Thr Robert Shelton book "No Direction Home" has quite a bit in about his parents Abe and Beatrice plus his brother David. A more recent publication, Howard Sounes "Down The Highway" also features plenty about his family
From: John O'L
Date: 03 Jan 06 - 01:46 AM
There is a little about his parents, aunts & uncles in his autobiogrphy 'Chronicles', but not much. I think he regards his life as being
(a) The part to which the public is entitled, and
(b) The part to which it is not entitled.
Regarding his amazing output at that time, it has been suggested that he went 'down to the crossroads'...
It wouldn't surprise me if he did.
From: GUEST,Bo in KY
I got this DVD and the "scrapbook" as a Christmas present and, having missed the PBS airing a few months ago, just watched it the other night. As one who was busy being born in the timeframe of the documentary, and thus an ankle-biter in folk music, I was awed and amazed by Dylan's story. The one thing that jumped out at me, though, was sheer number of classic, brilliant songs he wrote, and styles he went through, in .... 5-6 years???!!!! He must have been a man posessed, or had a hyperactive muse, or something....
I also have to wonder how all of this poetry with allusions ("stealing"?) and musical references could have come from a man who a few years before was an isolated teen-ager in a tiny Minnesota town. It's almost like the Shakespeare thing - how could he have known so much, regardless of who he was hanging out with? How could he have anticipated musical directions years, even decades, in advance?
It was curious that beyond the first few minutes there is no mention of his family. While I don't subscribe to the "child abuse" conjecture of an earlier poster, I do think the child is father to the man. Was Dylan ever a child?? Apparently not, according to this film of his "early years". What happened to his parents - did he even contact them again after taking off for NY?? I assume that he was an only child, as there is never any mention of siblings, but does anyone know??
Just wondering ... this moving film got me thinking and got me inspired!!
Shalom, Bo

a majority of women did not work
Meaning that unless it's waged employment it's not work? By which definition an enormous chunk of the world's population over the ages, men as well as wome, have never worked.
I know that's drifting the thread, but it annoys me when I come across people using that lazy and innacurate way of talking, and the last few days I've kept on coming across people in the media doing it.
From: Peter T.
I think it is possible to be the voice of a generation without people knowing it at the time, or without unanimity -- Beethoven is the voice of the beginning of the 19th century, though there were certainly lots of Austro-Hungarians who would have disagreed if asked.
I don't think Dylan was the voice of his generation, because there were lots of other "voices" at the time -- the fascinating thing is that there were so many at one time. Perhaps the Zeitgeist just was so full it burbled up in many people.
I think if there was a voice it was the Beatles. And that was partly a kind of accident of timing, everyone fixated on few TV channels, the death of Kennedy so recent, etc. -- if you were in America in February 1964, there was no doubt that the earth shook, and kept on shaking!! Dylan himself says that the Beatles changed everything. Then he turned around and did it to them -- which is schematically true, but the truth is that the Beatles were everything, and Dylan was an interesting phenomenon to 90% of those who had ever heard of him which was not a lot of people, the recent hype notwithstanding. "Like A Rolling Stone" did not change everything: "She Loves You" did.

GUEST, Rich, I agree, Odetta is fantastic!
I taped a repeat of the Dylan special. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I'm pretty sure the song Odetta was singing was a chain gang song called "Take This Hammer." The first verse goes like this:
Take this hammer (WHUP!), carry it to the captain (WHUP!)
Tell 'im I'm gone (WHUP!)! Tell 'im I'm gone (WHUP!)!
There are a whole bunch of verses to this (DT gives a few verses HERE), and a lot of the verses were improvised, much like those of a sea chantey. The percussive "WHUP" or "WHOP" in the song was the grunt as the prisoner swung the hammer or pick-axe. Best Loved American Folk Songs (also published under the title Folk Song U. S. A.) by John and Alan Lomax has a song called "Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder," with essentially the same tune and a lot of the same verses—and more than likely, it's merely a variation of the same song. The first verse goes
I've got a rainbow (WHUP!) 'round my shoulder (WHUP!) [3 times]
But it ain't gonna rain (WHUP!). No, it ain't gonna rain (WHUP!).
The "rainbow" is the flash of the sun on the hammer-head or pick-axe.

the 60's didn't really hit the mainstream until the 70's - and then got lost in self-absorbtion - like Our Hero
my take -
more interesting songs than Irving Berlin's
less talented than Gershwin
worse actor than Edd Kookie Byrnes

