Inspired stocking-fillers
by Deborah Collins, Patricia Maché
We have made a small and inexhaustive selection of homeopathic books that have made a real impression on us; thoroughness, innovation, practicality, humanity, humour are but a few words that come to mind when reviewing them. These books will be perfect 'stocking-fillers' and will bring pleasure to homeopaths and to 'normal' people alike! Browse and enjoy![1]
What a delightful way to spend a morning, or an evening, laughing your way through a whole series of animal portraits in various remedy states. Then, long after that, the images remain – little gems of insight all packed into visual form, conveying the essence of each remedy in a way that only a cartoon can. The book is intended for use in animal homeopathy and is useful for seasoned homeopaths, as well as animal lovers in general, and an excellent text book for homeopathic students. In fact, I suppose it will inspire many to see their well-known remedies in new ways, in humans as well as in animals. The stunned and bruised pig lying on the road, muttering "I'm fine, don't touch me," while a truck rambles off in the distance, is instantly recognised as Arnica, as is the love-sick Antimonium crudum dog, yearning after a butterfly, and on the other hand sulking about, grumbling "don't look at me…" Then, comes the Platina cat, haughty and isolated, spitting and scratching at her own kittens, the Plumbum horse, picturing himself in its full glory of by-gone days yet withered, weak, and decrepit, and the Cocculus mouse, peering in anxiety at her bed-ridden mouselet, with the exhaustion of many sleepless nights etched on her droopy face. And what about the Tarantula dog, who looks as though he has put his nose in an electric socket or the highly emotional Camomilla horse who does not want to be approached or even looked at but … wants to be carried! Every time I turned a page, I thought I had found my favourite, only to be delighted by the next one. The words on the drawings point to the key elements of the remedy, making it easy to commit to memory. The text itself, concise and accurate, presents insights into animal homeopathy gleaned from practice, as well as literature. It is obviously written by someone who knows and loves animals well, and who, through her talentuous pen, is able to show us their world as if we were in their skin, so to speak. It is no less obvious that the author has a tremendous knowledge of her Materia Medica, distilling each remedy to its essential drops with an ease that only comes from an experience steeped in empathy.
In short, this book is delightful, insightful, witty and of course, extremely useful.
My only warning would be "don't put it down to unpack the rest of your Christmas goodies, it is bound to be snapped, passed around, chuckled at, and put to use, before you get the chance to set eyes on it again."
When I first received Frans Kusse's book on children's types, I put it aside for later reading, thinking there would not be much new in it. After all, I had read and reread Douglas Borland's Children's Types until it fell apart in my hands, and kept up on most developments since then. How wrong I was!
The portraits, all 56 of them, are like little jewels scintillating at each turn of the page, highlighting the essence of some of our major remedies, as well as some more recently in use. Frans Kusse's many years of experience and ongoing learning, as well as his natural compassion, shine through when he writes about the children suited to the remedies. For him, seeing the good in everyone is not just a lofty ideal, it seems to be ingrained in his very nature and put into his daily practice, and this is evident in his descriptions.
We all know the disturbed side of our remedies – the jealous Lachesis, the feisty Belladonna, the shy and awkward Baryta. But Frans Kusse seems to go inside each of these types and see the world through their eyes, to sense their struggles and their strengths. One learns to recognise these so-called "common remedies" in new ways and to understand their behaviour better, so that we can perceive them in our patients long before the picture has become a full-blown pathology. The remedies are described not only in an individual sense, but also in their relationship to their origin and the family to which they belong.
For instance, Chamomilla, of the Compositae family (Asteraceae), shares with others of that family the problems of setting boundaries, quickly interpreting things as threats. Many Compositae remedies tend to seek help from others, then let their boundaries be overstepped; Chamomilla children deals with boundaries in their own way: defending themselves by challenging and pre-emptively going into attack, in order to reassure themselves that they are strong enough.
The Hyoscyamus child is portrayed not only as attention-seeking and demanding but, in a healthier state, as being spontaneous and devoid of timidity, charming and cute, singing and dancing to anyone who will listen or watch. The background of the remedy state is made clear: the feeling that they are neglected, for instance after the birth of a sibling, when they can exhibit violent fits of jealousy or rage. The portraits can be helpful for parents struggling with difficult behaviours, providing not only homeopathic relief but also insights into the inner world of their child and how they can help him best.
Newer remedies are also described, such as Lithium, Lithium Phosphoricum and Beryllium, all remedies from the second row of the periodic table, which has to do with childhood states. We know Borax as a remedy for oral thrush in children, and Manganum as a remedy for earaches, but how well do we know the children that need them? Frans' familiarity with Jan Scholten's approach is evident in his work, and he has made it his own.
Many of the remedies are accompanied by photos from the clinic of Ulrich Welte, Herbert Sigwart and Markus Kuntosch in Kandern, Germany. The likeness between children requiring the same remedy is often striking. Many remedies also have case studies, short, clear and convincing.
A small section at the back serves as a handy introduction to some common children's problems: ADHD is mentioned, with a differential between some important remedies, as well as a brief section on ear and eye complaints and skin problems. It by no means serves as a complete guide, nor should it be used as such, but it could give parents an idea of how a consultation works in these cases – looking for the deeper cause rather than merely looking up the symptoms. The book is rounded off by an index of emotional characteristics and remedies that (often) display them.
All in all, this book has been a delight to read, helping me to see these children and their remedies' pictures afresh. It is impossible to give a complete portrait of all remedies applicable to children – after all, every remedy can be used. But it gives a beautiful template for the study of other remedies in future, creating a picture of a whole remedy, and a whole person. It can be useful for both students and practitioners of homeopathy, and for parents, and I am sure it will find its way into many a waiting room. There is, after all, something quite wonderful in having a parent come into the practice, having recognised a remedy, and to find that it is the perfect one.
In 1996, Jan Scholten published his ground-breaking book "Homeopathy and the Elements", translating the periodic table of the elements in such a way that every element and every compound could be utilised in homeopathic practice. This discovery has changed the world of homeopathy and its possibilities for cure. Gradually, homeopaths from every continent have put these insights into practice, with varying degrees of success. Those who have persevered, despite the inevitable difficulties inherent in a new method, have come to hail Scholten's work as an enormous advance in medicine for, indeed, illnesses which could not previously be treated were becoming treatable. Some have cast his work aside in derision, claiming that it is not possible to know the effects of a remedy without thorough proving, while others have recognised the possibilities but have found it too difficult to apply in practice.
After fourteen years of putting these concepts into daily practice, testing them for their validity and their usefulness, Ulrich Welte has written a much- needed and welcomed book: "The Periodic Table in Homeopathy, the Silver Series." Through close contact with Jan Scholten and through his own meticulous approach and intuitive insights, Ulrich Welte has made the system his own, applying it with confidence and flair. What was previously the initial map of a new territory has taken on more detail and contour, and the inhabitants of this land more familiar features.
