Encaustics: Special Techniques
~With John Matsushita

Tuition: $240
Level: Open to All Levels
Saturdays, April 4 - 25 (4 weeks) from 9am - 1:30 pm
(with 1/2 hour break)
* REGISTRATION DEADLINE: March 7 based on shipping for specialized materials.
Tuition: $240.00/$280 Non-Members
Supply: $60.00 includes
- 1 pound USP refined beeswax pillets
- Approximately 60 grams damar crystals
- Fair share of other specialized ingredients
- 104 ml of paint in primary colors, white, and 4 earth tones.
Other specialized color cakes, more medium making ingredients, medium, and white will be available for purchase.
Beginning this April, local artist and adventure seeker, John Matsushita, will be teaching a workshop that expands upon the incredible tradition of encaustic wax painting. This class is designed to accommodate the creative interests of students that already have a beginner's encaustic course beneath their belts.
Students will be experimenting with proven recipes and techniques that are less common in working with waxes. These will take them beyond the basics but with a solid knowledge base of the specific capabilities of this medium. Therefore allowing them to push the limits in their personal journeys with wax. There will be a review of foundational material safety practices as some of these new techniques will require even more vigilant safe practices. Class space is limited to 8 students.
John Matsushita is Hawaii born and raised, with a BFA in painting and drawing with sculpture, from the University of Hawai'i - Manoa, with study at the Art Institute of Southern California, Laguna. As a painter he works in molten wax against recycled wooden panels that he salvages. His encaustic paintings have been featured at VAC's Emerging Artist exhibit, The Nature of Nature exhibit, he was the featured artist of the Volcano Village Artist Hui show Edges, he enjoys participating in Hawaii Collaboration, he is currently represented in Volcano Art Gallery, and has commissioned works throughout the country. As a sculptor, he works in wood and stone, which he carves away to reveal landscapes and features of the natural environment that he feels a sense of deep connection with. His artistic focus has also involved volunteer projects with limited resources beyond natural materials that have been foraged from the land itself.
Students please bring:
- Nitrile gloves (~$2 for a 4 pack at Home Depot)
- 2 jars with lids about 8 oz or more
- Empty tin cans (like tuna, etc)
- Some of your favorite tubes of oil paints if you have
- Some of your favorite acrylics if you have
- A respirator (3M brand, model 65021HA1-C or 6211PA1-P or if you have one already check that it is for both vapors and particulates).
***I realize the respirator is both costly (~$35 Home Depot) and intimidating. There is no need for worry, this is just because we value good health and longevity and want to teach best practices. These respirators will also be valuable to you beyond this class as they are vital for protection during lots of other art practices and even home projects. It is an investment of great value that should be in your basic kit for approaching life's amazing opportunities and special experiences.

Don't get me wrong, it has a pretty high increase in stats compared to 2/2 Malev but the chances of it popping out on the black market auction house and you winning it are pretty small and the chances of another piece you need popping out and you winning that one too is even smaller. Is it really that big of a deal if they get 100 something more Agi and a few off stats more than you for a few weeks? Not to mention that anyone that pvps every week will have t2 this season, there is no real reason to complain.
I can agree with this

Genome-wide association (GWAS) methods have identified genes contributing to Parkinson's disease (PD); we sought to identify additional genes associated with PD susceptibility.
A 2-stage design was used. First, individual level genotypic data from 5 recent PD GWAS (Discovery Sample: 4,238 PD cases and 4,239 controls) were combined. Following imputation, a logistic regression model was employed in each dataset to test for association with PD susceptibility and results from each dataset were meta-analyzed. Second, 768 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in an independent Replication Sample (3,738 cases and 2,111 controls).
Genome-wide significance was reached for SNPs in SNCA (rs356165; G: odds ratio [OR] = 1.37; p = 9.3 × 10−21), MAPT (rs242559; C: OR = 0.78; p = 1.5 × 10−10), GAK/DGKQ (rs11248051; T: OR = 1.35; p = 8.2 × 10−9/rs11248060; T: OR = 1.35; p = 2.0 × 10−9), and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region (rs3129882; A: OR = 0.83; p = 1.2 × 10−8), which were previously reported. The Replication Sample confirmed the associations with SNCA, MAPT, and the HLA region and also with GBA (E326K; OR = 1.71; p = 5 × 10−8 Combined Sample) (N370; OR = 3.08; p = 7 × 10−5 Replication sample). A novel PD susceptibility locus, RIT2, on chromosome 18 (rs12456492; p = 5 × 10−5 Discovery Sample; p = 1.52 × 10−7 Replication sample; p = 2 × 10−10 Combined Sample) was replicated. Conditional analyses within each of the replicated regions identified distinct SNP associations within GBA and SNCA, suggesting that there may be multiple risk alleles within these genes.
We identified a novel PD susceptibility locus, RIT2, replicated several previously identified loci, and identified more than 1 risk allele within SNCA and GBA.ANN NEUROL 2012;