Yes there are other phot albums to be looked at, but there only is one sitting on the coffe table. ... the sixties will always be remebered for love-ins, happenings, Woodstock, anti-war protests ... and yes the civil rights movements will be in that photo, but always with a perception of the south.
Not everyone was a 'hippy', women did not have rights, segregation was not fully eliminated.
From: WFDU - Ron Olesko
the faces aren't missing, it just depends on which photo album you are looking at.
I'm a very big fan of Dylan. I admire his artistry (and his singing voice) to the up most. My peers, my outlook at that time in the 60's, and somewhat still to this day reflect that liberal image. That very image that is displayed by the media these days, giving a perception of that was what the 60's were completely about. But I have to agree with Guest. I remember vividly that we were definitely in the minority (my peers and I) in our outlook on liberalism, philosophy, art and 'rejection of the then rules and mores of society'. We were the outlaws of society. We were the outlaws that Dylan was reaching to.
Dylan certainly did speak to us, but he was not speaking for a large portion of the western world population. Don't forget, a majority of women did not work and those who did were generally relegated to the 2nd class jobs. They accepted it at that time. Let's face it, Dylan's voice couldn't match the smoothness and romance of Jonny Mathis. It wasn't until the 70's that they began to see the light, and the source of this light was certainly not the songs of Dylan.
He was not heard by the Afro Americans. Don't think all segregation was specific to the American south (another false perception of the media), there was (and still is) a large population 'caged' (thank you Randy Newman for that expression) in the ghettos of every major city in the U.S. These people in the 60's were venting their anger and frustration in violent riots in Detroit, Newark, and L.A. Let's face it, they were not and could not relate to some white middleclass kid with a hillbilly voice.
Dylan's songs did not reach the majority of the male population from the Midwest, and the industrial centres who were putting their lives on the line for their country. For a war they thought was just. Dylan was a hippy, he represented everything that was not God, country and the values of hard blue collar work
It is these people I have mentioned above whose faces are missing form that old photo of the sixties.
I would not generalize about women so much guest.
I don't think it is unusual that people gravitate toward music from someone of their own gender. I would say I know more women who were Joni Mitchell fans then my male friends. I think we tend to follow music that speaks to us personally, and often it is hard to relate to the feelings being expressed by an artist of the opposite sex. That doesn't mean we don't learn and experience their music, it just isn't something that we cling to.
Back in the 60's I was in middle school. We had an art teacher that would allow the students to bring in albums while we worked on our projects. There was one girl in our class who would always bring in Bob Dylan albums. It was not a case of teen idols like those that were bringing in Beatle and Rolling Stones albums. At that age, I was just a sponge - usually listening to whatever was on the radio or being offered by Ed Sullivan. I do remember being struck by the words and Dylan's delivery. Sure his voice was rough, but I don't think the power would have been there if a vocalist like Perry Como or the like tried to sing the song.
No one is being forced to like Dylan. I do find it interesting that MOST of the Dylan detractors in this thread tend to show up as an anonymous guest. That speaks volumes.
Yes, many faces are missing from "The Sixties Generation" snapshots, to be sure. Minorities and women especially. I can't think of that many women who, over the years, felt that Dylan spoke to them about much of anything. I think the so-called "Dylan phenomenon" is the construct of a white middle class male mind, and nothing more. And before you all come storming in to tell me you know just TONS of women who absolutely LOVE Dylan: there are always plenty of female appeasers to go along with the boys. Those sorts of women tend to always "love" whatever their significant male of the moment (be it a respected and beloved friend, boyfriend, father, brother, husband, etc) loves.
Not that Dylan doesn't have female fans. He does, and I've even known a few. But Dylan devotees these days seem to be mostly middle age and older men. Or at least that's what a friend of mine told me after attending a recent Dylan concert. Said he thought maybe he'd stumbled into a heavy metal gig for elders by mistake. ;-)
From: Little Hawk
Odetta was marvelous.
Peter, why would you not like Dylan's voice in '75, with the Rolling Thunder Revue? He was in great form. Or on "Blood On The Tracks"? Or on "Street Legal"? Or on "Infidels"?
I know his voice is different after '66, but it certainly wasn't lacking in either strength or range until about the early to mid-90's. It was almost gone in the last concert I saw.
From: GUEST,Rich
I don't think I'd ever paid much attention to Odetta, but hearing her clip in part one of the documentary just blew my mind. Does anyone know what song that was she was singing? The one where she was making these wonderful percussive sounds while she sang? I must find this.
Sorry .... Guest 9:59 is me.
Of course Bob didn't speak for everyone or 'his generation' ...many years later after 'that' period in the 60's history gives a rather one sided perception at that 'generation' of 'that period'. Many faces are missing from that snapshot many years later.
... but obviously you listened to them Peter T if you came to that conclusion.
I hate Dylan's voice since 1966, and it has gotten progressively whinier and miserable. I have to tune out his voice and listen to it as if it were someone else singing. The last two albums were excruciating to listen to. Amazing what you will go through in the expectation that there is a pearl in all these oyster shells (or a pony under, etc....)
Of course he didn't speak for everyone. Neither do guests.
"White liberal males from middle class families, who loved Dylan, found ways to stay out of Vietnam though, didn't they? He did speak for them, I'm sure.
But did Dylan speak for an entire generation?
No way."
I have to agree with you on that Guest!
I couldn't STAND Dylan's voice between 1963 and 1969 (when I was listening to virtually all the other well known folksingers with great enjoyment). Then I converted to absolutely LOVING his voice in '69, and have remained that way ever since. I had actually never given the man a chance until that year. If you point blank refuse to listen to something at all, how are you going to find out if it's any good or not?
(by way of explanation: I simply did not listen to commercial radio as a kid, except by accident. If I had heard Dylan on some radio, I probably would not even have known it was him. I listened to records that I or my parents had bought. Lots of them. We bought no Dylan albums.
After '69, and my discovery of what Bob had to say, I bought every friggin' thing he had ever recorded, and have continued doing so to this day. What Bob says gets my attention.
From: robomatic
LOL had dinner with a child of the 60's last night (He's a bit older'n me). I brought up the Dylan 'mystique'. My friend is as with-it as anyone else, but he is also an experienced chorister and he could never stand Dylan's voice, which I find not at all hard to understand.
We also talked about a phenomenon which one of you folks may have a name for: Listening to music much later and developing a like or dislike for it very different from your earlier feeling. I grew up not listening to pop music, then enduring a trip across the United States by car where for some reason there were no classical radio stations until I hit Chicago (and I didn't hit Chicago). Two weeks later I was listening to pop for life. My friend used to listen to a particular Marshall Tucker album before every ski trip. Recently he heard it for the first time in years and had a profound negative reaction.
From: DonMeixner
NAh! I'm just enjoying a Sikh sense of humor.
Yeah, that's what I noticed too, robomatic. Ironical, isn't it?
Guest with no name I'm guessin' you watched that documentary through a monocle...so's you wouldn't see more'n you can understand.
You are saying pretty much about Dylan what he said about himself, only YOU have a hangup about it.
Do people who run rodeos have some religious objection to riders wearing turbans then, Don?
From: Elmer Fudd
I like to speak for myself. I like to listen to others, Dylan included.
And get this: NOBODY speaks for a "whole generation". Nobody.
After all, you'd have to have everyone agree for that to happen, wouldn't you?
I thank God he didn't speak for you. You have no name, and probably nothing much else worth remarking on either.
Why the race and class issue matters? Because white boy liberals don't speak for "an entire generation". Nor did Bob Dylan. Sure he influenced a few black musicians. But that ain't the same as saying he wrote an anti-war anthem that kept them out of the draft or out of Vietnam, now is it?
White liberal males from middle class families, who loved Dylan, found ways to stay out of Vietnam though, didn't they? He did speak for them, I'm sure.
Thank god.
From: Owlkat
Meow y'all,
I was just channel flicking and watched it for a while. What I saw was an attempt to present an moving portrait of an apolitical, amoral, and pathalogically self-involved and very clever wordsmith, and his successful attempt to remake himself into a cultural icon and musical mystic, and profit. Oops. Freudian slip. He did nothing special in adopting/borrowing every popular style on his journey to stardom. So did hundreds of thousands of other urban folkies. Big deal.
I loved the part where he was working as a carnie. Boy, does that speak volumes.
He is a very sharp and opportunistic entrepeneur, who spotted music and cultural trends in their infancies, and surfed their leading edges to wealth, influence, and semi-godlike admiration. His anti-war songs were tailored to fit the sentiments of the day, but, all talk and no action is like a good intention. He never went to jail for protesting the war in Viet Nam, or walking in civil rights marches, or making any kind of significant gesture to really show his solidarity with the songs he was singing, and as far as Corporate America is concerned, I remember his songs being used for bank commercials.
So here's to Robert Zimmerman; con-man, and self-proclaimed guru. It's no wonder the documentary had little substance. So did its subject.
And I so totally mean it.
No black Dylan fans????? What about Jimi Hendrix doing "All Along the Watchtower?" Richie Havens also sang Dylan songs and knew him in the Village.
From: Bobert
Well, this past Saturday was the first time in six months that I've been able to make it up to Archie Edwards Barber Shop in NE Wsahington, DC, where more of the blues players are black than white...
But, hey, guy (okay, white) played "Maggie's Farm" and then I played "She Belongs to Me" an veryone seemed to diggin' the songs... Black, white, don't matter none... Everyone was playin'.... Sometimes foklks will walk out front if they don't like the songs but no one was walkin' out...
Now, I know that don't prove nuthin' an' maybe Dylan ain't been presented properly to the black community... If so, that's real sad 'cause Dylan plays a lotta blues...
As fir the other commentatries 'bout Dylan's influences and all... Hey, he is and was a friggin' folk singer... If we ain't caharged to look around at what's going down and report back in song, then who the heck is?????
Any criticism of Dylan because he was influenced by__________ (fill in the blank, is a lot of crap...
We are all influenced....
He did more than be influenced.... He reported what he saw... That's what make him a very, very special ( okay, maybe lucky) but special person...
MO....