The book opens with a refreshing recapitulation of general ideas, giving an oversight of the periodic table and its use in homeopathy. It then focuses on the Silver series, illustrating each element with up to four cases. Through a thorough explanation of the developmental stages, following the rise and fall of the Gausse curve as it is inherent in nature, one learns to extrapolate this series to the whole of the periodic table. This differentiation method can also be applied to the plant kingdom, and will prove to be invaluable for finding many hitherto under-utilised remedies as Jan Scholten's map of the plant kingdom comes into use. It is in the extensive differentiation between the various stages that this book shines, for this has often been a stumbling block for those using Scholten's method; a whole chapter is devoted entirely to this topic, giving countless examples of the subtle nuances between one stage and another, and another chapter deals with the differentiation between the series. The ability to discern accurately between the various stages is not only essential when using mineral remedies; it will be increasingly required to differentiate the various members of plant families, as Jan Scholten's map of the plant kingdom comes into use. When using remedies which have incomplete provings or none at all, we are dependent on our ability to discern one state from another by other means of analysis: behaviour patterns, career choices, that which triggers illness or problems, and other personal characteristics. Welte leads us in a masterly way through the process of differentiation, starting with the initial impression (confident or not? trusting? impulsive? conservative?) and then fine-tuning the two or three selected remedies. The situations of the remedies are brought to life through vivid descriptions, as in Indium: "The younger guys are thronging behind you: nowadays, they know their way around better and are already calling the shots. You must cut back, partially withdraw, and restrict yourself to the tried and proven." Having the patients read these pictures can become part of the consultation process, as they recognise themselves in one remedy or the other. Other tools, such as colour preference and hand-writing analysis, as well as a study of facial features and body build, serve to confirm the remedy choice. Ulrich Welte makes use of all available information to find a remedy, from the more traditional proving material to the newer insights. As he says "it is like two sides of one coin, why not use both."
The cases are clear illustrations of the remedies and are convincing in their extensive follow-ups. The book is completed by a history of the development of the periodic table and by easy-to-use charts and oversights. The layout and cover-design are attractive. The patients' words are appropriately left in their colloquial form, which makes it very lively, and here comes my only (minor)criticism: a more formal written style in the text itself would have, perhaps, been more appropriate and have better suited the rigorous approach of this book. Those who are reluctant to apply the element theory in their practice, as well as those who already use it, will have much to gain from the grounded philosophy and expertise of this book.
The co-operation between Christa Gebhardt, journalist, and her husband Jürgen Hansel, homeopathic physician, has led to an extraordinary book. "Whole Again" is a collection of 13 case histories from various homeopaths, documenting life stories, illnesses, homeopathic treatment, and subsequent improvement in severe illnesses. The authors have travelled throughout Europe and to India in order to speak personally with the people involved, and they have succeeded in bringing across not only the life stories but also the surrounding atmosphere in such a way that one can readily relate to each person. The illnesses themselves, often severe pathologies, such as meningioma, auto-immune illness, or deep depression seem almost secondary; a natural manifestation at a physical level of the distress that is played out at a soul level. This is no dry summing up of facts, with tables of rubrics and remedies, but an encounter with real people whose individuality is of utmost importance. The remedy choice is clearly explained and convincing, as are the astounding results, even in cases which would normally be considered incurable. As one would expect of a truly holistic approach, not only the physical amelioration is taken into account but also the person's sense of inner freedom.
The authors make clear that not all homeopathic patients enjoy such spectacular results as those narrated in their book. A realistic view of homeopathic practice is given, with all the ups and downs, and the sometimes lengthy search for the simillimum. The concept of "spontaneous cure", often cited by sceptics as the cause of improvement after homeopathic treatment, is laid to rest.
A wide variety of approaches is offered, with cases presented by well-known and respected homeopaths, such as Jan Scholten, Rajan Sankaran, Ulrich Welte, and Jayesh Shah. The choice of remedies, too, varies from the well-known Carbo animalis and Plumbum metallicum to the lesser known Neodymium Oxydatum and Chonchiolinum, or to the even totally unknown Scorzonera. This variety offers much to the new homeopath and to the experienced practitioner alike. The manner of case-receiving itself serves as a shining example of how the art and science of homeopathy can be practiced in depth, to the fulfilment of both patient and practitioner. The book is complete with a periodic table of the elements and a glossary for those who are unfamiliar with homeopathic terms. The simple and clear narrative style elicits such a sense of proximity that one could be forgiven to think oneself present during the case receiving; a silent but attentive witness. Whole Again is a book which practitioners, after having absorbed the content themselves, would want to put in their waiting rooms, or pass on to family, friends, and all those interested in discovering the depths of healing possible with homeopathy. Whole Again is, indeed, a beautiful work of love.
In her book, "Butterflies", paediatrician Patricia Le Roux explores a whole new family of remedies. Inspired by cases from Jean Pierre Janssen from Holland and Chetna Shukla from India, Patricia and a team of colleagues have undertaken a series of provings of various butterflies and moths, in an attempt to understand more about this fascinating and elusive aspect of the insect realm and its application to homeopathy. In total, thirteen provings are presented and vivid descriptions are given of each of the butterflies' characteristics. The illustrations, in colour, are beautiful and the lay-out is delicate and tasteful.
Specific themes have emerged during this process, which seem to be quite particular to the butterfly/moth realm. These small creatures are known for their ability to transform, to metamorphose from egg to larva (caterpillar), from larva to chrysalis, and finally, to adult butterfly. They live a very short life, flitting from one thing to the next, ethereal, and unsubstantial, before laying their eggs and then dying. Unsurprisingly, these various aspects have surfaced in the provings.
An important theme, which runs through all the butterfly remedies, is the feeling of 'abandonment' and 'lack of guidance'. Important, too, is the 'reduction in mental agility', which often manifests itself by a lack of concentration; the agitation of the "butterfly mind", its lack of concentration, and its tendency to flit from one thing to the next. Consequently, one of the main applications of this family of remedies is in the field of behavioural problems; a whole spectrum of complaints, from memory lapses to hyperactivity, often diagnosed as ADHD. The propensity to dress up in pretty clothes and to wear masks, particularly in children, is another sign which can point to the butterflies. On the physical level, allergies and skin complaints are often observed.
Dr. Le Roux has illustrated each butterfly with a case and has clearly shown the thought process involved in choosing a particular remedy. The cases themselves are striking, both by their likeness to the butterfly that has been prescribed and by the results of the treatment. As Patricia is quick to point out, however, this is only a preliminary study. More research and more clinical experience are needed to deepen and enlarge our knowledge of this numerous and diverse family.
The question is often asked "Why do we need more remedies at all? We already have more than 3,000 remedies and we do not even know them well. Does this search for new remedies not make homeopathy more difficult than it already is?" This book can, perhaps, give an answer to that question for it shows how in learning to recognize the different aspects of Nature, mirrored in our patients, we open ourselves to all the healing possibilities that she has to offer. By observing its inherent patterns, in this case the 'butterfly mind', we are gifted with yet another means to heal.
"Spectrum of Homeopathy", Narayana's now two year old journal, is making its mark in the homeopathic world. Its initial aim to present the rich diversity of homeopathic practice in an open and encompassing way has been achieved and even surpassed. The name Spectrum of Homeopathy beautifully illustrates the aim of combining modern insights and the ancient wisdom of our forefathers. Well-known and respected homeopaths regularly contribute to the three yearly issues of Spectrum, sharing with us their knowledge, experience, and research. Each issue is based on a particular theme, allowing a throrough and comprehensive coverage of the chosen theme. The articles are of high quality, and the photographic work is stunning. With a more than reasonable subscription price, Spectrum will keep you at the edge of homeopathic research and in touch with the homeopathic community worldwide, It is a magazine definitively worth collecting, sharing, and recommending to friends and colleagues.

