you guys, I MADE A CURRY! and it tasted good!!!
I have the hardest time with curries, every so often i get the urge to make one and its just so bland, so I've pretty much given up on it. But something inspired me to try it again. After looking at a few recipes on the internet, I got the basis down and decided to go my own way and just make something up.
Feel free to use whatever vegetables are in season or you have on hand.
First – Prep your tofu. Set your oven to 400 degrees; cut into 1 inch cubes, put on baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. flip over and bake 10 minutes more. set aside.
Finely chop your onion, garlic and ginger Using about 2T coconut oil, sautee them in a large pan or saucepot. Once onions start to soften, add the curry powder and a 1-2 T water to deglaze the pan so nothing burns. Add the bell pepper and green beans and saute for a few minutes. pour in the coconut milk and add the tofu and let simmer for about 3-5 minutes. Add about 1/2 tspn or so of salt to help bring the flavors out in the vegetables. Add the brocolli and greens and cook for a few minutes more, until your vegetables reach your desired firmness. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the curry. Let stand for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.
Spoon on top of some rice, and top with cilantro and cashews. I sprinkled some simply asia ginger and garlic seasoning on top of mine.
Definitely adjust the seasonings to your liking, and feel free to customize with any you might think are good. This is a great recipe to start with and build on to make better and better each time.
Is your kid mine-craft obsessed like mine??! I dont know what hes more crazed about – watching the videos on you tube, or actually playing the game….I got this perfect sized box to fit right on my kiddos head, so we made a creeper out of it. We used masking tape and all our green shades of prismacolor markers to make it work. We taped off the squares, one by one, which worked as a good guide for milo to color in the squares evenly. We looked at a pattern online of the creeper so we would have an idea where the eyes would go. When we were finished we cut out squares in the eyes so he can see.
I tried this recipe to make cheesecake. Now, mine not have turned out to be the prettiest, but it defintely tasted good. Its really rich and decadent and tastes alot like the real thing, from what I can remember. My non-vegan friends loved it as well!
Place the whole cookies (filling and all) in a food processor or blender and pulse until the cookies resemble a coarse crumbly flour. Add the coconut oil and pulse for another second or two to combine.
Press the cookie crumb crust into an 8″ springform pan. Distribute evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Set aside.
Place the cashews and the coconut milk in a vitamix or high powered blender. Pulse the food processor for several seconds to break down the cashews. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
Add the vegan cream cheese and extra firm tofu and pulse again until smooth and creamy.
Next add the sugar, corn starch, margarine, and vanilla. Pulse for several seconds, up to a minute until you have a nice, creamy mixture.
Add the 10-12 roughly chopped Oreos and give it one more stir to combine. Set aside.
Turn your oven to 325F while you let the filling settle for a few minutes.
When the oven is ready, pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust and spread the 10-12 roughly chopped Oreos over the top.
Bake your cheesecake for 60 minutes and then turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven for another hour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before placing in the fridge. I recommend letting the cheesecake cool for at least four hours (or even a full day) before slicing and serving.
So I thought I was in the home stretch as I approach what I THOUGHT would be the last row of the blanket. The more I look at it, and the more I think about it, I'm going to just go for it and make it bigger. I'm planning one more row across down, and three more across. Which means I have about 50 more squares to make and a few more skeins of yarn to buy, since Im ran out of quite a few colors. I figure, if I'm going to do this, might as well DO this, am I right?! So I definitely have my work cut out for me, but this is such a fun project, I'm ok with it. Hopefully a few more weeks of work cut out for me, but photo sessions are starting to pick up, and we have some travel in our future, so we shall see….

Newspotting: How long will the coalition last for?
Another bad week in government for the Lib Dems.
Poor old Vince Cable, he received a public slapping down by David Cameron and Nick Clegg following his comments about Rupert Murdoch.
I haven't decided yet if I agree with the Telegraph's methods of using two undercover reporters to secretly record a conversation with Cable. The Business Secretary claimed he had 'declared war' on Rupert Murdoch's attempts to take full control of BskyB.
Under any other government Cable would have been sacked for saying this, but it looks like it's been decided the coalition will be stronger with Cable in it, rather than out.
For the first time since the government came to power, it got me thinking that perhaps the coalition won't last a full term.
How times have changed for Vince Cable. At the start of the year he was everyone's favourite MP, Saint Vince, he could do no wrong, now he's being humiliated in public.
I'm sure the Telegraph were partly motivated to try and expose more divisions within the coalition, but it shouldn't really be a surprise to people that there are policy disagreements between government ministers. Have people forgot how divided New Labour was between Blairites and Brownites?
I have to say, I don't get the attitude of some Lib Dem ministers. They've been given a great opportunity of being in government, but instead of trying to make the most of it, too many seem happy to complain about how difficult life is working with the Tories.
Considering the number of seats won at the last election, the Lib Dems have had a disproportionate influence on this government.
Despite this influence, the Party looks like it's trying to prevent an emotional breakdown as it battles the internal conflicts of being in government with the Tories.
You get the impression that some Lib Dems would prefer to be out of government but still have their principles. That's the easy option.
You can shout from the sidelines knowing that you'll never have to put any policies into practice or be scrutinised by the public.
The more complaints I here from Lib Dems, the more I think the coalition might not last the course.
David Cameron, and Nick Clegg may have a good working relationship, but they're both leading parties whose backbench members are increasingly uncomfortable and unsatisfied with the current arrangements.
There must be loads of Tory backbenchers who are sick of the Lib Dems having so much influence, but they're not making as much noise as their Lib Dem counterparts.
If the coalition was to collapse there would have to be another election. I'd expect the Lib Dems to take a battering and strangely enough I could see Labour getting re-elected.
It sounds bizarre as Ed Milliband hasn't made the strongest start to life as Labour leader. He's still trying to define what Labour under his leadership stands for.
But if the government's cuts start biting and the public become more unhappy they may turn back to Labour, almost by default.
The optimism of Cameron and Clegg in the back garden of No 10 celebrating the new coalition feels like a very long time ago.
I think 2011 could be a long a very long year for the Lib Dems and the government.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU THANK YOU MY FAMILY. ALL OF THE HELP THAT YOU ALL GAVE ME HELPED ME TO FIND INFO ABOUT MY FAMILY I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR, FOREVER.
My heart started to sing when I logged on this evening. I called my sister and we talked about the info and about you wonderful people who are always willing to help. I want to thank you all again and I ask GOD for blessings on your heads.
I've been a list member for about six months, and a day does not pass that I don't learn some interesting fact. This piece is one of the best, and most interesting that I've received from AFRIGENEAS.
That's what makes AfriGeneas a GREAT board, we help each other and advise each other, something the world is lacking. Thanks.
I derived such joy from the willingness of so many to share their knowledge with me. From the responses, I could tell that these were all people who derived great joy from sharing -- and that is the beauty of it all. Nothing is worth having if you can't share it with someone else. All of you will be the inspiration for me to continue my search for "From Whence I Came". Boy, am I glad I discovered AfriGeneas -- its FANTASTIC.
I stopped counting at 40 responses but there were more. I'm enclosing some of the details that were added. Thanks much!!!!!
Thank you to everyone here that replied to my cry for help on planning a reunion--I got some wonderful suggestions and ideas-book referrals and web page references and there is a digest on AfrGgeneas that talks about reunions.
He's been located!!! My grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Penn, has finally been found... Thank you all for the support and insights so far. Without a lot of your suggestions and advice, I'd still be wondering if this man existed. Thanks again.
Thank you! AfriGeneas is my support group. You all have opened so many doors it's incredible!... It's nice to get mail from AfriGeneas and share in everyone's triumphs.
I am an African (Nigerian) happy to come across your website. Lots of people will benefit from this especially our younger generation. This will not only help them in knowing their history and culture, but will help establish a better relationship with Africans. Keep up the good job.
Before you think I did this all on my own, I must tell you about the wonderful African American family genealogists / family historians at www.afrigeneas.com who gave me my start with their helpful experienced advice and gave their time to help with census lookups, etc. I remain an active member of the AfriGeneas forums today and give freely back as I continue to volunteer my time to do many lookups or share my experience with the novice. They say you can't keep what you don't give away and I strongly believe it!
AfriGeneas is the premiere online destination for anyone conducting African American or African Ancestored genealogical research. The website consists of twenty-seven forums, eight regular chats, the AfriGeneas Mail List and over 100 additional discussion, geographic and surname mailing lists, a surnames database containing over 50,000 records, a death records database containing over 17,000 obituaries and funeral programs, a marriage records database of over 5000 records, a slave records collection of over 3000 records, census schedules, a documents and articles library, rss news feeds and much, much more.
The AfriGeneas Family Reunion Primer is the top-ranked African American family reunion planning site.
AfriGeneas is run by a small staff and a dedicated group of volunteers. Webmaster Valencia King Nelson and Site Administrator B.J. Smothers are responsible for the day-to-day operations.
AfriGeneas evolved from a small group of "GeneaBuddies" into the largest African Ancestored genealogy mailing list and from that into the best-known African Ancestored genealogy forums and chats on the internet.
It grew from traditional genealogy to fill a specific need: to assist every researcher with African ancestry to find his roots. In particular, AfriGeneas aims to help researchers to climb the "1870 brick wall" and to reconnect their family trees across the chasm created by slavery and the diaspora.
AfriGeneas began in the late 1980s on independent Bulletin Board Systems and on Special Interest Groups at Prodigy, Compuserve and America Online. By 1996, the AfriGeneas name had been coined and AfriGeneas consisted of several interconnected services housed at different locations on the internet. The backbone of AfriGeneas was the mailing list hosted by Mississippi State University which had thousands of subscribers. AfriGeneas also had a presence on AOL, in particular with the African American genealogy chats hosted by the Genealogy Forum. There was also a website and an e-newsletter.
The AfriGeneas.com domain was launched in March 1999.
See "Welcome and Perspective" for further information.
The AfriGeneas Family pictured in our logo has become synonymous with AfriGeneas. The five generations of a slave family on J.J. Smith's Plantation, Beaufort, South Carolina were captured on film by Civil War photographer Timothy H. O'Sullivan c.1862.
The word AfriGeneas is derived from African American Genealogy Buddies. It's pronounced: A · fri · GEE · nee · as. Hear it spoken.

