Last year was my first covering the Rockford Sharefest Schools Project.

Thousands of volunteers from across the community of all skill levels descended on Jefferson High School for nine days to scrape, clean, paint, sweep, replace flooring, install ceiling tiles, haul debris. The results were astounding. Check out these before and after photos of the library at Jefferson.

I interviewed the man in charge of all things Sharefest, Creig Day of Heartland Community Church, a few weeks before the Jefferson renovation got underway. He told me how excited he got every year for Sharefest because of its ability to touch people’s hearts. He wasn’t kidding.

I spoke to two Jefferson students who enjoyed their first day of volunteering so much that they came back the remaining eight days, and a team of machinists and engineers who took on the school's manufacturing/shop wing.

I spoke with people who were down on their luck - out of work, struggling even – but they understood the power of giving back. One man was there every night. He had received a Habitat for Humanity home several years ago and saw Sharefest as a way to say thank you to the community that lifted him up when he was down.

Rockford Sharefest will host a press conference at 1 p.m. Tuesday at Roosevelt High School, one of this year’s destinations. There will be more.

Sharefest focused all on its efforts at Jefferson last year, but that wasn’t always the case. In past years - this is the eighth - volunteers had done multiple, smaller schools in a single year. Sharefest branched out in that time, too, include other spin-off projects such as the 2010 Million Meals for Haiti and ongoing efforts to refurbish an emergency shelter home for teenage mothers in Rockford.

There will be more branching out this year, as well, Day promised when I spoke with him earlier this week, and an exciting new first for Sharefest that is sure to touch many more hearts.

Roosevelt Community Education Center, home of the Rockford School District’s alternative high school program, has roughly 1,500 students ages 16 to 21. The second-chance school serves students who have dropped out of one of the district’s high schools but are looking to complete their high school education and get a diploma.

Sharefest runs from June 20 to June 28 this year. There will be three volunteer shifts each day: 8 a.m. to noon, 1 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. Anyone in the community who wants to help out is encouraged to come and lend a hand.

Volunteer sign-up will begin following Tuesday’s announcement. The page is ready and waiting for you at

Check Tuesday afternoon for more details on Sharefest’s efforts for 2014.

FREEPORT — The annual Mini Cubs-Mini Cardinals game lets kids have some fun at Little Cubs Field and brings visitors to the city.

The matchup began in 2008. The teams wear the exact same uniforms as their professional counterparts.

The Mini Cardinals hail from Black Earth, Wisconsin. The 8-year-olds face off once on the Mini Cardinals’ home field and once at Little Cubs Field each summer.

“This is just a fun game. We replicate what the real Cubs and Cardinals are doing on the field each year,” Little Cubs Field Vice President Denny Garkey said. “Except we have a lot more fun than they do.”

The annual contest allows kids to live out big dreams of playing on professional grounds: Wrigley Field in Chicago or Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

“I think the kids love it,” Mini Cubs coach Steve Rickert said. “My son’s done it for a couple years now and I’ve gotten to coach for a couple years, and it’s just a good time. It’s good baseball.”

The Mini Cubs fell 28-11 in Saturday’s game.

The kids get bragging rights for a year, but Freeport gets to showcase its uniqueness to out-of-towners.

“It’s really good for the community,” Rickert said. “We get a chance to bring people in town and show them what we have here as far as our facilities and Little Cubs Field. We get to show off a pretty cool thing here in Freeport.”

At the end of the day, it’s about creating a fun, memorable experience for the kids.

“It brings a lot of people to town and gives us publicity,” Garkey said. “We’re just trying to promote the field and create a place where kids can have fun and have a unique experience — unlike an experience that a kid this age can have anywhere else in the United States.”

WWI Ireland's Experience: Episode 4 - broadcast 24 August 2014

Ireland's Experience: Episode 4 - Songs for a Lost Generation

Ireland's Experience: Episode 4 - Songs for a Lost Generation

No other war had such an immediate influence on popular music.

In this special episode, singer Declan O'Rourke played a selection of songs to remember the young men who died in World War 1.

Eric Bogle, who wrote the songs The Band Played Waltzing Matilda and Green Fields of France joined us from Adelaide, Australia.

UCD historian, Paul Rouse told the stories connected to the songs and put them into historican context for us.

The songs featured on this programme are folk and protest songs but aren’t they also about remembrance and a reminder of the dangers of glorifying war

The Foggy Dew

In the first two years of World War One, our focus here was very much on that war. But then, the Easter Rising changed everything.  The Foggy Dew was written by Cannon Charles O’Neill in 1919.

It’s a song from before the war to which a verse seems to have been added telling the story of the men going to fight in the Rising

“twas better to die ‘neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sed el Barr’

In addition to being an anti-recruiting song, the final verse of Salonica predicts the ultimate triumph of Sinn Fein (it may have been added after the other verses).     But this song reinforces the realisation of Tom Kettle that, as he put it himself, the leaders of the 1916 Rising would be honoured as true Irishman and he would be remembered, if at all, as a British soldier.

The Green Fields of France

Eric Bogle talked about how a visit to the war graves in France inspired him to write this song.

This song started off as a poem by Joyce Kilmer.   It deals with America entering World War One in 1917.

The American volunteer army that arrived in France in 1917 had a generous sprinkling of Irish soldiers.   Most of them were concentrated in the 165th Infantry Regiment.  Not that the members of the 165th set much store by that particular name. As far as they were concerned they were the 69th New York State Militia - the famous ‘Fighting 69th’.

One of the most celebrated members of the 69th was Joyce Kilmer, already an established American poet before he travelled to France. He was a Sergeant in the 69th. He was offered training as an officer. He could have left the battalion but instead chose to travel to Europe with the 69th as a non-commissioned officer. In 1918 he was killed by a German sniper. Five years earlier he had written his best known poem in a volume called Trees. In 1922 it was set to music by Oscar Rasbach.

The Recruiting Sergeant

The Recruiting Sergeant was written by Seamus O’Farrell who was a journalist and a committed nationalist activist. Coincidentally his mother was a cleaner in Dublin Castle and was one of the last people to see the Irish Crown Jewels intact before they were stolen in 1917.

The protagonist in the song is approached by a recruiting sergeant to join up, he strings him along before telling him that Englishmen should fight their own fights – there is fighting to be done in Ireland rather than in Picardy.

Under the Defence of the Realm Act, it was an offence to write or sing any anti-recruitment songs during World War 1.

Where Have All The Flowers Gone?

The sentiments expressed in this song could apply to any nation at war at any point in our history.

Where Have All the Flowers Gone was played at the funeral of Harry Patch in August, 2009. He was the last surviving British veteran of World War One.

The Band Played Waltzing Matilda

Eric Bogle wrote The Band Played Waltzing Matilda in 1971. It tells the story of a young man who joined up to fight for the Australians – with disastrous consequences.  But it really is a universal song – the dusty outback could as easily be the rolling green hills of Ireland.

This song deals with Gallipoli but what’s often ignored is the number of Irish who fought in Gallipoli.  The Suvla Bay in the song is where the Royal Dublin Fusiliers fought.

The Band Played Waltzing Matilda has been named as one of the top 30 Australian songs of all time.

 The History Show would like to acknowledge the support of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Reconciliation Fund.

Historian, Paul Rouse talks about the origins of this song. Declan O'Rourke performs live.

Green Fields Of France

Eric Bogle on why he wrote this song - and it about any particular Willie McBride? Declan O'Rourke performs live.

Historian, Paul Rouse on the origins of this song written by American poet, Joyce Kilmer. And also, America's entry into WW1. Declan O'Rourke performs live.

Where Have All The Flowers Gone?

This anti-war song was written by Pete Seeger in 1955 and was played at the funeral of Harry Patch in 2009. He was the last surviving veteran of WW1. Eric Bogle talks about what it means to him. Declan O'Rourke performs live.