Back to 2011 December


These Apple Bacon Bites are a little bit sweet, a little bit savory & a whole lotta good! Make extra as they'll be the hit of your next appetizer spread.
And I'm not just talking about the holidays, friends.
November and December mark the beginning of another lesser known season – Opal® apple season. And these Apple Bacon Bites are the best way to celebrate!
Never heard of Opal apples? Neither had the cashier when I was checking out at the grocery store a few weeks ago. But you'll definitely want to tune in to this season as Opals not only make excellent eating apples (think crunchy and sweet), but they also have this awesome characteristic that cannot be overstated: they don't turn brown after you cut them. How is that for life changing?
Typically raw apples will brown within a few minutes to an hour of being cut. Not so with Opals. And that non-browning characteristic makes them the perfect topping for these Apple Bacon Bites. This easy warm appetizer seamlessly combines the flavors of tangy goat cheese, savory caramelized onions, salty bacon and sweet apples – what's not to love here?
Tip: Don't have Opal apples where you live? No problem. Chop up your favorite apple in its place and simply toss with a little bit of lemon juice before topping the phyllo cups. But do try to search out Opals if you can. It's definitely worth the trip.
P.S. Need a quick tutorial on how to caramelize onions? We got ya.
In a small bowl mix goat cheese and milk together until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Place cheese mixture in a plastic bag and snip the edge of the corner. Squeeze 1 teaspoon goat cheese mixture into each phyllo cup. Place 1 teaspoon caramelized onions on top of cheese mixture. Sprinkle with bacon.
Bake for 7-10 minutes or until cups are golden brown. Remove from oven and place 1 teaspoon of diced Opal Apple on top. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
a whole lot of good is right!! I love all the flavors in one perfect little portion!!
Portion control is key for me this time of year!
These look delicious. Perfect for a holiday appetizer!
And they come together quickly, too. Double bonus!
Me, too, Heather! It's always a winner in my book.
I love the combo of apples and bacon! And Opals are my favorite…I stocked up at Lund's yesterday!
Bacon, apples and caramelized onions? Sign me up!
I'll make 'em for you any time, Lauren!
My husband just commented yesterday how I've been listening to the same Christmas music for weeks, so yes, I do! I've not every had an Opal apple. I need to check them out.
You must, Beth. I just know you'll love Opals!
I have the radio station that plays Christmas music 24/7 for the month of december on all the time. . love Christmas music in the house. . and these apple bacon phyllo cups are just the kind of bite sized apps I love! and I need to find opal apples! can't believe they don't brown when you cut them!!!
We should get together and bake and listen to Christmas music all day long, Alice!

Arsenal captain William Gallas apologized for setting a bad example last season and promised to learn from his errors if Manager Arsene Wenger makes him captain again for the upcoming campaign.
"You know I learned a lot, you want to be the best captain, give good advice to your players, but sometimes you can make mistakes as well," Gallas told Arsenal TV, "so I think this season I know what I'm going to do and I know I am ready to change my way to speak to the players."
The Frenchman's experience will be needed as the Gunners, who have acquired Samir Nasri and Aaron Ramsey, are one of the youngest teams in the EPL.
"They are very shy," Gallas said of the new arrivals, "but it won't be difficult for them to settle in. The squad is fantastic the atmosphere is very good, so I think it will be fine for them."

Amid Rising Crises, Turkmenistan Strengthens its Military and International Outreach
By John C. K. Daly
November 19, 2020, the CACI Analyst
The year 2020 is proving to be inordinately arduous for Turkmenistan, inflicted with a multitude of problems including the Covid-19 pandemic, plummeting natural gas prices and increasing concerns about rising violence in neighboring Afghanistan. Complicating the Turkmen government's response to these crises is the country's relative isolation imposed by its internationally recognized policy of strict neutrality. Given the transnational nature of these issues, the Turkmen government is fitfully readjusting its domestic and foreign policies to cope, as the threats are both internal and regional. The Turkmen government is increasingly aware that Turkmenistan cannot unilaterally resolve these threats and is attempting to devise international outreach programs for assistance, a significant deviation from its previous isolationist nationalist policies.

Russia's Military Capabilities in the Caspian
By Nurlan Aliyev
February 21, 2019, the CACI Analyst
On December 5, 2018, Colonel-General Alexander Dvornikov, commander of the Southern Military District (SMD), stated that the basis of an inter-forces troop contingent including sea, air and coastal components has been established in Dagestan. According to Dvornikov, fighters of the 4th Army Air Force and the SMD's Air Defense have been put on alert at one of Dagestan's airfields. Strengthening its high precision strike capabilities in the Caspian, Russia also intends to improve its ability to block the Basin to outside actors in support of its strategies regarding the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Middle East. The Caspian holds immense strategic value to Russia, given its geographical proximity to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.

Barbra Streisand has two Oscars, eight Grammys and millions of album sales. She could probably read and record the stops along the route of the D train through the Bronx and get a No. 1. But with her latest release, she's done something different: Her new album, Walls, addresses songs — including some of her own originals — to the president of the United States. Hear her conversation with NPR's Scott Simon at the audio link, and read an edited transcript below.
Scott Simon: Why was it important to you to do this album?
Barbra Streisand: Because I could express my thoughts and feelings at a time when I was feeling sad and heartbroken about what's happening to our country. And I'm so grateful that I have music in my life that gives me the chance to express my feelings through my work.
I gather the song "Don't Lie to Me" is not about a busted love affair.
No. I started off trying to create that so that more people could relate to it in a way — lovers who go through this all the time. But it's like that joke: A woman walks in and her husband is in bed with another woman. She gasps, and he says, "Well, who are you going to believe: me or your lying eyes?" I guess it's about lies: The lies that are coming out of this administration are very unpleasing, unsettling. Maybe that means so much to me because I was lied to as a child. I've based my whole career on telling the truth.
Do you have any concern that people who love your singing might not like the message of this album?
That's true, and they're entitled to do that. I made this album to express my heartbreak after this last election. I am for discussion, for agreeing to disagree, but in a civil discourse.
You said you felt especially strongly about the truth because somebody lied to you when you were a child. What happened?
One summer, I was sent away to a religious camp. I had left a home in Williamsburg, where we lived in an apartment with my mother's parents; I slept in the bed with my mother in another bedroom and my brother had a folding cot that came out at night. When my mother came to pick me up from that camp, she didn't tell me that this man in the car turned out to be my new stepfather — which I was never introduced to or told about — and we were taken to a different apartment, a project in Flatbush. That's the kind of story. I just think that the truth is so powerful — truth between people, truth in government. Tell us the truth.
This album has a beautiful version of John Lennon's "Imagine" that works its way into Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World," that song written by George Douglas and George David Weiss. Why did you include these songs?
Because I believe in hope. I believe in goodness, I believe in kindness. I believe that we can even manifest what we imagine. I did that as a young child: I imagined what life could be for myself, and it came true. I think imagination is so powerful, and this is one of the most beautiful songs. It's a great peace anthem.
This has been an especially tough week and a half for the United States, with pipe bomb explosives in the mail, U.S. troops being sent to the border and then, of course, the deadly shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh.
Oh gosh. That's why I'm so ... He gave my depression a depression. It's been a horrible week.
Haven't a lot of American Jews believed that anti-Semitic attacks were only in the past for America?
No, no. Anti-semitism is rising. It's so sad for our world to have to demonize a certain group of people. It's immigrants as well.
Jews, every Friday night, believe in taking a stranger in and feeding the stranger. They believe in kindness, and they believe in helping the refugees, like they were helped when they came over to America. We're all immigrants, aren't we, except if you're a Native American. I mean, my grandparents came from Russia and from Austria. Where did your grandparents come from?
On the Jewish side, Spain; on the Irish side, Belfast.
That's right. If we just look at ourselves as all being immigrants, we can accept each other more easily, love each other.


