Amoth's roots are strongly founded on 80's heavy metal, but branch out in different directions with elements from progressive rock, thrash, and even jazz brought to the table.
"Amoth have made themselves a pretty hefty contender in the scene, and we'll be hearing a lot more about them if there's any justice in the world. If you want something that's retro as hell while also being classy and refined, then The Hour of the Wolf is an album to treasure."
- Mjölnir, The Metal Crypt
"Every song from the top to the end has its own specific atmosphere. For example, one delightful break in the album are songs "Wind Serenade part I" and "Wind Serenade part II". Two instrumental melodies that are a great mark that this band is virtuoso in their job."
- Anđela Milunović, Abaddon Magazine
"I could talk for hours about the specific talents of each band member, but all you really need to know is that they are all expert performers. If there is any justice in the world, this will be the LP that will see the name Amoth whispered reverentially by Metal Heads around the world."
- Chris Hicklin, Metal Temple
Tomi Ihanamäki - guitars
Has started playing guitar somewhere around 1993. Self taught player to about ´98-99 when he started taking guitar lessons. Did some serious practice during his year in music school at Kauhajoki City. Since then has been studying music in various music schools, institutes and conservatories. Also went to the course of music business and music technology at Sibelius Academy. Has played in numerous bands including everything from rock, heavy-metal, blues, jazz, pop to big bands. Is working as a guitar teacher at the moment in the Helsinki metropolitan area and is the main songwriter for Amoth. (photo: Juha Sihtola)
Tommi Niemi - vocals
Has been singing in a multitude of rock and metal bands since the late 90's. Subgenres have varied from the prog metal of Ikinae to atmospheric rock of Naryan and groove metal of Misery Inc. among others, but the guiding principle has always been to convey the story of the lyrics with a range of emotions most suitable to the track. Now faced with a fresh challenge with Amoth's extremely versatile songs. "I can't wait to hit the stages once again and work on both new and old material to find the best possible interpretations for each song. See you soon!" (photo: Juha Sihtola)
Fabio de Oliveira - guitars
Fabio started to play electric guitar at the age of 14. Later developed an interest for Brazilian music and classical guitar, graduating as a Bachelor in Guitar Performance at the School of Music and Fine Arts of Paraná (Brazil, 2007). Moving to Finland in the following year, he continued his studies at Sibelius Academy, acquiring a Master's Degree in Classical Guitar Performance (2012). Throughout his career has worked as a music teacher, session musician, performing as a soloist and with various ensembles. (photo: Juha Sihtola)
Anne Lanttola - bass

The writers and editors across the Aviation Week Network cast a wide net, and we've always been keen to highlight what is great about the aerospace industry. But we don't see everything. With that in mind, nominations for Aviation Week's Laureate awards were opened to our readers several years ago. It's time again for you to weigh in.
Since 1957, our editors have used the Laureate awards to recognize outstanding achievements in aviation, defense and space. Some winners are well known; others are relatively unheralded engineers, inventors or business executives whose innovation, ingenuity and drive have pushed the cutting edge.
This year, Aviation Week expanded the number of Laureate award categories so that we could recognize smaller companies and suppliers in addition to the industry powerhouses. We presented 22 awards in four categories (commercial aviation, defense, space and business aviation), four Grand Laureates (one top winner in each category) and two Lifetime Achievement awards.
Nominating is easy. Go to Laureates.AviationWeek.com to view the categories, and then fill out a form telling us who we should be shining a spotlight on and why. But hurry—nominations close on Oct. 18. Winners will be announced in November, and the awards will be presented on March 14, 2019, at a gala at the National Building Museum in Washington.
Attention photographers: Ever dream of getting an image of yours on the cover of Aviation Week & Space Technology? Here's your chance: Submissions are being accepted through Oct. 22 for Aviation Week's annual photo contest, a favorite feature among our readers. Enter in up to four categories: Commercial Aviation, Defense, General Aviation and Space. Top winners will receive cash prizes, and notable photos will be posted in photo galleries online and in the Dec. 10 print edition of this magazine. And yes, one of them will be on the cover. Perhaps yours?

Turkish policies have confused Iran: official
TEHRAN - Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Asia-Pacific Affairs Ebrahim Rahimpour has said that Iran is unable to understand some policies adopted by Turkey.
"We have make efforts to help Turkey after the coup attempt…, but the fact is that we do not understand some policies of the Turkish government," he told ISNA in an interview published on Saturday.
Rahimpour said, "Some problems may have made Turkey to resort to the Zionist regime of Israel, Saudi Arabia and Trump."
He expressed hope that the Turkish officials would adopt policies based on "realities" and "long term objectives".
"Some of Turkey's actions in Syria have not been in line with Iran's interests; however, we did not create a commotion and waited for Ankara's government to understand that Iran is the best help," the deputy foreign minister remarked.
Rahimpour also said that Iran and Russia are making efforts to involve Turkey in efforts to settle the long-running conflict in Syria.
"We think that we can forget everything about Turkey and have more serious cooperation in settling the crisis in Syria and preventing interference in Iraq's affairs," he noted.
The Foreign Ministry official said that Iran can still trust Turkey given the economic interaction between the two countries.
Elsewhere, Rahimpour said that Iran has never "played the cards of the U.S., Israel and extra-regional powers" to fulfill short term objectives.
Commenting on Iran's relations with Russia, the diplomat the two countries will continue cooperation as long as it benefits the two sides.
"We will interact with the Russians to the extent that they cooperate with us and we will not be willing to cooperate with them when they are not willing to do so," the deputy foreign minister pointed out.
Iran not favoring ECO distracted by peripheral tensions
Iran, Russia, Turkey agree to broker Syria peace talks
Tehran, Ankara agree on humanitarian aid to Syria
Ebrahim Rahimpour

Noah Harmon: Silly illustrations with serious considerations
Illustrator Noah Harmon (aka 'Relax Adult') offers up some big insights behind his little drawings.
Dan Ophaug August 18, 2015
When Format Magazine asked illustrator Noah Harmon about his favourite things, he made a short list: "pens, ice cream, and naps, knowing you have no obligation to wake up and do anything later." Perhaps this love of a midday snooze is why the St. Paul, Minnesota based artist is best known online by his moniker Relax Adult.
Despite practicing his craft in a range of mediums, including sculpting and painting, there is no mistaking where Harmon's priorities lay: "I guess I see it all as drawing no matter what. Even when I'm making a little sculpture I'm thinking about the drawing I would make of it." Other than a brief flirtation with crime fighting, Harmon has been set on his current career path for some time: "The only thing I've really ever wanted to do, other than an early obsession with becoming Spiderman or somehow getting paid to hang out with Spiderman, is make art," he tells us. "I've been drawing for as long as I can remember." It's a passion that led to Harmon attending St. Cloud State University in his home state of Minnesota, from which he received his BFA in 2007. While a university education has a lot to offer, Harmon looks to his youth for much of his inspiration—"It's probably apparent, but I watch a lot of cartoons."
