Historian of French Art Francis H. Dowley, 1915-2003
Francis H. Dowley, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Art History at the University of Chicago, died Friday night, Dec. 5, of natural causes at the University Hospitals. He was 87 years old. A renowned expert on the art of early modern France and a lifelong bachelor with an "absolute devotion to the unfashionable," Dowley's distinctive approach produced highly original work and students.
Dowley, "Frank" to those who knew him, was described as a sovereign master of his subject who approached its study directly, though close reading and intimate knowledge of the artwork itself. Mary Harvey, Associate Provost of the University who earned a Ph.D. under Dowley, said that "his command of the oeuvres of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century artists was encyclopedic. To study Poussin, or Rembrandt, with Mr. Dowley was to grapple with the inconsistencies of style and entertain subtle nuances of meaning. His appetite for images was insatiable - and his love for them infectious." Barbara Stafford, the William B. Ogden Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Art History and the College, added that Dowley encouraged people to look at important subjects that were not trendy: when Dowley did his Ph.D. work on an crucial series of 18th century sculptures, "nobody was looking at sculpture, it was all painting, and he really opened up the field." His dissertation was never published; instead, he gave ideas to students and influenced the field through them. "Frank didn't write a lot, his students did it for him. Underneath all that quirk was an enormous intellectual generosity."
Stafford characterized Dowley as a uniquely vibrant personality: "Frank was lovely, quirky, intimidating - he knew everything about everything about his period and had a band of absolutely devoted students. He had this kind of French courtliness, a gallantry maintained always, but he was also a bachelor who never married, had a rather monkish existence and lived for many years in the [University of Chicago's famous] Quadrangle club, if you can imagine that. He finally, after years and years, moved because the club needed the space, and when he moved there were mountains of paper, papers on papers, books on books. He had one black suit, shiny with age, one white shirt and one black tie. He was eccentric in the best way: he was his own person. And he absolutely adored his students and did everything for them. If you were in the department you felt you had to study with Frank Dowley, and he remained loyal to you throughout his life."
Born in New York City on December 13, 1915, Francis Hotham Dowley graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton University in 1936, going on to earn an M.A. in Philosophy in 1941 and a Ph.D. in Art History in 1955, both from the University of Chicago. During World War II he served as an ensign in the U.S. Navy, an experience he recalled warmly in later years. From 1946-47, Dowley held a fellowship at the Institute of Fine Arts in New York, and from 1947-49, he researched eighteenth-century French portraiture in Paris on a fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies. He was hired to teach at Chicago in 1949, and spent the rest of his career here, receiving tenure in 1958 and a full professorship in 1974. He served as a member of the American Society for Eighteenth Century Studies, the College Art Association of America and La Société de l'Histoire de l'Art français. He wrote such pieces as "Sobriety and Elegance in the Baroque" and "Thoughts on Poussin, time, and narrative: The Israelites gathering manna in the desert," in which he laid out his approach, "one founded in the examination of the visual work of art as an end in itself, not the visual manifestation of aesthetic theory."
Harvey remembers a human being who was down to earth and approachable despite his brilliance, whose "office door was always open to any student, and many with no particular interest in his field of Baroque art were regular visitors. He was ever eager to discuss an art historical problem, to offer bibliographic advice from his astonishing card files, or perhaps to share some campus gossip over instant coffee.".

I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life
John 14.1-4
variety of ways to understand this:
1. Jesus is coming at your death to take you to heaven
"my father's house" = heaven
"go to prepare a place" = build a room
"I will come again" = when you die
"take you to myself" = bring you to heaven
2. talking about him coming through the spirit (on Pentecost)
"my father's house" = "my father's household"
"go to prepare a place" = his work on the cross atones for our sins so we can enter God's household
"I will come again" = coming of the spirit
"take you to myself" = dwell in you
cf. John 14.15-28
3. age to come: he goes away and comes back to receive them unto himself (gathering together) so they will be where he is (on earth)
"my father's house" = temple => God's presence
"go to prepare a place" = position in the kingdom
"I will come again" = 2nd coming of Jesus
"take you to myself" = resurrection
"that where I am you may be also" = Jesus' destiny is to rule the world, so we will be with him
"The only other time he's used the expression it referred to the temple. The point about the temple, within the life of the people of Israel, was that it was the place where heaven and earth met. Now Jesus hints at a new city, a new world, a new 'house.' Heaven and earth will meet again when God renews the whole world. At that time there will be room for everyone."
--N. T. Wright, John for Everyone: Part Two (Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press, 2004), p. 58.
Matthew 25.31-34 "inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world"
John 14.4-11 Jesus claims he is God's representative
John 14.10 Jesus' works are the Father's works
John 14.24 Jesus' words are the Father's words
John 7.16 Jesus' teaching is the Father's
John 4.34 Jesus' food is to do the Father's will
John 5.19, 30 Jesus can do nothing on his own
also see Jn 6.38; 8.26, 28, 42; 12.49-50
Jesus is the clearest image of God you can get in a human being. Jesus did what God wanted done in a given situation. Jesus said what God wanted said in a given situation. When you looked at Jesus you saw through him to God himself. So, rejecting Jesus is rejecting God. You can't have God and not Jesus.
John 14.6 Jesus talks in an unusual manner. This one verse is like a bone caught in our society's throat. Even so, these words are actually good news for our society.
Objection 1: All religions say the same thing, basically
Objection 2: All religions have a bit of the truth (piece of the pie)
Objection 3: The only reason why you believe these facts is because of where you were born in America into a Christian family
Objection 4: Evangelism is arrogant because it involves trying to convince other people that their views are at best inadequate and at worst wrong
The truth is everyone is an "exclusivist." We can't help it. It's how we're wired. Everyone thinks their take on life is the best!
Jesus is the way! Jesus is the truth! Jesus is the life!

