To the Editor:
Thank God we live in a republic with a constitution which is the envy of the world — with its 27 amendments, the first 10 to protect the people.
Today our republic is in decline with the most corrupt administration in our history. We have lost respect around the world. Consider the corrupt U.S. Homeland Security headed up by Secretary Jane Napolitano. Her agency released over 3,000 murderers, rapists and common criminals.
Also, the U.S. Department of Justice, with its widespread corruption under Attorney General Eric Holder. You can't believe anything he says — he was held in contempt of Congress.
And the State Department — there's corruption under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with lies and deceit concerning the Benghazi terrorist attack. Four Americans died — "What difference does it make, said Clinton.
Then there's the Internal Revenue Service corruption — and all its head honchos. The agency has the dubious honor of being an American terrorist organization.
The U.S. Department of Labor — another corrupt organization run by labor unions. There's no balance in their decisions — Corporations leave our country.
All the adminstration's department heads have caught the Hillary Clinton disease — "Can't Remember, Don't know, Don't recall." Remember, in a court of law in Arkansas, Hillary Clinton couldn't remember her own name.
Common sense tells me they are all a corrupt bunch of liars.
No one has been held responsible for these crimes against the American people. No one fired, no one goes to prison. Some are promoted, others are on paid leave. If you or I committed these crimes we would spend time in jail.
The First Amendment with Freedom of Religion, Speech and the Press, are under attack, especially the press.
The Second Amendment, with the right to bear arms, is under attack. Tyrants control the press and disarm the people.
President Truman said it like it is. If you were an S.O.B., he said so. Truman, who had a high school education and was a soldier and Congressman, said "The buck stops here on my desk." I like to say it like Truman. Obama can't find his desk, but he can find his golf clubs. I voted for Truman.
Thomas Paine said the duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government. Good advice 200 years ago, and it's good advice today.
Hugh Sonner Sr., Corinth

A legendary salsa sonero in his prime.
Justo Roteta | Los Angeles, California United States | 06/12/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Along with 1972's "Pa' Bravo Yo" and 1977's "Distinto Y Diferente" this album is absolutely indispensable for any serious salsero. Why? On such killer guaguancos as "Pedregal", "Como Lo Canto Yo", "Demuestrame Que Tu Sabes" and the fiery-hot "Cambia Palo Pa'Rumba" Justo epitomizes all that was so great about the legendary Cuban soneros of yesteryear. This is real salsa and son from one of the 1970s master soneros - any aspiring salsa sonero should consider this classic album required listening material as Justo was (and is) an all-time great sonero. Get it."