Outside of performing, lighting and theater work have taken Kevin's interest. He also has a strong love for becoming a DJ. He's always had a love for sketching, poetry, singing, playing the drums at his church, and his new found love for fitness training.
Rhapsody James, Lyle Beniga, Neil Schwartz, Ryan Davis, Luam, Valentine Norton, Candance Brown are just a few choreographers/dancers that have inspired Kevin's dance career. Others include Alonzo Williams, Aurelia Michael, Ronald Coleman, La Jon Dantzler, Ryan Miller, Brian Puspos, Bam Martin and Maurice Dean.

#PrideOfTheValley | John Collins
14th January 2020 13:30pm
The #PrideOfTheValley campaign launched last season to reward the most dedicated Charlton fans. Each home league game, a fan is selected to win the award and the individual is presented with a signed shirt.
Today John Collins, who is 92, has been nominated by the Maidstone and Weald supporters group. John has been watching the club for 83 years and was at Wembley for the club's triumphant 1947 FA Cup Final win.
We asked John for some of his Charlton memories…
Why I became a Charlton fan: At 9-years-old I returned home from school one day and asked him if he would take me to see Arsenal. He said it's too far and after a pause, said that Charlton was much nearer and that they had just been promoted to the old First Division. I reluctantly agreed, and that was that for 83 years.
My first game at The Valley was: In 1936 but I don't remember the opposition. This was the season that we finished second to Manchester City having been promoted in the previous two seasons. Finishing second after two promotions is still a record I believe. This was followed in the next two seasons by finishing fourth and third.
On April 26th 1947 I was: At Wembley. It is noteworthy that my future wife chose to collapse on the terraces at Wembley (due to the heat) at the very moment that Chris Duffy scored the winning goal against Burnley in the 1947 FA Cup Final.
On May 25th 1998 I was: At Wembley. Memories - Clive Mendonca's fantastic hat-trick, Shaun Newton's final penalty kick which he clearly didn't want to take, Sasa Ilic saving Michael Gray's penalty, great joy at the end, Alan Curbishley flinging himself on top of Sasa Ilic!
On May 26th 2019 I was: Ill at home watching the match on TV with several members of my extended family. Memories - the horrific own goal, the excellent equaliser and the stunning winner. Great joy again.
My favourite Charlton game (not including the play-off finals) is: The 1947 FA Cup Semi-Final against Newcastle at Elland Road. We heard a rumour before the match that many of the Charlton players were suffering from food poisoning. We found out afterwards that this was true and several were actually sick at half time. Before the start the players were told that they had better score in the first half as they wouldn't be up to scoring in the second. Newcastle supporters brought a coffin draped with a Charlton flag which they paraded around the ground before the match. They were sporting enough to repeat this after the match with a Newcastle flag over the coffin as we had just thrashed them 4-0. (I would like to pay tribute to football supporters from the North East, in particular the Sunderland supporters, who have been gracious in congratulating us after both of the play-off finals when they must have been bitterly disappointed).
My favourite Charlton player is: Eddie Firmani, who was always very exciting to watch in the 1950s and 1960s. It often appeared as if the ball was attached to his ankle. He scored many great goals, often assisted by Stuart Leary and Bobby Ayre.
In those days injured players often returned to the first team at centre forward as this position was regarded as being less subject to fierce tackles than at full back where Eddie had been playing before injury. He was so successful as a forward that he never played elsewhere again.
The best part of being a Charlton fan is: often succeeding when unexpected (and vice versa !) and always feeling at home at The Valley as opposed to being very uncomfortable at Selhurst Park and Upton Park.
My all-time Charlton XI would be: Dean Kiely, Billy Bonds, Frank Lock, Bert Johnson, Derek Ufton, Mark Kinsella, Gordon Hurst, Bobby Ayre, Eddie Firmani, Stuart Leary, Keith Peacock
Subs: Sam Bartram, Don Welsh, Harold Hobbis, Scott Parker, Lee Bowyer, Clive Mendonca, Derek Hales
The Charlton player of the season will be: Conor Gallagher
The game I am most looking forward to is: Today's match as this is an honour for me.

First stop, a newly-opened railroad museum with hats and photo-ops galore! Bug and Bitty Girl shared some rare brother-sister-bonding time on the train station platform. I could almost picture them in 1920's garb waiting for a train to stop with a swoosh and a puff of steam to sweep them away on a grand summer adventure!
My smiling oldest daughter is already on a grand adventure aboard the vintage train car. The just-her-size piano was a big hit.
The dining car still boasted original stained glass, hardwood furnishings, and opulent wallpaper. The museum official in charge of refurbishing this jewel let us peek into all the nooks and crannies of the compact rooms beyond the dining car. They were all mid-renovation but still with plenty of historical charm. The entire train car was on a concrete foundation, which surprisingly resulted in a smoother ride than modern trains according to the renovation conductor. There was even a control panel for the AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT from early 1920's! I had no idea they HAD AC that long ago! The tiny bedroom had a baseboard heater that was somehow connected to the steam engine, and there was even a fold-out sink and toilet in one corner. No privacy, obviously, but I'm sure it was a luxurious amenity when compared to previous train toilets ; ) I wish now that I'd taken more pictures of the rest of the car!
The best conductor of all ; ) But make sure you pay for your ticket because he doesn't look like he'd be very sympathetic to stowaways!
Every boy needs a chance to play with an original Morse Code machine, right? There was even a code sheet next to the "clicker" so he got to practice some real messages.
Second stop, the fogbound bay to dine in our traditional harbor-side restaurant with the rest of our extended family.
While we waited for dinner, we got to watch this big guy beg the "leftovers" from a local fisherman who was gutting small sharks and other fish. His dinner was less than appetizing to look at, but it was pretty awesome to watch the giant sea creature toss and fling and smack his food against the water to break it apart into "bite" sized pieces, then dive for each pieces individually. A picture really doesn't do the performance justice, but being new to blogging, I haven't taught myself how to upload a video yet. That'll be one of my future projects, I promise!
After dinner my Bitty Girl took on some angelic qualities… *snort* Anyone who knows her knows she's not the most angelic kiddo at times! I guess she'll take all the help she can get ; ) These are REAL shells, by the way. Can you IMAGINE a clam that size?!
My favorite green bug hamming it up for the camera while we tried to walk off some dinner calories!
Fun! That's the kind of train I would love to ride. I wish the old ones weren't always parked museums.

