Ephesians 5:13-14

Display Chapter and Footnotes

 13 But all things [sins] reproved are made manifest [revealed] by the light. For whatever reveals is light. [Revealed by the light of the word, Jesus, who reproves every man of sin with light that reveals the sins of his heart to him; the light anonymously pleads with us to cease our evil behavior, but men in their darkness do not comprehend the light. While a man may forget the light's reproving him of his sins, when that man dies, he will see every reproof of God in his lifetime played back vividly and they will be his judge, John 12:47-48; he will remember them all and be ashamed that he ignored the gentle pleadings of his creator.]

 14 Therefore he said, "Awake you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light." [The meaning of dead is: when Adam disobeyed God in the garden, he lost the life of God and was cut off from the tree of life; thus he and all his descendants passed from life (of God) to death in the life of God. So we are dead until we are restored to the Spiritual image of God in all righteousness and holiness, which only occurs in those who have crucified the selfish, sinful spirit within them, which is then replaced by the Spirit of Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. With Christ in us, controlling our words and deeds, we have the Life of God; but not until then. So, Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light. For in him is the Life, and the Life is the light of men; the true light that enlightens all men who come into the world. John 1:4,9.]

Home of the Month - Hampton: Chester Grady

By Marilyn Hackett Moulton

Photography by Peter E. Randall

New Hampshire Profiles, February 1970

Vol. XIX - No. 2 - Pg. 36
HOME OF THE MONTH: Chester Grady

When Chester Grady purchased a one-room beach cottage some thirty years ago for use as a hideaway, even he did not imagine that it would become the nucleus for a home filled with the choice possessions and memorabilia of a man who is a citizen of the world, but a legal resident of Hampton.

Mr. Grady was born in Lakeport, New Hampshire, and as a youth, worked as a waiter at Hampton Beach. It was natural for him to return to this locale in his quest for a summer residence away from New York City where he was, at that time, associated with NBC radio. In partnership with two others, Chester bought the former Palmer boarding house where judge Henry Shute wrote, "The Real Diary of a Real Boy."

Mr. Grady at his work desk in the studio. The stained glass window is originally from the Old Boston Tavern in Scollay Square, Boston.

Situated near the North Shore end of Hampton Beach, the property consisted of a 22-room house, a barn, ice house and surrounding acreage. It was re-named the "Craymore" by its new owners.

Since the boarding house tradition was continued at the Craymore, Chester decided on the purchase of a beach cottage, offered for sale by the Hampton Beach Coast Guard at a price of $60, for use as a private retreat. It was moved to a spot near the pond at the rear of the Craymore. A sunbathing patio was added and from then on, over a period of years, the little cottage grew like "Topsy."

The Confucius sitting atop the
teakwood table is enamel on
copper and was especially
purchased for the Gradys
by John Wannamaker.

The first major addition, bought at auction, was the Little Boar's Head Post Office and it now serves as the formal dining room. The Craymore ice house was "appropriated" for conversion into the master bedroom. By building in and around the three original units, ice house, post office and beach cottage, Grady obtained two bathrooms, a kitchen and an eating area. Later, the sunbathing patio was enclosed to create the dropped living room.

About the time Chester married his late wife, Rae, the Hampton hideaway became a year 'round residence. With the addition of some of Mrs. Grady's furnishings, including the discovery that between them, the Gradys were the proud possessors of eight pressure cookers, space was of the essence. A building separate from the main house was constructed for use primarily as a work and entertainment area and it is here in the studio where Grady spends much of his time in preparing for lectures and writing papers in conjunction with his work with the American Society of Psychical Research (see New Hampshire PROFILES, August '65). He has spent several decades in ESP research both here and abroad. Currently Chester is working on his memoirs.

The magnificent crewel work in the dining room is another example of this unusual gentleman's talent. The design is a museum copy but the subtle tones are individually created. The pine paneling and beamed ceiling is also Grady workmanship, although he has no illusions about being a craftsman in the same category as his father who was a master cabinetmaker.

The floor, where summer residents once stood to get their mail, is now covered by a Royal Sarouk rug and the stamp booths have been replaced with an Italian handcarved walnut dining room set with velvet covered chairs.

The unusual floral designed Wedgwood bowl in the center of the dining table is opalescent. The Mrs. Grady's portrait by Hampton artist Arthur Johnson hangs in the background.

The shuttered closet to the right of the fireplace was originally a window, but rather than board it up or have it open into the living room, the shuttered effect remains. Shelves house what Chester refers to as "family remnants" including pieces of Copper Luster, Chelsea, Venetian glass, Staffordshire, Bristol and some cups dating back at least 150 years. The more unusual pieces include a pair of ornamental trees of semi-precious stones with jade leaves.

The Chinese tapestry on the livingroom wall is done in varying shades on a brilliant blue background and depicts the usage of a ceremonial scepter.

.The step-down living room overlooks the pond and woodsy landscape. Its paneling and soft green broadloom are a perfect backdrop for the striking teakwood furnishings and collection of oriental art objects. At the further end of the room is an authentic hand-carved and gilded opium bed with Chinese red mattress. Above are four gilt framed Chinese silk tapestries and a silk scroll which tells a story in the same manner as an oriental rug. The marble topped teakwood table in front of the bed and the teak chairs are originally from the Summer Palace of Old Buddha, once the home of the Empress of China. At the opposite end of the room is an exceptionally well preserved French tapestry flanked by pair of girandoles with their original wooden replica candles.

