    The News from 100 Years Ago

    Candidate visits Grove
    Frank H. Mouser of Los Angeles, who is deputy assessor of that county, was in town yesterday meeting friends and gaining new acquaintances. Mr. Mouser is a
    candidate on the Republican ticket for Secretary of State. Mouser is on his return trip home by train to Los Angeles. He is completing a two-month long campaigning tour of northern and central California. In the opinion of this editor, Mr. Mouser stands out as a man of strong personality and a fine gentleman. His qualifications for the position he hopes to attain are endorsed by the most prominent men of Southern California. We in Monterey county should get behind him1.
    This gentleman is assured of making a strong running.

    Dan DeQuille books at Chautauqua2
    Arrangements have been made with the American Publishing Company for Mr. Dan DeQuille’s literary properties to be available for purchase by attendees at this
    year’s Chautauqua Institute. DeQuille is well-known as a writer. As a young man, he moved to Nevada from West Liberty, Iowa, and was employed by the Territorial Enterprise newspaper in Virginia City under the mentoring of Editor Joseph Goodman.
    He is considered an authority on the state of Nevada and the Northern Paiute Indian tribe. He has contributed considerable to awareness of the past and of the wild west on both sides of our continent. This enterprising author wrote numerous books and a considerable number of articles and columns that continue to be admired for humorous content. After the Enterprise ceased publication in 1893, DeQuille returned to West Liberty in ill health where he resided with a daughter until his death on the 16th day of March in 1898.
    More about the contents of DeQuille’s various writings will be published as available.

    Sewer going in
    Pacific Grove trustees have approved letting a contract for work on a six-inch, vitrified-iron, stone-pipe sewer along the center of Third street from Laurel avenue to Pine avenue. This vote is identified as Resolution No. 1571 and is entitled “Resolution of Intention: Construction of sewer.”
    The City Clerk has published this resolution, as required by law. The Superintendent of Streets duly posted notices of the law at locations about the Grove.
    The Clerk stated that no objections or complaints of any kind have been received. Work is expected to begin as soon as bids are reviewed and the contract is let.

    Monterey post office block purchased
    Mr. James Martin of Monterey has purchased from Colonel E. A. Preble, Pacific Grove, the entire post office block in the old capital city of Monterey.
    Besides the post office block, there are two additional blocks on which are positioned various stores. These are included in the parcel. Col. Preble stated that he sold his Monterey property to gain hard capital to invest in his cigar-manufacturing business which is located in San Francisco.

    Grove directory now available
    The Pacific Grove Review has just issued the first directory of Pacific Grove. The booklet is now ready for delivery to advertisers, and will be provided to residents in
    the near future. The price of this very valuable directory is 10¢. Call for your copy at the Review office on Lighthouse.

    1 Grammar at the turn of the past century strictly dictated that proper nouns be capitalized and common nouns not. Monterey got the nod as a proper noun; county failed to acquire that honor. The same applied to most street names, such as Cherry street. A grammar book of the era indicates that this distinction can be made by determining whether the word in question can be used alone.
    Thus … “at Cherry” would be proper. “…at street,” common.

    2 Dan DeQuille was the tongue-in-cheek byline of writer William Wright. A mildly stalwart supporter of the South, Dan and another Southern sympathizer turned writer, Samuel Clements, became companions and DeQuille served as Cement’s mentor. It was DeQuille who encouraged Clements to chose and write under a byline, which Clements did, first as Josh and later as Mark Twain. DeQuille authored several history books including A History of the Comstock Silver Lode Mines which was published in pocket size for sale to passengers on stage coaches and aboard passenger trains.

Plastic makes it possible: Indeed, "every three seconds another
house in North America is sided with vinyl," reads the opening title to
Judith Helfand's HBO documentary Blue Vinyl. Tacky, yes, and
sinister. After Helfand's had her 100 minutes with you – visiting PVC-making
plants and the diseased neighbors who live near them, consorting with legal
muckrakers who've exposed manufacturers' schemes to keep the public uninformed
about PVC's dangers to the environment, and getting intimate with former PVC
workers dead or dying from exposure to toxic goo – those words are below-zero
chilling. At Sundance this past year, Helfand, the Michael Moore of the moment,
supplemented the frightening take-home message with cheerful handmade
tchotchkes – the actual vinyl from her parents' Long
Island home, now being recycled as the pendants on Mardi
Gras-beaded necklaces. Lately, Helfand's turned the revelations into a road
show, which hit town earlier this week at the Oakland Museum – as a
collaborative effort with Bay Area Cancer Coalition, the Center for
Environmental Health, Greenaction, Healthcare without Harm, and the Healthy
Building Network – and continues with community-based screenings throughout the
month. The Bay Area comes across in the film as a utopian paradise of
recycling, featuring local homes made with recycled license plates and experts
in straw-bale home manufacture, but these screenings, organized with the help
of Blue Vinyl coproducer and Bay Area resident Julia D. Parker, are
targeting populations affected by toxic processing in their neighborhoods, as
well as green builders and their friends. Look out for Blue Vinyl at a
May 6 screening at the Shields Reid Community Center, near north Richmond's oil
refineries; a May 9 screening at the Natural Step Sustainability Conference, at
Cowell Theater in Fort Mason Center; a May 15 screening and panel discussion
with architects, designers, and members of Planners for Social Responsibility
and Healthy Building Network, at the Pacific Energy Center in downtown San
Francisco; and other to-be-determined events at the end of May and in early
June in Hunters Point, west Oakland, and Redwood City. For more information

'Teen Mom OG' star Ryan Edwards arrested and charged with heroin possession

By Christine Estera|

This is his second arrest in four months

Reality star Ryan Edwards has been busted again for heroin possession.

According to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office in Tennessee, the Teen Mom OG star was arrested on Monday and charged with simple possession of the controlled substance.

