WHAT are the intentions and the goals of the Vatican in this tragic yet challenging moment when the end of the war in Europe is near and a new world is emerging from the ruins of the old? The question is being widely discussed. This paper is an attempt to describe the position of the Vatican in Europe in terms that are as close to reality as possible, and to suggest some of the problems which the Church faces. The author uses the facts and the Vatican documents which can be verified by all, and interprets them in the light of his own experience and his knowledge. The analysis is a personal contribution in no way authorized.
The problem which the question poses is complex. One cannot place in any single category the relationships between the Holy See and the various states of the world or the attitudes which can be taken by the hierarchy of each country. Nor can one thus simplify either the attitude of the ecclesiastical hierarchy as such or the positions which Catholics acting under their own responsibility think it right and necessary to take, individually or in groups. Within the Catholic Church there is a margin of freedom, large or small according to circumstances which, moving from purely religious forms to social and temporal activities, quite often permits the emergence of truly autonomous movements, especially in politics.
An example taken from actual recent events may illustrate this point to those who, being outside the discipline of the Church, believe or surmise that the Church is a kind of militant army in which only the will of the supreme head prevails. In his speech of September 1, 1944, Pope Pius XII reasserted two points of Catholic doctrine: that private property is in the sphere of natural law, and hence cannot be abolished; and that the social duties which flow from the very nature of property transcend the private good and must aim at the common good.

How to Keep Pest Animals From Sheds, Barns and Storage AreasWednesday, May 8th, 2013
If you have a shed, barn or even an open storage area, and you happen to live anywhere but the inner city, you'll have critters trying to sneak in. These critters can include bats, squirrels, rabbits, coyotes, skunks, raccoons, even deer and bears. If you store any kind of food in these structures, these critters will make a beeline for them to seek not only food but shelter.
Chances are, you've encountered this problem before and probably thrown up your hands in frustration. For you've tried traps and poisons and all manner of homegrown critter deterrents—all with minimally effective results. You've even tried mothballs and animal urine—no help. You're just about ready to whip out your shotgun, but unless you live "in the sticks," there are legal and safety concerns in going that route.
But the fact remains, you've got to find some way to get rid of animals. As you've undoubtedly experienced, critters can create a lot of headaches in time and money. They can eat virtually anything you've stored inside or outside–grain, crops, feed, the list goes on and on. Critters can also chew up the electrical wiring inside barns and sheds. Some, like raccoons and opossums, can chew into a roof faster than you can say holy critter! And they sure can leave a smelly mess if they've been there awhile or if they died there.
Fortunately, there is a humane, inexpensive animal deterrent that will keep critters away from your shed, barn or even an open storage area. It's called the Bird-B-Gone Sonic Shield™. And critters don't like it.
Light and Sound Deters Any Critter Around
The Bird-B-Gone Sonic Shield™ has been proven effective to keep a wide range of bats and four–legged critters away from your property. It uses a motion sensor that springs to life the second a critter crosses its area of protection. Once activated, a dog barking and flashing LED light scare critters away.
Works Day or Night to Give Critters a Fright
The Sonic Shield™ has both a daytime and nighttime mode of operation. For the daytime mode, flashing LED lights and loud barking dog sounds work in unison to frighten all types of critters from your property. In the nighttime mode, just the flashing LED lights come on—perfect for neighborhoods where night noises would wake up the neighbors. Either way, the Sonic Shield™ is a very cost-effective way to get rid of bats and four-legged critters. And it sure beats those ultrasonic deterrents, which emit sounds most critters can't hear.
The Set-and-Forget Animal Deterrent
The Sonic Shield™ is self-contained, portable and goes wherever critters creep. It runs on four standard AA batteries. So you can position it practically in the path of suspected critter entry points. There's no need for AC connections. And you won't need to resort to such deterrents as shotguns, traps, smelly mothballs or urine.

I normally write my recap posts on Thursdays, so they're all set for Friday morning, but it just didn't happen yesterday. But, I've got my Netflix in the background for noise, my hot chocolate is right here next to me, and I'm feeling calm, so I'm ready to go.
I woke up last Friday feeling extremely anxious. I stayed in bed for a while before getting showered and ready for the day, and then I stopped at the pharmacy. It was nasty and snowy out, so I made it quick! My heart was racing all morning, and my breathing was rapid, but I focused on deep breathing and a calming mood, so I didn't have any attacks. Deep breathing is a serious game-changer when it comes to panic/anxiety attacks.
By afternoon, the anxiety faded and I stayed focused entirely on my work until later in the evening. I managed to get a ton of work done in a short amount of time. I spent the latter part of the evening with Will and then I slept like a baby that night. I will mention that I didn't do an act of self-love on Friday.
Saturday ended up being a really rough day at work. It's one of my biggest triggers of anxiety right now, but tomorrow is my last day at this location, so hopefully, I'll see a significant change in my anxiety soon. I had an attack start creeping up on me shortly before I left work when I just felt so unsure and overwhelmed, but I immediately started my deep breaths, and it disappeared. Whenever I get an attack under control before it even starts, I feel so powerful. It's a really awesome feeling since anxiety can make you feel so powerless the majority of the time.
Even though it was a rough day mentally, I still managed to come home and get a lot of work done again. That was a huge accomplishment for me because typically I'd come home, shut down, and fall asleep, but I kept myself focused.
Saturday was my second day in a row without an act of self-love, and I know it made things more difficult for me. My Self-Love Challenge really makes a difference!
I had a restless night, and I woke up really sore on Sunday morning, but I was determined to get a lot of work done and focus on a lot of self-care.
I had a Simple Truth Organic vanilla bean yogurt mixed with chocolate flavored protein powder and granola. After that, I went to the gym with my mom and hopped on the treadmill for an hour. I did feel really good to go back! After the gym, we stopped for breakfast. We had a really good time and productive talk. It was nice to finally catch up and open back up to my mom again. Since my anxiety and depression have been taking over so bad lately, I've really shut down, so Sunday was a game-changer.
After breakfast, I came home and showered off from the gym and then had to run to the pet store. I got a fish tank back in October (I was bored) and I finally just started to grow allgae, so I bought a tiny little algae eater to add in. I really tried to get work done in the afternoon, but there was just so much happening around the house that it made it impossible to focus and put myself in the zone to knock some things off of my list.
I felt an anxiety attack coming on around 11 o'clock Sunday night, but I got it under control on my own, but I still barely slept at all.
On Monday I had to work, and I was really nervous and anxious. I was about to put my two-week notice in at work, and because things have been so bad, I was freaked out by the repercussions. Even management has been unprofessional and spiteful, so my anxiety just wasn't good. In fact, it still isn't doing well, but hopefully, things are going to turn out for the best.
I was really looking forward to getting out of work that day. I went home to shower and get ready to head out to dinner with a couple friends. I love catching up with these two! We sat in the restaurant chatting for a few hours, and then once I got home, I headed straight to bed. I was exhausted, and I slept so well that night.
Tuesday was another morning waking up with anxiety. I immediately started with deep breathing, and I text Krystal about how I was feeling. It was so helpful. Having someone in my life who really understands exactly how I'm feeling, even when it's irrational, is so incredible.
I had bouts of anxiety throughout the day, but nothing terrible, so it was a pretty easy day. I came home from work, ate, showered, worked, and then relaxed before bed. I was exhausted, but I still barely managed to sleep.
I've been thinking about a ton of tips I've heard of for better sleep, so I want to put a list together and start giving them a try as a part of a new evening routine for self-care. Once I get something set in stone that really works, I'll put a post together and share.
I actually ended up having a really good day at work on Wednesday. I was a little anxious about it, but it went fine.
After work, I headed home to get showered and ready for the night. I went out to dinner with Krystal for a couple hours, and that is ALWAYS a good time. We had some good food, margaritas, and a lot of laughs. Once we were done, we headed back to work to wait for Will to finish up so that he and I could spend some time together after.
Part of me likes working with my boyfriend and best friend because of the obvious convenience factor, but the majority of me hates it. I haven't been able to rely enough on myself with having them both so close all the time. I need that distance and that separation in order to grow as an individual. I know that I'm in a really toxic environment right now and even though change is scary, it's necessary.
Will and I had a really relaxing time together once he got out of work. We really haven't been able to spend much time together over the past couple of weeks, so it was nice. I didn't get home until after 1 AM and passed right out. I slept like a baby!
As you probably know, Thursdays are my favorite day! I woke up and laid in bed for a little while writing my to-do list for the day on my phone, checking social media notifications, and responding to messages.
After that was done, I got up and let the dogs out, made hot chocolate, lit my sweet pea candle, and got to work. My big priority was writing yesterday's Grammarly post! I can't believe how many excellent opportunities I've received in the past week, and Grammarly was one of the biggest ones. I absolutely LOVE this program, and I was so excited to share it with my readers.
Later, in the early afternoon, I had some mid-day me time; a hot bubble bath, a good book, and of course, my candle! I kept that baby lit all day long. There is something so soothing about candles. And, I'm really working on getting this book done before the end of the month. I want to start incorporating a monthly book review onto the blog.
After my bath, I made mango ginger tea with half a lemon squeezed in there. It was so flavorful! This is a perfect substitute for when I have a craving for pop. Lemons are a miracle worker. I sipped my tea while I got back to work. I needed to take a shower but had to wait for the water to heat back up after my bath.
While I was working and waiting, I used my avocado & oatmeal purifying clay mask. Face masks are one of my favorite things now! This one had a fun tingle to it. Shortly after my shower, I had a nasty headache set in, and I suddenly got super tired, so I crawled into bed and ended up passing out for the night!
I know that the next week or two is going to be tough. I'm going to have some changes happening, but it's all for the best!
Questions For You:
Do you use anything for background noise while you work on your to-do list?
Do you have any tips for better sleep?
What's your favorite face mask to use?