Museum Guide
Museums are full of artifacts. There are items which explain history, evolution, geology, and present day cultures and traditions from around the world. But these artifacts mean nothing to us unless they are explained in ways that we understand. Each artifact or exhibit has descriptions and explanations written on cards nearby, but often, these simple explanations are not enough. The little cards can't give full explanations of the political atmosphere in England at the time the artifact was made or the history of the basket work from the Zulu nation.
Museum guides however, can give us the full explanation. They know the history of the pieces on display, and it is their job to share this history with museum visitors. These guides accompany visitors throughout museums or exhibits, explaining the historical, scientific, or cultural significance of each piece. The guides are there to make each artifact and display relevant to the visitors' own lives.
Guides might give general tours, or they might run scheduled visits or programs. They may accompany visitors into research labs, archives, and other spaces the public cannot go on their own. They may run educational programs with school groups, playing games, cooking, and running art workshops, bringing the artifacts and their stories to the children in a more direct way. Programs may have to be set up and cleaned up after each activity or tour.
Some museums, especially ones set up as historical sites, are not accessible without a guide. The guides in these museums are often dressed in historical costume, and perform traditional tasks, such as churning butter and carpentry. These guides do not always accompany tours, but wait to greet visitors from various locations throughout the museum.
Museum guides are crucial members of the museum team. They help to make artifacts and history come alive with stories, facts, and explanations about the simple items on display.

"Working with Michael Brewbaker and his team at Summit Mortgage made my home loan process painless. The level of service I received was significantly better than my previous home buying experience with a different mortgage company. I highly recommend them!"
Harlan – 7/2017
"When I was searching for a mortgage company I spoke to a number of different loan officers, and most of them gave me an uncomfortable "used car salesman" vibe. After our first email exchange, I knew that I wanted to work with Michael and Summit Mortgage. He answered all of my questions directly, was very transparent throughout the entire process, and was available during all hours. Most importantly, I knew that I could trust him completely. This was my first time buying a house so I was unfamiliar with many of the details. Even so, I was always confident that everything he did was in my best interest. I have heard so many horror stories about how stressful buying a house can be, but that was not my experience at all. I was able to focus on finding the perfect house for me and my family, and leave all the rest up to Michael. Thank you!!"
Andrew – 6/2017
"Probably one of the best mortgage guys that I found when I bought my house. Very friendly to talk to and explains any questions you have that you do not understand. Ran multiple numbers for me when I was looking at any house and if he did not answer right away he would get back to you as soon as possible even if it was late at night he would try his best. Till this day I still contact him about any questions on the house and still is the most friendliest guy to talk to just like the first day I talked with him. Was very quick moving on all the paper that I needed to get into my current house. I would highly recommend Michael Brewbaker in any purchase for a house! Thanks for all the help getting my wife and I into my current house!"