The 30-year-old -- who has starred in the MTV series with ex-girlfriend Maci Bookout since it premiered in 2009 -- is currently being held in the Hamilton County Jail without bond and will appear in court on August 6.

(Hamilton County Sheriff's Office)

In March, TMZ reported that Edwards was also arrested after "cops executed a warrant for violating probation" stemming from another heroin-related charge. This arrest came just one day after he and current wife -- and Teen Mom OG co-star -- Mackenzie Standifer, 21, announced they were expecting their first child together. Edwards already has a 9-year-old son, Bentley, with 26-year-old Bookout.

"It was related to his charge last year before he went to rehab," a source told E! News of that arrest. "This is not anything new. It's not a new arrest for heroin. That was his original charge last April."

Even before this recent development, MTV reportedly had had enough of Edwards and his troubled ways, and have asked him and Standifer to leave the popular reality show.

"We're not returning to Teen Mom this season," Standifer announced just one day prior to her husband's arrest on Monday. "The network told us they don't want to show Ryan as a recovering addict."

'The Bachelorette Australia': Are Ali Oetjen and Taite Radley still together?

By Áine Ryan|

Thursday night's Bachelorette Australia finale saw Ali Oetjen declare her love for Taite Radley.

But the episode was filmed in September, and Taite was recently spotted in Fiji, leaving people wondering if he was preparing to film Bachelor in Paradise Australia. So everyone has been asking: are Ali and Taite still together?

The answer is yes.

Both Ali and Taite have since shared adorable Instagram selfies.

"You're the reason why I have been so happy," Taite announced on Thursday night, after the finale aired. "Now everybody knows. I love you and I can't imagine a day I won't."

"These past couple of months have been so hard," Ali shared on her own Instagram. "Long distance plus keeping us a secret plus how over the moon I am. I've never been more spiritually, emotionally, physically connected and in love. You light up my world beautiful."

The pair have also given a joint interview to The Daily Telegraph

"I love him so much," Ali told the outlet on Thursday night.

"I tell Ali every day that I love her because I do," added Taite. "Our relationship starts now. We've been hiding it for so long, so to physically be with each other we can explore the world and do everything that normal couples get to do."

Then, on Friday morning, the loved-up couple appeared on KIIS 1065's The Kyle & Jackie O Show to share more about their relationship.

"It's hard to put a finger on it," Ali said of when she knew Taite was The One. "I mean the connection that we formed on our first date was amazing, electrifying. From there it just built and built, and meeting him family, and then him meeting my family... so since then."

They said they hadn't had any disagreements and had "about three little get-togethers" between the filming of the finale and now. "I feel like I'm falling more and more in love with him each day," Ali said. The only thing she doesn't love about him? His snoring.

With Ali based in Adelaide and Taite living in Melbourne, the couple say they're now thinking about moving in together "as soon as possible."

An Topoisomerase TGF-beta cancer research Shop Dashboard Widget

While in the context of purified proteasome, this peptide aldehyde is a certain inhibitor of your trypsin like web sites.

Peptide aldehydes inhibit Topoisomerase serine, cysteine, and threonine proteases. We reasoned that changing the aldehyde in leupeptin which has a really proteasomespecific epoxyketone to generate Ac LLR amc would do away with reactivity with lysosomal cysteine proteases, retain specificity on the trypsin like sites, rather than alter cell permeability of the compound. The design and style with the 2nd compound, NC 012, is dependant on the sequence of the finest substrate in the trypsin like site we developed earlier. The 3rd inhibitor, NC 022 has the exact same left handed peptide fragment as the peptide vinyl ester inhibitor in the trypsin like sites reported from the literature that lacked inhibitory activity in our hands. We chose this fragment mainly because it was optimized to enhance specificity in the direction of these web-sites.

In order to allow the synthesis with the epoxyketone derivatives of arginine, we have modified the established Topoisomerase process to the synthesis of leucine epoxyketones to permit for right safety of the guanidine practical group during the procedure. We at first evaluated the proteasome inhibitory prospective of our compounds on purified 26S proteasomes from rabbit muscular tissues. All a few are powerful and unique inhibitors of the trypsin like web-sites. NC 012, as anticipated for your compound derived in the best substrate, was probably the most powerful and unique inside the series. Upcoming we handled NCI H929 many myeloma cells with these compounds overnight and established their proteasome inhibition profile.

NC 002 and NC 022 specially inhibited trypsin like activity at sub micromolar concentrations, but substantially larger concentrations of NC 012, quite possibly the most strong TGF-beta inhibitor of the purified enzyme, were needed to attain inhibition in reside cells. We attribute this lessen in potency with dwell cells to poor cell permeability. For cell permeable compounds, maximal inhibitory effect was accomplished inside six?ten h after addition of NC 022 or NC 002. Importantly, NC 002, the epoxyketone derivative in the cysteine protease inhibitor leupeptin, does not inhibit lysosomal cysteine proteases. Multiple myeloma cells convey constitutive proteasomes and immunoproteasomes, and substrates applied for your measurement of activity are cleaved by both. To find out whether there are actually any differences in inhibition of constitutive proteasomes or immunoproteasomes by NC 002, NC 012, and NC 022 we applied the fluorescent activitybased probe MV 151 within a label competitors experiment.

Extracts of TGF-beta RPMI 8226 MM cells have been handled to start with together with the NC inhibitors and then together with the MV 151 probe. This was followed by fractionation on SDS Web page to separate proteasome subunits and by imaging to reveal people subunits labeled through the probe. All three inhibitors blocked modification of B2 and B2i sites with the probe to a comparable extent. Thus, we conclude that NC 002, NC 012, and NC 022 are equipotent inhibitors of your trypsin like websites of constitutive and immunoproteasomes.

Spring Cleaning: What do you do with items you don't want?

Apr 23, 2018

Spring is here – with the rain, the sun, the breeze and the flowers. Time open the windows, turn up the tunes and get to spring cleaning!