Atlanta Hawks : Will This Be their Best Season Ever ?
The Atlanta Hawks started out the 2014-15 season looking like a typical Hawks team, losing 3 of their first 4 games & 6 of their first 13. Since then Atlanta's record has been a remarkable 34-3 & they recently had the longest win streak of any team this season snapped (19 games), losing @ New Orleans 115-100 on Feb. 2nd. they are currently leading the East Conference with a record of 41-9 overall & enjoying an 8 game lead on closest contender Toronto. If 100% of all NBA fans were ask to name the starting 5 for Atlanta, 75 to 80% would NOT be able to, in fact many might not be able to name even one. One nice achievement for these no names however is the fact that ALL five of the Hawks starters were named players of the month for January. The Hawks starting five consist's of PG Jeff Teague, SG Kyle Korver, PF Paul Milsap, SF Kent Bazemore & C Al Horford. Can this young Hawks team keep up the pace, win the East & run the table in Part 2 of the NBA's season known as The Playoffs ?
This Is Whats On My Sports Mind About this subject.
Part 1 of the NBA season as everyone knows is just a prelude to what many now consider the REAL NBA season which of course is the playoffs. Even thou over recent years is has become more & more evident that teams DO NOT give 100% many times thru out the LONG & tiring regular season & even with that in mind history still proves @ least in the NBA if a team has any hopes of winning IT ALL, it's not just about making the NBA playoffs, but MOST IMPORTANTLY how high you are seeded. Remarkably over the last 13 years it's held true that ALL playoff teams that have been seeded #5 & lower, need not apply for a trip to the NBA finals, because over that span the ONLY teams that have made it to the finals have been the 1-4 seeds. The #4 seed has only made the finals twice winning 0 titles & the #3 seed has made it 4-times, winning 1-NBA title during that period. So over the last 13 yrs. the #1 & 2 seeds have squared off 7-times for the NBA title & unless something changes the best that teams who are seeded #5 & lower can realistically hope to finish is no better than #5, so maybe the 5-8 seeds should play in a consolation playoff for the title Team Most Likely To Become A 4th Seed Next Season…. Teams these days however, ARE beginning to wait until just before the playoffs begin before they really start kicking it into SKY gear. SO perhaps w/ teams taking the regular season less serious these days, maybe in the future we will begin to see some of the lower seeds begin to start advancing further into the post season since some of those lower seeded teams could actually be powerhouses in disguise. But if the last 13 years can still be used as any kind of indicator & the season should end today you could almost be guaranteed it would be Atlanta facing Toronto for the Eastern Conference title, Golden St. & Memphis squaring off in the Western finals. As far as Atlanta & Toronto, I would @ this moment, overwhelmingly pick Atlanta to win the east, even though Toronto won both meetings between the two teams early in the season, the Hawks did beat the Raptors in their last meeting 110 to 89 on Jan. 16th. Atlanta has also beaten Memphis in their only meeting thus far this year 96 to 86 in Atlanta. The Hawks play Golden St. for the first time this season in Atlanta tonight @7:30 PM. With all that said, I think this WILL end up being Atlanta's BEST season EVER & if I must pick a team to win it all this year I would put the Hawks as one of 2-teams that have the best chance to win it ALL, with my only reserve on Atlanta being that the 5-starters for Atlanta ARE virtually unknown & unproven & How they handle the post season pressure remains to be seen, but for now they have to be considered THE TEAM TO BEAT.

InSCI is the first national-level, health condition-specific survey, entirely structured and linked to the ICF and implemented across a variety of countries.
InSCI is an international community survey, initiated by Swiss Paraplegic Research in Switzerland. The survey was conducted in 2017 and 2018 in 22 countries, across 6 regions of the World Health Organization (WHO). The survey is grounded in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), both in terms of the dimensions of the experience of SCI and in terms of the underlying conceptualization of functioning.
The overall objective of InSCI is to identify the factors that explain functioning and well-being of people living with SCI in the context of health, health-related, and other social and political systems, policies, services, and care provision. The survey will provide comprehensive and comparable information about the lived experience of disability.
Next to the international module, the survey contains so called "national modules", specified for each participating country. They are focused more in detail for example in employment, the level of social integration and acceptance, and social participation like sports activities.
A follow-up survey is proposed for 2022.