Valencia King Nelson, one of the original founders, is an online genealogy pioneer and the guiding light of AfriGeneas.
Ms. Nelson was a pioneer in launching the development of Black genealogy on the internet. She and a few others visionaries realized that the Bulletin Board System could easily accommodate genealogy. With Ms. Nelson paving the way, the Black genealogy community was born and soon connected researchers from New York to Ohio to points south.
Ms. Nelson is a retired Social Worker who spent most of her professional career at the University of California, Santa Barbara. As an interesting aside, one of her students at UCSB—Steve Case—went on to found AOL, although at the time she admits that she had "no clue" about his future direction and success. Three years ago she received a Lifetime Achievement Award and retired as the Personnel Director of the Genealogy Forum at AOL where she spent more than a decade spearheading the African American Special Interest Group.
Originally from Anniston, Alabama, she now resides in Marietta, Georgia.
B.J. Smothers is a co-founder of AfriGeneas' website, AfriGeneas.com. She has been its developer and site administrator from its inception in 1999.
Ms. Smothers has been researching her family history for over 20 years. In 1995 she discovered online genealogy and began transcribing records and sharing them on the internet. She founded African American Census Schedules Online (which is now a part of AfriGeneas.com) and African American Cemeteries Online. She became part of the Alabama GenWeb Project in 1996 and has been the coordinator of the Dallas County and Wilcox County sites ever since. Her current projects include the Black Belt DNA Project hosted by Family Tree DNA and co-sponsored by AfriGeneas with the goal of reconnecting Alabama Black Belt families whose ties were torn apart by slavery, the Civil War and the Diaspora.
Ms. Smothers was reared in Queens, NY and lived in Atlanta, GA for 20 years. She currently resides in Selma, AL. She is a former banker, urban planner, historic preservation consultant and antiques shop owner. She is the founder and President of the Black Belt African American Genealogical and Historical Society headquartered in Selma.
Eric Thomas manages the main AfriGeneas mailing lists at MsState.edu and 100-plus surname and geographic mail lists on the Yahoo and AfriGeneas servers. He keeps the meeting rooms and chat center functioning and user friendly and is a co-manager of the AfriGeneas Genealogy Technology forum.
Eric Thomas became actively involved in genealogy in the early 1980's. He began frequenting genealogy BBSes and about 1990 he became a regular visitor to Tracks, a BBS that that Valencia King Nelson operated out of Anniston, AL. He has been affiliated with AfriGeneas and its precursors ever since. In addition to his work with AfriGeneas, Mr. Thomas is a founding member and past two term president of the Sacramento African American Genealogy Group (SAAGG).
Originally from Philadelphia, he now lives in Sacramento, CA. He is twice retired from careers as a computer programmer and from the Sacramento Fire Department.
Angela Walton-Raji is a well-known and respected expert in African American and African-Native genealogy. She was the long-time moderator of the African American and African-Native genealogy chats at AOL and currently co-hosts the Tuesday night chats at AfriGeneas.com. She is also the manager of AfriGeneas' African-Native American forum.
Ms. Walton-Raji, the author of several books including Black Indian Genealogy Research: African American Ancestors Among the Five Civilized Tribes, a guide to researching the 20,000 Freedmen of the Indian Territory, has researched her family history for more than a quarter of a century. In 1991, she found her family records among those of the Choctaw Nation then discovered that her great grandparents were African slaves of Choctaw Indians, and that her ancestors were among several thousand Africans who were enslaved by Native Americans, including those who migrated west on the Trail of Tears.
Ms. Walton-Raji has spent more than twenty years in higher education recruitment. She currently resides in Baltimore, Maryland where she is the Director of Graduate School Recruitment at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

