Some 25 years ago, a fellow named Dennis Prager wrote an article for Crisis Magazine entitled "Judaism's Sexual Revolution: Why Judaism (and then Christianity) Rejected Homosexuality." In the article, Prager made several dubious claims, but he also unearthed some important and oft-neglected distinctions between monotheistic peoples and those of pantheistic or paganistic beliefs, which is to say those who don't like to have a lot of sex and those who do, respectively.
So for your enlightenment and entertainment, let's score the hits and misses of this old talking head. Quick, before he croaks!
Societies that did not place boundaries around sexuality were stymied in their development. The subsequent dominance of the Western world can largely be attributed to the sexual revolution initiated by Judaism and later carried forward by Christianity. This revolution consisted of forcing the sexual genie into the marital bottle. It ensured that sex no longer dominated society, heightened male-female love and sexuality (and thereby almost alone created the possibility of love and eroticism within marriage), and began the arduous task of elevating the status of women.
To be sure, societies that didn't (or don't) place boundaries on sexuality can hardly pretend to call themselves "societies" at all. Hell, they can hardly pretend to have any relation to humans whatsoever, so completely glazed are the sticky pages of history with rules and restrictions around sex. After all, it's not death and taxes that are unavoidable, it's death and sex. Since death is quite simply unavoidable, channeling sexual drives is therefore the primary function of any society's elite. If said elite is wont to take on a dozen or a hundred wives per man, as history has repeatedly shown is the case in everywhere from Persia to Peking to Paris, then the remaining men require other outlets for their groin-fueled furies. Such outlets range from military conquests to whore houses to freely available marijuana dispensaries, but they must exist all the same. Sex, after all, and in spite of Prager's unfounded claims to the contrary, dominates all societies in all places and in all times. Sex and death… what else is there ? They're two sides of the same coin. It just so happens that Judaism and its heretical offshoots promote marriage as the target of the average man's affections, possibly because King Saul just couldn't be bothered to keep harims and so codified this apathy, which then had the trickle-down effect of leaving spare women for the ever-spare men. But the idea that marriage, much less monotheism,i can largely be attributed to the dominance of the Western world is exactly like saying that the reason Steve Jobs was so successful was because he always wore the same clothes everyday. While you could probably attribute some small portion of any man's or any group's success to any single one of their behaviours, it's awfully narrow to attribute causation to what are more reasonably viewed as correlates. After all, you're not poor because it's raining outside, are you ?
As to the arduous task of elevating the status of women, holy shit arduous is right! In any sexuate species, of which we unequivocally are, there is an unbridgeable gap between the sexes defined by the resultingly imperative functions of our respective biologies.ii All of which is to say that "elevating the status of women" as a broad group is a fool's errand (if one enshrouded in typically Jewish optimism and idealism), even if creating meritocratic opportunities for individual women is perfectly admirable, even desirable. Who wouldn't want the best to succeed ? Well, other than the jealous worsts…
[T]he first thing Judaism did was to de-sexualize God: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" by his will, not through any sexual behavior. This was an utterly radical break with all other religions, and it alone changed human history. The gods of virtually all civilizations engaged in sexual relations. In the Near East, the Babylonian god Ishtar seduced a man, Gilgamesh, the Babylonian hero. In Egyptian religion, the god Osiris had sexual relations with his sister, the goddess Isis, and she conceived the god Horus. In Canaan, El, the chief god, had sex with Asherah. In Hindu belief, the god Krishna was sexually active, having had many wives and pursuing Radha; the god Samba, son of Krishna, seduced mortal women and men. In Greek beliefs, Zeus married Hera, chased women, abducted the beautiful young male, Ganymede, and masturbated at other times; Poseidon married Amphitrite, pursued Demeter, and raped Tantalus. In Rome, the gods sexually pursued both men and women.
We can agree that the desexualisation of Hashem relative to his masturbatory competitors was a stark break in foundational mythologies, but I'd also cast a ballot for technology, viz. timekeeping.iii The linearity of the Hebrew calendar was a perfectly remarkable departure in world view relative to the other peoples of the Near East with their circular understandings of time. Counting years in perpetual succession seems obvious enough to those of us who timestamp documents with any regularity, but the calendars of the Ancient Egyptians and Chinese had no such delineations – they both reset the years of their respective calendars with each new Pharaoh or Emperor. Before the Jews started counting higher and higher and higher with each passing year regardless of dynastic duration, everyone basically just counted in circles, round and round and round. The linear calendar was an innovation made manifest by the decentralised realities of the frequently nomadic Jews. Only periodically – in times of great strife and necessity – was centralisation under a monarch deemed imperative, but this was never to be the lasting institutional arrangement that defined relations between the Hebrew tribes. Smaller groups have always been an essential part of our story, if one occasionally disrupted, making marriage a better fit for the Wandering Jew.
Judaism placed controls on sexual activity. It could no longer dominate religion and social life. It was to be sanctified — which in Hebrew means "separated" — from the world and placed in the home, in the bed of husband and wife. Judaism's restricting of sexual behavior was one of the essential elements that enabled society to progress. Along with ethical monotheism, the revolution begun by the Torah when it declared war on the sexual practices of the world wrought the most far-reaching changes in history.
As a practising Jew,iv I can attest to the fact that sexual activity nowhere near dominates our religious and social lives.v Not that it's non-existent, it can hardly be quashed, but at least in the more liberal strains that I've somehow found myself involved, there's no particular emphasis on having larger families the way, say, Hasidic traditions do. It's hard to say that this separation or "sanctification" of sex into its "marital bottle" has enabled society to "progress" – I'm not convinced that social progress can ever be anything more than an ephemeral fashion – but we can say with a healthy degree of confidence that the whole monogamous marriage thing does wonders to facilitate urbanisation, which is not only the direction the world is now hurtling towardsvi but is itself premised on a significant degree of feminisation, which is to say anti-territorialism. But given that it's really beta males who benefit from marriage rather than women per se,vii who can be surprised ? That the clichéd "life of the mind" pursued by Jews lends itself so well to the tighter quarters typified by urban centres is no accident, nor are the clichéd professions of jewellers, art dealers, money lenders, scribes, lawyers, doctors, etc. unsuitable to this reality. It's a Jew-eat-Jew world out there (not that this is some well-kept secret), which is just to say that being penetrated is very much in vogue. Speaking of which, what does Prager think about bro-love ?
The revolutionary nature of Judaism's prohibiting all forms of non-marital sex was nowhere more radical, more challenging to the prevailing assumptions of mankind, than with regard to homosexuality. Indeed, Judaism may be said to have invented the notion of homosexuality, for in the ancient world sexuality was not divided between heterosexuality and homosexuality. That division was the Bible's doing. Before the Bible, the world divided sexuality between penetrator (active partner) and penetrated (passive partner).
Fascinating, isn't it ? It's irrefutable that sexuality is defined by the penetrator and the penetrated as the fundament of any sexuate species, and yet before Judaism none had thought to make this about "gender." Why ? Because l'chaim, that's why. This is ironically a denial of biology, which demands that the fringes be explored without regard for the wellbeing or even continuance of the individual, but that's the Jewish pathos for you. Even the Jews know that the fringes don't always hit their marks – often times they'll miss horribly and lose their lives for their troubles – but the dynamic is what's important. The agency goes to the active because the penetrator takes the risk for the reward. Maybe he fucks an electrical socket. But maybe he fucks Cleopatra. That's the chance he takes. Yet Judaism, and subsequently Christianity, attempted to corral this experimentation with the institution of (largely monogamous and definitely heterosexual) marriage. The idea being, I suppose, that sexual energies would then be directed towards commercial ends and experimentation in that arena and that arena alone, which would then better serve the group than would the pursuit of strictly biological ends. This is only too true in the cities we find swelling the world over today, but it was a less than ideal strategy in pre-industrial agricultural societies. I guess it's a good time to be alive!
Judaism affirms whatever enhances life, and it opposes or separates whatever represents death. Thus, a Jewish priest (cohen) is to concern himself only with life. Perhaps alone among world religions, Judaism forbade its priests to come into contact with the dead. To cite some other examples, meat (death) is separated from milk (life); menstruation (death) is separated from sexual intercourse (life); carnivorous animals (death) are separated from vegetarian, kosher, animals (life).
The Jewish perspective that life is the basis of all goodness is at once optimistic, idealistic, and thoroughly braindamaged. It's optimistic in the sense that it sees the light in each and every new person added to the earth and it's idealistic in the sense that it presumes such a light to exist in the first place, but it's equally braindamaged in that it neglects or perhaps just willfully denies the balancing force that death and punishment play in culture. Not that the stories of the Old Testament were exactly devoid of death and punishment, but the underlying philosophy that life is the supreme good is certainly the take-home message despite it being very much double-edged, for it can inspire determination just as much as it can lend itself to passivity in the face of existential threats. This bit of mental gymnastics might be impressive, and the codification of Semmelweis' insight four thousand years early is no small matter, but it's no wonder that Israel is such a big deal despite is minuscule dimensions. A Jewish state with a big dick ? Of course the Satmar Hasids, Neturei Karta, and the entirety of the Muslim World want it burned to the ground. It's an affront to tradition! They're not wrong either. If you're looking to keep your people mobile and flexible (because they're used to getting penetrated and running away after the fact), small family units are a potent resource.
Contrariwise, the establishment of a strong military state that channels the sexual urges of its people towards territorial expansion, the combatting of terrorism, the systematic oppression of lesser peoples, and even more technological innovation would appear to be dangerously rigid by comparison to the idealised Wandering Jew living off nothing but his wits. In a weird way, then, Israel breaks the idealistic mold of its ancestors despite being the apple of so many Jewish eyes for fifty generations before 1948. Israel is a pragmatic institution that's almost as practical as it is monocultural. I'm hardly the world's staunchest Zionist either, but I have to admire the work ethic, inventiveness, and down-to-earthedness of the people who choose to live there, my own extended family included. That they've been able to unwind so many deeply seeded social and religious mores speaks volumes to their commitment, focus, and open-mindedness. They show that these needn't be contradictory ideals either. Still, about the only thing that the traditionalists and modernistsviii can agree upon is that it's best to channel the sexual energies of their disciples productively, which is to say away from homosexuality and other similarly wanton penetrations.
The bedrock of this civilization, and of Jewish life, has been the centrality and purity of family life. But the family is not a natural unit so much as it is a value that must be cultivated and protected. The Greeks assaulted the family in the name of beauty and Eros. The Marxists assaulted the family in the name of progress. And today, gay liberation assaults it in the name of compassion and equality. I understand why gays would do this. Life has been miserable for many of them. What I have not understood was why Jews or Christians would join the assault. I do now. They do not know what is at stake. At stake is our civilization.
While it's absolutely true that the family unit isn't natural as such, particularly in an urban context, Jews/Christians/Marxists/Greeks/gays who would pander to and promote the notions of thirty-seven all equal and all equally valid genders do so not because they misunderstand what's at stake but because of the double-edged sword that is Judeo-Christian optimism and idealism. With optimism and idealism comes the belief in progress. With the belief in progress comes the belief in utopia. With the belief in utopia comes the belief in pantheistic orgies on the beach while being fed fresh grapes by tender cherubs. For everyone!!1! At least vicariously. It's cuckoo for cocopuffs when it's all laid out in plain language instead of nebulous feelings underpinned by reality tv, but it's what it is.
What's at stake then isn't "our civilisation" anymore than it's "our democracy." Both of those have lost the war even if there are still skirmishes underway. Homosexuality is just a fashion of going out with, well, a bang. And in styyyyyle! But going out all the same.
After all, what goes in, must come out.