Consumer confidence crumbled this month in the face of political uncertainties, a National Central University survey found yesterday. The consumer confidence index dropped 4.18 points to 79.52 points, its lowest since October, the poll said.
"Consumers appear more pessimistic and conservative about the economic outlook over the next six months, displaying their worries about political and economic instabilities," said Chu Yun-peng (
The center conducted the poll of 1,252 people aged above 20 from Wednesday last week to Sunday, a period which included the assassination attempt on President Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) on Friday and the presidential election the following day. The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
The index gauges the public's expectations on stock performance, household finances, durable goods, job opportunities, consumer price fluctuations and the economic outlook for the next six months.
Of the poll's six categories, the index for stock investments saw the biggest slide, declining by 23.4 points to 66.1 points. Chu said that 51.9 percent of the respondents said they would stay away from the stock market in the near future, an increase of 5.7 percent from the previous month.
The TAIEX closed down 24.11 points at 6,132.62 yesterday. For the week, the benchmark index has dropped 10.1 percent since the election.
"I have suffered a book loss of around NT$170,000 in stocks since the election," said Steven Huang (黃軍儒), a 27-year-old financial professional at a local brokerage house. "But I believe the gloomy conditions will not last long, because the nation's economic fundamentals are still sound."
The nation's leading indicators, a gauge of economic activity, rose 0.7 percent to 107.6 points last month, the Council for Economic Planning and Development (CEPD) said separately yesterday.
Job opportunities remained a concern, as the employment part of the consumer confidence index fell 0.25 points to 59.7 from the previous month, the lowest figure in the six categories, another economist said yesterday.
Although public confidence in employment has not fallen, "I'm afraid that when the implementation of the government's job-creation scheme is due, there might be a new wave of unemployment," Day Jaw-yang (
The jobless rate rose 0.08 percentage points to 4.61 percent last month, with around 468,000 people out of work, the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics reported earlier this week.

Beast of the Night: Kyle Lowry lit up the Lakers for 22 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, two steals and four three-pointers. He shot 42 percent (8-19) from the field, 100 percent from the free-throw line (2-2) and turned the ball over twice. Believe it or not, Lowry is putting up top three overall averages so far this NBA season.
Lines for Discussion:
D.J. Augustin: 10-18 FG (56%), 2-2 FT (100%), 4 threes, 26 Pts, 4 Reb, 9 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk, 4 TO; Despite the presence of Kemba Walker, Augustin is actually putting up better all-around averages so far than he did last season. Continue to start him, but expect the occasional clunker.
Boris Diaw: 0-5 FG (0%), 5 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Blk; He dealt with foul trouble last night, but his last two lines are disconcerting. His blazing start was unsustainable, so Diaw is probably just finding his proper altitude. His owners just have to be patient.
Kyrie Irving: 8-10 FG (80%), 2-2 FT (100%), 2 threes, 20 Pts, 3 Reb, 6 Ast, 2 Blk; Not bad for 21:36 of work. Irving is averaging 14.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 0.8 steals, a block and 1.2 threes through the first five games of his NBA career.
Josh Smith: 6-13 FG (46%), 3-6 FT (50%), 15 Pts, 14 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Stl, 2 Blk, 3 TO; This was Smith's best line of the season, which isn't saying much. All his numbers are down from last season, but he'll bounce back eventually.
James Harden: 7-13 FG (54%), 6-6 FT (100%), 3 threes, 23 Pts, 4 Reb, 6 Ast, 3 Stl, 3 TO; He started last night due to Thabo Sefolosha's absence and responded accordingly. Fantasy owners are probably hopeful Sefolosha remains bedridden.
Wesley Matthews: 7-12 FG (58%), 2-3 FT (67%), 16 Pts, 6 Reb, 2 Ast, 4 Stl, 1 Blk, 3 TO; So far, Matthews has squashed whatever fears owners had about Jamal Crawford's arrival. Matthews is just about matching his production from last season.
Kobe Bryant: 14-29 FG (48%), 7-9 FT (78%), 2 threes, 37 Pts, 8 Reb, 6 Ast, 1 Blk, 2 TO; Black Mamba's averaging 22.3 shot attempts per game, the most since 2006-07. The problem is that he's hitting just 41.7 percent of those attempts. Nevertheless, Kobe's putting up around 26/6/6 along with a steal and a three per game, which owners can't complain about. We'll have to see how well his wrist and body hold up down the stretch of the season.
Andrew Bynum: 8-15 FG (53%), 5-8 FT (63%), 21 Pts, 22 Reb, 3 Blk, 4 TO; If you reluctantly own Bynum and are worried about his knees, sell high on him now.
Waiver-Wire Watch:
D.J. White: 10 Pts, 7 Reb, 2 Ast; His days as a starter are likely numbered, as Tyrus Thomas nears his return. But whenever Thomas misses time, White could be worth a look.
Byron Mullens: 14 Pts, 4 Reb, 2 Ast, 2 Blk, 2 TO; Don't read too much into this one.
Tristan Thompson: 16 Pts, 9 Reb, 1 Ast, 2 Blk; As expected, Thompson is already a nice source of blocks (1.8 per game) to have on your bench.
Isaiah Thomas: 15 Pts, 2 threes, 5 Reb, 3 Ast, 1 Stl, 2 TO; Unless things drastically change in Sacramento, this one's just a fluke.
Sam Young: 20 Pts, 7 Reb, 1 Ast, 3 Stl, 1 TO; Young will benefit for however long Zach Randolph is out.
Omer Asik: 2 Pts, 9 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Stl, 3 Blk, 3 TO; Asik is only worth owning in deep leagues at this point.
Drew Gooden: 24 Pts, 12 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Blk, 2 TO; Andrew Bogut was out, so don't get too amped about a Gooden comeback.
Steve Blake: 11 Pts, 2 threes, 2 Reb, 3 Ast; Blake is doing just enough to deserve a look if you need some depth at PG along with some threes.
Jermaine O'Neal (hamstring): should return tonight
Richard Hamilton (groin): day-to-day
David Lee (illness): should be ready for tonight, but monitor his status
Chauncey Billups (groin): expected to start tonight
Zach Randolph (knee): MRI didn't reveal anything serious; day-to-day
Andrew Bogut (personal): timetable for return uncertain
Beno Udrih (shoulder): day-to-day
Mike Dunleavy (illness): day-to-day
Amar'e Stoudemire (ankle): expected to play tonight
Thabo Sefolosha (illness): day-to-day
Devin Harris (calf): left last night's game early and didn't return; monitor his status
Nene (foot): monitor his status for tonight
Courtney Lee (calf): day-to-day
Josh Howard (quad): left last night's game early and didn't return; monitor his status
For Tonight:
See if Greg Stiemsma and MarShon Brooks can continue to put up nice lines, as the Celtics host the miserable Nets.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday inaugurated a three-member committee to audit all the assets recovered by relevant government agencies.
The three-member committee was sworn in by Mr. Buhari inside the conference room in the office of the wife of the president at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The president directed the committee, which has Olufemi Lijadu, Gloria Bibigha and Mohammed Nami as members, to audit all recoveries from the beginning of this administration until April 10, 2017.
They have been given four weeks to submit their report.
The president said he had earlier asked all government agencies to submit detailed reports of all recoveries up to March 2017 to his office.
He said the committee will audit all accounts in which the recovered assets where lodged to ensure reports submitted to him were accurate.
It was gathered that some of the ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) that have announced recovered loot include the anti-graft EFCC, the Attorney General's office and the Ministry of Finance.
President Buhari also directed all MDAs, banks and companies to cooperate with the committee, adding that the gains of the anti-corruption campaign of his administration were enormous.
The President further warned that his administration would not allow diversion of funds. Buhari also said that he ensure that the recovered funds be deposited in designated accounts and be managed transparently.