Little Hawk,
Actually to be rodeo rider anywhere I think the Sikhs would have to wear the wrong kind of hat. It would be a religious issue.
Don (ducks low to escape serious notice) Meixner
I have almost never met a black Dylan fan either. So? What difference does that make? Dylan was certainly a fan of a whole lot of black musicians, and some quite notable black musicians were his friends and have covered his songs. You can see some of them in concert films, like the big Dylan anniversary show. Dylan gets along great with black musicians, it seems.
Does the fact that folk music was being marketed to a predominantly white audience back then invalidate it in your eyes? Why? What difference does it make? There were some styles of music that were marketed to an almost entirely black audience at that time. So? What difference would that make either?
The ethnicity of his audience is no argument against the quality or significance of his work.
You don't find too many black hockey players either. So what? It doesn't fucking matter! (and there ARE a few of them here and there)
It's a cultural thing. How many Sikhs do you find who are rodeo riders in Oklahoma? Does it matter. No. It doesn't.
Actually, I didn't say it was just a class thing, did I? If I did, my bad. It was a class and race thing.
In my mixed race high school, I didn't know a single black Dylan fan. And we actually had a fair amount of inter-racial dating going on in Westchester County back then.

Robomatic evidently has an awful lpot of information about GUEST with no name. Some kind of psychic reading I suppose...
GUEST with no name - 01 Oct 05 - 08:54 AM
I think the name of the critical analysis you espouse was "Dialectical Materialism" which called forth a dialect so obscure, full of its own definitions that it obfuscated rather than enlightened. Whether or not your argument holds water that BD was popular among certain classes does not call forth why you are so interested in this thread. By not identifying yourself you are more of a lightweight troll than a contributor.
It is just such trendy (or in this case defunct) analyses that bedevilled BD and made him such a hard press interview. I enjoyed the scenes where he was obviously trying not to be pigeon-holed by the press, including avoiding saying he was trying to avoid being pigeon holed, because THAT would have been a pigeon hole.
Guest, you would have fitted right in with the press of the time, even if you felt really cool that you were fronting the "Daily Worker".
So you obviously hold it against BD that he did not then nor does he now espouse those particular false ideals of class warfare that you embrace.
As for being involved in a recent commercial with some good lookin' women, it's his own affair and doesn't call into question anything in the Scorsese documentary.
This thread is starting to resemble a dissection table. . . .

He does it. You talk about it, and for as long as you do he spends the cash. What more of a reason does a man need, before you call him a man?
That would have been interesting as an electric version.
Of course the big omission in the documentary was the act just before Dylan went electric. I believe it was cousin Emmy doing her famous "Turkey in the Straw" beaten out on her cheeks. Makes you think.
What do you mean you don't understand? I'm not sure why he needs to explain it either.
I am sorry, nameless one, but I can shed no light on that either... ;-) None whatsoever. Bob can do what he likes, I will still like his songs.
I'm a man, and I'm asking why. Why do such a rubbish piece of commercial tripe with a bunch of undie bimbos?
It is very easy to figure out why he did that commercial. They asked him, they paid him, and they let him work with gorgeous women. If he said no, THEN we would be asking why!
And still, we are no closer to knowing why he made those rubbish lingerie commercials that made him look like a sleezy creepy stalker perve.

Saint-Saulve est une commune française située dans le département du Nord, en région Hauts-de-France.

Géographie
Saint-Saulve est une commune de plus de  en bordure nord-est de la ville de Valenciennes, sur la rive droite de l'Escaut et à quelques kilomètres de la frontière franco-belge. Elle appartient à l'aire urbaine de Valenciennes.

Communes limitrophes

Transports

La commune profite d'un réseau de bus Transvilles bien desservi dans la ville avec la ligne 5 (Gare de Valenciennes - Quievrechain frontière Europe), la ligne 6 (Gare de Valenciennes), la ligne S1 (Famars Université - Bruay-sur-l'Escaut). Une ligne de transport collectif en site propre (couloir de bus) est prévue pour 2014, en 2019, cette ligne rejoint gare de Valenciennes à Quievrechain passant par la place Poterne. Saint-Saulve est à environ 5 minutes de Valenciennes, 45 minutes de Lille, 2 heures de Paris, 1 heure 30 minutes de Londres via Eurostar à Lille Europe International et 1 heure de Bruxelles.

Le contournement Nord offre une nouvelle liaison Est-Ouest en permettant une liaison rapide entre Saint-Saulve et Raismes.

Saint-Saulve bénéficie de l'autoroute A2 Paris - Bruxelles - Maubeuge - Douai (par l'A21) et de l'autoroute A23 Valenciennes - Orchies - Lille.

Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat océanique dégradé des plaines du Centre et du Nord », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat océanique altéré » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Il s'agit d'une zone de transition entre le climat océanique, le climat de montagne et le climat semi-continental. Les écarts de température entre hiver et été augmentent avec l'éloignement de la mer. La pluviométrie est plus faible qu'en bord de mer, sauf aux abords des reliefs.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. Ces changements peuvent être constatés sur la station météorologique de Météo-France la plus proche, « Valenciennes », sur la commune de Valenciennes, mise en service en 1987 et qui se trouve à  à vol d'oiseau, où la température moyenne annuelle est de  et la hauteur de précipitations de  pour la période 1981-2010.
Sur la station météorologique historique la plus proche, « Lille-Lesquin », sur la commune de Lesquin, mise en service en 1944 et à , la température moyenne annuelle évolue de  pour la période 1971-2000 à  pour 1981-2010, puis à  pour 1991-2020.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Saint-Saulve est une commune urbaine, car elle fait partie des communes denses ou de densité intermédiaire, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.
Elle appartient à l'unité urbaine de Valenciennes (partie française), une agglomération internationale dont la partie française regroupe  et  en , dont elle est une commune de la banlieue.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction de Valenciennes (partie française), dont elle est une commune du pôle principal. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de  à moins de .

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (53,7 % en 2018), néanmoins en diminution par rapport à 1990 (56,1 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
terres arables (40 %), zones urbanisées (28,9 %), zones industrielles ou commerciales et réseaux de communication (15,8 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (7,6 %), prairies (6,1 %), milieux à végétation arbustive et/ou herbacée (1,3 %), mines, décharges et chantiers (0,3 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Logement
Le logement s'est aussi fortement développé depuis les années 1970 avec des quartiers résidentiels de grand standing comme les Alouettes, le Bosquet ou encore le lotissement Flaubert.

Toponymie
La ville semble s'être d'abord appelée Brenna, si on en croit Jacques de Guyse dans son Histoire de Hainaut, écrite au .