Cartoons have been a part of Harmon's life for as long as he can remember: "My grandmother would take to the flea market when I was a kid, and I'd get 2 VHS cartoon compilations for a quarter." Many of the figures Harmon draws are reminiscent of classic animations such as Silly Symphonies or Max Fleischer's Betty Boop cartoons, capturing all the calamity, humour and playfulness. It's not just cartoons, however, as Harmon tells us, "I just love old television programs, and draw inspiration from some of their basic themes." Toss in his love of the supernatural ("it finds its way into the work more subliminally"), and you have Harmon's charming style that has appeared in numerous shows throughout Minnesota, on products for Stay Home Club and, potentially, on something a little more old fashioned: "I have a partnership opportunity coming up hopefully soon to work with someone that's going to use my designs for country western shirts."
If I think it looks cool or it makes me laugh, that's a finished work.
Any readers already following Harmon on Instagram are familiar with the speed at which he produces new pieces. "My typical day starts pretty early with a cup of coffee and either drawing or writing for between a half hour and an hour. Something usually comes out of this, an idea, or in some cases a finished drawing." The outwardly simple form of Harmon's drawings allows him to quickly cycle through ideas to find something that sticks. "I want to get the idea out as quick as possible, and fuck with it a bit," he tells us, "I don't push anything though, so throughout the day I keep a notepad or paper and sketch out a few ideas usually." Harmon is also never afraid to sacrifice a larger idea for something that works in a simpler form, and has a pretty simple criteria for completion—"If I think it looks cool or it makes me laugh, that's a finished work."
Like many of the old shows and cartoons that inform his aesthetic, Harmon's work perhaps a little more complex than it appears superficially. Where many cartoons by the likes of Ub Iwerks or Harmon favourites such as Little Lulu and Daffy Duck had a dangerous, chaotic energy, so does Harmon's; it frequently makes you laugh, but there is depth to his work. "I'm interested in how simple forms and the economy of line tell a long story in one little image," he tells us. Pairing each image with a snippet of text creates a multifaceted piece of art, with Harmon admitting, "you could take a bunch of different things from the meaning down to the literal word to the pairing of the image."
I'm interested in how simple forms and the economy of line tell a long story in one little image.
It's a dichotomy that Harmon often engages with. Where one drawing might make you laugh out loud, another brings to mind your own anxieties or insecurities. "I still go through a bit of wonder when I think that someone else is connecting with this piece I made." While the reaction might be something other than his intention, the range of emotion people express to his work isn't at all shocking to him: "All art is getting something emotional out there, you can't help it since your hand and your brain are connected." It brings us back to what it really means to relax according to Harmon—"Relax means being able to separate yourself from anything that causes discomfort, to take a moment and really think about what's going on."

International Students' Guide to Studying in the U.S.
by Evan Thompson
Updated August 24, 2022 • 6 min read
Evan Thompson is a Washington-based writer for TBS covering higher education. He has bylines in the Seattle Times, Tacoma News Tribune, Everett Herald, and others from his past life as a newspaper reporter.
In response to the uncertainty about COVID-19's impact on colleges, we answer international students' questions around fall semester.
With borders closed, college classes virtual, and infection rates still high, international students planning to attend U.S. schools are asking themselves: What do I do?
More than a million international students enroll in colleges and universities in the United States every year. They make up 5.5% of the country's higher education population and contribute nearly $41 billion to the economy.
But the number of international students is expected to drop during the 2020-2021 academic year, according to a survey by the Institute of International Education (IIE). Travel restrictions, visa delays, and limited commercial flight options are among the many obstacles facing international students.
While the future is still unclear, we're here to answer the most pressing questions international students in the U.S.A. may be asking.
Can International Students Study in the U.S. if Classes Are Online?
On July 14, the Trump administration dropped its policy that would prevent international students who take virtual-only classes from staying in the U.S. Sources told CNN that the White House rescinded the proposal after politicians, colleges, and universities widely condemned it.
However, U.S. immigration officials issued new guidance on July 24, saying new international students are not allowed to study entirely online in the U.S. New students may enroll in hybrid programs that mix in-person and online courses. The new rule does not apply to international students who were already enrolled in U.S. universities before fall of 2020.
The guidance, announced by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, also states that students will not be at risk of deportation if their institutions switch from an in-person or hybrid format to an online-only mode during the term due to the pandemic.
Will In-Person Colleges Be Open in Fall?
Most colleges and universities have not decided whether or not to open for in-person instruction in the fall. Health officials believe there could be spikes of coronavirus cases if students and faculty return to campus too soon.
Resuming in-person classes depends on several factors: the availability of testing, how well institutions can limit social contact, protective equipment, and the ability to track people who have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
Some universities in states such as Texas, Georgia, and Alabama have tentative plans to return to campus in the fall. Others have committed to a mostly virtual fall semester, while many more have not yet made any firm decisions but are feeling the pressure to reopen.
Will International Students Be Allowed to Enter the U.S.?
Travel obstacles may present a challenge for getting into the United States. The U.S. State Department has suspended routine visa services worldwide, while there are restrictions for non-essential flights in many countries.
Presidential proclamations have currently suspended entry into the U.S. from Brazil, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the European Schengen area, Iran, Brazil, and China.
If you already hold one of these visas, you can legally enter the country, but getting a visa with services suspended will be a challenge.
Will Time Zones Affect Online Classes?
Some colleges have committed to online courses for the fall, but virtual classes could be challenging for international students who live in different time zones. Some universities have warned students that they may not be able to participate, depending on class format and where they live.
Online classes either happen in real time (synchronous learning) or on a flexible schedule determined individually by students (asynchronous learning). William Brustein, vice president for global strategies and international affairs at West Virginia University, said synchronous classes could be a widespread problem for many international students.
"If you live in East Asia, you're talking about a 13-hour time change from the East Coast," he said.
Do International Students Still Have to Take the SAT or ACT?
The SAT and ACT are standardized tests that gauge college readiness. Most colleges and universities require international students to take at least one of the exams for admission.
But the College Board — a nonprofit organization that oversees the SAT — recently announced it wouldn't offer at-home testing due to technological difficulties. The ACT is still planning to offer testing in the fall, either in schools or online.
So, what does this mean for international students? It's hard to say.
Some schools, such as Cornell University and Harvard College, have dropped SAT or ACT requirements because of the coronavirus. Others, including the University of California system, have announced test-optional policies.
Test-optional means students won't need to submit standardized test scores on their applications. Instead, the emphasis will shift to other parts of an applicant's profile.
Many U.S. colleges and universities also require international students to submit scores from English proficiency tests. In the wake of COVID-19, numerous countries have suspended standardized testing for English proficiency tests, such as the TOEFL and IELTS. However, Educational Testing Service (ETS) has expanded the availability of at-home testing worldwide, with the exception of mainland China and Iran.
Many universities are reportedly working one on one with students and showing flexibility with application deadlines, required application materials, enrollment deadlines, and English proficiency testing.
What Financial Aid is Available for International Students?