CHICAGO Feb 25 The daily trading limit for Chicago Board of Trade oat futures and options will increase to 30 cents a bushel when the markets reopen after the front month contract rallied the 20-cent limit to an all-time high of $5.03 on Tuesday.
This is the second time in less than a week that the CBOT's parent, the CME Group Inc, expanded price limits.
The red-hot oat market continues to make new highs as delays moving the grain out of Canada into the United States have limited the amount available to process into food products or to feed to livestock.
Record crops of wheat and canola, along with frigid weather, overwhelmed Canadian National Railway Co and Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd this winter, resulting in overdue orders for tens of thousands of grain cars.
Technical buy signals, which triggered speculative fund buying, coupled with light trading volume adds to market volatility, traders said.
March oats, which trade at a fraction of the volume of CBOT corn futures, closed at a 47-1/4 cent premium to CBOT March corn , another first. Typically, corn is priced at a premium to oats.

The Pirate Bay was down Sunday
Filesharing website was offline for hours
POPULAR FILESHARING WEBSITE The Pirate Bay was down globally for almost all of Sunday, 6 January.
The website is the target of rightsholding groups including the UK British Phonographic Industry (BPI), but this downtime was related to hardware issues as opposed to censorship.
Other websites similar to The Pirate Bay have closed down recently and the internet, Twitter mostly, was alight with messages speculating that The Pirate Bay had been forced offline like Megaupload.
A message posted by the website to Facebook said otherwise, though. It said, "Yes we're down, but not out! ... Some tech problems. Everyone is pulling every string, cutting red wires and shit, to get the ship sailing again. ETA: tomorrow."
The website has been down before of course and on the first day of this year a message, again posted to Facebook, offered an explanation as to why this can happen.
"Our site is down from time to time. Or suffer a broken css or is slow as hell or is ddosed. You wanna know why? Cause we are nothing like the other sites on the internets most visited top 100.
"Because we are just a few guys and gals running this ship on our spare time. Because we too wanna get drunk, take a vacation and sleep a little too much. Because we don't have an office. Hell, we barely own any servers anymore," it said.
"But we do know how to stay alive. And we hope that you appreciate that fact more, and therefore can stand the discomfort of us being down a bit now and then. Oh, we run this free of charge too. k? thx, bye." µ

