A short update and a book recommendation.
Thank you for the many responses to my column last month on the issue of interns and administration of the sacraments. I have had (and continue to have) lively conversations with interns, former interns, pastors and bishops. I've drafted a letter to our partner bishops in Regions 1 and 3 seeking their wisdom. I'll report back with a more complete response in due time.
For now, just know the conversation is rich, about central aspects of our shared work, and ongoing. Be in touch if you have further thoughts!
Here is a book recommendation you may enjoy.
Pastoral Supervision: A Handbook by Jane Leach and Michael Paterson. SCM Press. 2010. 226 pages. $26 paperback/$15 digital.
Jane is a Methodist minister and directs theological formation for seminarians at Cambridge University in England. Michael is an Episcopalian priest and Director of the Institute of Pastoral Supervision and Reflective Practice. They are both outstanding leaders and teachers in this crucial area of ministry formation. I highly recommend their book, and think it might be especially fruitful for supervisors and students to read and discuss together.

UBS to buy back outstanding bonds in a public tender offer
UBS offers to buy outstanding lower tier 2 debt for up to EUR 1 billion using available cash. The note repurchases would result in a gain that will bolster UBS's tier 1 regulatory capital ratio.
UBS today announces that it is making a tender offer relating to four lower tier 2 bonds with maturity dates between November 2015 and September 2019 and a notional value of around CHF 7 billion. The maximum size of the tender is approximately EUR 1 billion.
The four subordinated notes targeted in this transaction currently trade at a significant discount to their original issuance price. If the transaction proceeds as expected, it would have a small beneficial effect on UBS's Tier 1 regulatory capital ratio.
The tender period will end on March 25.

Afghan troops will begin relying on makeshift solutions for their lack of medical evacuation and fire support when they assume the lead responsibility for security nationwide in March, the deputy commander of U.S. forces said Wednesday.
"My caution to all is that we should not view these solutions through Western eyes and assess them too critically," said Army Lt. Gen. James Terry, commander of the International Security Assistance Force's Joint Command and deputy commander of U.S. Forces-Afghanistan.
The Afghans now have the lead in more than 80 percent of the provinces and will take full control in March, Terry said.
"What we are now seeing as Afghans move in the lead can and will work," Terry said at a Pentagon news briefing. "We must remain patient in support of our partners."
Terry said the U.S. was assisting the Afghans in working out a system of ground evacuation of casualties to make up for the helicopter medevacs that they will lose as U.S. troops continue their drawdown. Clinics, aid stations, and hospitals were being identified along with the fastest routes to get to them, Terry said.
"They're starting to partner with the minister of Public Health and find the hospitals and the clinics, and then actually through mutual agreements, as they evacuate their casualties back by ground, use those clinics and hospitals that are out there," Terry said.
The Afghans also lack the attack aircraft and helicopter gunships to support units that come under fire, Terry said.
"What we must do, then, is bring the surface fire capability to fruition and that's the indirect fire, observed indirect fire," Terry said.
U.S. troops were training and assisting the Afghans in the use of the Cold War-vintage, Russian-made D-30 howitzer, a 122mm weapon, and 60mm mortars.
In his generally upbeat assessment of the progress of the war, Terry warned that U.S. troops faced a continuing threat even as they focused on withdrawal and Afghan forces took the lead.
"That doesn't mean we won't be going out on patrol with them," Terry said.
In their support roles, U.S. troops "will still be conducting operations in combat conditions beside our Afghan partners," Terry said. "The mission will be to train, advise and assist, but again, it will still be in combat conditions."
Terry declined to speculate on the pace of the withdrawal of the 66,000 U.S. troops now in Afghanistan by the end of 2014, as ordered by President Obama.
"I would tell you that the president's stated in the coming months here he's going to make some announcements about the next phase of the drawdown that's out there," Terry said, but "it would be inappropriate for me to even speculate."