Silent Night Christmas 1915

This song was written by Cormac MacConnell about the Christmas 1914 truce on the Front. Historian, Paul Rouse explains the background. Declan O'Rourke performs live.

The Band Played Waltzing Matilda

Eric Bogle talks about why he wrote this song. Declan O'Rourke performs live.

Episode 5: The Aftermath

To be broadcast on Sunday 31 August

Thousands never returned home to their loved ones after an armistice was declared on the 11th of November, 1918.

Those who did survive arrived back to a very different Ireland to the one that existed in 1914 when war broke out. It was a divided country, bracing itself for conflict as Sinn Fein triumphed in the 1918 general election and vowed to establish their own parliament in Dublin.

We'll be looking at the brutal legacy of the war, from the traumatized victims of shell shock to bereaved families of fallen soldiers. The stories of the veterans, the reception they received when they returned to Ireland, and their involvement in the country’s struggle for independence. And, the different ways we remember and commemorate the war.

The former Arsenal youth player passed a medical and is only awaiting international clearance before rubber-stamping the move, which will take place during the transfer window.

Falkirk head coach John Hughes said: 'Stephen spent some time with us a few weeks back and he is certainly a very talented footballer.

'He had a fantastic football education under Liam Brady and Arsene Wenger at Arsenal and I am sure he will show those qualities at Falkirk.'

Trail Weekly Racing Recap for Nov. 2, 2010

Hitting the trails on Halloween

Monday, November 1, 2010, 12:00 am
As forewarned, this week was another slow week in the trail-racing world. I’m not going to try to make something out of nothing; this week was definitely dead. As cross country season reaches its pinnacle, it seems its grown-up counterpart is dwindling like the leaves on the trees. Have no fear — with races like Mountain Masochist, Helen Klein, JFK and Quad Dipsea all still coming this month, we have much to look forward to.

This week was all about Halloween fun. Instead of lacing up the racing shoes, it seems most folks rummaged around to find the perfect costume to take to the trails and further the eccentric reputation that we trail runners have earned and with race names like Horror Hill and Pure Screamin’ Hell, who could be disappointed?

Starting out our brief column this week, we’ll head to Ontario for the Horror Hill Trail Races. Consisting of distances of 5K, 15K and Six-Hour, Horror Hill had an enchanted course for everyone. Jay Dolmage snagged the overall win in the 5K in 17:33 over Jason Erb in 19:05 and Justin Brouillette in 19:25. Taya Ambrose was the women’s winner in 22:47. Kathleen Gallagher was second in 24:02 and Maddy Rivard third in 25:03.  Stephen Miller was victorious in the 15K in 55:41. Chris Serran and Mark Sittlington were close behind in 56:48 and 1:01:13, respectively. Marie Claire Brisbois took the women’s win in 1:07:55, followed by Lauren Kolodziejczak in 1:13:15 and Colleen Laing in 1:19:05. Laurie McGrath stole the show in the six-hour race by covering 67K and securing the overall win. George Aitkin was second (and first male) with 65.6K, followed by Christine Torres with 65.4K and Dave Rutherford with 65.2K. Full results here.

Staying north of the border, we’ll check out the frightening action at the Hallow’s Eve Half Marathon and 10K in North Vancouver, BC. This fifth annual event promised some of the most challenging and gruesome trails that the North Shore has to offer. Jacob Haas won the 10K in 42:50, followed by Cory Forrest in 43:54 and Geoffrey Bodnar in 44:15. Nocola Gildersleve was the women’s winner in 48:27 with Marieve Legrand and Kate Scallion trailing in 49:38 and 52:00, respectively. Click here for 10K results. Shane Ruljancich ran his way to the overall victory in the half marathon in a time of 1:36:05. Simon Driver was second in 1:37:09 and Doug Giles was third in 1:46:13. Tamsin Anstey (2009 champion at Mountain Masochist) dominated the women’s field with her victory in 1:48:39, followed by Katrina Driver in 1:51:22 and Jen Segger in 1:56:04. For half marathon results, click here.

The 10M race at the Busa Bushwhack 10M and 5.3M Trail Race was the most competitive race of the week. Although it certainly is not a high-profile event, it was a barnburner. Jim Johnson narrowly took the win in 1:00:54, followed by Eli Torgeson in 1:01:11 and Ben Nephew in 1:01:17. Kath Hardcastle secured the women’s title in much less dramatic fashion in 1:12:20; Stephanie Crawford was second in 1:14:34 and Kaitlin Anelauskas was third in 1:15:21. The 5.3M race was quite slow in comparison to the 10M distance with the top five 10M runners actually running faster average miles than the winner of the 5.3M. Nonetheless, Rich Person got the win in 34:35, followed by Joe Biedenkapp in 35:59 and Tomas Bok in 36:08. Susan MacLeod got the women’s win in 39:04, followed by Catherine Markesich in 41:48 and Elizabeth Conway in 42:43. Full results here.

We’ll finish up this week with the Hairy Gorilla Half Marathon and Squirly 6M Race in Albany, NY. This very popular race had nearly 600 finishers between the two races, many of whom were clad in outlandish costumes. Eamon Dempsey was first to cross the line in the 6M race in 37:55, followed by Tom Dalton in 38:44 and Peter Katlic in 39:26.  Kristin Zielinski ran away from the competition en route to her win in 44:16. Allison Sutton was a distant second in 48:26 and Laurie Hoyt was third in 52:14. In the half marathon, it was a duel between Ross Krause and Mike Rutledge up front. Krause prevailed and ultimately won the race over Rutledge by only seven seconds, finishing in 1:23:51. Shaun Evans was third behind Rutledge in 1:25:38. Laura Gersten was victorious over the women’s field in 1:42:32, followed very closely by Jaime Sherwood in 1:42:46 and Tina Greene in 1:44:29. Full results here.

Be sure to check back next week for Ultra Cup coverage at the Mountain Masochist 50 Mile Trail Run!

Women's RS800 Training Weekends

Skandia Team GBR Women's Skiff Programme gathers pace with RS800 partnership

With the women’s skiff event now confirmed for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the RYA is furthering its Skandia Team GBR Women’s Skiff Programme by announcing a partnership with the RS Class Association to focus on development through the RS800.

The partnership with RS reflects the strength of the UK RS800 fleet and its ability to provide the ideal training ground for female teams who are looking towards 2016. This has been further enhanced thanks to the RS Class allowing all women’s teams to sail ‘off the boom’, an essential component of any likely future women’s Olympic skiff.

In the period between now and the ISAF selection of the women’s Olympic skiff equipment (expected in November 2012), the RYA will provide RS800 coaching weekends and encourage teams to participate in existing major RS800 events with a Women’s Super Series derived from those.

Contact the RS Class (http://www.rs-association.com/) for further details of both the Super Series and RS800 events in general.  However, one purpose of this year’s initiative is to aid selection of sailors for Skandia Team GBR Women’s Skiff Squad and while more information on how the squad will be selected will become available, the RS800 Nationals will have a part to play and aspiring sailors will need to be in attendance.

Teams wishing to participate in this summer’s RS800 training and events are required to provide their own boats.  For more information on acquiring second hand RS800s or how to convert them to sheeting off the boom, contact LDC Sailing (www.ldcsailing.com)

Preferential support from RS will only be open to female teams who have registered interest and been accepted either for the Girls 4 Gold Skiff Weekends (either HISC or WPNSA) and the Open RS800 training dates detailed below.

Sacred Texts  Christianity  Early Church Fathers  Index  Previous  Next

Hymn LX.