La ville prit le nom de l'évêque  (†  768) qui fut enseveli à Beuvrages.

Durant la Révolution, la commune porte le nom de Brenne-Libre, selon la pratique qui consiste à faire disparaitre les références catholiques ou monarchiques des noms propres, reprenant sans doute le nom ancien de la ville.

Ses habitants sont appelés les Saint-Saulviens.

Histoire
Charlemagne y fonda une basilique en l'honneur de Sauve d'Angoulême. Un prieuré bénédictin, installé au , fut élevé au rang d'abbaye au . Des fouilles archéologiques menées successivement par  Michel Descamps, Vincent Maliet et Éric Compagnon, ont été effectuées sur ce site, à la faveur d'un projet de construction.

Au Moyen Age, cette localité appartient à la banlieue de Valenciennes, sur laquelle cette dernière a autorité directe.

Le couvent des Dames de Beaumont déclare posséder des biens dans le village en 1602.

Le 22 juin 1810, une concession pour l'exploitation des mines de houille de Saint-Saulve est attribuée par décret impérial à la Compagnie des mines d'Anzin.

L'inventaire des biens de l'église de Saint-Saulve en 1906, en application de la loi de séparation des Églises et de l'État de 1905, s'inscrit dans la Querelle des inventaires connue dans différentes régions de France. Le maire, M. Place, accompagné du sous-préfet, et du percepteur, intervient sous la protection de l'armée, deux compagnies d'infanterie, et de six gendarmes à cheval plus trois à pied. Les sommations d'ouvrir restent vaines, il faut enfoncer les portes, renforcées de l'intérieur par une cloison de planches et deux blindages. Dans le chœur de l'église, se trouvent le curé avec une centaine de paroissiens en prières autour de deux toiles peintes, portant l'inscription « Ci-gît la liberté de l'église tuée par les francs-maçons ». Le prêtre proteste, on passe outre mais on accepte à sa demande de faire sortir les gendarmes. La porte de la sacristie, elle aussi recouverte de l'inscription, doit également être enfoncée. Une heure plus tard, tout est terminé, les fidèles crient « Vive la liberté! » puis chantent dans l'église « Nous voulons Dieu ».

Première et Seconde Guerres mondiales

Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, Saint-Saulve connaît d'abord la mobilisation générale des hommes de 20 à 48 ans. L'armée allemande, traversant la Belgique, entre dans le Nord : Saint-Saulve est sous occupation allemande le 24 août, Valenciennes le lendemain. La région est coupée de la France : l'arrondissement de Valenciennes émet des bons d'emprunt garantis par les communes pour une valeur de 1,7 million de francs, dont  à la charge de Saint-Saulve, et imprime des coupures de 1, 5, 10 et 20 francs afin de pourvoir aux dépenses : salaire des fonctionnaires, secours aux familles, contributions exigées par l'occupant. Ces dépenses se montent à  francs en 1916,  en avril 1917,  en novembre 1917. Le séminaire est transformé en hôpital militaire en 1916, les écoles servent à la détention de prisonniers de guerre britanniques et russes, soumis au travail forcé et maltraités. Les objets en cuivre, nickel, étain et bronze sont confisqués, y compris la cloche de l'église et la statue de l'actrice Catherine-Joséphine Duchesnois. L'occupant réquisitionne aussi de la laine, des matelas, de la main-d'œuvre et s'approprie une part des produits maraîchers. Le maire, Victor Hornez, qui s'opposait à ces réquisitions, est interné en Allemagne à partir de 1916.

Pendant la retraite allemande de 1918, le front se rapproche de Saint-Saulve : en septembre 1918, elle reçoit 200 civils évacués de Douai. Le 2 novembre 1918, Saint-Saulve est libérée par le Corps expéditionnaire canadien. Le maire Victor Hornez, libéré après l'armistice, préside la première séance du conseil municipal le 24 novembre mais il faudra plusieurs mois pour que la commune retrouve une vie normale. Ses pertes pendant la guerre s'élèvent à 105 morts militaires et 28 civils.

Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, 20 résistants sont fusillés à Saint-Saulve au lieu-dit Le Roleur le  septembre 1944.

Public universities and community colleges in the state have agreed to place students who score a 3 or higher on the Smarter Balanced Assessment test into college-level math and English courses.
In the past, many students entering state colleges had to take placement tests, regardless of their grades and past standardized test results.
But it makes sense that students who graduate from high school should be ready to handle entry-level college classes. This new arrangement means expectations are finally the same between high school and college officials, which has not been the case in the past.
It is good to see public high schools and public colleges finally will be in sync.
The annual Octoberfest Food Bank Food Drive is in its 13th year and brings about a great infusion of donations to the Tri-City Food Bank.
It is put on by Yoke's Fresh Markets, McCurley Integrity Dealership sites in the Tri-Cities and Walla Walla and Russ Dean Family RV in the Pasco Autoplex.
The dealerships are also donating a portion of their sales to help the food banks, with the goal of exceeding last year's total of $33,615.
The food drive has brought in almost 370,000 pounds of food since it started.
Helping the needy in our community is important, and with summer over and the season for fresh produce nearing its end, canned goods will be even more in demand.
Food drives such as this one help people put some food in their pantry. We are grateful to live in such a generous community.