Stephen has tasted the earth from the depths of his soul,
grown anew and stretched his branches towards the sun,
with roots firm and strong in their darkness…
Stephen Mullaney-Westwood was born in Hertfordshire England and has always felt a little 'different' to others.
His sensitive and artistic nature outcast him somewhat, and he had a hard time mentally throughout those teenage and young adult years, trying to find his 'place in the world'.
Ultimately, it was a journey and writing always accompanied him along the way… that and the many other artistic projects he turned his hand to… be it designing board games, writing songs and playing drums in a gothic punk band, or playing the djembe…
Through his life he has written numerous short stories and even completed several novels, most of which he has not felt were quite ready for release.
He was first published under the name S.Westwood in 2007 through the mental health publisher 'Chipmunka'- with an autobiography 'Suicide Junkie' which was later re-released under the title 'Body dysmorphic disorder- memoir' – with revisions- in 2012.
Following the success of 'Suicide Junkie', a collection of Stephen's short prose and fiction was then released.
Whilst, admittedly, suffering somewhat from poor editing, the collection certainly expresses Stephen's changing state of mind… often negative, yet with a promising ray of hope… and also includes some interesting examples of his fable storytelling style.
Stephen went on to work with others who either had a psychology background or suffered mental health issues themselves. He has spoken about his illness on daytime TV shows, on radio and in magazines and spent a few years public speaking to help professionals become more aware of how their clients might feel. He has had pieces published in mental health journals, and even endorsed a self-help book on the subject of BDD.
The monster that is BDD crawls in the shadows, lurking, but always present… his attacks are frequent, though not as relentless as they were in times past… I think he is getting older, weaker, but I know he will never give in.
For years he kept close company with depression… a monster even more sinister than he… whispering words in my ears at night… wanting to do me harm. But this companion is kept outside now, and BDD is often left alone… and lonely… begging to be noticed.
I have turned my back on them both… but I know they are there.
The beast that is fibromyalgia came in the night, crept into my muscles and bones, reminding me that I am alive, and hoping that I would wish I was not. I think depression sent him.. I think it was revenge. But I do not fight him… I know he wants that. He wants me to fight to get back what once I was. But what I was is not something I covet. Fighting would be handing depression a key back into my world… But my world has altered.
And so through all odds… I live in this world.
Stephen also wrote several published reviews in 'Retro Gamer' magazine, remembering the innocent past of the 1980s, but now concentrates on writing fiction under his married name
He is more positive, older, and wiser now that he has passed the grand age of 40; intent upon writing with a potent message which has come through a deep love of the natural world.
His debut novel was 'FORGOTTEN THINGS'
Although the novel undertook several rewrites, 'Forgotten Things' was finally written in a secluded 150 year old cottage on the Scottish borders, surrounded by woodland and Neolithic burial mounds.
With the final editing taking place in his Cotswold cabin on the hill, with the woods, again, as his inspirational backdrop.
While waiting for publishers to decide if they could share his vision, Stephen self-published a collection of thirteen short stories:
…a few of which were re-tellings of tales previously published in 'A Moment Gone'.
With self-publishing made easy the book market is both diverse and saturated. Traditional publishers are struggling to stay afloat and are having to air on the side of caution, releasing more 'safe bets'.
Stephen's novel is drenched in pagan, ecological philosophy and this is a predominantly secular, prosaic world…
Yet there does seem to be somewhat of a spiritual dawning, where people are again interested in mind body and spirit. The environment is on more of our minds, and pagan ideals are no longer vilified. There is a healthy trend in supernatural acceptance where it is not abnormal to question organised religions and despite technological progress, remember what is truly important.
And so, in summer 2015, Stephen decided to release 'Forgotten Things' himself…
With full creative control the book you read will be his work, and his work alone. You will be reading from his spirit.
It is now even available as an audiobook… direct from 'Audible' and released on CD and download from Circle of Spears.
For his second novel 'PARADISE SHIFT', released January 31st 2018, Stephen did not even consider a publisher – content to self publish… for his words to be edited only by his choice, and for his art to reach you in the form in which he had molded it.
Stephen has found his place…
To write, and to speak out for the world of nature…
in his words and in his lifestyle…
A voice of the woodland realms.