European RV manufacturers are struggling with the same problems that their American counterparts are dealing with — falling sales, a need to reduce fuel emissions and making their units lighter to increase mileage.
That's the report from Caravaning Industrie Verband (CIVD), Frankfurt, Germany, the European counterpart to our Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA).
CIVD will sponsor Caravan Salon Dusseldorf 2009 Aug. 29-Sept. 6, which is billed as the world's largest RV show. Last year, 158,000 people from 38 countries attended Caravan Salon.
"All major motorhome and RV manufacturers have registered as exhibiters — evidence of Caravan Salon's status as the sector's leading trade fair," said Wilhelm Niedergoker, managing director of Messe Dusseldorf (Dusseldorf Fairgrounds). "Of course, Caravan Salon has also been affected by international financial and market difficulties. These have resulted in smaller booth areas."
Some 580 companies from 25 countries — 150 that build towable and motorized RVs — will display products and hawk their services in 10 halls and a large outside courtyard encompassing 1.9 million square feet. Registration is roughly the same as it was last year, according to the association.
In total, European RV sales during the first half of the year fell 42% to 32,796 units — 12,101 motorized RVs, a decline of 52.8%; 20,695 towable units, a drop of 33.3% — compared to the first six months of 2008, according to CIVD.
"The low production figures for Germany's recreational vehicle sector are attributable to more than just the economic crisis," said CIVD Director General Hans-Karl Sternberg. "Drastic credit line curtailments by banks forced many dealers throughout Europe to substantially reduce their showroom and warehouse inventories.
"As a result, dealers did not immediately place orders for new vehicles when they sold vehicles from their inventories. This process has now come to an end, for the most part, which means that we can look forward to stabilization of German recreational vehicle production."
Ralph Binder, CIVD public relations director, told RVBUSINESS.COM that more European motorhome manufacturers are building smaller units weighing less than 7,000 pounds so that consumers can operate them without special licenses. "They have found some new methods of saving weight to make the interior lighter," Binder said. "So we have more units coming in at less than 7,000 pounds.
"Caravan (towable) and motorized manufacturers also are building units that are more aerodynamic to save gasoline. And then, of course, because of the market drop since 2009, they are trying to build more price-worthy caravans and motor caravans to make them more affordable for people to buy."
At the same time, another 275 exhibitors will present the latest in hiking and trekking gear and provide information about 5,000 European hiking destinations during TourNatur, an outdoor recreation show Sept. 4-6 that will run concurrent with Caravan Salon.

We have received numerous questions lately regarding blanketing. A horse's winter coat can be an excellent insulator, but its insulating value is lost if it gets wet. It is important to keep the horse dry and sheltered from moisture.
Research has been conducted on the benefits of blanketing a horse to reduce the effects of cold weather. However, most horses are blanketed for various reason (show schedules) and/or personal beliefs of the horse's owner. Blanketing a horse is necessary to reduced the effects of cold or inclement weather when:
- There is no shelter available during turnout periods and the temperatures drop below 5°F, or the wind chill is below 5°F.
- There is a chance the horse will become wet (not usually a problem with snow, much more of a problem with rain, ice, and/or freezing rain and chilly temps).
- The horse has had its winter coat clipped.
- The horse is very young.
- The horse has not been acclimated to the cold.
- Keep in mind a horse will continue to develop a natural winter coat until December 22 (Winter Solstice), when days are becoming shorter. Horses begin to lose their winter coat (and start forming their summer coat) as the days begin to get longer (starting on December 23). Blanketing before December 22 will decrease a horse's natural winter coat.