DEMILITARISED DIPLOMACY South Korea proposes talks with the North In the face of escalating tensions, South Korean President Moon Jae-in
DEMILITARISED DIPLOMACY
South Korea proposes talks with the North
In the face of escalating tensions, South Korean President Moon Jae-in has suggested beginning military talks with North Korea at the demilitarised zone as early as today.
Pyongyang has not responded to Moon's invitation. Last year, sanctions were levied against the North in reply to the state's fourth nuclear test. Kim Jong-un responded by proposing similar talks to ease tensions between the two peninsular states. Then-South Korean President Park Geun-hye rejected the proposal as insincere, as no reference to denuclearisation was made. By offering such discourse, it is plausible that Kim was trying to sow division in both the international community's and the South Korean public's commitment to sanctions.
Given his nascent presidency, Moon could be looking to achieve an early victory by demonstrating the success of his adopted "Sunshine Policy." Such a triumph could come in the form of a resumption of the family reunion program, halted since 2015, deterrence against future missile tests, or a general easing of tensions by quelling the fusillade of vitriolic rhetoric that has come out of the DPRK as of late.
TRIAL THAIS UP
Yingluck Shinawatra faces sentence in corruption case
Yingluck Shinawatra, Thailand's last civilian Prime Minister, will be sentenced today for her criminal negligence and abuse of power in a corrupt rice subsidy scheme, of which she was convicted following her military ouster in 2014. Ms Yingluck's conviction could mark the end of her political career, preventing a return to a decade of Shinawatra rule and endangering the future of their Puea Thai Party.
The Puea Thai Party draws support from Thailand's "red shirt" alliance—northern farmers and rural workers whose support Yingluck's brother, Thaksin, rode to power in 2001. The red shirts have faced violent street protests and two coups in the past decade by the opposing royalist, military-backed "yellow shirt" alliance.
Yingluck faces 10 years in prison, and her likely conviction may prompt further protests from supporters who see her as a political martyr. The market for Thai rice has dropped by over a million metric tonnes since Yingluck's interventions, facing stiff competition from Vietnam and India, thus creating a basis for coming social unrest.
PRESIDENTIAL PARLEY
Mercosur's presidents convene in Argentina
The presidents of Mercosur, the largest trade bloc in Latin America, will meet in Mendoza, Argentina today.
Topping the agenda will be a proposed free trade agreement with the EU. Because Mercosur requires unanimity, ratifying a free trade agreement with the EU had never been possible, as leftist regimes long dominated the bloc. With Venezuela suspended and the socialist "pink tide" ebbing in the customs union's remaining states, a transcontinental free trade agreement seems more likely now than ever.
Opponents argue that it could jeopardise the success of domestic businesses. Conversely, proponents highlight that it will give the bloc's constituents access to higher quality goods at lower prices and benefit exporting businesses by eliminating costly tariffs.
Mercosur's executives are also likely to discuss greater integration with Latin America's other major trade union, the Pacific Alliance. With Argentina facing high inflation and unemployment as Brazil is poised to enter its third year of economic contraction, greater cooperation between the two trading blocs could resuscitate South America's two largest economies.
HAPPENING ELSEWHERE…
The Russian and Chinese navies will begin a week-long joint exercise in the Baltic Sea. The drills mark the first time China's People's Liberation Army has operated in the Baltic, highlighting the country's rise as a naval power able to project force globally.
Representatives from the UN Security Council's five permanent members will meet with their Iranian counterparts in Vienna to review the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal. The meeting comes days after the US confirmed that Tehran was complying with the deal but in breach of "the spirit" of the accords by continuing to develop ballistic missiles (which fall outside the remit of the agreement). The Trump administration also announced a raft of new sanctions on individuals who are connected to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

'Letters' a flawed but moving portrait of…
'Letters' a flawed but moving portrait of Mother Teresa
Juliet Stevenson plays Mother Theresa in "The Letters."
By Rick Bentley | Orange County Register
December 3, 2015 at 12:00 a.m.
The commitment by Mother Teresa to care for those who had been rejected by society is one of the most unparalleled displays of benevolence of the 20th century. The tiny woman showed the world through her actions the truest meaning of charity.
"The Letters," a new film from writer-director William Riead, reveals that even the woman whose grace, compassion and work earned her consideration for canonization by the Catholic Church had her doubts. Concerns about the loneliness and darkness she felt in her life plus an abandonment by God were only revealed through a series of letters written to her spiritual adviser, Celeste van Exem (Max Von Sydow).
Riead has elected to tell the story from the point of view of Benjamin Praagh (Rutger Hauer), a Vatican priest charged with investigating acts and events following her death that would determine whether Mother Teresa should be canonized. This is the movie's biggest mistake.
The story unfolds as Sister Teresa (Juliet Stevenson) hears a calling from God to leave the convent in Eastern Calcutta, India, where she has been serving as a teacher to work in the streets. She's not concerned with evangelizing but rather with offering care and comfort to the masses who are starving, sick or dying.
Despite her pure humanitarian reasons for wanting to work among the poor, the Vatican had to be convinced to change its rules. She eventually establishes her own congregation whose work is so world-changing that it earns Mother Teresa the Nobel Peace Prize.
The task of playing Mother Teresa falls to Stevenson, a noted British actor. It's a remarkable performance worthy of Oscar consideration considering how controlled the work had to be within the confines of Riead's script.
Mother Teresa was not prone to big displays of either joy or frustration, but Stevenson still manages to show the frustration and emotional burden that weighed heavily on Mother Teresa's shoulders. It was a burden she almost exclusively carried alone.
There would have been more emotional avenues for her to play had Riead opted to spend less time making a biopic on the life of the nun and more on revealing the contents of the letters.
This is a powerful part of Mother Teresa's life, but the way Riead has written the script and shot the film plays it too safely. Stevenson takes the material Riead gives her and plays the role with the respect and energy it needs and deserves.
She could have done so much more had the material been there.
But there are plenty of memorable scenes, from the anguish she feels, despite her heroic efforts, with a pregnant woman and with the motherly advice she gives the young students who are inspired to follow her lead.
Seeing Mother Teresa express her dark fears would have been more powerful than a room full of men sitting around pontificating about what she wrote. Even good actors like von Sydow and Hauer can only do so much.
Even with the technical glitches, "The Letters" is a loving and powerful tribute to what can be done when a person doesn't just profess to have a deep faith but takes action to show it. The fact that this saintly woman has some very common doubts and concerns only shows how dedicated Mother Terersa was to taking care of the homeless and helpless.
Mother Teresa's life was so inspiring that even a film that tells her story at only about 75 percent of its potential still delivers a heavy spiritual punch.

Please click here to learn about our Tricentenary Appeal to raise funds so that our 18th century church of St Helen can meet the 21st century needs of our parishioners.
This church 'on the hill' has been here since 1717. It replaced the 'old church' down on St Helens Duver which was washed away by storms after the river changed course and land was claimed by the sea. The bricked up tower remains and has been used as a sea mark for centuries. Mostly rebuilt in the 1800s, the building still retains some interesting old gravestones set into the floor, some fascinating memorials and hatchments and the George I coat of arms. At the far end of the extensive churchyard there is a grass path Labyrinth watched over by a solitary oak tree - a wonderful aid to prayer, reflection, or just 'slowing down'.
St Helen's Eco Church | St Helen's on Google Maps | Tricentenary Celebrations.
Originally part of the parish of St Helens work began on constructing St Peter's in 1859 and it became the parish church for Seaview in 1907. Much extended over the years the church now seats in excess of 200 with a side aisle and lady chapel built as a memorial to the men from Seaview who lost their lives in the First World War. The wide chancel arch is fitted with an attractive wrought iron screen.
A small chapel attached to St Helens Community Centre, built in 1992 to replace the by then dangerously dilapidated Mission Church and Institute Hall. Currently used for midweek services, once a month for a Sunday evening service and for special services around Christmas and Easter. A delightful, simple octagonally shaped room retaining some furnishings from the Mission Church. Available to be used for quiet prayer throughout daylight hours.
The nave of the church of St Mary the Virgin, Brading dates from the late 12th century. The north and south aisles, the chancel and the tower were added in the 13th century. The north and south chapels and the south porch are 15th century. In 1865 the chancel was lengthened to the east when the church was restored by the Oglander family. The tower is one of only four of its kind in England, being open on three sides at ground level from where wooden steps lead up to the bell chamber which has a fine ring of eight bells.
Originally built as a chapel for the Manor, the Church of St John the Baptist, Yaverland dates from around 1150. Within the south entrance porch is the original Norman doorway and the chancel arch has an intricate chevron moulding. In the 15th century the church was remodelled and square mullioned windows were installed in the chancel. From the reign of Henry VIII until 1945 it was a garrison church for troops stationed in the local forts. In 1888 a north aisle was added and the church was extensively restored.