Over 30 'Jessica Jones' Photos Show the Marvel Hero in Action
Over 30 Jessica Jones Photos Show the Marvel Hero in Action
— November 5th, 2015
In just 15 short days, Netflix will unveil Marvel's Jessica Jones, the second of four TV shows set in the Hell's Kitchen area of New York City. To help pass the time, Netflix has released 30 photos from this highly-anticipated series, which give us a fresh look at the title character (Krysten Ritter) along with Trish Walker (Rachael Taylor), Jeryn Hogarth (Carrie-Anne Moss), Malcolm (Eka Darville), Kilgrave (David Tennant), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Will Simpson (Wil Traval). Unfortunately these photos don't reveal too much regarding the plot. Hopefully we'll learn more as the countdown continues.
Ever since her short-lived stint as a Super Hero ended in tragedy, Jessica Jones has been rebuilding her personal life and career as a hot-tempered, sardonic, badass private detective in Hell's Kitchen, New York City. Plagued by self-loathing, and a wicked case of PTSD, Jessica battles demons from within and without, using her extraordinary abilities as an unlikely champion for those in need... especially if they're willing to cut her a check. These photos come just a few days after the synopses for all 13 episodes leaked online, which may have confirmed a recent plot rumor.
Last week, it was reported that The Man Without Fear, Daredevil (Charlie Cox), will be appearing on the show in some capacity, although it wasn't stated when he may arrive. The synopsis for the season finale, AKA Smile, revealed that both Jessica Jones and Luke Cage receive help from someone else in the neighborhood. While Daredevil's name isn't specifically mentioned, many already assume that it's Matt Murdock who comes to their aid.

It's also possible that Rosario Dawson's Claire Temple, a.k.a. Night Nurse, could be the one who helps Jessica and Luke. The actress has signed a deal to, not only return for Daredevil Season 2, but also appear in Marvel's Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. All four of the Netflix shows, Marvel's Daredevil, Marvel's Jessica Jones, Marvel's Luke Cage and Marvel's Iron Fist will converge in the miniseries The Defenders. While it isn't known if Claire Temple will show up in Marvel's Iron Fist, some have speculated that she could be the one character that ties into all four shows.
Marvel hasn't announced exact premiere dates yet for Marvel's Luke Cage and Marvel's Iron Fist, but they are expected to debut in 2016, along with the second season of Daredevil. The miniseries The Defenders is slated to arrive in 2017. Marvel's Jessica Jones on Netflix is Executive Produced by series Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg (Twilight, Dexter) and Liz Friedman (Elementary), along with Jeph Loeb (Marvel's Daredevil, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), who also serves as Marvel's Head of Television. Take a look at these new photos from Marvel's Jessica Jones, and stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the November 20 premiere.

Gender Inquiry
This website provides a means for Australian doctors to support the call by professor of paediatrics and child health, John Whitehall, for a formal Parliamentary Inquiry into "the rapid rise of childhood gender dysphoria in Australia and the lack of scientific basis for current medical treatment."
Over a two-week period, Sunday 22 September to Sunday 6 October 2019, doctors will be able to add their names to our joint letter of support for Professor Whitehall's proposal, and the letter will then be sent to the Health Minister, Greg Hunt MP. Additional signatories after this fortnight will be welcomed but not included.
We agree with Dr Whitehall, as stated in his letter to Minister Hunt of September 4th: "It seems that public policy and medical 'best practice' is being declared in haste without a sufficient foundation of fact and reflection, and a formal Parliamentary Inquiry could provide that foundation."
We appreciate the Minister's concern for the rapid escalation of childhood gender dysphoria, as evidenced by his referring the matter to the RACP for consideration, but we note Dr Whitehall's observation that, "the RACP is ill-fitted for such an investigation. It is, after all, an organisation primarily dedicated to the education of physicians. Interpretation of ethical issues that transcend the activities of physicians and involve participatory social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists and surgeons are beyond its purview."
The College has itself confirmed, in response to the Minister's invitation, that "the RACP is primarily an educational institution and does not conduct inquiries". The College also confirmed that it "strongly supports" the type of treatment guidelines published by the gender service at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, a commitment that seems to preclude rigorous critique of such guidelines.
Our joint letter appeals to the federal Health Minister to establish a Parliamentary Inquiry into this deeply troubling matter, where parents, teachers and lawyers as well as doctors and others may bring their concerns to our elected representatives for thorough consideration.
Thank you for joining us in supporting this proposal by Professor Whitehall.

Sexuality: Almost every tenth woman has pain during sexual intercourse
Doctors are looking for reasons for pain during sexual intercourse
Actually, the most beautiful thing should be a pleasant and exciting experience for men and women. However, researchers found that almost every tenth woman suffers pain when she has sexual intercourse.
British scientists found in an investigation that almost every tenth British woman appears to have pain during sex. Around a quarter of these women suffer from permanent or very common pain. The doctors published the results of their study in the journal "British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology" (BJOG).
Study examines approximately 7,000 sexually active women
The survey of nearly 7,000 British women showed that 7.5 percent of sexually active women between the ages of 16 and 74 reported having had pain during sex in the past three months or in the past year. A quarter of these women suffer from very common pain during sex, the experts say. For some participants, the entire sexual intercourse of the past six months was painful.
What age women are most affected?
The problem most often affects women between the ages of 55 and 64, followed by younger women between the ages of 16 and 24, the authors explain. Generally, doctors concluded that painful sex is reported by a substantial minority of women in the UK.
Many women with problems complain of a lack of interest in their sex life
Connections to other problems in sex life have also been found in many women who reported painful sex. Many of those affected complained of a general lack of enjoyment during intercourse. 62 percent of women reported that they had no real interest in sex. 40 percent complained about a lack of enjoyment. Almost a quarter of all women in pain during sex said they felt no excitement or arousal during sex, the British scientists add.
Problems that arise can also affect the psyche
45 percent of the women surveyed also complained of an uncomfortably dry vagina, compared to ten percent of all women who did not have painful intercourse, the doctors say. A link between pain during sex and psychological problems in women has also been found. A fifth of all women with pain said they had anxiety about sex. About 11 percent of women with pain during sexual intercourse reported depression.
Affected women often have physical illnesses
Physical health was also common among women with pain during sexual intercourse. 13 percent of participants reported poor physical health and 11 percent said they had more than two chronic illnesses, the authors say. Of the women with pain during sexual intercourse, 13 percent had contracted sexually transmitted infections within the past five years.
A lack of communication leads to difficulties
About 13 percent of women with pain complained about a lack of emotional attachment. Eight percent of the participants also found it difficult to talk to their partners about sex. 14 percent of the women in the study also had a history of sexual abuse.
Many sufferers generally avoid sexual intercourse
A third of the women also reported that they were unsatisfied with their sex life. In contrast, the figure for women without pain was only ten percent. Almost half of women with pain (44.9 percent) avoided sexual intercourse in the last year.
General happiness in the relationship does not have to affect sex life
The study found no relationship between general happiness in the relationship and sex life. However, there was a strong association with some sexual aspects of the relationship, the doctors say. These included, for example, the general interest in sex, the lack of an emotional connection, and deviations in sexual preferences or dislikes.
Due to embarrassment, many affected women do not seek expert advice
Many of the women affected are not sure how to deal with their problem. The pain that occurs during sexual intercourse is usually extremely uncomfortable for these women, the scientists explain. For this reason, many affected people avoid visiting doctors or experts. These women simply cannot imagine how a doctor could improve their problem, the researchers explain. Or the women concerned think they have already found another solution, such as reduced sexual intercourse or complete abstention. So simple embarrassment could be a reason why so many women suffer from the problem. (as)