- The aberrant notion of a "Christian Europe" is disabused more eloquently elsewhere. It's also worth recalling that, for most of the Middle Ages, Europe was principally a centre of Islamic culture, not Christian. While the differences between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam may seem prosaic or even academic to our Hindu and Confucian friends of a thousand years ago, as today, try telling the Abrahamites that. ↩
- To quote MP :
Consider this : if you've made your species sexuate, and thereby it followed you'll have a female, and thereby it followed the female will store fat and be slow and physically ineffectual as her bones will be optimized for parasite supportiv rather than locomotion and so on and so forth : it doesn't just follow that culturally she'll live her life fettered in a pen somewhere while the males go roaming about in the garden. Culture at least you could revise (so you flatter yourself in thinking), but it doesn't stop there.
Because if indeed you've got a sexuate species, it then therefore follows that it is more productive to do the searching in the male genetic space than in the female genetic space. What do I mean by searching ? Oh, you know, "wut does this purine base do", random recombination as is at the basis of all evolution. And of all cancer.
It then so happens that if we normalize female fenotypical variation at 110% (in any field, note that we're making no assumptions as to whether this is height or ability to thread needles — whatever the defined skill, whatever the considered ability, the model stands for all time) we'll measure male fenotypical variation at something around 125%.
What does this mean ?
It means that in a sexuate population and for any arbitrarily defined ability, should you measure five females and find three at 10, one at 9 and one at 11, when measuring five males you will likeliest find one at 12, one at 11, one at 10, one at 9 and one at 8.
Then what happens irl is that the 8 male dies, because the minimum level of the ability required for maintenance is 8.4, and your population of 9 (55.(5)% female) will exhibit an average male ability of (12+11+10+9)/4 = 10.5, and an average female ability of (11+3*10+9)/5 = 10. That's 5% better males on average. At anything.
At anything.

