Wuff Wuff, I think you can guess from the barking it's me Eva! On the weekend Abby took some photos of me! Sadly, none of them are me in the snow, but I'll try to get at least ONE photo of me in the snow this week.
I see a cat that needs to get scared. Licks and Wags, Eva.

Just a Question, God.
Me: God, can I ask You a question?
God: Sure.
Me: Promise You won't get mad.
God: I promise.
Me: Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do you mean?
Me: Well, I woke up late.
God: Yes.
Me: My car took forever to start.
God: Okay.
Me: At lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait.
God: Hmmm.
Me: On the way home my phone went dead just as I picked up a call.
God: Alright.
Me: And on top of it all, when I got home I just wanted to soak my feet in my new foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did you do that?
God: Well, let Me see, the Death Angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.
Me: Oh ...
God: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me: (ashamed)
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I didn't want you to catch what she had; I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me: (embarrassed) Okay ...
God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give you false information; I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be protected.
Me: (softly) I see, God.
God: Oh, and that foot massager ... it had a short that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I'm sorry, God.
God: Don't be sorry; just learn to trust Me ... in all things, the good and the bad.
Me: I will trust You.
God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is always better than your plan.
Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, thank You for everything today.
God: You're welcome, child. It was just another day being your God, and I love looking after My children.
I liked it. The notion that God has protected us from things we will never realize is marvelous, really.
I suspect, however, that if I was God, I would have responded differently. "Are you asking Me about when you woke up late in that bed I provided and when the car I provided that so many on the planet don't have didn't start on your cue? Did you really want to ask Me about that the sandwich that took longer than 5 minutes when millions don't get sandwiches? Do you really want to know about a phone that you've never thanked me for or about a foot massager (of all things), a luxury you don't recognize? Are you sure these are the questions you want to ask? 'Cause I can tell you, but I'm almost baffled by these shallow problems you're bringing up."
I suppose that might be the reason that my kids don't ask me these kinds of questions, eh?

You could have answered with a question... like "Where you, O man, when I formed the foundations of the earth"?
- Stan said...
Actually, that's kind of what I had in mind.
Back in June the radio news said that wildfires in Colorado were destroying forests and manmade structures, a drought was causing farmers problems in the Midwest and would be raising the price of agricultural products, and root pests were evolving resistance to pesticide, ruining corn in Illinois. I wondered if any Christians were praying about these things.
Is it your contention that these three things were actually for the best, if only we could understand them comprehensively? Or that the first two were for the best, while the third was a false story because God does not even let evolution happen? Instead of having prayed that God would intervene in these matters, were you best off simply thanking Him that these things were going on?
- Stan said...
Let me see if I understand your question. In your view, 1) there is no god, but, 2) there is a "best" which you haven't defined but is definitely not fires, drought, or root pests. 3) If there were such a being as "God", He would certainly make the effort to conform our world to your version of "best".
I won't try to draw out from you on what you base "good" or "best" with no universal "good" to offer. I would contend that we have a short view and 1) we quite often don't know what "best" is 2) let alone "good". Thus, while Christians are certainly praying about these things, it doesn't mean that God will do what Christians ask, but that God will do what is best for His purposes.
By the way, I was unaware that "God does not even let evolution happen". Interesting claim. I've never made it. I don't know anyone who has. But I come from a very limited group that operates on a biblical worldview without wild conjecture or fanciful guesses. ;)

Jew Destruction of West And USA--Good Subject For Fetzer Analysis
(Apollonian, 19 Aug 14)
This was great show James. U know, I listen to Alex Jones (InfoWars.com) everyday, the whole show, and it strikes me u do a much better broadcast, generally. Sometimes Alex can be quite lucid on various issues, guns, vaccines and GMOs, etc., but he gets old w. his self-righteousness and pushing Jews and Israel, always knocking Adolf Hitler who merely strove to defend against Jew take-over of the world.
I'm sorry u had to take-down part of the dialectic I was having w. dear "Joannie Edwards," who's obviously a Jew (see below blog-article), who further has the INCREDIBLE chutzpah to declaim and declare unto Christians what Christianity is properly all about, she saying it has to do w. "love," ho ho ho ho
Keep up ur great work.

Tallink ferry operator ready to spend on advertisingThe Estonian ship operator Tallink Grupp AS is planning to introduce a one-day, no-visa-stay in Russia for passengers who use Helsinki – Tallinn – St. Petersburg new boat line for travel to Saint-Petersburg. As the company's press service reports, Tallink representatives are now negotiating with their Russian partners to simplify the procedures to obtain visas.
Tallink management says that the Russians welcome the Estonian proposal, and there are no problems to be expected. Tallink intends to spend 15 million krones (nearly 1 million Euros) on advertising of its new boat line; 10 million krones will go to Russia, and the rest will be spent in Finland and Estonia.

Medical researchers should have the freedom to pay hospitals other than their own to send them patients, according to Malcolm Green, the director of the British Postgraduate Medical Federation.
This could only be done if the Government gave hospitals active in research flexibility over what they can do with their funds, Mr Green told the House of Lords select committee on science and technology.
Dr Green said that there were "severe dangers and increasing difficulties" for researchers because of a shortage of patients. Hospital trusts have a financial incentive to keep their patients rather than send them to a hospital which wants to do research on them.
If hospitals were allowed this "absolutely fundamental" freedom over their "packaged contracts money", the money a hospital is allocated for costs such as facilities, infrastructure and services, they could subsidise patients "partially or completely", he said.
"It is even conceivable that they might wish to subsidise them so that they were sometimes paying the costs for those patients to be sent to them."
Dr Green also said that hospitals should set up insurance schemes. These would pay out when they were asked to transfer a patient with a rare disease for research purposes.