ELIZABETH HOPPE, PLAINTIFF,v.LEWIS UNIVERSITY, DEFENDANT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Judge Edmond E. Chang
Plaintiff Elizabeth Hoppe, a professor at Defendant Lewis University, has filed this suit against Lewis seeking damages for violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., 42 U.S.C. § 1981, and the American with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101. R. 7.*fn1 Lewis has moved for summary judgment on all of Hoppe's claims. R. 32. Additionally, Hoppe has moved to strike Lewis's reply [R. 57 and R. 57(corrected)], and Lewis has moved to disqualify Hoppe's proposed expert witness. R. 49. As explained below, Hoppe's motion to strike the reply will be converted into a sur-reply, but the motion to strike will be denied-the duplicate motion [R. 58] raising the same issue is also denied. Furthermore, Lewis's motion to disqualify the expert [R. 49] is also denied for purposes of this motion, because even if the purported evidence is taken into account, summary judgment must be granted. Finally, because there are no genuine issues of material fact, and because Lewis is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, the motion for summary judgment [R. 32] is granted.
The following facts are drawn from the parties' Local Rule 56.1 materials, R. 42; R. 53,*fn2 and is presented in the light most favorable to Hoppe, the non-moving party, with all reasonable inferences drawn in her favor. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 255 (1986); E.E.O.C. v. AutoZone, Inc., 630 F.3d 635, 639 (7th Cir. 2010). Hoppe, who is Caucasian, was hired by Lewis in 1999 to serve as an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department of the University. R. 42 ¶ 3. In 2005, Hoppe was promoted to the position of Associate Professor with tenure in the Philosophy Department. Id. Hoppe holds that position at this time. Id.
Hernando Estevez, a Latino from Colombia, was hired in 2005 to a temporary, one-year, non-tenure-track position in the Philosophy Department. Id. ¶ 8. Contrary to Lewis's policy, Estevez was permitted to teach courses at other institutions because he had already made a commitment to those schools before joining Lewis. Id. ¶ 9. Hoppe disputes that this policy exists, citing to an exhibit from her deposition, R. 39, Exh. 1, 121. But, like many of the factual disputes Hoppe tries to present, the supporting material she cites in support does not actually refute Lewis's asserted fact. Moreover, the Court is left on its own to infer how the cited sources support Hoppe, because Hoppe does not explain the basis of her dispute, but simply writes, "disputed," and lists the citations.*fn3 For the purported dispute over the policy governing teaching at other schools, the cited exhibit provides that "teaching at other colleges or universities is not permitted, unless approved in writing." Id. Additionally, Hoppe cites to Dean Durant's deposition, R. 35, Exh. 5, 14, to dispute that such policy ever existed. But that portion of Durant's deposition notes that it was always the policy that a teacher could not teach outside of Lewis but could do so with special permission, and that everyone understood that policy. Id. Hoppe does not dispute that the exception was granted to Estevez for just the one year. R. 42 ¶ 11. After his year was completed, Estevez was offered a full-time, tenure-track position, but rejected the offer. Id. ¶ 12. Hoppe alleges that Estevez did not accept the position because he felt discriminated against. Id. ¶ 13. In Hoppe's deposition, she testified that Estevez never said he felt discriminated, but instead, in Hoppe's opinion, told her "indirectly" that he was treated unfairly. R. 39, Exh. 1, 55-56. Specifically, Hoppe says that Estevez told her that he met opposition from Dean Durante when Estevez wanted to negotiate the contract he was offered. Id. Two months after Estevez rejected the offer, Hoppe wrote a final evaluation of Estevez, expressing regret over Lewis's decision not to hire Estevez, but she did not include any reference to discrimination or unfair treatment. R. 42 ¶ 15.
The position was then offered to and accepted by Tracey Nicholls. Id. ¶ 16. Lewis contends that the position was offered as a non-tenure-track, one-year position, like the position Estevez was originally offered. Id. Hoppe argues that although the contract said the position was non-tenure, she was told by Durante that the position was a tenure position, but that the contract was intentionally worded as a non-tenure position for immigration law purposes. R. 39 Exh. 1, 71-72.
Hoppe filed a Charge of Discrimination with the EEOC, alleging that Estevez was discriminated against because the contract he was offered had several restrictions that were not imposed on Nicholls. R. 42 ¶ 25. First, Hoppe argues that Estevez was not permitted to teach at other institutions in his contract, but admits that she has no knowledge that Nicholls was permitted to teach at other institutions, or that she has. Id. ¶¶ 26-27. Second, Hoppe alleged that Estevez was not going to be permitted to apply his year of teaching toward the time to make tenure. Id. ¶ 32. Yet Hoppe knows of no faculty member who has been permitted to apply 1 year of a non-tenure position to the tenure track, although she does know of one professor who reached tenure faster than the six years typically required. Id. ¶ 34. Third, Hoppe alleged that Lewis acted in a discriminatory manner by not allowing Estevez to teach graduate courses, but admits that not every tenure-track faculty member gets to teach graduate courses. Id. ¶ 35.
In the fall of 2006, Hoppe was granted a sabbatical. R. 42 ¶ 17. On August 10, 2006, Hoppe was notified that due to reorganization within the University, it would be helpful if she could pack up her office, which was on loan from the education department, which needed the space back. Id. ¶ 19. Hoppe was never prohibited from entering the University's grounds, and she was provided an office to share with another professor. Id. ¶ 21. Other professors share offices at Lewis, especially when the office is large, like the one Hoppe shared. Id.*fn4 When Hoppe returned from sabbatical she was given an office in the academic building, but she refused to use the office, removed her name from the door, and modified her syllabus to indicate that she would not meet students in the office. Id. ¶ 22.*fn5 Hoppe has not used an office since Spring 2007, although she has been offered five offices. Id. ¶ 23.
Hoppe filed a second Charge on July 27, 2007, alleging that Lewis retaliated against her for filing the first Charge. Id. ¶ 36. The alleged retaliation was that Dean Durante stopped speaking to her. Id. ¶ 37. As a result of the lack of communication, Hoppe alleges that she was no longer able to serve on committees, or was denied access to committees when she expressed interest. Id. ¶ 38-44. Additionally, Hoppe claims all of the following happened in retaliation: she was removed from teaching in the aviation department, id. ¶¶ 45-55; Dean Ayers initiated sanctions against her for missing multiple meetings, id. ¶ 56; she was not permitted to participate in the final version of the Philosophy Department Program Review, because she missed the deadline for writing a response, id. ¶ 57; she applied for, but did not receive, a particular grant (called a Doherty grant), id. ¶ 58; after Dean Durante received two harassing letters and reported them to the police, she included Hoppe's name on a list of a dozen people who "might have a problem or issue or be angry with her," id. ¶ 59.
In August 2007, Hoppe saw a doctor who diagnosed her with adjustment disorder with anxiety and depressed moods. Id. ¶ 62. The effects of the anxiety are severe. At times, Hoppe is limited to checking email once a week. R. 53 ¶ 2. On occasions, she has required the assistance of friends, her therapist, and her attorney to read her email and summarize it for her. Id. She has avoided the internet. Id. She has gone a full month without checking her voice-mail, even when she is told by friends that they left her a message. Id. Additionally, she has gone a month without opening mail. Id. Further, Hoppe has been unable to use offices offered by Lewis due to their proximity to individuals who exacerbate her adjustment disorder. Id. ¶ 3.
In seeking an accommodation for Hoppe's disorder, her doctor sent a letter to Lewis on August 27, 2008 asking that Hoppe's office be moved. R. 42 ¶ 69. The letter did not say where Hoppe should be moved to or what office would be suitable. Id. Accordingly, Lewis responded with a letter asking questions to determine how to accommodate Hoppe. Id. ¶ 71. Hoppe took the letter to her doctor who handwrote notes on the letter; Hoppe retained the letter with the handwritten notes. Id. ¶ 72. Lewis received another letter on September 30, 2008, which still failed to explain where an appropriate office would be located. Id. ¶ 73. In response to the doctor's letter, Lewis offered Hoppe three different offices in the academic building, where she currently had an office which she refused to use; all three were rejected. Id. ¶ 74. On January 19, 2010, a third letter was received from Hoppe's doctor. Id. ¶ 75. The letter suggested that Hoppe be moved to a different "location," but did not identify who in the current building was causing a problem for Hoppe, despite Lewis's explicit request for that information. Id. Three days after receiving the letter, Lewis offered Hoppe an office in the "LRC" building to comply with Hoppe's doctor's orders. R. 34, Exh. B9. On February 25, 2010, Hoppe accepted the office, but ultimately never moved into it. R. 42 ¶ 77.
Additionally, Lewis was never provided an ergonomic chair, as requested by Hoppe's doctor, because Hoppe never accepted an office. Id. ¶ 80. Lewis has attempted to meet with Hoppe to provide an ergonomic chair, but Hoppe has not participated in any discussions about arranging for an ergonomic chair because she has had anxiety issues. R. 39, Exh. A, 377-378. On April 16, 2010, Hoppe's doctor sent another letter specifically listing what buildings were not suitable for Hoppe. R. 53 ¶ 6. Hoppe's current office situation is not included in the summary judgment filings, presumably because the letter was written after Lewis filed its motion, and Hoppe's response came shortly after.
Hoppe filed this action against Lewis alleging discrimination and retaliation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 1981, and the American with Disabilities Act. R. 7, Exh. 1. Count One asserts an associational discrimination claim, alleging that Hoppe was denied the benefits of a diverse colleague because Lewis discriminated against Estevez. Id. ¶¶ 61-64. Count Two is a retaliation claim based on Hoppe's alleged protected activity against Lewis's race discrimination. Id. ¶¶ 65-70. Count Three alleges the same associational discrimination claim as Count One, but Count Three invokes 42 U.S.C. § 1981. Id. ¶¶ 71-75. Count Four alleges that Lewis retaliated against Hoppe, in violation of § 1981, for reporting Lewis's discrimination of Estevez. Id. ¶¶ 76-80. Count Five is a claim for failure to provide Hoppe with a reasonable accommodation under the ADA. Id. ¶¶ 81-88. Count Six is a claim that Hoppe was retaliated against for complaining to the EEOC that her disability was not being accommodated. Id. ¶¶ 89-92.
Summary judgment must be granted if "the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a). In determining whether there is a genuine issue of fact, the Court "must construe the facts and draw all reasonable inferences in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party." Foley v. City of Lafayette, 359 F.3d 925, 928 (7th Cir. 2004).
To avoid summary judgment, the opposing party must go beyond the pleadings and "set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial." Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 250 (1986). A genuine issue of material fact exists if "the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party." Id. at 248. The party seeking summary judgment has the burden of establishing the lack of any genuine issue of material fact. See Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323 (1986). Summary judgment will be granted against "a party who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to that party's case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial." Id. at 322. The non-moving party "must do more than simply show that there is some metaphysical doubt as to the material facts." Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 586 (1986). In other words, the "mere existence of a scintilla of evidence in support of the [non-movant's] position will be insufficient; there must be evidence on which the jury could reasonably find for the [non-movant]." Anderson, 477 U.S. at 252.
III. A. Related Motions
Before addressing Lewis's motion for summary judgment, there are two motions that aim to shape the evidence and arguments that are before the Court for the summary judgment motion. Lewis filed a motion to disqualify Hoppe's expert witness, Dr. Peter Kirstein. R. 49. Plaintiff has filed a "motion to strike portions of Defendant's reply or for alternative relief." R. 58.
1. Motion to Disqualify Dr. Kirstein
Dr. Peter Kirstein is proffered by Hoppe as an expert to testify regarding a tenured professor's right to have an office generally, and also specifically while on sabbatical. R. 49 at 2. Lewis objects to Kirstein's expert testimony, and argues that it is improper under Daubert v. Merrill Dow Pharmaceuticals, 509 U.S. 579 (1993). R. 49 at 7. Naturally, Hoppe defends her expert, and argues that Kirstein's expert testimony meets Daubert's standard. Neither party discusses whether the proposed evidence qualifies as expert testimony under Rule 702, which governs scientific, technical, or otherwise specialized knowledge. As it turns out, the Court need not address whether the proposed testimony would survive a Daubert hearing or Rule 702 screening. For purposes of deciding the summary judgment motion, the Court will consider Dr. Kirstein's testimony. As discussed below, even with Kirstein's testimony, summary judgment must be entered for Lewis as to all counts.
2. Motion to Strike or for Alternative Relief
Hoppe has moved to strike portions of Lewis's reply brief, contending that it raises an argument-that Hoppe could not complete essential functions of her job-for the first time, and has waived the argument by not asserting it in its opening memorandum. R. 54. Alternatively, the "motion to strike" responds to Lewis's argument that Hoppe is unable to complete the essential functions of her position. Id. Hoppe's motion to strike will be denied, and the motion will be treated as a sur-reply. The Court will consider Lewis's ...