"Paperwhites" refers to a type of narcissus, usually of the Tazetta group, native to the Mediterranean. They are hardy only in warm winter climates, but are popular for indoor culture. The distinctive odor, which some find unpleasant, is due to a biochemical called indole.
Musky Fragrance
The scent of indole has been characterized as "musky," though some say its concentrated odor in paperwhite flowers smells like dirty socks or even cat urine. Indole is also present in the fragrance of jasmine, orange flowers and gardenias, plants renowned for their pleasant fragrances.
Other Indole Incidences
In addition to being a constituent of some flower oils, indole is present in coal tar and animal fecal matter. Indole-3-carbinol, an indole configuration found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, also has antic-cancer properties and may be responsible for the strong taste and smell of the vegetables.
The most common paperwhite maintained indoors is the Israeli variety, Ziva. Other Israeli varieties, such as Galilee, are also on the market and may share Ziva's high level of indole.

I promised four posts, all with extensive book lists, and here's my second, "Nonfiction I Have Actually Read."
I am married to a reader...no surprise. But, Bob Swisher reads nonfiction. In our 52 years together, I remember him reading two novels: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and Killing Mr. Watson. Neither of those made MY list of novels to read during trying times.
He mocks my fiction-reading habits, and I was happy to report to him in the past few years my nonfiction reading equaled my fiction. But, I still prefer stories, so many of the nonfiction books I enjoy are narrative nonfiction: memoir, biography, and just plain-old stories. Creative nonfiction feeds my soul.
Other than narrative, I DO read education policy books. I'm excited to say, I now read the books of friends -- social media friends. Pretty cool to be only that degree separated from authors.
Of the four lists I will share, this is my shortest...a lifetime of reading novels means I have not caught up.
The nonfiction I share now are all books I have read. I have learned, I have enjoyed. Every one of them has left me a better, smarter, person.
My next two blog posts will be the books my very well-read friends suggested for our bibliotherapy through tough times.
How many of these have you read? What would you tell someone about them?

After Hillary Clinton spoke last night at a New School benefit at the Mandarin Oriental honoring the developer John Tishman, I asked her what she thought was going to change now that the Democrats are in the majority.
Here's what she said:
"Everyone is hopeful and enthusiastic, we have an agenda which we laid out in the campaign. A lot of what we are going to be able to do will depend upon whether, you know, Republicans are willing to work wherever they possibly can together with us, and whether the White House is."

I've seen so many recipes for overnight oats in the last two weeks that it makes me wonder if Quaker and Bob's Red Mill have hired the mob to ensure daily posts. This luckily is a comfortable, nutritious bandwagon to leap on to and it makes breakfast a little easier too.
The version I made entails adding milk and oats (1:1) to an almost empty jar of peanut butter. I then added in cinnamon, nutmeg and honey to taste and refrigerated overnight. If you have fresh food on hand, it's highly recommend. The result the next morning was a creamy batch of hydrated oats infused with all the aforementioned flavors. No cook time at all! From the Lemon Bowl here is a peanut butter overnight oats recipe. And here is a very impressive list of overnight oatmeal variations from KathEats.

Hi dear folks,
It has been a silent year from this blog, I know. That's partly due to busyness and also to health problems and trying to keep priorities in order. But I'm due to share some major blessings/news.
In February a year ago I started to have a sharp pain in my neck and shoulders. Throughout the last year the ache became chronic. Especially in working at a computer, driving or marking/correcting student work. An MRI showed a bone spur in my neck. Physiotherapy helped for a time, but didn't really find relief and struggled through all last year, and even now have significant pain and discomfort in my back and neck. I did slow down in my endeavours and projects, but the pain didn't really lessen. I was fatigued and constantly sore. As the year progressed, it would vary, but still struggled with a lot of symptoms, with very little relief. More on the physical struggles in a bit.
Many of you know that a Godly young man from Canberra, Steven Messenger, and I have been courting from May last year. We began by looking to the Lord for guidance and wisdom as to whether we should marry. Throughout the following months we grew closer together in finding out more about each other and seeing the Lord working to bring us together more. Steven was away for 5 weeks in August and September visiting the USA and Canada where he was able to meet my sister and parents. That trip also helped us get to know each other better.
With much prayer and discussion on timing for engagement/wedding we tried to account for my teaching commitment that was to continue to the end of 2014. There is a three hour distance from where he lives to Sydney. We had set a wedding time before he proposed. 🙂 I know it's a bit funny in timing but it was okay for us.
We picked out a ring and two weeks later Steven asked me to go with him to pick it up. On Saturday, the 9th of November Steven had a scheduled practice flight. He is working towards getting his private pilot's license. When Steven was finished with his flight he let me know, and I drove out to meet him at the airport. Steven was holding the purple box when he opened my door for me. And we went over to a table under a gum tree.
As we approached the tree, he teasingly asked me if he had to get down on one knee, I said "yes of course". Then suddenly he was on his knee and saying some very special words. He said "I love you. I don't want to spend the rest of my life without you. Will you marry me?" It took my breath away, but I managed to say yes. I also managed not to cry even though I'd sort of been in tears on my way out to meet him. I had been asking the Lord to bless our relationship and that we'd be putting the Lord first, even though we find it easy to focus on each other more sometimes rather than on the Lord. That was the first time he had said "I love you" even though he had showed love to me in so many ways before. Then he put the ring on my finger.
We let our families know first, then our churches and friends. We didn't put it on facebook for a week or so.
The next few weeks were preliminary planning. We set times for trying to get things decided, and prepared to travel to the US for Christmas. As the school year came to a close, I was getting dizzy and fatigued more with more headaches and pain in my shoulders, neck and back, but hoped that it would go away with a bit of a break. While we were in the States, we did some wedding planning and set a date for January 2015. Steven went back to Australia while I stayed with my parents a bit longer, then travelled to visit my sister in Western Canada.
I got back to Australia in time to finish some details for beginning a new school year and grateful to see Steven again. I was exhausted from the travel and the busyness of everything. My shoulder pain had reached a chronic state, and I was to go to a chiropractor in early February.
I taught six days of school with a fuzzy feeling in my head, constant aching neck and shoulders and fatigue. The chiropractor recommended a change of pace, so did my doctor. I had reached a point where even with limiting much of my activities, I couldn't keep teaching. I was given the diagnosis of fibromyalgia like symptoms, and was told, "go rest". I got two weeks sick leave, and I didn't do a thing for two weeks. Steven's parents took me into their home and took care of me. We logged diet and activities, and had a rheumatologist appointment. After several weeks of medical appointments and consultations, and five medical practitioners telling me that a change of pace/lifestyle was necessary, we came to a decision that I needed to stop teaching. That was a hard decision since I love my students, and didn't want to let the school down, feeling like I hadn't really even done anything for the school year.
February was a very hard month for us. Suddenly what was our plan for the year was changed. I had to admit defeat in regards to "not meeting expectations". Steven had to point out to me that God's plan is better than ours. So, we've rescheduled the year to the best of our ability. With no longer teaching, my visa was not going to remain active. I had to leave Australia in late April, and will not return until we're married in August and can go back to Australia and apply for a spouse visa. We've got most of the basic/major wedding things planned. We still need to finalize several things though. It's a nice feeling every time we can check things off our list.
So the long and short of this post is to say thank you for those who have been praying for us, please keep doing so. We appreciate it, and need prayers. There is much to do on top of our normal responsibilities. I'm thankful for many things, and those include my salvation, family, and then Steven's part in my life this year. We've had a very fun and memorable courtship. We have challenges with distance and now time difference. We miss each other while we're apart for the next three months. We still try to talk in my morning time before he goes to bed, and his morning (my afternoon) and my evening before I go to bed on his lunch break. We've also had to learn each others struggles, weaknesses and strengths. The blessing, is we're already learning how to help each other in meeting needs and complementing the others skills. The Lord provides wonderfully and his timing is perfect.
Please praise God with us, and please know we covet your prayers as we prepare for a wedding, 2 Aug 2014. It will be in North Carolina, so we have much to prepare for, but we do want a simple ceremony and a time to celebrate with friends and family. Then we look to living in the Canberra area in the ACT, Australia, close enough to Steven's work. We don't know how the Lord will use us long term, but we want to be used of him.
Thank you and with much love,
Steven and Beth 🙂