True Love Just Jumped Off A Bridge: Will Arnett & Amy Poehler Broke Up
We all have two options:
1. Curse at Lainey at Lainey Gossip for writing a blind item that was made one of hundred percent fact.
2. Grab a soggy waffle and do the slow wall slide before becoming a sad puddle of misery on the floor. Because People just said this:
Amy Poehler and Will Arnett are calling it quits.
The comedic stars, who wed in August 2003, are ending their marriage, a rep for both actors confirms to PEOPLE. The couple are parents to two sons – Archie, 3½, and Abel, 2.
And we have to hear it from People?! Amy and Will didn't even knock on each one of our doors, sit us on the sofa and tell us to hug our favorite sofa pillow (you know you have one) before breaking the news to us gently and telling us that everything okay and we'll see Will every other weekend (because NetFlix will start airing the new Arrested Development episodes early and every other weekend to help us deal with this tragic news)?
Let's just cancel marriage altogether since it's obviously a LIE! Jennifer Aniston had it right for so long. It's best to stay a miserable, lonely, dog-hoarding, dry in the pussy spinster who fills her empty heart with tequila. Because unlike love, tequila never does us wrong. (Cut to me in five minutes, opening up my kitchen cabinet to find an empty bottle of Patron. DAMMIT ALL TO COLD SHIT!)

Last Sunday, we and our BIL opened Café Malerklemmen on DH's motorcycle. The weather was beautiful, but cold – I regret that I didn't put on my Winter mc-trousers. Fortunately, we came early, so we got our lunch quick. I brought my little camera and took some photos of the two-wheeled:
Some had brought their identical twin:
Som had brought their "girl":
Others had brought "the black bitch":
Some had a very thorough army-look:
And some had a pair of tough knight-like gloves:
I love paintbrush art:
The blaze here had some minimal but funny mirrors:
There were some insignia, a.o. No Name, Riverside and the Wild Hogs, as seen here:
As a contrast to the insignias I want to show you the owners' collection of vintage coffeepots:
Driving to the café I thought that this is how life should be on a day off: driving a tour through our lovely Danish landscape, DH once in while reaches back to pat my thigh (you cannot talk on an mc, you point and pat), eat a nice lunch, look at some mc's, have a talk with the other mc-enthusiasts, drive home again and enjoy a homemade latte at Café Stone Corner.

InlandEmpireGirl raised this question for Sibling Assignment #73:
As the school year here is the assignment. Write about a school experience that was significant to your school life. Describe the experience and why it was significant.InlandEmpireGirl remembers being a public poet in the sixth grade here and Silver Valley Girl explores arriving at a deeper understanding of the relevance of essay writing, here.
When I enrolled at Whitworth College in 1974, I don't know what I thought I would discover through my study of Shakespeare. The Shakespeare course was required for my English major. Eileen, whom I would marry in two years, loved Shakespeare and we decided to take the course together.
In my two years at North Idaho College, almost all of my study of literature was concentrated in the twentieth century. I fell in love with the modern study of stories and poems that explored the lonely, alienated condition of the human being in an empty and meaningless world and the great weight of responsibility the modern human being carried to make meaning out of h/her existence in a world devoid of essential meaning.
I had experienced this meaninglessness in the summer of 1973 when I was nearly killed at the Bunker Hill Zinc Plant. The accident resulted from a random human error. It was purposeless, unprovoked, and unrelated to whether I was a good person or to anything I did.
I was blinded. During the days I was blind, my eyes turned inward and within myself I saw the very nothingness that modern writers explored as the one universal truth about life. I confronted the benign indifference of the universe within myself.
I came to believe that forging meaning in such an empty world was up to me. Through my study of literature at North Idaho College, I obsessively worked to figure out the meaning of my life and life itself.
When I commenced my study of Shakespeare, I thought I would find in Shakespeare's plays a well-ordered world, free of the absurdity of the modern world. I thought I would find these plays outdated, irrelevant to the struggles of my existential crisis.
The first day of the course, our professor, Dean Ebner, introduced Shakespeare by telling us that we would be entering into an exploration of the meaning of life. I gasped. Why would studying Shakespeare's plays and his characters involve exploring life's meaning? I thought that "back then" it was figured out and that it was thanks to the obliterating impact of the two world wars in the twentieth century that the meaning of life had been erased. I thought the question of life's meaning was a modern question.
Early in the course, the plays did not shake me up. I didn't feel the tremors of anxiety and doubt about the meaning of life I had felt studying modern literature.
But then we studied Othello. Iago began to shake me. I couldn't believe that an "old writer" from the turn of the 16th into the 17th century could have imagined and created such an amoral and duplicitous character so energetically committed to evil. I couldn't believe Iago's glee.
I was reading Othello in the basement of South Warren Hall and began to tremble. The character Othello was in an existential predicament. The world of loyalty and trust that Othello had assumed to be intact started to unravel. Absurdity, chaos, unpredictablity, all engineered by Iago became the dominant reality of his world. He couldn't make sense of it. Fear and rage fuelled by his outrage at the deterioration of his world view began to destroy him from within himself. Othello lurched from extreme distraction to murderous calm, unable to forge meaning out of his disillusion.
I was getting it. There is no such thing "back then". It hit me. Human beings have always wrestled with how to make sense out life, out of the excruciating demands of mutablility, out of the pain and disillusion of things in life never being what we might idealize them to be.
As we moved forward to Hamlet and especially King Lear, I spent more and more time leaving my dorm room and walking through the November fog that encased the towering pine trees on Whitworth's campus, feeling the passion of Shakespeare's tragedies, exploring how my life at this very young age paralleled the uncertainty, painful self-exploration, loss of idealism, and riddling mysteries Shakespeare brought to life in the actions and interior monologues of these characters.
To this day, thirty-four years later, Shakespeare is the philosopher and artist I look to with the most trust to help me understand what a dicey, often unfair, and inherently contradictory experience human life is.
Shakespeare's plays and poetry helped light my understanding of all other writers and all other philosophers I've studied.
It was through my study of Shakespeare that I have come to understand the complexity of the stories of the Bible and the parables and poetic words of Jesus.
No other writer has so profoundly shaped my perceptions, insight, wisdom, or understanding of love, war, politics, despair, redemption, restoration, human nature, and the condition of human life itself.

Just in time for Fathers Day, Swindon identified their top dad skills from a list of over 20.
The list included cooking, telling bedtime stories, playing sport and providing a regular taxi service, with the top three being DIY (65%), setting up new TVs (41%) and giving advice (36%).
Less practical dad skills such as 'dad jokes' and 'dad dancing' also made Swindon's list, with 1 in 4 (25%) Swindon residents admitting that dancing is a sure way for their dads to embarrass them.
It seems the way to a Swindon dad's heart is through his stomach. A meal out (16%), whisky (10%), beer (8%) and chocolates (10%) all feature in the most popular Father's Day gifts for 2017, along with aftershave (10%) and a book (8%).
Jamie Turner, centre manager at Orbital said: "Father's Day is all about celebrating everything great about our dads. Our research shows that dads Swindon have quite a range of skills for us to be thankful for."
"As Father's Day quickly creeps up on us, we expect to see many shoppers visiting us to pick up their last minute gifts. It seems that local dads are pretty straight-forward to buy for, with aftershave, books, food and drink topping the most popular gifts list. We're sure there'll be a few quirky buys too though!"