1. O what amazement befel the Evil One, of a sudden, my brethren:  when the sinful woman was corrected, and gained Wisdom!—2. R., Glory to the One Who alone, conquered the Evil One; and to Him yea Him be also confession, Who vanquished Death!—3.  p. 213 The Evil One marvelled “Where is her laughter? where her perfumes? where her dancing and outward ornament, and inward wickedness?”—4. Instead of that light laughter, she is given up to tears:  She has cut off her hair to wipe the dust, off the feet of Jesus.—5. Naught lasts in her of any doctrine, nor abides in her:  from our instruction she has escaped and cast away, all that I taught her.—6. She has denied us and our acquaintance, and even as though:  she had never seen me she has blotted my image, out of her mind.—7. The living leaven of Jesus flew to her, Jesus was silent:  but she made bold to press and enter, though none called her.—8. She forgot our love of many years, and in the twinkling of an eye:  from between me and her she removed it, and set Death there.—9. For instead of laughter weeping delights her, and instead of paint:  a shower of tears, and instead of ornament, a sad countenance.—10. Zaccheus I made chief of extortioners, and her I made:  chief of wantons; my two wings, Jesus has broken.—11. If so be Zaccheus becomes his disciple, and if so be she:  becomes his hearer, henceforth they fetter, my craftiness.—12. Carved images henceforth are a mockery and the carvers:  a derision, and the worshippers a laughing-stock.—13. I shut men’s eyes that they might not perceive, that they are carved images:  Jesus opens their eyes to see that they are the works of men’s hands.—14. If Jesus has chosen for Himself preachers, then our preaching:  whereof the whole world is full, is put to silence.—15. For lo! the Chaldeans with the soothsayers, and lo! the wizards:  with the diviners they are smitten and the priests, with all evil ones!—16. Ye priests are ended and have given up the Ghost from henceforth, depart ye diviners! become husbandmen, the Chaldeans likewise, shall close their books.—17. If the Hebrews have become His disciples, who by all miracles:  were not subdued, who of the nations, shall not obey him?—18. If he begins to set straight the reverse, He brings to naught our speech:  henceforth He will not hesitate against us, He who rebukes all men.—19. In that I was worshipped in all temples, our disgrace is greater:  than our honour was, for all men spit, upon our altars.—20. Flesh of sacrifice becomes abhorred, into fragments:  idols are broken, and carven images burn, under their pots.—21. All our work becomes a laughing-stock, and a ruin:  all that we have built, and a mockery, all that we have taught.—22. The secret mysteries that I taught them, laboriously:  are about to be spread abroad, on the housetops.—23. Of the Egyptians I was more proud, than of any nation:  for they used to worship even, the onions and garlic.—24. Lo! I fear lest even here, where delusion was so great:  truth shall prevail that there exceedingly, Jesus may reign.—25. And if when He was an infant, and fled and went down, Egypt marvelled:  yea lulled him—this strangler of babes, loved their Babe.—26. Was it a pledge He went down to give her, as a betrother:  giving assurance that when of full age, He will also take her to wife?—27. Pharaoh cannot set his foot firm, for this is no stammerer:  that he should deceive Him, and no bondman, that he should lie unto Him.—28. Moses smote and the Egyptians rebelled, and he chastised the people:  and the Hebrews rebelled—Jesus is smitten, and gives life to all.—29. This is hard to understand that not by force; lays He His yoke:  on the rebellious:  He was rebuked, and He instructs others.—30. The spittle of His mouth, wiped off and took away, the shame of Adam:  by the smiting of His cheeks, He rooted out our wrathfulness, from His disciples.—31. By the nails which he received, He made me to suffer.  I rejoiced when I crucified Him:  and I knew not that He was crucifying me, in His crucifixion.

I made some of these poems walking about among the Seven Woods, before the big wind of nineteen hundred and three blew down so many trees, & troubled the wild creatures, & changed the look of things; and I thought out there a good part of the play which follows. The first shape of it came to me in a dream, but it changed much in the making, foreshadowing, it may be, a change that may bring a less dream-burdened will into my verses. I never re-wrote anything so many times; for at first I could not make these wills that stream into mere life poetical. But now I hope to do easily much more of the kind, and that our new Irish players will find the buskin and the sock.

Sacred Texts  Taoism  Index  Previous  Next

The first line of this chapter contains much food for thought. In our first edition we have translated these four words by "Going forth is life, coming home is death." We still cling to the same meaning, but we believe we have improved the diction by translating "Abroad in life, home in death."

We must grant, however, that we might translate, "He who enters life must return in death," but this interpretation that "he who is born must die," is objectionable mainly because it is too trivial for Lao-tze.

The second paragraph in this chapter is obscure and seems beyond hope of

p. 175

making good sense. A literal translation reads:

"Life's followers [are] ten have three
Death's followers [are] ten have three
In man's life the moving to death places are also ten have three."

This may mean either ten plus three, i. e., thirteen, or of ten take three, viz., "three in ten."

If the translation "thirteen" be correct, "thirteen retainers" might according to Chinese folklore mean the five senses and the eight apertures which make thirteen avenues of life. This interpretation is based on the view of the commentator Lu Tze who may be right, and his view becomes somewhat probable when we bear in mind Chapter 52, where Lao-tze speaks of the mouth and the sense-gates as beset with danger. There he declares that the sage who keeps these openings closed will to the end of his life remain safe.

I applied to Mr. Ng Poon Chew for an explanation and he writes:

"The passage is very vague and obscure, its meaning is no clearer to me

p. 176

than to you. I have consulted a few good Chinese scholars and they were all baffled. The words shi yiu san, "ten have three," may mean here "thirteen" or "three out of ten."

If we translate "three in ten," the reader will naturally ask, Three times three in ten make nine, where is the tenth? And we would answer, it is "the man who bases his life on goodness." Three in ten are anxious to live, three in ten somehow are doomed to death, and other three in ten walk blindly toward death; they all live life's intensity. There is but one who is above life and death, and this is the man who bases his life on goodness.

In this case we interpret the word fu, "footman, follower, retainer," in the sense of "pursuer."

We have chosen the former interpretation which seems to us the most probable, but do not claim to have solved the difficulty.

*   *   *

The last section of this chapter finds a striking parallel in Plato's Phædrus,

p. 177

in the same book and on the same pagina (248) that contains the reference to the supercelestial being which is colorless and shapeless, quoted above in our comments on Chapter 14. The passage in Plato reads: "There is a law of destiny that the soul which attains any vision of truth in company with a god is preserved from harm until the next period, and if attaining always is always unharmed." 10

The same idea is expressed in the famous ode of Horace, Integer vitae. The belief that a truly good man is miraculously protected in danger is not uncommon in folktales and appears to have been an integral part of primitive religion.

Are these coincidences between Plato and Lao-tze accidental or are we to look upon them as echoes of a notion which in both the West and East have been inherited from a distant prehistoric past? The latter is certainly not improbable.

*   *   *

"Reality" here translates the word

p. 178

wuh, "concrete things," and commonly occurs in the phrase "the ten thousand things" which means the entire world.

The character sh‘ = "expansion" is a synonym of wei in the sense of assertion. The sage fears to be or to appear or to claim too much. He avoids self-aggrandizement.

177:10 Jowett's translation.

Elliott Wave Analysis: USD Index and EURJPY Intraday

By: Gregor Horvat | Wed, Mar 26, 2014
Print Email

USD Index is trapped in 79.87 - 80.45 range in the form of a corrective price action. We can already see two swing lows and two swing highs that can represent a contracting triangle placed in the middle of a larger uptrend. Triangle are five wave patterns so ideally market is now in wave (d) with wave (e) still to come before market may break through the upper side of the range.

I still have eye on EURJPY where latest price action suggests that wave (B) is a triangle and not a flat. Looking now for wave E top around 141.80. An impulsive sell off from the upper side of a range will be interesting price action for short entries.