But as you do your cleaning, you inevitably come across items that you no longer like, need or use. What do you do with them? Divide them into piles: throw out and donate. Items that are broken, in disrepair and generally scuzzy should be tossed. Items that are still in good quality but you no longer use or wear can be donated to The Salvation Army.

Here are the top five items needed at Salvation Army Family Stores:

1. Clothes

Clean, gently used clothes of all sizes are always in need. Please make sure they are in good repair (no rips, missing buttons, holes, etc.) and washed.

2. Accessories

Purses, shoes, belts, scarves and everything you’d need to complete that killer ensemble.

3. Toys

Children grow out of toys almost as quickly as they grow out clothes. There’s always another good home waiting for that truck or stuffed animal.

4. Craft Supplies

No longer have time for making scrapbooks or dried flower arrangements? Somebody is looking for that perfect ribbon, thread, glitter pen or scrapbook template.

5. Small Housewares

Coffee makers, toasters, blenders can take up space on your counter and vacuum cleaners get traded in for the newest model. Help them find a new home through The Salvation Army.

After you make sure everything is clean and packed up, you can call 1-800-SA TRUCK or visit www.satruck.org to schedule a pick up or find your nearest site for drop off.

Remember your donations are tax deductible, use our donation value guide.

Proceeds from items sold in The Salvation Army Family Stores benefit the Adult Rehabilitation Center which helps adults in the grip of addiction find help, hope and a second chance at life.

The Archetypical Evil Empire of Rebels and Saints is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Doctor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.306 billion people are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint City. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient living economy, worth 602 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 139,819 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, all the playground's a stage for living schoolchildren, nations that kill a person can expect a strongly worded letter, and murderers with law degrees can be seen swinging the gavel in courts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rebels and Saints's national animal is the fer-de-lance, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Technotheology.

Rebels and Saints is ranked 19,704th in the world and 2nd in United Nations of Liberalia for Most Developed, scoring 83.02 on the Human Development Index.

Perspective, no. 2022-2 - Narrative(s)

Organization: Institut national d'histoire de l'art
Categories: Literary Theory, Aesthetics, Cultural Studies, History
Event Date: 2021-07-01 Abstract Due: 2021-07-01

The journal Perspective’s thematic issue 2022 – 2 will explore the relationships between narration, art and art history. From the stories that inspire images and art objects, to those (re)constituted by its viewers, to the “story-telling” of art historians, this issue is intended to make use of the act of narrating as a productively destabilizing heuristic tool. Even in the absence of figured diegetic content, the image and the art object narrate, if only as witnesses of an era or practices, as vehicles of narrativity. The resulting visual narratives in turn generate other narratives: fictions or legends, scholarly articles or fanciful ramblings, dialogues between artworks or viewers’ monologues. And art historical narratives as well, given that art historians continuously recount the process performatively, with its multiple mises en abyme and comings and goings in the grey areas between fact and fiction, expression and narration, description, analysis, and projection.

The historical place of the terminology of narrative within the field of literary studies also calls for examining the relationship between a narrative in images and its possible written sources. Does representing a story in images amount to imitating the textual narrative or faithfully reproducing its dramaturgy for the eye? What are the possibilities of visual narrativity relative to those of verbal language? The debt of figurative representation to its source has prompted a variety of responses from researchers in art history, some of whom posit the primacy of the written over the visual. Here, the concept of figurative thought (Pierre Francastel, La figure et le lieu : l’ordre visuel du Quattrocento, Paris, Gallimard, 1967) permits a distinction between two equally valid conceptual domains, where each narrative medium has its own logic. This dialectical approach, which connects the narrative image to its cultural environment, then opens the way to multiple interactions and reformulations, in particular through orality and a dialogue between the  collective imaginary, individual imaginaries, and visual culture (Hans Belting, An Anthropology of Images: Picture, Medium, Body [2001], Princeton / Oxford, Princeton University Press, 2011). In methodological terms, the emergence of narratology within French literary theory in the 1970s (Gérard Genette, Figures III [1972], selections translated as Narrative Discourse, An Essay in Method, Ithaca, NY, Cornell University Press, 1980) provided a body of conceptual tools for renewing the study of the internal mechanisms of the literary narrative, in particular through the distinction between histoire (story), récit (narrative text) and narration (narrating act). The possible influence, or not, of this approach on the theoretical frameworks used in art history to analyze the narrative elements of the artwork or the image merits further consideration. And the same is true for the connections between visual, linguistic, and semiotic studies.

The figured narrative calls on a wide variety of visual means for shaping and spatializing narrative content through still and moving images (analog or digital), architecture, fashion, or art objects.  Each work produced – monument, dress, painting, sculpture, film, book, digital interface, art object – requires a match between the narrative in images and its medium, dimensions and volume so as to fashion its visual effectiveness and reception by judiciously condensing or expanding it. Giving visual form to the narrative is also a means of fashioning or recounting its time In sum, this issue of Perspective seeks to take into account all the narrative dimensions, specificities, and potentialities of art objects and works and explore the way(s) the narrativity of the visual is rooted in a lengthy process of legitimization and empowerment.

If the image and the art object narrate, art historians in turn continuously provide a dialogical account of this multifaceted relationship as a kind of story within the story. The history of art, rooted in the works of Giorgio Vasari and Karel van Mander (considered as its modern founders), is based on a narrative exercise, from the ekphrasis of Antiquity to the epic narratives of modernist autonomy, but also anecdotes and biographical legends. The way art historians have forged their discipline by freeing themselves from a willfully mythical literary practice and gradually adopting, fashioning, and discussing “scientific” methods bears witness to a complex relationship with the narrative and narration – otherwise stated, a kind of fiction. Some recent historiographical studies have focused on the question of these close ties between the writing of history and that of fiction. Mark Ledbury, in the collective work Fictions of Art History (Williamstown, Mass., Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute / Yale University Press, 2013), Ivan Jablonka with History Is a Contemporary Literature: Manifesto for the Social Sciences [2014] (Ithaca, NY, Cornell University Press, 2018), and more recently, Myriam Métayer and Adriana Sotropa, the editors of Le récit de l’histoire de l’art. Mots et rhétoriques d’une discipline (Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, Éditions Esthétique du divers, 2017), for example, have offered fruitful insights. Is it possible to write history without telling stories? From the point of view of the images and art objects or that of the viewers, can – or should – we forego any narrative process? Can we communicate without narrating (or narrating ourselves)? If this is not the case, what epistemological conclusions can be drawn about the way we consider our practice – our writing – of art history? In the era of “alternative facts” and storytelling, when the question of the relative nature of narratives is both a considerable risk and an opportunity, raising question about the making of narrative, the way that art and art history narrate (and narrate themselves), ultimately implies a return to teleological issues: what has meaning, what gives meaning, what creates meaning?