- The technologies a group of people leverages is, after all, hugely more important than whether they believe in a hundred rapacious deities or a single celibate one. ↩
- Whatever that means… ↩
- There sure as shit aren't temple whores! /jealous ↩
- The world isn't urbanising because cities are inherently better, you understand. The world is urbanising because it's more cost effective to feed cattle when they're more tightly corralled. And goodness know there's a shit-ton of cattle on the planet at the moment. What are we up to now, 7 billion ? 8 ?? Either way it's a lot. ↩
- It's an inconvenient truth that the Duke's 7th wife is better off materially and spiritually than the only wife of the six-fingered cobbler, a truth masked almost completely by the pretense that "we're all equal" and "worker's rights," etc. ↩
- I'm here using "modernists" in its proper sense, not that abused as a synonym for contemporary. Incidentally, if you're looking for the world's largest collection of Bauhaus architecture, strangely, Jerusalem is it. Not Berlin, not Munich… Jerusalem. ↩

It's no mystery why so many small businesses take swift action against slow-paying customers: they've rendered a service and they rely on steady cash flow to pay their own bills. In difficult economic times, a hard-line philosophy is even more understandable.
Despite the difficulty it causes their own bottom lines, many of the highly rated companies onAngie's Listare doing their best to take a soft approach to slow payers according to a recent member survey.
While most companies say they are seeing an uptick in slowed payments, 44 percent of the 260 companies responding to the survey said they don't have a lot of slow-paying customers. About 10 percent of respondents are dealing with this as a serious problem for the first time.
While nearly universally tipping their hats to "great customers," companies whose customers are paying on time attribute this good fortune to three strategies:
- Upfront and constant communication
- Prepayment requirements, and/or
- Credit card back-up plans for those customers who don't pay on time
"Small business owners are sympathetic to most of their customers because they've come to know them well and may even have become friends," said Angie's List founderAngie Hicks. "They recognize the economic pressures and most of them are open to alternative ways to get paid, including extending payment terms." This compassion, while admirable, should be tempered with smart business practices, Hicks said.
"Businesses owners should not let their sympathy outweigh their business sense. One business owner told us that she let a bill go uncollected for months and now won't likely ever see her money short of taking her client ― once a friend ― to court."
Hicks advises clear communication on both sides of the transaction. Consumers have every right to expect high quality service from the professionals they hire, but they also owe it to those pros to be honest when they find themselves strapped for cash ― if not because of ethical obligations because it's the neighborly thing to do, she said.
"One of our service company owners said his slow-paying customers are often embarrassed to see him at the grocery store but the encounters are inevitable because it's a small community. Another learned that instead of paying his bill, one customer took his family on an impromptu trip to Las Vegas," Hicks said. "More often than not, these people are neighbors and word gets around fast. Honesty goes a long way when you're heading into trouble. Many of our companies say they'd much rather work with a customer who's having bill trouble than take legal action."
Angie's List 9 Tips to Business Owners to Help Ensure Timely Payment:
- 1. Talk to your customer: Be upfront with your payment requirements so there
are no surprises. Stay in constant communication with clients. Listen to your
customers and answer their questions.
2. Screen potential customers when they call: Trust your instincts. If you don't feel good about doing the job for a potential customer, walk away.
3. Offer upfront pricing: If you can set a firm price in advance, do it to minimize sticker shock and delayed or non-payment.
4. Require payment at time of service: Be clear in your terms that payment is due immediately upon completion of a job and consider progressive payment as phases of a project are completed. Don't continue with successive phases unless the bill is current.
5. Accept credit cards: Require customers to sign a credit card waiver to empower you to charge the customers' credit cards if accounts becomes past due.
6. Consider alternative payment options: Consider short-term financing plans to recoup payment from customers who are unable to make full payment. If you charge interest, be clear about the rate. Put the financing plan in writing and have the customer sign off on it.
7. Be flexible: If you require payment at completion of service but your customer can't pay you until "Friday," offer to come back to pick up payment then. It takes time and costs money to make the extra trip, so be upfront about a charging travel charge to recoup that lost time and money. Most customers are likely to agree that's a reasonable request for the inconvenience and most will find you harder to turn away in person.
8. Get the customer's email: Emails are more likely to be read and noticed than an unopened paper bill ― and they're more cost-effective.
9. Don't take the law into your own hands: When all else fails, you may have to take your customer to court to recoup the money owed to your business. Be sure to keep copies of all your records related to the job and get things in writing in advance.