Clap Along if You Feel that Happiness is the Truth

By: Michael Ashton | Tuesday, March 4, 2014

It might seem crazy what I'm 'bout to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care baby by the way

- From "Happy" by Pharrell Williams

Cliff Asness and John Liew have an article that is in the latest issue of Institutional Investor, discussing the development, strengths, and shortfalls of the Efficient Market Hypothesis, which underlies the Nobel award for both Fama (as a proponent) and Shiller (as a skeptic) this year.One of the interesting points that Asness and Liew make is that examinations of market efficiency depend on the "joint hypothesis" that (a) prices move efficiently to represent correct values, and (b) the model of values that they move to is correct. They point out that if prices seem to deviate from fair value (as expressed by a model), that could mean that either markets are inefficient/irrational, or that the model is wrong (or both). And they suggest strengthening the EMH to include a limitation on such models that they make some kind of sense - since a model that incorporates irrational behavior might well-describe all sorts of crazy market action but not be "efficient" in any sense that makes sense to us.

This may not be an irrelevant reflection, given the price events of today. Stocks more than rebounded from yesterday's Ukraine-induced selloff, implying that not only are stocks just as valuable today as they were yesterday, but that they are even more valuable than they were before we found out about escalating tensions in the Crimean. This seems to border on the "unusual model" side of things - especially since nothing particularly soothing happened today.

Earlier today, Reuters reported that one of the Russian threats made in response to the vague declarations of the U.S. that "all options are on the table, from diplomatic to economic" (pointedly leaving out "military," as Obama did yesterday, because gosh knows we don't want the Russians to think that's even a possibility) was that Russians might not repay loans due to U.S. banks (or, presumably, European banks if they joined any sanctions). This is a clever threat, in the old vein of "if you owe $100, it's your problem; if you owe $1 billion, it's the bank's problem." Everyone who thinks that economic sanctions are a no-brainer are correct, in the sense that it would imply no brain.
Russia also tested an intercontinental ballistic missile. This was "viewed as non-threatening and is not connected to what is going on in Crimea," which is of course absurd: regardless of how long the test has been scheduled, someone who was trying to "de-escalate" tensions would surely defer the test for a week. The fact that the test happened is one of many signs today that Putin's soothing words were hollow. All of the actions today, from additional warships steaming towards the Crimean peninsula to ICBM launches and confrontations between Ukrainian and Russian troops, were consistent with an escalating crisis even as Putin said there was no "immediate" need to invade eastern Ukraine.

Stocks loved the idea that the conflict may be over, with the west simply conceding the Crimea and Russia deciding that she is sated for the time being, as ridiculously unlikely as that outcome actually is. And, as I fully expected, we heard over and over today the Rothschildian admonition to "buy on the sound of cannons." And indeed, they bought. Oh, how they bought. The S&P rose 1.53% and most European bourses were up 2%-3%. The expected comparisons were made, to the performance of equities during and following the Cuban Missile Crisis, the first Gulf War, and the invasion of the Sudetenland.

These comparisons are all nonsense. Here's why.

CAPE prior to

June 1938

Oct 1962

Aug 1990

This is what happens when people learn the "whats" ofhistory, but don't learn the "whys." The Rothschildian point isn't simply to buy on the sound of cannons. It's to buy when markets are cheap because of the sound of cannons. And that is most assuredly not the case presently. If stocks had dropped 50% because of the Russian invasion, I would have been at the front of the line telling people to buy. It is reckless and feckless to buy when the market is expensive, and there are cannons that suggest a higher risk premium is warranted at least for a time.

Really, what is the risk here, today? Is the risk really that an investor might miss the next 25%, because the world becomes not only safe, but safer than it was a week ago, and a super-cheap market simply takes off? Or is there some risk that an investor might participate in the next -25%? Good heavens, surely the latter is a far greater risk right now. And, after all, Rothschild also said "sell on the sound of trumpets" (it's always interesting how the bearish parts get forgotten), so that if the crisis is over and the west is victorious then you're supposed to be selling! Here I guess is my point: this is not Rothschild's market.

And, as Asness and Liew might put it, the model that implies stocks are more valuable after such an episode...might not be a rational model. But today, Pharrell wins: clap along if you feel like that's what you want to do!>

Louis Kahn's African-American Vernacular

By Kostis Kourelis
| Mar 26, 2014

Carver Court

When the telephone rang in my office at Franklin & Marshall College, I was surprised to learn that the caller on the other line was a resident of a Louis Kahn house and, most strikingly, a Louis Kahn house that has been largely forgotten. In 1942, Kahn, Oscar Storonov, and George Howe reconfigured the traditional row house to serve a community of African-American steel workers returning from World War II. Known to just a handful of architectural historians, Carver Court in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, had receded from public attention. And for that very reason, the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia had placed it on its 2012 Endangered Properties List. Thanks to the stewardship of Ben Leech and the research of Allee Berger, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission determined Carver Court eligible for listing in the National Register of HIstoric Places in March 2013.

As the local architectural historian, I was invited to meet with civic and community leaders of Caln Township to brainstorm on the future of this housing complex and to strategize on celebrating its unique role in the history of African-American labor. Although I am not a Kahn expert, I had worked in Louis Kahn's archives as a student, and wanted to seize the moment that William Whitaker and Ben Marcus have set into motion with their spectacular new book, The Houses of Louis Kahn, and accompanying exhibition at the University of Pennsylvania Architectural Archives.

Carver Court

Carver Court is no ordinary house by virtue of its users, some of which are the original African-American steelworkers. Most of the better-known Kahn houses were commissioned by Philadelphia’s professional class and are located in the suburbs, while Carver Court engages Kahn’s early commitment to social and economic justice. If it were up to Kahn, Carver Court would not have been segregated. Race politics at this Pennsylvania mill town necessitated the residential division between black and white workers, even though both groups worked for the same Lukens Steel factory. The lynching of Zachariah Walker in 1911 underscored such ethnic tensions. Caln Township was initially settled by William Penn in 1714. Ironically, the white and black housing projects were separated by the Gardner-Beale farm, which had strong Quaker roots and served in the Underground Railroad. A farmhouse from 1811 survives and is now surrounded by Coatesville High School completed in 1968.

Louis Kahn was a housing activist as early as 1931, when he founded the Architecture Research Group. His partner, Oscar Storonov (and Alfred Kastner), had designed the first Modernist housing project in America, the Carl Mackley Houses for the hosiery workers union (1932). Kahn’s activism helped fight Philadelphia’s resistance to public housing and led into the foundation of the Philadelphia Housing Authority. Carver Court is the greatest physical manifestation of Kahn’s labor union vernacular.

Coatesville is located half way between Philadelphia and Lancaster at the intersection of the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line and the Brandywine River. Coatesville’s steel mills, that produced the beams for the World Trade Center, are of great historical significance and, like Kahn’s housing, continue to operate (under new global management). Carver Court’s remoteness from Philadelphia and the general economic decline of manufacturing have contributed in a slow forgetting of both Pennsylvania’s labor movement and Philadelphia’s architectural engagement. Six decades after its original completion, Carver Court asks some important questions. It is only one of five housing projects designed by Kahn, Storonov, and Howe, and it the single specimen of their African-American architecture. Carver Court has slipped the radar of preservationists and historians because it looks nondescript and lacks the telltale signs of high modernist distinction. Its ordinariness, however, is what makes it exemplary. Taking cues from Le Corbusier’s elevated piloti, Kahn invented a scheme of adoptive design that reinterpreted the traditional row house. His “ground-freed” housing form elevated living quarters to the second floor and left the first floor open to the owner’s specific interpretation. Rather than limiting what the owners did with their allotted housing unit, Kahn wanted the occupants to exercise some freedom in how to use the first floor. It could function as a garage, a workshop, or added living space. The architect’s agency could be supplemented by the occupant’s agency, giving the community a sense of ownership and design engagement. Thus, the very indeterminacy of Carver Court that makes it a specimen of democratic design has also caused its progressive neglect by scholarship.