The appearance of an image, be it figurative, aniconic, material, or mental, gives rise to a story and a way of arranging it into a narrative. But does the absence of figuration signify the absence of narrative? For in the same way, the appearance of the image, be it material or mental, figurative or aniconic, gives rise to a desire to narrate. While no one will deny that the image and the narrative act go hand in hand, the precedence of one over the other remains an eternal subject of debate, as are the relaying and embedding processes that engender them, from the time of the paragone to modernist discourse predicting the end of narrative artworks. For the upcoming thematic issue, these different oppositions and complex transmission phenomena can be approached from a variety of vantage points, provided that the analysis is situated within a historiographical perspective addressing the narrative processes at work in the creation and reception of art from the origins to the present day, from symbolic Paleolithic expressions to contemporary cinema. For this reason, specific case studies bearing on iconographic analyses will not be accepted unless they raise broader critical questions.

Proposals involving one or several of the following approaches will be particularly welcome:

  • Artists telling stories;
  • Artists telling their own stories (authorized accounts, etc.);
  • Historians recounting the life of the artist (from Vasari to Ernst Kriz and Otto Kurz);
  • Historians telling the story of visual narratives (iconography, iconology, interpretation, etc.);
  • Synchronic narratives of art history (the “great” movements, the “master” narratives);
  • Counter-narratives and re-narrated art historical narratives (historiography, fictionalization);
  • The place and possibility of a collective and/or participatory narrative within the discipline;
  • The socio-political consequences and echos of art-historical narratives and counter-narratives (activism, societal debates).

Perspective : actualité en histoire de l’art

Published by the Institut national d’histoire de l’art (INHA) since 2006, Perspective is a biannual journal which aims to bring out the diversity of current research in art history through a constantly evolving approach that is explicitly aware of itself and its own historicity and articulations. It bears witness to the historiographical debates within the field, while remaining in continuous relation with the images and works of art themselves, updating their interpretations, and thus fostering global, intra- and interdisciplinary reflection. The journal publishes scholarly texts which offer innovative perspectives on a given theme. These may be situated within a wide range, yet without ever losing sight of their larger objective: going beyond any given case study in order to interrogate the discipline, its methods, history and limitations, while relating these questions to topical issues from art history and neighboring disciplines that speak to each of us as citizens.

Perspective invites contributors to update their historiographical material and the theoretical questionings from which they draw their work, to think from and around the starting point of a precise question, an assessment that will be considered an epistemological tool rather than a goal in itself. Each article thus calls for a new approach creating links with the great societal and intellectual debates of our time.

Perspective is conceived as a disciplinary crossroads aiming to encourage dialogue between art history and other fields of research, the humanities in particular, and put into action the “law of the good neighbor” developed by Aby Warburg.

All geographical areas, periods, and media are welcome.

I have always loved historical fiction novels, but I have to say that Ann Rinaldi's books are some of the best ones that I have ever read. My favorite of her books that I have read so far is probably this one. Not only is it on a historical subject that I am already intrigued with, but Ann does an amazing job of bringing the characters and events to life. The description above does not do the book justice, and I think that everyone should give this book (or at least one of her novels) a try! :)

Herb-Seasoned Snack Crackers

Melissa was exploring Pinterest recently when she came across a recipe from The Finer Things in Life.

The recipe reminded her of snacks her mom used to make when she was growing up, so she decided to try the recipe out, only she made a ranch seasoning from scratch. That recipe was based off of one from AllRecipes.com for Dry Ranch Style Seasoning for Dip or Dressing. Melissa adds 2 tablespoons of buttermilk powder to hers.

Now I'm a big fan of these snack crackers; I pile them into my soup like there's no tomorrow. It's the salt. They're usually slightly oversalted for a normal person's palate, but they're perfectly salted for me.

Anyway, the herb-seasoned version is better. A hint of richness from the oil with pops of spring-fresh herbs. From soups to salads to just plain snacks, these crackers offer a delectable combo.

George E. Whittle

Send Condolences

George E. Whittle, 72, a life-long resident of Winchester and Hinsdale died unexpectedly on Tuesday, March 20, 2018 in the comfort of his home.

He was born the son of the late Elizabeth (Howe) and Harold Whittle on May 30, 1945 in Hinsdale. He was educated locally in Hinsdale and Winchester.

George enlisted in the U.S. Army on June 7, 1966 during the Vietnam War. He worked as an Armor Crewman on tanks. He was the recipient of the National National Defense Service Medal. George was honorably discharged at the rank of SP4 / E-4 on June 20, 1968.

On May 13, 1972 he exchanged vows with Rosalie A. Wood at the United Church of Winchester. They were married with family and friends in attendance and have been married for forty-five years.

George worked as a machine tender at the Ashuelot Paper Company for many years until they closed. He then worked at Keene State College (Unicco) for several years before going to work for Cheshire Medical Center in the Environmental Services department until 2008 when he retired. George wasn’t happy sitting idle so he took a part time position with Cheshire Cleaning and also accepted a part time position for the Town of Winchester as their crossing guard. He was their dedicated crossing guard for ten years, up until the day he passed away. He also was a faithful volunteer at Mary Queen of Peace food ministry.