Updated: gravel racers, race directors react to UCI gravel worlds announcement
Elite racers like Lauren Stephens, Ian Boswell and race organizers like Amy Charity, Kimo Seymour, and Amanda Nauman weigh in on UCI's involvement in gravel.
Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.
For so many gravel race directors and participants, what gravel is not has been almost as much of an attraction as what gravel is. As in, gravel racing is not road racing — a standardized, rule-centric sport with an overarching structure of a national governing body, much less bike racing's global governing body of the UCI.
And now, the UCI has announced a gravel world championships in 2022 and a Gravel World Series. The UCI's gravel worlds will most likely be in the U.S. So what will this mean for gravel racing?
VeloNews spoke to a few racers and race directors for their thoughts on the announcement.
For starters, there already is a Gravel Worlds in the U.S. — a grassroots event in Lincoln, Nebraska that has been going since 2010. Gravel Worlds promoters selected the name as a good-natured joke.
Jason Strohbehn is director of operations at Gravel Worlds. He said the UCI has not contacted him or his team, much less explored the concept with them.
"We have and will always continue to strive to be the Gravel Worlds for the everyday rider while also celebrating the peak of human performance," Strohbehn said. "Gravel was born in the midwest of the United States in places like Lincoln, Emporia, [Kansas] and Stillwater [Oklahoma], and we take pride in knowing we helped revolutionize an entire industry. Our focus is to keep gravel grassroots and we will celebrate that history through our event for years to come."
Emporia is home to Unbound Gravel and Stillwater hosts The Mid South.
U.S. national road champion and successful gravel racer Lauren Stephens likes the idea of a UCI gravel world championships.
"I see it adding a new level and taking the discipline more global," said Stephens, who is in Belgium now to compete in the UCI road world championships on Saturday. "I hope to see the long distances and self-support aspects of gravel reflected in the event. For sure I want to line up to have chance to compete for the rainbow jersey."
Lauren De Crescenzo, who has been on a hot streak this year with wins at Unbound Gravel, SBT GRVL, and Gravel Worlds, said that she is excited about the UCI creating new events and adding to the fast-growing sport of gravel.
"I think it's a good move by the UCI given their new 'Cycling for All' initiative." De Crescenzo said. "One thing I love about gravel events is riding and meeting people from all different backgrounds with different abilities. So more people working together to get more people on gravel bikes sounds good to me."
"I feel like UCI involvement could put gravel on a world-wide stage; fans would be able to follow riders in the series, there would be more of a global audience and potentially more visibility to young women and men starting the sport. I'm excited about growing the sport and I think this could create new opportunities for younger riders."
Some riders, however, were blunt in their criticism. "Wow, UCI Cycling – y'all actually suck," tweeted Ty Magner of L39ion of Los Angeles.
Wow @UCI_cycling– y'all actually suck.
— Ty Magner (@Ty_Magner) September 22, 2021
Amanda Nauman, a two-time winner of Dirty Kanza (now Unbound Gravel) and promoter of the Mammoth Tuff gravel race, took a broader view.
"From my understanding, UCI gravel is going to be part of the 'Cycling for All' initiative, which helps 'Ensure that elite cycling acts as a catalyst to inspire even greater mass participation, and get many more people using bikes as part of their everyday lives,'" Nauman said. "And honestly, I can't be mad about it being part of that initiative. The UCI Gran Fondo world series and championships exist without hot takes, bullying, making fun of it, etc. Maybe the gravel version can exist autonomously and we can all just be happy for it and let it be what it wants to be."
Nauman said that she is not yet sure if she wants to race a UCI gravel worlds.
"That might depend on how much of a focus they put on the mass participation, the rules, the structure, and if they stick to their guns and actually use gravel to inspire people to use bikes as part of their everyday lives," she said. "I have faith and optimism that they will do this because they've done enough research to know from promoters and racers that it's the mass participation that's the heart of these events. But if they come out and focus only on the pros and ignore the original purpose and intent of 'Cycling for All,' then I'll have a hard time supporting it."
Ian Boswell is this year's Unbound Gravel 200 winner, a former WorldTour racer, and a promoter of a grassroots gravel event this weekend, the Peacham Fall Fondo.
Boswell said that he hasn't yet fully digested the news, and is not sure whether the UCI getting involved is a positive thing for gravel, nor whether he will race the UCI gravel worlds himself.
"One thing I have truly loved about gravel is that every race is so different, it has allowed new riders to enter the sport, and given us so many good stories and characters across a wide spectrum of fitness levels," Boswell said. "I also live in a 200-plus-year-old farmhouse and have learned to not try and fix what is not yet broken."
As to whether the UCI getting involved in gravel is a positive or negative thing for the sport, SBT GRVL owner and gravel racer Amy Charity said it depends on the perspective of the rider.
"Some will see this as an opportunity to chase the rainbow jersey. Adding this structure of qualifiers and worlds to gravel racing will appeal to this very select group of racers," Charity said. "That said, a UCI-sanctioned gravel worlds will likely be of limited interest to the majority of gravel riders, especially in the U.S. Many or most of us came to gravel to get away from the rigid structure imposed by governing bodies. This is the case for the majority of SBT GRVL riders, who are drawn to our event for the overall experience and intentional lack of rules and regulations."
Pete Stetina, a gravel racer, VeloNews columnist, and organizer of Stetina's Paydirt, said he was pessimistic about the announcement, but was waiting for more details from the UCI.
"We all knew they would come, but how was the question," Stetina said. "I fell in love with gravel for the qualities that many do, which is very different than the UCI model. I hope they understand that the racing isn't as important as the festival and the journey. Gravel racing, while getting faster and more competitive, is still about the masses, the community and relatability, so chasing qualifying points around the world seems antithetical to me and isn't something I'm interested in. I choose events based on what piques my inspiration and curiosity."
Life Time is the owner of many big gravel races, including Unbound Gravel, Crusher in the Tushar, Big Sugar, and The 'Rad. Life Time VP Kimo Seymour said that the UCI announcement did not really offers any specifics as to its plans.
"In the end, if this gets more people riding bikes, especially in the U.S., that's a good thing," Seymour said. "If it cannibalizes current participation, that's a negative impact on our events and all our industry friends' events."
VeloNews asked Seymour what sort of rider turnout he expects for UCI gravel events.
"People will be interested, but our crystal ball isn't any clearer than yours," he said. "We believe people love gravel for the experiences, the community it brings together and the communities where events are currently happening. While a lot of the press covers the front end of the race, which has been fantastic to see, the life blood of gravel events are the other 99 percent of the riders who are just out for a great ride, with a good party at the end. It remains to be seen if what the UCI creates can appeal to that crowd."