A California bill meant to replace the FCC's repealed Obama-era net neutrality rules is on its way to becoming law.
Senate Bill 822, written by state Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco, made it through its first vote before the state Senate's Energy, Utilities and Communications Committee on Tuesday. The committee voted 8-3 along party lines to support the bill with only minor amendments. The next vote will be before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The project is the third in California to seek to invoke SB35. The first, in West Berkeley, is a 260-unit building on a parking lot across the street from the historic Spenger's restaurant. The second is a proposal to replace an antiquated shopping mall near the Apple campus in Cupertino with a 2,400-unit residential complex.
Wiener said the three projects are proof that the law is working.
"When people first interact with Toni, what they see is a very unassuming, low-key person who has a bit of an earth mother affect about her," said Sen. Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat. "People sometimes mistake that for weakness. But what they don't see is right underneath that surface is pure steel. She is tough as nails. But she has a huge heart."
"We can have all the electric vehicles and solar panels in the world, but we won't meet our climate goals without making it easier for people to live near where they work, and live near transit and drive less," Mr. Wiener said.
If Broadband providers thought that they'd be subject to fewer regulations after the Federal Communications Commission voted in December to jettison its net neutrality protections, they could be disappointed.
As local governments in San Diego County work to encourage more housing production to alleviate the region's housing crisis, lawmakers in Sacramento are debating changes to a long untouchable facet of California law: local control over housing and land use.
At the heart of our housing crisis is a simple fact: California has been growing for decades without adding nearly enough new housing to absorb that growth. Experts estimate our state's housing deficit at nearly 4 million homes. That deficit grows by 100,000 each year, as the state adds less than half the new homes we need annually.
The unfortunate answer is that too many California cities and counties impose zoning restrictions that make it practically impossible to build low-cost, walkable housing. For decades, state leaders have allowed these local zoning policies to proliferate, to the point that the state now faces a severe housing shortage.
In response, state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, has introduced landmark legislation to encourage more housing near transit. Senate Bill 827 would increase allowable density, eliminate minimum parking requirements and modestly raise height limits, depending on the location.
Scott Wiener, the San Francisco senator who wrote the streamlining bill on which the recent report was based, said in an interview that numbers like those reported by Beverly Hills are why he is working on a new bill that would try to neutralize the role of politics in housing production by tying future state housing goals to economic measures like job growth. It would also carry forward past housing deficits so that cities that don't build will lose further control over local housing decisions as time goes on.
San Francisco – Today, Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) released the following statement regarding reports that Federal immigration officials have raided 77 workplaces in Northern California, requiring employers to produce proof regarding their employees' legal right to work.

Australians shine on moving day
BARWON HEADS, AUSTRALIA – Feb 3, 2018: The future of Australian golf was on full display in the third round of the Oates Vic Open as Minjee Lee held her lead heading into the final day at 13thBeach Golf Links near Melbourne, as three young Australians featured in the top four.
The world number 20, from Perth, Lee posted a two-over 75 in strong winds to end the day on seven-under-par, a stroke ahead of rookie professional Karis Davidson, who had a sensational six-under 67.
Perth's Hannah Green climbed into a share of third place with a two-under 71, to sit alongside Marianne Skarpnord, from Norway.
American Cheyenne Woods, Swede Pernilla Lindberg and England's Georgia Hall are five shots from the lead.
Although Lee struggled in the wind, with four bogeys on her card, she limited the damage with two birdies at the fifth and 15th to remain well placed for her second
Oates Vic Open title, having previously won in 2014 as a 17-year-old amateur.
"The conditions were tougher and obviously the wind was really strong," Lee said. "It was tougher to get to the pins and at the start, a few putts probably lipped out and, obviously on the last hole, but in the middle I think I saved quite a few, so it was half and half today. I mean the wind was crazy out there and obviously you want to play well but you have to stay patient as well and just take whatever it gives you and just get on with it."
Scottish-born Queenslander Davidson, 19, rattled in six birdie putts to move into contention for her first professional title since turning pro in December.
She said: "It was challenging. Sometimes I had a great shot which would go too far into a bunker. You had to really trust to hit two or three clubs extra which is sometimes hard to fathom.
"I just had a really good round today, but I definitely wasn't expecting to be one off the lead. My goal coming into this week this top 20. This is my first four-day professional event. But I'm not feeling any pressure I'm just going to go out tomorrow and do my best and have fun."
Green, who spent 40 hours in the same clothes and a practice day without clubs after the long trip from the LPGA Tour's Bahamas event left her in Melbourne without her luggage on Wednesday, felt tournament ready by Saturday.
She said: "I was able to sleep in this morning and I got a lot of a lot of rest which was good. I think I'm a bit more settled than what it was like the last two days, so it's just nice to be able to concentrate on the golf course when it's one of these tough challenging courses.
"Any win in Australia would obviously be massive. I haven't really thought about it, like this week I just wanted to make the cut, type of thing, with all the circumstances but now that I am in contention it's obviously on my mind. I know I've got to drive well tomorrow and make sure it's in play. But you also got to make a lot of putts. It's pretty windy out there."
Green, who tied for 11th place last week in the Bahamas in even windier conditions, was determined to make the trip to play in the Oates Vic Open.
She said: "I have a great host family, Ian and Cynthia who look after me and I get to stay with my boyfriend (Jarryd Felton) who also plays, so not only are we out playing a great course but you know we're playing in a great area for great money, so it was kind of hard to turn down."
The final round of the Oates Vic Open gets under way at 7.45am local time on Sunday and the Australian trio of Lee, Davidson and Green will tee off in the last group at 11.40am.

The purpose of the zebra's unique fur colour has not been entirely clarified. It does seem to work as camouflage against predators, but only in certain circumstances. Let yourself be enchanted by the striking stripe pattern of the zebras in our handmade acrylic paintings. The colour combination of black and white not only accentuates zebra motifs, but also achieves a unique effect in abstract oil paintings in large format. Zebras wear these colours from the top of their ears to the tip of their tails — but are they white with black stripes or black with white stripes? That's a matter of opinion. What is clear, though, is that no stripe is like the next. Just as no two zebras look the same, all of our KunstLoft paintings are one-of-a-kind pieces of art.
Africa is the second largest continent on earth and is well known for its incredible flora and fauna as well as countless national parks. The zebra lives in herds in the African Savanna. During the dry season, zebra herds retreat to better pastures. Bring a piece of Africa into your living room with our paintings and explore the vastness of the African steppes from the comfort of your sofa. As diverse as this part of the world is with its massive deserts and impressive coastlines, so too are the colourful and varied acrylic paintings from KunstLoft.
Our paintings are hand picked to amaze you and your guests every day. The choice is all yours: At KunstLoft you will find handmade acrylic paintings in various sizes and styles. Find the painting that will turn your world upside down!
Black and white stripes trot through the endless steppe landscape. The zebra looks around gracefully and immediately draws your attention as the subject of a wall painting. Go on a safari through the wilderness of Africa in your office or living room. Your visitors will be delighted by this visualised journey to the south.