We here on the West Coast are lucky to not be in that terrible cold and snow. We're always ahead of most of the rest of the countries (USA & Canada) in having a first taste of Spring! It's glorious, isn't it?
I am ready for Spring!! lovely shot.
Spring is KOMING, I KNOW it is!
That's a pretty marvelous kickoff!
oh how wonderful! Today I got to walk on the beach in the warmth but the trees are nowhere near ready to leaf-out. They haven't even started blossoming yet.
Thank you for sharing! I miss Oregon during this month....early spring there is SO beautiful.
oregon is beautiful. we've been planning for years to go visit again.
YEY so happy to meet Spring finally !
Beautiful colors ! Well done !
What a pretty scene! The pond is beautiful, love the coots too!
Beautiful colours! We still have just greys and browns.
Oh yes..this is beautiful..Michelle from Nature Notes..
Spring is kicking off in slow motion here.
It's funny to see my Easter egg wreath on the front door and snow on the ground. I'm in the spring spirit however.
wow, gorgeous colors! after months and months of white, here comes spring, yay! can't wait to see more.
I spent many lunch hours in that park. I am assuming it is still to early for the rhododendrons?
Looks like a very relaxing place. Beautiful!

President Donald Trump and his administration have ignored House Democrats' request for documents as part of a sweeping corruption probe.
In total, 81 officials — more than 60 of whom work in the administration — reportedly received requests earlier this month. Politico reported that White House officials have been "unusually hostile" in responding to the document requests. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the House Judiciary chairman, is leading the Trump corruption investigation, one of several inquiries many congressional committees are launching into the president, his businesses and his family and associates.
The Trump administration has also reportedly refused to comply with requests from the Oversight, Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees regarding the president's conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as requests about Trump's national emergency declaration from last month to build the border wall without congressional approval in order to curb illegal immigration. Both the Democratic-controlled House and the Republican-controlled Senate voted to reject Trump's emergency declaration, although the president quickly responded by vowing to veto Congress's decision. Lawmakers could then potentially override this veto.
"The White House is taking the exact right tactic to ignore the requests and see what comes of it. I wouldn't respect [the Democrats'] process," David Bossie, an adviser to Trump, told Politico.
The White House has also recently refused to come clean about several other issues, like the reasons for and process by which Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were granted top security clearances. House Democrats have also rebuked the administration for this.

A classic wet fly, the Zulu is a common fly used on Stillwater venues for targeting Brown Trout and for targeting Sea Trout. However, if you head over to Ireland, you will find larger versions of the Zulu being used as a dapping fly. Trout find most of their food at sub-surface levels in the water and the Zulu is defined as a larva, pupa or drowned adult, depending on which variant you have, so it'd be a great idea to keep a few variants of this fly in your fly box!
All of the materials needed to tie this fly are available from Glasgow Angling Centre as listed below, but as always, if you need any help finding materials or substitutes then we'll be happy to help. Time to tie the Peacock Zulu Wet Fly, with the guidance of Davie McPhail.
Additional materials: Additionally, Davie made use of Varnish, which he applied to the thread after completing the fly.


We drove through Encino, New Mexico on our way to the Carlsbad Caverns. Encino looks like it has fallen on hard times, and this ramshackle house, just about to collapse, seemed to characterize the town as a whole. The house was so memorable on the way down that I was determined to take its photo on the trip back — and was happy to catch it during the magic hour just before sunset.
Route 285 is a straight shot. You head directly due south, from the Santa Fe area through the ranch lands of New Mexico down to Carlsbad. The road is pretty much straight as a die, as if it were drawn with a straight-edged ruler, like the border line of a state shown on a map.
At Clines Corners you stop, because everyone who drives Route 285 has to stop at Clines Corners. It's a way to relive the America of the Route 66 era. You eat a hearty breakfast — the Truck Drivers' Special is highly recommended– and you wander a bit through the massive "gift shop" area, marveling at who might actually collect thimbles representing each of the 50 states or Zippo lighters with NASCAR markings, or who might make an impulse purchase of "trophy husband" boxer shorts while at a roadside store in the middle of New Mexico.
And then it's back on the road, motoring over the mostly dry and barren countryside, blessedly free of billboards but with not much else to see, either. Scrubby trees, small, dessicated bushes, and spiny looking plants roll by outside the car window, with an occasional herd of cattle to break things up a bit. Your eyes feast on every shade of brown you can imagine, and after a while the world becomes focused solely on the landscape and the road. You wonder if that UFO crashed in Roswell because the aliens manning the craft were suffering from highway hypnosis.
At a roadside rest stop, there is a commissioned piece of public art that prominently features road signs — as well as a towering lance that is easily the tallest object on the horizon. Why not? On Route 285, it's all about the road, the road, the road.