While I'm sure I'll follow my narcissistic tradition of doing a full-issue review of Pyramid #3/76 – Dungeon Fantasy IV, I did want to drop in and note that yes, I do have an article in it, which I co-wrote with +Peter V. Dell'Orto.
This isn't a designer's notes post, but I do want to talk a bit about how ridiculously fun it was to collaborate with Peter on this one.
I can't remember where it started – I think it was a series of comments about a Dire Yorkie or something. But we started with a fart or crap joke, I think, and ran with it to terrible places. Probably during one of +Erik Tenkar's Swords and Wizardy games.
So maybe that was the origin of the Terrible power Not Cleaning That Up. Maybe it was something else. But poop jokes sound about the right level for a game that features +Tim Shorts, so I'm going with that.
Still, one thing led to another, and pretty soon we had an entire series of really awful jokes masquerading as powers and monsters.
And then +Steven Marsh asked for more. And boy did we have fun with that. The article was an odd size, and so we could either cut or add. He asked us to add, and so we did, and the Terrible Foliage and Terribly Dire Wolverine were born. More and better bad jokes were made. Plus references to both Into the Woods and Transformers, which is just win/win.
If you play Dungeon Fantasy, I think you'll like this article. Seven ready-made monsters that will rock worlds. Plus, of course, the opportunity to go buy Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 1 and get more.
But ultimately, I hope you have a least as much fun reading it as I had helping to write it.

Mehmed Ziya Gökalp (23 March 1876 – 25 October 1924) was a Turkish sociologist, writer, poet, and politician. After the 1908 Young Turk Revolution that reinstated constitutionalism in the Ottoman Empire, he adopted the pen name Gökalp ("sky hero"), which he retained for the rest of his life. As a sociologist, Ziya Gökalp was influential in the negation of Islamism, pan-Islamism, and Ottomanism as ideological, cultural, and sociological identifiers. In a 1936 publication, sociologist Niyazi Berkes described Gökalp as "the real founder of Turkish sociology, since he was not a mere translator or interpreter of foreign sociology."[1]
Gökalp's work was particularly influential in shaping the reforms of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk; his influence figured prominently in the development of Kemalism, and its legacy in the modern Republic of Turkey.[2] Influenced by contemporary European thought, particularly by the sociological view of Émile Durkheim,[3] Gökalp rejected Ottomanism and Islamism in favor of Turkish nationalism.[4] He advocated a re-Turkification of the Ottoman Empire, by promoting Turkish language and culture to all Ottoman citizenry. He found Greeks, Armenians and Jews to be a foreign body in the national Turkish state.[5] His thought, which popularized Pan-Turkism and Turanism, has been described as a "cult of nationalism and modernization".[6] His nationalist ideals espoused a de-identification with Ottoman Turkey's nearby Arab neighbors, in lieu of a supernational Turkish (or pan-Turkic) identity with "a territorial Northeast-orientation [to] Turkic peoples".[7]
Early life[edit]
Mehmed Ziya was born in Çermik in the Diyarbekir Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire on 23 March 1876. He was of Kurdish[8][9] or Zaza[10][11] descent. Diyarbakır Province was a "cultural frontier", having been ruled by Arabs and Persians until the 16th century, and featuring "conflicting national traditions" among the local populations of Turks, Kurds, and Armenians.[12] This cultural environment has often been suggested to have informed his sense of national identity; later in his life, when political detractors suggested that he was of Kurdish extraction, Gökalp responded that while he was certain of patrilineal Turkish racial heritage, this was insignificant: "I learned through my sociological studies that nationality is based solely on upbringing."[12] Some historians nonetheless characterize him as being of Kurdish origin.[13]
After attending secondary school in Diyarbakır, he settled in Istanbul, in 1896. There, he attended veterinary school and became involved in underground revolutionary politics, for which he served ten months in prison.[14] He developed relationships with many figures of the revolutionary underground in this period, abandoned his veterinary studies, and became a member of the underground revolutionary group, the Society of Union and Progress.[14] The revolutionary currents of Constantinople at the time were extremely varied; the unpopularity of the Abdul Hamid II regime had by this time awakened diverse revolutionary sentiment in Constantinople.
Gökalp's work, in the context of the decline of the Ottoman Empire, was instrumental in the development of Turkish national identity, which he himself referred to even then as Turkishness. He believed that a nation must have a "shared consciousness" in order to survive, that "the individual becomes a genuine personality only as he becomes a genuine representative of his culture".[4] He believed that a modern state must become homogeneous in terms of culture, religion, and national identity.[15] This conception of national identity was augmented by his belief in the primacy of Turkishness, as a unifying virtue. In a 1911 article, he suggested that "Turks are the 'supermen' imagined by the German philosopher Nietzsche".[15]
His major sociological work was interested in differentiating Avrupalılık ("Europeanism", the mimicking of Western societies) and Modernlik ("Modernity", taking initiative); he was interested in Japan as a model in this, for what he perceived to be its having modernized without abandoning its innate cultural identity. Gökalp suggested that to subordinate "culture" (non-utilitarianism, altruism, public-spiritedness) to "civilization" (utilitarianism, egoism, individualism) was to doom a state to decline: "civilization destroyed societal solidarity and morality".[16]
Informed by his reading of Émile Durkheim, Gökalp concluded that Western liberalism, as a social system, was inferior to solidarism, because liberalism encouraged individualism, which in turn diminished the integrity of the state.[16] Durkheim, whose work Gökalp himself translated into Turkish, perceived religion as a means of unifying a population socially, and even "religion as society's worship of itself".[17] Durkheim's assertion that the life of the group was more important than the life of the individual, this was a concept readily adopted by Gökalp.[17]
Human culture is nothing but a synthesis of national culture and international civilization.[18]
A well-known newspaper columnist and political figure, Gökalp was a primary ideologue of the Committee of Union and Progress. His views of "nation", and the ways in which they have informed the development of the modern Turkish state, have made for a controversial legacy. Many historians and sociologists have suggested that his brand of nationalism contributed to the Armenian Genocide.[19][20] His conception of nation was of a "social solidarity" that necessitated "cultural unity".[21] "Geographic nationalism", in which everyone living under one political system was a part of the nation, was unacceptable to Gökalp, who conceived of a nation as linguistically and culturally unified.[21] Finally, merely to believe one was a part of a nation, this was not enough, either; one cannot choose to belong to the nation, in his view, as membership in the nation is involuntary.[21] After World War I, he was arrested for his involvement in the Committee of Union and Progress, and briefly exiled from the country to Malta.[19]
While exiled on Malta, he continued to write and consolidate his ideas and drafted his Principles of Turkism published in 1923. He returned to Turkey in the spring of 1921, but was not given back his chair at the University of Istanbul. He settled in his hometown of Diyarbakır where he taught sociology and psychology at a secondary school and teacher's seminary.[22] He began publishing a small weekly newsletter, Küçük Mecmua, which slowly became influential and lead to contributions in the major daily newspapers of Istanbul and Ankara. At the end of 1922, Gökalp was invited to direct the department of publication and translation at the Ministry of Education. He was selected to serve on the second Grand National Assembly until his death in 1924, and he served on the Committee for Education[23] which reformed the school system, curriculum and textbooks. Additionally he participated in the drafting of the 1924 constitution.
Alp Eren Topal, a scholar from Bilkent University, while trying to showcase the originality of Gökalp, and not as someone who only "repeated" European ideas, also talks of the much-neglected influence of Sufism on the thinker : being "a big influence throughout his education and growth", he lauded its "military" lexicon and came to admire the solidarity found in the Sufi orders, "particularly the Naqshbandiyya", which not only had spiritual influence, but also a role in the modernization of the Ottoman Empire, while he also appreciated the metaphysics of medieval Andalusian thinker Ibn 'Arabi, saying that his idealism, as system of thought, was superior to that of George Berkeley or Immanuel Kant - who, he says, recycled ideas already known to Ibn 'Arabi, but without taking them too far -, and, far from being "Gnosticism-mysticism or pantheism", his ideas were pretty contemporary, resonating with those of moderns like Alfred Fouillée, Jean-Marie Guyau, Nietzsche, and William James, concluding that "in all its progression idealist philosophy has not surpassed 'Arabî's absolute and perfect idealism."[24]
Poetic works[edit]
In addition to his sociological and political career, Gökalp was also a prolific poet. His poetic work served to complement and popularize his sociological and nationalist views. In style and content, it revived a sense of pre-Islamic Turkish identity. The protagonist in his Kızılelma, the "ideal woman",[25] suggests: "The people is like a garden, / we are supposed to be its gardeners! / First the bad shoots are to be cut / and then the scion is to be grafted."[7] She is the teacher at Yeni Hayat ("New Life"), where Eastern and Western ideals meet and form a "new Turkish World".[25]
His poetry departs from his more serious sociological works, though it too harnesses nationalist sentiment: "Run, take the standard and let it be planted once again in Plevna / Night and day, let the waters of the Danube run red with blood...."[26] Perhaps his most famous poem was his 1911 Turan, which served to complement his Turanist intellectual output: "For the Turks, Fatherland means neither Turkey, nor Turkestan; Fatherland is a large and eternal country--Turan!"[27] During the First World War, his Kızıl Destan ("Red Epic") called for destroying Russia in the interest of pan-Turkism.[27]
The Principles of Turkism[edit]
His 1923 The Principles of Turkism, published just a year prior to his death, outlines the expansive nationalist identity he had long popularized in his teachings and poetry. The nationalism he espouses entails "a nation [that] is not a racial or ethnic or geographic or political or volitional group but one composed of individuals who share a common language, religion, morality, and aesthetics, that is to say, who have received the same education."[28]
He proceeds to lay out the three echelons of pan-Turkist identity that he envisions:
- the Turks in the Republic of Turkey, a nation according to cultural and other criteria;
- the Oghuz Turks, referring also to the Turkmens of Azerbayjan, Iran and Khwarizm who... essentially have one common culture which is the same as that of the Turks of Turkey—all these four forming Oghuzistan;
- more distant, Turkic-speaking peoples, such as the Yakuts, Kirghiz, Uzbeks, Kipchaks and Tatars, possessed of a traditional linguistic and ethnic unity, having affinity—but not identity—with the Turkish culture.[28]
The second stage was "Oghuzism", and the final stage would be the "Turanism" that he and other nationalist poets had been promoting since before World War I. While this broad conception of "Turkishness", of pan-Turkism, often embraced what Gökalp perceived to be ethnic commonality, he did not disparage other races, as some of his pan-Turkist successors later did.[29]
Gökalp has been characterized as "the father of Turkish nationalism",[30] and even "the Grand Master of Turkism".[13] His thought figured prominently in the political landscape of the Republic of Turkey, which emerged from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire around the time of his death. His influence resonated in diverse ways. For instance, his Principles of Turkism had contended that Ottoman classical music was Byzantine in origin; this led to the state briefly banning Ottoman classical music from the radio in the 1930s, because Turkish folk music alone "represented the genius of the nation".[31]
For popularizing pan-Turkism and Turanism, Gökalp has been viewed alternately as being racist and expansionist, and anti-racist and anti-expansionist.[32] These opposite readings of his legacy are not easily divisible into proponents and detractors, as nationalist elements in Turkey (such as the "Nationalist Action Party") have appropriated his work to contend that he supported a physical realization of Turanism, rather than a mere ideological pan-Turkist kinship.[32] Some readings of Gökalp contend, to the contrary, that his Turanism and pan-Turkism were linguistic and cultural models,[32] ideals from which a post-Ottoman identity could be derived, rather than a militant call for the physical expansion of the Republic of Turkey. Guenter Lewy writes that "practically all interpreters of Gökalp's thought stress that his notion of Turan or Turanism did not involve any expansionist plans".[33]
Although he often held quite different ideas, Arab nationalist Sati al-Husri was profoundly influenced by Gökalp.[4]