A smart, marvelously drawn account of the bravery of homing pigeons during World War II.
Valiant enlists a squad of loveable birdbrains to turn the classic fighter-pilot formula into an upbeat adventure film loaded with laughs.
While the target audience won't be as familiar with the voice of Gervais as with, say, Eddie Murphy, they'll no doubt love his dirty bird humor.
It's a tale with plenty of spirit and a good heart, and yet, this story doesn't so much soar across the screen as it does waddle.
It's perhaps the first animated kids' film that can claim to be "based on a true story."
The best sequence comes when the gang meet a saucy French lady mouse who works for the Resistance and at moments of high drama sings "Je Ne Regrette Rien" ("Ah!" your children will say. "At last, an Edith Piaf joke!")
Competently done and harmless enough to entertain the tots. It's just that the movie's kind of . . . sparse.
The main problem with this Disney release--which also wastes the voices of Ricky Gervais and Jim Broadbent--is its refusal to recognize the war as anything but an excuse for tomfoolery.
The CG is on the rubbery side, and the backdrops are jarringly 2-D. But Valiant isn't so hard to look at -- it's hard to listen to.
The violence is minimal, and the humor is inoffensive enough for tots, but everything is damned soft--from the fuzzy backgrounds to the enemy's diluted Germanness.
Valiant is voiced by Robots' Ewan McGregor, an actor apparently no longer in a "Trainspotting" mood.
Despite a decent cast of mostly British voice actors and better-than-average computer animation, the movie seems rushed at 76 minutes and is only marginally funny.
It's not as clever as it thinks it is, not as funny or exciting as it should be, and not as engaging as it needs to be to prevent kids from losing interest and parents from falling asleep.
The voice acting is adequate, but it fails to convey the diversity or personality of "Chicken Run" or "Shrek."
Given all its World War II references and parodies, the best audience for Valiant would be addled, octogenarian ex-RAF pilots in the old folks' home.
Fails to get off the ground due to a by-numbers script and dodo-ugly character design.
Unless your child has a close working knowledge of the role of homing pigeons in World War II British espionage, he or she is likely to be bamboozled for the duration.
Valiant is in dire need of some "Shrek"-ian sass, not to mention a drop or two of genuine emotion.
An unconscionably dreary and amateurish-looking thing, and the rote plot and annoyingly predictable script -- a compendium of bird puns, mostly -- don't work nearly hard enough to make up for the hammy awfulness of the images.
The movie makes use of every avian pun possible, a pattern that becomes quickly monotonous and predictable, if not contagious.

Some athletes are Sundance kids
Ahman Green, Dhani Jones and other athletes visit Sundance for fun and business. Story
Updated: February 19, 2007, 2:09 PM ETBy Sam Alipour | Special to Page 2
PARK CITY, Utah -- It is typically during their first morning in town when most newcomers realize they have no clue how to approach the Sundance Film Festival, America's premier showcase for independent film.
For this reporter, the epiphany came during the premiere of the documentary "Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait." Back in 2005, seems that 17 cameras followed French soccer star Zinedine Zidane in "real time" throughout a meaningless match between his Real Madrid and Villareal.

Definition of Seychelles in English:
(also the Seychelles)
A country consisting of a group of about ninety islands in the Indian Ocean, about 1,000 km (600 miles) NE of Madagascar; population 87,500 (est. 2009); languages, French Creole (official), English, French; capital, Victoria.
The islands were uninhabited until the mid 18th century, when the French annexed them. The Seychelles were captured by Britain during the Napoleonic Wars and administered from Mauritius before becoming a separate colony in 1903 and an independent republic within the Commonwealth in 1976.

Paddy Ashdown - along with several other Westminster luvvies - have launched MoreUnited a 'new movement setting out to change British politics'. Using the power of the internet and social media it will crowd fund and provide volunteers for certain candidates that agree with its rather fuzzy centrist -yet progressive - values.

Caron Lindsay on Lib Dem Voice asks some pertinent questions about this project which Paddy and his ilk need to answer quite quickly if many Lib Dems aren't to think this is just a vanity project for an out of touch elite trying to 'get with it'.

But there are also some very interesting parallels with another crowd sourcing project that set out on a similar change prospectus. That was MyFootballClub - complete with the same annoying mid compound word capitalisation.

In November 2007 MyFootballClub - which had recruited 32,000 online members - took over Conference side Ebbsfleet United with the stated aim of transferring decision making from the traditional management to its membership. Teams would be chosen by an on-line vote and transfer and financial deals were similarly subject to crowd sourcing.

Wikipedia reports, however, when the membership came up for renewal people lost interest with just 9,500 renewing for a second year and by 2010, just 3,500 were left and the club was relegated from the conference. Although they were promoted back to the conference the following season, by 2013 MyFC had sold up to actual supporters of Ebbsfleet. The 950 current remaining members now sponsor Slough Town FC.

While the murder of Jo Cox is deeply shocking, our thoughts should be with her young family. But we shouldn't forget that this is not a unique event. Stephen Timms was seriously assaulted at an advice surgery in 2010 as was Cheltenham Lib Dem MP, Nigel Jones in 2000 - where his assistant Andy Pennington was killed.

Andy was also an elected representive - a local councillor for Hester's Way ward - which has somewhat been forgotten in all the outpouring of grief in the Westminster bubble.

