This Bonus episode was first published as a "Guilt Trip" episode on Patreon on 7th April 2019. Dolores McCrea married the man that she had met and fallen for while in Secondary School in Donegal. But her husband, Gary, was a controlling man and became abusive. Soon the violence became too much for Dolores and she left Gary, bringing along their four daughters. But often the time after a person leaves their abuser is the most dangerous. And this was the case for Dolores. Gary McCrea had plans for Dolores once she left him which would lead him to standing in the dock in the Four Courts just over a year later. Music:Kevin McLeod, Quinns Song : The Dance Begins.

En enero de 2004, Dolores McCrea, madre de cuatro hijas, desapareció en Balintra, en el condado de Donegal. La búsqueda policial condujo hasta la casa de Gary McCrea, el marido de Dolores
George Stevens demuestra su saber hacer en esta deliciosa comedia, con un ritmo más pausado que el de Hawks o Capra, La chica soltera vive sola en tiempos de guerra, la segunda guerra mundial amenaza el mundo al otro lado del océano, y Connie -Jean Arthur- ofrece su piso en tiempo de escasez de viviendas en las ciudades norteamericanas. Tiempos de zozobra en los que todos deben arrimar el hombro y salir adelante. Y allí llega el señor Dingle, un sensacional Charles Coburn, y adopta su frase favorita del almirante Farragut, héroe de otra guerra, la de secesión: “¡Malditos torpedos! ¡Avanzad a toda velocidad!” Curiosamente el propio Frankin D Roosevelt apelaría a esa frase en discursos arengando a los oficiales de la marina tras el ataque a Pearl Harbour. En esta encantadora comedia todos los instrumentos están perfectamente afinados. La narración bien hilada, McCrea, Arthur y Coburn se mueven como peces en el agua en ese apartamento que conocemos desde que la metódica mujer entregue al nuevo inquilino un horario imposible de cumplir. Tetlaff filma los devaneos y los desencuentros, los planos frontales en los ventanas con cada habitante del apartamento en su habitación. O el travelling memorable del paseo nocturno de la pareja , Joe manosea a Connie sin freno y a ella parece no importarle, la intimidad entre Jean Arthur y Joel McCrea traspasa la pantalla, y el prometido del tupé falso se queda esperando en el salón de baile. Todo gracias al casamentero señor Dingle, no tiene prisa y se ríe de casi todo, sabe que una mujer joven que escribe un diario pertenece al grupo de personas que tienen suficiente tiempo para hacerlo, y claro está, la vida es mejor vivirla que escribirla. Esta noche cantamos la canción de los torpedos con el señor Dingle… Salvador Limón, Zacarías Cotán y Raúl Gallego.

Our minisodes are a break from true crime and for this one gather around the campfire! We are joined by special guest and Michelle's dad, John Bedford Jeanis, to discuss the secret but yes, well-documented, family legend of their ancestor, Jean Jeanis, who is believed by the folks of Pointe Noire to shift into a 'mangy dog' at will otherwise known as the Chien de Lune or the Rougarou. Naturally, we also touched upon the feu follet, haunted cemeteries, the lost art of the boucherie, pirates, finding foots in odd places, and John's experience at the ill-fated Louisiana Woodstock of 71' in McCrea, Louisiana. Also in the midst is Michelle's origin story to becoming our country's lead expert in missing persons' cases, which may or may not have started with young Michelle hiding from her family in clothing racks at the mall... It's a rare privilege and point of pride to speak with our families and to inherit their stories of working from sunup to sundown or their memories of freshly baked cornbread on hot summer days and of course there's always a werewolf story or two if you're lucky.

On today's episode, we welcome back Jeremy McCrea, Director of Equity Research at Raymond James Ltd. We delve into the profitability and future prospects of the oil and gas industry. Here are THREE key takeaways for you:Technology is revolutionizing well results: By identifying companies implementing new technology and fracking designs, investors can leverage better well results and potential valuation growth. Tracking the rate of change, monitoring fracking adjustments, and following up with additional wells can lead to consistent multiple expansions for forward-thinking companies.Transition away from fossil fuels is slower than expected: While forecasts often predict a rapid decline in oil demand, the reality is proving different. The retirement of coal plants has been delayed, electric vehicle uptake is gradual, and wealthy countries continue to have higher energy demands due to air travel and larger homes. Acceptance is growing that transitioning away from fossil fuels will be a steady journey. Refinery margins are on the rise: Refinery complexes are lacking, leading to increased import costs for diesel fuel. As a result, refinery margins, especially in diesel fuel prices, have significantly increased, surpassing gasoline prices. This development presents unique opportunities for investors to tap into the shifting dynamics of the energy market. The oil and gas industry is evolving, presenting challenges and untapped potential. As we explore these fascinating insights, it becomes clear that there's optimism in the sector with improved balance sheets and better economics of plays.This episode is sponsored by clearmotive marketing.