Healing Complex Trauma
with an integrative ego state therapy
An experiential workshop for trainee and experienced psychotherapists, counsellors and EMDR therapists, facilitated by Mary Clare de Echevarria
This is the first in a series of workshops on trauma, touching on PTSD and focusing on C-PTSD or complex trauma, otherwise known as attachment or developmental trauma. These workshops offer an overview of trauma and quite detailed content, integrating many different treatment models, including work with the body and ego states or dissociated parts. They are also very experiential; small groups allow for time for live demonstrations, practice and questions. They are for EMDR therapists who don't have a background in working with complex trauma, and all those who would like an opportunity to learn how this exciting new material looks and feels in practice.
The content of the weekend includes:
- The neuroscience of attachment and complex trauma, how it develops and how it can be healed
- How to recognise C-PTSD and ego states or dissociated parts of the personality
- The three phases of trauma therapy (which are not linear but cyclic): stabilising and resource development, metabolising traumatic experiences, integrating into life
- Relational psychotherapy: being a real, attuned person for your clients
- Working with the body and the creative imagination to resolve past trauma
More information on the modalities that inform the weekend can be found here.
Further workshops in the series are offered directly to those who have completed the first.
Healing Complex Trauma upcoming dates:
30 November & 1 December 2019, 10.30 – 17. 30 (12 hours' CPD), The Kailash Centre, 7 Newcourt Street, St John's Wood, London NW8 7AA
Cost: £290, or £265 early bird discount if paid in full by 1 August 2019
For more information, or to be on the mailing list for future dates, you are welcome to email firstname.lastname@example.com.
To book a place on the workshop, please email email@example.com for bank details. A non-refundable deposit of £130 reserves your place. Early booking is recommended as these weekends sell out very quickly.
Participants must have an ongoing source of support and grounding, eg a regular yoga practice, therapy, peer EMDR support or other forms of self-care.

