WASHINGTON The U.S. Forest Service is in desperate need of additional firefighting air tankers, and future climate change could stretch already depleted resources.
Last week, NASA scientists met at the annual American Geophysical Union to discuss forest fires and climate change. If carbon emissions continue at current rates, scientists predict an increase in fire risk across the United States. Widespread fires, like those in 2012, would likely occur three to four times per decade by then, instead of once per decade, said Doug Morton of NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
Doug McBee, executive director of Colorado State Fire Chiefs, said the wildfire season, which used to end in October, appears to be expanding to year-round. This year, the U.S. Forest Service has had to return resources to combat the fires.
When a fire breaks out, air tankers are flown to contain it. The Forest Service typically starts sending contracted air tankers in mid-February and returning them by mid-November, said Forest Service spokeswoman Jennifer Jones. If a fire breaks out before or after that period, the Forest Service delivers tankers available on optional-use periods. Currently, the Forest Service has two large air tankers in service that normally would be grounded. Still, there are no plans to change the schedule of availability for the tankers, Jones said.
Though demand is clearly rising, the number of air tankers available to the Forest Service has plummeted over the last decade. In 2002, the Forest Service had 42 tankers available compared to 11 in 2012.
The fleet has diminished after crashes and reductions from aircraft that could not meet safety standards. Much of the aging fleet is made up of planes such as P2V-7s, aluminum bombers from World War II, one of which crashed in June in Utah. Bloomberg Businessweek reported that from June to July alone this year, three planes crashed, leaving six dead.
When the Forest Service is using its full supply of tankers, the Air National Guard steps in to provide them with more planes. In 2012, the Air National Guard supplied eight military C-130 planes. Although the C-130s are newer, a crash killed four men while fighting a fire in South Dakota in July, marking the first wildfire crash for the Air National Guard since the 1970s.
Contracts are pending for modernized tankers that would allow the Forest Service to expand its fleet in 2013. However, Jones said the Forest Service will continue supplementing its fleet in 2013 with C-130s. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., recently called for air-tanker modernization in a November letter to the Senate subcommittee overseeing the Forest Service appropriations.
Last week, a law passed giving the Forest Service and the Coast Guard priority to surplus C-27Js from the Department of Defense.
This allows the Forest Service to acquire 14 C-27Js to enhance its diminished firefighting fleet at no cost to the Air Force or Forest Service, according to the Helicopter Association International. The C-27Js, manufactured in 2007, would become the newest planes on the Forest Service fleet. But over the summer, the Air Force grounded its entire C-27Js fleet as a precautionary measure after a mechanical failure on one flight.

Ahoy, Critterfolk!
New entry Dec 07
Critter Notices
Critters no longer accepting European Union members :(It's with a heavy heart that I have to announce Critters can no longer accept people in the European Union as members. This is a result of the "GDPR" privacy laws going into effect. I'm a big fan of privacy, and applaud the general idea behind the GDPR, but the way it's implemented forces me to close the door to EU writers. [read more why...]

From: email@example.com (Maureen F. McHugh) [Writing about being an instructor at Clarion] ...My critique template starts with a sentence summation of what the story is about. (You'd be surprised how often someone summarizes your story and you think, hey, wait, that wasn't the important part--which tells you something about where the weight is falling in the story.) Then they had to tell how the story was effective, how the story wasn't effective, and make a suggestion for improvement. Oddly enough, this is an amazingly good formula to get critiques that feel useful rather than savage. (You always feel savaged a bit after critique, I mean, that's your baby on the later, you know?) And it worked really well.

I took this photograph on a recent visit to the Cowling Hill Baptist chapel graveyard in Cowling, West Yorkshire.
The grave is the resting place of Thomas Dawson (my 1st cousin 4x removed), his wife Jane (nee Emmott) and their son Watson Emmott Dawson.
Thomas was born in Cowling in 1851 to parents John Dawson and Elizabeth Benson. The census returns show that Thomas worked as a warp dresser, a worsted weaving overlooker and also an engine tenter in a local factory. In 1911 he was working as a farmer.
Sometime in Q1 of 1877 Thomas married Jane Emmott, also from Cowling. I haven't done any research on Jane yet so have no information about her family. Although the Emmott family name has a long tradition in and around Cowling.
Thomas and Jane had at least three children:-
• Albert Frederick – born 8 February 1883
• James Willie – born 17 May 1885
• Watson Emmott – born 24 June 1887
If you follow the link above you will see that I wrote about Watson Emmott in a recent Military Monday post.
Thomas died on 18 January 1926 at the age of 74 and Jane died aged 90 on 2 February 1949. In between their deaths Watson Emmott passed away at the age of 57 on 14 October 1944.