Letter: Ackerman case reflects poorly on Grand County
To the Editor:
Lucas Ackerman's sentencing is on Feb. 28. It appears from the article in the Sky Hi News that because of the plea bargain, the maximum sentence for Mr. Ackerman will be one year.
The life of a man that was a father, husband, son, friend and an asset to the Estes Park community and who died because of Mr. Ackerman's poor choices is only worth a punishment of 365 days. There are eight children who will have years of growing up without their father's guidance. There is a wife who will enter middle and old age without her life partner. There are parents that will have every holiday with an empty chair as a stark reminder that their son's life was senselessly lost at the hands of a drunken man. There is a church and Scout community that will miss his presence, support and service.
Perhaps the Grand Lake community is not aware of how much time that this family spent on the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park. They had a boat that was docked at the lake. They had a camper that was used every weekend they were able during the spring, summer and fall seasons. And now, these items have been sold because without their father and husband, it will not be possible to spend their time doing these recreational activities. Would the Westley family be treated so callous if they had lived in Grand County?
Our family also enjoyed camping and day trips to Grand County. We were there that tragic 4th of July night, not realizing that the world had lost one of the good guys. We will not be back. Grand County has sent a clear message that a driver can have an alcohol reading twice the legal limit, have a prior record, put his own family in danger, and not have to take any real responsibility for his actions. If the assistant DA thinks a driver whose blood alcohol limit is over twice the legal limit and that this did not contribute to the death of a man, then Grand County is not a safe place to visit. And Mr. Ng needs to go to the MADD website to read about alcohol impairment.
Judge Hoak cites one of the reasons for tentatively accepting the plea bargain as the unwillingness of the victim's family to testify in court. More harsh treatment from Grand County. Did Judge Hoak ever think that eight children witnessed their father die and the mother is just trying to save them from more trauma?
The plea bargain is not reasonable. Not to the Westley family and not even to the Ackerman family. Ackerman's own daughters were a witness to this horrible offense.

These drugs kill Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, which cause
Lyme disease.
Antibiotics are used to cure early
Lyme disease and to greatly reduce the risk of future complications.
Antibiotics may also be used in the later
stages of Lyme disease, when additional symptoms
involving the skin, joints, nervous system, or heart may develop.
The type of antibiotic prescribed depends on your age, symptoms, any antibiotic allergies you may have, and
the stage of Lyme disease. These medicines may be taken orally, as an injection, or
through a vein (intravenous, or IV). The length of antibiotic
treatment varies according to how bad the disease and your symptoms are, but
treatment generally lasts less than 4 weeks.
Early treatment with antibiotics can cure the Lyme disease infection and help
prevent future problems with arthritis, the heart, or the nervous system.1 But
symptoms may not go away right away. Some symptoms may last for several weeks
after treatment. This does not mean that the antibiotics were not successful,
nor does it mean that you need additional antibiotic treatment.
Antibiotic treatment for early symptoms of
chronic Lyme arthritis is usually very effective.
Joints that have been badly damaged by Lyme arthritis may take a long time to
get better after the infection has been cured, or they may not respond to
treatment at all. A small percentage of people in the United States continue to have
symptoms of chronic Lyme arthritis after treatment with antibiotics.2
Heart symptoms often begin to go away before
antibiotics are given. If not, they usually respond to antibiotic therapy
within days. Mild heart symptoms that may occur with early Lyme disease usually
improve after treatment with oral amoxicillin or doxycycline for 21 to 30
Symptoms of
inflammation of the membrane surrounding the brain and
spinal cord (Lyme
meningitis) begin to improve by the second day of
therapy and usually disappear after 7 to 10 days.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you:
Common side effects of these medicines include:
Some people treated for early Lyme disease have headaches, muscle and joint pain, and tiredness that may continue for
a while after treatment. These symptoms usually go away on
their own within 6 months and do not require more treatment.
One large
study suggests that people who take erythromycin along with certain common
medicines may raise their risk of sudden cardiac death.3 The study showed that the risk of dying from a heart problem is
greater when erythromycin is taken with some medicines—such as certain calcium channel blockers, certain antifungal
medicines, and some antidepressants—than when these medicines are not taken
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects.
(Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
should be taken with plenty of fluids and not while you are lying down or right
before bedtime.
Doxycycline is the drug of choice for treating early Lyme
disease in people ages 8 and older. But it should not be given to pregnant
women or to people who are allergic to tetracycline.
If you get
intravenous (IV) antibiotics, you may have weekly
blood tests to check your white blood cell count. The IV antibiotic treatment
may lead to low levels of white blood cells (called leukopenia) that can make
it hard for you to fight infection.
With the exception of pregnant
women and people with severe arthritis or heart problems, most people who have
been exposed to ticks but do not have symptoms are not given antibiotics. Even
in parts of the country where Lyme disease is known to occur often, the risk of
getting Lyme disease is too small to warrant treatment before symptoms
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