The Guardian provides a history of attacks on UK MPs and it is not as rare as some might think.

But we should be grateful in this country - that despite the occasional outrage - we are relatively free from the sort of mass slaughter that is routine in the USA. In this sobering map the outline of the States can be recognised just from the dots of mass killings since 2013. Mass killings are defined as four or more deaths in a single incident. More details here.

Kingston's Tory Council Leader, Kevin Davis is determined to change the face of the Royal Borough with a series of developments of increasing scale, height and numbers of luxury home and decreasing numbers of affordable homes for local people.

Kingston's jet setting Council leader

While cutting youth centres and old folks' homes and putting up the council tax he has set up a £4m fund to encourage even more of his developer friends into the borough. So it was of little surprise that he swanned off to Cannes in March for the annual property and booze fest that is MIPIM spending more than £4,000 of taxpayer's cash in the process.

So what did he get up to during his three day, four night Riviera junket?

According to my FoI request Cllr Davis attended three dinners courtesy of Scape Group, Countryside and the City of London Corporation. He had drinks with the President of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, a 'think tank' (whatever that may be) with the Mayor followed by lunch, drinks courtesy of Barrett and half an hour with ex England centre half Rio Ferdinand - who was apparently doing some sort of a double act with Housing Minister Brandon Lewis. Strangely, Ferdinand appears to have no connection with property development whatsoever, so one can only imagine what the purpose of that meeting might have been.

To be fair to Cllr Davis, it wasn't all pleasure he also packed in a large number of meetings with the great and the good of the UK property scene including:

Countryside Properties - based in Brentwood, Essex

Berkeley Group - based in Cobham (one junction on the A3 from Kingston)

Tellon Capital - based in London W1

British Land - based in London W1 (and currently redeveloping a shopping centre 50 yards from Kingston's Guildhall)

Atkins Global - based in Chelmsford, Essex

Public Sector Plc - based in London N3

Hadley Property Group - based in Covent Garden

Bouygues Development - based in Canning Town

Thinking Place - based in Hull

St William Homes (Berkley) - based in SW8

Barratt London - based in Tower Hill

Transport for London - based in Victoria

U + I - based in Victoria

Anthology - based in London WC2

Buro Happold - based in London W1

Ktesius - based in London W1

Downing - based in Liverpool

Lend Lease - based in London NW1

Ocean Village - appears to be a marina in Southampton

Scape Group - based in Nottingham

One has to ask whether the same could have been achieved with a couple of zone 1-6 travel cards and a day return or two?

Which brings me neatly on to the most curious revelation - Cllr Davis appears to have forked out (from the public purse) £458.07 for a Nice to Cannes return flight. Now Cannes is a mere 17.5 miles from Nice airport and Cannes airport has no scheduled flights. However there is a half-hourly helicopter service.

Azure Helicopter offer just such a service stating gushingly:

"Have you always wanted to make an entry in Cannes like a star? How about to land on the Croisette in a helicopter ? To mark the 2016 Film Festival and other events in Cannes ( MIPIM, CANNES LIONS FESTIVAL YACHTING, etc) AZUR HELICOPTER airline offers flights between Nice and Cannes in just 7 minutes, comfortably, and with stunning views on the Croisette!"
And at 160 Euro (+50 for a hold bag) each way the bill is spookily close to £458.07 once converted to good old British pounds.

According to the Cannes or Bust website the express bus takes less than an hour from Nice airport to Cannes and costs just 33 Euro return (or about 20 quid).

So did Cllr Davis 'make an entry in Cannes like a star'? And did the poor old council tax payer stump up for it? I think we should be told...

Edit - the kind people at the Kingston's Residents Alliance Facebook page have pointed out Ferdinand does indeed have a property connection through his initiative called the Legacy Foundation.

It's been a while - but not as long as it has taken Hibs to win the Scottish Cup (which is the oldest football trophy in the world, by the way), so it's definitely time for a tune.

So here's some football fans celebrating winning it after 114 years. It is of course the Friday favourite to end all Friday favourites...

The benighted burgers of Kingston, who already stump up the highest Council Tax in London, are soon to stump up a further £60k for a new spin doctor for the Tory administration.

The gushing language declares they are 'looking for someone who is fully conversant with the full range of communications tools' but with four typos in just six sentences proof reading is clearly not one of them...