It's rare to see a humpback whale so close to shore off the beaches of Rockaway, N.Y. It's even more rare to have one of the 40-foot whales emerge from the water just feet from your boat.
But that's what happened to Bobby Leonard when he was out on a recent fishing trip with his brother and dad.
"There's no such thing as whale watching on the beach. It was unheard of," Leonard told Yahoo News in a phone interview on Thursday. "It was just a great experience to be so close to something so big."
Leonard, who runs The Spy Store in Manhattan, says he grabbed one of his company's high-powered cameras when he noticed the whales swimming close to the shore.
"I told my brother, maybe we can get some footage of the whales," Leonard said. "But we were just out there fishing. We never expected them to get so close."
Leonard says there was a large school of fish near his boat that suddenly scattered.
"It was just chaos out there," he said. "All of sudden the fish got nervous."
Just moments later, the humpback whale popped up from the water only a few feet from Leonard, his brother Mike and his dad, Bob.
"I didn't think we were in danger. I think they know what they are doing," Leonard said. "They know where the boats are. I think they are smart enough to know that."
The close encounter was one he says he'll remember for the rest of his life.
And as it turns out, it's not his family's only brush with the local whale population.
"A couple of years ago, a live pilot whale washed up on the shore," Leonard said. "My brother just lives three blocks down from me, and he raced out there when he heard, and saved the whale. He helped it get back out to sea."
While whale sightings so close to the shore are rare, they're not totally unprecedented. A marine environmental scientist told CBS New York that the whales were likely in the middle of their annual migration toward waters in the Caribbean.

Women's Buffalo Bills #81 Tyler Kroft Limited White/Pink Rush Fashion Football JerseyIn Stock
Buffalo Bills
Inspired by death of 11-year old brother, Bills' Eric Wood nominated for Walter Payton Man of the Year award
The announced on Wednesday that center Eric Wood was selected as their nominee for the NFL's prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year award. It's Wood for the second consecutive year was nominated for the award. He is in his eighth season after being Buffalo's second selection in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He facilitated three running backs in eclipsing 500 rushing yards rushing in 2015 and was selected to represent the team in the Pro Bowl.
Wood's selection by Buffalo as their nominee for the Walter Payton award comes as no surprise to anyone that knows him. His tireless effort on and off the field has made him a deeply respected member of the Western New York community. He has been known for his charitable work. In addition to?Bills Play 60 program along with the Billieve/A Crucial Catch outreach and Salute to Service initiatives, Wood established his own The Eric Wood Foundation in 2014 for assisting children and families throughout the Greater Buffalo region with seriously ill, special needs, and physically challenged with daily encouragement and life-changing experiences.
Eric was inspired to start the foundation by his brother Evan who passed away at age 11 from severe cerebral palsy. Since the inception of the foundation, nearly $400,000 has been raised to directly impact the lives of those who need it most.

No problem, enjoy the rest of your break and take your time looking through cupboards. Just message when you are ready to swap:)
Would like to try Climber's High and Utopian Jewel
Just like you, interested in variety. I'd like to try Big Red Robe and also Choco*late, Golden Monkey Paw, and maybe a little Eagle Nest and a cup or two of Spicy Pear. Plus, I didn't see a tasting note on the Chicago Tie Guan Yin, which I love, so if you weren't fond of it I'm happy to swap for some of that, too. Looks like you like oolong, and I just last week got a decent amount of SpecialTeas China Fine Ti Kaun Yin Oolong, plus their Chun Mee Organic and Keemun Special Grade. Also happy to swap my EnjoyingTea Green Oolong bagged tea. I'm following you so lemme know what you think.
He he he how awesome is it that you are my sweetea person! I got the package today and wow! I can't wait to try everything. Including the utopian jewel and the climber's :) cheers!

I 'm posting a list of what I have afterwards; would you be willing to swap for for Garden Aria or the Tuocha Jasmine?
Batrachoid – how about both (i had enough garden aria for 2 tins) for
Rishi Wuyi Oolng
Iron Goddess oolong
Sure. =) I'll Pm my address.
I have these for sampling:
Adagio Decaf Earl Grey (loose)
Adagio Decaf Tropics (loose)
Adagio Earl Grey (loose)
Adagio Lemon Grass (loose)

Adagio Peppermint (loose)
Numi Mate Lemon (bagged)