As this is written, no one knows how the jury will decide the Trayvon Martin case. And no matter what the jury decides, the verdict will surely arouse strong emotions and debates about race, violence and American society.
In 1856, a South Carolinian sparked our own 'Trayvon Martin case' that inflamed passions, ramped up already overheated rhetoric and some say polarize society such that the Civil War became inevitable.
Now, the Trayvon Martin case is unlikely to spark another Civil War, but the two incidents are both instructive about how single events can quickly become personalized and explode into a national cause that leads to unforeseen consequences.
First the two cases. Unless you have been living in a cave for the past few months, you probably already heard far more about the Martin case than you really want to know. It's been a constant topic in the news for months and media pundits on all sides have had their say.
This is not the place to go into all the details, suffice to say most think "it's all about race" as polls show that overall whites think that Martin was the aggressor and most African Americans think he was the victim.
The historic case of Preston Brooks and Thomas Sumner is more distant but no less dominant in the news of the day - and it too was "all about race" - and the issues of slavery. In 1856 the country was deeply divide over slavery and the questions of secession and a possible civil war was looming, but the war issue was still in the balance and some historians argue it could have gone either way.
In May of 1856, U.S. Sen. Thomas Sumner of Massachuttes, one of the nation's most vocal and virulent opponents of slavery, took the Senate floor and deliver a fiery speech attacking slavery in general and S.C.'s Senator Andrew Butler in specific. Butler's nephew, Congressman Preston Brooks of Edgefield, then proceeded to go to the Senate Chamber and savagely beat Sumner with a cane - striking him more than 30 times and sending Sumner into unconsciousness such that he essentially did not return to the Senate for almost two years.
The incident instantly polarized the county. Brooks' hometown newspaper The Edgefield Advertiser said "Hit him again" which quickly became the rallying cry of Brooks' supporters across the South. Sumner's supporters used word like 'barbaric and blood thirsty' and worse. Ralph Waldo Emerson, a friend of Sumner said the attack had "torn the mask off the faces of traitors, and at last the spirit of the North is aroused."
So is Trayvon Martin a modern day Thomas Sumner and is George Zimmerman the new Preston Brooks? It's not that simple; but it is instructive.
Both incidents show the power of the media to take one single event and transform it into a national obsession. The talking heads of the media take over and stories quickly become reduced to a few simple 'facts' that re-enforce existing opinions and cast the incidents starkly as "Us vs. Them."
In 1856, the unintended consequences of 'The Caning' as it became known, were inflamed passions such that it help fuel the rise of a new anti-slavery political party - the Republican Party. Ironically, the new party's candidate for president in 1856 was John C. Fremont who had grown up in South Carolina and was expelled from the College of Charleston.
So, is the Trayvon Martin case just history repeating itself in some way? Only time will tell what happens.
But, regardless of what the Martin trial jury decides - let's all step back, take a deep breath and think about things before we react. Let's not let things get out of hand.
We all may have more at stake than first appears.