Here's the full text:

There has rarely been a more challenging or opportune time to work in local government communications. Seismic changes in the way local government is operating means that it is no longer sufficient to simply tell local people and others what the council is doing - we need to really engage and win peoples support for a shared vision for the local area.

The ever excellent Liberal England - possibly overstretching his geographical remit - dug out some excellent footage of disused railways in Edinburgh, including footage of Balgreen Halt on the Corstophine branch line.

But Balgreen Halt is not really disused anymore with a tramstop of the same name on the increasingly successful Edinburgh tramline. And my visit to Edinburgh last week wouldn't have been complete without a ride on the tram coincidently to Balgreen:

Labour Uncut has a rather wonderful and humourous A-Z that probably reveals just a little too much of the internal machinations of Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party. It's just too good not to share.

On Monday I spent an enlightening day at Lib Dem conference. I've been mulling over events then and the various media reports and analysis for the week and although the majority are positive about the party's future I'm less sure.

The lack of corporate sponsors and the wide open spaces of the exhibition areas might have suggested a party on its knees - but the stories of hundreds of first time delegates and new found confidence were only slightly exaggerated by party bigwigs. But, but but...

The Trident debate was a great traditional political occasion - more than a thousand voting delegates packed into the hall, party big wigs wheeled out to speak in front of the camera - including the venerable (but increasingly mistified Shirley Williams) - and also deployed at the back of the hall to vote down the insurgents.

The vote was won narrowly on a single and very old argument - that the Lib Dems needed to have serious policies if they wished to be taken seriously as a party of government. There were some other really silly arguments including those of Gerald Vernon-Jackson who said we needed to spend £100bn on a weapons system to stop the poor in Portsmouth going to Tory foodbanks, but they were rightly discounted.

The reality is with just 8 MPs the Liberal Democrats are a very long way from being considered a 'serious party of government' in Westminster. They are also a long way from government in Edinburgh and Cardiff. Tim Farron gets to question David Cameron once a month alternating with the DUP, Plaid Cymru and the Greens.

The reality is actually the Lib Dems are a long way from being considered a serious party of opposition. So the party need to stop playing by the old rules. Having a small number of clear positions - different to Westinster establishment - would be a good place to start. Unfortunately the leadership flunked it in Bournemouth on Trident.

Today's budget rather gives the lie to the Lib Dem 'Scooby Doo' message of 'look what the Tories would have done if it wasn't for the meddling Lib Dems'.

The budget contained two major public policy changes. Firstly switching the focus from the government subsidising low pay to the government forcing employers to pay a living wage. And secondly lengthening the period of fiscal consolidation to smooth the public spending cuts. These two changes would almost certainly (rightly) have been supported by the Lib Dems if they had remained in government (and the latter was basically the party's economic position two months ago).

The fact that both leadership candidates slammed the budget on the basis that the Tories were returning to right wing form without the Lib Dems was as predictable as it is wrong. And it is extremely worrying for the future of the party that both contenders simply basically rehashed the disasterous Coetzee/Clegg messaging - the messaging that was comprehensively rebuffed by the electorate a few weeks ago.

The Scooby Doo message was ineffective as it relied on people understanding a bunch of imponderables - it's impossible to judge the effects of things that didn't happen. And it was part of a wider failure of the Clegg leadership of failing to define a distinctive Lib Dem agenda for government meaning people could not tell what part of the coalition policy was down to which party.

But now that Osborne and the Conservatives have comandeered a fairly major part of both the Lib Dem and Labour economic policy and are likely to dominate the economic centrist space for the foreseeable future some rethinking is needed - and fast.

I don't expect Labour to come up with any credible rethink, but the Lib Dems must. If whoever wins the leadership can't find a new and better vision for the economy that understands the values being promoted by Osborne's budget today, then there is little hope for the party.

I've voted for Tim Farron.

It was a pretty easy choice - Tim clearly understands a different direction is required. One that builds from the grassroots up.

In contrast Lamb is campaigning as if we narrowly lost out in the election and with a bit of refining our messages, government is again around the corner.