International students are ineligible for federal student aid in the U.S., but there are other options for financial aid for international students.
International students can ask student advisors to nominate them for aid from the Institute of International Education. IIE has committed $1 million to its emergency student fund. Students who are studying for their associate, bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degrees are eligible to receive up to $2,500.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, Believe in Students' COVID-19 Student Emergency Aid Initiative will distribute $1.1 million to institutions and students affected by the pandemic. Students should also contact their colleges and organizations in their own countries for aid, or consider private relief funds.
Can International Students Get Scholarships?
International student scholarships are available, but students will need to be resourceful and explore every possible opportunity.
International Student has a comprehensive database of grants, scholarships, loan programs, and other information for students around the world. Fastweb is another great resource, offering access to 1.5 million scholarships.
Scholarship competitions are another way to receive funding. They typically award funds to specific groups of people.
The Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship, for example, gives scholarships to graduate students from select developing countries who don't have other sources of funding. Similarly, the PEO International Peace Scholarship Fund provides scholarships for women from other countries who are earning a graduate degree in the United States. Others include:
American Association of University Women
Conacyt (Spanish)
ColFuturo (Spanish)
Foreign Fulbright Student Program
Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program
What's Happening With Student Housing?
Colleges and universities told students to leave campus housing after the coronavirus spread throughout the United States in spring. Many international students had to return to their home countries, find new off-campus accommodations, or petition to remain in residence halls.
Carnegie Mellon University, Vanderbilt University, the University of Illinois, and others offer summer housing for students who are unable to return home due to travel restrictions, financial risk, or living with a graduate family. Many of these schools are still offering summer accommodations, but with a variety of new guidelines and restrictions, so be sure to research your particular school.
If colleges do open campus in the fall, the format for dorm housing may have to change from the traditional roommate model. For instance, Claremont McKenna College in California plans to have students live in single rooms or small group dorms.
Can International Students Work in the U.S.?
International students can work in the U.S. while studying, though there are restrictions. The coronavirus may further limit the number of job opportunities.
International students must have an F-1 and M-1 visa to work on campus and in specified training programs, according to Study in the U.S.A, but they are not allowed to work off-campus during their first academic year.
Graduates students' employment chances may also be affected by the Trump administration. In May, the administration announced plans to potentially suspend a program that gives international students 1-2 years of job training in the U.S. after their education. Optional Practical Training, or OPT, is an incentive for international students because it provides some cushion between school and employment.
The Trump administration argues that suspending the program will help American graduates land jobs in a reeling economy. Critics, however, contend that restrictions on the program could negatively affect the American labor market and reduce revenue for colleges that recruit international students.
Brustein believes it would be a mistake to suspend it. "I think it's just wishful thinking that these international students who get these OPT positions are taking jobs away from Americans," he said. "That's not the case at all."
The coronavirus has led to many obstacles for international students. Much depends on the public health outlook and when it will be safe for you to travel. In the meantime, there are resources available that could help between now and then.

You'll never be equipped to get rid of all of them, but you need to do something, because you don't want your hard work completely wasted. Insects are a dilemma as they can conceal themselves under the soil, in weeds or piles of leaves. One of the first things you need to accomplish is clear away the places where the insects live. Collect and remove old leaves, weeds and decaying stacks of vegetal matter. Excavate over sections of soil and break up any clumps on a frequent basis. This should help eliminate any hiding areas in the soil.
Enjoying a stroll in your garden, expecting enjoying your plants, can be totaly ruined by the discovery that they are suddenly full of holes Pests are commonly the at fault party. Sometimes the destruction may have been carried out by moles, but the usual rascals are birds, worms and slugs, closely followed by snails and caterpillars.
If pests typically are not done away with speedily, your garden will deteriorate rapidly. If they're given time to setup themselves they become very difficult to eradicate. A well-kept garden is a pleasant thing that contributes value to a home.
Dormant spray is something else you should use to restrict plant diseases and insect actions. You apply the spray when the plants are dormant, close to February/March. The instructions must be used exactly to ensure the dormant spray works properly. Another reason to follow the directions is that if used incorrectly it could be lethal for your plants. Just as some insects can be harmful for your garden, there are others that are good, and so try and retain them. Then there are some of those winged irritants, the birds. Because they're so on the move it's very challenging to chase them away, so it's better to try to distract them from your plants by means of a bird feeder. Rather than watch them go after your garden produce, give them bird food in your feeder. Not only can a feeder look nice, but it can also be cheaper over time.
It may not eliminate your whole predicament, but having a dog might help also. For a lot of garden owners their garden pest will be the mole. If your plants are declining, and you see mounds of earth, that could be your problem. moles are small creatures that can certainly be a nuisance. With a length of between five and fourteen inches, moles possess small tails and can be black, brown or occasionally white. It's possible to capture them with traps. You ought to get good results by accurately setting the traps in their tunnels. Smoke bombs triggered nearby the tunnel access and spreading throughout the tunnels will hopefully get the moles.

Common Name: Wintergreen | Scientific Name: Gaultheria Procumbens
Family Name: Ericaceae
Part Used: Distilled oil
In a Word: Topical aspirin
Uses: Musculoskeletal inflammation, rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis, neck pain, whiplash injuries, chronic joint and muscle pain
When you happen unto wintergreen for the first time it's quite an interesting experience. A forest dweller, the little wintergreen plant hugs the ground closely. As you walk over it a distinct smell floats into the air. Some say the plant smells like toothpaste, others say it smells like certain brands of chewing gum. Both are correct. The oil found in this little woodland plant has been extracted for nearly two hundred years to be used both in tooth powders and chewing gum! The smell is familiar but the medicinal uses of this plant have gone by the wayside.
The Native Americans used wintergreen to treat all kinds of musculo-skeletal problems, arthritis among them. They searched the field and forest for plants that could improve a sore neck or twisted up hand. Wintergreen, ground up and poulticed, took the swelling and pain down from a joint or muscle. It could be used internally as a tea to speed the process. To the Native Americans wintergreen was tops when it came to inflammation.
The plant is called wintergreen, by the by, because it is an evergreen plant and holds its leaves year round. The Colonials had their share of aches and pains and quickly learned of this plant from the Native Americans. Soon they too were wrapping arthritic joints in wintergreen poultices to great effect! This colonial domestic medicine impressed the doctors arriving on the scene. Soon it became an official remedy. As technology advanced, pharmacists were able to extract the oil that gave the plant its characteristic smell. Doctors began working with Oil of Wintergreen. They found that whereas just applying wintergreen leaves to a swollen part worked, applying the oil really worked. Pain and inflammation rapidly went away.
Aspirin is a well-known anti-inflammatory and painkiller used in joint and muscle problems. Science has revealed that the key to Winter Green action is linked to the action of Aspirin. Wintergreen oil is comprised of a compound known as methyl salicylate, aspirin is salicylic acid. The two words sound similar because they are allied compounds. In both instances, the compounds inhibit the inflammatory process and the pain transmission process. Research has revealed that methyl salicylate is absorbed through the skin. When applied over sore muscles and joints one experiences the same relief as one would if one took an aspirin. However, as is often the case, wintergreen oil contains other compounds which have a similar activity. When you use wintergreen oil, you are getting a powerful dose of anti-inflammatory medication! The best part is that it is easier on the stomach than many of the drugs used to treat joint and muscle inflammation!