Are you interested in any of the following?:
Samovar's Lemon Yunan ~20g (I'd like to send the whole amount)
Den's Tea: (I could send a large sample 10g+ of these)
Kuradashi Sencha
Sencha Zuiko
Apple Sencha
Harney & Sons Vanilla Comoro (I could send a couple bags)
Harney & Sons Tokyo (I don't mind sending up to 20g)
Rishi Tea Golden Needle (2g-4g sample)
1TTEN Genmaicha (I don't mind sending up to 30g, as I have a lot, but it is good)
If one or a couple of those interest you, I'd be willing to trade some for:
I saw you have (in your cupboard) Den's Green Kukicha, Organic Sencha/Houjicha tea bags – I'd be interested in a sample of any of that (a few grams for the Kukicha, or 1 bag of the organics).
How much of a sample would you be willing to send for the Rooibos Vanilla?
Hi! I'm interested in swapping, but I don't have a scale to weigh the teas. I'm interested in trying H&S Vanilla Comoro, 1TTEN Genmaicha, and/or Samovar's Lemon Yunan.
How many grams in a teaspoon? I'm willing to send Rooibos Vanilla in a small adagio tin size, which I believe is 1oz. And Den's Kukicha about 3+ teaspoons (according to gourmetsleuth's calculator, thats about 14 grams+?)
I'm moving really soon so the organic tea bags are packed up already. :)
Hello, Shinobincha, I am interested in some of your swaps if any in my cupboard you want to try.
Hey Mel,
Well, after I swapped with oOTeaOo there isn't as much available.
I have for sampling:
Apple Sencha (2g – 4g)
1TTen Genmaicha (large sample, 14g-20g)
Harney and Sons Tokyo (large sample, 14g-1oz)
52teas Strawberry Pie (8g-14g)
Interesting are: Marco Polo, Carrot Cake, 2009 Winter TGY, TKY Golden Milk Tea
I can give you two teaspoons of each, my scale for baking isn't the best for small grams. I am ordering the strawberry pie, but I am interested in the others.
oOteaOo, anything from my list that interests you?
I'm interested in swapping!
Hi Mel, I have messaged you about this; just wanted to make sure you got it!
Harney & Sons Valentine's Blend
Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice
Rishi Wuyi Oolong
Plucker's Pick Ceylon
Tao of Tea Rose Tuocha
Tao of Tea Kukicha (My sister drank it. (-_-;) Sorry. More in three weeks.)
Tao of Tea Rainforest Strong Green Tea (Er, more in three weeks. See comment)
Tao of Tea Green Kukicha
A Better Choice Iron Goddess
I'm also going to a store on Wednsday that sells most Tao of Tea teas so if you have one in mind, PM me and I'll pick it up for swap (definate purchases are Jasmine Pearls, Osthmanthus, and more Rose Tuocha.). I can also get Frontier Co-op's teas (they're found in every health food store I've seen but apparently a lot of Steepsterites haven't tried them, so I guess they're not as ubiquitous as I presumed a few months ago. Or am I wrong? O_O; )
frenchvanilla: I'd be willing to trade for The Republic of Tea's Red Velvet Chocolate.
I'll take the Tao of Tea Rose Tuocha and Rainforest Stong Green, as well as the Rishi Wuyi Oolong. What would you like in return? Feel free to check out my Cupboard.
I'd love to have the Harney and Son's Valentine's Blend, can I send you anything from my swap list on page one, or anything from my cupboard?
Oops. I drank the last cup of the Strong Green and forgot I had it up here. 0_0; Damn A.D.D impulses
I have another tin on order in three weeks at he store. I 'll still swap with one more person besides Jillian if they (and she) don't mind the wait. Again, I apologize.
Jilian: Sure, I can send some of the Rose Tuocha and the Rishi (but only one cup if that's okay). I'll have a look….the White Chocolate Grasshopper and Harney Dragon Jasmine Pearls would be my first choice or a different honeybush or guayasa if those are out.
Meghann M: I was hoping you'd ask! Sure, Brian's Snickerdoodle is perfect! I planned on making snickerdooodles this week for our annual "I am so sick of winter" party. Seems we both want to pair a tea with an event, eh? I'll PM my address.
I would love to send you some of the red velvet chocolate! What would you like to trade in return? :)
Well, I have what's up there. (^_^;) not much left.
Edit: Yay, got a few more things. See post to Joe.
Batrachoid, I can do the H&S Dragon Pearl Jasmine (it's in pyramid bags if that's okay). I'm reluctant to open the 52Teas White Choc Grasshopper since I have a bunch of honeybush teas open already, but I'll send you some other flavoured honeybush from 52Teas if that's okay?
I don't mind splitting the Strong Green w/ other people – with all the teas I got for the Holidays I don't particularly need a ton anyway. ;)
Do you still have Tao of Tea Green Kukicha?
I wouldn't mind swapping some red velvet for that! :)
Do you still have the Tao of Tea Rose Tuocha?
RachanaC: I'm sorry I didn't see your response until now!
Yes, I do.
Spencer: That sounds great!
Right now just the three kinds of tuocha tuocha and one loose pu'erh from another swap I don't know the origins of.
Batrachoid: I would love some. What would you like to try of mine? I bought a brick of Pu Erh from Tea Gschwendner recently and can cut a block or 2 off for you if you like. If not check out my cupboard.

These fabrics are beautiful!! I would love to win this bundle...thanks for the opportunity!ReplyDelete
What an awesome giveaway! I feel greedy since I actually already have a fat quarter bundle of these prints, but would love to have a bit more to play with... maybe I could make a quilt for our couch in addition to the pillows! :)ReplyDelete
Wowza! What a fun lot of fabric! I've been looking at grey lately, and this would be fun to work into a tote bag, or maybe this needs to be my sewing machine cover...or both! Love it!ReplyDelete
Hello John - I love both color stories too and would have had a difficult time choosing! If I won, I would make a quilt for my sun porch.ReplyDelete
Beautiful fabrics! Off to look at the etsy shop. Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous fabric - haven't seen this before so would relish the opportunity to fondle it in person!! Thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
I don't know what I would make but it would be something spectacular if this bundle is involved! I've been drooling over this for awhile and just haven't been able to pull the trigger because of the price tag. Thanks for the opportunity to win some, keeping my fingers crossed that I get picked!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance to win these great fabrics. I love them.ReplyDelete
Oooh! I've been looking at these for a while, and trying to make an excuse to buy more fabric. Thanks for the chance to win some.ReplyDelete
These fabrics are wonderful....my mind is reeling and thinking about what to make...so many ideas.ReplyDelete
Hi John, So i was reading your post thinking please give away the yellow, gray and black... ;)) Make it so.. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyDelete
Kath (email@example.com)
Mmmmm...this would really challenge me. As much as I like these prints...they are totally out of my comfort range. Challenge is good.ReplyDelete
Gah, these are so super cute! I think I'd have a hard time cutting into them, but I'm thinking some wonky log cabin blocks, a la you, would be awesome. Thanks for such a great giveaway!ReplyDelete
I love the colors of these FQs. I would love to make some pillows for the futon in my sewing room.ReplyDelete
It's hard to imagine how Laurie could top Tufted Tweets, but let's face it, the new line is FAB! Thanks for doing the giveaway and I can't wait to see what you make :)ReplyDelete
LOVE Laurie's fabric lines. It's great having a chance to win a few of her goodies. Thanks!ReplyDelete
This would be perfect for my sister, who loves birds and is having her first baby! Gonna have to get some if I don't win the giveaway! ;-)ReplyDelete
Maybe April 2 will be my lucky day after all the fooling I'm sure to endure at the hands of my children the day before. I'd love to the lucky recipient of these FQ's...ReplyDelete
You should have picked the grey and yellow! They are definitely the more gorgeous of the two (though the blue and orange is SO NICE too). Can't wait to see what you've made.ReplyDelete
I would love to win these! Living on the bottom side of the world makes buying things on etsy etc cost prohibitive much of the time.ReplyDelete
those fabrics are awesome!! love both colorways - can't wait to see what you're making!ReplyDelete
I really like the blue/orange combination!ReplyDelete
Dude, I must have those....Love that yellow and grey!! pick me....or else .....uh, I'll think of something for or else.... :)ReplyDelete