road from my 2nd studio that burned. Bought around 1927-8 by Mr. E. B. Robinette of Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, and now owned by his widow.
Mr. Robinette was a very distinguished man, a close friend of Herbert Hoover and his head secretary during Mr. Hoover's First World War Relief
"Mrs. E. B. Robinette, 12 East Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, PA, owns a 25 x 30 winter view from my north window at the old place (Hiram Woodward studio) which burned."
There needs to be a clarification regarding the name to this specific artwork. Woodward listed it as named simply "Winter" in his diary comments. It was also listed as simply "Winter" in the J.H. Miller Galleries, 1928 exhibition program and in Jeanette Matthews article below, however, the picture above is from Springfield Sunday Union and Republician is captioned as Winter-Scene from the studio window. This is NOT completely unprecedented by Woodward. He used a "subtitle" in another painting around the same time he named The Window: Still life and winter scene. For me, the most compelling arguement that this piece was subtitled is drawn from this question... Then how in the world did the newspaper KNOW the painting was from his studio window? The second most compelling arguement is that Woodward used similar names for the other versions of the same scene he painted. But simply for arguement's sake and our sanity here at the website, we will continue to refer to this painting using the subtitle to differentiate it from 9 other similarly named but different works of art. To read more regarding this issue, Woodward's dairy, and his seemingly intermitten use of painting names for various different versions please click on the link below...
This piece was exhibited at the 1928 J. H. Miller Co. Galleries Exhibition along with 37 other paintings and chalk drawings. Click on the article to the right to see the full article.
This is the same painting as the one listed as Winter. There
is also an "Unnamed" page. It is not clear to the administrators of the website if there are 3 separate paintings
or they are all simply the same painting. Furthermore, it is very possible that Winter From the
Studio Door is equally similar.
Currently (Feb. 2016) the website staff cannot find another exhibition where Winter has appeared. However, Winter From the Studio Door did appear at the Myles Standish Gallery in 1931. Finally, we could not find any exhibition where Winter From the Studio Window appeared despite documentation noting it.

I am very interested in the Tinplate concept, finding that it reminds me of my childhood growing up in England in the 1940's. For the past ten years, in my second childhood, I have collected O scale trains, scenery, accessories and vehicles and placed them in a large operating layout of about 100 sq. ft. in my basement. My train collection includes Hornby, Bing, Leeds, Ives, Lionel, American Flyer, Paya, JEP, Sakai and Dorfan.
I am always buying restoration parts with no particular end in mind except to build up a supply for future but unspecified projects. A couple of years ago I purchased two very large (2") drive wheels on EBAY and then looked for a suitable project. Thus, the Stirling Single adventure started.
The primary thought in my mind was to build a model easily recognized
as the Stirling, but with the simple charm of other British outline engines
such as those made by Hornby in the 1920's and 1930's.
There is a magnificent example in the National Railway Museum, York, England.
"Locomotives - Stirling Single"

You can read all about this historic locomotive on the National Railway Museum's site by clicking here.
To get some ideas I did some digging to see what had already
been done in terms of modeling and here are three examples:
1. Aster Models - This company made a spectacular live steam
Gauge 1 model shown below.
Aster's "Great Northern Railway Stirling Single"

You can read more about this fine model on the Southern Steam
Trains web site by clicking here.
2. Carette Stirling Single - A friend sent me this picture of a No. 2 gauge Carette Stirling Single. Obviously a very large, robust and well made model, probably dating to the early 1900's.