George had many interests over the years. He enjoyed playing cribbage, horse shoes, fishing and bird watching. Time was spent playing games on his computer. He liked to watch NASCAR, the New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox and his favorite team was the Oakland Raiders. He was also very social. He had many friends of various generations. George was well loved by the children of the community for being a crossing guard. He always gave fist bumps, smiles, handshakes and good mornings to the kids and passers by while working.

George is survived by his wife Rosalie of Winchester, his daughter, Amy Whittle, and a grandson, Caleb Whittle, both of Swanzey. His many siblings; Harold Whittle of Hinsdale, Norman Whittle and his wife Mary of Hinsdale, Maryann Benoit of Lebanon, ME, John Whittle and his wife Ann of Hinsdale, David Whittle and his wife, Jan of Brattleboro, VT, and Donna Sabin of Hinsdale. His sister-in-law Connie Holmes and her husband Ray of Winterville, N.C. In addition, he leaves aunts, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. George is pre-deceased by stepfather, Wilbur Sprague, and his godchild and niece, Tricia Whittle who passed in 2008.

In keeping with George’s wishes there are no calling hours. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, March 31, 2018 at 11 am at the United Church of Winchester, located at 97 Main St. in Winchester, NH. 03470. Burial will be announced later and take place in the warmer weather at Evergreen Cemetery, in the family lot with military honors. Donations can be made in memory of George E. Whittle to: Gary A.

Relaxing whilst doing Competition Law is not an Oxymoron

Materials from the Chillin’Competition conference

leave a comment »

We had a very good time at the conference last week thanks to all the attendees, to the speakers,  to the sponsors, to our friends from We Exist (who made it to Commissioner Vestager’s Twitter account; see here) and thanks also to the wine tasting at the end.  The Commissioner delivered a great speech, was open to all sorts of questions and also teased us online about our long hashtag – we are Twitter novices…-,  admittedly, that was the least she could do considering that I had faked one of her tweets in my intro; see here.

It was a full day of interesting ideas (some of which are seldom voiced out) and nice people.  The only regrettable incidents were some isolated fights for the Ryan Gosling meme mugs…

In the coming days we will post here a photo gallery, videos of some sessions and guest posts from speakers.

For the time being, below are most of the presentations used at the conference. Philip Marsden’s and Mark Powell’s  much-taked-about masterpiece slide decks are not included, but you will see videos of their much-talked-about presentations.

CFPB Debt Collection Town Hall Meeting Discussion on the Pending Debt Collection Rulemaking!

CFPB Debt Collection Town Hall Meeting Discussion on the
Pending Debt Collection Rulemaking!

Will changes to regulations governing debt collection increase or weaken protections for consumers? PCDC Program Manager Ping Lee attended Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) Debt Collection Town Hall Meeting, which was held in Philadelphia. A panel of experts representing consumers and collection professionals talked about the rules governing how debt collectors contact and communicate with consumers. The CFPB is a government agency established to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices and issued.

The CFPB proposed the following rules on the debt collection practices, which requires final approval after reviewing comments from the public.
1) In general, limit debt collectors to no more than seven attempts by telephone per week to reach a consumer about a specific debt; once a conversation takes place, the debt collector must wait at least one week before calling again;
2) Require debt collectors to send consumers a disclosure with information about the debt and explain protections for the consumer;
3) Clarify the debt collector’s use of new technology to communicate with consumers including providing required disclosures. Consumers can be protected by limiting the ability of debt collectors to use certain technology; and
4) Prohibit the debt collector from suing or threatening to sue a consumer to collect a debt if the debt collector knows that the time period to sue the consumer has passed.

Both consumer advocates and collection professionals criticized the proposal at the town hall meeting. Debt collection professionals disagreed with the “one size fits all” rules on communicating with consumers. They offered several arguments for their criticism: 1) the response rate of consumers are different; 2) the age of outstanding debt varies; 3) the proposal needs to address consumers who want to pay; and 4) legitimate collectors utilize a wide array of approaches to resolving debts.

Consumer advocates largely viewed the rulemaking as a missed opportunity to protect consumers and offered the following criticisms: 1) the proposal allowed too much communication; 2)the implicit disclosure of debts to third parties should not be allowed; 3) debt collectors should be required to obtain consumer consent before using technology such as hyperlink electronic communications, because not all consumers can access information through that medium; and 4) consumer protections are weakened regarding the collection of time-barred debt. Consumer advocates also generally criticized the CFPB for dropping 2016 proposals, including a statement of rights and specific information about what will happen with a debt after the initial 30-day dispute period has passed.

The proposed rule can be found at: The public is invited to submit written comments on the proposed rule by August 19th, 2019. Comment can be submitted in the Federal Register:

This was an eye opening experience for Ping. There are so many regulations and rules to protect consumers from debt collectors, but consumers do not know their rights. PCDC is bringing legal professionals from Community Legal Services (CLS) to share their knowledge at a legal panel at our annual EXPO event on Saturday June 1st.

The system disables the engine, if someone tries to break into your car with out a legitimate key. So even when someone enters the automobile, they won’t have the ability to drive off.

Discounts erode automakers’ profits but GM said the average transaction price for its vehicles rose $740 from November to $36,386 in December, reflecting in part strong sales of large SUVs such as the Chevrolet Tahoe. That is important to investors because Detroit’s automakers make the bulk of their global profits from sales of trucks and SUVs in North America.

An attention-grabbing new supply of pricing information for brand new vehicles is You can specify the car and choices you are interested in and access knowledge on the sale price for similar autos. This data is predicated on automobile registration databases and information from financial institutions that make vehicle loans. The key is to seek out out the price that dealers are getting for the car you need so you don’t overpay. You can get a certificates for a guaranteed price from a vendor. gets $300 from the seller when the car is offered through this program.