Analysis of complex data sets, sedentary behavior and light intensity physical activity, physical activity and physical functioning among older adults across health care transitions.
She is interested in chronic illness self-management, healthy aging, and improving and preserving physical functioning among older adults, especially through physical activity.
Dr. Chase's clinical experiences as a cardiology RN and nurse practitioner inspired her interest in self-management of chronic disease among older people. She is especially interested in physical activity behavior in this population. She has studied the impact of activity on older adults' health and physical function, and how to change physical activity behavior. During her doctoral program, she conducted a meta-analysis to examine the effectiveness of interventions designed to increase physical activity behavior among older adults. During her postdoctoral training, Dr. Chase examined functional trajectories across health care transitions using existing clinical data sets.

Our Torsional Vibration Damper is a mechanism that transmits continuous torque and protects connected machines by damping alternating torque vibrations. It is designed to fit in the space between separated machinery shafts.
The torsional vibration damper can be applied two ways. It can be fitted directly between the ends of machinery shafts where it accommodates small misalignments as a quill or it can be mounted between the flexible elements of a flexible coupling forming the spacer portion of the coupling. This approach provides the equipment designer with the advantage of being able to mate the mechanism to flex elements of choice while allowing design for damped torsional natural frequencies.

Denna lista över hangarfartyg i USA:s flotta omfattar alla typer i skrovnummerserien, bestående av de med skrovklassificeringssymbol CV (hangarfartyg), CVA (attackhangarfartyg), CVB (stort hangarfartyg), CVL (lätt hangarfartyg), CVN (kärnkraftsdrivet hangarfarrtyg) och CVAN (attackhangarfartyg (kärnkraftsdriven)).

Alla fartyg efter CVA-58 är superhangarfartyg (). Samtliga fartyg efter USS Nimitz (CVN-68) har skrovklassificeringssymbolen CVN.

, ibland kallad Seeandbee och , också känd som The Greater Buffalo, var konverterade hangarfartyg och hade inte resurserna som andra hangarfartyg så dessa två användes på de Stora sjöarna för utbildning och skrotades senare. Wolverine skrotades 1947 och The Sable skrotades 1948.

Lista

a): konverterad för jetflygplan, hydrauliska katapulter, 1950-54
b): konverterad för jetflygplan, ångkatapulter, 1954-59
c): konverterad till vinklad flygdäck, 1956-59
d): omklassificerad till ASW (CVS), 1953-69
e): konverterad till amfibiskt attackfartyg, LPH, 1959
f): konverterad till träningsfartyg, CVT, 1969

Träningsfartyg

Under andra världskriget köpte amerikanska flottan två hjulångare och konverterade dem till träningshangarfartyg. Båda fartygen betecknades med skrovklassificeringen IX och saknade hangardäck, hissar samt beväpning. Fartygens roll var för träning av piloter i start och landning. Tillsammans tränade Sable och Wolverine 17 820 piloter i 116 000 olika landningar på hangarfartygen. Av dessa var 51 000 på Sable.

Discussion of Suddenness with Terence Maloon, Director, Drill Hall Gallery, Australian National University, Canberra, 23rd July 2022
DHG discussion
Interrogating the much-cherished concept of 'poetic thinking,' this book focuses on what interview and draft materials reveal of how poets actually do think, when in the act of writing. The interviews confirm what findings from cognitive science and linguistics make clear: we rarely know exactly what words we are going to say, until we have said them.
Suddenness and the Composition of Poetic Thought draws out the implications of a radically curtailed view of linguistic consciousness on how we understand the drafting and revision of lines of poetry, with implications for our theorisation of the composition of prose. Henrich von Kleist's assertion that 'it is not we, but a certain condition of ours which knows' emerges as central to this reassessment of the nature of the written word.
Employing an extensive archive of interview materials with major Anglophone poets, discussing how they think in the moments of composition, this book also provides a lucid account of the links between poetic composition and live performative thinking in the contexts of Romantic compositional practice and the early (pre) textual history of ancient Greek epic.
A transdisciplinary study at the crossroads of philosophy, cognitive psychology, literary studies and linguistics, this book reconceptualizes the wellsprings of poetic thought and advances our understanding of thinking's complex but vital link to improvised speech.

Die cuts can accentuate folded business cards like nothing else by engaging your prospects with something they've never seen before. Try to think outside the box here, because there are many ways to incorporate die cuts into your business card. You could try having one quarter of a half-fold cut away, for instance, thus revealing a teaser of what's inside the card. Other examples might be a realtor's business card with windows cut out; or a pet groomer's card with one slice in one of the card's edges, so that a tail seems to stick up once the card is folded. Using creative die cuts like these can make your card so appealing that prospects won't simply hold on to it - they'll show it to all of their friends and business associates and increase the marketing value of your business card exponentially.
Use the extra space afforded by a half-fold or tri-fold business card to add value through coupons, a punch card for discounts/gifts when all punches are filled in, a sports schedule or an event calendar. You could also try adding a survey that, when completed, is redeemable for free merchandise or services. In this manner you're able to increase the marketing value of your business card by collecting valuable demographic data to fine-tune your promotional campaigns. Give your target audience something useful they'll use over and over again, and use plenty of space to draw attention to it.
As you can see, folded business cards offer the best opportunity for you to grab your prospects' attention with creative design and motivate them to keep your card - and even show it around for you. As an often-overlooked yet valuable tool in your marketing repertoire, the folded business card is one of the least expensive ways to help your business stand out from the crowd.

On June 7, the Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous (YSR) will host their first spring auction, a must-add for everyone's calendar. The event will take place at Lumel Studios at 6 p.m. and will feature special guests that you won't want to miss. It will include a live auction, along with a silent auction to kickstart summer fundraising for the upcoming winter Sourdough Rendezvous.
The spring auction will feature dinner, with entertainment brought to life by the YSR cancan dancers and the Yukon Snowshoe Shufflers, along with a guest appearance by the one and only Queen Lisa. It will also be comprised of original Rendezvous history items, door prizes and a demo from Lumel Studios, the amazing sponsor and host venue for this event.
Rendezvous has some very special auction items in store for this year, which many of us die-hard Rendezvous-goers would be honoured to have. A highlight is the Golden Ticket, a pass that gives the lucky owner backstage access to Rendezvous events during winter 2019.
Another sought-after item to be auctioned is a spot on the cancan bus on Rendezvous Friday. The highest bidder will spend the day with the gorgeous cancan ladies, go where they go, see what they see, get into the bars and venues with them and enjoy the thrill of being with them for a full day of Rendezvous festivities.
Other items up for auction, to keep on the look out for, are vintage memorabilia, such as past souvenir programs—some even dating back 50 years.
But the most special prize of the evening (something not even the highest bidder can buy) will be the ability to share past Rendezvous experiences, create fresh ones and to be part of the start of a new spring Rendezvous tradition.
This event hopes to give everyone, including those who have participated (and continue to participate) in Rendezvous, a chance to get together with old friends, to reconnect and to meet new, like-minded friends ... all while indulging in a laugh about the good times shared over the years. Rendezvous aims to reunite old alumni while also bringing together the community for a night to remember, with upbeat performances, a fiery demonstration, sensational characters and a chance to reminisce during an auction of past Rendezvous memorabilia and experiences.
The executive director for Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous, Dave Blottner, expressed that Rendezvous is hoping that the auction will be an annual event, as well as an opportunity to meet with Rendezvous alumni, volunteers and other members of the community. He also said that he thinks this event will be a great chance to receive feedback, generate new ideas and assure that the Rendezvous committee is headed in the right direction for the 2019 winter festival.
We all know Rendezvous as a wonderful winter extravaganza that keeps many of us going through the long, dark, cold winters. This spring auction gives all Rendezvous fans and Yukoners an opportunity to gather and socialize when it's not –25℃ outside … so, leave your hats and mitts at home and make sure to stop by and share your thoughts, ideas and stories—this time in a much-warmer setting under the Yukon's midnight sun.