20 years, 20 years, 20 years ... the words and images race through my mind. There was a time I thought I'd be dead before my oldest child reached the age of 7. This year we celebrate his 18th birthday. There was a time I thought I'd be dead and wouldn't need to worry about growing old, debt or finances, long-term relationships and other non-related health issues. There was a time when AIDS and HIV consumed my every waking thought, action, goal and outlook. Today HIV/AIDS is something I live with; it doesn't define who I am. There was a time when I fought publicly and proudly, standing in solidarity with other PWA's, ready to fight every new discriminatory turn and glance ... 20 years, 20 years, 20 years ... 20 years I survive this infection with a virus that has made itself comfortable in my bloodstream and has literally nested in my brain.
Somewhere in the past 13 years, I took a solid break from HIV. I just lived my life. I was noncompliant with my meds. I did the bare minimum in taking care of myself or staying in touch with a community that I had found commonality within. I moved out of the health care worker circles that had so graciously cared for me and lifted me up. I made renegade choices that only today can I see the lasting implications on my life.
Today I'm back, crawling as it may be, not yet ready or able to run, barely able to walk. I start my new life as a blogger for TheBody.com. I hope selfishly that my own online sharing, my new coming out, my personal re-entry into the fray will help me to continue to heal and continue to face my own demons.
I hope that somewhere along the way I'll remember to find the humor in all of the craziness of my life. I don't want these blogs to be too depressing but the truth is that most of my life and the reality of HIV/AIDS is actually very depressing. As I blog more, I'll delve into the reality of neurocognitive issues and my own daily survival with AIDS dementia.
For all of you wondering how the 20 years overall has been for me, the overall outlook is really bright because as my new UCLA AIDS specialist Dr. Ardis Moe recently told me, "Let's just take AIDS off the table. You're not likely to die anytime soon. That's the good news." My psychiatrist, Dr. Timothy Hall, would most likely attest that the bad news is that someone forgot to clue my brain into that news and for some reason it stalls me, secludes me and scares me into acting like I'm dying or that I want to die. Dementia-induced bipolar or dementia-induced depression can do that. It's like living with a brain injury where your brain is stuck in a Ferris wheel of despair and each time you reach the bottom the ride the operator will not let you get off the ride; he forces you back up to the top again where the cycle repeats and repeats. Currently it's taking a lot of concerted efforts by my family, a few close friends, a network of doctors, specialists, counselors, AIDS service volunteers and staff to keep me in check and to force me calmly forward and onward.
For the first time in almost 13 years, I am trying to be compliant with my meds. I am really, really, really trying. The new cocktail I am taking is working but the daily reminder is still often too much to bear. I know that med adherence, a very common subject for many readers, will definitely be a subject for a separate blog entry. For me it may come up repeatedly. We'll have to see how it goes I guess. There's no real reason why I struggle so much with taking the damn meds. Sometimes, my depression gets in the way and my anxiety causes that brain of mine to think all kinds of negative, unwelcome thoughts while literally freezing me into inaction.
I take more pills to battle those demons too, but as of this writing have yet to find the best combination that works for me with the least side effects. It's a long daily work in progress. Sometimes I just don't want to take the pills. I, like so many others, look for the light at the end of this tunnel. Don't misunderstand me. This is a journey that I know I am lucky and fortunate enough to still be walking and trudging along. I believe that this is a path that some Higher Power has created for me, a merciful God who wants me to keep moving forward and find the light of joy and life. There's a reason I'm still here. It can't be because I'm so much fun to be around.
People ask me what gives me strength and joy. It is easy for me to answer that. My kids and my husband give me light. They give me strength. They give me joy. They give me hope. They also give me plenty of grey hairs and worry. Their lives have been drastically affected by the choices I have made and the ramifications of those choices. The lasting effects of living with a wife and mother on disability with a chronic infectious blood disorder and a messed up brain can't be fully understood unless you've shared similar experiences.
Up until today, we seemed to be battling HIV in silence, although our dearest friends and family members are aware of my diagnosis. My husband Tony and I raised our children with a steady hand and a calm unshakable will to exert normalcy and maintain the status quo. Moving forward, in my choosing to live, in my choosing to fight my brain and all the mixed up chemistry it wants to use to overwhelm me, I'm going to try to examine the good, the bad, the ugly, the in between and hopefully find things to write about. My kids and my husband are each comfortable with me being public again and they each know they may at times find themselves referenced in the content of my blogs. I have promised to be gentle and loving in my prose. In a separate entry, I'll look at the issues that surrounded our need for privacy for all these years as well as my newfound freedom and sense of release in coming out again as positive.
I'm truly hoping that writing will bring me personal peace and utility. Writing can let me open my mind to the infinite possibilities and dreams. Just imagine a life without HIV, a cure within my lifetime, a future to gravitate to and dreams that are so big they can light up the night sky.
I hope you'll join me and connect with me on this blog. Let me know your thoughts, comments, questions or concerns. Let me know what you want to hear about. 20 years is a monumental thing to me. 20 years and I'm still here and I'm back!.
Now let me see if with my demented brain and injured memory I can figure out the path for the next 20 and beyond: one step at a time; one crawling baby step.
Lynda Arnold, RN, BSN, MBA, was one of the first health care workers to go public after her occupational infection with HIV by an accidental needlestick in 1992. After the birth of her youngest son, Lynda chose to step away from the public eye.