Alexander Kristoff wins on the Champs-Élysées
With every winner of the past nine Champs-Élysées stages having already left the race, today was a chance for someone new to triumph on the so-called sprinter's World Championships.
>>> Geraint Thomas wins the 2018 Tour de France as Alexander Kristoff takes final stage victory
There were plenty of candidates, with John Degenkolb (Trek-Segafredo) leading out the sprint, Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ) finishing fast and Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data) also getting himself into the mix. But it was Alexander Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates) who came out on top to claim his biggest victory in years.
This victory has been long in the making. After excelling in 2014 to win two stages in what was just his second Tour appearance, Kristoff went winless in each of the next three editions. He had become something of a perpetual bridesmaid, registering five top five finishes at this Tour alone to add to many more near misses in recent years.
Today his draught comes to an end, with a victory that is a fitting reward for years of perseverance.
A great speech from Geraint Thomas
Give the sense of humour and charm Geraint Thomas has demonstrated in so many interviews in the past, we eagerly anticipated his speech on the podium as winner of the Tour de France.
The Welshman did not disappoint. He started by thanking and listing his Sky team-mates only to forget half of them, needing a prompt from Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) beside him to remind him to include Michal Kwiatkowski. He only managed to remember to thank his wife at the very end, and closed his speech with a mike drop.
We're not sure what the French will make of it, or how it will sound in translation, but having experienced Bradley Wiggins' 'we're just going to draw the raffle numbers' seven years ago, perhaps it won't seem too unusual a speech.
It was an example of what makes Thomas such a likeable character (although his wife and Kwiatkowski might not think the same having so nearly been snubbed), and a great ambassador for the Tour.
Last ditch efforts for stage wins come to nothing
A sprint finish on the Champs-Élysées might seem like an inevitability, but every year the stage is nonetheless full of attacks from riders eager to make the most of one last chance to gain a win.
Today's longest lasting break was notable for how many teams were represented without a stage win to their name – Wanty-Groupe Gobert had Guillaume Van Keirsbulck, Direct Energie had Damien Gaudin, EF Education First-Drapac had Taylor Phinney, and Katusha-Alpecin had Nils Politt.
It was a group of powerful rouleurs, who worked together well, but they all went home empty handed when the peloton swallowed them up 8km from the finish.
The day's most threatening breakaway was still to come, however. Following a move from Daniel Oss (Bora-Hansgrohe), Yves Lampaert (Quick-Step Floors) took off out of the front of the peloton as the finish line approached. A surprisingly large gap opened up and for a few moments it looked as though the powerful young Belgian might hold on, but he tired in the finishing straight and was reeled in by the peloton.
No Champs-Élysées win for Peter Sagan
Two days after his self-proclaimed worst ever day on the bike, Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) didn't manage to recover in time to contest for victory on the Champs-Élysées.
The injuries sustained in a stage 17 crash made for a very difficult final few stages, to the extent where his completion of the race had been plunged into doubt.
However, there were clearly hopes within the team that the world champion had the condition to contest the stage, as Bora-Hansgrohe riders frequented the front of the peloton as the finish approached, but Sagan could only sprint for eighth place.
Nevertheless, this has still arguably been the best Tour de France of Sagan's career. Three stage wins equals his previous best tally (from 2012 and 2016), and his huge total of 477 points in the green jersey competition is his highest to date.
Dan Martin awarded the super-combativity prize
One of the most familiar sights of the 2018 Tour de France was that of Dan Martin (UAE Team Emirates) going out on the attack.
The Irishman added excitement to many dull passages of the race by breaking out of the peloton at every opportunity, often remarking in post-race interviews that his motivation for doing so was, above all, to have fun.
For his efforts, he's been awarded the super-combativity award, given to the rider deemed to have been the most aggressive rider at the Tour de France.
The decision was something of a surprise, especially given the tendency for a French rider to win – home favourite Julian Alaphilippe (Quick-Step Floors) seemed a prime candidate.
But Martin is undoubtedly a worthy winner, and wore the red number with honour on the Champs-Élysées – even if he didn't manage one final attack.

The workplace is undergoing tremendous change as the the result of new technology, shifting societal attitudes and new generations of workers with different needs and ideas.
The pace of change in the workplaces is picking up. These are the top trends we think that will influence how people work this year.
- Top talent is shrinking
Many countries including the US, China, Japan, Italy and South Africa will face talent shortages. Skills predicted to be in demand include management, legal, sales and marketing, operations as well as IT proficiency. This talent shortage will challenge organisations to find and keep the best people. They will need to engage employees with workplaces that support their wants and needs. Creating vibrant offices is one tactic to recruit and retain talent. Providing flexibility and choices for where, when and how work happens is also critical for attracting the best and brightest people.
- More people are working remotely and not at their desks.
At any given time, about one-third of all knowledge workers in private and public sectors are working remotely. And only about 40 per cent of employees with assigned spaces are actually using them. Mobility is therefore crucial to today's workforce. In addition to their offices, employees are working in airplanes, hotels, at client sites and at home. They need to be supported with technology and business processes that allow them to work effectively wherever they are.
- Activity-based work settings are on the rise.
Because the nature of today's work is so complex and unpredictable, a single, all-purpose workstation doesn't cut it for most knowledge workers. Workplace designers need to provide a variety of 'activity settings', or purpose-built areas for specific activities accessible to all. Activity settings might include impromptu meeting areas, formal meeting spaces, project rooms, individual work spaces or break areas that make up for the shortcomings of exclusively cellular or open-plan environments. One size does not fit all.
- Buildings can help or hinder productivity.
Buildings can improve overall productivity and performance by as much as 12.5 per cent or reduce them by as much as 17 per cent. That's a 30 per cent swing between employee performance in the best and worst buildings according to a Carnegie Mellon study 'High Performance Buildings'. Interestingly, the same factors that enable productivity can inhibit it. Some background noise, for example, can boost productivity for routine or administrative tasks. Yet that same noise can be highly distracting when employees are conducting research or writing tasks.
Lighting is generally viewed as positive, except when it causes glare. The most common building-related culprits for hindering productivity include issues with temperature, air quality, lack of natural light, noise, spaces that feel crowded and poor ergonomics.
- Flexible work boosts engagement and satisfaction.
Flexible work allows employees to work when, how and where they choose and is generally popular with employees. According to a US study 'Workplace Flexibility: Research to Action', 30 per cent of employees with easy access to flexible work arrangements report feeling very engaged in their jobs. Compare this to the 19 per cent engagement among those with moderate flexibility and the 10 per cent engagement among those with little access to flexibility.
- People are the most important metric.
Financial losses due to absenteeism and "presenteeism" (a loss of workplace productivity from employee health problems or personal issues) account for four per cent of operating costs according to a 2012 study entitled 'The people side of change'.
Though the design and construction of quality workspaces comes with a cost, it pales in comparison to the cost of employees who are not engaged, healthy and performing at high levels.
Linda Trim is the Director at workplace design specialists Giant Leap.