The Japanese influences of the 1870s and 1880s came to silver in many forms. The bright-cut designs of the period utilized such elements as flowers, leaves, birds, and branches found in Japanese textiles, but as in 'Chrysanthemum' (introduced 1885), their asymmetrical dispositions were constrained by the Old English forms into which they were cut. Acid etching is the background of the handles into which the flowers are incised and emphasizes the flowers, branches and leaves. There is very, ve...
A classic mid-19th century pattern of the coin period, 'Oval Thread' appears with marks by most makers and retailers. The blades are even, without waviness, bites or burrs; the handles are firm, with no splits. There is no pitting. Wear is commensurate with their 150+ years, and have been well cared for. An anchor, Victorian head, and lion are stamped on the blades, indicating a New York maker. The name Phelps is lightly engraved on the handles in period script. The knives are a hair over 8...
The mark on the knives is for Saglier Freres, successor to Victor Saglier (1809-1894), a well-known Paris Art Nouveau silver maker who worked largely in plate but also solid silver. Sons Eugene and Andre continued the business until after World War II. These knives, 8-3/8" long, could be for lunch, dessert, cheese – or whatever – and probably date from about 1900-1910. The classic form is punctuated with acanthus leaves and can complement many Nouveau or simpler patterns. The silver is...
Christofle is perhaps France's most prestigious silver maker, dating from about 1840. 'Marly' is its oldest pattern, still in production. In addition to its innovative designs, Christofle also took the early lead on advancing the plating process which it had licensed from Elkington to make wares which were more heavily plated than their competitors and attractive to prestigious customers from all over the world. Named after the Marly castle of Louis XV, the pattern incorporates design element...
The Fiddle Thread pattern is one of the most representative of the coin period. These spoons are completely unmarked but are doubtless (guaranteed) coin silver. They're in fabulous condition – no dents, burrs, not even age-expected surface scratches – surprising for their 150+ years. There are two sets of monograms, an Old English M on the front and a script FH on the back of the handles. Length of the spoons is 5.6 in. and their weight is 98 g.
These are older D & H Pointed Antique / Broad Antique knives – introduced in 1895 – with stainless French Modern replacement blades marked "Brilliant." They are 9-1/8 in. long and bear a lovely Arts & Crafts monogram. They are marked only "sterling handle" which is very common for knives, but I got them with several other pieces of Dominick & Haff of the same vintage with the same monogram, so I'm comfortable with the identification. Two handles rattle sometimes, but are quite fi...
"Nordic" in this case could be Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Lapland and Norway) or northern Germany (which belonged to Denmark at times) or even the Baltic region – the marks are not consistent with official markings of the time and would point to a region more isolated from a guardein, or silver warden. Stylistic identification is the most reliable source, speaking to the straight form of the handle and its down-turned tip, and with its suggestion of a rib carried from the earl...
These are very attractive spoons, 5.25 long, with a twisted shank terminating in a rounded flat end with a Japanesque bright-cut décor that is in keeping with other patterns ca. 1880. The bowls have raised ridges (to keep the ice cream from sticking?) and have very pale suggestions of original gold treatment. (I am reluctant to clean them more than superficially because of this.) Wood & Hughes was known for many specialty items, but this is not a pattern I have encountered – it is similar...
The mark on the spoons is that of Bigelow, Kennard & Co., 925, and probably date from the last quarter of the 19th Century. The form of the handle is Old English, the bowls have the slightly narrower and elongated oval shape associated with early Georgian silver – and would go very well with flatware of that period. They are 5-5/8 in. long and weigh 258 g. A feathery script F is monogrammed to the front of the handle. There are no distractions of any kind. The spoons have been well care...
'Marie Antoinette' was brought out by Alvin Corp. in 1890; it is reminiscent of French Napoleon III patterns, a sort of fiddle form with motifs of laurel, honeysuckle, and cones. The fork is in fine condition. A large Gothic monogram E is in the cartouche of the handle. Length is 6 inches, weight is 16 grams.
Arthur Stone (1847-1938) is often called "The Dean of American Silversmiths." As an English born and trained silversmith, Arthur Stone's work embodied the fine workmanship associated with English silver, and with the individuality he found so appealing in early American forms. He produced both ecclesiastical and domestic silver. The shop he opened in 1901 trained many fine silversmiths in the hand-wrought method. This serving fork, in a Pointed Antique style, is heavy. Together with his m...
Schohay & Ludwig was a short-lived Philadelphia partnership (ca. 1867-73) producing items of both coin and sterling silver. The marmalade spoon is marked coin. Its handle is twisted with a wide flat terminal, engraved with volutes and blossoms; there is a central field with a script monogram EH. The heavy bowl is ovate with notches on the rim, engraved stems and leaves, and repousee fruits and berries. There are traces of gold. It is 7 in. long and weights 28 g. The condition is very good....
This charming lemon fork has a handle with gold lemons and green leaves cut out on the handle which terminates in traditionally splayed tines. The condition is excellent, the enamel intact, without scratches or bends. Length is 4.75 inches and the weight is 8 grams.
This was probably a place spoon – larger than English or American counterparts at 9-1/8 inches. The type – a 'reverse tipt' – spoon was made in virtually every silver-producing country in the 19th Century, and fits easily with the city mark for Kronstadt – modern Brasov – for 1850. Kronstadt was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1850, but is now in Romania. With the city mark is the letter N, – it could be a year code, but I have been unable to get the mark closer than ca. 1850...
This ice? spoon or straining server could be used for many things – poached eggs, peas, quenelles... It was manufactured in Brussels by Orfevrerie Bruno Wiskemann (established 1869), in the 'Fiddle Thread' pattern, adaptable to many tables. It is in excellent condition – no missing plating, discoloration or heel wear, and with no monograms – wonderful condition. Marked with the old Wiskemann mark. The length is 9.5 in. long.
The Chrysanthemum pattern was introduced by Gorham in 1885, together with many other bright-cuts that were emerging at that time. The bright-cut pieces were hand-engraved – no two are exactly alike, and were labor intensive. The bowl of this attractive sauce ladle has chrysanthemums engraved in the acid-etched bowl as well. There are no monograms or removals, scratches or bends or dings. The length is just under 6 inches (hard to measure!) and the weight is 34 grams. The mark is the Gorha...
All Items : : Pre 1900 item #1057461 (stock #X2450)
Jac Rose is a bright-cut pattern made by several manufacturers, but this one is by Gorham, who introduced it in 1885. The entire surface is acid-etched, providing greater contrast for the rose and leaves highlighted by the engraver. The beautiful bowl is used on many of the Gorham Jac Rose servers – pointed with a small flange, with the suggestion of a shell in its interior. The spoon could be used for sugar, marmalade, or as a small berry spoon. The jac rose is again carved into the bowl. ...
Albert Coles (1815-1885) must have attended one of the early concerts given by Jenny Lind upon her arrival in New York, where Coles worked, in 1850; his pattern is generally placed in that year. Known as the "Swedish Nightingale," Jenny Lind won an immediate place in the hearts of Americans, not only for her voice but also for her philanthropy for which was deemed virtuous. Many places and objects were named after her. Coles' tribute in creating the double-struck Jenny Lind pattern took ...