The phone call from Carver Court and the meeting with Caln Township precipitated a series of questions on both the original significance of the monument as well as the pedagogical opportunities in its rediscovery. A call from a grassroots community generates a research opportunity beyond the obvious scholarly needs. Involving undergraduate students in the documentation of Carver Court’s story seems one of those rare opportunities to engage students with artifacts. First, it is astounding how much work remains to be done even on America’s most important modernist architect. Understanding the afterlife of Carver Court is one immediate challenge, but one of great potential in teaching what Delores Hayden called “the power of place.”

    I am so excited to see Carver Court featured in SAH! Great post. I got turned onto them by  Jean-Louis Cohen's "Architecture in Uniform" (2011), where he mentions "the project for permanent public war housing built at Coatesville, PA, in 1944 by George Howe and Louis Kahn that, too, seemed to echo Le Corbusier’s reorganization agraire houses from the 1930s.” I've been researching earlier (1936-41) FSA migrant worker camps in CA and AZ, and the two-story row house design for FSA camps like Yuba City, a spare, focused design driven by a limited budget and, I think, influenced by FSA architects' knowledge of Le Corbusier's Radiant Farm and his social housing at Pessac.

  2. Donald Hoffmann | Apr 11, 2014
    A remarkable companion to Le Corbusier's housing at Pessac. Both appear to have suffered the same fate: ordinary people tend to modify high-style buildings into ordinary ones. The conflict between aesthetics and sociology seems endless, and in today's politicized architectural history the latter concern has become dominant, alas.
  3. Jennifer Sale Crane | Apr 11, 2014
    What an interesting story. Forgive me, but the term "African American vernacular" seems a bit misleading in this case, since the housing complex was designed by an architect, and a white modernist architect, at that. You mention that Kahn did not want Carver Court to be segregated. Are his designs based on the concept of an integrated community? Was the white housing development identical to the one for African Americans, or were there any differences in design/materials/landscaping? I would also be interested to hear about the various ways that the current residents are using their first-floor "flex" space, and how those uses compare to that of the original residents. Great article, thanks.
  4. ec winston | Apr 03, 2014
    I believe categorizing this as 'African-American Vernacular' architecture is misleading.
  5. carol hickey | Mar 29, 2014
    Thank you for that informative article.  Afer reading the additional  information about the proposed adjacent solar farm, and the possible, threatening  implications of erosion - could some of the solar panels be allotted to the existing buildings and perhaps in the open space  of the "racetrack" and provide a benefit for the Carver Court residents??? Of course not having any details of this issue, it's only a thought.

Belgium annexes the Congo Free State

Flag of Congo Free State

Saturday, 17 October 1908

The central African region in which the Congo (now Democratic Republic of the Congo) lies has been pervaded by conflict and instability. This can be traced back to the early 19th century, when European powers competed for territory and resources in Africa.

The Kongo Kingdom was first explored by the Portuguese, who traded in goods and slaves with local chiefs, but it was only in 1867 that the heart of the Congo was penetrated by European explorers. One in particular, Henry Stanley Morton, travelled extensively through the region, and returned to Europe to report on the vast commercial opportunity of Africa. At this stage, the Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese had been relatively successful in their colonial expeditions. Belgium, on the other hand, had been unsuccessful in most of its attempts, and its ruler, and King Leopold II, was determined to possess a colony. He undertook this in his personal capacity by recruiting Stanley to exploit the resources in the Congo, known as Congo Free State at the time. Leopold also set up the Association Internationale Africaine. He claimed that it was a philanthropic organization, but in reality it only served as a front for his economic exploitation of the region. Under Leopold's administration, the people of the Congo experienced immense cruelty, particularly with regard to the collection of natural rubber. Men and even children were recruited to search for natural rubber in dense forests. Upon their return with less rubber than expected, or with no rubber at all, their hands would be amputated. This is but one example of the cruelty that existed under Leopold's rule.

Numerous scandals were associated with Leopold's administration - so much so, that by 1908, the Belgian government removed Leopold from rule. On 17* October 1908, Congo Free State was annexed by Belgium and became known as Belgian Congo. Although the cruelty with which locals were treated was not as severe as during Leopold's administration (which has now been referred to as a genocide), the practice of scientific racism became the norm, leading to a number of ethnic conflicts, some of which have persisted to the present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Current Favourite Blushers.

It’s no secret that I’m a bit of a blush addict. I don’t have a particularly large make up collection but my blush draw is by far the most tightly packed. I was aiming to do a top 5 blush post but I’ve cheated slightly because I can’t narrow it down any further than 8. Yep, I'm super indecisive!

My first favourite is my only ELF blush and it’s in the shade candid coral. I’ve been meaning to try more shades from the studio range of blushes because I love this one so much, a couple will definitely sneak into my next order. The packaging is amazing for such an inexpensive product; it’s sleek looking and even has a little mirror inside. Candid coral is a gorgeous colour that I find so easy to wear, it’s not one of those colours that you have to be careful when applying and it’s very flattering on my warm toned skin. The formula is smooth and blends beautifully, I really can’t believe these only cost £3.50 and I would recommend them to everyone!

Left: On Location French Riviera. Right: Paris Show.
My next two favourites are both by the brand Modelista and I got them from my beautiful friend Tennille who lives in Australia. I don’t know if this is a brand you can only get in Australia, if so you Aussie’s are super lucky, but if you can get your hands on some of their products I really recommend them. I adore the packaging, it has just the right amount of tacky and you get a really good-sized mirror inside. I have two shades, On Location French Riviera, which is described as a pink rose blush palette, & Paris Show which is a blush and cheek highlighter palette. The blushes themselves are super pretty, they’re made up of different shades and I usually swirl my brush all around and then dust on to my cheeks. The on location French Riviera palette is probably my favourite of the 2 just because the colour is slightly warmer but I wear these a lot. I’m not sure how much these are but they’re worth every penny!

Another make up range I’ve been meaning to pick up a few more pieces from is Topshop. Me and Topshop clothing have a hate-hate relationship going on, but if the rest of the make up is as good as the cream blush I have, it’s pretty fabulous. The shade I have is Neon Rose and although it looks scarily bright in the pan, on the cheeks it gives a pretty coral flush that would be flattering on a variety of skin tones. Again the packaging is super cute, I like pretty packaging, and there’s a mirror inside which is always fabulous. These are £6 which I think is very reasonable and I’m pretty eager to get my hands on the shade flushed too.

After hearing a lot about NYX cosmetics on Youtube and blogs I’d wanted to try them out for a while. As I was browsing on one of the discount websites I found the cream blushers, saw they were only £3 or £4 and decided to give them a go. The shade Glow is a really lovely pinky shade that really does, as the name implies, make you look as if you are glowing. A little goes a very long way & these are so easy to blend even though the formula is a little thick, you’d think they would cost a lot more than they do.

The cool dusk blush trio from The Body Shop was limited edition sometime last summer I think and cost £12 but if you live anywhere near a Body Shop outlet you might be able to find one for £3 which is a bit of a bargain! Although it’s very cool toned I really like the way it looks on my skin tone plus it looks super pretty in the pan. Yep, I am that shallow. You can focus your brush on one part of the blush, or you can do what I like to do and get a mix of the 3 different tones. This is going to be one of my winter staples for sure.

Finally, it wouldn’t be a favourites post from me if I didn’t include some Illamasqua. I have two blushes from the brand, one cream & one powder and I adore them both. I don’t own any MAC products so the occasional product from Illamasqua is my little make up indulgence.

Unrequited powder blush is described as a soft baby pink & that’s exactly what it is. It’s so pigmented & I’m very pale so I have to be careful with how much I apply to avoid looking like a clown, but the smallest amount gives a pretty pink flush and really warms up my complexion.