And if anyone has a problem with that, they need to register on the fact that Oswald was NOT put into such clothes. Supposedly, both Oswald and Ruby were under arrest for murder, right? So, why wouldn't they be processed the same way? Why was Oswald marched around in just his t-shirt and given nothing in the way of clothes, while Ruby was decked out in cabana clothes?
And, if you don't like my calling them "cabana clothes" well, first, what's life without a little mockery? But second, that's not really the point. It doesn't matter what you call them. The fact is: Ruby got them, but Oswald didn't. And that is the point. And there is no excuse for that. Either they put arrested persons into uniforms of some kind or they didn't. And, all the evidence, past and present, points to them NOT doing it with the one sole exception of Jack Ruby.
This is what it says on Wikipedia about prison uniforms:
A prison uniform is the unified outward appearance of detainees in a situation of imprisonment. It is typically adapted under constraint.
Usually a prison uniform consists of a visually distinct garment, which must be worn by an incarcerated person instead of his or her individual civilian clothes. In most cases it is purposefully designed to establish a visual contrast to the outward appearance of prison officers and set up a clear distinction from civil clothing.
A prison uniform serves the purpose to make prisoners instantly identifiable, to limit risks through concealed objects and to prevent injuries through undesignated clothing objects. It can also spoil attempts of escape as prison uniforms typically use a design and color scheme that is easily noticed and identified even at a greater distance.
From reading the above, you can readily see that Jack Ruby's cabana outfit in no way met the criteria of a prison uniform.
It cannot be claimed that that was the standard practice at the Dallas City Jail because it wasn't and it isn't. It had to have been done for a Ruby-specific reason. And that reason was that his arrest clothes posed the danger of exposing the ruse. Jack Ruby was not the garage shooter of Lee Harvey Oswald.
However, this was a rather subtle ploy, and it took me a long time to figure it out. But, not at all subtle is the ridiculous contention that they confiscated his underwear minutes after the shooting.
Ruby's gun was still smoking, yet, all they could think about was getting his drawers and replacing them? It is Theater of the Absurd, people. It is a farce beyond anything ever known. It is screaming and hollering FRAUD! And anyone who can't see that is either extremely obtuse, or they are working for the other side.

Final edit..
So today we was ready to make our last and final edit to our thriller film, I am so excited about this finally edit as it gives us one final chance to put all our ideas together to make an amazing film. The first we decided to do was watch our film so we could see what changes needed to be made, there wasn't a lot but we did have to change some things. The first thing we decided to was to sort out all our clips and to get them into an order that we would be happy with and to make sure they flowed. This didn't take very long as we knew how we wanted the film go, we showed Phil and Mary our film with the parts we had edited so far. They said it was good but gave us some advice about what we could change to make it better. This advice included changing the start of our film, instead of having Jessica taking photo's of the body straight away Phil recommend that we put pictures of the dead body as the beginning of our film. After thinking about we agreed with Phil's suggestion and we change the beginning of our movie, we realised that this made our film a lot better and it look more real. Another suggestion that our teachers made was the scene in the laboratory, they said it would be better to show the scene when Jessica is collecting DNA from the dead body first then having her experimenting with chemicals and trying to find out how she died. We also agreed with this suggestion, so we changed how we started the lab scene to make it flow better. After we had finished editing we decided to change the speed of our clips, we decided to make them really fast as we thought this would be better so we increased the clips to 200% original they was 100%. This didn't work very well as we realised the film was starting to get very confusing, due to the fact that we changed the speed of the clips. So we decided to change them back to their original speed but we did change the speed of a few scene, by making them longer rather then shorter.

Chapel Hill, NC band Happy Abandon's brand of genre bending art music with deep-rooted pop sensibilities is more finely honed than ever before on their debut long player Facepaint. Working with Jason Merritt acting as co-producer, Jamie Candiloro working as mixing engineer and frequent collaborator Alex Thompson handling keyboards and string arrangements, Happy Abandon captured at once their high flair, their foreboding sensibility and their warmth in a record that is at-once propulsive yet patient, dark and distant while warm and engaging.
Lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Peter Vance's voice, a tinny yet warm throat-yell which bears an eerie resemblance to Jeff Buckley, sits astride Happy Abandon's intensely emotional music, which owes as much to the members' experience in theater, marching bands and orchestras as it does to their myriad musical influences such as Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Bird and The National.
While full of songs about loss, Vance is quick to point out that Facepaint is not a breakup album. Rather, if the album were to have a subject, it would be the relationship a person has to loss and loneliness, which can manifest itself through breakups, homelessness, familial abandonment, and death. These relationships provide the outline for Facepaint, from the emotions they conjure to the settings in which they exist and the Facepaint we all hide behind to make those heartbreaks a little more palatable.

Alchol Inks
Here I've used one of my favourite stamps at the moment with my Alcohol inks..these are really to use.
You apply your chosen colours to the applicator, adding the blending solution if you want the colours less subtle.. and then stamp away!
I like it as you never now how the colours will turn out..every time you stamp you get a different effect.

The World's Largest Ball of Twine Darwin, MN
Here it is, Boys and Girls. The World's Largest Ball of Twine. Isn't it magnificent? I know you've been waiting for it.
Francis Johnson is responsible for this miracle. This guy spent 4 hours every day for 39 YEARS wrapping some twine into a ball. Dude, are you mental? I calculated it. Four hours a day, and let's say that he took Saturday and Sunday off, is 1,040 hours a year. Multiplied by 39 years, that's 40,560 hours. Over 40,000 hours spent rolling twine INTO A BALL!!! Didn't he have a job? Or a wife and kids? Or anything, absolutely anything else to do?
If I had four hours to kill every single day, you can bet your ass I would find something a hell of a lot more exciting to do than make the world's largest cat toy.
There is another enormous ball of twine located in Cawker City, KS. According to Roadside America, "These balls have become symbols of civic pride for a few lucky communities." Oh, I got jokes, but who needs 'em?
How unfair is it that the same state boasts not only the world's largest twine ball, but also is home to one of the World's only double decker outhouses?
They also have this and this. That corn maze is pretty bad ass. Who knew Minnesota was such a hot bed of tourist attractions?
We're gonna make a pit stop at the Larry Craig Solicitation bathroom and we're picking up souvenirs at Eichten's Cheese-n-Bison so bring some spending money.
I wanna go see some humongous fake cows too.
Them's some tig ole bitties.

COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUEv.CHELSEA PRODUCTS, INC.
Author: Staley
Before MCLAUGHLIN, STALEY and HASTIE, Circuit Judges.
STALEY, Circuit Judge.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has petitioned for a review of two decisions of the Tax Court.*fn1 The principal issue presented is whether Section 45 of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C.A. § 45, authorizes the Commissioner to combine the net income of three corporations with that of taxpayer where all are owned by the same interests. We are in accord with the Tax Court's conclusion that Section 45 was erroneously applied.
Between 1941 and 1944, taxpayer was engaged in the manufacture and sale of fans and blowers under the name of Chelsea Fan & Blower Co., Inc.*fn2 During this period the sole stockholders, officers, and directors of taxpayer were William J. Lohman, Sr., who held 50% of the common stock outstanding, and his two sons, Eugene W. and William J., Jr., each of whom held 25%.
In 1944 the three Lohmans, after consultations with their attorney, decided to separate taxpayer's manufacturing functions from its sales. The new plan was carried out by forming a sales corporation in each of three states: Missouri, Georgia, and New Jersey. These new corporations bore the respective names Chelsea Fan and Blower Company of Missouri, Chelsea Fan & Blower Company of Georgia, and Chelsea Fan and Blower Co., Inc. Each of the sales companies issued 1200 shares of stock at $1 a share, which was subscribed to in equal amounts by each of the three Lohmans. As in the case of taxpayer, the three Lohmans constituted the Board of Directors of each of the sales companies during the taxable years involved. At the same time, the taxpayer changed its name to Chelsea Products, Incorporated, and thereafter confined its activities principally to manufacturing.
Prior to the creation of the new corporate structure in 1944, taxpayer had sold its products through its officers and through "manufacturer's agents." Taxpayer had entered into contractual arrangements with these agents whereby they were paid commissions of about 10% on sales. After July 11, 1944, taxpayer no longer employed these manufacturer's agents. On that date the sales companies were designated exclusive agents, each company being assigned a different area of the country, and they in turn proceeded to employ sales agents. The arrangements between taxpayer and the sales companies were formalized by written agreements entered into between taxpayer and each sales company. These agreements, signed by William J. Lohman as president of taxpayer and Eugene W. Lohman as vice president of the sales companies, provide that each sales company is to "employ a sufficient number of salesmen to properly canvass its territory" and is to be charged the list price less 50% and 25%. The former discount was the standard one given by those in the industry to wholesale jobbers and was passed on to the wholesale jobbers who bought the products. The 25% discount, the Tax Court found, includes the 10% commission normally paid to the agent, thus leaving 15% for the operation of the business of the sales companies.
Although the Missouri and Georgia companies had mailing addresses in their respective states of incorporation, neither had an office there. Each of the sales companies maintained its office in New Jersey at 1206 South Grove Street, Irvington - the same address which had been occupied by taxpayer. Each of the companies had separate books and records and separate bank accounts. The records of the sales companies were kept by the same bookkeeper who kept taxpayer's books and were audited by an outside accounting firm.
During the taxable years involved, all the fans and blowers sold by the sales companies were manufactured by taxpayer. A sales agent, upon receiving an order, would send it to Irvington, N.J., to the sales company which employed him. The order was then turned over to taxpayer which shipped the merchandise directly to the customer and invoiced the sales company. The latter, in turn, submitted an invoice to the customer and received payment from him.
The business reasons which prompted the organization of the sales companies are set forth in the record. The attorney whom the Lohmans consulted in 1944 testified that he had advised them that taxpayer's tort liability arising from accidents in the use of the fans could thereby be "minimized." The record also reveals that the Lohmans had intended that the sales companies establish assembly plants in several states in order to reduce freight costs. Further, the Lohmans believed that sales, especially in the South, would be increased if promoted by a local firm.
The Commissioner determined that there was a deficiency of $110.58 in taxpayer's income tax liability and $37,091.85 in its excess profits tax liability for the year 1944. He also determined that there was a deficiency of $165.62 in its income tax liability and $25,519.13 in its excess profits tax liability for the year 1945. In arriving at these deficiencies, the Commissioner allocated the net income of the three sales companies to that of taxpayer. The latter then sought a redetermination before the Tax Court. The Tax Court found that each sales company was a business enterprise separate and distinct from taxpayer and that no part of the income of the sales companies constituted income to it. Moreover, that Court determined that the principal purpose for the organization of the sales companies was to carry on business and not to aid taxpayer in evading or avoiding Federal income or excess profits taxes. The Tax Court, five judges dissenting, held that the Commissioner's action was not authorized.
The Commissioner asserts that he acted within the broad discretionary power conferred upon him by Section 45, which section reads: "Allocation of income and deductions. In any case of two or more organizations, trades, or businesses * * * owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the same interests, the Commissioner is authorized to distribute, apportion, or allocate gross income, deductions, credits, or allowances between or among such organizations, trades, or businesses, if he determines that such distribution, apportionment, or allocation is necessary in order to prevent evasion of taxes or clearly to reflect the income of any of such organizations, trades, or businesses." (Italics supplied.)
Section 45 has been a part of our Revenue Laws since 1928.*fn3 It is in some sense an offspring of Section 240(f)*fn4 of the Revenue Act of 1926, which gave the Commissioner the right to consolidate the accounts of businesses controlled by the same interests where he finds it necessary to make an accurate distribution of profits and deductions.*fn5 Section 240(f) was a part of the Consolidated Returns section of the 1926 Act. In drafting the new Section 45, important changes were made and, significantly enough, the offspring became a new section, separate and apart from the Consolidated Returns section.
Section 45 grants to the Commissioner power to allocate "gross income, deductions, credits, or allowances". There is no mention of authority to disregard completely the corporate entity by combining the net income of controlled corporations. The plain language of Section 45 must prevail.
The scope and purpose of Section 45 is clearly set forth in the Treasury Regulations. Treasury Regulation 111, § 29.45-1 (b) states: "The purpose of section 45 is to place a controlled taxpayer on a tax parity with an uncontrolled taxpayer, by determining, according to the standard of an uncontrolled taxpayer, the true net income from the property and business of a controlled taxpayer. * * * The standard to be applied in every case is that of an uncontrolled taxpayer dealing at arm's length with another uncontrolled taxpayer. * * It is not intended (except in the case of the computation of consolidated net income under a consolidated return) to effect in any case such a distribution, apportionment, or allocation of gross income, deductions, credits, or allowances, or any item of gross income deductions, credits, or allowances, as would produce a result equivalent to a computation of consolidated net income under section 141." The Report of ...