Are Markets and the Fed on the Same Page?
Is there a disconnect between the markets and the Federal Reserve? The markets may not have fully baked in the data the Fed has in its hands to cause it not start tapering its bond buying. Rex Macey, Wilmington Trust chief investment officer, joins MoneyBeat. Photo: AP.

"Halt & Catch Fire" From AMC Studios, Created by Chris Cantwell & Chris Rodgers,
Executive Producer Mark Johnson ("Breaking Bad," Diner, Rain Man)
and Melissa Bernstein ("Breaking Bad")
"Turn" From AMC Studios, Written by Craig Silverstein ("Nikita")
Executive Producer Barry Josephson ("Bones," Enchanted)
New York - November 27, 2012 - AMC announced today pilot orders for scripted dramas "Halt & Catch Fire" and "Turn." Production on both is scheduled for 2013. This announcement comes on the heels of the network's last round of pilot orders for "Low Winter Sun" and the "Untitled LaGravenese/Tony Goldwyn project," both of which recently completed production.
"These additional pilot orders demonstrate AMC's investment in our original scripted programming," said Susie Fitzgerald, AMC's SVP of scripted development and current programming. "Both of these projects take the audience into unique worlds through compelling characters told with an original voice. We are so fortunate to be working with such exceptional talent on both of these projects."
Set in the early 1980s, "Halt & Catch Fire" dramatizes the personal computing boom through the eyes of a visionary, an engineer and a prodigy whose innovations directly confront the corporate behemoths of the time. Their personal and professional partnership will be challenged by greed and ego while charting the changing culture in Texas' Silicon Prairie. From AMC Studios, "Halt & Catch Fire" is created by Chris Cantwell and Chris Rodgers. Mark Johnson ("Breaking Bad," Diner, Rain Man) and Melissa Bernstein ("Breaking Bad") from Gran Via Productions serve as executive producers.
Based on the book "Washington's Spies," written by Alexander Rose, "Turn" is set in the summer of 1778 and tells the story of New York farmer, Abe Woodhull, who bands together with a group of childhood friends to form The Culper Ring, an unlikely group of spies who turn the tide in America's fight for independence. "Turn," also from AMC Studios, is written by showrunner Craig Silverstein ("Nikita") and executive produced by Barry Josephson ("Bones," Enchanted) from Josephson Entertainment.
AMC's EVP of original programming, production and digital content Joel Stillerman, Susie Fitzgerald, and Jason Fisher, SVP of production, will oversee the pilots' development and production.

Chloe really wanted to give something to her close friends that are not in her class for Valentine's Day. We had already made her class treat bags a couple of weeks ago. I thought these birds from CC Design would be perfect. They look like buddies too! I'd made the little treat bags on the bottom first and then had a few scraps left over so I went ahead and made a little card too!