Promise cream blush is described as a warm candy pink & it’s so flattering on my skintone; I think it’s my favourite blush of all time. It manages to effortlessly brighten up my complexion and make me look really awake and glowy. Both blushers have an incredible consistency; they apply and blend so easily it takes no effort at all. These are the most expensive of my favourites at £16 each but they are so worth it I would recommend them to anyone, even if it takes a little extra saving up to purchase one.

I’m pretty sure if I were doing this post in a couple of weeks time Tweak from Illamasqua, which I've just purchased, would make it into my favourites but these are my current top picks.

What are your favourite blushers? Are there any must haves I need in my collection?

Spending the Pennies.

Can someone please hide my debit card from me? Online shopping is just way too easy, a couple of clicks and there's something pretty heading your way. I also really love getting post, everyone loves getting post, right? Anyhoo, I was casually browsing Asos & Cheap Smells as you do & before I knew it I had accidentally bought a couple of things. ...oops?
I've never used any high end hair products, I've never thought my hair needed anything special but curiosity finally got the better of me. Is Bed Head considered high end in hair care? I have no idea but I've heard a lot about the Superstar range & when I saw the 750ml duo on for only £14 I thought I might as well give them a go. So far I love the packaging, hello obnoxiously bright pink bottles, and they smell gorgeous, the product not the bottles! Fingers crossed they do something for my yucky hair, it certainly needs some help!

Yep, Asos got me again. It's the free delivery option that sucks me in, it really is! I couldn't resist these super cute necklaces, I've got a bit of a thing for peace symbols at the moment, and I caved and bought another Illamasqua blush that I totally didn't need. Not needing something has never stopped me before so in the basket it went.

I've had my eye on this statement necklace for yonks, I was just waiting for it to go into the sale because I'm cheap. When I spied it had, I was quick to snap it up & I love it. It's not going to be to everyone's taste, my mum hates it for example, but I love it and that's all that matters!

My second necklace choice is far more dainty & pretty and I know I'm going to be wearing it a lot. The little peace charm is so tiny & the pearl effect chain just makes it a little more special than it would be on a plain gold chain.

An asos loot wouldn't be the same without something from Illamasqua finding its way into my basket now would it? I am so weak when it comes to blush. Tweak has been on my wishlist for such a long time but I'd been hesitant to get it because it's a slightly red based hot pink and at the time I had a lot of redness in my cheeks from acne. Distilled witch hazel has worked its magic in recent weeks and the redness has calmed down dramatically so I thought I'd go ahead and purchase. I'm so happy I did because it's a gorgeous colour and like all Illamasqua blushes, so incredibly pigmented. At £16 these aren't cheap but they will last such a long time, they're a good investment in my opinion!

Are you someone who can't resist the temptation of online shopping? Please tell me I'm not alone!

My number one most requested post at the moment is more pictures of Ralphie! He's fast becoming the star of my blog & I can totally see why, after all, he's way cuter than me!

He's almost 11 weeks old now and proving to be very cheeky. As I type this he's trying to steal my cream cake & he's always trying to squeeze himself into tiny spaces or attempting to dig a hole in my carpet. He's discovered that he can squeeze under my chest of drawers & apparently it's very comfortable because it took me over an hour to coax him out. When he's not being naughty he's usually being lazy and sleeping somewhere.

I think his ears are totally adorable, when he relaxes them one sticks up and the other flops down - how cute! That's definitely his little bit of mini lop shining through.

He's doing really well & I love him very much. I'm going to start slowly introducing fresh veggies into his diet in the next couple of weeks, hopefully he'll like real carrots more than he likes his little toy carrot. I think I was conned into buying him toys, he's really not interested in things if he can't eat them & I don't blame him there!

Lots of love, Ralphie! ♥

Frame Friday 006.

0001. Now the weather is getting cooler I wake up to condensation on my window & I love how pretty and ethereal the world looks through it.
0002. I started my new job yesterday and it went really well. I'm still a bit nervy because I don't know the stock inside out just yet, but hopefully I'll pick it up quickly. There are so many things I want to buy already, oh dear!
0003. Thank you again for all your positive comments on my recent outfit posts, I really wasn't expecting it at all. I didn't think I'd enjoy doing them because I'm terribly awkward in front of a camera & don't consider myself in the slightest bit fashionable, but surprisingly they're fast becoming one of my favourite posts to do.
0004. Ralphie is becoming a cheeky bunny, there's no other word to describe him. He definitely knows what he wants and he'll have a little strop if he doesn't get it. He's very cute!
0005. Online shopping is something I partake in a little too often, it's just too easy! But the part I don't like is having to wait for my goodies to be delivered, that's just no fun & I'm super impatient. I hope they arrive tomorrow!
0006. The scon/scone debate has arisen again! I call it a scone, what do you say?!

What I Wore: Paper Planes and Playground Games.

Firstly I’d just like to say a huge thank you for all the lovely comments on my first outfit post, I really wasn’t expecting such an overwhelmingly positive response but it really made me smile. I’ve definitely been bitten by the outfit bug and this time round it was a little easier. By that I mean I didn’t have to take almost 60 images in a bid to find one where I wasn’t mid-blink, am I actually gaining control of my face?!

The cooler weather of late has encouraged me start layering again. Autumn and winter are my favourite seasons by far because if you’re cold you can put more clothes on, but when you’re too hot there’s only so far you can go!

Dress: Gino NV.
Tee: Primark.
Cardigan: H&M.

Excuse my odd pointy finger in the first photograph, it appears to have a mind of it’s own and for some reason I can’t help but find it incredibly annoying. Weird finger aside, this dress is one of my favourites. The cute pinafore style & bow detailing is really cute and the way it’s cut at the top gives my modest bust a bit of an imaginary size-boost. The cardigan on the other hand is a bit of a pain in the bum because every time it’s washed it shrinks and has to be stretched back into shape. The stretching is taking its toll but I just love its shape & colour so much I’ll keep wearing it until I can’t anymore. I now know why there was a huge pile of them in H&M for £5 and I will avoid in future.

Over the last few days I’ve loved wearing really simple make up that only takes me 10 minutes max to apply. Today I tried the max volume flash mascara by Rimmel again & I still hate it. It takes far too long to dry & because I have quite hooded eyelids the mascara just smudges everywhere unless I keep my eyes closed for 15 minutes. I’ve had it for quite a while and I thought maybe it’s one that gets better with time, but nope, instead it’s going in the bin. Big & curvy I’m sorry I deserted you - please take me back! Cream blush is still amazing in my opinion & glow by NYX is one of my favourites, it’s a beautiful colour that I’d recommend over and over.

My lip combination today was a bit different. I opted for Vintage Pink by Rimmel, which looks quite purple on my lips with Wild about Violet lipgloss from Revlon over the top. Despite being super pale I actually quite liked it, a definite combination for winter.

What did you wear today & what are your favourite make up looks at the moment?

Review: Alva Natural Skincare.

Alva is a company that produces a range of natural and organic skincare & make up products, which are free from potentially nasty ingredients like parabens and SLS. Their products are also not tested on animals with the majority having organic certification as well. Alva were kind enough to send me three different products to test out which I have been doing over the last couple of months.

The Daily Care roll on deodorant is something I’ve been using daily since I received it. I think it’s a fabulous product and that’s coming from someone who usually dislikes roll-on deodorants. This doesn’t leave my underarms feeling uncomfortably damp for ages like some can and the scent, coconut lime, really is divine – it’s a pleasant change from cotton fresh & other usual deodorant scents!