Asia Argento Reportedly Agreed to Pay Off an Actor Who Accused Her Of Sexual Assault
E. Oliver Whitney
E. Oliver Whitney Published: August 20, 2018
Actress and filmmaker Asia Argento is most recently known for being a prominent voice in the #MeToo movement since she shared her own Harvey Weinstein story last fall, and as the girlfriend of the late Anthony Bourdain. A new report from The New York Times has now revealed that Argento allegedly made a deal to quietly pay off her own accuser.
According to The Times, Argento recently agreed to pay $380,000 to a young actor and musician who has accused her of sexual assault. In documents and letters leaked to the paper, Jimmy Bennett, now 22-years-old, claimed Argento sexually assaulted him in a California hotel room in 2013, when he was 17 and she was 37 at the time. The story notes that the legal age of consent in the state is 18.
The two had known each other for years before the alleged incident. In 2003 they both acted in Argento's film The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, in which Bennett played the son of Argento's character. They stayed in contact since and reunited at Argento's Marina del Rey hotel in the spring of 2013. According to the documents, Bennett said Argento asked a family member to leave so the two could be alone, gave him alcohol, kissed him, performed oral sex, and then had intercourse with him. The two then took photos, which Argento posted on her Instagram. In the notice of intent, Bennett said after leaving the hotel he began to feel "extremely confused, mortified, and disgusted."

About a month after Argento came forward about being sexually assaulted by Weinstein in a New Yorker exposé last October, Bennett's lawyers sent Argento a notice of intent. Bennett said seeing Argento in the spotlight as a Weinstein accuser and victim of assault brought back his own memories of their hotel reunion. Bennett initially asked Argento for $3.5 million in damages, claiming the assault threatened his mental health as well as his income and acting career. She reportedly agreed to pay him $380,000 and made an initial payment of $200,000 this past April.
Rose McGowan, who became close with Argento throughout the #MeToo movement, responded to the news on Twitter on Monday.
Though The Times said they've been reaching out to Argento's reps since last Thursday, neither she or her lawyers have commented on the report.

I love "After Eights" and let's be honest everyone loves them, if you don't well we can't all be perfect can we Ha! It really is all about having some homemade ones though, making them as thick or with as much filling as you want. Plus, rather than having a purely fondant sugar filling makes them a great snack to have at the office or while you're travelling!
They're also incredibly easy to make too!!
EPICNESSSSSSSSSSS!!! The gods will forever be jealous of you to be able to indulge in such awesomeness!

Black History Feature of the Day: Did You Know That Dwight Eisenhower and Some Other Famous People Were Black?
This essay started innocently enough. I read and shared a Facebook post declaring that President Dwight D. Eisenhower's mother was mulatto. Which, in our racially driven American society (the "one drop" theory) would make Eisenhower Black as well.
That the idea raises such hackles in people is a sure sign that it means something to people, whether positively or negatively. In my mind, it is a huge part of the Conversation on Race that we need to have. I'll address this a bit later.
But let me start with this little theory: Maybe Barack Obama isn't the first Black President of the United States!
There is speculation that he is "merely" the sixth. The other five being: Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Warren G. Harding, and Calvin Coolidge! This list does not even include Bill Clinton who, by virtue of his "cool" saxophone playing on late night TV when he first ran for president (and other characteristics), was dubbed by some (and, certainly, sarcastically) the first Black president.
It is not my intention to delve into all of these speculations, even though whole books have been written about them. I invite you to do your own research and draw your own conclusions. However, the Jefferson theory caught me by surprise; I was aware of his Black mistress (Sally Hemmings) and children, but I'd never heard of any of his ancestors being Black. Jackson, Harding, and Coolidge also threw me for a loop. I have seen and heard plenty of speculations about Abraham Lincoln, though, including the supposed "whitening" of his profile on the penny versus his appearance in some photographs.
I do want to talk a little about the Eisenhowers, before branching out to a couple of stars of stage and screen (one of whom is definitely Black) who chose to "pass as White" in order to attain their star status.
The Eisenhowers: "Evidence" of Blackness?
In her wedding photo, Mrs. Ida Eisenhower certainly looks Black or mixed race. Also, to my eye, two of D.D.E.'s brothers "look" mixed in some photographs, particularly in younger photos I viewed: Earl D. (an electrical engineer and, briefly, legislator, died in 1968); and Milton S. Eisenhower, known here in Baltimore, Maryland as a former President of Johns Hopkins University; he died in 1985). Even D.D.E. looks Black in a photo of him at West Point.
So what makes me identify them as Black? For one thing, there's something about their complexion that looks darker, even in black-and-white photos. And there are facial features: the broad noses, the hair texture of Earl and Milton, and even the thickness of their lips in younger photos.
One thing is for certain: There is no way that any of these illustrious people could have attained their positions, given the times they lived in, if their "Blackness" were known. They would have had to pass as white.
The Actor Joseph Cotten was Black!
How do I "know"? Because my father always told me so. My dad had served in the military with a cousin of this actor, who swore it was true. And whenever I saw Joseph Cotten in the movies, there was something about him—again, a slightly darker complexion than most White people have; again, the broad nose and fuller lips; and that curly blonde hair, almost nappy at the nape. Also, there was something about his demeanor that seemed to transcend the roles he played, suggesting that he didn't "belong" or that he was hiding some dark secret.
Of course, in the official biographies of Cotten, there is no mention of this. In fact, he came from a family of privilege, from Virginia, a major crossroad of the slave trade. But even in his childhood photos, there's something "different" about him.
In her 2002 autobiography, Just Lucky, I Guess, Ms. Channing reveals what some in the Black community (myself included) long suspected: her father, though a prominent journalist, became successful by passing as white, just as Ms. Channing herself did. Her father was the son of a German-American father and an African-American mother. Channing says that when she left home for college, her mother told her the truth so she wouldn't be surprised if she had a black baby.
I always suspected it because of her luscious, large red lips, her huge eyes, her raspy voice, and her propensity for blonde wigs. In fact, she always reminded me of one of my great-aunts, who was similarly light-complected and had beautiful wavy hair that she also hid under blonde wigs.
In my research today, I came across a very interesting article on why fair-skinned Black people once chose to "pass" (http://old.post-gazette.com/lifestyle/20031026stain1026fnp2.asp). It was a necessity in the not-so-distant past. In the pre-integration eras, companies actually used the "paper bag test" to determine whether a Black person was "worthy" to be hired, especially if that person was going to be in the public eye (think receptionists, or telephone operators, for example). If you were lighter than a brown paper bag, you had a better chance of being hired. Unfortunately, this practice also extended into the Black community, with certain colleges, social organizations, and other types of organizations using this test to accept or exclude members.
Recently, there was a commercial for Android with the message that we should celebrate our differences. I heartily agree. We should celebrate the differences because, let's face it, this world is made up of varieties of human beings. We are not all the same! I've seen pictures of African people who look Chinese ("slanted" eyes, prominent cheekbones, thin lips), and Japanese people who look African (broad noses, not-so-straight hair). I've seen redheaded White people who look Black— despite their often pale complexion, their red hair is often curly or even bushy. And some of them (like Simply Red) sing "Black!" I've seen natives of India who are more ebony hued than some Africans. The Australian Aborigines and some Hawaiians (photographed in the late 1800s) have broader noses and fuller lips than many Africans do (and yet, they are not "classified" as Black because their hair is straighter; i.e., more "Caucasian" looking).
The issue is not that we are different. It is only when we seek to judge each other and to place more value on one culture—or color—than another that we begin to have problems. How is it that Egypt is considered a "Middle Eastern" country, when it is in fact on the continent of Africa?
The bottom line is that we are all human—red and yellow, black, brown, and white. And we all have equal value as human beings.
Mam, where did you find this picture? Is it from a book, a journal? Where is it from?
Unfortunately, I was not able to find the source of the picture. That's one of the problems with relying on online sources. Thank you so much for reading my article.
Try the book Six Black Presidents.
Try the book Six Black Presidents. Another person, not a president but definitely a founding father, is Alexander Hamilton.
This is the most info I have gotten anywhere on the 34th President of America. It is well needed.
Thanks for your link. Unfortunately, it is no longer active. If you can find another legitimate site, please let me know, and I will be happy to post it.
Yes this is true Clark Gables was a black man. So was Jackie Kennedy black lady… Please know the list doesn't stop there.
I attended an FHA conference when I was in high school and one of the speakers said something that has stayed with me the rest of my life. He said that there are not black, white, red, or yellow people. We are all different shades of brown. My dad taught me that each individual stands on their own merit regardless of the color of their skin. We are all part of the human family. The recent availability of genetic testing has actually shown that people are not always what they think they are. Loved your post, blessings!
Mulatto is a slave term. Mixed is for animals. We are proudly bi-racial.
Quadroon, octoroon, preto, trigueño, blanco oscura, Creole, light-skinned, etc., are all terms for Negroes descended from Black Africans. You might also want to use mestizo.
Thank you for this article. I'd like to read more of what you write. How to subscribe?
Colorism within the black community is understandable as reflecting and internalizing white prejudices and racist pressures. However, I think it is as important for individuals identifying (or identified) as black to look in the mirror of their heart and wrestle with the injustice of harboring such prejudices as it is for whites to look at and confront their own prejudices, racism, and responsibility for change.
It's hard, but it's the right thing to do.
Do you (just) want your kids to be happy, or do you want them to do what makes them better people and find happiness in doing so? What you want for them, strive for yourself.
J Edgar Hoover, as a matter of fact, there is a video on youtube! The black woman who does the research for her family some 60 years later! Her family in the South were afraid to talk about it, because of fear for their lives!
I loved this article….I have no doubt that there is far more African in white families than we know. It is all good.
Every black person knows that Joseph Cotton was black – you can see it in his hair the curly waves at the front just wont let him quite pass. Regardless he was a great actor. Another famous person who has black origins is Charlie Chaplin – if you see pictures of his mother you will see the connection. Oh by the way I always thought Jimmy Carter and his wife had some of the juice as well. Also if you look far enough in the history of the British Royal Family you will also see they have Moorish blood in the blood line of Queen Mary. So we are all mixed – might as well just accept it.
One should not be characterized by the way he or she looks on the outside or what by what blood they have. We are merely humans, on this earth but for a while. God does NOT judge by what you look like on outside, He judges you by your heart. Be kind to everyone.
It would had been appropriate if you had credited the source for this article as Nile Valley Contributions to Civlization.
Thank you for this additional information. As I mentioned in the article and previous comments, I had to rely on the sources available to me at the time this article was written.