Call for local heroes to be included in artwork at Laurieston's new housing development
"It could be your granny, a local shopkeeper or just someone who inspires you"
Kirsty McKenzie
(Image: handout)
Local people and everyday heroes from the Gorbals will be immortalised in a special arts installation.
Bosses behind Laurieston's new housing development want to hear from you which local legends deserves to be honoured at the site.
Urban Union, developers of Laurieston Living, will review all the nominations and select 16 familiar faces to have their pictures taken, before the images are made into a permanent installation.
Neil McKay, Managing Director at Urban Union said: "The Gorbals is renowned for its community spirit and Laurieston Living is now firmly part of the fabric of the community.

"We want to celebrate the people who live in the area, which is why we're seeking nominations for 'local legends' – the people whose name may not be recognised across the city but who are making a genuine difference to the area in which they live or work.
"It could be your granny, a local shopkeeper or just someone who inspires you."
Laurieston Living is a £140 million revitalisation of the Gorbals area, with plans to deliver a total of four phases over a nine-year period. Phase 1A saw 201 homes constructed for social rent for New Gorbals Housing Association.

Phase 1B delivered a further 108 homes – 39 for Mid Market Rent for New Gorbals Housing Association and 69 for private sale for Urban Union. Phase 1C, completed in December 2018, delivered 55 apartments for New Gorbals Housing Association.
In Phase 2, Urban Union is building 173 private for sale homes. This latest phase is expected to complete by August 2021, and the first residents have already moved into their new properties.
To nominate your local legend, send an email to info@urbanunionltd.co.uk before the end of June with the subject line 'Local Legend' and a reason for your nomination.

Bledisloe secured, All Blacks putting foot down for Tri-Nations title
Sydney, Australia / Mon, November 2, 2020 / 01:35 pm

Australian rugby fans wallowing in Saturday's record defeat to New Zealand should not expect any respite in Brisbane next weekend with their trans-Tasman neighbours already turning their attention to securing the Tri-Nations title.
The All Blacks retained the Bledisloe Cup for an 18th successive season with their 43-5 victory at Sydney's Olympic Stadium, then celebrated by pouring what lock Scott Barrett said was about "40-odd" bottles of beer into the trophy.
Hooker Codie Taylor, however, said their celebrations were brief, and the team were reminded on Monday what coach Ian Foster and his staff expected of them against the Wallabies in Brisbane on Saturday and in later tests against Argentina.
"It was made pretty clear that it's time to move forward and there is a whole new challenge ahead," Taylor told reporters on a conference call. "We want to win that (the Tri-Nations)."
Foster is not expected to change much for the clash at Lang Park, with the All Blacks showing improvement each week and the dual-playmaking tactic of Richie Mo'unga and Beauden Barrett finally paying dividends.
The All Blacks have outscored the Wallabies 70-12 in the last two tests but Taylor said Dave Rennie's side had already shown what they could do when everything clicked.
Taylor also said he had spoken to Michael Hooper after the match and while the Wallabies captain was disappointed he still had confidence in the team and in what Rennie was trying to instill.
"When you're hearing that from a team that has lost, you're going to have stay on your toes because they're confident in what they want to achieve," Taylor said.
"I expect them to throw everything at us. I'm sure their focus is the Tri-Nations as well but in terms of playing us they have got nothing to lose."