ETA: Alex was asking how I made these treat bags....they are super fast and easy!
I used a piece of Cameo Coral CS 4 1/4 x 8 3/4.
Then scored it at 6 1/2
Stamped the inside of the CS with a heart from the CC Design sets in Cameo Coral.
The little bags are ones I found at Michael's. They were packaged in 100 and had a silver twist tie. Think I got them from the candy making section.
I used a little bit of Sticky Strip to attach the bags at the top on the inside. So this way you can still open the bag when the flap is up and get the candy.
I then folded over the flap and used the Crop A Dile to punch two holes through the CS and the bag. Tied it with ribbon and decorate. Hope that helps!
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope to see you again real soon!

|"Cliff Purdy and Uncle Lou"
The back of this photo that I inherited from my Great Aunt Gladys (by way of my Aunt Yvonne) says, "Cliff Purdy and Uncle Lou". Cliff (on the right) was Gladys' and my great grandmother Blanche's brother. His real name was Jonathan Clifford Purdy, but everyone always called him Cliff. He was born on April 17, 1892 in Minnesota to Jonathan Edward Purdy and Jennie Cole Purdy. Jennie was raised by her Cole grandparents and grew up with her uncle Lewis Fredrick Cole. I believe that Lewis is the "Uncle Lou" in the photo (on the left). He was extremely close to Jennie and it has been said that he considered her his sister rather than his niece. Since Cliff's father died shortly after his birth and Lewis never had any children of his own, it is not hard to imagine that Cliff may have also enjoyed a close relationship with his (great) uncle. Lewis was born on June 4, 1855 in New York -the last child of Asa Cole and Mary Eastman. He lived in many different places during his life, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and Washington.
Since this Real Photo postcard has AZO and four triangles pointing up where the stamp is to be placed, it must be from between 1904-1918. Only in the 1910 Federal Census were both Lewis and Cliff living in Washington State, so that timeframe fits nicely. There is no photographer stamp, so I have nothing else substantial to go on to place an exact date for this photo. I did find other "fake cowboy" photos from 1910 and, in one, the men were even wearing fuzzy pants just like Cliff is wearing here. In 1910 Cliff would have been 18 and Lewis would have been 55, which looks about right, so I will tentatively date the photo then.
I wonder if they were at a fair or just went to a studio to have their photo taken for fun. Cliff (like his mother)obviously enjoyed having his picture taken since I have inherited so many of him, including a number of other Real Photo postcards. It is funny to me that they pretended to be cowboys. Lewis had, no doubt, experienced many real adventure while moving West along the frontier, yet he apparently still enjoyed a good game of dress-up (or, maybe, he just wanted to please his favorite nephew)!
Happy Sepia Saturday!

After I watchted the sneak peek to the upcomic dc animated movie "Bad Blood" I had the idea to turn what we know of the plot so far into a little rpg here on Arkhamverse.com.
For those of you you haven´t heard of the movie yet, Bad Blood tells the story of how Gotham City has been attacked by the new villain Heretic (who some may know as the man who killed Damian Wayne in Batman Inc).
While Bruce is presumed to be dead the rest of the Batfamily, now including Batwoman has to work together in order to defend Gotham against the most dangerous opponent they´ve ever faced.
You can take the role of a member of the Batfamily or a villain allied with the Heretic. Characters not canon in the universe of the movie (which takes place in the same universe as Flashpoint, Justice League War and Son of Batman/Batman VS Robin) are also okay, but we should talk about how they fit into the story so they don´t feel out of place or make it more difficult for us to work together to reach a satisfying ending to this story.
- Please contact me if you want to play a character not canon in this universe (Tim for example)
Questions, comments, and all general out-of-character talk is to be done within spoiler tags.
- Keep On-Topic. Don't move on to a different universe
- You can't control what another character does. This is espacially important in fight scenes. Describe how your character attacks and then allow the other player to describe whether his character is hit or manages to counter in some way
- Make sure grammar, spellings etc. is mostly used correctly.
- Please contribute at least a small post each week, contact me if you are no longer interested
Canon Characters:
How to get started:
- introduce your character in a extract or paragraph
- I´ll join you as soon as the first player has posted
- At least once a week, visit this role-play and continue your story
The Story thus far:
Bruce rescued Kathy Kane from a group of muggers, inspiring her to become Batwoman.
6 months after Batman vs Robin.
Heretic attacked Batman and Batwoman on a mission. Batman was caught in an explosion during the fight. Kathy was unable to find any sign that he is still alive.
Alfred tries to cover up the dissapearance of Bruce Wayne. Meanwhile Dick Grayson unsuccesfully attempts to convince the underworld that he is Batman. He needs Kathy and Batwings help if he wants to stand a chance against the villains Hertic has assembled to take control of Gotham.
Damian learns of the Batmans disappearance and leaves the monastery he lived in after his battle against Talon in search for inner peace.