Demand for brand spanking new vehicles is slowing after seven consecutive years of rising sales. Meanwhile, carmakers’ discounts on new autos have surpassed report levels set in the course of the Great Recession. Those discounts have been averaging over 10 percent of a brand new vehicle’s common promoting value, in keeping with industry consultants J.D. Power and LMC Automotive.

@fogoftruth Episode 804: MISS AMERICANA and NARROWSBURG

How high above us soar the stars, enchanting with their blazing glory! Or perhaps we only project such power onto them, and they are merely ordinary beings, elevated by our own desires. In today’s episode, guest host Leslie Combemale (the Cinema Siren, herself) joins us as we review the new Taylor Swift biopic Miss Americana, which just premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and is now available on Netflix. In addition, Chris interviews director Martha Shane about her documentary Narrowsburg, a tragicomic tale of grifters bedazzling a small town with promises of Hollywood glory. Listen in for a look at the pros and cons of fame and fortune. As always, you can find the audio of the episode on our “episodes” page, on Apple Podcasts and other sites.

Now, I don't go to church, my family stopped when I was like 8 (I'm 13), the church near me, that didn't have a raping problem and was Christian(not Catholic even though that is Christian), was a super church. It didn't really teach me much, since I was little I went with the other little kids, we only watched Veggietales and colored. We really didn't like that it used fast food and drink places, like Starbucks, to attract people since that isn't what church is about to us. I did learn what ellipses were though.

So, I didn't really know what Jesus looked like except the pictures in my grandma's house. The Jesus in her house had (idk if she has them in her new house) a black guy with thick hair and then one with lighter skin, very long hair, and a long beard.

I asked her which one was really Jesus and she said that she said that she thinks that the black one is since nowadays they don't portray peoples' colors correctly and that we were the first people. She has both because she likes to have more than one thing portraying Jesus, even though it isn't the right one to her, she still knows who it is supposed to be. (Her church is a black church and the booklets portray Jesus as black)

I have even seen Jesus with white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes and for some reason, I don't really like it since it seems fake.

My question is, which Jesus is right? And for the wrong ones, do you know why they changed them or did God make it so Jesus could be seen differently for different people?

What did Jesus look like?

While the Bible doesn't give any detailed information as to Jesus' appearance, let's look at the facts:

  • Jesus was born of a Jewish woman, therefore he would have the characteristics of that particular nationality. He would blend in with the local people without standing out amongst a crowd. (John 7:10,11)
  • Jesus' hair would have been longish, probably around the shirt collar, but not long like that of women (1 Cor. 11:14)
  • Jesus would have a beard as was the custom for those following the Law of Moses (Lev. 19:27)
  • Being a carpenter for a time, Jesus had the physical traits of someone that did intensive labor. Let's not forget that Jesus did lots of walking during his 3 1/2 year ministry. (Matt. 9:35)

Some people have argued that Jesus was of African descent because of the description of Jesus in Revelation 1:14, 15. But the book of Revelation was presented "in signs" (Rev. 1:1) to the Apostle John, so the description of Jesus would have symbolic meanings. Take for example that Revelation also describes Jesus as having feet of bronze or copper (Rev. 1:15), but there is no race that has skin color like in that description.

Some people say that Jesus was weak or frail. Jesus was a man of action like when he overturned the tables of the moneychangers in the Temple. (John 2:14, 15) The only time Jesus needed help was after he had been whipped and beaten by Roman soldiers. (Luke 23:26)

If you would like more information on this topic, read the article "What Did Jesus Look Like?" on jw.org. This is just one of several "Bible Questions Answered".

  • Yes, the Transfiguration did affect his appearance but this was for a short time and it happened several decades after his birth. Therefore, for the majority of his life, Jesus would have had the Semitic features of his birth mother. – agarza Nov 1 '20 at 14:08

Jesus looked the same for everyone.

did God make it so Jesus could be seen differently for different people?

I'll address this part of your question, since agarza has addressed what Jesus actually looked like based on Biblical sources.

In essence, no, Jesus looked the same for everyone. During his life on Earth, Jesus had a fully human body of flesh and blood. While his facial features were supernaturally transformed during his Transfiguration, he still remained fundamentally human.

1 John 4:2-3

By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess 1that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

If Jesus had a flesh-and-blood human body, then it would have interacted with the world the same way every other flesh-and-blood human body does; it would have reflected light the same way our bodies do, and it would have appeared the same to everyone the same way our bodies do - though the interpretation of the light Jesus's body might have varied from person to person, the same way that two different people can look at the same thing and interpret it differently based on differences in their personal experiences and contexts.

  • 1
    "While his facial features were supernaturally transformed during his Transfiguration" This is a big claim that you need to justify. – curiousdannii Nov 1 '20 at 14:11
  • @curiousdannii Luke 9:29. "As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning." – nick012000 Nov 1 '20 at 14:13
  • 2
    The parallel account at Matt. 17:2 tells us "his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light." So, Jesus' face changed in that it began to glow. If his face was to have physically altered, the Biblical record would have given evidence that those seeking to kill him would not be able to recognize him after the Transfiguration. – agarza Nov 1 '20 at 19:51

Low(er) Glycemic Carrot Hazelnut Cake

I'm currently taking a series of classes at the Eureka Co-op in regional French cooking with local chef Alex Begovic. In our last class Alex made a simple carrot cake for dessert, unadorned with pineapple or other too-sweet detractions. Just lots of carrots plus chopped hazelnuts. It was delicious, the flavors were perfect, it wasn't too sweet, and I was determined to take the recipe home, up the fiber and lower the glycemic impact. I think I did a pretty good job. The cake came out moist and delicate despite the large chunks of hazelnut you see in the photo. And the carrots fairly sing their presence. A very nice nosh to have with your afternoon tea.