Elon Musk, the showy CEO of Tesla, will begin production of his much-discussed mainstream-priced Model 3 electric car on Friday, beating his schedule by two weeks, but Chinese-owned Volvo today sought to upstage him with the announcement that it will stop introducing new fully combustion vehicles next year.
The Wall Street Journal's William Boston reports that Volvo will introduce only fully electric or hybrid battery-and-combustion cars as of the 2019 model year, the beginning of a phase-out of combustion-only. Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson was light on details apart from reiterating Volvo's previous vow to sell 1 million electrics and hybrids a year by 2025. But the early abandonment of conventional cars is stunning. Bloomberg's energy geopolitics writer Javier Blas tweets, "First major automaker to go all electric / hybrid — this will cause concern from Saudi Arabia to Exxon Mobil."
Why it matters: Volvo's move vastly escalates the commercial and geopolitical contest to dominate electric cars, a warning shot at Detroit and rivals across the globe that they may have to be bold if they want to compete in the new age of transportation.

"...John wanted to use his military PT training to create achievable and challenging fitness programmes, ...with the emphasis on correct technique."
Wright Fitness - Personal Training, Health & Fitness Classes.
From leaving the Army, Wright Fitness was a new business start-up with the issue of how to raise awareness, position and create a unique brand that would reflect John Wright's values, that people could understand, identify and engage with. And in doing so, our aim was to drive traffic to the website, encourage membership and brand advocacy for John Wright's (former British Army Physical Training Instructor) methodology, classes and personal training.
John's passion as a former British Army P.T.I (Physical Training Instructor), for helping people achieve their health and fitness goals, not by physically 'beasting' them, as you might expect of an Army P.T.I., but by using his military training to create achievable and challenging fitness programmes with exercises done properly.
This led us to coin the phrase Total Body Fitness "The Wright Way" to position the brand, as it embodies everything people would come to understand about John's values, as well as taking a high ground position compared to all others. And as this uses his name in the line, it couldn't get any sweeter for us, because only he could truly and uniquely own this brand positioning statement.

I wrote last year about the change in packaging of Aruba Aloe and pricing. This year it appears to be completed and I was so sad to see what has transpired.
I love the shampoo and would always buy it and bring home at least 12 bottles (last year it wasn't available due to repackaging/repranding). Well this year it was available but sadly, it is now far too expensive. A bottle of shampoo was $9 now it is $16!!! Sorry, but $16 is too costly for me.
In addition, all of their regular creams have been repackaged in green bottles with a huge increase in pricing. We would bring back as gifts the small bottles of hand cream and they cost about $10, however, they now are slightly smaller and cost $15!! They have a travel size for $10. TOO EXPENSIVE!! Same goes for their regular size creams. Glad I get a free one at the Surf Club.
Their sunscreen was also very nice but alas, it has become very costly too. The faces sunscreen is the only one I might consider as it is about the same price as a "good" faces sunscreen at home. The small bottle is $16.
So sad.....

Attention LUGers and LUGer-wannabes: I am helping reintroduce the Lancaster Linux User Group. With the rising cost of fuel, driving to the CPLUG meetings doesn't fit everyone's budget or busy schedule. So anyone who is interested, please visit the blog and post a comment stating your level of interest. I have spoken to several people already and feel that we could begin to form a great group in no time. BTW, we will plan on scheduling our meetings on a different day that the CPLUG does so that we do not create a conflict with their meetings.
3 Responses to "Lancaster Linux User Group"
I am interested in learning more about/participating in the Lancaster Linux User Group. Thanks, Teb
There are many more people into Linux than what you know of here in Lancaster County.
Our local Amateur Radio Club (Lancaster Radio Transmitting Society) http://www.lrts.org has quite a few linux users including myself.
Has there been any progress towards the first llug meeting?