I scanned a number of school photos when I visited with Clair Grove. After posting them to the website, I went through to make sure I included the teacher names on the Schools pages. One of the scans I found was a list of the Penn Township teachers from an unknown year.
This article was published in the Huntingdon Daily News 50 years after it's original publication. The exact date of publication and the follow-up date are not known. However, I do know that James Brumbaugh was at the Bower School during the years 1901-1902 and 1915-1917. Using my genealogy detective skills, Blanche Lininger was not born until 1902, so for her to be a teacher too, this article had to have originally been published between 1915-1917.
This article brought two new schools to my attention: the Brumbaugh School and the White School. Obviously, both schools are no longer in existence, and were probably lost for the construction of Raystown Lake if not before. It makes sense to me that the Brumbaugh School should have been somewhere in the vicinity of the Brumbaugh Homestead and Cemetery. However, no one I've talked to remembers it or knows where it was. My dad remembers the White School. It was on the road that now takes you into the Susquehannock Campground. For the old timers, he told me it was between the Speck's house and the White's lane on the right hand side of the road.
I would love to learn more about these two schools and any other schools in the Woodcock Valley for which I have not yet created a page or do not have photos or a lot of information. I would love to have building photos, class photos, souvenir booklets, teacher's names, pupil's names, and any other helpful information you might be able to share. If you can contribute some school-related items, post a comment below or send me a message using the Contact Me form.
In the mean time, please be sure and check out the Schools page and the Schools photo album.

Harvard dipped to 7-8 on the year with two losses Friday (Gil Talbot).
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The Harvard softball team fell to two opponents from the state of Ohio, dropping a 2-1 final to Ohio and a 4-1 decision to Ohio State, at the second day of the San Diego Classic II Friday. Harvard dips to 7-8 on the season with the pair of losses.
The Bobcats snatched a 1-0 lead early in Harvard's first game of the day, picking up an RBI double for the first-inning lead. Harvard hurler Laura Ricciardone was on her game early, keeping the Bobcats to a hit an inning through the first three frames. Ohio doubled its lead in the top of the third, plating a run on a fielder's choice, but Harvard answered back with its first run of the game in the bottom of the inning. Ellen Macadam walked to start the inning and Whitney Shaw and Kasey Lange laced singles to load the bases. Stephanie Regan followed by lifting sacrifice fly to left field, allowing Macadam to come home with Harvard's lone run.
Macadam finished the game with a pair of hits, a run scored, a steal and a walk while Shaw, Lange and Ashley Heritage all collected a hit in the game. Ricciardone fell to 1-3 on the season, allowing just five hits and two runs over seven innings while striking out three.
Rachel Brown toed the rubber for Harvard against Ohio State and held the Buckeyes scoreless through the first four innings. The Crimson came across with the game's first run in the top of the fifth, staking Brown to a 1-0 lead late. Jane Alexander led off the inning with a ringing double to left center and Lange drove in Alexander with her own double to left center. Back-to-back triples by the Buckeyes in the bottom of the inning gave them a 2-1 lead at the end of the fifth and a two-RBI double in the next frame finished the scoring in the 4-1 final.
Lange finished the game 2 for 3 from the plate with an RBI and Alexander, Shelbi Olson and Stephanie Regan all had hits in the game. Brown went six innings in her third loss of the season, fanning nine Buckeyes in the outing.
Harvard caps off its spring break trip Saturday with a game against San Diego at 1:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. EST).