But strangely if the party had just narrowly lost out and some of the party's big guns had held on - Steve Webb, Ed Davey, Lynn Featherstone etc - a leadership contest would almost certainly have been held involving one of more of them, Tim Farron but probably not Norman Lamb. He's only in the race because of the lack of other credible candidates.

Back in 2012, I first warned of the existential threat the party faced if it carried on in government as it had been doing. It sadly did. And it was routed as a result.

The Lib Dems are now a minor Westminster party - scrabbling around with the DUP and Plaid Cymru for time and traction. Its profile as a national political force has gone and the credibility it had in appearing to challenge to win parliamentary seats has been lost. A Westminster insider strategy won't magic that back and merely not being in government any more won't win back the lost voters - witness Labour gaining another Lib Dem council seat in a by-election in Cambridge last week.

The party needs to park its Westminster ambitions - use what's left of its troops to fight a guerilla war on the green benches and make as much nuisance as it can to the big parties. But all the party's resources need to be focussed on building a mass liberal movement - using the opportunity of the Euro referendum to make the liberal political case across the country - just like the SNP used the indyref for the nationalist cause.

But although I think Tim realises the scale of the challenge the party faces I remain unconvinced he knows how best to go forward - the pull of the Westminster establishment is strong - witness his recent appointment of those arch policy wonk insiders - Duncan Brack and Neil Stockley.

Changing policies is simply rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

The party needs to reinvent politics itself - finding new ways to communicate and building the skills and expertise of its members and supporters to enable new political solutions, policies and organisational structures to emerge.

It's year zero for the Lib Dems and whoever wins the leadership needs to understand things will never be the same.

Simon Danczuk - Labour MP for Rochdale - is a typical northern Labour tribalist who can see no good in his political opponents. However he has worked tirelessly to uncover allegations of child sexual abuse in high places - even though the alleged perpetrators are dead in the case of Cyril Smith or demented in the case of Greville Janner.

But earlier this week he claimed that Janner had sexually assualted boys in the Palace of Westminster in the 1980s.

Now whether this timing is deliberate or not, it does mean that Lib Dem Leadership candidate Norman Lamb will be asked what he knew given he was, bizarrely, Janner's research assistant for a year at the time the abuse was alleged to have taken place in Westminster.

There is, of course, no suggestion Lamb was involved, but given David Steel is still quizzed about what he knew about Smith's alleged activities, Lamb if he wins won't be able to ignore similar probing..

Well you would have thought so from this pathetic article defending those responsible for the party's election disaster by using the excuse of legitimate concerns about staff welfare.

What Caron Lindsay and the Lib Dem Voice Team are failing to realise is that by letting Ryan Coetzee, Tim Gordon, Hillary Stephenson and other senior (and highly paid) exectutives avoid legitimate criticism of their decision making, they are doing the party a big disservice. Those at the top are not 'party staff' - they are executive management and it was their actions and decisions that determined the Lib Dem campaign. They were the people carrying out the 'comfort' polls, writing the messaging, and advising the leadership on what to say and when. In short they were responsible for the failure of the 2015 campaign. And they should take responsibility and resign (like the Leader of the Party).

One final thought - if Coetzee is such a shrinking violet and unable to take criticism why then would he write a superficial and frankly deluded article for the Guardian (and reproduced by LDV) basically saying he ran the best possible campaign and wouldn't even change it now knowing its result.

If you're foolish enough to try and polish a turd in public - then don't complain when several buckets of the stuff get thrown back in your direction.

The reopening of the Waverley route proceeds apace with the first test run along the entire length of the line. Borders Rail has some footage.

An interesting question for any railway anoraks out there. The locomotive is number 37 604 and a quick check on Wikipedia  says they were built between 1960 and 65 and were frequently used in Scotland. Therefore the question is - had 37 604 ever run over the Waverley route before this journey?

Watch Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck Jam
Posted December 12th, 2013 @ 11:04am
In 1983, some of the greatest rock musicians of all time came together for a special cause. There was a concert in England for Action into Research for Multiple Sclerosis (ARMS).
The first show featured Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Steve Winwood, and Jeff Beck. After the first concert, Clapton, Page, and Beck came to the United States for a handful of shows for ARMS.
The concerts featured individual sets from each musician followed by a group jam. A few videos of the shows exist on YouTube.
First, watch Jimmy Page play an instrumental version of Stairway to Heaven. He is eventually joined by Clapton and Beck. Then, watch all three guitarists jam on Layla.