Solid Roof Conservatory Roof Replacement Northamptonshire
Specialist Conservatory Roof Options If You're Thinking Of Conservatory Roof Replacement
Park Lane Solid Conservatory roof replacements are becoming a very popular alternative to either polycarbonate or glass roofs and we have a number on display at our showroom in Northampton, but we cover the whole of Northamptonshire, Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden, Daventry, Brackley, Towcester & Milton Keynes.
With a solid conservatory roof, you have all the benefits of a standard conservatory, with added space but they are the most energy efficient as they are fitted with three layers of insulation.
The roof is constructed with a timber frame, the same as a standard roof, but we use light weight slate or tiles and the inside is plastered for a smooth finish, although it does not let in as much natural light as other roofing option, roof windows can be installed as an option and we also offer a number of lighting solutions.
Fitting a solid roof also makes the conservatory cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, meaning that your conservatory really can be used all year round.
Our skilled tradesmen can even replace the roof of an existing conservatory with a new solid conservatory roof.
The slate and tiles are available in a range of colours allowing them to compliment and match your existing home roof.
Choosing Park Lane means you can be sure your conservatory will always be built to your specification, using the highest quality materials and years of expertise.
The result? You'll soon be enjoying valuable extra space and the all-year-round lifestyle benefits that conservatories bring. Naturally, your conservatory will be expertly designed and constructed; a room that is both beautiful and practical, installed by craftspeople who care.
What's more, you can choose from an almost unlimited range of styles, sizes, colours, finishes, glazing options and accessories as we help your dreams become reality.
Imagine how the different practical and aesthetic advantages would enhance your home and lifestyle. Making the right choice reflects your individuality. We'll help you all the way.
Special Colour Options
The molecular cross bond process of Kolorbond means that the choice of colour for your conservatory windows is truly yours.
Available in all standard RAL and BS colours. Colour can be applied to PVCu window frames, doors, conservatories and fascias. Guaranteed to adhere to the plastic for a minimum period of 15 years and is extremely colour stable and resistant to UV.
'The only limit is your imagination'

As always with Park Lane it's about choice, and both options are available across our entire range of windows, giving you complete flexibility to select your preferred style.
You can even mix and match chamfered and sculptured frames to create a unique style all of your own.
Chamfered Beading
The chamfered option creates a symmetrical, contemporary, straight-edged style and might be considered a more modern look.
Sculptured Beading

Deviating even half a degree will weaken the exorcism. Trust me, I've done this many times. Prerequisites: Skill Focus (Knowledge [religion]) Benefits: You receive a +4 bonus to Knowledge (religion) checks for purposes of exorcising a possessing spirit. See page 34 for full rules on exorcism. Indomitable Will Magdalena's is the strongest will I have ever encountered. She is a tower of spirit, a woman to be admired. I have seen her throw off the yolk of demonic possession several times, when all around her had succumb to corruption.
Ranks in the skill represent an understanding of relevant theological practices and texts that discuss exorcism. The presiding exorcist must also have access to a holy symbol. The exorcism must be performed in a quiet place, relatively free of interruptions. Many Chapter Two exorcists also find it helpful to surround themselves and the possessed with candles, holy symbols, and other such religious accoutrements, but that is not an actual requirement. A single demon hunter is all that is required to perform an exorcism, but many choose to bring in both assistants who are conversant in religious matters and those who are conversant in decidedly more physical skills.
These pox are harmless, but both disgusting and painful; the victim suffers a –2 penalty to all Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, Gather Information and Perform skill checks, as well as a –2 penalty to all NPC reaction checks. Soul Poison Transmutation Level: Clr 6 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Targets: One living being touched Duration: Permanent (see text) Saving Throw: No Spell Resistance: No This spell is among the most corrupt of enchantments, a vicious spell only the most depraved, deluded or evil demon hunters would even contemplate casting.

Sound System Upgrade
"And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard?"
A working sound system was overwhelming the #1 priority voiced at both the Liturgy community meeting and the survey conducted for our Pastoral Planning. From the beginning we wanted to make sure that everything would be done to ensure that we would have a sound system that provided for the multiple needs of the worship space. We quickly learned that this would involve more than just replacing the sound system: it would also include addressing the way that sound travels and is absorbed in the building.
Second Progress Report:
In the last update we talked about securing an acoustician. The acoustician has been out and has mapped the sound of the church. He then will take that data and using a model of the church and will work with sound engineers to make recommendations on alterations, such as acoustical tiles on some of the ceiling panels. We are awaiting their report with specifications for needs based on their expertise and their findings. At the same time, sound engineers will be taking this data and provide to us a needs-assessment of sound equipment for the church. As you can see to have a working sound system is more than just replacing microphones.
While we had hoped to have all of this completed by the First Sunday of Advent, we recognize that the thoroughness of the process is more important that an end date. We appreciate your patience as we do everything we can to provide for a working and complete sound system for our parish.
First Progress Report:
A committee was formed and began meeting.
The committee identified three priorities for the sound system:
- It be a working system designed for the building and for the multi-use/need of the community's worship.
- It be an integrated system which is one system for word and music.
- It be designed to incorporate a "loop" system for the hearing impaired and challenged.
An acoustician, an individual who is a specialist in acoustics (sound), has been secured. The person has come out to inspect the church building, its design, finishings and furnishings, and spent a couple of weekends with us to experience the needs and uses for amplification of sound at all the Masses. A report has been provided with specifications for needs based on their expertise and their findings.
Based on the report the Acoustic Committee will create a timeline for the process with target dates and ultimately a date for installation and completion. In addition, we will look at our present system as well as the equipment used for the music ministry, including the organ and piano and how all of this will work (or not work) within a new sound design and system.
The 2nd collection on May 5/6, 2019 was for our parish special needs designated for the new sound system.