Low(er) Glycemic Carrot Hazelnut Cake
Adapted from a recipe by Alex Begovic
2 cups shredded carrots
2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2/3 cup white whole wheat flour
1 cup Splenda Granular (or 1/2 cup Splenda-Sugar Blend)*
1 cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped (husks removed, see Cook's Notes)**
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
3 eggs (I used 2 large and 1 x-tra large)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt (fine kosher is best)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter a 12x8 glass baking dish and set aside.
Using the fine shredding disc on a food processor, shred enough peeled carrots to equal 2 cups. (I shredded too many carrots, the excess of which ended up in this soup.)
Whisk all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl, the hazelnuts will go in later.
In a small bowl whisk the eggs until blended then whisk in the melted butter, a little at a time so you don't cook the eggs.
Stir the egg-butter mixture into the dry ingredients until blended.
Stir the shredded carrots and the chopped hazelnuts into the batter until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Alex said it should cook for a full 35 minutes, but mine was done within thirty.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes then loosen the edges with a spatula and turn out on a board. Flip the cake right side up and set on a rack to cool.
This can be served warm or at room temperature, with whipped cream or without. It goes especially well with Simona's orange ice cream. You'll have to ask her to post it though. ;)

Cook's Notes:
*If you're not a Splenda user, 1 cup of sugar is what Alex used in his cake.

**Please notice the measurement here. Measure 1 cup of hazelnuts THEN chop them.
To toast and husk hazelnuts, place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet in a 350 degrees oven for no more than 15 minutes or until you can smell the nuts. Immediately remove the nuts from the oven and pour onto a clean terrycloth kitchen towel. Enclose the nuts in the towel and rub them vigorously until most of the husk has been removed.

I used 2 large eggs and 1 extra-large egg because that's what I had on hand. They worked well in this cake because I used white whole wheat flour for one-half of the flour called for, and it's been my experience that this coarser flour needs more moisture. You could up the fiber even more by using 1 cup of the white whole wheat flour and 1/3 cup regular flour or even whole wheat flour. Just remember that you will may need to adjust the eggs to add more moisture. I wouldn't compensate by adding more butter.

This cake may be made vegan by substituting 1/2 cup Earth Balance Stick for the butter and 3 ripe mashed bananas for the eggs.

  1. Christine, that looks very moist and they'd make perfect muffins too!

  2. I agree with Peter. In any case, the cake is really good: you can taste the carrots and the hazelnuts give it a really nice crunch.

  3. Sounds delicious. If only I lived near you guys I'd come over and eat this with you!

  4. Mmm this sounds very tasty, as I've said before I seem to read your blog at the wrong time when I'm thinking about cooking the evening meal and it just makes my mouth water looking at them!!

  5. Oh Christine I'd say you did a beautiful job on this one. Love carrot cakes and yours looks gorgeous good and not so bad for you!!

  6. So sorry to be so late in my replies. This has been a grueling week for me.

    Peter, Muffins!!! Why didn't I think of that? They would be perfect.

    Thank you Simona. They really did go splendidly with your ice cream. ;)

    I would love it if you lived close by Kalyn. Oh the things we could cook!

    Thanks so much Anne. I know you could make these with gluten-free flour.

    Thank you Tanna! That's high praise from a Daring Baker such as yourself. :)

  7. This sounds really good, especially the part about it not being too sweet. I've had carrot cake so heavy on the sweet it nearly made you sick. Add to that the rich, cream cheese frosting that it's usually topped with, and you're off into a sugar spin!

  8. This looks delicious.....lucky you to be taking these classes! You will have many things to share with us now~love the substitution with the splenda!

  9. This cake is right up my alley. I don't like those adorned with too many added sweet things.

  10. Cyn and Cynthia, It sounds like we all agree that overly sweet, gooey carrot cake just doesn't cut it. I'm going to be making this recipe again but doing them as muffins, like Peter has suggested.

    Yes, Jann, I hope to be sharing more recipes from my classes soon.

  11. I would love to take this class with you! This looks good, Christine.

Thank you for stopping by! I will do my best to respond to your comments and questions so feel free to write to me here. Sorry for the comment moderation but it helps to keep the spammers at bay.

Quick-boiled Prawns with Winter-Summer Yellow Pear Tomato, Avocado, Cilantro Guacamole

An invitation to an appetizers potluck party was the inspiration for this recipe. That and the kiwis that had been holding (I thought) in the fridge while we were on the Atlantic seaboard for 2 weeks.
Now I think that kiwi guacamole spritzed with lime juice sounds like a stunning dip to go with prawns. Just not made with overly fermented kiwis. Sigh. Another time perhaps.
As in all cases when one ingredient does not cooperate, you find one that does. The petite organic yellow pear tomatoes that are coming to California from Mexico right now fit the bill. Sweet, tart, not too big a carbon footprint. Our borders do touch, after all.
The avocados are pure California. Organic, buttery smooth and rich, they pair well with the finely diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro notwithstanding. And yes, I do realize how lucky I am to have it growing right now in my northern California coastal garden.
This guac is a wintertime treat, bringing the sunny olé! flavors of summer to brighten our still-gray skies and our chilly tummies. Make it just before you're going to take it to a party or serve to guests.
Be sure to use plenty of sea salt when you boil the prawns, and boil them quickly - blanching really - no more than 1-2 minutes, then get them out of there and into an ice bath.

Definitely a crowd pleaser, this.