3. Emily Stirling Single

For the next generation of train collectors the Thomas Tank Engine series now features Emily the Stirling Single. I have no idea who makes these engines – whether they are scratch built or modified commercial products, nor do I know the scale. In the TV series the model is well done and the scenery and buildings are exceptional.
For very young children Tomy offers a Stirling Single, driven
from the tender. Start them young and hope they keep our wonderful hobby running
when we are gone.
Drawings by David Argent
With some intense Googling I was able to get enough pictures to create drawings to form the basis of a fairly accurate O Gauge model. Much consideration had to be given to the placement of the drive mechanism, since space is very tight. A small can motor and NWSL gear box fit the bill. Another notable task was drawing the delicate wheel splasher openings which add to the visual appearance of this engine.
PHOTO: David Argent
Before attempting any brass work I decided to make a mock up of the model in paper and wood. This would allow many attempts and corrections to get every part in place and to check dimensions and proportions. It became apparent at this point that weight distribution would be critical that a neutral point along the axis of the large drive wheels would need to be achieved. I had visions of the engine rocking back and forth and derailing at every curve and switch. It was important that the design would allow for easy assembly and disassembly of the finished model to facilitate painting and servicing of the drive mechanism.
PHOTO: David Argent
Making the brass parts and test fitting the components was the
next stage. I will confine my comments to the loco itself and not go into the
making of the tender.
The boiler was made from brass tube stock and is very heavy. As a result it was necessary to pay careful attention to the weight forward of the drive axle. Much of the tube ahead of the axle was cut away in areas which would not show in the final model.
PHOTO: David Argent
There was constant reference to the mock up for measurements and to the numerous pictures to make sure that the model looked like the real thing. The hardest part of the brass work was making the wheel valences. I printed these to scale on thin paper and then glued the paper to brass stock. This gave an accurate pattern for careful cutting with small drills and needle files – a long and tedious task.
One thing you find out when you are scratch building without specific instructions and detailed scale drawings is that many of the steps, parts and pieces have to be made up as you go along. It helps to have a strong mental picture of the whole project ahead of time and be thinking several steps ahead at all times.
The drive mechanism was built in a separate detachable frame. It was then possible to test it mechanically and electrically before placing it in the loco chassis. A small rectifier was wired in to convert the current pick up from AC to DC. It was a milestone to see those large wheels revolve for the first time.
PHOTO: David Argent
The moment of truth came when all of the pieces were assembled. I have to admit that the assembly/disassembly process happened multiple times while small adjustments were made. Lead weights were needed in the rear of the loco to set the balance. Finally, the Stirling Single made a whole pass through the layout with no problems. No derailments at all. Another potential problem with this set up was said to be wheel spin. This did not happen, even with start ups on slight grades.
PHOTO: David Argent
The model is one again disassembled ready for finishing. All the parts are carefully cleaned to remove all traces of contaminants. This is a step that cannot be rushed otherwise paint defects will spoil the appearance. I use automotive primer and lacquer in aerosol cans, and find that I get results comparable to air brushing with much less effort.
PHOTO: David Argent
The first coat of primer reveals all surface imperfections. Several rounds of primer and wet sanding take care of these and provide a receptive surface for the final finish. The main color green is applied first and allowed to dry for several days. This ensures that the use of masking tape in the next step does not cause the paint to lift when the tape is removed. Black is then sprayed on the unmasked areas. I let the paint dry to touch and then carefully remove the masking tape. At this stage the paint is somewhat flexible and you get a sharper line at the edge of the tape. I make my own lining material from paper adhesive labels cut to the desired thickness. I use the same technique for numbering.
PHOTO: David Argent
Yes it does !
As you can see there is nothing special about my workshop. I do have plenty of room, which is a real plus. The most important general items are good lighting, a dust collector and a sink with running hot and cold water. The most important tool is the Dremel.
PHOTO: David Argent
Many people in our community have helped me along the way:
Colin Duthie from New Zealand,
a contributor to Tinplate Times, introduced me to can motor and worm drive systems
at a time when I had never heard or seen such devices.
David Collinson, from England, who has built an incredible Johnson Single, and helped with construction tips and pictures of the Stirling
Roland Digilio, from USA, who helped with Stirling pictures.
Anthony Piscitelli, from USA, for his help in selecting the actual can motor and gearbox for this application.

Take a stroll down Driggs Avenue — past McGuiness Boulevard and the entrance of McGolrick Park — and you'll find an unassuming storefront under a chocolate brown awning. Its name, Pie Corps, is emblazoned in white; its windows provide a glimpse into a sweet and savory world beloved by neighborhood foodies since its debut in 2012.
As it turns out, Pie Corps's is a story that nearly didn't happen. "I had been a chef for 30 years before opening the shop," says Cheryl Perry, who co-founded the bakery alongside Felipa Lopez, an acupuncturist who brings a medicinal philosophy to the company's culinary approach. "I'd had a restaurant in Manhattan, and when we closed, I swore I'd never open another business. But there was something about pie. I was intrigued by the sweet and savory possibilities, and the idea of using fresh, local ingredients. Pie is sculptural. It's something you build, and I like that. That's where Pie Corps started."
These days, customers can take advantage of a rotating selection of seasonal pies, as well as a roster of popular classes for those inspired to recreate the goodness at home. "For a first-time baker, I'd recommend the Pie Crust Intensive," Cheryl says. "It's our most popular class. Crust is the most important element of a good pie — it's the first thing you bite into. If you're not liking your first bite of something, the rest of it suffers, too. We teach you the science of getting it right."
What can sweets seekers look forward to at the shop this summer? "I'm most excited about our fruit pies — right now we have a strawberry with chocolate cobbler, a blueberry crumb, a rhubarb almond. Soon, we'll have peaches and cherries. We're looking forward to that." She pauses. "It's quintessential summer."
Visit the Pie Corps for more information. Sign up for classes — including Cheryl's Pie Crust Intensive — on CourseHorse.