Orienting a fixed-site antenna is sometimes just as challenging as accurately positioning a mobile antenna – especially if any of the following is true – or you'd like to be true – of the site:
SureShot IV – Receive is the control solution for each of the conditions listed.
AzEP's various SureShot IV – Receive models are specifically designed for custom configuration and application-specific hardware/software upgrades to meet the demanding needs of its diverse user base whether commercial, military or public safety.
SureShot IV – Receive products are generally characterized as "responsive." They respond to "requests for service" from a link partner (normally a mobile link) or are controlled remotely from a station, HQ or other coordinating location. That said, there is plenty of power and flexibility built into each SureShot IV – Receive so it can change with your changing requirements.
Active tracking is an excellent example of responding effectively to a challenging request for service. Once ordered to track, a SureShot IV – Receive will locate the vehicle – either a helicopter/airplane or a moving ground vehicle by "pinging" it for GPS data. Based on the distance and speed of the target, SureShot IV – Receive will vary the period between position updating pings to ensure the tracking antenna stays on-target. Alternately, SureShot IV – Receive will use positioning data in the incoming signal. If for any reason that signal is lost, SureShot IV – Receive immediately pings for location in order to reestablish communication.
In a typical fixed site installation, SureShot IV – Receive relies on the antenna's own position detection hardware (whether potentiometers or indexing system) to determine antenna azimuth and elevation. In some instances, the same sensitive and highly accurate (±1°, vertically and horizontally) sensor module used in our Mobile products is used to continuously report orientation of the site's antenna. Either system allows SureShot IV - Receive to position the antenna with speed and precision.
We're happy to customize SureShot IV Receive for your specific application and requirements.

Clint Dempsey scored two goals as Seattle Sounders FC win over Colorado Rapids 4-1
Sigi Schmid – Seattle Sounders FC Head Coach
(Opening Statement…) "We're obviously happy with a win, pleased with how we played. I thought our play overall was very good, I thought our combination play was very good. It was a lot of fun out there for each other-working, playing off of each other. [I] wish we hadn't give up a goal- I wish we had a clean sheet, but the offense was very good."
(On the connection between Martins and Dempsey…) "You always hope for that at the end of the day. It is something that we really try when we train-whether it's 6 v. 6 or 8 v. 8-we always try to put them together so they can look for each other and you see that showing in the game. The ticky-tack stuff they combine with is pretty pleasurable to watch. Knowing each other and knowing they'll move for each other, they'll combine, so that is our hope."
(On Martins and Dempsey mixing up their combinations…) "I think they are being smart about it. Sometimes they will play short and other times they will play it out to the wing. I think our crossing today should have been a little bit better at certain times, especially when we got to the end where we were hitting balls on the ground. I don't think they are overdoing it, but they are out there and when you're having fun you're having fun."
(On the late first half goal…) "The timing of the goal was very important at the end of the half. We had already figured out what we were going to say at halftime and we felt that we had played really well. We didn't let many-if any-looks on goal and we were getting closer. We felt confident that if we keep playing the way we're playing and sharpen up we'll get more goals. It was great getting it before halftime."
(On the defense moving forward…) "I think it's a balance we have. People do focus on [Martins and Dempsey] and they forget about us bringing the ball around. I thought (Dylan) Remick came forward really well. Looking back his runs forward were really good. DeAndre (Yedlin) always comes forward and that provides good balance between our attacking wide play."
(On Leo Gonzalez's injury…) "Leo has a hamstring injury right now so we're waiting for it to get better."
(On the team's defensive performance…) "Defensively we played well. Obviously we are disappointed to give up that goal but at that point we are leading 3-0, so maybe there was a concentration lapse. Up until that point, at 3-0, we didn't give them much of anything. But we still need to make sure we can get that zero over the line, but it will come."
(On Dempsey's scoring streak…) "It's pretty hot. In 2002, Carlos Ruiz had a pretty incredible run, but Clint's got eight goals in six games, one he played off the bench, so it's as good as streak-I don't know what the records are-as you'll see."
(On the performance of the midfield…) "I thought they played well. I thought (Gonzalo) Pineda did well. (Marco) Pappa, we like him on the left sometimes, and we like him at right at times-him and Lamar (Neagle) have the ability to switch sides. I thought he did a good job helping us out defensively, but he is an attacking player, so he contributes to our team by keeping the ball and keeping it balanced. I thought Pappa played his best game of the season for us today and I thought Pineda has been very, very steady."
(On Dylan Remick's performance…) "I thought Dylan played really well…he completed his passes to put him in good shape, even on the sequence of Dempsey's first goal it was Dylan's effort that kept the ball alive."
(On Neagle playing wide…) "Even as a wide player he's looking to get goals. Last year he only got goals when he played up front, but now he is getting goals coming in wide. If you can get 8-12 goals from a wide guy, that's pretty good production. In the past we have gotten that here… We like to have him with us on attack, because wide guys can be dangerous. He is starting to time his runs inside a little better."
(On Brad Evans getting late minutes…) "It was really a situation of Brad's training of about a week and a half, so maybe there's six full trainings he's had. I talked to Jurgen (Klinsmann) yesterday and we're going to give him some minutes in the reserves game tomorrow…. What we are trying to do now is build his fitness back, and I know Brad's mentality, he will give you everything he has when he steps out on the field. And I know my mentality with Brad is that I tend to push him sometimes. I didn't want to put him out there in a situation where gets pushed too hard and causes a reoccurrence. After a full week of training I hope to see him again next week."
(On getting a home victory…) "It was fantastic. We've talked about it-our fans are fantastic and we hadn't given them a lot to cheer about the last few home games the way the results went, but we don't think we played poorly in those games, so it was just a matter of getting the result and matching it with a performance. Today we got the result to match our performance and I think everybody that was here had an enjoyable time."
(On defeating Colorado…) "Colorado has played well. They went out on the road and hadn't allowed a goal in 200-plus minutes, and I know Pablo (Mastroeni) has tried to instill defense in his team, so to score four goals and create the amount of chances we did, is important. We want this place to be a fortress. We want people to not be happy about coming here to play.
(On Dempsey and Martins being the top duo in MLS…) "Right now, based on goals, production and points, I think they are. People could make a case for Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan, and those guys together are pretty good, but right now Dempsey and Martins are as good as it gets in our league."
Clint Dempsey – Sounders FC Forward
(On the game…) "It was good work from everybody. Good, quick play, quick transition of the point of attack from the midfield. Getting the ball wide-Pappa and Neagle also contributing, Ozzie and Pineda with the good passing and getting us the ball in good spots and we were able to make things happen with link-up play through each other, as well. I would have to say it's a team effort."
(On how his current hot streak stacks up to others in his career…) "The year I scored 23 with Fulham, I was on a pretty good run there, but it feels good. We're in a good rhythm as a team, we have a good locker room, and it think that shows on the field in our play."
(On the team's current run of good form…) "I think it's our team confidence and getting in a good rhythm of play and building off of that. You can see that the link-up play is really good throughout the whole team and we're creating opportunities for each other. It's not just me and Oba. Other players are making a difference and getting in good spots and we've been able to finish opportunities."
(On getting creative and trying different things…) "That's what it's about. That's when you enjoy your ball the most, when everybody's contributing and everybody feels valued. We didn't get frustrated in the beginning of the first half…we kept plugging away and were able to get that goal going into half that gives you a little bit of a lift and know that coming out in the second half, if we can keep that pressure on them and get some more chances then we'll be able to take the game to them and start putting down some good performances at home."
(On the goal right after halftime…) "That's what you need to put more pressure on them and give them a little more of a mountain to climb in terms of trying to get back in that game. We kind of never took our foot off the gas. We would have liked to have kept a clean sheet, but at the same time there was some good play there and some things that we were excited about in terms of how we're progressing as a team and I look forward to next game."
(On getting a win at home…) "You always want to do well at home. You always want it to be a fortress. You want it to be a place where people know it's going to be difficult to get points here. Getting in a good rhythm has allowed us to come here today and put in a good performance, and now it's about that confidence of playing well at home and continuing to move forward."
(On building a fortress at home…) "You could use different words to describe that home field advantage and making sure it's difficult for other teams to come here…It's a good mentality to have in terms of making sure it's difficult for people to come here and play. We have to use to our advantage, and I think we did that today."
(On rewarding the home fans…) "It's a step in the right direction. It's not just one game…We know throughout the season those performances will add up and we can reward the fans for the atmosphere that they create here because it's not like any other atmosphere I've been around…it's an awesome experience for players to be able to play in that type of environment and shows how far the game has come in the states."