I don’t have, how shall I put this, an underarm sweat problem so I don’t need anything as heavy duty as say Mitchum. If you do prefer those kinds of products then this one won’t be for you, but if you’re looking for a paraben free deodorant I’d really recommend giving this one a go. The formulation is really gentle, alcohol free and I think the extracts of chamomile & comfrey have really helped to soothe my underarm area & prevent any irritation from shaving.

The deodorants come in a range of scents and are priced at £7. I’ve used mine daily for months now and I’m not even half way through so this really is a product that will last a long time.

The second product I’ve been trying is the eye cream with organic sea buckthorn and if I’m honest, I’m not sure how to review this. I’m not saying that because it’s a bad product, I think it’s nice, but I’ve not tried many eye creams in the past so I don’t have any comparisons. The cream is aimed for skin over 30 to reduce fine lines and firm the skin; those aren’t problems I have at the moment since I’m only 21 but I have noticed my eyes don’t look as tired as they used to which is lovely!

The squeeze tube makes it easy to apply the right amount to your eyes & will also allow you to get every last bit out of the tube – you’ve got to get your moneys worth after all! The cream itself is fairly thick in consistency yet it blends nicely and sinks in almost instantly. At £18 it’s not super cheap, but it’s also not what I’d call pricey for a skincare item. Would I purchase this with my own money? Yes I think I would, but in a few years time when I think it would be more suitable for my skin type. I’ve definitely got the eye cream bug at the moment and I’m excited to try some that are formulated for younger skin to see how they compare.

The final product is my absolute favourite because I’m a sucker for pretty pink lipgloss. The packaging is sleek and sophisticated with my only negative being you can’t see when you’re running out. That being said, I don’t think I’ve ever finished an entire tube of lipgloss, am I alone there?

The shade I have is called rose wet & I refer to it as my 60’s gloss. It’s pigmented enough to wear alone leaving a pretty baby pink shimmer to the lips but I also adore wearing it over a pink lipstick like pink pout from Revlon.

Scent wise this seems quite citrusy to me which I really like and the formula is lovely. It has ingredients like cocoa butter & vitamin e to ensure this won’t dry your lips out, in fact it’ll offer moisture. In this specific range there are only 2 other colours but Alva also have different glosses that come in a range of colours. These are £11.95 so slightly more expensive than the pharmacy glosses I usually purchase but not by much & the formulation is so lovely that I’d say it’s worth the extra couple of pounds.

Overall I have to give a massive thumbs up to Alva; not only do I really like the whole ethos behind the company, I also think they have some great quality products that make it a special brand. Have you ever tried any products from Alva? Are there any that I need to check out?

What I Wore: Transatlanticism.

Dress – Boohoo.
Leggings: H&M.
Slipper boots: Primark.

Okay, the one thing I’ve learned today is that taking outfit photos is hard work. My room isn’t big enough & I’m not short enough to take proper full length pictures which I must admit, I’m a little annoyed about - if only I were a few inches shorter! Also in 99% of the (many) images I took I seem to have blinked at just the point the shutter clicked, typical! Behind the camera I’m comfortable, in front of it I become an awkward fool. Oh dear. Maybe practise makes it easier? Please tell me it gets easier!

Keeping accessories simple with a dress as bold as this one is an absolute must for me because I’m admittedly a bit boring safe with my outfits.

Plane necklace – Asos.
Heart ring – Scape jewellery.
Charm bracelet – 21st birthday present.

I’ve fallen back in love with my cool dusk blush from The Body Shop & I think it’ll be a staple for me this winter because it’s not matte which I adore. I bought a back up in the York Designer Outlet for £3 so luckily I won’t be running out any time soon.

Today is a lazy day so I kept the rest of my face super simple with just a little Healthy mix foundation, Benefit Boi-ing & Erase Paste concealers and lashings of Big & Curvy mascara from The Body Shop.

What did you wear today?

PS. Do you have a lookbook or a chictopia account? I just got them & I have no clue how to use them at the moment but if you’d like to be my friend or whatever you do to follow people on there then that would be wonderful!

Frame Friday 005.

0001. I keep slipping back into my way of taking photographs no matter how hard I try to attempt different styles. If that’s a good thing or bad I’m not too sure but maybe it’s something I shouldn’t fight.

0002. The start date for my Open University course is drawing closer and I’m still feeling unprepared. Some pretty stationery is needed I think. Hopefully I'm not alone in my infatuation with pretty stationery! Whenever I get a new notebook the first few pages are always in my very best handwriting, that soon goes downhill though!

0003. Saturday was supposed to be my last day at my current job but I've left early. I have never been spoken to in such a rude manner by anyone before & I didn't deserve all of that. I'm disappointed in myself for crying again, I cry at everything! But nevermind, I have a nice few days off before I start my new job with my lovely new manager.

0004. In happier news, Ralphie is settling in really well, he’s got a really cheeky personality and I love him very much. He doesn’t like my hairdryer or the hoover but to be honest, I wouldn’t like them very much either so I don’t blame him for hiding in his little house.

0005. Sailboat had a little make over this week & although I wasn’t sure at first I really like it now. My three column layout was so difficult to get (because I’m html illiterate) so I was a bit reluctant to part with it, but I think my new layout is cleaner with more of a theme and an identity. What do you think, do you like it?

How has your week been? I hope it's been a good one!

My first foray into Boohoo Clothing.

Everyone and their dog probably know by now that I love florals,iIn fact I think I love them a little too much. Branching out into clothes that aren’t covered with pretty flowers is something I should probably do at some point. Maybe. My first venture into the world of Boohoo turned out to be a positive one, I’m very happy with my purchases & I thought I'd try and photograph them to see if I'm cut out for doing more fashion based posts.

This first dress is so flattering on my (very) pear-shaped figure because of the elastic just under the bust that accentuates my small waist while skimming over my massive hips.
It's one of those dresses that are easy to throw on with a cute cardigan and some tights on those lazy days we all love. I can see this lasting me all through winter with cosy accessories and into spring & summer next year with light cardigans and sandals.

It’s so versatile and considering it only cost £8, that’s fabulous value for money in my opinion, even for such a basic item.

The lace details on this floral dress just make it that little bit different from the others in my wardrobe.

Again I can see this being just as versatile and lasting through a few different seasons as it's so easy to wear. The lace panel under the bust means this is a flattering dress for my pear shaped figure too which is always a good thing in my book; there’s nothing worse on me than a dress with no shape, I end up looking like a giant blob.

At £8 this was a bit of a bargain I reckon and I love it.

This dress is just adorable; I’m so in love with absolutely everything about it.
There’s a tie at the waist which makes it super flattering as well as cute buttons on the front and pretty cut out bow details on the back. It’s a little shorter than I’m used to but that’s where my trusty leggings come in to save the day.

Whenever I put this on I feel 10 times more confident and secure within myself, which is strange because ultimately, it's just a dress. Maybe it's the bold colour or maybe it's just because it makes me feel pretty but whatever it is, I love it and it makes me happy. Happiness that only cost £8, lovely!

I think I’ve saved my favourite dress for last, although it’s a close call between this & the red floral one, and I imagine it’s one that you'll either love or hate.
It’s pretty far removed from my usual florals but that’s what I was going for. Although I still adore all things floral, which you can see, from my first three dress choices, I do feel like I’m stuck in a bit of a style rut. When I put this on I feel like I’ve fallen out of the 1970’s and I just adore it.

The colours in the print are quite bright which is perfect because it doesn’t wash me out & being pale it’s super easy for that to happen. The three quarter sleeves have an adorable little flare at the end, which I think is a lovely detail & the square neck is flattering on my almost non-existent bust.

Since the print is so bold I’ve been pairing it with a simple black cardigan and leggings although if you have any other suggestions of how I could style this please let me know! At £6 I couldn't not add this to my basket.