As we kick off tax season, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities' Get It Back Campaign and the Financial Clinic have teamed up to help you sort through what tax reform might mean for your tax refund, and what you can do to make the most out of tax time. This is part one of a three-part series.
The amount of tax you pay is based on your income bracket. When you file your taxes this year, your tax bracket may be slightly lower or higher, depending on your annual income.
Two other factors that influence the amount of taxes you owe include other tax credits you are eligible for and the amount of taxes you paid in advance throughout the year.
In the past, you could claim personal exemptions for yourself and your tax dependents. These exemptions reduced your taxable income, lowering the amount of taxes you pay. Now, you can no longer claim these exemptions. If your family has one or two dependents, the new standard deduction provides a similar benefit (see #3). If you have more dependents, the elimination of personal exemptions means that more of your income may be taxable.
The standard deduction, like other tax deductions, reduces your taxable income, which lowers the amount of taxes you pay. The new standard deduction has nearly doubled, helping to offset the elimination of exemptions.
Amount – The CTC is now worth up to $2,000 for each qualifying child under age 17. Previously the credit was worth up to $1,000 per child.
Minimum income – If you earned more than $2,500 in 2018, you may be eligible for the refundable part of this credit worth up to $1,400 (also known as the Additional Child Tax Credit). This means that even if you don't owe taxes, you will still receive the refundable portion as a tax refund.
Taxpayer identification requirement – Children you claim for the CTC must have a valid social security number (SSN) that authorizes work. As the tax filer, you and your spouse (if present), can have an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) or an SSN.
As part of the changes to the CTC, there is a new $500 non-refundable tax credit available that you can use to claim dependents. This includes children 17 and older, children with ITINs, and other relatives (for example, dependent parents). Since this credit is non-refundable, it only helps reduce the taxes you owe and doesn't provide a refund.
State and local taxes – The amount you can deduct for state and local income taxes, real estate taxes, and personal property taxes is limited to a combined total of $10,000 ($5,000 if married filing separately).
Home mortgage interest – Interest on home equity loans is no longer deductible. This is one of several changes to this deduction.
Medical expenses – Medical and dental expenses are deductible if they are more than 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI), which is the same as last year. This will increase to 10 percent of your AGI in 2020.
These tax law changes are temporary. These changes are effective when you file your taxes this year for the 2018 tax year, and expire after 2025, unless otherwise noted. In 2026, these tax laws changes are set to revert to previous levels.
Professional free tax help is available. There are other changes under tax reform that may affect you. Since there are several factors that can influence the amount of taxes you owe and the size of your refund, it is important to get tax help from a qualified tax preparer. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program has a network of experienced tax professionals who provide tax preparation for free. Volunteers receive specialized training and must pass a certification exam annually. (There isn't a similar requirement for paid tax preparers.) Learn how to find a free tax site near you or call your local United Way 2-1-1 service line.
There are new tax forms. This year, there is one Form 1040 to file (two half-sheets) with other forms available. This form replaces Forms 1040A and 1040EZ. Additional forms that you need to file depend on your personal tax situation.
Refund delays continue. The Protecting Americans Against Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015 requires tax refunds that include the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit to be held until February 15 so the IRS can check your income against what your employer reported. The IRS strives to issue refunds within 21 days of processing, however, additional delays are possible following the partial government shutdown. If you've submitted an ITIN renewal with your tax return, expect further delays since your ITIN application must be processed before your tax return.
Ecosystem News and Year-End Woohoos! Tax Time Kickoff Series: Part II- How Can I Make the Most of My Tax Refund?


Happiness Indexes and happiness ratings get a great deal of media attention. Happiness does vary by culture and some countries and cultures are happier than others.
The key questions to ask are: "What causes these differences in happiness?"
And most importantly, "What can we do to be happier?"
Our research shows the happiest people in the world are the most loving people, they are very kind, caring, compassionate and they have high ethics and integrity.
Habitually happy people love what they do, they love the people around them, they love their work and they love themselves. Love truly does propel happiness. Optimism, love and joy characterize happy people, cultures and countries.
In the Western world, many people chase after "Success" thinking "Success" will bring them happiness but they are often very disappointed. Happiness and "Success" are two very different things.
There are lots of very "Successful" people who are not especially happy. Michael Jackson comes to mind.
America's focus on competition and material "Success" at the expense of love, caring, community and compassion lowers our comparative Happiness index.
In bad economic times, when material "Success" is elusive for so many, we feel even worse.
The secret to happiness is so simple it almost seems trite, but it works.
Fuel your life and your work with love. Love what you do, love the people around you, love your work, your tasks and love yourself. Revolt and rebel against letting hardships down your spirits. Resolve to triumph and be happy despite your difficulties.
Explore HappinessBlog.com and HappinessInHardTimes.com for more simple, specific steps you can take to be happier during difficult times.

Unicorn Celebrancy
News / By Chris Capel / Leave a Comment
Celebrancy
A celebrant can deliver non-religious versions of the ceremonies which mark the important milestones in life.
About Unicorn Celebrancy
Most people will have encountered celebrants at secular funerals in Crematoriums or natural burial sites. We would meet with the family or friends to learn about the person who has passed, and work with them to design and deliver a ceremony which commemorates the life of that person in accordance with their wishes. This would include welcoming the mourners, and possibly writing and delivering the eulogy before the committal. Of course the eulogy may be delivered by a family member or close friend. The celebrant can help with choosing readings and music and would orchestrate the funeral.
With covid restrictions meaning that funerals were limited to low numbers of mourners a celebrant can help with creating a memorial ceremony. There are few, if any restrictions, on these so unlike funerals they could be held at weekends or evenings, in a pub or place where the deceased was happy. Internment of ashes is a little more regulated but there are still options.
Another area which has been hit by the covid limits is weddings. A wedding delivered by a celebrant has no rules, either in location or words used. It is not a legal marriage so couples would still need to attend a registry office to sign the forms but this could be done in a short appointment with 2 witnesses for under £200, any working day. Or you may just choose a "commitment" ceremony. The wedding can then take place anywhere, a wood, a garden, on the beach, on a farm, the only limit is your imagination. You could hold your wedding on horseback at the top of the gallops if that is what you want. A celebrant will write a ceremony which reflects the couples' relationship and can include anything which is important to them, lyrics of a favourite song or quotes from a favourite film. Rituals such as ring-warming, handfasting or sand-ceremonies can also be included. Friends and family can have roles. So this is often a perfect choice when families are being blended, or if the couple want to include elements from different cultures and backgrounds. Vows can take any form and include promises relevant to the couple, eg "I promise not to leave wet towels on the bathroom floor" or "I promise to always protect you from spiders" The celebrant can help write these!
For some people events of recent years have led them to consider a vow-renewal ceremony. Again, like a celebrant-led wedding there are no rules and the only limit is your imagination.
Many families have missed out on the celebrations of new arrivals, a baby-naming ceremony, a non-religious version of a christening, is an option a celebrant can help with. A lovely opportunity for a family get -together to introduce a new (or not so new) arrival. Again there are no rules so a garden, or house, social club or pub can host.
Other ceremonies can also be arranged to celebrate for example; adoptions, gender-reassignment, or divorces. Pet funerals are also something a celebrant can do.