Many of the sights of the region around Lafayette (LA) and the experiences of the people of the region are rooted in the history of the early settlers. We visited the Acadian Village, which is Lafayette's oldest authentic vision of life in 19th century Southwest Louisiana. As the 1978 Village Director, Mrs. Marti Gutierrez, said in a Times Picayune article, "The old ways are worth keeping alive, worth handing down, worth remembering."
Seven of the 11 buildings are authentic homes of the 19th century donated by the families whose ancestors once occupied them. All homes are examples of the ingenuity of the early Acadian homebuilders, complete with wooden pegs, mud walls, hand-hewn cypress timbers, and high-peaked roofs. Each was moved piece by piece and carefully restored.
The Doctor's Museum, which houses a collection of furniture, medical and dental instruments (shown in the first three photos), and diplomas of early doctors, was built in 1890.
Ten acres of farmland have been transformed into a typical 1800's Cajun village with a bayou running through it. Shown here are (left to right) The Castille House, New Hope Chapel, the Billeaud House, and the Blacksmith Shop.
The Castille House was built for Dorsene Castille (circa 1860) in Breaux Bridge, LA. The home survived pillaging by Union soldiers and the ravages of time.
The stairway on the front porch leads to a door to the second floor. Here could be found the bedrooms for the boys in the family.
Shown here is one of the two cypress mantels in the home.
The furniture indicates that a prosperous family lived here.
The New Hope Chapel is a replica of an 1850 chapel. It presents a beautiful, serene place.
The ceiling is built of cypress and is held up by pegs. The floor is made of Louisiana long leaf pine that is about 200 years old.
The main altar originally served St. Anne's church in Youngsville, LA and later St. Joseph's in Milton, LA.
The Billeaud House (below) comes from the Billeaud Sugar Plantation in Broussard, LA. It was built prior to the Civil War. Today it is used as the spinning and weaving cottage. One of the looms is a 150-year-old original; the other is a replica.
The Blacksmith Shop is a replica of a typical shop and is filled with dozens of tongs, pincers, hammers, and an anvil, forge and bellows. These are used in demon-strations by the smitty on special occasions at the Village.
Next door is a storage area for items in need of repair and restoration. We hoped this buggy would be brought back to its original form.
Shown here are (l. to r.) the St. John House, the Leblanc House, and the Thibodeaux House. Note the steep slant to the roofs. The construction of these homes was modeled after the early settlers' homes in Nova Scotia where the winter's snows would slide off the roofs because of the steep slant.
The St. John House dates to 1840 and was built of salvaged cypress timbers from another building.
The house is currently being displayed as a school-house. Desks have been set in the center of the room, some chairs are stored on the walls, and old books, inkwells, lunch pails, and a wooden stove round out the exhibit.
The Leblanc House was built between 1821 and 1856 near Youngsville, LA, and is the birthplace of Cajun politician and entrepreneur Dudley J. "Couzin Dud" LeBlanc.
In 1945, he established the Happy Day Company, which manufactured the popular Hadacol brand health tonic. Hadacol, "with high potency iron, vitamin B1, riboflavin, and niacinamide," had 12 percent alcohol and guaranteed to cure all ills. LeBlanc promoted Hadacol extensively, sometimes using major entertainers as spokespersons.
Shown in the photo on the right of the Thibodeaux House is the small rear "cabinet" room, the daughter's room, which is accessible only through the parent's bedroom.
Constructed in St. Martinville, LA, the Bernard House is the oldest structure in the Village. The section on the left (shown here) was built first (circa 1800) while the section on the right is an addition (circa 1840).
In this home is the best example of the type of insulation used within the homes. It is called "bousillage entre poteaux" (mud between posts).
Upon entry into the addition, there is a large painting of the exile of the Acadians from Nova Scotia in 1755.
The painting in the small rear room depicts their arrival and settling along the bayous of Louisiana in 1764-1765. These paintings were created by Louisiana artist Robert Dafford.
Acadian Village is located on the 32 acres of LARC (Lafayette Association for Retarded Citizens). The Village preserves a piece of early Acadian heritage, and its revenues benefit LARC by providing employment for LARC clients.