Overall I’m very impressed with Boohoo, the quality isn’t absolutely incredible but considering I didn’t pay more than £8 for a single item I don’t think that’s really much of an issue. I sent a couple of items back and although it took a couple of weeks, I had no problems with their refund system either. It was completely hassle free which is what you want when buying online - big thumbs up to Boohoo from me.

Have you ever bought anything from What did you think of them?

Call Center training forging ahead, despite one pull out

January 2012 is the target date

The Call Center Training Facility project is moving forward with January next year the target to start training for this project, which is overseen by the Department of Human Resources, to train some 1,500 residents in the call center industry, according to acting chief procurement officer Ivy Taufa’asau.

In her final decision in September, Taufa’asau awarded the contract for the $1.5 million project to share between California-based American Pacific Resources Inc. (APR) and Honolulu-based  American Samoa Services Associates Corporation (ASSAC) — for both companies to work collaboratively to carry out this project.

However, ASSAC last month informed DHR director Evelyn Vaitautolu Langford that the company was pulling out of the project and all its plans for operating in the territory due mainly to ASSAC’s request for a waiver for a 50/50 match in funds, which they say Gov. Togiola Tulafono declined to do. (See Monday’s edition for more details)

Responding to media questions, Taufa’asau says the project “is still ongoing” and final details of the project are being ironed out with APR with the contract “being processed for their final review and signature.” She said January of 2012 is the anticipated time frame for the project to be launched.

Langford said two weeks ago that DHR anticipates the initial training sessions for this project at the beginning of January 2012 and she was confident in getting the training facility moving forward.

E-mail questions sent to APR official Michael McDonald in September as well as this week remain unanswered. A telephone call Wednesday to McDonald’s cell phone was unsuccessful.

According to the request for proposal, the training facility should be located on Tutuila; be operational within 75 days of the award of the contract; operate for a minimum of eighteen months; provide Call Center training for a minimum of 1,500 people with a priority given to qualified American Samoa National Emergency Grant participants; and show evidence of being able to place its graduates in full-time jobs in the Call Center industry in American Samoa.

Samoa News understands APR is owned by Sen. Alo Stevenson’s daughter, Paula, and her husband Michael McDonald. Unanswered questions to the APR officials include an inquiry as to whether APR is also required to put up a 50/50 match in funds — which in this case, since ASSAC has pulled out, would be for the full cost of the project.

Kalameli Timu passes away in Seattle

Kalameli with her husband Malaki in a Samoa News file photo.

Kalameli Tuitele Malaki Timu passed away at the Washington University Medical Center in Seattle Monday evening. At only 45, she left her mark on many aspects of American Samoa life — daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, journalist and servant of God.

Kalameli’s sister-in-law Mariana Timu-Faiai described Kalameli in a Facebook message, as a warrior and steadfast servant of God, a faithful wife, a loving sister and aunt, a woman of many talents and one who possessed the brain of a genius.

“Not many are given the chance to bid farewell to loved ones. Some have passed without even saying a word, a nod or just an indication of an expression to say the least. I have witnessed all kinds of passing,” said Mrs Faiai.

However with Kalameli, Faiai said she together with all who were in her presence witnessed the love, faithfulness and truthfulness of the Lord.

She further said that Kalameli was given time and she took advantage of it.“She made sure her loved ones were prepared to send her off to be with her Lord and Savior without hesitation.

“She choreographed the entire production with songs, talks and laughter to name a few as we all know she was always so good at that kind of thing. “We cried, laughed, cried again, laughed, joked around and sang her favorite songs.

“We all know that Malaki likes to joke around on her expense but she was still smiling all the way till the end,” said Faiai. She thanked Kalameli’s brothers, the Uti boys for the soothing music and their love for their sister.

On behalf of the Pago Pago Diocese Catholic Church, Chancellor Ivona Mauga said Kalameli was a faithful and loyal servant of the Lord, who was always dedicated and committed to her duties and responsibilities within the church.

Mauga said Deacon Malaki Timu and Kalameli served in many parts of the Diocese of Samoa- Pago Pago.Their latest service was given at the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph the Worker in the village of Faga'alu.

Kalameli was a very talented individual and was the editor of the Diocesan Newsletter, "Talaiga 2000”. Her experience in news media included being an announcer at the old WVUV Radio Station in Vailoa, a reporter for Samoa News, one of the first editors of the Samoan language newspaper, Le Lali, and a newscaster for the government TV station, KVZK.

Kalameli also conducted the 15-minute Catholic Radio Program on KSBS FM.

“She will be missed by so many people, the youth especially will sorely miss her.”

Mauga said Kalameli was fond of singing and dancing and one of the highlights while Kalameli and Malaki as catechists is that they took a Youth Delegation across the world to Spain.

Mauga added that Bishop Quinn Weitzell received a farewell message via email from Kalameli saying,"I luv you Bishop and thanks again for your prayers… Kalameli".

According to Mauga, Kalameli married Malaki on December 13, 1988.

Mauga said Kalameli was commissioned a lifetime, full time Catechist for the Diocese of Samoa – Pago Pago on July 18, 1998, and they served at the St. Peter Chanel Fagasa Aulotu and Co-Cathedral Parish of St. Joseph the Worker, Fagatogo. On February 14, 2000 they were appointed as the Administrators for Christ the King Parish.

Kalameli served with her husband as director of Youth for Central District and she served on the Diocesan Youth Advisory Board for a year. She also served as Diocesan Audio/Visual Consultant and represented the Diocese at the International level.

In 2004 Kalamei was appointed Chairperson of Commissioned lifetime full time Catechists (Servants of the Lord) and three years later appointed as Chaplain for the L.B.J. Medical Center at Faga’alu.

In 2009 Kalameli was then assigned to be the Director of Diocesan Youth and in the same year she and her husband then served at the Holy Family Aulotu, Pava’ia’i, St. Paul Parish- Ili’ili. A year later, she was reappointed to Diocesan Youth Director and they last served at the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph the Worker Parish, Faga’alu Aulotu.

Former Samoa News owner Lewis Wolman said "Kalameli had a great love for the Samoan language and the Samoan people.

“She was a leader in the efforts to broaden the scope of the Samoa News to appeal to a wider range of the community.”

Wolman said Kalameli brought a smile and a laugh to the newsroom every day, and when she left Samoa News, she carried that smile and laughter to all the other places where she helped define what a great Samoan life looks like in the 21st century.

Rate & Review

The Nikon's WR-R10/WR-T10/WR-A10 Wireless Remote Adapter Set use radio frequencies to communicate; by pairing together a WR-T10 and one or more WR-R10 units. The WR-A10 WR Adapter is designed to work with the WR-R10 Wireless Remote Controller (transceiver), allowing it to be connected to select Nikon D-SLRs with a 10-pin connector, to wirelessly control the shutter release. D-SLRs without a 10-pin connector do not need the adapter.

Compatible with: D300S, D3X, D4 D4s, D800, D800E, D810

  • Photographers can use the WR-T10 to simultaneously release the shutter on multiple Nikon D-SLR cameras that have a WR-R10 unit attached and have been paired with the WR-T10.
  • Three radio frequency channels are available for use, to prevent interference when multiple pairings or photographers are shooting in one location.
  • Useful for triggering the shutter remotely when using slower shutter speeds, to prevent camera movement.
  • Range (line of sight) from WR-R10 (used with the WR-A10 WR adapter on select D-SLRs, and acting as a master unit) to WR-R10s is 164 feet (50 meters).
  • One WR-T10 unit can be paired with an unlimited number of cameras with a WR-R10 unit attached.
  • When the WR-R10 is used along with the WR-A10 WR Adapter to connect to select Nikon Digital Cameras with a 10-pin connector, one camera can be designated as “master” and control the shutter release of up to 64 WR-R10 transceiver units.
  • Range (line of sight) from the WR-T10 to WR-R10s is 66 feet (20 meters).