Systemic risk
n The TRADE Derivatives forum
through it, the experiences
of financial markets professionals in the crisis will affect
their behaviour for the rest of
their careers. To make sense
of it, the industry's response
must be unravelled into its
many individual strands.
First, there is the regulatory
reform programme, which
includes requirements for
greater transparency through
central clearing and reporting
to trade repositories. In parallel, there has been a change
in how derivatives businesses
are managed. The positions
that firms are prepared to take
(more cautious) and the products that are being developed
(less complex) are a response
to the emerging new environment and the crisis that preceded it. Another important
strand is the increase in capital
requirements. Higher capital
charges and the increased perception of risk have combined
to cut back the production
of more exotic structures.
The cost of innovation hasincreased while the potentialrevenues have diminished.Today, sell-side firms in theOTC derivatives markets haveseen compliance account foran ever increasing proportionof their overall spend, while intrading their focus has shiftedto instruments with muchsimpler structures, with lowermargins. At the same time, theyhave had to make infrastruc-ture investments to adjust tocentral clearing of many OTCinstruments. The impact ofchanges on relative profitabilityhas led to an increased focuson efficiency by the sell-side.But despite all these changes,the OTC markets have not shutdown. The operational infra-structure has changed and therelative importance of productshas shifted, but business is stillbeing done – because clientsstill see intrinsic value in theproducts.Is the market safer andmore sustainable? Clearly weare all more aware of the risks,and changes have been madeto market practice to addressthese. But it's unrealistic toexpect operational frame-works and product innovationto keep pace in perpetuity.For one thing, it takes timeto implement the scale ofchange the industry is cur-rently undertaking, so there isbound to be dislocation, lead-ing to operational risk. Whencollateral first became moreimportant in the OTC deriva-tives markets, firms did notimmediately develop the pro-cesses to manage collateral ina timely fashion. It's one thingto mandate central reporting,it's quite another to build allthe structures and processes tomake it a reality.We have a better apprecia-tion of the risks in the OTCderivatives markets than wehad ten years ago. Today, wecannot be sure that we canprevent systemic events thatwill have significant implica-tions for peoples' lives, but wecan manage the risk and miti-gate their effects." nSystemic riskn The TRADE Derivatives forum

A sure sign of late June is the purple stain on my lips. A certain sign that I've walked past all the mulberry trees along my four-mile walking route is the fact that all the ripe berries reachable by a 5'4" person are gone.
I LOVE mulberries and they are in season now!
At the end of our driveway is a mulberry tree and it is loaded. Well, it was, but I couldn't pass it without stopping for a handful or three.
My husband and I formally picked mulberries this evening --- by "formally," I mean we took a bowl with us. He brought the ladder. I carried the bowl --- more berries to snack on that way.
When I was growing up, the nearest mulberry tree was one-half mile away, at the northernmost spot on our farm. We'd hike there or sometimes take the tractor that had the front-end bucket to stand in. (That tree is now owned by our neighbors, and don't tell them that the tree is on my regular walking route morning and night during mulberry season)! For a jar of mulberry jam, another neighbor even now allows us to pick from trees on his land. It is very good to have neighbors.
The first taste of mulberries reminds me of my grandmother's kuchens. (If you're German, kuchen is pronounced KOO-hen with a throaty little cough-like sound from the back of the throat on the "h" of the second syllable. I tell you this because my father MADE us pronounce it correctly when we were growing up. He is from Germany. He knows.) And the perfect recipe for any fruit kuchen comes from true Americana: the local church cookbook.
Our Favorite Recipes was published by St. John's Guild of West Bend, Wisconsin in 1949 by
the Ladies of St. John's Ev. Lutheran Church. The book is known in our family as "The St. John's Lutheran Cookbook" and truly has been our favorite cookbook for generations. My grandmother had the 1949 edition, my mother has the 1959 edition, and my battered copy was published in 1976; our older daughters each have a copy of a more modern edition.
Esther Klein's Fruit Kuchens recipes are on page 35 of my 1976 book. (By the way, if you ever find a copy of this book, all of Esther Klein's recipes are winners!)
Esther Klein's Fruit Kuchens
Dough: 2T. butter
1 egg plus milk to fill 1/2 cup
1/4 c. sugar
1 1/4 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt (I use only a shake of salt)
Mix dry ingredients, cut in butter as with pastry. Beat egg slightly and add milk, combine with dry ingredients until a dough forms. Roll or pat 1/4" thick in greased coffee cake pan (about 8-inch square - the recipe will line the bottoms of two 8-inch square pans).
For apple, peach, raspberry, or other sweet fruit (mulberries!):
Place sliced fruit in rows on dough, or arrange smaller berries. Cover with a streusel (pronounced STROI-zel) topping (recipe follows) or cover with the following custard:
Beat 1 egg, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 T. cream. Pour over fruit. Sprinkle with cinnamon (optional). Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees F. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F. and bake another 15 -20 minutes.
For cherries or plums (tart fruit) Use the same custard recipe as above, but use 1 1/2 c. sugar on the fruit.
Streusel for Coffee Cake by Mrs. Elmer E. Tews, pg. 43, 1976 edition:
1 c. sifted flour
1 c. sugar
1/2 t. salt (I use one dash)
1/4 lb. chilled butter (1 stick), cut in pieces
Blend in a bowl using your fingers. Use on a fruit kuchen or on coffee cake. There will be extra streusel left - it can be kept in the refrigerator for weeks.