Premier League: Four-goal Jesus stretches Man City's lead over title rival Liverpool
Four goals from Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus earned Manchester City a 5-1 win over relegation-threatened Watford on Saturday, a victory that moved Pep Guardiola's side four points clear at the top of the Premier League standings.
With title rival Liverpool not in action until Sunday against Everton, City was the overwhelming favourite to put Watford to the sword at the Etihad Stadium, with a double from Jesus' edging them 2-0 in front inside 24 minutes.
Watford then briefly threatened to make a game of it as French defender Hassane Kamara's first goal in English football five minutes later brought the visitors to within one of City.
However, a stunning strike from Spain international Rodri restored City's two-goal advantage in the 34th minute before Jesus completed his first Premier League hat-trick early in the second half after converting from the penalty spot.
Man City 5-1 Watford Highlights: Jesus' four goals cements City on top of Premier League
Not done there, the 25-year-old tapped home his fourth in the 53rd minute to complete the rout. City took their foot off the gas from there on in, with Tuesday's Champions League semi final first-leg against Real Madrid in mind.
The comprehensive victory moved champions City on to 80 points from 33 matches played, four clear of Liverpool ahead of Sunday's Merseyside derby, while Watford head towards relegation, sitting 19th seven points from safety.
The visitors would have been fearing the worst on their trip north. Guardiola had won all 10 of his previous meetings with Watford in all competitions, and by an aggregate score of 42-4, before Saturday's clash.
It did not take long for City to get on the scoresheet once again in the Etihad sunshine, as Jesus, who was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in the British media this week, reminded Guardiola of what he could do with a poacher's finish just four minutes in.
City had more than 83 per cent possession in the first 15 minutes as they controlled proceedings, adding a second through Jesus again, on the end of a sumptuous cross from Kevin De Bruyne.
Kamara's drilled finish offered Watford only a brief reprieve, from what was their own meaningful attempt on goal all match, with Rodri drawing gasps from all around as he rifled his fourth league goal of the season past helpless Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster.
There was no slacking off from City, as just 15 seconds into the second half Jesus was fouled by Foster in the area before, after a lengthy VAR check, getting up to slot home from the penalty spot to complete his treble.
A familiar source created the fifth and final goal for City as De Bruyne laid the ball across for Jesus to cap a memorable afternoon for the Brazilian.
Arsenal dents Man Utd's top-four hopes with 3-1 win
Leicester held to goalless draw by Aston Villa
A below-par Leicester City played out a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa at home in the Premier League on Saturday, a result that ended a four-match losing streak for Steven Gerrard's visiting side.
Leicester looked more likely to open the scoring in the early stages but fashioned few clear openings, with James Maddison's curling freekick the Foxes' best effort in an uninspiring first half from both sides.
Villa showed more adventure after the break as Ollie Watkins proved to be a constant threat with his darting runs beyond the Leicester backline but the visitors failed to trouble Kasper Schmeichel in goal.
Leicester sent on Jamie Vardy for Patson Daka in the 71st minute for his first appearance since early March but the striker barely made an impression as Villa held out for a point to move a step closer to safety.
Leicester are 10th in the standings on 42 points, while Villa are 15th, nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Ronaldo scores 100th Premier League goal against Arsenal
Samba style propels Newcastle to 3-0 win over Norwich
Newcastle United's Brazilian contingent sprung to the fore as Joelinton scored a brace and Bruno Guimaraes netted one more in an emphatic 3-0 Premier League victory over struggling Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday.
The win moves Newcastle into the top half of the table and is another sign of their rapid improvement under manager Eddie Howe, who steered the side to their first league victory at Norwich in 28 years.
But their hosts slipped closer to relegation to the Championship and are now eight points from safety with five matches left to play.
After a bright start in which forward Teemu Pukki should have given them the lead, they capitulated with three pieces of poor defending.
Manchester United needs an 'open heart operation', says Rangnick
Joelinton opened the scoring on 35 minutes with his first goal since February as Norwich failed to clear a low pass across the box, leaving the midfielder to sweep the ball into the back of the net from 12 yards.
His second was a much simpler finish as Jacob Murphy burst into the Norwich box under little pressure and passed the ball to the back post for the Brazilian to tap in.
Any hopes of a home comeback were doused early in the second half as the home side were again their own worst enemies. Goalkeeper Tim Krul played a poor pass out of defence that was intercepted by Guimaraes, who chipped the ball back over the gloveman in style.

This week saw another full slate of games. Once again we were treated to some intriguing action. After this week we have clear leaders in both divisions once more.
A crossover from the West looks increasingly likely this year and Hamilton are in a very strong position in the East.
Calgary Stampeders 24 at Winnipeg Blue Bombers 26
It was all on the line for the outright lead in the Western Division in this one. Hard though it is to believe this is the first time since August 1982 that these two teams met with sole possession of first in the West at stake.
2019 is turning into the season of the kick returners. Newbie Janarion Grant got in on that for Winnipeg on his debut. Grant finished with 11 returns totaling 306 yards and 2 touchdowns. Not a bad breakthrough!
A lot has been made of Calgary finding a way to win, but this time it was the Bombers who found the catalyst for success.
Matt Nichols may or may not be a game manager, but he did enough on O alongside Andrew Harris to complement a D that had two interceptions and two sacks on the night.
The Stamps had their chances, but Grant was the real difference maker in this one.
Saskatchewan Roughriders 17 at Montreal Alouettes 10
The Riders came away with the win here, but Als fans may feel an asterisk should stand by the result. The game was called early, leaving the league to issue a statement on its weather protocol.
The incredible year for returners continued as Shakier Ryan took a punt back 101 yards for a Montreal touchdown.
Saskatchewan's D was the real difference with two defensive touchdown returns. One of those TD's was a fumble return from Charleston Hughes. Hughes' CFL career speaks for itself as we noted last year, and he continues to build on it.
Vernon Adams Jr was injured for Montreal and the O missed a spark without him. Meanwhile Cody Fajardo did enough for the Riders. He went 15 of 21 passing for 166 yards and lead his team with 48 rushing yards on six carries.
After this result Saskatchewan go into their bye week on a four-game winning streak.
Ottawa REDBLACKS 12 at Edmonton Eskimos 16
Two teams with massively overhauled rosters from last year met and it was Edmonton that walked away with the win.
The Esks are now 5-3 in the ultra competitive West Division, and their coach thinks they have the best D in the league.
A good running game always helps support the D by keeping it fresh. C J Gable helped out the Esks on that score with 18 carries for 116 yards and 2 touchdowns.
This game was pretty evenly contested throughout and Ottawa were driving with under a minute to go but Edmonton and their D held on.
Edmonton had a 63 yard touchdown that might have broken things open called back on a holding call. It was one of those that you can see getting called both ways at times so fans of either team might have felt aggrieved had it affected the outcome.
At QB Trevor Harris went 33 of 40 for 323 yards but did not throw a touchdown pass. Harris has thrown for 300+ yards in 4 of his 8 starts this season for Edmonton.
BC Lions 34 at Hamilton Tiger-Cats 35
These two teams gave us a thriller to end the week as Hamilton stunned BC with a fantastic 4th quarter comeback.
The first half was a real back and forth affair. There were 4 lead changes before BC took a 21-19 halftime lead. A lead they extended in the second half to 34-19 in the 4th quarter.
We have talked about the amount of times BC have lost after leading this season on a few occasions already. So it perhaps wasn't so surprising to see Hamilton come back at them here.
Talismanic receiver Brandon Banks was back from injury for the Ti-Cats and he delivered with 9 catches for 137 yards and 2 touchdowns.
BC had a solid game from their stars as John White ran 15 times for 124 yards and 2 touchdowns. Whilst Bryan Burnham had 7 catches for 149 yards and 2 touchdowns.
BC have had coverage problems all year and that was apparent again. For Hamilton Frankie Williams had 7 kick returns totaling 252 yards. They included an 108 yard kickoff return touchdown in the first half and a critical 57-yard punt return near the end that put Hamilton in a position to win.
Following week 9 of the CFL season the inter-Divisional standings are now tilted even further in favour of the West. The Western teams now lead the East by 12 games to 8 on the season.
Winnipeg stand alone atop the West at 6-2, but they have three 5-3 teams arrayed behind them vying for the lead.
In the East Hamilton are clear leaders at 6-2. Unlike Winnipeg however they have the luxury of a 3 game lead over their nearest rivals.
As it stands we would have a crossover team from the West in the playoffs again.
Looking Ahead
Week 10 of the CFL season should offer up greater clarity for who will finish where at the end of the season.
Edmonton and Winnipeg will look to remain competitive in the West and will go in as favourites against BC and Toronto respectively.
Hamilton travel to Ottawa looking to strengthen their hold on the East further, whilst both Montreal and Calgary will face off wanting to put this weeks losses behind them.