In the corner of Compton Bishop churchyard lay a heap of branches which had recently been trimmed from the yew tree. "Help yourself," said the Vicar. "We're only too pleased to have them used." Several wheelbarrow loads up a slippery path to our van, a donation to the church funds and we were away with the goodies. Sorted, stacked and labelled, back at home the haul was stored in the former pigsties where we keep our carving wood. Somehow it's always nice to know where the wood for your carving came from rather than using an anonymous machined piece from a shop; and if you can carve directly from a log or branch, how much more choice of timber you will have.
Using just a few basic woodcarving tools, this seashell weekend project introduces you to direct carving using a tree branch or log of wood. Other skills which will be examined are rounding, cutting hollows and making long flowing cuts.
If you look closely at a real seashell, you will see there is a little curled channel that runs along the outside of the lower half of the aperture, and this makes a nice delicate finishing touch for your carving. The channel is deepest in the middle, at the bottom of the shell, becoming shallower at each end and finally merging into the outer surface of the shell above the widest part of the aperture.
Mark the curving path of the channel and starting at the widest part of the aperture, cut a groove downwards and towards the bottom of the shell using the No.9 3/8in gouge with a mallet. Do not start above here because you will lift away a chip - if you want to extend the groove upwards you will have to cut in the opposite direction and towards the apex. Stop cutting at the bottom of the curve or you will cut against the grain. Repeat the cut from the opposite side of the aperture so that both grooves meet cleanly at the same depth. Then with the No.3 gouge, work towards the rounded end of the shell and carefully pare away the edge of the groove, merging it into the surface of the shell so the other side of the groove becomes the curled lip around the outer edge of the aperture.
I used a straight branch of yew (Taxus baccata) about 305mm long with a diameter approximately 75mm, as round in circumference as possible along its length which I chose because yew has a darker heartwood than its sapwood, and thus the hollow aperture and the tip of the shell will contrast nicely with the outer lighter coloured sapwood. Other woods that can be used in the same way are laburnum, acacia (robinia) or plum.
There is no need to remove the bark beforehand as it will be removed as you carve. If you have to use a squared length of wood instead of a log, you will need to prepare it as cylindrical as possible, making sure there are no knots, deep indents or projections before you start carving.
Rounding over the aperture end is an essential technique almost always used in carving in the round and is done by lifting your gouge hand as you cut from all round the circumference towards the highest or central area. With practice, doing this should become second nature to you.
Using a mallet and deep gouge such as a No.8, 9, 10 or 11 3/4in, round over the end of the log, working towards the highest place on the end from all round, and remembering to lift your gouge hand as you cut forwards to produce a rounded over cut. Although it is possible to use a flatter gouge, the shaping will be done more quickly if you use a deeper one because each cut will be deeper.
To start rounding the end, make sure the log is held securely in the vice so it cannot slip or move as you work, and make the first cut, gouge bevel down, at a fairly steep angle outwards and across the sawn edge of the log. Strike the end of the tool handle smartly with the mallet so the cutting edge 'bites' into the wood. If the tool slips or scoots off the wood, hold the gouge a little more upright but not so steeply that its corners, or 'horns' dig in (see diagram 1). Aim towards the centre of the log and cut off the sharp edge around the circumference of the log. You should be cutting outwards, thus with the grain, as if you are sharpening a giant pencil.
Having completed the initial cuts around the end of the log, place the cutting edge of the gouge a little further back from them in line with one of the ridges between them. Steadily tap with the mallet along the ridge and remove it and as you approach the end of the log, lift your gouge hand so that the cut advances over the edge, so rounding the cut over and into the original flat sawn surface at the end of the log (see diagram 2). Continue thus around the circumference of the log, aiming towards the centre of the end and as you circumnavigate, gradually extend the length of your cuts until the original flat sawn surface is completely removed. If you find the end is becoming more pointed than rounded, lift your gouge hand a little more as you cut over the edge (see diagram 2).
by tilting it too much. If your No.3 gouge is not wide enough you could use a spokeshave, microplane or surform as an alternative way of smoothing the surface.
To shape the apex of the shell, imagine you are sharpening a pencil, i.e. cutting outwards with long straight overlapping cuts towards the lead (tip) at the other end of the pencil (log).
The tip or apex of a shell usually lies to the left of its aperture, so on the smoothed rounded end of your wood, draw the outline of the aperture, which should be egg shaped and slightly tilting to the right, (see diagram 3) and mark the position of the apex on the other end so that it is to the left as you look at the aperture. Then using the deep gouge and mallet, start with a short angled cut across the end around the circumference, aiming towards the tip of the shell with each cut. Continue the cuts starting further back from the end – but do not lift your gouge hand as when rounding over the other end - so each cut overlaps the previous ones, extending them more on the right-hand side of the log as far back as the top of the aperture, making your shell taper and lean to the left when viewed from the aperture (see diagram 4). For now, leave a small flat area on the end at the apex which allows you to adjust the final position of the apex and helps with holding in the vice. Smooth off the whole surface as before, removing any remaining bark, and adjust the shape until your shell resembles a lopsided teardrop and feels comfortable and smooth when held.
Using chalk or pencil, redraw the outline of the aperture on the newly smoothed area, and mark the spiral channel which runs from the upper edge of the aperture around the shell to the apex (see diagram 5). Carefully pare and adjust the rounded shape of the outer edge of the shell so that it corresponds with the curve of the lower part of the aperture using the spokeshave, surform or inverted wide No.3 gouge as described above.
Hollows and concavities of various depths occur in all forms of carving, and these are carved by cutting in from one side of the hollow towards its centre, then from the opposite side so that the two cuts meet at the same depth and the chip lifts away cleanly. This is known as 'making opposing cuts', and the technique is used for both making the hollowed aperture and cutting the spiral channel from the top of the aperture to the tip of the shell.
Within the outline of the aperture, draw a line across marking the deepest part of the hollow. Then using a mallet and a No.5 1/2in gouge, make a series of opposing cuts towards the line, extending and deepening them until you produce a hollow (see diagram 6). If a chip remains attached, resist pulling it away, but cut towards it more deeply from the attached side to release it cleanly. The hollow can now be deepened by hand pressure, raising your gouge hand more, tilting and scooping towards the centre of the aperture from each side. When the edges of the aperture begin to obstruct, round them over (see diagram 7) to allow easier access.
As you near the final depth use lighter shallower cuts and smooth the hollow, especially where the opposing cuts meet at the bottom. Then adjust the internal shape so that it corresponds with the external shape of the shell with the walls as uniform as possible. Using your fingers and thumb as callipers, feel the walls for discrepancies, mark them with chalk or pencil and carefully pare them away. It can be helpful to use a deeper gouge, such as a No.9 3/8in, and work by hand to smooth the inside surface of the aperture, but take care not to lever too hard against the walls or they may break. A gooseneck scraper can also be used to smooth the concave surface.
When you are happy that the concavity is smooth and the walls uniform, it is time to begin carving the spiral channel from the aperture to the apex of the seashell.
If you have not yet done so, round over the upper edge of the aperture to the start of the spiral channel using the 1/2in or 3/4in No.3 gouge, not forgetting to lift your hand as you cut towards the hollow.
With the same gouge, begin cutting the spiral channel using opposing cuts, holding the tool fairly steeply, and starting at the upper edge of the aperture (see diagram 8). Cut for about 50mm along its pathway from each side, taking care not to lift, twist, or flick out the chip, withdrawing the tool at the same angle at which it entered to produce a cleanly cut V channel.
Round over both upper and lower sharp edges of the V you have just cut, widening it a little at the start where it emerges from the aperture so that the outside surface of the shell merges smoothly into the channel - this can be done by inverting the gouge bevel uppermost, and paring with a slicing action along the sharp edge as long as you cut with the grain - usually towards the tip along the lower edge and towards the aperture on the upper edge.
Continue thus with the spiral channel, cutting and rounding its edges as you advance towards the tip or apex. Work small sections at a time so that you can alter the angle of the spiral channel if needed. If your shell becomes more upright and leans less to the left when viewed from the aperture, it can be corrected by removing a little of the surface above and to the left of the spiral channel before you continue onwards. If you want a more bulbous shell, cut the channel deeper and wider before rounding its edges.
When the spiral channel emerges on the small flat area you left at the tip, use the No.3 gouge inverted and carefully pare away its sharp edges using as little pressure as possible. Cut towards the centre of the apex from all round until it is bluntly pointed (see photo 12) and if having done this, it looks a little top heavy, reduce the circumference of the previous section.
Mark the curving path of the channel and starting at the widest part of the aperture, cut a groove downwards and towards the bottom of the shell using the No.9 3/8in gouge with a mallet (see diagram 9). Do not start above here because you will lift away a chip – if you want to extend the groove upwards you will have to cut in the opposite direction and towards the apex. Stop cutting at the bottom of the curve or you will cut against the grain. Repeat the cut from the opposite side of the aperture so that both grooves meet cleanly at the same depth. Then with the No.3 gouge, work towards the rounded end of the shell and carefully pare away the edge of the groove, merging it into the surface of the shell so the other side of the groove becomes the curled lip around the outer edge of the aperture.
Handle the shell between your hands and feel for any irregularities, nicks or roughness, and remove these by careful paring with a No.3 gouge. Then use a sharp cabinet scraper to smooth it. Check that inside surfaces are smooth and that the spiral channel is cleanly cut along its length. Then abrade all surfaces using 240grit garnet paper.
Finally, apply a coat of wax polish. If this reveals any blemishes, remove them. For a very smooth finish, re-abrade all surfaces with 320grit garnet paper, re-polish with a good quality wax polish and buff up with a lint-free duster. Your carving is complete.