Practitioners' Advice
Preparations containing 10-60 Oil of Wintergreen are highly effective when it comes to sore muscles and joints. It seems the longer you use them, the more they work.. Wintergreen products can be used in chronic joint and muscle problems as in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. They can also be used in acute situations, as in when you over do it in the garden and end up laid up in bed for week with low back pain. In both instances, wintergreen rubs will make a difference. Research has revealed that exercise and heat increase the amount of methyl salicylate which is absorbed into the body. Too much so. For this reason it these preparations should not be applied before, during, or immediately following exercise and should not be applied while a heat pad is being used! Along these lines, because they are absorbed and act like aspirin, people sensitive to aspirin should forego using oil of wintergreen. As an example, people using blood thinners and those with bleeding disorders.
History:Native Americans used it to treat musculo-skeletal problems
Science: Methyl salicylate compound inhibits the inflammatory process and the pain transmission process
Practitioners' opinion: Highly effective when it comes to sore muscles and joints
Part Used: Leaves or whole plant
Chemical Constituents: Significant phytochemicals include arbutin, ericolin, gallic acid, gaultheric acid, gaultherin, methyl salicylate, tannic acid, and tannin. (12)
A Native American plant, Gaultheria procumbens was a used by the Chippewa, Iroquois, Menomini, Ojibwe, Potawatami, Seneca, and Tete de Boule tribes as both a food and a medicine. Medicinally, it was used to increase strength, well being, to remedy rheumatism, and to break fevers. The pleasing aromatic plant was quickly taken up by the colonials and from the earliest day factored into domestic medicine. Raffinesque reported it to be stimulant, restorative, and cordial and that it was used to restore strength, promote menstruation and lactation, and to treat debility, asthma, and the second stage of diarrhoea (dysentery). (10)
The drug was mentioned in the Secondary List of the 1820 USP and remained in that position until 1830 when it became official in the New York and Philadelphia editions. It was an official remedy until 1890. In 1890 the drug defined as Gaultheria procumbens went from crude drug to Oil of Gaultheria. In 1910 the name "Gaultheria" was dropped entirely from the USP and was replaced by Methyl Salicylate.
Significantly, Gaultheria procumbens was included in a number of panacea products aimed at remedying chronic disease and specifically syphilis. The most famous was Swaim's Panacea. For a time, the secret ingredient, Gaultheria, remained secret. However, in 1843 the recipe was revealed and Gaultheria became more widely used in other panacea products. When chronic disease threatened constitutional collapse, the drug was used. (10)
Eclectic Uses (1–10)
Stimulant, aromatic, astringent, diuretic, tonic, emmenagogue, galactagogue, carminative, anaphrodisiac, alterative, eradicates the diatheses associated with cancerous cachexia.
"Gaultheria acts especially upon the bladder, prostate, and urethra, quieting irritation and allaying inflammation. It has some effect as an anaphrodisiac for both sexes. It is a valuable remedy in dysuria, acute and chronic, muscular and articular rheumatism, the early stage of acute nephritis, and it is asserted to have arrested tubal nephritis even when blood and tube casts were present. It is useful in sciatica, migraine, non-paroxysmal asthma, asthmatic bronchitis, gonorrhoeal rheumatism, and in haemorrhoids due to congestion of the portal and pelvic circulation." (9)
Debility, scrofula, scrofulous swellings, cancerous affections, cachectic states of the system, cancerous cachexia, chronic mucous discharges, tuberculosis, diphtheria, rheumatism, gonorrhoeal rheumatism.
Chronic diarrhoea, flatulent colic of infants, diphtheria, haemorrhoids from congestion of pelvic circulation, haemorrhoids with very painful external tumours of a dark purple colour, with constipation, hepatic congestion, congestion of the glandular structures of the gastrointestinal tract, portal circulation problems.
Genito-urinary
Dysuria, affections of the bladder, prostate, urethra, irritation and inflammation of the urinary apparatus, spermatorrhea, prolapsed uteri, renal, vesical, and urethral irritation, early stages of all inflammatory conditions of the kidneys, tubule nephritis, gonorrhoea.
Ovarian conditions inducing too frequent menstruation with congestion of the pelvic circulation, enlargement of the uterus, swollen, engorged cervix, sexual excitement in men or women, spermatorrhea without impotence.
Muscle affections, articular and muscular rheumatism, irregular forms of rheumatism, chronic forms of rheumatism, acute articular rheumatism, gonorrhoeal rheumatism (taken internally and applied externally), sciatica, lumbago, chorea.
Neuralgia of the fifth cerebral nerve, tic doloreux, neuralgia, migraine, chorea.
Asthmatic breathing of a non-paroxysmal character, asthmatic cough, cough characterised by constriction or tightness at the sternal notch, cough of asthmatic bronchitis, dry, harsh, persistent bronchial or phthisical cough.
Old ulcers (internally and externally), wounds.
The drug was used to raise resistance to diphtheria, gonorrhoea, leucorrhea, renal, vesical and urethral inflammation/disease, tuberculosis, diabetes, muscular affections, articular and muscular rheumatism, asthma, and cancerous affections.
The drug was used when resistance failed and State of Exhaustion set in. Signs of State of Exhaustion treated by this drug included cachexia, debility, inflamed joints, phthisis, chronic mucous discharge, hepatic congestion, kidney failure, membrane permeability abnormalities, temperature abnormalities, and digestive abnormalities.
From Selye's perspective, the drug was used to augment the GAS, which suggests it increases adaptation energy. Evidence to this effect includes the following. Gaultheria was used to increase resistance to chronic infection and autoimmune disease. When resistance failed and State of Exhaustion set it, it was used. In example, the drug was used when gonorrhoea progressed to gonorrhoeal rheumatism, when cancer gave way to cancerous cachexia, or when chronic urinary tract inflammation to kidney failure. When catabolism replaced normal metabolism, and the body was wasting away, the drug was used. It was used to remedy geriatric complaints including impotence, spermatorrhea, and old ulcers. Lastly, it was used to stimulate healing in old and new wounds.
The drug is reported to be innocuous both in Eclectic and contemporary literature. (1–12)
Clinically, the drug was used to increase resistance to acute and chronic infections, autoimmune disease (rheumatism and Type I diabetes), and cancer. (1–10)
Experimentally, compounds found in the drug have been shown to increase resistance to bacterial infection (Strep, mycoplasma), ascarides, fungus (Candida), free radical damage, cancer, mutagenesis, and fatigue. (12)
Clinically the drug was used to correct the physiological abnormalities associated with State of Exhaustion including mucous membrane abnormalities, joint abnormalities, digestive abnormalities, and circulatory perversions. It was used to normalise the healing process in wounds and old sores. (1–10)
Experimentally, compounds found in the drug have been shown to correct abnormalities in insulin levels, urine production, inflammation, allergies, fever, joint inflammation, prostaglandin levels, gland secretion, and bile production. (12)
The drug exhibits properties consistent with Brekhman's definition of an adaptogen. It is innocuous, it raises resistance to an assortment of biological threats, and it normalises function.