Spring has finally arrived and people around the country could not be happier. With the warmer temperatures comes the perfect opportunity for companies to distribute spring promotional products. Giving colorful, fun items to consumers is a great way for businesses to promote their brands while reveling in the excitement of the season.
This season offers the perfect time for people to participate in some of their favorite activities that winter prevented. Companies can help people plan the ideal spring day by providing them with promotional products best suited to their needs.
Whether they're bringing the family along for lunch in the park or packing a romantic dinner for two, consumers love picnics. While wicker baskets and tote bags are good for carrying food products, coolers and thermal lunch boxes are ideal. For example, the Icy Bright Cooler Tote Bag can not only carry several food items, but its thermal interior provides optimal temperatures for keeping them cool throughout the day. After lunch, consumers can participate in some of their favorite spring games, such as Frisbee or soccer, while using the Icy Bright 24-Pack Cooler Bag to store their favorite beverages.
Companies looking to market toward the more active crowd can also consider distributing sports bottles, ideal for transporting water on-the-go or sipping from them during rigorous sports. Picnic-goers can keep their bottles in their coolers while they eat lunch, then participate in physical activities while keeping their water handy.
Golfing is the preferred pastime for a number of business professionals, whether an executive has arranged for a company outing to the green or employees visit the course to release a little steam. Promotional golf products are ideal for this crowd, especially since these items are sturdy, long-lasting and likely to be seen by a variety of individuals outside of the consumer's circle.
Distributing golf balls that feature a company's logo, such as the Titleist Pro V1 Custom Golf Balls, is an ideal choice for businesses looking for far-reaching products. Golfers frequently lose or switch these items on the golf course, meaning the turnover rate for this product is extremely high. Companies looking to distribute products that feature a much larger logo could look into handing out golf towels, which can prominently display a brand to a range of visitors to the course. Umbrellas are another great option for golfers, providing shade from the sun and protection from the rain.
Spring is the best time of year to get a jump start on cleaning and home renovations. Whether consumers are looking for decorative items or tools to aid with their construction plans, there is a range of products companies can provide. For the builder, custom tape measures or promotional tool kits are wonderful options. These items are not only of great use to people who are working on home improvements, but they also last much longer than other promotional products. By prominently displaying the company's brand on these items, businesses can ensure greater exposure for their offerings.
While these products are great for people currently building or cleaning, there are several others best suited for those who are designing their new space. Journals, portfolios and notepads are great options for people planning their renovations, as are accompanying pens, pencils and markers. For those who prefer digital renderings, companies can consider handing out touch-screen styluses with logos. These styluses are not only perfect for people who use their mobile devices to draw plans, but they are useful for applications that go far beyond artistic creations.


