Titanic First Officer's second cousin's deaf grandson

The White Star Line departed from U.K. to New York City on April 1912. First Officer William McMaster Murdoch worked on the White Star Line ship, was under the captain of the ship.

My grandfather's second cousin who was William Murdoch was a hero and not a coward. My grandfather's deaf grandson is Daniel Murdoch.

I searched the Murdoch family tree, found that my great, great, great grandfather, Samuel Lowdon Murdoch, got married a wife, Jane Young. Jane's parents were John Young and Ann Lowden. Ann come from a family of ship owner's. Ann 's brother was a Father of US Navy.

I snapped some photos of William McMaster Murdoch, First Office of Silver Star Cruiser (Titanic tragedy), Greenland and Banffin Island, Nunvat, Canada on October 2007.

Please any comments, thank.

First, a firewire 400 (IEEE 1394) has 6 pins, 400 mb per sec flow the connector cable.

Second, an enhancements (IEEE 1394a) has 4 pins, 400 mb per sec flow the connector cable.

Re: Raychelle, Gary Malkowski wants to share with you.

This evening late I received a message from Gary Malkowski, he wants to be posting my vlog. So I would like to share you, Raychelle to see his vlog. Copied and pasted his message. Please read below:

Raychelle

Thank you for sharing this important humanistic view. In reality, look closely at situations in Denmark, Canada, and other countries will follow in attempt to downsize and eliminate sign language regardless of Deaf children with or without cochlear implants.

In sad fact, some powerful medical organizations, AVT therapists and some organizations such as AGB, promoting to support the Auditory Verbal Therapy that disallows Deaf children to learn and use ASL and they are responsible to ignore very real factual research studies show that all children, including deaf, deafened, hard of hearing and even hearing children benefit greatly from exposure to ASL and learning ASL.

Downsizing and attempting to eliminate sign language or any attempts to prevent Deaf children with or without cochlear implants are clearly in violation with human rights and those people and professionals, who are responsible to downsize and/or attempt to eliminate sign language that put Deaf children's langauge and mental health at real risk, will be brought to trial and face justice in somedays. Please visit to see my key message at www.slr-canada.net

No matter how hard we continue to educate these people and society about the benefits of sign language and unfortunately, they will still continue to ignore this real fact is that sign language has proven to benefit all children, including deaf, deafened, hard of hearing, hearing and children with disabilities.

Only answer is to bring these people who are in attempt to downsize or eliminate sign language that put these deaf children's langauge and mental health at risk must be brought to justice and Deaf children with cochlear implants or without cochlear implants are entitled to their rights to learn sign language and let them decide to use signed or spoken langauge or both that must be respected. Sign language rights must be respected and protected in every country across International.

You may post my comments at your vlog/blog.

Again, thank you for sharing your view.

Snapped Photo of a New Spiece of Insect

My eyes felt conspicuous, a insect was on right side of a screen of the theatre wide HDTV while I was doing on my computer. My eyes got to close tv to see it on tv and it seem it is strange. I took my digital camera to snap 20-25 photos of the insect.

Then the CF memory card send a download of photos to my personal computer. I observsed photos whole that are not good, but expect one is pretty good picture.

When I zoomed up it, my eyes were opened-wide and my mouth was awesome to see the insect that has bizarre wings with some feathers.

Do you know what called the insect name?

Look my photo of bizarre insect after my vlog finish.