Pack of racists in bomber jackets called me a "fucking Paki" on the street the other day. The usual stuff about going back to where I came from. Racists never need facts or accuracy, and I wasn't going to correct them and say I was actually Hindu, of Indian ancestry, not Pakistani-Muslim, and born and raised in Parsons Green in West London. I wasn't going to break cover since I was on the job.
Buddha used to say there was no need to take revenge. If you waited long enough, the bodies of your enemies would eventually float by in the river. In my case, I had Ken and Clive to beat them up for me. Two violent, trained ex-coppers built like brick shithouses against four gangly racists in tracksuits? No contest. And did I say Clive used to be in the army before he became a copper? Soldiers were taught to kill people with their thumbs, if necessary. It had been a few weeks since Ken and Clive last fed their bloodlust.
"The fat one looks like a human version of a boil," Julia said.
"He's like everyone's cartoon of what a British racist looks like," I said. "I didn't think that look actually existed."
The blob of a man hit the ground. He wasn't getting up again for a bit. He made me think of the Millennium Dome.
Two broken noses, one fractured jaw, and at least one concussion later, Ken and Clive walked back to us, happily sated. Their grins did not make me comfortable anymore.
Ken and Clive didn't do it for me, of course. They just wanted any excuse to kick off and fuck someone up. It had been three weeks since they had gotten to quench their lust for violence, and these idiots fit the bill. The violence also reinforced their cover as my bodyguards.
Julia squeezed my arm as we continued on our way, Ken and Clive falling in line alongside us. Mark just nodded in approval.
This aggressive show of power seemed to impress our mark. Tarquin Gaskell-Bridger. I was a tycoon from Mumbai here to see his pitch for his dodgy anti-drone technology. He watched in awe at the short work my "bodyguards" made of those unfortunate dickheads. I was a prospective investor in his dodgy venture, and this was the kind of power at my command. Having Ken and Clive with me meant I was not to be fucked with.
"A perfect snapshot of the dystopian Dickensian nightmare that Britain is becoming," Mark Oldham declared cheerfully.
He would say that. Mark was our disillusioned poet at Golden Sentinels Private Investigations and Security Agency. He looked upon the world through a haze of marijuana smoke and saw it broken and sad, and he could only laugh and make jokes. We were here because of him, and he wouldn't have missed it for the world.
The Ravi PI Series
Her Beautiful Monster
The Ravi PI Series
Enjoy "the best high-concept television show you've never seen" (Alan Moore) in this second book of the Ravi PI series, featuring detective Ravi Chandra Singh and his team at the gleefully amoral, unfailingly dangerous secret agency Golden Sentinels.
When Ravi's colleagues at Golden Sentinels discover that he sees gods in moments of heightened anxiety and stress, they are surprisingly fine with it. They even encourage him to incorporate his visions into his work, especially now that the cases have become more intense, with many hidden risks at play.
But their latest case—a search for a dead Russian oligarch's last will and testament—leads to more than anyone expected: a missing heir, murderous relatives, and geopolitical implications. So, when Ravi's boss sends him to Los Angeles to wait out the heat, it's almost a relief…until Ravi's past catches up to him.
In this thrilling and complex sequel to the "exciting and dynamic" (Deepak Chopra) Her Nightly Embrace, nothing is what it seems as Ravi stumbles upon a dangerous scheme that involves the CIA, MI5, and a wanted man with a $20 million price on his head.

Oh blog, how I have neglected you! Now that I am on the 11th Company Podcast somewhat regularly I say all I have to say over there, and so I do not have to use my blog as a soap box.
So I have commited to the IC's Hobby Progress Challenge and for the army I am going with Dark Eldar. I love the look of the new models and they will go well with my Harliquin themed Eldar army.
I have been meaning to take part in the last couple of HPCs but I
never got around to it so I thought I would give it a try. It is my hope that it will help motivate me to paint some models.
The List:
Baron Von Hellion
12 Hellions w/Helliarch
12 Hellions w/Helliarch
10 Scourges
4 Beastmasters
1 Clawed Fiend
4 Razorwing Flocks
5 Khymerae
The list is not a competitive one, just one to paint some models. Also they have it were your first 1000 points have to be a Zone Mortalis army, and they have special rule of what you can, and can't take. For the next 1000 points you can take vehicles and allies so I get to expand more to where I want to go.

I'm not one for repetitive tunes but this one has something going for it. I have no idea what the title means. My guess is something along the lines of the "First Woman" or the "Well-Mannered Woman" but as I said those are just guesses. I picked this up from the Paul McGratten & Paul Shaughnessey Album "Within a mile of Dublin" but rarely get to play it with others.
My knowledge of the Irish language is shamefully limited. However, I have been, I think, reliably informed that the title refers to the 'cotton grass' or 'bog cotton' - a group of species of grass which grow abundantly on the bogs of Ireland, bearing little white fluffy cotton-like flowerheads. The 'ban' or 'bhan' bit means 'white' or 'fair' (light-coloured).
That would make sense David, I had asked an Irish speaker about the title & he thought the title refered to what I had mentioned, but he wasn't sure.
Na Ceannabhain Bhana does indeed refer to "White Bog Cotton" according to my Irish English Dictionary. What threw me of was that it was spelled differently in the dictionary. Thanks David I was always curious about what that title ment.
White -headed Cannavans
In the liner notes for Cran's great CD, Lover's Ghost, this tunes is identified as a popular Connemara nonsense song. There are words to it though:
Good for you, Mical and Maire!
They are the white headed Canavans.
I will send you up to Sean's Sive
And she will put a spancel on you in the glen.
Evidently the Canavans were a family with very fair colored hair.
Canavans, revisited
One more thing - the words are in Gaelic, so it might be a bit frustrating to try to set those lyrics to the tune!
Canavans, English title
I recently heard this tune on a cd by a group called Shantalla, called Seven Evenings, Seven Mornings. The call it The Little Fair Canavans. The sleeve notes on the cd say the group 's piper, Michael Horgan, heard the tune played many years ago by Seamus Ennis, so I suppose he must have called it the same.
Seamus Ennis collected the tune from a woman who used it as a dandling song for her newborn twin boys - she sang it to put them to sleep. "The Little Fair Cannavans" is Seamus's own more elegant translation of Na Ceannabhain Bhana.
BTW I love the Cran rendition of the song, and the version of "The Black Rogue" which follows it on the flat pipes. That whole album just gives me goose bumps.
Cathy and Seamus do a very nice version of this on Spirit.
I think this is among the most common slip jigs in sessions and concerts. It's actually much more beginner-friendly than The Butterfly. I often hear it played with double jigs, but you should be careful not to confuse this with Willie Coleman's.
Some London musicians play this tune in A.
The lyrics 'as gaeilge'
i learnt this as a song before i 'learnt' the tune.
here are the lyrics
gairm fhéin,gairm fhéin,gairm fhéin,
gairm fhéin Micil is Máire
gairm fhéin,gairm fhéin,gairm fhéin,
Seo iad na ceannabháin Bhana
Cuirfidh mé,Cuirfidh mé,Cuirfidh mé,
Cuirfidh mé suas ag sadbh Sheáin thú
Cuirfidh mé,Cuirfidh mé,Cuirfidh mé,
Is Cuirfidh sí buirín sa ngleann ort
Patrick Street's version