Last week I announced the launch of Acts of Bravery website coming at the end of April, designed to inspire+empower+motivate you on your brave journey to live fully in your dreams. If you missed it. Check out all the details here.
A potion of Acts of Bravery is BraveResources, divided into four sections—BraveYou, BraveRelationships, BraveParenting, BraveCareer.
No matter the circumstance, change starts within. If you want to live a brave life, be wholly and completely you, and run hard after those dreams, no matter how scary, you have to look at you. BraveYou resources help identify who you are at the core, places you want to grow, and obstacles tethering you down.
BraveYou resources also address the Body+Mind+Spirit connection. Sometimes, just one of these areas needs a little elbow grease. But often, we forget as integrated beings, each part affects the other and this un-awareness causes problems. Read about how this exact problem affected me and the brave steps I took to heal here.
And to take it a step farther, today's post is all about BraveYou and is part of the 3-Weeks to a Braver You e-mail course I'm in the prossess of creating.
Look for an excerpt of BraveRelationships next week!
Now Onto Dreaming . . .
If you're anything like me, and I'm betting you are, life has dealt you a few disappointments.
Some disappointments are easier to get over: Someone took the last bowl of triple chocolate ice cream. Your favorite restaurant is closed on Sundays and you're starving. The dentist was out of the red freebie toothbrushes at your cleaning.
The worst disappointments are devastating: Losing your business during the recession. A broken relationship that simply won't mend. A chronic illness.
For me, disappointment stopped my dreaming. Why bother? Even if I got to have my dream, I'd end up losing it anyway.
Talk about a bright ball of sunshine, right? There's a word for this type of thinking: Hopelessness.
Shutting down hope, therefore dreams, puts us in a box. Let's label this box Fear. When we live in the Fear Box we hedge ourselves, creating protections that make our world smaller and smaller.
Take the "losing relationship" disappointment. This, unfortunately, has been a theme in my life, for reasons I won't get into here. About ten years ago, I had the opportunity to be part of a friend group with five other women. Despite how much I loved every single one of them, I feared stepping in fully, jumping in with both feet. How long would it last before they rejected me? Which one of them would betray me? How long would these relationships last before they deserted me?
I stopped dead in my tracks. Every single nerve in my body screamed, Yes!
That Yes! broke those defense mechanisms. I want to tell you it was all hunky dory and smooth sailing from then on out, but I had to learn to fully invest my heart, to trust again. And every step closer to vulnerability with my friends, every decision to present me, instead of holding back, broke those faulty defense mechanisms even further.
In one of my counseling sessions, my therapist said something that stuck. I'm paraphrasing here. Life is messy. We never know what's next. Bad things happen to good people. Good things happen to good people. There's no rhyme or reason, no way of tilting the world for good stuff to roll in our direction. We must play the hand we've been dealt. How we play it, makes us who we are.
I want to be the type of person who refuses to let the worst times of life imprison me in hopelessness. I want to rise from them stronger, more resilient, and wiser.
To do that takes tenacious hope, and hope is spawned from dreams.
If we want to live fully and wholly, we must be brave enough to dream again.
But, Rachelle, I've tried. I don't know how to begin to dream again.
You're in luck. I have three questions for you to jump-start your mind thinking about your dreams.
But first, grab your journal, pen, and highlighter. This is a play as we go post. Do the activities. Consider it self-care. I'm here with you. Let's do this!
Question 1: What did you dream about as a kid?
Take that pen and start scribbling down everything that pops in your mind. You know them. Olympic gymnast. Pro soccer goalie. Captain of the treehouse club. Horse rancher. Teacher. Store owner. Cat whispered. Magic wielder.
Those were some of mine from third grade.
You know yours. No matter how small, how outrageously impossible, write it down.
If it helps start with as young as you can remember and work your way up through your stages of life. What we dream about as a four-year-old is usually vastly different from a graduating senior, but some of those dreams might be hauntingly similar and probably still strike an emotional cord in your depths. That's the gold. Highlight those.
Question 2: What feels impossible, but you long for it anyway?
Got that paper? Is your pen poised to start scratching away?
That thing that you want? The one you have buried so deep, maybe you haven't even fessed up to wanting it to yourself.
Yes, that thing. Take a deep, calming breath. And dare to write it down.
I'm smiling ear to ear. I know how rough that was and I am soooooooo proud of you, because admitting these dreams is the first step to getting to live them.
Now, before you forget, scroll down to the comments and tell me what you wrote. If you're not ready to go public yet, no problem. Private message me here. Writing your deepest desires in your journal and closing it up and forgetting about it is one thing. But telling someone else? Now you have some skin in the game.
Question 3: Fill in the blank. If only __________, then I will be happy.
I know. I know. This can quickly turn into a contentment issue. There's a whole post I plan to write on contentment later. But for now, put that aside, because we are daring to dream. So, just like before, as you mull over this question when those thoughts pop in your mind, write them down. Every single one.
This is brainstorming, not cement. If you write something down that doesn't ring true in a few days, you can always cross it out. But the point of these exercises is to purge. To dig down deep to the well of dreams that you've covered up with the silt and rubble of disappointment.
We're getting our juices flowing.
Flexing that atrophied dream muscle.
All in preparation for the final bonus activity.
Bonus Activity: Write down 100 dreams.
This is a toughy. When I went through this exercise, I got to around twenty and had to start drilling. But use those childhood dreams. Mine from those. Take as long as you need.
In prep, make it easy for yourself. Grab your journal and make a numbered list from 1 to 100. Now snag a post it, dog ear the page, mark it however you wish so the list is easily accessible. I recommend keeping the list handy as you go about your day, because dreams always reveal themselves at the most inconvenient times. But don't lose them. Write them down as they come.
You've taken a huge brave step today. Even if these exercises were easy for you, having your dreams written down, in an accessible place for future reference (hint, hint, this activity is a foundation for others) is courageous.
Now as always, go share these dreams with your accountability partner, mentor, or a friend. I'd love to hear about them too! Write them in comments or on any of my social media sites.
Also! In prep for the Acts of Bravery launch click here to Join the Acts of Bravery Community. You'll receive all the fun updates as I add more resources to help along your brave warrior journey.
I wish you a brave week, full of dreaming big!
I love the way you write, Rachelle. You keep me going!

Births: Final Data for 2018
Questions for Joyce Martin, Health Statistician and Lead Author of "Births: Final Data for 2018"
Q: What is new in this report from the 2018 provisional birth report?
JM: In addition to providing final numbers and rates for numerous birth characteristics such as fertility rates, teen childbearing, cesarean delivery and preterm and low birthweight, this report presents final information on teen childbearing by race and Hispanic origin and by state, births to unmarried women, tobacco use during pregnancy, source of payment for the delivery and twin and triplet childbearing.
Q: Was there a specific finding in the 2018 final birth data that surprised you?
JM: The continued decline in birth rates to unmarried women (down 2% for 2017-2018 to 40.1 births per 1,000 unmarried women), the fairly steep decline in tobacco smoking among pregnant women (down 6% to 6.5% of all women) and the continued declines in twin (down 2%) and triplet (down 8%) birth rates. Also of note is the decline in the percentage of births covered by Medicaid between 2017 and 2018 (down 2% to 42.3%) and the small rise in the percentage covered by private insurance (49.6% in 2018).
Q: How did you obtain this data for this report?
JM: These data are based on information for all birth certificates registered in the United States for 2018.
Q: What is the take home message for this report?
JM: Birth certificate data provide a wealth of important current and trend information on demographic and maternal and infant health characteristics for the United States.
Q: Why do you think the birth has dropped in the U.S.?
JM: The factors associated with family formation and childbearing are numerous and complex, involving psychological, cultural, demographic, and socio-economic influences. The data on which the report is based come from all birth certificates registered in the U.S. While the data provide a wealth of information on topics such as the number of births occurring in small areas, to small population groups, and for rare health outcomes, the data do not provide information on the attitudes and behavior of the parents regarding family formation and childbearing. Accordingly, the data in and of itself cannot answer the question of why births have dropped in the U.S.