Crybaby Pounds Ranter
My personal bent is to let everyone say what they want, within minor limits, especially if they blog. Those limits are when they and their cadre of sycophants personally attack me. Which is exactly what happened with these two bloggers. So, I'm in Seventh Heaven when I read a whack job like this: THE CHIV'D AWARD THIS WEEK GOES TO………………………
If they want to post opinions, that's fine – just be decent and recognize that is what they are writing, an opinion. Most opinions are just plain worthless; nothing more than conjecture, speculation and cheap guessing – fantasies rattling around in an empty head. That doesn't say that the opinionator is worthless. Unless he correlates him or herself with their opinions. If so, then they are psychotic and need help.
You can find the blog the Tuluwaa babies are talking about here. You'll have to scroll down a ways until you get to this: Thanks to Jon and HCDCC members but Linda Atkins needs to learn basic civility. Based upon my own personal experience with John Chiv I'd say he needs to learn how to practice what he preaches. The same goes for Jon Yalcinkaya. From what I read I'd say these two individuals are two kinds of the same hypocritical slime.
People that live in glass houses should never throw stones. – Unspoken words taken right out of my mouth:
Guess what Mr. Chiv'd….you are a public figure as well. You have a political blog and put yourself out there as a member of the media. As a public figure, you may be criticized the same as anyone else. For instance, you claim to be accepting but you are terribly small minded and in many ways a complete bigot!
If these three specimens of humanity only knew how much the general population hate their political guts, they'd crawl back under their rocks and never out again. Either way, they are like snakes eating their own tails. They are proven void of all credibility.
Man! Do I love it when I'm right.
Blogs that are Worth their Salt
It's been a while since I posted on this blog. I've been re-stoking my boilers.
It's also been a while since I posted any MacLeod Cartoons. When I checked his Facebook page (www.facebook.com/MacLeodCartoons) I found the following quote. What this man says about political cartoons can easily be said about me and my Joe Blow Report. Kudos to James MacLeod.
Joe's Moto: Everything is about something different.
Look Who's Joined At The Hip
Why, if it's not Kym Kemp and Hank Sims. Why doesn't this surprise me? Is it true what they used to say, "Birds of a feather always flock together"?
I was checking my Reader Blogs and saw a new post by Eric Kirk. When I got to his blog I found this:
To Sacramento for the Busses!
January 14, 2012 in Uncategorized | by Eric Kirk
On January 24. Kym has the details.
The link, Kym has the details, to my surprise went here, to the Lost Coast Outpost website:
Southern Humboldt Takes a Field Trip to Sacramento
Kym Kemp / Yesterday @ 10:17 p.m. /
Well, I can certainly see that Kym wrote this article, so I went to her web site, Readheaded Blackbelt and look at what I found – A complete knockoff of the Lost Coast Outpost. What really caught my attention is when I thought to leave a comment on Kym's blog and got down to the bottom of the page and found out that my normal login was not available and happened to see this:
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com. © 2011 Lost Coast Communications.
So it is with some lament that we say, it's been a trip, Kym.
How Did I Miss This Blog?
TLC'S Place
Here is what he says about his blog:
If life were meant to be boring, we would all be living in Disneyland and eating paste. But we chose otherwise. Enjoy and participate actively in this temporary escapade we call "life". Adventures are not meant to be spent lounging at the side of the road. –TLC
The comment that he posted Thursday, June 30, 2011, has been my mantra my whole life:
Silence"Your silence gives consent."
–Plato (429-347 BC)
When all of you brilliant individuals choose to ignore and exclude Joe Blow's observations and comments, guess what? You AFFIRM everything he says. A joke on all of you that I've known for thousands of years.
The Substance of a Twittering Democrat
The Joe Blow Report came to a towering decision this week, wrote a specific comment to see if the decision was justified – it was, so now we move on. From the beginning of this blog our interests were directed locally. Since our roots are in Southern Humboldt we concentrated on blogs originating there. For example three come to mind, (1)Ernie Branscomb (a punk I went to school with – [my school-time opinion of him] – it hasn't changed in 50 years), (2) Kym Kemp and (3)Eric Kirk. Kym was conversational and seemed open-minded – turns out she's not, and the Great Kirk, a Garberville celebrity. Go there, check them out. Each has an interesting and informative website. They also have a rather faithful and diversified list of followers. Each are an absolute authority on all matters relevant to themselves. Think not? Just question them or make a critical comment on something they assert, and they'll straighten you out in a heartbeat. If they don't, just be patient some of their adoring fans will. Of course, afterwards if you are lucky, you'll believe that you just managed to escape a lynching.
Between the three blogs and the select people that regularly made comments on these blogs it was easy to get a pretty good cross-section on the thinking and status quo of the local SoHum community. Each of these three people are unique in their own way. Their writings vary with their ages and experience in life. What they believe and how they approach life is clearly evident. In time I was able to ascertain that all three possessed one equalizing quality: The all believe they are of the elite class of Americans. They're really only wannabes, but that doesn't slow them up when it comes to talking down to those that challenge their make-believe status.
Not only are they wannabes, they are not very decent to anyone that's not a groupie. They all open their blogs to anyone wanting to join in on the conversations they post, but when they don't want to acknowledge a specifically directed question or comment offered to them, they just look down their respective arrogant elitist noses and ignore you. Doing that in public is simply RUDE. It is also indecent, demeaning and derogatory. What bloggers that do this don't realize is what they are saying about themselves. It is how they are defined, or define themselves, as wannabe little elite gods. It doesn't take the other participants long to pickup on what's going on and join in on the circle-jerk.
All they have to do if they don't want to talk to someone is simply tell them, "you're not welcome on this blog." But then, that would require them to lower themselves to the "sub-human" level, and then they'd be admitting to everyone that, in their heart of hearts, they're really not "wannabes." When you accuse someone of being a second class citizen and then treat them like some pariah, you certainly can't expect that bully to be decent, now can you? So, why would they listen to anything you have say? They won't and they don't. The fact is, they try to use what you say against you every time.
When I think of these people I am reminded of the first time I read the Charles Dickens' novel, The Tale of Two Cities. I think this is what's happening in America. These wannabe Aristocrats will be worse then the real Power Elites by the time this mess shakes itself all out. By then I don't think it will matter. They're already doing a pretty good job. They've got their "mock" guillotine working pretty darn good too – you either agree to their unsubstantiated, unproven and unsupported opinions telling you what to believe and think or – off with your head.

Expert Advice on How to Make an English Research Paper in APA Format
APA is without a doubt one of the most used types of paper writing and citation. It is mainly used in social sciences and scientific papers. This method was invented by the American Psychological Association as their own standard for writing academic papers to be published. The following are the most important sections which must be included when writing an academic paper.
- Cover Page
- Executive Summary
- Introduction
- Body
- Conclusion
- References
Every institution has its own guidelines on how these papers should be written. For instance , there are those institutions which recommend that the literature review be between the introduction and the background information. This also depends on the type of essay that is being written. APA is not a reserve of the large essays and project proposals. No, even very small papers such as 5 page papers and classifications can always be put into APA format. Its not a very complicated format because all what is needed is the reference, citations and subheadings. There is an official website which offers a lot of information on how to format the APA document to make it be of the highest quality. Simply put, a classification essay is one whereby you are required to organize particular items in a particular order or categories. To create a good classification essay, you need to follow 3 main steps.
- Step 1: Categorize the items given
- Step 2: Ensure that all categories follow a clear set of guideline
- Step 3: Give examples of what fits under what categories
How to Find Categories For Your Paper
It is very important for you to find categories for your paper. These categories will be very essential in ensuring that you have an excellent paper. This is actually the first main step which you will take when creating the classification essay. To do this, you will first and foremost identify the categories which will be of importance. A good example for this is to assume that you have some piece of pens in a table. You are now supposed to arrange them. The best thing would be to arrange pens of the same colours together and arrange them in one place instead of putting the pens in categories that are not similar. This is the same idea that you should apply when it comes to writing a classification essay.