It might appear that Gaultheria was used to remedy inflammatory conditions (i.e. rheumatoid arthritis) because it is rich in the anti-inflammatory substance methyl salicylate. However, that would be an inaccurate assessment of the situation. Upon closer inspection, the Eclectics used Gaultheria procumbens when resistance failed and State of Exhaustion set in. One of the symptoms of constitutional collapse is joint inflammation. Though the Eclectics did use Gaultheria to treat joint inflammation, they did so when it was a part of a bigger problem.
If one looks at the Eclectic uses of this drug, with Selye's work in mind, the following becomes apparent. The drug was used to treat State of Exhaustion . When the usual signs and symptoms of State of Exhaustion displayed themselves (temperature abnormalities, catabolism verging on wasting, membrane permeability abnormalities, mucous membrane and skin abnormalities, joint and urinary tract abnormalities, etc.) the drug was used.
The drug may be of use when resistance to autoimmune disease can no longer be maintained and State of Exhaustion sets in. Examples of this would be rheumatoid arthritis developing systemic manifestations, psoriasis becoming psoriatic arthropathy, and urinary tract infections progressing to Reiter's Syndrome.
• Gaultheria procumbens and its effects on the GAS. The drug should be tested out in the animal model to determine its specific effects on the GAS.
• Gaultheria procumbens and endurance. Both the Native Americans and early colonials used the drug to increase stamina and endurance. Compounds in the drug have been shown to have an anti-fatigue effect. The drugs' ability to raise resistance to fatigue should
be examined.
• Gaultheria procumbens and Reiter's syndrome. The drug was used to raise resistance to autoimmune disease processes, chronic urinary tract infections, and chronic urinary tract infections progressing to joint abnormalities. Experimentally it has been shown to correct abnormal inflammation and address urinary tract infections. The drug should be reviewed for its ability to raise resistance to Reiter's syndrome.
• Gaultheria procumbens and autoimmune disease. The drug was used to increase resistance to autoimmune diseases. It has been shown to have an immune modulator effect. Its ability to increase resistance to these diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, ulcerative colitis, and kidney disease, etc.) should be examined.
The drug is abundant in the wild and is readily grown.

1854: JOHN KING – GAULTHERIA PROCUMBENS – WINTERGREEN
Properties and Uses – Wintergreen possesses stimulant, aromatic, and astringent properties. It is used in infusion in chronic diarrhea, as a diuretic in dysury, as an emmenagogue, as a stimulant in cases of debility, and is said to increase the secretion of milk, but this is doubtful. Its chief use is to flavor syrups, mixtures, etc. for which purpose the oil, or its tincture is generally employed. The oil allays the pain of carious teeth, and large doses of it admintered internally have caused death by producing gastric inflammation; the essence of wintergreen is a carminative, and is sometimes used in the flatulent colic of infants. An infusion of the leaves or whole plant, may be drank freely.
Preparation:Prepare a tincture form the fresh plant, in the proportion of 3/5viij. to alcohol 98% Oj.Dose from gtts.ij to gtts.x.
In this form and in these doses, the gaultheria exerts a special influence upon the bladder, prostrate and urethra, allaying irritation and inflammation. It amy also be employed in dysuria. Probably one of its most important uses is, as an anaphrodisiac, exerting a direct and quite certain influence upon the reproductive organs of both male and female. For this purpose it is employed in some cases of spermatorrhea. It will not do, however, to mistake the case, and use it where the veneral function is already impaired.
1883: Scudder:(alterative)
The Gaultheria Hispidula, or Creeping Wintergreen, is said to be an article of much value as an alterative in scrofula, cancerous affections and cachectic states of the system.
In cancerous cachexia, some have asserted it was capable of entirely eradicating the diathesis when it exists; and even when scirrhous tumors are formed, it is said to disperse them; and it is said to be equally valuable in scrofula and scrofulous swellings. In cases of old ulcers, it has been found valuable both as an internal and external agent, and the same has been said of it in prolapsus uteri; while the infusion is taken freely, it is at the same time employed as an inuction per vagina. It is used in the form of an infusion, which may be taken very freely.
1898: Webster (Urinary System)
Wintergreen possesses marked properties fitting it for affections of the urinary apparatus. It relieves renal as well as vesical and urethral irritation , and is useful in the early stages of all inflammatory conditions of the kidneys. It has arrested tubal nephritis, when casts and blood corpuscles were discernible in the urine.
Form for administration: a decoction of the fresh plant or a solution of the oil in alcohol, the essence.
Dose: of the decoction, a wineglassful; of the essence, from the fraction of a drop to ten drops.
1898; Webster; (Muscles) – Gualtheria Procambens
Wintergreen has become a prominent remedy for muscular affections within late years. The best salicylic acid is prepared from wintergreen, and the oil of wintergreen has been highly extolled as a remedy for articular rheumatism.
From my own experience with this remedy I am inclined to consider it far inferior to some of our indigenous antirheumatics, as cimicifuga, caulophyllum, etc.,but am still willing to ascribe to it some power in this direction. It may do for a trial remedy after more accredited ones have failed. Its recommendation comes from quarters where little is known of the value of our old Eclectic materia medica, viz., old-school sources.
Form for Administration – The essence of wintergreen.
Dose – From one to fifteen drops.
1898: Felter and Lloyd: GAULTHERIA – WINTERGREEN
Action, Medical Uses, and Dosage – Wintergreen possesses stimulant, aromatic, and astringent properties. It is used in infusion as an astringent in chronic mucous discharges, as a diuretic in dysuria, as an emmenagogue, as a stimulant in cases of debility, and is said to augment the flow from the lactiferous vessels of nursing women, but this is doubtful. It is also recommended as a valuable remedy for articular and muscular rheumatism. The infusion and the essence both relieve irritation of the urethra and bladder, and are adapted to the incipient stages of renal inflammation. Tubal nephritis is alleged to have been arrested by it even when examination has revealed in the urine the presence of blood corpuscles and tube casts (Webster). Scudder recommends it in spermatorrhoea with increased sexual excitement, and as a sedative in irritation and inflammation of the urethra, prostate gland and bladder. The volatile oil (see Oleum Gaultheriae), or its tincture, is used to render syrups and other preparations more agreeable. The oil allays the pain of carious teeth, and large doses of it administered internally have caused death by producing inflammation of the stomach; the essence of winter-green is a carminative, and is sometimes used in the flatulent colic of infants. An infusion of the leaves or whole plant (3j to water Oj) may be drunk freely. Dose of essence, 1 to 30 drops; of specific gaultheria, 1 to 20 drops.