Ever since I ran out of my Eye of Horus brow pencil, I discovered what a great brow team this Urban Decay palette is with an angled brush that I had to include it in June's cruelty-free favourites.
A word of warning though, while Urban Decay's products are cruelty-free, it is a subsidiary of L'Oreal – a company that conduct testing on animals. So profits made from UD sales inevitably travel upstream to the parent.
The Urban Decay Naked2 Basics Eyeshadow Palette features six mostly cool-toned neutrals, five of which are matte and one with a satin finish. The shadows aren't powdery but are quite buttery soft, making them easy to blend.
The colours in this palette can easily be used for multiple purposes, e.g. Skimp and Stark can be used as highlights on the brow bone, and the browns and dark grey can also be used as brow powders. Its compact size makes it a convenient palette to take with you in your makeup bag.
The shadows
- Skimp is the lightest shade in the palette and is a slightly warm peachy nude with a satin finish.
- Stark is a slightly cooler beige than Skimp with a matte finish with decent colour payoff.
- Frisk is a muted taupe with a matte finish that people with cooler skintones could use for the cheekbones.
- Cover is a medium red-brown shade with a matte finish that's highly blendable with great pigmentation.
- Primal is a muted medium-to-dark brown with a subtle warm undertone that is the least powdery of the lot.
- Undone is the darkest shade of the lot and is a slate grey with subtle touch of cool dark brown.
The packaging
The shadows are housed in a compact but sleek casing made of matte rubber that's soft to the touch. It also features a decent sized mirror that spans across the 'lid' of the entire palette, further enforcing the convenient nature of this basic palette.
Each individual shadow pan also sits flush within the casing, with the actual product filled right to the brim as authentic Urban Decay palettes are. Each shade is also labelled beneath each pan.
The swatches
The swatches above were all taken in natural light and blended out to soften the shades on my skin. As you can see, Skimp is the only demi-matte shade with a slight pearlescent finish.
As for pigmentation, you may need to use a heavier hand when applying Stark and Frisk. I had no problems with Cover and Primal but Undone was chalkier with lighter colour pay off and definitely harder to blend.
Urban Decay Naked2 Basics Palette Review Summary
With this Urban Decay Naked2 Basics Palette comprising of matte shades, it would do well to accompany other palettes featuring different finishes.
The verdict
All in all, this palette is pretty similar to the original Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette so if you already have that one, you probably won't need this one. I'm currently using this as a brow powder where I mix Cover with a touch of Undone which works perfectly fine for me.
With this Urban Decay Naked2 Basics Palette comprising of matte shades, it would do well to accompany other palettes featuring different finishes. I can see this palette complementing the rest of the Naked range of palettes well when creating more complex looks.
Much love,

Amid a strong police presence, around 700 Muslim pilgrims from the north crossed to the south of the island on Tuesday morning to pray at the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque in Larnaca to mark the end of Kurban Bayram.According to police, around 4am, four buses arrived at the mosque for early prayers, and another group followed an hour later. By 11am, total of 15 buses had crossed, transporting around 700 pilgrims.The buses arrived at the mosque with a police escort, while a police helicopter hovered over the mosque area.Police will remain out in force until the pilgrims went back to the north around 3pm.Police had taken strict security measures by closing the road about 300 metres from the entrance to the mosque, which was closed to the general public for the duration.The entrance to the mosque was also forbidden to journalists.Members of the Traffic Police, MMAD and the police departments of Nicosia and Larnaca are involved in the operation. Unficyp personnel were also facilitating.The pilgrimage was allowed to go ahead after the government gave permission.The government had pledged not to hamper the visit despite the cancellation of an Orthodox church service in the north at the weekend because the Turkish Cypriot authorities said it clashed with Bayram. The move to stop Orthodox faithful from celebrating the feast of Ayios Mamas in Morphou drew huge condemnation on the Greek Cypriot side.Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides said on Tuesday the government deplores the fact that the Turkish Cypriot authorities prohibited the Ayios Mamas service because constituted a limit of religious freedom.The Greek Cypriot side would not play the same game, he added."We have been handling the pilgrimage to Hala Sultan Tekke as a pilgrimage of Muslims, irrelevant of their status, legal or illegal in the occupied areas, as we always did."Kasoulides acknowledged there may have been illegal settlers among those Muslims who crossed but he said the Greek Cypriot side would honour a decision taken during the inter-communal religious dialogue to allow them to visit the shrine.He said the collapse of the talks in Crans-Montana had no bearing on this.