First tune
Tommy keane taught this to me as my first proper tune on the uilleann pipes.. Lovely little slip jig and im still doing it a great injustice!!!
Bothy Band version
This is, surely, the slip jig the Boithies play after the kesh in that very famou set.
Cormac Breatnach & Martin Dunlea
First tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmNl7FJHjY8
Ceannbhán: Bog standard!
As pointed out elsewhere, the name refers to a patronym.
It is also applied to the Bog cotton, a class of grass that graces many an acre of Irish bogland in spring or early summer time.
Cannabhan Ban - The jig version?
So I f was looking around on iTunes and found an album called "Absolutely Irish". I am normally a bit sceptical of albums with these sort of names, but it had a lot of well known musicians on it, so I thought "why not?"
On the 10th track, after "Lark In the Morning" and before "The Humours of Ballyloughlin" is a tune called "Cannabhan Ban". I think this is a jig version of this tune. Seamus Egan is listed as one of the musicians on it, so maybe they played around with it a bit for this set.
Cian Talty & Andrea Palandri
Google didn't help me on how to pronounce "Na Ceannabhain Bhana", some help please
Pronunciation would vary depending on locality.
You can hear it sung here:
Try this: http://www.abair.tcd.ie/
A tin whistle version here
Most common key and version……….
I love this slipjig. It may be a "how long is a piece of string?" question - but I wondered if there is a more common version/key played at sessions from the versions above (and the other submission: https://thesession.org/tunes/1968). I am in the UK btw.
Thanks in advance - and if it is stupid question please don't be too hard on me.
Keep the music strong ……. Rob
Try this…..
Version #1 above would be pretty close. Anytime I've heard it played, it's been in "G", but that might not hold true for every session you go to.
You won't go far wrong with this version :
Most common key and version……….
Thanks Kenny - I really appreciate that. I find that slip jig have a way of spiraling into my head - and this tune is there now. Need to get it under my fingers now. This seems like a nice straight version to pick up in G: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY_rQjcd6Eg
Thanks for you help. Rob
Re: Na Ceannabhain Bhana
A belated answer to Fliúiteadóir's comment above, but:
"This is, surely, the slip jig the Boithies play after the kesh in that very famous set."
Nope, that one is the Swaggering Jig (aka Drink Of Water). They're extremely similar, but different enough to be called different tunes:

Tangential Vancouverism: Projects for Vancouver's Urbanism explores the potential for new "urban extensions" to be tenably designed as vibrant constituents of city life in Vancouver. Read on »
The Thin Green Line that defines the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) is a boundary that frames our attempts to mitigate growth, preserve arable land and maintain an agrarian landscape character in municipalities undergoing a massive transformation from rural to urban form. The ALR boundary establishes a wonderful edge in many places – a stark contrast between land uses, reinforced by the 'boundary' landscape, a place to observe from the safety of the edge.
In other areas however, the boundary is pockmarked by odd and incongruous land uses: big-box religion, surrounded by acres of occasionally used parking, is acceptable in the ALR; the placeless fake landscapes of golf courses – one of the worst offenders of chemical pollution – are permitted. Monster homes, often built cheaply and without any vernacular context, effectively suburbanize the ALR. There is a great irony in the acceptability of land use types that contradict the intentions of the policy, erode the viability of the agricultural resource and ultimately make the Thin Green Line meaningless. (more…)
As Vancouver expands eastward, facing established neighborhoods such as Strathcona, Chinatown and Gastown, will it continue it's pattern of erasing and replacing, or is it possible to consider the existing fabric as something to be built within, around and on top of? Tangential Babel is an argument for a dialog between what was and will be; for an architectural memory that reaches deeper than the notional. It is an earnest folly – a fantastical infrastructure – dubbed fondly as the Georgia Grind, with all the challenge, rivalry and dating potential of the original, conveniently located within the City of Vancouver. (more…)
So what else is new?
In my earlier posts, I wanted to observe aspects of the existing legislative system that limit architecture's agency or at least fail to enhance its relationship to the public good. I wrote about the Tariff's admission of architecture's weakness in the face of the economy; that the AIBC's mandate advocates for protection of the public good, not its advancement; and that the density bonus program operates horizontally within existing class structures as opposed to vertically across them.
Beginning this post, I am left with the feeling. Indeed, so, what else is new? (more…)
Animated Publics versus Damp Subjects
Rain, Rain, Go Away
Not a chance, not in Vancouver at least. Of the 36 cities in North America with populations over two million, Vancouver has the most days with measurable precipitation. It rains more of the time here, than anywhere else on the continent. And meteorological data suggests it will get even wetter. Annual rainfall has increased by approximately six inches since 1960 and it's widely expected that this trend will continue well into the future. Don't put away the galoshes anytime soon. (more…)
The definitions section appended to the Vancouver zoning bylaw helpfully illuminates terms such as "family" and "adult magazine," but fails to define the pervasive term "character," a term which has an outsize presence in the district schedules and design guidelines, and countless discussions between architects and planners. The fact that there is no explicit definition is on the one hand convenient, and on the other, highly problematic. The lack of definition potentially confers flexibility, though in practice that flexibility tends toward a "consensually" conservative interpretation, foregrounding planners' (those writing, interpreting, and enacting the code) unquestioned priorities of consistency, legibility, compatibility, and retention. (more…)
Vancouverism 2.0 should attempt to reflect the perspective of its citizens. Through mobile photo capture and sharing, Vancouverites and visitors document their perspectives on the city every day. Massive amounts of geo-referenced data are gathered, and the data depicts a unique image of Vancouver. Through this project we have sought to explore geotagged photo data to consider how we can make the best use of this information for improving the planning and design of our city. (more…)
In Vancouver, the public discussion around densification and architectural design is often limited to the form and height of proposed new developments. Less attention has been given to understanding what makes a neighborhood feel like a neighbourhood and what creates a connection between people and the place they live. (more…)
If you ignore the cost of real estate, Vancouver could be a great place to innovate. It's not a head office town. It is made of a diverse profile of businesses with a median size of four people. It's a destination for people entering Canada and has an abundance of under-employed immigrant professionals – they earn 20% less than their Canadian-born counterparts. Combine this with a steady supply of eager graduates from the Lower Mainland's eight universities and it suggests that there is an untapped creative class ready to make new things happen. Unfortunately space to create and collaborate is not easily found here and rent isn't cheap.
So where can these ideas happen and grow? (more…)