OMG, so pretty! Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete

I love, love, love this fabric! I would probably make some pillows.ReplyDelete
ohhhhhhh, I am loving this fabric! It would make a wonderful summer quilt. Or, a tote. Or, pillows...gosh, I don't know. I just know that I would love to play with it.ReplyDelete
Those colors were made for me! Burp cloths or aprons come to mind.ReplyDelete
Those are so gorgeous! Pick me, pick me!! I would definitely incorporate it into a baby blanket for the new little baby on the way in the family I am a nanny for!ReplyDelete
Pillow, valance, apply as a waist belt on a black botton dress, tote bag...ReplyDelete
Oh! I would make some cute pillows with that beautiful fabric. I love the colors!ReplyDelete

Wow, those fabrics are great!ReplyDelete
OMG I am obsessed with yellow and grey! I would so love to win this!ReplyDelete
Hello :o) Beautiful fabrics! That gray and yellow make me think of winter giving way to spring... much the place us northerners are in at this very moment. :o)ReplyDelete
My daughter would love the birds and the nests. I think I'd let her decide what I should make.ReplyDelete
I don't have a clue what I would make! Isn't that crazy!! I know that I would take some time to love them up, that is for sure!! Thanks for the give-away!ReplyDelete
Hello, John! What am I going to do with these fabrics? Add them to my stash, of course! I do like that yellow and gray combo. Thanks for counting me in.ReplyDelete
Hi! De-lurking to say thanks for the opportunity to win these gorgeous fabrics. I think I would combine them with some solid gray to make a pillow, or maybe a bag. I surely would love to carry them around with me so a bag might be a better idea...ReplyDelete
How come when I have an idea I can't find what I need to bring my idea to fruition? And then here I am checking in on what you are doing and you are offering a giveaway with "that just perfect fabric". This is just what my wicker rockers need in pillows to make they spring ready. Come on "Random" you know I just adore you. Thanks for the op to win some great fabricReplyDelete
I'd make a quilt to hang on the wall in my sewing room! I adore the yellow - gray colorway. Thanks to you both for giving some away!ReplyDelete
these are awesome! i would make some deeply fabulous handbags with these fabrics!ReplyDelete
Hmm.. I just tried to post a comment and I think some sort of god of the internet ate it. Hopefully I don't wind up double posting... Anyway, I'd said that it was really lovely of Laurie to give you the fabric to giveaway.ReplyDelete
I love these fabrics and I would add them to my Laurie Wisbrun collection...!ReplyDelete
BTW-Loving my Patty Young F&F mug rug! can't bear to put anything potentially damaging on it, so it is resting under my antique silver hand mirror on top of the dresser....center stage :) Many Thanks!!
I'd use them as contrast fabric to make the awesomest grocery bags ever. Love those nesting birds!ReplyDelete
What a charming collection! I can see why you had a hard time deciding.ReplyDelete
What a lovely collection of beautiful fabrics. Please enter me to win this grouping.ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness! I am SO in love with that yellow and grey combination. You are soooo luckynto have such good friends/connections ;) I have some grey Kona that would be perfect with this fabric in a little quilt! (oh please - fingers crossed - pick me)ReplyDelete
such yummy yummy fabrics! loving the chair print. thanx for the chance!ReplyDelete
Can't miss this opportunity to win. I will may a quilted table runner for mothers day!ReplyDelete
I like how you roll!ReplyDelete
That's some seriously sexy fabric. I would have to sit and stare at it for a bit before deciding on a project. I have to pet it, stare at it, fold it, unfold it, iron it, stare at it some more, sing to it... and then, only then, does it tell me what it wants to be. :-P
I love these colors. I like making different sets of place mats and don't have those colors, they would look great!ReplyDelete
love the combinations. I think i would try and make some pillows for my bedroom.ReplyDelete
Thanks a bunch Quilt Dad!!!ReplyDelete
I like both colour-ways of this one.ReplyDelete
What a cute design! Both colorways are fantastic.ReplyDelete
I couldn't pick what I'd make with that fabric. I'd have to let it marinate for awhile before I could decide (and then I'd second and third guess myself until I finished the project).ReplyDelete
gorgeous awesome fabrics... I use some discarded and ratty (two but beginning to need 3) chair pads on my computer chair as padding to boost me to a better ergonomic height for my sewing machine which is the same height as my pc. I keep thinking a sewer should have a pretty booster cushion not the old ones that are part broken from the dining room chairs, I would love to use this fabric to nest in my computer chair with :)ReplyDelete
I think I would make a quilt for my bedroom with the fabric.. it would mix beautifully with some solids I have in my stash :)ReplyDelete
Thank you for the chance!!
Too cute! I think I would make a spring purse. and since the 3rd is my birthday, it would be awful nice if I could win.....ReplyDelete
So pretty! I'd love to win!ReplyDelete
I don't know what I would make yet. But I love the fabric!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance! While I'm not sure what I'd actually do with the fabrics right now, I'm sure the right project would come along if I were to win.ReplyDelete
I love these colors and I love her designs. So cute!ReplyDelete
I would love to make a purse or skirt with this fabric. Thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDelete

Thanks for the giveaway!

One hundred and fourteen years ago today, Taylor & Sweet, merchants whose store was then located in Tallulah Falls, published the following advertisement in The Tallulah Falls Spray (16 December 1897 issue, Vol. 2, No. 20).
We have bought a complete stock of Christmas novelties, comprising a nice line of Chinese and Japanese dolls, toys, Christmas cards, etc., which we will sell at a sacrifice. We have a few dozen taffeta and serge silk umbrellas for 50 cents each worth two dollars. Also a line of overcoats for $2.25 and $2.50 worth three times that amount. Buy before they are gone. Taylor & Sweet.
I wonder how many boys and girls found Taylor & Sweet goodies in their stocking that Christmas?

Watch These Cats Just Lounging Around — Daily Distraction
[onescreen item="5000740"]
Cats can, on occasion, seem a bit lazy. And that's not an entirely undeserved reputation.
But while we have no problem with an animal taking a nap, these particular cats appear to have taken laziness to a whole new feline level. Just lying there on their backs, not a care in the world, dozing off like it doesn't even matter ... well, that sounds pretty nice actually. *yawn*
The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you're eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say "aaahhh" or not believe what you just watched.

Interesting how what people call themselves and others can be such a touchy issue. Were the Othodox really proselytizing?
A much better place to debate Roman Catholics is Steve Ray's forums.catholic-convert.com where they have areas for this type of discussion.

I was formerly a regular participant on the Catholic Answers "Eastern Christianity" forum. I was never proselytized there, but what I did learn from the Orthodox posters ultimately caused me to begin my own inquiry and let me to the Holy Orthodox church
This is a very unfortunate development.
I really liked it over there. But now I am gone,...
I thought they had a good thing going...I have more problems with the Catholics there then the Orthodox...Though in reality RC boards tend to give me a headache...
Me too.http://forums.catholic.com/showpost.php?p=2939396&postcount=47Pity, a good forum needs a rhytm and opposed parties. They also have available online library and I did learn there.Where is Fr Ambrose?