Jesus Christ's betrayal, trial and crucifixion form the basis of the Christian Good Friday, which falls on the Friday before Easter.
The famous story laid out in the Christian gospels tells of Jesus' betrayal by Judas and trial before the Sanhedrin council, the Roman governor Pontius Pilate and King Herod of Galilee. He is condemned to death by crucifixion, only to be resurrected on Sunday -- thus giving rise to the Easter holiday.
Artists throughout the decades have striven to depict Jesus' crucifixion and by doing so bring to life one of the most famous moments of the Bible. New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art has an entire exhibit on "The Crucifixion and Passion of Christ in Italian Painting." They write, "Paintings of the [crucifixion] were usually intended to foster meditation on Christ's self-sacrifice, and they thus indicate his suffering by showing him hanging heavily with bowed head and bleeding wounds."
Many of these artistic depictions of Jesus' crucifixion reflect the above description, though nuances are present in different artists' interpretations.
Here are 13 classic representations of Jesus' crucifixion in art for Good Friday:

UPDATE: The committee closed the investigation Friday, Dec. 20. Texas Tribune has the report here.
The Texas House General Investigating committee announced today it will meet 10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 20, to discuss the political flash point of the summer that led to the demise of the Speaker of the House.
"The committee will meet for consideration and action on the investigation into the circumstances, events, and allegations in connection with a June 12, 2019 meeting between Members of the House and representatives of a Texas nonprofit corporation," the announcement said, adding that closed-door executive session is a possibility but there will be no testimony.
Here's what the announcement refers to for those not already familiar: In June, Empower Texans CEO Michael Quinn Sullivan took a recording of a now-notorious conversation during which he, House Speaker Dennis Bonnen, and the (now-former) Texas House GOP Caucus Chairman Dustin Burrows discussed the 2020 election cycle. Sullivan charged that the conversation involved a proposed quid pro quo arrangement where Sullivan's organization would be granted legislative media credentials in exchange for not criticizing certain incumbents. Bonnen denied the accusation and that it was not the intent of the conversation.
Bonnen announced in late October he would not be seeking re-election. He remains Speaker of the House and recently issued a list of fairly routine interim charges to House committees.
A report by the Texas Rangers Public Integrity Unit was released in October which alleged no violation of the law occurred.
A timeline of the scandal may be found here, as well as a link to the audio file of Sullivan's recording.
From the hip: Friday afternoon surprises are one thing, but a long-anticipated hearing scheduled the day before the entire Texas Capitol community bugs out for Christmas is quite another.
While we've known for awhile now that the committee would confer on this matter in December (i.e. not a surprise), the choice of Friday may be worth considering here. Political observers have asserted that "Bonnen-Gate" would lessen Republican chances for victory in the November 2020 elections. Whether or not they are correct in that assertion, if House Investigations manages to wrap up the "Bonnghazi" saga before the Christmas-to-New-Year's stretch, then it may not register as readily with voters come the March Primary or the general election. There's a certain amnesia that takes place once the new year settles in, and Republicans are likely taking full advantage of this rather than stretch it out into 2020.
Meanwhile, in the other, much more notorious battle over a possible quid pro quo, House Democrats in D.C. may be hoping that any blow-back from the impeachment investigation and the upcoming vote before the Christmas break will be forgiven by voters long after the trees are hauled out to the curb.
Correction: This story was amended to reflect that the Texas Rangers had released their report previously.

Punishment to Grace
No matter how deep we are in the pit of sins; God's Grace is always sufficient for us to get out. God has a way of escape for us every time we come to the full realization of our mess and we confess our sins. May this Easter Season be a time for us to turn away from our bad habits and to start imitating Jesus Christ with the help of The Holy Spirit. HAPPY EASTER AND GOD BLESS!
In Genesis 3:13-15 (New International Version), the bible says,
Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."
Praised (honored, blessed) be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)! By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, [Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God's power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time. [You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations, So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed (
1 Peter 1:3-7, Amplified Version).
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross (
Colossians 2:9-14, NIV).

Design Boards and Motion Test
Natasha Denona Mini Palette
Natasha Denona's Mini Palettes are a great way to test her formulas and experiment in new colors. I chose the Lila Palette to focus on since purple pigments are known for their complexity to formulate. The colors in the Lila Palette are Poison Berry, Blue Dahlia, Raisin, Linen, and Flint, so I selected framing elements to exemplify this nature-based color scheme. Through collecting physical assets, shooting, compositing, and coloring, I created design boards that show a vibrant (and achievable) down shoot that will encourage customers to explore new eye looks through Natasha Denona's line.