RE: Wrong photo
There must be a mix up, because I have no Tobe, Littlejohn, Burton, or Rapp in my names that are under my management. I don't know what's going on. Please recheck it all, because I can't find them. Thanks.

Still looking for William and Susan, James & Sarah Carpenter.. Going to meet Barbara later this month and take a look at the cemetery where James' memorial has been entered. Do you want me to transfer Fannie Esther Fulton and her Scott husband to you?

Rich Hill Cemetery, Lamar Co., Texas
In regards to your photo requests for the Littlejohn family and others buried at Rich Hill B Cemetery, in Lamar Co., Texas.:
"Rich Hill Cemetery is located in the northwest quadrant of the county and is believed to be a Black cemetery. It is in Block 16 of the Lamar County Road Map produced by American Drafting and Services revised December 1993. It is located on the south edge of Pat Mayse Lake property and can only be reached by water. There are only four wooden stakes inside a barbed wire fence. Reportedly the community of Rich Hill was located near here before Pat Mayse lake was filled. All burials were supposed to have been moved to Fairland/Littlejohn Cemetery before the lake was built, but others have reported that this was not done. This cemetery was visited in March 1992, by Butch Mills.
GPS coordinates are 33� 49' 21.3780" N, -95� 34' 7.2264" W. (Latitude 33.822605 and Longitude -95.568674)
Oldest known burial is that of Carrie Hunter Littlejohn who was married to Bethel Littlejohn. Using other records to compile the information, there were a total of twenty-four known burials here:". Source: gen.1starnet.com. In Cemetery Records.

Barbara Littlejohn, Aberdeen Scotland
hello, my great grandmother was Annie Littlejohn Robertson. I am also related to Barbara Littlejohn, Aberdeen. My great grandfather was married to Annie, Fredrick O Robertson. There are still a few relatives, living in New England. Do you have any more info on the Littlejohn or Robertson families?

Cleveland - OKC
Hi, I just took care of the photo req. I sent you some info. that I just realized I overlooked something. I said the office had no record of Clarence, but I overlooked in my notes that he showed a John L. (who is listed) and a John...there is no marker for John. Maybe he is CLARENCE. I will get the death date for him. Is that scenario likely? let me know if you need anything else. G

Hi M. Littlejohn. I grew up in Wolfforth, TX and I am only 8 miles from there. I am willing to try hand find the infants grave that you are seeking.
I understand from looking at the memorial page that the cemetery claims to have no record of this baby but I am willing to look if wish for me to.

Wives of William's son-question
I am assembling a biography about William's son Chase. I would be grateful for information about Chase's marriage to Mary Ellen �Nellie� Koen (1857-1897)and to Jane "Jennie" Koen (1865-?). Some sources say they were sisters born in Washington Territory. Gilbert Gia, Gilbertgia.com

Littlejohn Cemetery, Chicota
Were you the one who started the home page for this cemetery? If not, do you know who did?
I have been trying thru Findagrave for several months (three tries now)now to add the following to the page with ZERO results
Littlejohn Cemetery is located in the northwest quadrant of Lamar County (and should not be confused with Fairland-Littlejohn Cemetery within the city of Paris). It is near the community of Chicota about 4 miles northwest of the intersection of Highway 271 and Farm Market Road 906. GPS coordinates are 33.87382 Latitude and -95.57639 Longitude. In Paris, at the intersection of Loop 286 North and Hwy 271 North, take Hwy 271 north for 12.8 miles to the intersection with FM 197 in Arthur City. Take FM 197 westerly for 3.9 miles to the intersection with CR 36850, Take CR 36850 northwesterly for 3/10 miles to the intersection with CR 35910. There is a cemetery access road here to the north. The cemetery is 99 yards north and does have an overhead sign. The cemetery was surveyed on 12 May 2014 by Lawrence and Sue Dale and pictures were made of all markers that were in place at the time.
Note that this also has GPS coordinates and that feature no longer works on Findagrave for us to add the cemetery map.
If you can possibly help on this it will be greatly appreciated.