I first discovered this blog page through Twitter. Curve Magazine (http://www.curvemag.com/) was advertising there "Real Life Lesbians" campaign and it caught my attention. I clicked and voila, that very cool picture above and major lesbian energy!
This blog is about these two women who are engaged but live in different countries. Megan is currently residing in the UK, while her fiance Whitney is in Hawaii finishing school. They take you through their journey of a long distance relationship and other subjects such as life, love, fashion, and gay rights. Their blog also has many other websites linked to it. Oh, networking is so fun!

text: So I know there is a HUGE thread about these varieties, but it would take me days and days to read them all. I am wondering what the difference between the three varieties are. They all seem very similar, but I am sure that they have differences. My other question would be, are there any great breeders or hatcheries out there that sell a "pure breed"? I have just heard stories of people buying one type and it ending up to be another variety. I live in Central Illinois, so it would be nice to find a breeder close ... if possible. Thanks again ladies and gents!

Bush appointed anti-birth control advocate Susan Orr as acting deputy assistant
secretary for population affairs -overseeing the family planning unit of HHS Monday. She has railed against requiring health insurance plans to cover contraceptives, saying: "It's not about choice," said Orr. "It's not about health care. It's about making everyone collaborators with the culture of death," and "fertility is not a disease." (Because health care is apparently all about diseases.)
Orr will oversee HHS's $283 million reproductive-health program, a $30 million program that encourages abstinence among teenagers, and HHS's Office of Population Affairs, which funds birth control, pregnancy tests, counseling, and screenings for sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.
You can sign a Planned Parenthood petition against her, here, but note that she doesn't require a Senate Confirmation (for readers that actually have a senator), so you may just want to stock up... although hopefully she won't be 'acting' in this role very long. ugh.

At the playground
I was so excited to find this little drawing at my grandma's house. I drew it when i was 6 for an 'art exhibition' at my primary school. If I rememeber well, I'm supposed to be the short haired girl in the middle and the three others are my friends.

What a great find, it needs a special spot on your wall!
Hope your sweet baby girl is feeling better :)
(Oh! And so glad to hear you watch Project Runway too, I just love it. I love the creativity and the fact that they start off equally. I've always thought that if only I lived near a friend who liked it, I would love to play along. As in pretending you are part of the challenge and make your own garment then meet up and wear it while drinking wine and watching the next episode. Wouldn't that be fun?)

watch...unlike the front isn't gold. I can only wear silver, gold,
plastic, etc next to my skin. Great for most jewelry...not so great when
your gold watch is only gold on the part that's seen. Someone told me to
paint the back with nail polish...perferably clear. I don't have
clear...only had pink. So I put the watch on...flipped it over and
painted it with the nail polish as shown. I let it dry for about an
hour, flipped it back over...waited 5 mins...no rash. No itch. No
indication what so ever of the allergic reactions most watches have
caused me. I have other jewelry I'm gonna do this too...and I don't
think I'll be looking for clear...with the colored polish I can easily
see if it's wearing off.
I can now report that's it's been a week and there has been no reaction.

Michael Kors Metaphors!
Episode 6 (You Can Totally Wear That Again)
Michael Kors must be reading my blog because in this week's episode he used almost as many metaphors as similes to describe the outfits he didn't care for. Buckle up because here come both.
"I mean, she's young and cool and you're trying to make her look, I don't know, like she's at the church bring-a-pot dinner."
"She's got an avocado goiter."
"It's like you turned her into, like, Nursing Grandmother Chest."
"The dress looked kind of like a really bad tennis dress gone wrong."
"She's kind of a secretary from 1987 on the bottom."
P.S. The photo I used is not from this episode and it wasn't taken by me.

Hee hee that's awesome that there are actually some metaphors. You should get a t-shirt made that says, "Michael Kors reads my blog!" ;)
I just found out that Tim Gunn is coming to Chicago to promote his new book. I have a super busy week, but I'm seriously tempted to try to rearrange my schedule to go to his signing! I'd love to hear a "make it work" in person!

Oatmeal using brewed Creme Carmello rooibos tea instead of water! Delicious! Add raisins and walnuts and 1/2 cup of skim milk. Oatmeal is an excellent source of fiber and adding the rooibos tea makes it all the more healthier by adding extra antioxidants! Try it this morning for breakfast! Don't have creme carmello? Try another rooibos flavour. Select your favorite here.