Hi my name is Pastor Jeff Earls. I pastor a small home church in Canada and resourses are limited so I am in need to 'make a few tents' so my family and I are not a burden to our small group. I have noticed over the years products found online that I thought worth the money for the cost and wondered how I could market them so I also may tap into a way to bring some food to our table without taking away from the ministry. This is what I came up with. I started this blog for products I promote. Also it is a place others can place their products on this blog freely

Are you battling with inflammation, joint injury or chronic joint pain? If you are, you are at the right place. In this article I am going to bring you up to speed with the different foods that are anti inflammatory. These foods will come in handy in reducing inflammation and joint pains.
Below are some foods that are anti inflammatory:
*Fish Oils
This are the best foods that are anti inflammatory. It contains omega 3 fatty acids (DHA) and (EPA) that are known to have high anti inflammatory properties. The long omega 3 fatty acids chain is crucial to healing of intestines, cardiovascular disease and sore connective tissues. Instead of taking supplements that may have negative side effects, eat the actual fish as it has the recommended amount of fish oil.
Turmeric is the main ingredient used in preparation of Indian curries. You may think that the Indian curries are just beneficial as food spices, but turmeric also contains several anti inflammatory compounds. Some of these compounds include six different COX 2 inhibitors. COX 2 is an enzyme produced by the body. When COX 2 is produced in excess amounts, it may trigger pain, soreness and swelling in your body parts. However, the COX 2 inhibitors play an important role in inhibiting excess production of these enzymes. So, even if you do not like the Indian spices, try the Indian curries not only for its tantalizing taste but for its health benefit.
Small amounts of raw ginger or ginger paste taken directly or cooked are effective pain relievers. Ginger contains essential compounds such as gingerols that help to reduce stiffness, muscle and joint aches. Studies compounded by several medical experts suggest that ginger, taken as a daily supplement, plays an important role in reducing swelling, soreness and inflammation caused by strenuous activities.
*Green Tea
It is the high time to substitute coffee for green tea. Green tea has high levels of polyphenols and flavanoids which are good anti inflammatory compounds. Drinking a low dose of green tea each day activates the anti inflammatory RNA protein that naturally aids in reducing swelling and aches.
Besides from giving food a delicious taste, cinnamon can also be used to treat several medical conditions. Cinnamon is not only used to reduce inflammation and pain, but also to reduce swelling of the large intestines.
*Whole grains
Whole grains are good repellents for inflammatory micro causing organisms. They are known to keep harmful inflammation at bay. This is because the whole grains contain more fiber, which has the properties to reduce C-reactive protein levels in the body, a marker of inflammation in your blood. Moreover, whole grains have less added sugars that may trigger inflammation.
All vegetables are good for your body but dark leafy vegetables are the best anti inflammatory foods. Studies conducted by medical experts suggest that vitamin E helps in protecting your body from pro-inflammatory molecules such as cytokines. Some examples of dark leafy vegetables include kale, spinach, collard greens and broccoli.
These are just some of the examples of foods that are anti inflammatory. You can read more on foods that are anti inflammatory in order to find out which best suits your diet.

Consider seeking medical attention.
You can call the National Sexual Assault Hotline (800.656.HOPE) to locate a nearby hospital with a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE). A SANE nurse is qualified to do a forensic examination and to provide empathetic care to survivors of sexual assault. However, going to the hospital does not mean that you must get a forensic exam. Consider asking someone you trust to either escort you or meet you there. You can and should get medical services even if you have showered or are not sure if what happened to you was rape. We recommend going to the hospital within 72 hours of assault because being assaulted may put you at risk for STIs, HIV, and/or pregnancy, and preventive medications must be started within 72 hours of assault to be effective against HIV. You do not need to report the assault to the police in order to receive medical attention. See our section on Medical Help for more information on what to expect at the hospital.

Pan-seared Tilapia with Jalapeno-Lime Butter
A friend of mine gave me a goodie-bag full of home grown cherry tomatoes and jalapenos yesterday. Score! The tomatoes didn't last long around me. (If you have never eaten a home grown tomato, you are missing out!) I concocted this jalapeno-lime butter to dress up seared tilapia, and it was a big hit.
I've got 3 jalapenos left- any ideas?
Seared Tilapia
* Gluten-free diners should double-check their seasoning for gluten sources.
1 tbsp olive oil
4 tilapia fillets
Salt and pepper (or Cajun seasoning if you're feeling spicy!)
1. Pat fillets dry with a paper towel and season on both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tilapia and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Jalapeno-Lime Butter
An Ommy Noms Original
1/2 stick butter, room temperature
1 jalapeno pepper, finely diced
Juice of 1/2 a lime
1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Dollop onto seared tilapia fillets.

Liverpool struck late to salvage a point at home to Chelsea
A late Christian Benteke header managed to salvage a point for Liverpool in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea as the Belgian capitalised on an Asmir Begovic error to stretch Liverpool's unbeaten run at home to 13 games in all competitions.
Jurgen Klopp's side started the game pretty quickly, but Chelsea weathered the early storm and got themselves into the game, and were ahead just after the half hour mark thanks to a wonderful individual goal from Eden Hazard - who put in a fine display that would have troubled most defences.
Liverpool looked a little less composed but kept plugging away in the second half, and as the game looked as if it was going to peter out with a Chelsea victory, Begovic flapped at Sheyi Ojo's cross, allowing Benteke to nod home from close range.
The focus for Liverpool seems to be very much on next week's Europa League final and some will be glad that a couple of the more off performances came this week instead of taking place against Sevilla in Basel next week - as Jurgen Klopp selected a side that looks likely to line up in a weeks' time.
As Liverpool brought the curtain down on their season at Anfield, here's how those that participated rated on first viewing:
Simon Mignolet - A couple of nervy moments. One when he parried the ball into the danger zone to be cleared up by Toure then when he came for a through ball and didn't commit. Several solid stops in the second half - 6
Nathaniel Clyne - Hard to judge his performance as he was up against a player in Hazard who put in a terrific display. Probably would've wanted better himself - 5
Dejan Lovren - A couple of stray passes but didn't much wrong otherwise - 6
Kolo Toure - Should've buried a chance a 1-0 down but he did pretty well in his main duties - 7
Alberto Moreno - Not sure there is much to fault about his performance. A couple of times you think he's got an error in him but he looks a little more dangerous going forward now, and carries that bit of urgency about him - 6
Emre Can - Chelsea dealt with him well, there was rarely an occasion when the two front men were more than 10 yards away from him. Wasn't given much room to play at all in the first half, improved in the second but still didn't look his best - 5
James Milner - A quiet game from Milner, though Can not having the best of times behind him didn't help, a lot of the times he had to come deep to help out and that hurt Liverpool a little. Tactically wise to be withdrawn - 5
Philippe Coutinho - He looked a little more busy than in recent games. Tested Begovic, linked well with Sturridge, but will have wanted a little more influence on the game, though after a little lull of late, one wouldn't be surprised if he shines in next week's final - 7
Adam Lallana - Guilty of not taking a shot on when he should've done, instead opted for Sturridge in the first half. Facing sides that are willing to sit in and kill the game can expose his limitations. Creates a chance in the second half for Sturridge and got himself into one or two dangerous areas prior to his withdrawal - 6
Roberto Firmino - Picked up the ball in some dangerous areas, showed well, his decision making was a bit off but he showed flashes of his quality - 6
Daniel Sturridge - Seemed to link well with Coutinho early on but tried too much after the away end got on his back for a spell in the first half. Better in the second half but there were still occasions when he ended up in central midfield when he didn't need to - 6
Joe Allen - Gave Chelsea's midfield a few worries, not sure they expected him to play further forward but another good shift from the Welshman - 7
Christian Benteke - Everyone around him seemed reluctant to play to him until Ojo's introduction. Right place, right time for his goal. A bigger haul and perhaps he'd have more of a chance of succeeding at Liverpool - 7
Sheyi Ojo - Equaliser stems from his delivery, could've scored from his first touch. Eventful brief cameo - 7