Originally Posted by Ignatius From everything I've seen, I don't think the Eastern Orthodox are sincerely interested in restoring communion with the Catholic Church.
So, as I understand this now, we in the "Holy Orthodox Catholic Church of the East" (a canonical name of our communion), which has never ceased referring to itself as the "Catholic Church" must now refrain from using the term "Orthodox Catholic" (itself an accommodation to those in the communion of the Church of Rome which also appropriates the name "Catholic Church"). Even "Eastern Orthodox" is a western derived term and technically foreign to us. I guess we could consider ourselves "Catholic Not in Communion with Rome"? Probably not.To me, our participation here under this new requirement (and home in NCR) is tantamount to our saying that the Communion of Rome is correct and we are wrong. That I cannot do.
Shake the dust from one's sandals and move on...
I was banned, I got tired of all the Orthodox bashing by the Romans. It's too bad that they couldn't take the heat. Instead of answering us they just ban all Orthodox. I'm glad to be gone.
Regards to all known posters here - obadiah, stashko, Hesychios, jimmy. Good to see you guys.
I really liked it over there. But now I am gone, too bad so sad....the Orthodox participants were very good for the most part, and the amateur Rc apologists were unequipped to handle strong defenses from the perspective of Holy Orthodoxy. They basically train themselves to answer protestant objections, so they are not ready to handle real Catholics who disagree with them over the Papacy and certain other doctrinal points. Often they would create straw men by portraying Orthodox as another form of protestant.Because the Orthodox were usually too savvy, the Rc apologists had a very difficult time dismissing the Orthodox through character assasination or other means, so they had to rely on facts. Rc sources of information are inadequate, actually, and they were often caught off guard by Orthodox interpretations of events and translations of Patristic quotes (to name just two examples). Reliance on sources like the old Catholic Encyclopedia puts most Rc apologists at a significant disadvantage, we would tell them this all the time but as each new crop of gung ho apologists would come in they would have referred back to the same outdated erroneous materials. Even Catholic Answers own materials were often deficient, with errors that should embarass them, but they did not do regular updates or corrections, apparentlyI believe the archives (or some of them) are still available for viewing temporarily. Should make interesting reading for anyone so inclined.I would suggest anyone of a mind to, going over there just to read the archives and copy posts of interest for your files, while they are still available.Michael
I usually post over there as East and West. I don't think what you name as the problem is the real problem. What was going on was that posters such as Fr. Ambrose did more than just defend Eastern Orthodoxy. They often descended to blatant bashing of the Catholic faith and did so without consequence. Catholics, on the other hand, who defended the Catholic faith well were often disciplined by the moderator. To make matters worse, it had gotten to the point where Catholics were not allowed to articulate the CATHOLIC position that the EO Church is not Catholic in the full sense of the word. It was just strange that the Catholic position was censored and the EO position allowed to be freely expressed on a CAtholic website. Furthermore, there were threads that celebrated people's conversion away from the Catholic Church and to the EO churches. From a Catholic perspective, these people were committing mortal sin and it was being celebrated. Entirely inappropriate for a Catholic web site.
As it happens, I just got suspended there!I quoted a Greek Catholic Cardinal commenting on his own church, the UGCC.The very next morning I read this comment from a Catholic... Re: Grateful for the Eastern Catholicism Forum --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Seems that if they were sincerely interested they would still be here willing to dialogue. I had wanted to gently enlighten this individual to the new realities of all the bannings (and in effect, muzzling) of my confreres (they really ARE willing to dialogue, you know...so that is another straw man right there) so I tried to sign in and got this:Your account has been locked for the following reason:transgression of forum rulesThis change will be lifted: Nov 15, '07, 2:00 amWhat rule did I violate? In my last previous post I quoted Lubomyr Husar of the Greek Catholic church, on the subject of an Ukrainian Greek Catholic church!! I was sure that I was within the new guidelines for discourse in that forum.As it happens I believe there are about nine Orthodox secretly banned or otherwise locked out of the forum, and it appears they are changing moderators.I understand banning and suspensions, sometimes it has to be done. But this is something different, a whitewash of sorts.Michael
Poppycock! The Orthodox posters defended their faith eloquently and the Latins could not bear it. You show your ignorance here as you say that Orthodox "are not Catholic in the full sense of the word." Fr Ambrose was a pillar in defending the true faith. The papal Catholics and many of the moderators could not handle it.
A big welcome to all CAF refugees.
Hi Jeff! Hi stashko! Hi Michael! You guys are like family to me. So good to see you again.
Hi,My observation on CA was that it became impossible to answer a non-Orthodox inquiry about theology or Traditions without compromising the rules the Moderator felt were violated. They wanted us to refraim for using Orthodox Catholic and the word Catholic is it refers to us. We say the Creed each Sunday and to be denied our faith on that forum was to me at least a rejection of our beliefs. We did have some very good debators on CA and I think they held up to most if not all questions posed to them very well. It wasnt our goal to convert anyone because that was part of the forum's rules but as chance always has it, those who were interested in our ancient faith began to investigate our faith and read up on things and found out that we are the Church as instituted by Our Lord Jesus Christ. The previous moderator was very understanding and maybe too understanding since he was quickly replaced by one who made liberal use of the banning feature there. I had on occassions been the recipient of a few suspensions, which I deserved, but I felt that the old moderator was more than fair to us Orthodox Catholic Christians.JoeS
Using the word Poppycock doesn't make what you are saying true. The fact is that Joe, the moderator constantly allowed the EOs to say whatever they wanted without consequence, while punishing Catholics for defending the Catholic faith. You show your ignorance in that you will not even admitt this when it is blatant.

2My heart is steadfast, God;a
my heart is steadfast.
Let me sing and chant praise.
3Awake, lyre and harp!
I will wake the dawn.b
4I will praise you among the peoples, LORD;
I will chant your praise among the nations.c
5For your mercy is greater than the heavens;
your faithfulness, to the skies.d
6Appear on high over the heavens, God;
your glory above all the earth.
7Help with your right hand and answer us
that your loved ones may escape.
8God speaks in his holiness:*e
"I will exult, I will apportion Shechem;
the valley of Succoth I will measure out.
9Gilead is mine, mine is Manasseh;
Ephraim is the helmet for my head,
Judah, my scepter.
10Moab is my washbowl;
upon Edom I cast my sandal;f
I will shout in triumph over Philistia."
11Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me into Edom?
12Was it not you who rejected us, God?
Do you no longer march with our armies?g
13Give us aid against the foe;
worthless is human help.
14We will triumph with the help of God,
who will trample down our foes.
* [Psalm 108] A prayer compiled from two other Psalms: Ps 108:2–6 are virtually the same as Ps 57:8–12; Ps 108:7–14 are the same as Ps 60:7–14. An old promise of salvation (Ps 108:8–10) is combined with a confident assurance (Ps 108:2–6, 13) and petition (Ps 108:7, 12–13).
* [108:8] Holiness: may also be translated as "sanctuary" or as referring to God's heavenly abode.

Attachment bolt recommendations
In typical applications, 8.8 class hexagon head bolts, in accordance with ISO 4014:2011, can be used together with washers. If the load does not act perpendicularly toward the base, it may be necessary to use stronger 10.9 class bolts.
SKF housings can withstand loads resulting from tightening the attachment bolts to the torque values recommended by bolt manufacturers (product tables for bearings on an adapter sleeve and for bearings on a cylindrical seat). They are valid for oiled, but otherwise untreated thread surfaces. SKF cannot guarantee that tightening to the recommended value provides sufficient anchoring. Make sure that attachment bolts, dowels or stops, and a sufficiently strong support can accommodate all occurring loads.