Specific Indications and Uses -Cystic and prostatic irritation, undue sexual excitement, renal inflammation (early stage).
1901: Locke
This agent is employed chiefly for its effects upon the genito-urinary tract, in which it relieves irritation and incipient inflammation, and restrains chronic mucous discharges,and in rheumatic affections. The oil is especially valuable in rheumatism of the type benefited by salicylic acid.
Irregular forms of rheumatism. The oil of gaultheria has been extensively used in rheumatism. it is believed to posses all the valuable properties of salicylic acid. It has a more agreeable taste, and the unpleasant effects of overdosing are no greater. It is less depressing, and relapses under its use are less frequent. In chronic and irregular forms of rheumatism it is an efficient palliative.fluid extract, 30-60 drops, specific medicine 5-30 drops, oil 2-6 drops.
Irritation or inflammation of the bladder, prostate and urethra; excitement of the sexual organs from abnormal conditions of the reproductive organs, and not from the mind; irregular forms of rheumatism.
1919: Ellingwood
Synonym – Wintergreen.
Constituents – Volatile oil, tannin, gallic acid, arbutin, urson, ericolin, sugar, gum.
Oil of Gaultheria (Oleum Gaultheriae) – This oil is prepared by distilling wintergreen leaves while fresh with water or steam. It is transparent and colorless when recent, but soon becomes reddish from exposure. It has an aromatic odor and a strong, spicy, agreeable taste. Pure oil of wintergreen contains about 90 per cent of methylsalicylic acid. The dose of the oil is five or ten drops, repeated every two or three hours, till some effect is produced, favourable or otherwise. If ringing in the ears is caused by the medicine, it should be discontinued or repeated in smaller doses when this effect has passed off. The remedy in full doses is apt to cause dangerous depression in debilitated constitutions.
Salicylic acid, made from oil of wintergreen, is the only preparation of the acid suitable for internal use.
A pure salicylate of soda is made from the salicylic acid of oil of wintergreen, which is preferred in the treatment of acute articular rheumatism; while in neuralgia of the fifth cerebral nerve, tic douloureux, and gonorrhoeal rheumatism, the oil of wintergreen, in as large doses as can be borne, is the better treatment. In other cases, a tincture of the fresh plant should be employed.
It may be employed as a spray to the throat in diphtheria; and suitably diluted, as dressing for wounds; while it may be used internally for the general purposes of an antiseptic.
Preparations – Specific Gaultheria. Dose, from five to thirty minims.
Specific Symptomatology – The agent is given successfully in the treatment of hemorrhoids from congestion of the pelvic circulation, hemorrhoids with very painful external tumors, of a dark-purple color, with constipation, with pain across the sacrum, and congestion of the portal circulation.
Therapy -It is of benefit in neuralgia, tic douloureux, gonorrhoeal rheumatism, inflammation of the bladder, irritation of the prostate gland, dysuria, sexual excitement in male or female, spermatorrhoea without impotency, acute articular rheumatism, migraine, sciatica, diabetes, diphtheria, chronic mucous discharges and toothache (locally). A liniment of the oil is useful in allaying the pain of rheumatism.
Asthmatic breathing of a non-paroxysmal character is relieved by this remedy, as is asthmatic cough, and cough characterized by constrictuion or tightness at the spura-sternal notch. In the cough of asthmatic bronchitis, or in dry, harsh, persistent bronchial or phthisical cough, this agent acts nicely.
It is a serviceable remedy in hepatic congestion, and in congestion of the glandular structures of the entire gastro-intestinal tract. Its influence over the portal circulation is most pronounced.
In ovarian conditions inducing too frequent menstruation, with congestion of the pelvic circulation, in addition to the conditions above named, as in enlargement of the uterus, with a swollen, engorged condition of the cervix, it is directly useful.
The oil is now freely used externally in the treatment of articular rheumatism and also in chorea with excellent results. In the latter disorder it is applied, if necessary, over the upper and lower limbs, alternately, and over the spine. It may be given internally at the same time. The application may be confined with oiled silk.
An ointment made of ichthyol and the oil of gaultheria in a proper vehicle, rubbed together thoroughly, makes an excellent application to the joints in acute, and in gonorrheal rheumatism. It acts equally well on the original disease. Six drops of the oil is given three times a day, and this will cure many cases. If given in conjunction with gelsemium and macrotys in the first stages, it will probably shorten or even abort the disease.
1911: LLOYD: GAULTHERIA
Gaultheria (leaves). Mentioned in Secondary List of 1820, same in 1828. Official in 1830, both New York and Philadelphia editions, and in all later editions until 1890, when Gaultheria Leaves were dropped, and Oil of Gaultheria, (official in all editions, from 1820 on), remained alone. In 1910 the name "Gaultheria" was dropped, being replaced by "Methyl Salicylate."
The first record of the therapeutical use of oil of gaultheria, as is often the case with valuable medicines, is to be found in empirical medicine. A proprietary remedy, very popular about the beginning of this century under the name "Panacea of Swaim," or "Swaim's Panacea," introduced this drug.
Gaultheria gave added impetus to "Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla," which became so popular as to force itself on the attention of the profession. The Sarsaparilla Compound of the name of "Sirup Rob Anti-Syphilitica" was closely associated with Swaim's Panacea, and Ellis, 1843, after giving the formula of "Sirup Rob Antisyphilitica" in his Formulary, p. 67, says: "The above preparation has been asserted, by the New York Medical Society, to be nearly identical with the noted Panacea of Swaim."
That oil of gaultheria was a constituent of Swaim's remedy, and that it was brought into conspicuity therein, may also be seen from the analysis of Swaim's Panacea (by Chilton), recorded in the Am. Jour. Med. Sciences, 1829, p. 542. The following reprint from an anonymous writer in the American Journal of Pharmacy, 1831, establishes the subject more clearly in that it gives a very fair description of oil of gaultheria, as well as making a statement to the effect that it is the same as sweet birch oil, and showing further that many different plants yield the same oil:
"Oil of Gaultheria procumbens: – This is the heaviest oil of which we have any knowledge, for I have found it to be 1.17. This furnishes us with an easy mode of testing its purity. The wonderful success of Swaim's Panacea has brought this oil into great vogue with all venders of Catholicons, Panaceas, and Syrups of Sarsaparilla.
"It appears to be a vegetable principel secreted in plants very widely separated by their natural affinities. The Betula lenta or Sweet Birch secretes it in its bark; the Polygala paucifolia in its roots; the Spiroea Ulmaria, the Spiroea lobata and the Gaultheria hispidula in their roots and stalks."
But that oil of wintergreen was used somewhat in domestic medicine about that date, and also by Dr. Wooster Beach, the forerunner of Eclectic medicine, is evidenced, for Dr. Beach (49) in his American Practice of Medicine, Vol. III (1833), concerning Gaultheria ("Gaulthera") repens, states that "The oil relieves the toothache."