The meeting between the so-called president and German Chancellor Angela Merkel seemed a bit prickly to me, although of course I wasn't there. Germans were upset that the so-called president failed to shake her hand at one point. But that seems the least of it.
Trump apparently believes that Germany is screwing the U.S. in trade deals.
Trump told Merkel and the press that Germany had gotten the better end of the stick in trade deals with the US in the past and that he was looking to rectify that situation.
"The negotiators for Germany have done a far better job than the negotiators for the United States," he said. "But hopefully we can even it out."
We know what "even it out" means, and it is an absurd notion. It means negotiating a bilateral trade deal with Germany and somehow ignoring the rest of the rest of the European Union.
Merkel explained to Trump that "The European Union is negotiating those agreements for all of the member states," but whether he grasped that is hard to tell
Of course, what Merkel says about it doesn't matter in a White House that is gripped by the delusion that Germany can just tell the EU to take a hike — at least, it will be gripped by this for as long as that policy is directed by Trump's trade head, Peter Navarro.
Navarro, in a much-derided speech this month, said Germany "uses the argument" of being in the eurozone to avoid trade deals with the US, and that because of this Germany would be "one of the most difficult trade deficits we're going to have to deal with."
Navarro has gone as far as to accuse Germany of being a currency manipulator for using the euro. He thinks that because countries with weaker economies than Germany's are factored into the euro's value, Germany can sell its manufactured goods more cheaply than it could if it had its own currency.
Obviously, that's not currency manipulation. That's just the reality of the euro's makeup.
But it means Merkel faces a scenario in which the president of the United States and his top trade adviser think one of their closest and most important allies is lying to them about its need to respect the EU. Trump and Navarro think this is a choice Germany is making about the US, not an obligation that is part of the fabric of its political and economic systems.
Peter Navarro is director of the National Trade Council, a newly formed bureaucratic thingie in the executive branch somewhere. This is from an article about him:
It is sometimes difficult to get a detailed, direct answer from President Trump and his surrogates on their economic policy.
During the campaign he slid past substance by making sweeping claims of how, under a Trump administration, the US would '"win bigly" and "stop being taken advantage of."
Those pronouncements continue.
But luckily there is one voice coming from the White House that clearly articulates the direction in which it wants this country to head economically. That voice belongs to Peter Navarro, the head of Trump's newly formed National Trade Council.
Over the past few weeks, Navarro has given a number of interviews that explain the administration's propensity for victimhood, an obsession with Germany, and a deep-seated desire to change the face of the American economy as we know it.
All these factors have contributed to growing fears that this administration will start a trade war with any of the countries it has scapegoated — Mexico, China, or, yes, now Germany.
I missed this, but in January Trump suggested a 35 percent tariff on BMWs imported into the U.S., and Germans probably are still pissed about that —
Germany's deputy chancellor and minister for the economy, Sigmar Gabriel, said on Monday morning that a tax on German imports would lead to a "bad awakening" among US carmakers since they were reliant on transatlantic supply chains.
"I believe BMW's biggest factory is already in the US, in Spartanburg [South Carolina]," Gabriel, leader of the centre-left Social Democratic party, told the Bild newspaper in a video interview.
"The US car industry would have a bad awakening if all the supply parts that aren't being built in the US were to suddenly come with a 35% tariff. I believe it would make the US car industry weaker, worse and above all more expensive. I would wait and see what the Congress has to say about that, which is mostly full of people who want the opposite of Trump."
In an interview with Bild and the Times, the US president-elect had indicated that he would aim to realign the "out of balance" car trade between Germany and the US. "If you go down Fifth Avenue everyone has a Mercedes Benz in front of his house, isn't that the case?" he said. "How many Chevrolets do you see in Germany? Not very many, maybe none at all … it's a one-way street."
Asked what Trump could do to make sure German customers bought more American cars, Gabriel said: "Build better cars."
Trump was never a manufacturing guy, so he doesn't understand supply chains. And he doesn't understand how the EU works, and neither does his trade guy, Navarro. What else doesn't he know?
After tweeting from Mar-a-Lago that he had a GREAT meeting with Angela Merkel, in spite of what the FAKE NEWS said, he stepped in more doo doo.
Despite what you have heard from the FAKE NEWS, I had a GREAT meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Nevertheless, Germany owes…..
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2017
…vast sums of money to NATO & the United States must be paid more for the powerful, and very expensive, defense it provides to Germany!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2017
Um, what is he talking about? I didn't think the U.S. collected money to run NATO.
And, of course, it doesn't. Nobody owes NATO money. Nobody owes the U.S. anything on behalf of NATO. The issue is that NATO members commit to spend 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense, and most of them don't. Germany spends 1.2 percent, although Merkel has said that will increase. But framing this issue as if Germany is somehow victimizing the United States is just … weird.

Visit the OFFICIAL event web site here.
Starts and finishes at the Dockside Restaurant, which is located on Airlie Road (Wilmington side of the Intracoastal Waterway).
Swim The Loop starts and finishes at the Dockside Restaurant, which is located on Airlie Road (Wilmington side of the Intracoastal Waterway). The race will start at a high tide to ensure an even tide pattern throughout the 3.5 mile swim. Don't be fooled though; there will be times of slight incoming tide, slight falling tide and a mostly slack tide. Swimmers will paddle their way around the island clockwise going under the drawbridge and turning right into Lee's Cut. There are some shallower waters through this cut, so keep about 10-15 ft. off the marsh/docks and you won't hit bottom. Lee's Cut can be a tougher section to complete, so be conservative and confident through the first mile of the swim.
Once through Lee's Cut the swimmer will turn right into Banks Channel and go under the W. Salisbury St. Bridge completing about 1.5 miles of the course. Once you reach the second bridge you've completed 2 miles and will soon turn right into Motts Channel. Make sure you site through Mott's Channel and stay about 10-15 ft. off the marsh because as the tide begins to change and fall this part could be a challenging portion of the swim depending on the time you begin this portion of the swim. Mile 3 is just past the Seapath Towers/Marina and will leave you with half a mile from the finish.
The race course is a 5.6K (3.5 miles) loop that goes around Harbor Island. Start/finish will be on the vdocks at Dockside Restaurant. Swim course will be clearly marked with buoys, kayakers, stand up paddle boarders, and boats. Waves or mass start will be determined closer to race date and is subjected to the number of race entrants and weather conditions. The direction of the swim will be clockwise around Harbor Island. Expected water temperature range is 68-75°F, with possible chop due to wind, and the presence of marine life.

All Films.All Above Board.NOW INCLUDES TV SHOWS & TV LISTINGS
Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron and Matthew McConaughey star in this steamy crime thriller set in rural Florida at the end of the 1960s. Charlotte Bless (Kidman), a garishly seductive femme fatale, enlists the help of returning Miami Times investigative reporter Ward Jansen (McConaughey) and his black colleague Yardley Acheman (David Oyelowo) as she tries to overturn the conviction of death row inmate Hillary Van Wetter (John Cusack), who is accused of murdering a local racist sheriff. But as a mutual resentment simmers between Yardley and Ward's adolescent younger brother, Jack (Efron), the investigation threatens to get derailed as the main protagonists find themselves swept up in a heady cocktail of heat, lust and violence.