This is a photograph from my own collection. I have to admit up front that I don't know the happy couple. Well, what I mean is that I know who the groom is but I never met either him or the bride (as far as I know) and I am not related to them.
The photograph is in one of those little fold over covers that you get from photographers. There is a description on the cover written by my dad – it says
'Harold Crossland's wedding. Dad's best friend from Rotherham'
The 'dad' referred to in the description is my granddad – Joseph Dawson. He is the chap second from the left – I am guessing that he was 'best man'.
So I did a search on Find My Past and came up with a couple of possibilities.
There is a marriage in the December quarter of 1943 between Harold Crossland and Marian Jenkinson in the Rother Valley registration district.
There is also a marriage in the June quarter of 1947 between Harold Crossland and Marian Smith in the Sheffield registration district.
For those who don't know the area Rotherham and Sheffield are not a million miles apart. I know that my grandparents lived in Brinsworth (part of Rotherham) for a while and I guess that this is where Joseph made friends with Harold.
Of course the wedding could have been held somewhere else completely and I am way off the mark.
My granddad was born in 1903, so, if I am right then he would be either 40 or 44 when these photographs were taken. I am really bad at trying to estimate ages – what do you think?
Are there any clues from the style of clothes?
Leave a comment if you think you can help.

I have been writing content for this blog for several months, have told scores of friends about this endeavor, have been cooking and baking and trying to take pictures of my experiments, but have put off actually "going live." I'm not sure what I've been waiting for.
I made the decision to pull together all of my recipes and cooking adventures and travel after meeting Clotilde Dusoulier in Paris last November for a book reading and signing. If you don't know who she is, you should. She writes Chocolate & Zucchini (she's at the top of my list of favorite blogs…check out her French "edible idioms" if you love the French language as much as I do), and everything I have ever made from her site and cookbooks has turned out well. Coming from me, that's saying a lot. At the signing, she suggested using a blog, at the very least, as a way to keep track of your recipes and maybe to eventually share them with the world. She signed one of her books to me: "Pour Gayle – le bonheur est dans la cuisine! Clotilde" — "happiness is in cooking/the kitchen." More on Clotilde later, but suffice it to say that my visits to France have led to many memorable experiences.
A year and a half ago, I spent about a month taking dance classes in Paris and Nice. At a later time, I'm sure I'll write about the amazing food I ate, the (mostly positive) reactions I got to wearing a Jewish star the whole time, but right now, I'm going to focus on the issue at hand and some words of wisdom I received from one of my dance teachers in Nice. I was taking a jazz and tap dance atelier (workshop) at OffJazz that taught me so much more than dance. Given the world renown of the the school as well at its amazing location, students came from all over Europe and the world to train with Gianin Loringett and other teachers. (I hung out with people from London, Paris, Cannes, Prague, the Hague, Denmark, Brazil, and Cuba, and have gone back to visit a few dancers in their home cities.) What I found amazing, besides the instruction, was Gianin's ability to switch seamlessly from one language to another. I consider myself lucky to speak passable French, but this guy is amazing. Our last week, we had several Italian students in one of our classes and as Gianin was demonstrating some steps, he stopped and stared at one dancer standing back and watching rather than practicing and yelled out, "Non pensare, fare." For the rest of us whose common language was English, he translated as only he could: "If you sit around and think and wait, the train will leave you at the station."
So there we go. I've started my blog. I'm on the train. And since this is about food, I guess I need to post at least one yummy picture. So, here is an authentic salade nicoise from, yup…you guessed it, Nice.