Antedating this paper, the reviewer has not succeeded in finding any reference whatever to oil of gaultheria being used in medicine, although the plants that contain it were generally recognized in pharmacy, the oil being distilled by primitive methods and known to druggists. Thus, as showing that even if used at all, it could not have been important, reference needs only be made to a few of the many authorities who would not have overlooked it, had it been thus employed. These are:
Amoenitates Academicae III, p. 14, 1787.
"Gaultheria, Kalm. (385) (Gen. 487). – Uses foliorum in infuso, loca Theae. Dixit plantam Cl. Kalmius a D. D. Gaulthier, Medico Canadensi, Botanico eximio." No reference to the oil.
Benj. Smith Barton. Collections (43.) Phila. 1798. p. 19.
"The Gaultheria procumbens, which we call Mountain Tea, is spread very extensively over the more barren, mountainous part of the United Stats," etc. Does not mention the oil.
Pharmacopeia of the Mass. Medical Society (503) Boston , 1808
No mentioned of the oil or plant.
W.P.C. Barton, Mat. Med. I, p. 171, 1817. (43a).
Although he describes the medicinal virtues of Gaultheria in detail, he does not mentioned the oil. However, as showing that oil of gaultheria was distilled preceding 1818, I will cite
Bigelow, Amer. Med. Botany (69), II, p. 28. Boston , 1818.
Pyrola umbellata (p. 15) is berein called Wintergreen.
Gaultheria procumbens (Partridge Berry): – "The aromatic flavor of the Partridge berry, which can not easily be mistaken by those who have once tasted it, may be recognized in a variety of other plants whose botanical habits are very dissimilar.
"It exists very exactly in some of the other species of the same genus, particularly in Gaultheria hispidula, also in Spiroea Ulmaria and the root of Spiroea lobata. It is particularly distinct in the bark of sweet birch, Betula lenta, one of our most useful and interesting trees.
"This taste and odor reside in a volatile oil, which is easily separated by distillation. The essential oil of Gaultheria, which is often kept in our druggists' shops, is of a pale or greenish-white color, and perfectly transparent. It is one of the heaviest of the volatile oils, and sinks rapidly in water, if a sufficient quantity be added to overcome the repulsion of the two heterogeneous fluids. Its taste is aromatic, sweet, and highly pungent.
"The oil appears to contain the chief medicinal virtue of the plant, since I know of no case in which the leaves, deprived of their aroma, have been employed for any purpose. They are nevertheless considerably astringent, etc.
"The leaves, the essence, and the oil of this plant are kept for use in the apothecaries' shops.
"The oil, though somewhat less pungent than those of peppermint and origanum, is employed for the same purposes," etc.
In this connection, as indicating that the oil was unimportant, perhaps simply an article of curiosity to pharmacists, it may be pointed out that the American Dispensatory of J. R. Coxe, 1825, mentions oil of gaultheria, but does not say anything with regard to its value or use in medicine.
The edition of 1818 does nto mention the plant or oil at all.
In studying the pharmacopeial record of gaultheria oil, in connection with its materia medica and dispensatory history, the fact becomes apparent that: oil of gaultheria was made ina primitive way by country people (as is still largely the case), about the beginning of this century. Photographs of the crude still used in the distillation of the oil of birch have been presented by Dr. Charles G. Merrell to the Lloyd Library.
Oil of gaultheria was introduced into the list of known essential oil-bearing plants of America in the first (1820) Pharmacopeia, but was not described. Following this, such works as the Dispensatories and American Materia Medicas gave the oil a complimentary position, but it remained of no importance until brought forward by the analysis of Swaim's Panacea. Not until long after 1820 did any European Dispensatory or Pharmacopeia give it position.
SUMMARY – Oil of gaultheria was distilled for druggists previous to 1820, but no public description of the apparatus or method was printed.
The Pharmacopeia of the United States , 1820, gave the first authoritative process of making it.
It was prominently introduced to the profession by the New York Medical Society, 1827, under whose auspices the oil was established, as a characteristic constituent of Swaim's Panacea, the report being published in 1829.
We know of no pharmacopeial or authoritative direction for making oil of gaultheria from any source whatever which precedes the first (1820) Pharmacopeia of the United States , and have discovered no reference to its being made from gaultheria or sweet birch preceding Bigelow, 1818.
Thus it is evident that although the plant gaultheria has the advantage concerning conspicuity of name, the same date of introduction and same reference, (Bigelow), must be ascribed to both oil of gaultheria and oil of birch.
SWAIM'S PANACEA. -The important fact elucidated by the foregoing history of oil of gaultheria, to-wit, that it first received recognition in this once popular remedy, leads to a few words concerning this compound. In the beginning of the past century, a French proprietary remedy, "Rob de Laffecteur," was very popular throughout France and her colonies. It was invented by a French apothecary Boiveau, who affixed to it the name of Laffecteur to make it popular. In 1811 certain New York physicians used this "Rob de Laffecteur" with satisfaction, and Dr. McNevin, who obtained the formula from a French chemist, M. Allion, made its composition public.
Mr Swaim, a bookbinder, was treated by Dr. A. L. Quackinboss and experienced great benefit from the remedy. Procuring the formula from Dr. Quackinboss, his physician, he modified it considerably, an dput the mixture on the market under the name "Swaim's Panacea." This became very popular, and at last attracted the attention of the medical profession. By the analysis of Mr. Chilton, 1829, under the auspices of the New York Medical Society, it was positively shown that Swaim had replaced the sassafras of Quackinboss' formula by wintergreen oil, and had also introduced corrosive sublimate into the mixture.
Persons interested in this formula and subject will find detail reports as follows:
American Journal of Pharmacy, 1827, p. 123, (17b).
American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1829, 4, p. 530, (17a), and 5, p. 542, (17a).

Buhrman House
Home Buhrman House
History of the Buhrman House
Lady Geneva Bed & Breakfast is located in the historic G.L. and Florence Buhrman House, named after the original owners. Located at 15 Geneva St. within the historic Geneva-Minnesota Historic District in Medford, Oregon.
The Buhrman House was built in 1914 in the Craftsman style, although some records indicate the land was purchased in 1910. One of the last of the structures to be built along the east-facing side of Geneva Street, the G.L. Burhrman House was under construction in 1914 when tax rolls show an assessment for the property at $80.00 with the notation, "Foundation only."
A two-story wood frame structure, the Buhrman House is similar in exterior appearance to the Edward and Margaret Davis House although its detailing and surface treatment is far more elaborate. Exterior siding is deco-cut wood shingles laid in a staggered arrangement with delicate sawn work at the gable ends creating a design in what is occasionally called the "chalet-style" variant of the Craftsman period. Windows are 4/1 casement with some diamond pattern leaded panels also present. The massive front entry door, nearly 48″ wide adds to the design. An original rear screened porch and matching gable roof garage are located to the rear.