Questions for Joyce A. Martin, M.P.H., Demographer, Statistician, and Lead Author on "Births: Final Data for 2015"
Q: Was there a result in your study's analysis of births in the United States that you hadn't expected and that really surprised you?
JM: Although small, (from 9.57% to 9.63%) the rise in the preterm birth rate (births of less than 37 completed weeks of gestation) was unexpected. This rate had been declining steadily since 2007.
Also of note is the decline in the triplet and higher-order multiple birth rate, down 9% from 2014 to 2015, and a decrease of 46% since 1998. The year 2015 also is the third straight year of declines in the rate of cesarean delivery (rate of 32.0% in 2015).
The continued, large decline in the teen birth rate (down 8% from 2014 to 2015) was also somewhat surprising, although not unprecedented. From 2007 through 2014, the teen birth rates had declined 7% annually.
Q: What is the difference between this new births report and the other reports your office produced on 2015 birth data, like the preliminary data report on 2015 births and the Data Brief on teen births?
JM: The annual report "Births: Final Data for 2015" offers substantially more detail (e.g., age, race and Hispanic origin of mother, state) on key topics, than does the report on preliminary birth statistics ("Births: Preliminary Data for 2015"). The final report also includes information on topics not included in the preliminary reports such as multiple births, attendant and place of birth, birth order and birth rates for fathers.
Q: How has the number of births in the United States changed in 2015 from previous years?
JM: The number of births in the United States declined slightly in 2015 (by 9,579 births to 3,978,497) from 2014. The decline for 2015 followed an increase in births for 2014, which was the first increase since 2007.
Q: What differences, if any, did you see among race and ethnic groups, and among various ages?
JM: Of continued concern are the higher risks of poor birth outcomes as measured by levels of preterm birth and low birthweight among non-Hispanic black mothers compared with total births and other race and Hispanic origin groups. For example, in 2015 the preterm birth rate for births to non-Hispanic black mothers was more than 50% higher at 13.41% than for non-Hispanic white women (8.88%) and nearly 50% higher than the rate for births to Hispanic mothers (9.14%).
Q: Did you observe any regional or state differences in this study on births?
JM: Differences by state were observed for many of the demographic and medical/health items included in the 2015 final birth report. For example, from 2014 to 2015, the general fertility rate–which is the number of births per 1,000 women aged 15–44–declined in eight states and was essentially unchanged in the 42 states and the District of Columbia (DC). In 2015, the general fertility rate ranged among states from 51.1 births per 1,000 women aged 15–44 in Vermont to 78.2 in South Dakota.
Also, increases in preterm birth rates were limited to four states from 2014 to 2015: Arkansas, California, Nebraska, and North Carolina. Rates declined in four states: Montana, New York, Texas and Wyoming. Nonsignificant differences were reported for the remaining states and DC.

Report card for Nation's health focuses on young adults aged 18-29
Young adults in the United States aged 18-29 face a number of health challenges, including increases in obesity, high injury rates, and a lack of insurance coverage compared to other adults, according to the latest report on the nation's health from NCHS.
Obesity rates have tripled among young adults in the past three decades, rising from 8 percent in 1971-74 to 24 percent in 2005-06.
In 2006, 29 percent of young men were current cigarette smokers compared to 21 percent of young adult women.
In 2005, unintentional injuries (''accidents''), homicide, and suicide accounted for 70 percent of deaths among young adults 18–29 years of age. Three-quarters of the 47,000 deaths in this age group occurred among young men.
In 2006, young adults aged 20–24 were more likely to be uninsured (34 percent) than those aged 18–19 (21 percent) and those aged 25–29 (29 percent).

Teen births increase in over one-half of states
The teen birth rate increased in more than half of all 50 states in 2006, according to an NCHS report released today. Click here for the report.
The data show teen birth rates were highest in the South and Southwest, with the highest rate recorded in Mississippi (68.4), followed by New Mexico (64.1) and Texas (63.1).
Teen birth rates in 2006 were lowest in the Northeast in 2006, with the lowest rates occurring in New Hampshire (18.7), Vermont (20.8), and Massachusetts (21.3). The only states with a decrease in teen birth rates between 2005 and 2006 were North Dakota, Rhode Island, and New York.
NCHS reported in December 2007 that the teen birth rate for the nation as a whole increased for the first time in 15 years in 2006 from 40.5 births per 1,000 women aged 15-19 in 2005 to 41.9 in 2006.
The report also features birth data on a variety of topics, including state-based and national information on teen, unmarried, and multiple births, along with health data on smoking during pregnancy, cesarean delivery, preterm birth, and low birthweight.

The National Center for Health Statistics tracks the number and percentage of births to unmarried women because it is a key social indicator. According to the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics:
Children of unmarried mothers are at higher risk of having adverse birth outcomes, such as low birthweight and infant mortality, and are more likely to live in poverty than children of married mothers.
In 2004, 35.8% of all live births were to unmarried women. Compare and contrast that to 14.3% in 1970.
Numbers of births to unmarried women and their percentage of the universe of live births from 1970 through 2004 is available here.
Two good reports we have produced on the subject are Births to Unmarried Mothers: United States, 1980-92 and Nonmarital Childbearing in the United States, 1940-99.

It's common for people to share their experiences, but I want to caution you on the growing trend of people getting advice online.
The story came from a millennial who was buying a home with her partner. She was freaking out about emptying her savings, how much the home would cost per month, the expense of maintaining the property, and that the home was located in a flood zone.
She spilled her guts online and asked for advice from an online forum of other buyers.
I have no problem with people seeking advice, and I regularly encourage people to seek it.
It's not that you can't ask for opinions from your friends and family. Just don't ask for legal advice from someone who is not an Attorney.
One of her concerns was the way the flood one was disclosed prior to the acceptance of the offer. The buyer felt like the sellers were not being 100% honest in their disclosure and she asked if she could cancel the contract.
I'm not going to attempt to give you legal advice, but instead show you why accepting this answer is not a good idea.
First, there is no indication that these two people know each other, or even where the buyer lives. Real Estate and contract law is mostly dependent upon the laws in your state. What is acceptable in Tennessee is not the same in Florida. So, it's imperative that you ask advice from someone who is licensed and familiar with the law in your area.
Second, every transaction is unique and much of it depends upon the agreements in the contract. Based on the total response to the buyer, it appears that the advisor never read the purchase and sale agreement. A good agreement will define what happens in situations like this and any contingencies the buyer has to cancel the transaction. So, it's impossible to know the right answer without a review of the contract.
Last, what penalties might the buyer face if they don't close on the home. It's possible they could lose their earnest money, face litigation and pay for the seller's attorneys fees if they lose the case. This was not mentioned in the answer.
This is why I think the crowdsourcing trend can be a dangerous one.
If you need legal, financial, or technical questions answered in your pursuit of homeownership, then hit reply and let me refer you to a local expert who understands your unique problem.

Choreography originates from the Greek words "dance" and for "write" (also known as "dance composition"). It is the art of framing relations between bodies in time and space, making structures in which movement occurs. The choreography becomes a manner of seeing the world. A person who creates choreographies is called choreographer.

Michał Goszczyński (ur. 2 stycznia 1921 w Przybojewie, zm. 13 kwietnia 1990 w Warszawie) – kapitan pilot Polskich Sił Powietrznych w Wielkiej Brytanii, kawaler Orderu Virtuti Militari.

Życiorys
Syna Antoniego, urodził się 2 stycznia 1921 w Przybojewie powiat Płońsk. Jako uczeń gimnazjum w Płońsku należał do szkolnego koła modelarskiego, biorąc udział w powiatowych zawodach modeli latających z napędem gumowym. Świadectwo maturalne uzyskał w 1938. W sierpniu tego roku w Ustjanowej ukończył kurs szybowcowy w ramach lotniczego Przysposobienia Wojskowego, uzyskując kat. B pilota szybowcowego.