It all started with apples.
Poor apples. They've had a rough go at it this year, and I missed apple picking. Unless you were on the ball, you probably missed apple picking around here too. Luckily, two of the farms at my Monday market still proudly display a full range of red and green and yellow beauties. I buy them in twos and threes and they hold me over until the next week.
My favorite varieties are Jonagold and Honeycrisp. In the afternoon, I pull out a paring knife and balance the dull side of its blade against my thumb, pushing through the rough, unwaxed skin and covering a plate with apple slivers. I pair the slices with a spoonful of sweet creamy peanut butter. Sometimes two spoonfuls.
Last week, I barely saw home, and the apples piled up. I had enough for a tarte tatin. But a tarte tatin can't be eaten alone, so I invited a group over for dinner.
The group grew to ten, the tarte grew to two, and the apples, well, I no longer had enough of them. A quick run to the store for a few more apples, and dinner was on the way.
The guests arrived and we crowded around the table for eight set for ten.
It was a simple dinner. We started with soup. Next up, a kale salad with roasted beets and orange. Another salad brought by a friend. And a tortilla española* that was a last-minute addition when I realized soup and salad might not be enough.
Shoulder to shoulder and hip to hip, we drank wine and prosecco out of tumblers.
Ten soup bowls were swiped with bread, ten plates were scraped with knives. When I rose for seconds, I found on the buffet (also known as a microwave cart hastily cleared moments before everyone arrived) a few kale leaves swimming in a large bowl, a cube of avocado embracing a spoon, and a Molly scratching the last few dark bits of egg and potato stuck to a 14-inch (!) pan.
"Did I not make enough?" I whispered. Molly solemnly nodded.
I looked around. My guests were sprawled on the sofa, chairs, and floor.
Retreating to the kitchen, I pulled out the tarte tatins, apples still tucked under crusts whose edges were tinged with sticky scarlet pomegranate caramel. I covered each pan – first the blue skillet, then the orange – with a plate and flipped. I expected an apple or two to latch on to the skillets. I didn't expect some of the apples to have turned into circles of mush. I guess a few of my mismatched apples** were better for sauce than pie.
I hid in the kitchen for a few moments, thinking. I spooned the clinging apples and mush from the skillets and arranged them as artfully as I could.
A smile on my face and a Times article in my head, I emerged with a tarte in each hand. "Pomegranate applesauce tarte tatin for dessert!"
* The tortilla española. A tortilla española is a Spanish potato omelette, similar to an Italian frittata. I followed Mark Bittman's recipe from How to Cook Everything (the yellow cover). For the recipe from the updated version of Bittman's book of the same name (the red cover) , check out Molly's story of her trip to Spain. Let me know if you're interested in the version I made – I'll gladly whip another tortilla and report back to you.
** The apples. I used a mix of market- and store-bought apples that included Mutsu, Jonagold, Honeycrisp, Gala, and Granny Smith. I did a bit of research and I think the Honeycrisps were the sauce culprits.
Pomegranate apple(sauce) tarte tatin
Tarte tatin is a traditional French upside-down caramelized apple tart. Still obsessed with pomegranate, I found a recipe that combines this tart fruit with this sweet tarte (hehe!). I cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup and the tarte was still plenty sweet. I know that the recipe might seem daunting – make caramel? flip over a burning hot skillet? – but if I can do it, so can you. I've made tarte tatins with pears and tomatoes, and there are a bunch of things I've picked up along the way.
First, the caramel. It's pretty easy to burn the caramel, so you need to watch it closely. If you're afraid the caramel is starting to burn, take the skillet off the heat immediately and assess the situation: let things cool down a bit, dip a fork in the caramelizing syrup, and carefully taste it. Carefully because you don't want to burn your tongue. A slight burnt flavor – think crême brulée – is fine, but if you taste smoke, start over.
Then, the flip. The tarte will be prettier if you flip it just out of the oven. Get out your oven mitts and extra kitchen towels. Place a plate on top of the pan and cover the plate with a towel. Grasp the pan-plate-towel pile with oven mitted-hands, hold your breath for a moment, and turn the whole thing over. Some caramel might spill out onto the towel, but you'll be fine because your hands will be protected. If you want to wait until the tarte cools, it will turn out almost as pretty, but a few apples will probably stick to the skillet. Just scoop them off and put them back on the tarte.
– 1 pie crust or puff pastry (I make this sweet pâte sucrée or pâte brisée, or just buy puff pastry)
– 1 1/2 C pomegranate juice or 1/2 C pomegranate molasses/pomegranate syrup (thickened pure pomegranate juice; don't bother with the ones that add sugar)
– 4-8 of your favorite baking apples, depending on size (you want enough to fit tightly into your skillet); for me, the most reliable are Granny Smith
– 1/4 C (1/2 stick) butter (or margarine for a non-dairy tarte)
– 1/2 C sugar
– large pinch kosher salt
Prep. Preheat oven to 400ºF and let pie crust/puff pastry come to room temperature.
Reduce. Bring the pomegranate juice to a boil until it reduces by a third (down to 1/2 cup ) into a thick syrup. If you use purchased pomegranate molasses/syrup, you don't need to boil anything.
Slice. Peel and core the apples, then slice into halves or quarters. I like halves, but you can fit more apples in if you use quarters.
Caramelize. Melt butter in a heavy oven proof 9- or 10-inch skillet and then sprinkle evenly with sugar. Cook over medium heat without stirring until the mixture begins to bubble all over and turns lightly golden. This should take about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Cook. Tightly fill the skillet with apples, cut side up, and sprinkle with salt. Keep in mind, the apples will shrink as they cook and you might be able to slip in a few more slices midway. Return the skillet to medium heat and cook the apples without stirring until a thick, deep amber syrup bubbles up between the fruit. (OK, even though you're supposed to leave the caramel alone to do its thing, I usually flip the apples once or twice to make sure they soak up the caramel evenly. Just make sure to leave the cut ends up because when you flip the tart, you'll want the rounded sides facing the top.) This will take about 20 minutes. Pour the pomegranate syrup over the apples – the mixture will bubble up. Cook until the juices further thicken. The apples will be a deep burgundy color. Remove from heat. With a spatula, make sure that the apples are tightly packed.
Tuck. Roll out the crust between two sheets of wax paper into a circle one inch larger than the skillet (i.e., leave an extra inch all around). Slide the crust over the skillet and tuck it in around the apples and at the edges of the skillet. The crust doesn't have to be perfect because you're going to flip it over anyway. Cut a few slits in the crust to let air escape.
Bake. Bake the tarte until the crust browns and the juices at the edge are thick and scarlet in color. This takes 25-30 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and let cool for five minutes minute. (If you let the tarte cool for too long, the caramel will thicken and the apples are more likely to stick to the pan. But if you're nervous, just flip it later.)
Flip. Place a large plate over the skillet. Using oven mitts and kitchen towels, hold the skillet and plate together and carefully flip over the tarte. Lift the skillet — if any apples are stuck to the skillet, just put them back into place on the crust. Let the tarte cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