LAKE SUCCESS, NY – North Shore-LIJ Health System Senior Medical Director and Chief of Infectious Disease Diagnostics, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Christine Ginocchio, PhD, was recently given the Becton Dickinson award by the American Society for Microbiology for her lifetime accomplishments in research in clinical microbiology.
Dr. Ginocchio and her laboratory played a crucial role in combating the 2009 New York City outbreak of the influenza A H1N1 virus by helping to determine the best diagnostic methods for this disease. Dr. Ginocchio has helped improve patient care by achieving a faster and more comprehensive respiratory virus diagnosis process.
"Being able to provide certainty and an accurate diagnosis based on my team's scientific research about many infectious diseases and thereby accelerating the initiation of patients' treatments is extremely gratifying," Dr. Ginocchio said.
In receiving the BD award, Dr. Ginocchio also gave the laureate research presentation about diagnosing sepsis at the 113th meeting of the American Society of Microbiology in Denver, Colorado. With this life-threatening infection, it is critical to be diagnosed as quickly as possible to rapidly begin treatment. Dr. Ginocchio uses a method that tests a patient's blood and diagnosis can be received one to three days sooner than other tests.
Dr. Ginocchio is a professor at the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine and the co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Clinical Virology. Dr. Ginocchio was the recipient of the Pan American Society of Clinical Virology award in diagnostic virology and has been the principal investigator for more than 60 federal and New York State-funded research studies and clinical trials.
Nominations for the BD award come from microbiologists' peers and the selection is also made by fellow microbiologists.

- Reaching out to remember and appreciate friends, relations and associates can be a really nice thing to do. I like to do this by giving cards and sending letters.
- Gifts that have been personally created have special value.
- Giving through making time to spend with others is an important way of nurturing friendships.
- Shopping at locally owned and operated businesses, especially small ones, is another way of showing appreciation for the services they provide.
- Let's be sure to remember the importance of charity, especially at Christmas time: you can give directly by donating money or goods. Charitable organisations can use these to help those who need it. Alternatively you can provide support by shopping at charity shops which use the funds raised to provide services.
- One of the chief ways that I give is through sharing how and what I think: this finds expression in my writing of these Chronicles, and the time I spend helping people who are important to me, talking things over and working things out. I have to say I find it puzzling that this form of giving is accorded a very low value by modern society. However, one's skill and insight demands a degree of expression.
Others have come up with similar concepts of giving although differently worded:
I recently came across the concept of the five hands of giving which includes these five ways:
- Hand made
- Hand-me-down
- Second hand
- Helping hand - donate
- Hand-in-hand - spend time together
This is excellent: personal, thrifty, eco-friendly, and including all that's best about gift giving!
What I've written here enlarges on these themes:
The writing of letters and the sending of cards can be special:
If I receive cards that are beautiful I often leave them up to be admired for months. I have one on a cabinet in the living room that dates from last Christmas. Not many write actual letters any more - it's really nice to share this way. Writing letters takes time and thought and shows interest and care.
Below you can see three cards I made in previous years:
I chose the photographs from those taken during the year had a number printed, and then mounted them on blank card purchased for that purpose. It's much less work to buy cards than make your own!
All the items in that photo are second hand and three of them were gifts, including the beautiful sideboard, thank you dear Jan! The other two, the jar and the little box, were second hand bargains.
If you are going to purchase cards I highly recommend these beauties from 100% New Zealand owned and operated Rata Design. These are art - and available on-line. You can click through a see more:

In particular you might like these ones:
- A simple fruit loaf instead of Christmas fruit cake - this recipe was passed on to me by my dear friend, Zoe, who has passed on.
- Fruit mince pies made with figs, chopped chocolate and crystallised ginger - grateful thanks to my sister Rachel, for this superb recipe, and past Christmas gifts of the fruit mince!
- Pancakes, served with fresh raspberries - a seasonal treat here in the southern hemisphere - this is included with the article linked to immediately above. It is Rewi's recipe, which I have often been favoured to enjoy!
Other people's food knowledge and skills have been a source of guidance and inspiration over the years, and I think of them as I create my own...
Some of them I can never hope to emulate. One gifted sister (all my sisters are gifted!) created this cake complete with its marzipan icing decorations:
Food can be an excellent gift - if you can bear to part with the fruits of your labours. Some examples of mine are:
Jam and preserves:
The recipe for marmalade was handed on to me by my dear friend, Valerie, whom I think of when I enjoy this, which is often - it's so delicious!
Cordials and other special drinks:
This recipe was given to me by my sister, many thanks, Rachel!
|Lemon drink
Vegetables and herbs grown in your own garden:
The first potatoes of the season are an especially welcome addition to any festive feast. The goodness of my own earth-fresh potatoes reminds me of my former landlord, Ken, who showed me how to plant and grow them. Thanks Ken, that was a wonderful gift!
More gifts from your garden:
Flowers from the garden - anyone would be delighted to receive these, as I was a few years ago - still remembered, thank you, Penelope!
Pot plants or other treasured plants that have been divided can be potted up and shared:
This one was given to me by my special friend Ray, some years ago and has since been divided and shared further with a number of people:

Fruit from other people's gardens can also be a very welcome gift:
Over the last few years my sister, Rachel, has given me a couple of kilos of raspberries purchased at a local berry farm for Christmas. Scrumptious!

In recent articles I've written about a number of things I've made myself, which may provide ideas:

Shopping bags: I made mine from the good bits of worn out sheets - light and strong!
Make a beautiful moisturiser:
It's easy to make plenty at once, so it's no trouble to make extra to give away to loved ones. It lasts for ages! When I get out this recipe I am reminded of my clever and exacting nice, Lucy, who formulated it, thank you Lucy!
Second hand bargains can delight - and if shopping at charity shops this also supports charitable work in the community:
When I shop at these places I'm reminded of the generosity of others in donating items, and of the volunteers who staff them.

Local markets, as well as shops, can be a great source of all kinds of unexpected goodies!

This is one of my favourite activities...
A word about Christmas decorations:
I usually put up a Christmas tree, although I don't regard it as essential. It's a plastic one I keep in wraps for the rest of the year. I have a string of lights and pretty decorations I put on it. Plastic trees are not good environmentally, and indeed if manufactured before a certain date can be harmful to ones health:
I comfort myself that the one pictured was purchased at the local Salvation Army store, so was 'pre-loved' and therefore did not end up in the tip, and I have not created further consumer demand for them by purchasing it new. From memory it cost $3 !
I bought one for another member of the family at the same time, which became a source of amusement both to me and those in the store at the time: I chose the biggest of the half dozen or so that were there, which presented some difficulty in carrying them to the counter, and then of getting them out the door and along the street - everywhere seemed too small for their handling, and bits became detached as we made our way along the street - all part of the fun!
Spending time with those I love is way more important, and thinking back over the year in gratitude to them and other absent friends and relations - these are the vital parts.
Be that as it may, Christmas day has become traditionally associated with the exchange of gifts, and if we wish to participate in that it can be low key and much more relaxed and meaningful than a costly scramble around the shops.
The central message of Christianity, which it has in common with other major religions, is one of love, not only for those who are good to us, but also for the rest of humanity, even when, or arguably most particularly when, it's difficult or seems impossible. Therefore my Christmas wish is
If we all have the willingness to live this out it will surely bring
And let's begin the New Year by striving for it to continue through all the years ahead.
I'll leave you with a gentle meditation on these themes. If it appeals to you, you might like to sit quietly while you dwell on it:
I'll leave you with a gentle meditation on these themes. If it appeals to you, you might like to sit quietly while you dwell on it:
As I breathe in, may I be healed
As I breathe out, may I be loved
As I breathe in, may I be loving
As I breathe out, may I be at peace
When we look after ourselves adequately we can reach out and share peaceably with others. This, rather than frantically rushing around spending money, is the way forward to a better world.