Po zdaniu egzaminu został przyjęty do Szkoły Podchorążych Lotnictwa w Dęblinie. Z powodu groźby wybuchu wojny odbył przeszkolenie w trybie przyspieszonym na samolotach szkolnych RWD-8 i PWS-26, po czym został zakwalifikowany do dalszego szkolenia na samolotach myśliwskich, otrzymując stopień kaprala podchorążego pilota.

W momencie wybuchu wojny jego szkolna eskadra ewakuowała się na wschód Polski na lotniska zapasowe. Po przekroczeniu 17 września granicy polsko-rumuńskiej został internowany i był przetrzymywany w obozie dla personelu lotnictwa we wsi Sarighiol niedaleko przy granicy z Bułgarią. Polskim komendantem w owym czasie był tam kpt. pilot Janusz Meissner. Już w listopadzie M. Goszczyńskiemu udało się wydostać z obozu i z rumuńskiego portu Balcie odpłynął do Syrii. Stamtąd dotarł do Francji, gdzie w styczniu 1940 dołączył do tworzących właśnie oddziałów lotniczych w Carpinian w pobliżu Marsylii, a następnie dostał się do ośrodka szkoleniowego w Lyonie.

Upadek Francji w czerwcu 1940 zmusił polskie oddziały lotnicze do ewakuacji do Anglii. Tam został skierowany na przeszkolenie do tworzącej polskiej szkoły pilotażu w Hucknall w pobliżu Nottingham, którą ukończył jako prymus w kwietniu 1941 w stopniu starszaego sierżanta podchorążego. Tam został również przeszkolony na samolotach dwusilnikowych. W lipcu 1941 ukończył kurs instruktorski w szkole nr 1 w Upavon. Pracę jako instruktor rozpoczął w polskiej szkole pilotażu w Peterborough, a następnie w Newton szkolił pilotów do marca 1943. W 1941 awansował na stopień podporucznika, a w 1942 – porucznika i stopnia angielskiego kapitana (F/LT – Flight Llieutenant).

W czerwcu 1943 dostał przydział do angielskiego 138. dywizjonu specjalnego, w którego skład wchodził polski klucz. Początkowo latał jako II pilot na bombowcu "Halifax", następnie po przeszkoleniu w charakterze I pilota wykonywał loty bojowe z bazy RAF Tempsford koło Cambridge, dokonując m.in. zrzutów broni i zaopatrzenia dla podziemnych armii okupowanej Europy, również dla Armii Krajowej w Polsce. Wykonał on 6 lotów do Polski, z których każdy trwał 13–14 godzin. W krótkim czasie z polskiego klucza sformowano samodzielną 1586 SD Flight będącą Eskadrą do Zadań Specjalnych i przeniesiono ją do Afryki Północnej na lotnisko Sidi Amor niedaleko Tunisu w Tunezji. Stamtąd m.in. wykonał w grudniu 1943 dwa loty do Polski. Stamtąd wykonał w grudniu 1943 dwa loty do Polski. W tym samym czasie 1586 Eskadrę przeniesiono do Włoch na lotnisko Campo Casale koło Brindisi. Z tej bazy wykonywał na "Halifaxach" loty do okupowanych krajów, m.in. 22 loty bojowe do Polski. W lipcu 1944 po wykonaniu 76 lotów bojowych został przeniesiony do Wielkiej Brytanii na tzw. odpoczynek. Jednak już w październiku tego roku został skierowany w charakterze instruktora do polskiego oddziału 18 OTU Ośrodka Wyszkolenia Bojowego Załóg Bombowych w Finningley pod Doncaster.

W czerwcu 1945 otrzymał przydział do dywizjonu RAF Blackbushe jako instruktor pilot i szkolił na samolotach transportowych "Warwick". Następnie szkolił pilotów 304 Dywizjonu. W lutym 1946 został przydzielony do 301 dywizjonu transportowego, gdzie latał na samolotach "Halifax" VII C. Po rozwiązaniu polskich formacji lotniczych w czerwcu 1947 został w stopniu kapitana. zdemobilizowany. W czasie II wojny światowej wylatał 2300 godzin, z tego 800 godzin w nocy.

Do Polski powrócił w październiku 1947. Od sierpnia 1948 podjął pracę w Departamencie Lotnictwa Cywilnego Ministerstwa Komunikacji i sprawował do 1951 pieczę nad całokształtem szkolenia samolotowego w aeroklubach. 6 września 1948 na lotnisku Okęcie wziął udział w pokazach lotniczych z okazji Święta Lotnictwa z udziałem 9 samolotów Piper Cub Aeroklubu Warszawskiego. Z ramienia Departamentu Lotnictwa Cywilnego MK wykonał 7 maja 1950 lot sprawdzający na motoszybowcu "Pegaz", którego celem było wydanie opinii o przydatności płatowca do szkolenia pilotów szybowcowych kat. C w pilotażu silnikowym metodą samodzielną. W tym samym roku jako pilot oblatywacz odbierał pierwszą serię samolotów CSS-13 i pierwsze samoloty "Żak" z LWD z Łodzi. Był autorem znacznej części instrukcji szkoleniowych oraz instruktorem pilotażu na wielu kursach, m.in. w sierpniu 1949 na kursie akrobacji samolotowej na olsztyńskim lotnisku w Dajtkach, gdzie latano na niemieckich samolotach "Kadet" i "Szczygieł". W 1949 i na początku lat 50. Był komisarzem sportowym ARP oraz instruktorem społecznym w Aeroklubie Warszawskim. 20 sierpnia 1950. w czasie Święta Lotnictwa na Okęciu latał m.in. w literze "O" w utworzonym przez szyk 43 samolotów (CSS i Po-2) napisie "Pokój" literze "Z" lecąc na Samolocie Zlin-26, podczas pokazów lotniczych 20 lipca 1952 na Okęciu prowadząc szyk tworzący litery ZMP.

Z Departamentu Lotnictwa Cywilnego przeniesiony został do Zarządu Głównego Ligi Lotniczej, gdzie zajął stanowisko kierownika wyszkolenia lotniczego. W 1953, po połączeniu Ligi Lotniczej z Ligą Przyjaciół Żołnierza, został w pionie lotniczym kierownikiem wyszkolenia samolotowego, pracując tam do 1954. W sierpniu tego roku podjął pracę w Wydawnictwach Komunikacyjnych jako redaktor książek lotniczych i samochodowych. Jest współautorem kilkunastu książek o tematyce samochodowej. Niezależnie od pracy w wydawnictwie zajmował się działalnością społeczną w lotnictwie sportowym. Od lutego 1958 do kwietnia 1960 pełnił funkcję wiceprezesa Zarządu Głównego Aeroklubu PRL. W 1959 został Członkiem Honorowym Aeroklubu Warszawskiego. W 1986 został uhonorowany Dyplomem Międzynarodowej Federacji Lotniczej imienia Paula Tissandiera.

Michał Goszczyński na 30 typach samolotów wylatał ogółem 2700 godzin, w tym na szybowcach i motoszybowcach 30 godzin. Wykonał 3 skoki spadochronowe. Zmarł 13 kwietnia 1990 w Warszawie. Pochowany został w Falenicy pod Warszawą.