Quick-boiled Prawns with Yellow Pear Tomato, Avocado, Cilantro Guacamole
Christine's original recipe
(print recipe)
Makes enough for a crowd of 20 or so

40-60 medium prawns, preferrably USA wildcaught, peeled, tails left on, sandtrack removed*
2 tablespoons sea salt
4 large avocados
1 cup finely diced yellow pear tomatoes
juice from 1 Meyer lemon
1 tablespoon
green garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced, seeded jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
pinch red pepper flakes (more if you like it hotter)

Prep all of your ingredients, except for cutting the avocados, ahead of time.
Have a large bowl of ice and water standing by to receive the cooked prawns.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of sea salt.
Toss the prawns into the boiling water and allow them to blanch for 1 to 2 minutes or until they turn bright pink. Do not overcook them.
Immediately drain the water from the pot and put the prawns in the ice water to stop the cooking. Let the prawns cool then allow them to drain in a collander until ready to use.
While the prawns are cooling and resting, take an avocado and cut it in half lenghthwise. Remove the pit and scoop the pulp into a medium bowl. Repeat with the remaining avocados.
Mash the avocado pulp with the lemon juice until the mixture is buttery but still has some lumps.
Stir in the rest of the ingredients (no, not the prawns) and adjust the salt and seasonings to taste.
Put the finished guacamole in a clear glass bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap down on the top of the guac to keep it from browning.
Arrange the prawns around the guacamole bowl and you're ready to party.

Cook's Notes:To remove the sandtrack from the prawns, I use a sharp knife and make a cut down the back of the prawn from the head to just above the tail. If the sandtrack is still there, this will reveal it and you can pull it out. I've had many a prawn that still had the sandtrack intact. It's your call whether to remove it or not.

Buen provecho!

    Thank you so much Mary. I enjoy your photos and words so much; they are always inspiring.

  5. I've missed you, Christine!

    I have been removing intestines from the bag of raw, frozen shrimp I bought last week that I ordered a deveiner. I did not know it was called a sandtrack in a prawn. Thanks for the info!

  6. I've always called it a sandtrack, Mimi, but I can't recall if I was told that what it's called, or if I just made it up. :)
    I've missed you and all my food blogger friends too, Mimi. I wish there were enough hours in the day/week/month to keep up with everyone. You're in my RSS reader so I read every post you put up. Hope all is well in Wisconsin!

  7. Hi Christine,
    Thanks for commenting on my blog, I love having new friends drop in at the Presbytere.
    The guacamole recipe sounds divine, must try it as soon as the weather warms up.

  8. Good to see you here, Maggie!

  9. Now that mon mari is trying to gain weight we have avocados in the house all the time... This is a great idea - never thought to do guacamole with shrimp.... or to pair kiwifruit with it. Love new ideas.

  10. I found it to be a delightful pairing, Katie. And avocados are so good for you. There's nothing not to love about his. :)

  11. Looks really good

  12. This looks totally amazing...two of my favorite foods! YUM! I am looking forward to meeting you at Camp Blogaway!

    Stockpiling Moms

  13. Hi Melissa,

1 Set 4 Ways - Episode 6 - Bear Hugs

Hello friends! Today I'm bringing you a new episode in my popular 1 Set 4 Ways series, were I show you four different card ideas using one stamp set. It's a great way to see if a stamp set is really as versatile as you hope it will be, by getting full use out of the entire thing in one go.

Today I am featuring a brand new company called Paperie Ink, that I recently found on Instagram and currently sells on Etsy. Since there are no matching dies, I stamped and colored each of the bears and sentiments from Bear Hugs on a separate panel, and trimmed them out with a Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Stackables.

Once I had my focal panels colored and set aside, I began to trim down my Pebbles Hey Hello 6x8 patterned papers using Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle StackablesParty Banners, and Everyday Sentiment Banners. I made four card bases out of Speckled Eggshell cardstock and began to layer the patterned papers until I was happy with the combinations of colors and prints.

I popped up my focal panels with foam tape for a bit of added dimension and finished off the cards with a bit of Crystal Stickles on the flower centers and the bee's wings. And I also did some stamping  on the insides of each card with Lawn Fawn's Doe ink.

To see how these cards came together, click below or watch on YouTube. And don't forget to hit that like button and subscribe if you enjoy it! It really helps me out and I appreciate it so much! I had a lot of fun playing with this set and am looking forward to see what they create next. By the way, this is absolutely not sponsored, I just really fell in love with these cute bears! Have a wonderful day!

Portrait of “Elle”

“Elle” : Pastel on cartridge.  Copyright chriswoodartist 2012 all rights reserved

I did this a few years ago but unearthed it recently and thought I’d share it with you !

I’ll get stuck into some more portraits soon and having beaten a path to my garden shed and my sculpting gear, I’ll also attempt a clay bust. I haven’t done any modelling for a few years so it should be a novel experience !

More later – goodnight all – cheese and an impudent bottle of wine await !

In memoriam for Dave King

‘I am writing a novel
in which no one speaks . . .
every one of my characters
moves like a shadow . . .
As of now, chapters ten,
and to a lesser extent,
maybe, eleven,
seem quite unpenable.’
written by Dave King, excerpts
from WAR AND PEACEfulness

I. Alasdair MacIntyre and Isaiah Berlin will engage in a civilized debate of moral philosophy and value pluralism in the divinely lit library of the hereafter

while it seems improbable
that the two will ever
arrive at the Answer,
hidden within the firestick,

their agreeable natures
ensure a kind exchange
and mutual respect
(as ours did)

II. Postmodern experimentalism encounters a fine intellect and a dashing wit

not only did he meet the bar
he vaulted it rather spryly

III. Anything can happen

unfortunately, it often does
cancerously and suddenly

IV. Stendal, Joyce, Hypatia, Riker, and Woolf toast his life by writing an eternity of allusions

words are like magic,
scintilla, igniting the soul’s spark
Plato’s divine spark longing
to unite with ever more
transcendent forms of beauty

Hypatia approaches the door
only those who’ve transitioned
may enter, opening a gateway,
releasing the fiery cries of seraphs

(I will meet you in the liminal
threshold between your faith
and my fractured metaphysics)

her radical eye encounters his pneuma
perhaps a whisper of which
will live a little here in the poem
as an act of remembrance

V. The consummate performance artist mourns the poet

you walked alongside us
desiring a dream of arctic skies
and ice floes captured in verse

now silk enrobed traces of your artistry
float by, a music, ever passing
as your gentle voice is lost to the wind