Apropos of this Bloggingheads.tv conversation, and the David Brooks column which it references, I'm pondering the question. Reflecting on my own intellectual habits and how they've developed over the past several years, I do note a change, at the very least. I've been an avid reader since elementary school, but when I was younger I was much more likely to get my daily dose of the printed word by spending an hour or two with my nose buried in one kind of written volume or another. In my pre-Internet childhood I plowed through novels, magazines, newspapers, and even my father's old, battered copy of the Encyclopedia Britannica at a prodigious rate, and even once the web came along when I was in high school, and started to really flourish when I hit college, I still did most of my reading this way.
As a result, I did spend a lot of time reading things that required large commitments of time and attention, something which I think has somewhat changed as of late. I read just as much as ever now, but I spend a much higher percentage of my time reading online than I did even five years ago, and I find that has biased me more towards shorter, less consuming forms of reading. I don't know that it's necessarily made me a poorer reader, however.
I do find that for me at least fiction and narrative non-fiction suffer in electronic form - I've tried reading novels, histories, and even short stories online, and have found the temptations and distractions of cyberspace antithetical to the kind of sustained concentration necessary to fully enjoy and profit from them. I find it harder to immerse myself in a world when I'm reading about it on a computer screen for whatever reason. The glare of the monitor starts to bother my eyes after awhile, and it's annoying to have to find my place again in a work that requires multiple sittings if I can't simply flip open to the page in which I've tucked my bookmark. I also find myself missing some of the most relaxing aspects of a lengthy read - the ability to lounge on my side or lie on my back while reading, to go to the kitchen to fix myself a cup of tea with book in hand, even to take a bathroom break without breaking the spell. For these reasons I persist in carrying old-fashioned dead tree reading with me when I go on vacation, and I still have a few bookshelves' worth of volumes around in even my current stripped-down, provisional living arrangement.
This is not so for news stories, expository essays, and other forms of short nonfiction, however. Blogs, electronic media, etc. have a vitality which greatly enhances the appeal and challenge of these sorts of writing; if I read a newspaper column opining on, say, the Affordable Patient Care Act, I'm done after a few paragraphs and regardless of whether I agree or not with the author's perspective have nowhere to go afterwards. Put the same column online, however, and it's likely to come with a comments section featuring numerous provocative responses (and a fair amount of drivel) offered up by other readers, as well as links to other perspectives on the issue, rebuttals, and all the rest. The internet, like a virtual, world-wide university seminar, creates an excellent forum for hashing out ideas with other people, and allows for a richer and more thought-provoking experience in engaging many sorts of intellectual propositions. In those respects, I think that it has the ability to make us better-informed and more engaged readers, not poorer ones.
Ultimately, it's my theory that this dichotomy between the experiences of short-form and long-term reading that explains why computers and the internet are slowly killing off newspapers and print magazines, but it seems unlikely that devices like the Kindle and the iPad will be the demise of print books. For a news article, or an encyclopedia article, a web page may well be a faster, cheaper, and more efficient way of delivering the same content than newsprint or a bound volume, but for a book-length piece of writing it seems unlikely that that will ever be the case. Perhaps rather than making us poorer or better readers, then, the Internet is making us more rounded ones.

An approximation to the heat transfer rate across a laminar incompressible boundary layer, for arbitrary distribution of main stream velocity and of wall temperature, is obtained by using the energy equation in von Mises's form, and approximating the coefficients in a manner which is most closely correct near the surface. The heat transfer rate to a portion of surface of length l (measured downstream from the start of the boundary layer) and unit breadth is given as -½k/(⅓)! (3σρ/μ2)⅓ ∫l0 (∫lx √{T(z)} dz)⅔ dT0 (x), wherek is the thermal conductivity of the fluid, σ its Prandtl number, ρ its density, μ its viscosity, T (x) is the skin friction, and T0(x) the excess of wall temperature over main stream temperature. A critical appraisement of the formula (§3) indicates that it should be very accurate for large σ, but that for σ of order 0.7 (i. e. for most gases) the constant ½3⅓/(⅓) ! = 0.807 should be replaced by 0.73, when the error should not exceed 8 % for the laminar layers that occur in practical aerodynamics. This yields a formula Nu = 0.52σ⅓(R √Cf)⅔ for Nusselt number in terms of the Reynolds number R and the mean square root of the skin friction coefficient Cf, in the case of uniform wall temperature. However, for the boundary layer with uniform main stream, the original formula is accurate to within 3% even for σ = 0.7. By known transformations an expression is deduced for heat transfer to a surface, with arbitrary temperature distribution along it, and with a uniform stream outside it at arbitrary Mach number (equation (42)). From this, the temperature distribution along such a surface is deduced (§ 4) in the case (of importance at high Mach numbers) when heat transfer to it is balanced entirely by radiation from it. This calculation, which includes the solution of a non-linear integral equation, gives higher temperatures near the nose, and lower ones farther back (figure 2), than are found from a theory which assumes the wall temperature uniform and averages the heat transfer balance. This effect will be considerably mitigated for bodies of high thermal conductivity; the author is not in a position to say whether or not it will be appreciable for metal projectiles. But for stony meteorites at a certain stage of their flight through the atmosphere it indicates that melting at the nose and re-solidification farther back may occur, for which the shape and constitution of a few of them affords evidence. An appendix shows how the method for approximating and solving von Mises's equation could be used to determine the skin friction as well as heat transfer rate, but this line seems to have no advantage over established approximate methods.

No stitching to show although I am getting close to finishing a piece. (Finished! scroll down toward end of this post.)
We're having a thunderstorm right now. Wouldn't you know it rains right after I get my lawn mowed. Happens every time.
Sad day for me at the humane society. My Tess got adopted. She went to a good home with another cat to play with so guess I can't be too unhappy. She was such a pretty cat. I know there will be another to take her place soon.
Tobie, my cat, got his nails clipped this morning. He wasn't very happy with me, but Peggy, another volunteer, got them done before he really knew what was going on. He won't be scratching me for a while.
Potluck at church tonight and I have no idea what I'm going to take. I'm not much on cooking, so it will have to be something simple.
Guess I'll go put my biscornu together since there's no tv to watch with the storm passing through. Later...
My first ever biscornu finish. I can see why so many of you are addicted to them. I had fun putting it together. I need more practice, but for the first one I'm ok with it. I used my favorite color purple. It's really more vibrant IRL, but as I've said before, I'm no photographer. I also think I need a little more padding. That's what a practice piece is for.
Thanks for reading my blog.

A sabot (Klomp in Dutch, Zueco in Spanish) is a clog, or wooden shoe, (that was) typically worn in France, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. Sabots are whole feet clogs.Sabots were in the 16th to 19th centuries, associated with the lower classes. During this period, the years of the Industrial Revolution, the word sabotage gained currency. Allegedly derived from sabot, sabotage described the actions of disgruntled workers who wilfully damaged workplace machinery by throwing their sabots into the works. However, according to some accounts, sabot-clad workers were simply considered less productive than others who had switched to leather shoes, roughly equating the term "sabotage" with "inefficiency".
The wooden shoe even made it into beret labels, like the Bortia and Etchea Classic Workers Berets.