The Florence Buhrman Years
The original owner of the property was Millard D. Olds, owner of the Owens-Olds Lumber Company, predecessor of what is today the MEDCO Corporation, a large-scale timber and plywood mill with operations in the Rogue Valley as well as Ireland and elsewhere. Olds, of Michigan, built the home for his daughter, Florence Olds, as a wedding gift. She married G.L. Buhrman who worked at the family mill. City directories indicate the family had left the area by 1930, after which the house was apparently rented but they didn't sell the house until the passing of Millard Olds in 1945.
During the 1940s Fritz and Ethel Nissan lived in the house and operated a health clinic on the second floor called Nissan's Institute of Health.
The Ann Van Valzah Years
In 1945, Caryl and Ann Gorrie Van Valzah, long time residents, bought the property and lived here until 1968 with their three daughters. Ann enjoyed gathering with friends and her yearbook quote "as happy as the day is long" carried through during her time at Lady Geneva where she hosted many happy social events including her daughter Shannon's wedding rehearsal supper and wedding after party for out of town guests and relatives. She too enjoyed travel, flying to Scotland via Pan American Airlines in 1956.
The Van Valzah's sold the house to Erma and Harold Skidmore in 1968.
The Erma Skidmore Years
Erma and Harold Skidmore owned a picture gallery just minutes away on Main Street. Their frame shop was located in the basement of the home where today still remain many of their tools and supplies. Their framing work table is now proudly displayed in our rear patio. When Harold passed away in 1988, Erma Skidmore decided she would do a few things to the house to perk herself up. She built a new garage and remodeled the kitchen. The sleeping porches were enclosed with windows and she considered painting the original birdseye maple wood panels. She decided to sell the house before she was able to start that project. Thank goodness for that! The home still preserves the original color.
Erma and Harold Skidmores' trust sold the house in 2003 to Constance Skinner and Michael Sidon.
The Constance Skinner Sidon Years
"Connie" and her husband George Michael Sidon lived in the home with their four daughters from 2003 to 2017. She enjoyed entertaining and throwing lavish theme parties in the home including fundraisers for the American Cancer Society. Connie says that the house was very happy during this time.
She was responsible for many of the upgrades to the home including a complete $30K renovation of the kitchen and upstairs shared bathroom to bring these rooms to their original historic look. She believed the house was a happy home and agreed to sell when she confirmed Gloria and Cecil would be taking great care of Lady Geneva. Furthermore, Gloria felt it was a sign she was meant to purchase the home when she learned Connie and Michael own the Irish Pub "Four Daughters" located in Historic Downtown Medford as Gloria is one of four daughters.
The Gloria Alice Thomas de Haas Years
Gloria Alice Thomas and her husband Cecil de Haas purchased the Buhrman House on July 5, 2017. At the time they were living in Providenciales, Turks & Caicos where Gloria was General Manager of a beautiful resort on famous Grace Bay Beach. As an Oregon native, she always longed to return to Oregon someday. Her and Cecil, also a hotelier, had often talked about opening a Bed & Breakfast. When they saw the Buhrman House they knew it was the right time to make that dream come true.
When they became the proud owners and caretakers of Lady Geneva, Constance wrote them a lovely letter which included a quote from John Ruskin, a philosopher who lived and spoke at the beginning of the Arts and Crafts movement. The quote spoke to them and identified their appreciation of the history of the Buhrman House perfectly.
Mr. Ruskin defined the meaning of stewardship:
"Old buildings are not ours. They belong, partly to the generations of mankind who are to follow us, but the dead still have their rights to them. That which they labored for…. We have no right to obliterate". "What we ourselves have built, we are at liberty to throw down. But, what other men gave their strength, and wealth, and life to accomplish, their right over it does not pass away with their death."
When Constance handed Gloria the keys as she left she said: "I know this is your house now but it will always be my house." Gloria says "I understand what she means now that we have spent the past months giving the home the perfect touches to help it shine."
Constance referred to the house as a "she" and this instantly gave Gloria the idea of the house being a Lady, and the name Lady Geneva was born. Gloria's desire to preserve the history of the home led to the naming of each guest room in honor of each of the ladies who have owned the home in its long history since 1914.
The G.L. and Florence Olds Buhrman House remains substantially as built and accurately relates its original construction, use of materials and appearance. Located at the visible entrance to the district from East Main, the house is a prominent landmark locally and is a highly significant visual element within the Geneva-Minnesota District.

It was okay. I mainly watched it because Manon Azem is in it.
Green Book - it was excellent and a real eye opener. Hard to imagine we treated people like that in those days. Made me feel a bit ignorant and want to learn more about the segregation of African Americans.

Finding Aid - Contains Digitized Material
Walsh, Benjamin Dann, 1808-1869
Benjamin Dann Walsh Field Notebooks, 1860-1869
Benjamin Dann Walsh Field Notebooks
0.25 cu. ft. (1 half document box)
This collection consists of two field notebooks recording Walsh's observations of insect behavior and development in the vicinity of his home, Rock Island, Illinois. They also contain some clues to Walsh's reading habits and correspondents, as well as sketches and clippings from newspapers. The notebooks contain meticulous detail and show an evident interest in questions of economic entomology. The last pages of volume two contain an account of the founding of the Rock Island County branch of the Kansas Settlers Society of Chicago, June 12-25, 1856; Walsh was an officer and member of the Executive Committee of this body.
Benjamin Dann Walsh (1808-1869) was born in Great Britain and educated at Oxford. Prepared for the Church, he instead became a writer and, after emigrating to the United States, a farmer, lumber dealer, and entomologist. Walsh became state entomologist of Illinois in 1867 and, with Charles Valentine Riley, founded the American Entomologist in 1868, a year before his death.

At one time, Bingley had four cinemas: Gem Picture House, Hippodrome, Co-op Hall and the Myrtle cinema. The latter was the most recent and perhaps the best remembered. It was built in 1921 on the site of the ancient Hoyle Croft – a grass-covered square overlooked by the backs of houses in Chapel Lane and Main Street. The Myrtle closed its doors to the cinema-going public in the late 1960s. It's now this pub.

Like our ancestors, we have learned how to cook with fire, and it is pretty freaking delicious. My husband and I have a love for all things BBQ, so we are going to teach you how to smoke, grill, eat, and repeat paleo-friendly foods.
Michelle is an avid weight lifter, fluent in sarcasm, and tends to be a total control freak about what is being cooked in her kitchen. Before this blog I never measured a single ingredient, or paid attention to what I was cooking, I just had that talent for putting food together in combinations that taste incredible. Alas, now I must measure so I can share my genius with all of you.
Derek is into functional fitness and of course the sea of Webber grills that is in our back yard. He handles most of the grunt work when it comes to Qing, Mostly you will just read about me making fun of my darling husband, but you will hear from him occasionally, writing guest posts when he is really proud of his meat.
Our kids, Kirk and Sonya are two rottweiler puppies and a tiger colored cat named Lyra whom they torment endlessly in our little Virginia home. If you are a regular reader than you might already be familiar with the little beasts.
We love the magic we create in our backyard, and hopefully you do too!
I love the idea and am looking forward to more posts from you guys. Just a heads up, unless it's meant to be misspelled on your header it should be recommend.