About Tina Banyard, founder of Unicorn Celebrancy
"I came into celebrancy quite gradually. Sadly I have reached the age where I find myself attending more funerals than I would like, and felt that I would like to write ceremonies which truly and compassionately reflected the life of the person who has passed, tell their life stories and allow their friends and family to remember and celebrate the contribution that person made to their own lives. As an amateur I wrote a few eulogies and conducted my mother's funeral so it seemed natural to make this my career"
"I love talking to people and finding out about the fascinating lives other people have led, my natural state is sonder and I want to hear and share those stories"

Trying to Bear With a Big Red Identity Crisis
By | October 31, 2006
Trying to get in the spirit of Halloween, I stumbled upon the first annual Ivy League Mascot Masquerade Ball. At the event, most of the costume selections, like the nickname that goes with them, are a bit questionable. They range from the mundane and unoriginal (Princeton Tigers, Brown Bears, Columbia Lions) to the historically awkward (Penn Quakers) to the colorfully pretentious (Harvard Crimson). Other costumes seem ambivalent. The life of the party is Keggy the Keg, Dartmouth's fitting mascot who is trying to make the other guests forget that Dartmouth is actually embarrassingly named The Big Green by offering free keg-stands. Humping the sofa is Handsome Dan, Yale's bulldog continually reminding everyone that many Yalies prefer to be called by their pompous alias, Elis. It is quite a spectacle to say the least.
One guest, the most ambiguous of them all, is missing. The Cornell mascot has yet to make his grand entrance into this celebration. Perhaps he got too drunk pre-gaming with a case of Beast and didn't realize it was already well past midnight. More likely, however, he is brooding over how he will answer the inevitable questions about why he is dressed like a bear when the Cornell nickname is the Big Red. It is doubtful that he will come up with an appropriate answer…
Nicknames matter in sports. Absorbed in the mythology surrounding the athletic universe, names and mascots are an essential part of team identity for fans and players alike. These nicknames are symbolic and many have come to take on a life of their own, no longer needing to be accompanied by the city, university, or region to which they are attached. In New York, for example, this time of year everyone knows what team you are referring to when you say the Giants. (Yes, Joe Buck, there is only one major sports franchise in New York called the Giants. In the post-1957 era it sounds ostentatious when you say the New York Football Giants, so stop.)
Good nicknames are original and make sense. The best nicknames, however, seem destined and perfect. This year's New Orleans Saints are the ideal example of a team truly defined by its nickname. They may not be saviors, but just by playing hard each week — and surprisingly winning for a change — the real-life Saints provide redemption, conviction and inspiration for an entire region torn apart by Hurricane Katrina.
A few years before he died, the diabolically pious Hunter S. Thompson said that if sports were a religion, they would be exceedingly more popular than Catholicism. Thompson's prophecy does more than merely point toward the truth, it reflects the nature of our world. In this world, nicknames and mascots are like the sacraments — not just symbols, but a way to directly embody what they represent (a team) and communicate it to the followers (fans).
Great nicknames create legacies, make villains and heroes, and spawn acts of devotion from people across the globe. Pittsburgh may be just a city, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are an identity, the operative impulse that represents the incessant working class drive of the team and its fans alike. What's in a name, you ask? Much more than you think…
Bob Kane, chronicler of the history of Cornell athletics, cites the instigation of the name Big Red in 1905 from a song written by Romeyn Berry, Class of 1904, in which he refers to Cornell as "the big red team." That's it? Not quite the glorious connotation you might have expected. About 10 years later, the tradition of using a real bear as a mascot began, and, aside from the current lack of live bears, the names remain the same today.
We are one in a select group of universities to identify a separate nickname and mascot. Notably, since its politically correct switch from the Indians in the 1970s, Stanford identifies itself as the Cardinal (what is with these shades of Red?), but has a tree as its unofficial mascot. For us, and maybe for them, it is like being in nickname limbo, unable to put your finger on exactly what it means to be a Cornellian — indeed, we are suffering a identity crisis.
With this in mind, the question we will continually face is how to do you classify a Big Red. In breaking down the name, neither word is particularly glamorous. "Big" is one of the most indeterminate adjectives in the English language — it can be used to describe anything from Bill Parcells' midsection to Terrell Owens' ego. Depending on what it refers to, it can be an insult or a compliment, and in sports terms it doesn't necessarily conjure up the images of dynamism and vehemence that we desire in a team name.
And then there is "Red" — talk about your mixed signals. It is the color of passion and blood, but also a universal symbol to STOP and a way to describe financial debt. I am not sure about the message we are trying to send here.
The bear, then, is nothing more than an anomaly. The logo of the growling, rabid beast adorns the wall in the Friedman Strength and Conditioning Center, the mascot shows up at sporting events, and the term even manifests itself in the name of campus establishments like Bear Necessities. But still we are not the Bears, which is probably a good thing — that would be incredibly trite. Speaking of trite, however, the Big Red, is not even unique. The website gobigred.com is a fan site supporting the Nebraska Cornhuskers, not my beloved Cornell. Thus, our nickname is both awkward and banal, which makes "Lets Go Red" chants even more confusing when we play teams also sporting this popular color.
I'm probably over-thinking this, but I speak not out of disgust with our nickname, but rather out of confusion. My obsessive love for Cornell and Cornell sports is at the root of my mystification — I just want to take ownership of our athletic moniker. Twenty years from now, when people ask where I went to school, I want to have the luxury of responding like many proud others who can say they are a Longhorn, or a Tar Heel, or a Buckeye. What will I say? I am a Red. Yikes.

Auerbach Bestows Basketball on New Generation
By Josh Perlin November 2, 2006

David Nulle: Lynah Legend

Cleveland Rocks
You've seen him dressed up as everything from Elvis to Napolean, but David Nulle isn't just "The Zamboni Man" at hockey games. With more graceful turns than the skating bears and better fashion sense than candy-striped tuba players, Nulle is a personification of the creativity, tradition and passion that make Lynah Rink home to one of the greatest spectacles in all of college sports.


We chose Javea on the costa Blanca to see the eclipse because it has the best record of clear skies along the whole centre line. On the eve of the eclipse however the weather forecast showed it to be the only place with any cloud. So we got up before dawn and drove 200km to Minglanilla in Castilla-la Mancha.

Q: How to record 4th input channel audio I have an audiocard with 4 input channels: mono, stereo, 3 , 4. Is there any sdk way to record 4th channel data?
Now I just can record only mono/stereo by AudioRecord.

A: According to the Android docs for AudioRecord, the only channel input configuration's available specified are AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_MONO or AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_STEREO.
However, it seems that much higher number of channel outputs are supported according to the AudioFormat docs (or are at least planned to be implemented if not already).
I think that this would be a challenge on its own to implement it yourself, but could be worthwhile doing (I didn't manage to see any obvious solutions for this or any open source code yet). However, an example on the app store does exist, so it is possible via the USB interface according to the USB Audio Recorder Pro App.
JUCE (a mostly audio based C++ library that can compile directly to Android .apk s) seems to be working on this as well but I haven't seen a solution to this yet (maybe in the very near future).
I think you would have to go directly into OpenSL (C++ with JNI) to get the raw audio being received and then pass this back into Java to do whatever you wanted to do with it. Probably worth investigating OpenSL recording through USB devices with something like this to get started.
I know this is a lot of links, but hopefully it will get you started if you did want to implement this functionality (comment a link if you ever did start it).
Otherwise I hope this helped anyways!

A: Have recorded 4th channel audio. I use tinyalsa through jni. github.com/tinyalsa/tinyalsa
In this way, data is recorded from /dev/snd/pcmC1D0c, but it's needed root access or a+rw rights on pcmC1D0c.