All's fare in love and war: As airlines do battle by slashing prices India's travellers come out winners
A fare war in the Indian skies looms large, with domestic air travellers apparently lapping up the promotional offer announced by SpiceJet on Friday that makes flying even cheaper than train journey.
The move could force other carriers to follow suit, especially since passenger traffic has been steadily declining in recent months with corresponding rise in airfares.
In fact, IndiGo, another low-cost carrier, has already marginally slashed fares on select routes.
Cut price wars are stimulating India's travel market
Though major airlines such as Air India and Jet Airways say they don't have any plans to reduce fares, but they are closely watching the passenger response to the SpiceJet scheme.
The fliers, needless to say, are delighted and are making a beeline for the SpiceJet offer, while hoping that other airlines will also offer a similar bonanza.
The airline is offering a limitedperiod sale across its domestic network for an all-inclusive oneway fare of Rs 2,013. SpiceJet officials said over four lakh tickets had already been sold by Saturday afternoon and expressed confidence that all the 10 lakh seats put on offer would be sold by January 13, when the booking under the promotional scheme closes.
The offer is valid for travel between February 1 and April 30. The company claimed to have sold 200,000 tickets on Friday compared with a daily average of about 45,000.
So heavy is the booking rush - the ticket sale is only online - that the airline portal remains busy throughout the day.
SpiceJet said it had restricted access to its website. Santosh Rathore, a Delhi resident who managed to book a return ticket to Bangalore for his family, said: "We were planning to travel by train. That would have cost me more. The SpiceJet fares are almost 60 per cent less than regular fare."
Another regular flier said: "I hope the old Air Deccan days of cheaper airfares are back."
The SpiceJet bonanza has taken the industry by surprise. While some airlines criticised the move as a bad business decision, some experts begged to differ.
"It is suicidal. It is a wrong business model. They are heading the Kingfisher Airlines way," a top Air India official said.
He, however, added: "We will watch the developments. We will do what is sustainable."
Interestingly, it was Air India that first lowered fares under its special Jaldi Jaldi promotional scheme in last year. However, Kapil Kaul, CEO (South Asia) for aviation think tank Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation, said the move would be good for the market.
"I do not see it as a negative move. It would stimulate the market. You generally have a lean season between February and April. This I think is a good move before busy season that will begin around May. Basically, the offer is for an off-season. Other airlines too should look at that," Kaul said.
But a top Air India official said the carrier already had competitive fares on many routes and had no plan like SpiceJet.
The Jet pokesperson, too, said the company had no plan to reduce its fares. "We have good offers for Gulf and other routes.
We have not thought of anything like SpiceJet," she said. However, a senior official of a top airline did not rule out a move similar to SpiceJet.
The steady decline in the number of passengers is currently a bigger concern than the jet fuel cost for the industry, said an airline official.
Kaul said: "The offer is not for the entire flight. It is a limited inventory. There is nothing wrong in building up an advance booking market, which will help the carrier in capitalisation of funds."

Rumpy says:
I think that many of the Fed's policies of having the opposite of the intended effect and that they would improve the situation with tighter instead of looser policies.
Warrl responds:
1 I disagree with the first part of this. I think the Fed has smart people, and the actual results match the intended results.
2 However, what they CLAIM as the intent does not necessarily match the intended results.
I agree with Warrl's @1 response, there ARE smart people in the Fed;
and disagree with #2.
What is lost or forgotten in the dialogue is the 'soft landing for the US economy'
Back in mid 2008 to late 2008, when it became obvious that we were in for a REAL economic problem, the official, government response was to develop a plan for a 'soft landing'.
In 1st Quarter 2009, a public speach (along with written pieces) reiterated this goal 'soft landing for US economy', and added that many people would continue to be unhappy.
This public prediction that many would be unhappy has come to pass.
AND - the goal of 'soft landing for US economy', at this point in time seems to have been successful.
Therefore, the claimed intent MATCHES the intended/achieved results.

If you take off your Gaines-colored glasses for a second, you'll see that while Chip and Jo are #couplegoals, #housegoals and #alltheothergoals, HGTV has been serving up some solid shows way before Fixer Upper aired. Since the network launched in 1994, the hosts' pleated pants and denim vests have gone out of style, but their design principles certainly haven't. If only these ones would make a comeback, STAT.
1. Designer's Challenge
Before Chris Harrison was Chris Harrison of The Bachelor, he was Chris Harrison of Designer's Challenge. That's right: Instead of consoling weeping women, he helped homeowners choose a new design plan from one of three interior designers. The meetings between homeowner and designer were like Pinterest come to life, with mood boards of layout sketches, carpet samples, and paint chips.
2. Gardening by the Yard
The punny title of this show was too good to ignore. And once you gave it a shot, you found a lovable, bespectacled silver fox (with a mysteriously still-dark mustache) at the helm. That man, Paul James or "The Gardener Guy," gave homeowners basic tips to spruce up their yards — something that's mostly glossed over in today's decorating shows.
3. Designing for the Sexes
Hand-talker and skinny British man Michael Payne brought this show to us in simpler times, when the biggest problem married couples had was how to mesh their unique design styles. He'd talk the issue over with the husband and wife and come up with a solution — like give the man a damn accent wall if he doesn't like your paint choice.
4. Dear Genevieve
This was like Dear Abby for design-minded folks, in which host Genevieve Gorder helped families who'd submitted problems with their homes to HGTV. She made super-difficult dilemmas (the couch, like, totally won't fit in my new living room!) seem manageable when she provided solutions in her perky-meets-soothing voice.
5. Decorating Cents
If your budget was more "Help me, I'm poor" than "Show me the money!", host Joan Steffend was your girl. She'd make over a space with only $500, with special segments like "Trash to Treasure," where she and guest hosts would make garbage look classy AF. And while we mourn the loss of her show, Joan's living her best life as a peace-seeker.
6. Secrets from a Stylist
If there's one common request from people who are renovating their homes, it's this: Make my house look like it's in a magazine. And that's exactly what Emily Henderson, winner of season 5 of HGTV's Design Star, did. The former stylist offered tips to viewers looking to create picture-perfect rooms. The peppy blonde isn't on television anymore, but thankfully we can drool over her vintage-meets-modern designs on her blog.
7. Spice Up My Kitchen
No home makeover show is complete without a hot carpenter, and Spice Up My Kitchen excelled in that requirement: Every week, Jeff Devlin would demolish a homeowner's ugly kitchen and rebuild it based on one of two plans from designer and host Lauren Lake.