Representative of the Ming Period (1384-1644) are two pairs of Grave Horses, an ancestral moss jade tablet and a pair of Chinese white jade scepters -- the symbol of authority -- encased in teak and glass. Other pieces of note in the living room include a French marble topped liquor cabinet that opens on all four sides and assorted chairs and tables from the Louis XIV and XV periods. A hand-painted inlaid pearl fan from Spain, decorated on both sides, was a gift to Mrs. Grady. Tucked in corners and displayed here and there are a variety of interesting objects: A Bohemian punch bowl and tray, a pair of Cornelian vases carved from one piece with semi-precious stones, Dresden sconces and an authentic Napoleonic odd box and ashtray. Mr. Grady is knowledgeable about the history and legends surrounding each of his treasures.

One end of the living room has opium bed and rare incense burner on low teakwood table. The burner is pierced and hand-chiseled with reticulated bands.

The hallway from the living room leads to guest bedrooms and a bath. In the larger twin bedded room, shades of gold predominate in both the velour carpeting and the toille curtains and matching headboard covers. A poudre dress table inlaid with marquetry and framed crewel work peacocks over the beds add interest to the room. Here, as throughout the house, various pieces of original art work are displayed. Numbered among them is a Grady "primitive."

An Italian hand-carved bed is the focal point in the small paneled guest room. A teakwood desk, chair and mirror ensemble and a French slipper chair complete the furnishings. Of note is the pastel cherub by Barocchio.

The cherry paneled master bed room and bath are located at the opposite end of the house from the west wing. This bedroom was recently enlarged to accommodate a particularly handsome Chinese sculptured rug done in beige with pastel flowers. The bedroom furniture is French in origin. The gold velour of the bedspread and matching headboard combine with the velvet brocaded wing chair to add richness to the decor. Currier and Ives prints depicting the Battle of Waterloo are originals. One whole wall is devoted to closet space while another has sliding glass doors with a view to a small pond.

Running the length of the living
room wall is a shelf with
storage cupboards below.
Various art objects are displayed
including the large Chinese
bronze temple bell hanging from
a teakwood stand.

Efficiency rather than spaciousness is the keynote in the kitchen. Coppertone cupboards and appliances are accented by the yellow of the tile and counter tops. Avocado green carpets the floor. An accomplished cook, Grady said that some day he may write a "twist of the wrist" cookbook, filled with his own recipes gathered in part from years of sampling gourmet cuisine around the world and created in part by "throwing in this or that from the ice-box."

The 20 by 30 foot structure in front of the house is known by Chester's numerous Hampton friends as "the studio." Whenever the local Kiwanis Club, of which Chester is a past president, wishes to hold an informal party, or local actors need a place to rehearse, "the studio" is always made available.

A refectory table surrounded by eight Hitchcock chairs centers the gold broadloom. Placed at random about the room are a pair of English Hall chairs, two fiddleback Victorian chairs and other assorted furniture. A Franklin stove gives the warm touch of Americana. Cocoa drapes hang at the large paned windows. The walls are covered with autographed photographs and letters from friends and personalities with whom Chester has either worked or been associated. As diversified as the fields of endeavor they represent, the photos include General MacArthur, Max Baer, Fred and Adele Astaire and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Rear of property is seen through sliding glass door in the master bedroom.

In this age of specialization when home building is primarily dictated by architects and designers, it is unusual to find a home of discrimination that truly reflects the life and experience of its owner. Chester believes that "with a little ability and a little ingenuity, one can create something from nothing." He has done just that with his home, and it is pure "Grady."

An example of Mr. Grady's crewel work hangs over his highly prized French marquetry table. Note the pair of Chinese wedding lamps.

Goddess Cabinet  (1 of 19)

This piece is 8 feet high by 5 feet wide and 18 inches deep. The 2 doors on the front of the piece open and the inside is a bookcase.

Ringing a bell activated this piece causing the door in the pubic area to open and a Madonna figure comes out. At the same time the main face of the piece reverses and an illusory holographic face appears. Behind the above glass magnifying glass is a lighted owls face.

From certain positions in the room all that is seen is one large eye of the owl. There are several lights and 2 hidden chambers containing skulls. The skirt of the piece is made of unraveled hemp rope. There are lights throughout.

Wait for hospital funding goes on

A model of how the proposed Wynyard hospital might look.
A model of how the proposed Wynyard hospital might look.

HOSPITAL leaders hope to hear within weeks if they will be given £100m of public funding towards a new hospital at Wynyard.

The controversial project has experienced significant delays linked to securing the necessary funding, currently estimated at £280m.

Alan Foster, chief executive of North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, recently travelled to London to meet with the Department of Health, the Treasury and regulators Monitor, to iron out various issues.

The NHS’ Estates Department is currently reviewing new design plans for the hospital to see if additional savings could be made.

The trust hopes the review will be completed by next week when Mr Foster is due to speak with the Director General for Finance and NHS, Richard Douglas.

Mr Foster said: “I’m hoping that by then the work the NHS Estates is doing will be complete.

“We have done everything we need to do.

“It leads the way forward for a recommendation from the Department of Health to put £100m of public capital in place for the scheme.

“That’s where we hope to get to in the nest few weeks.”

Neil Atkinson, the trust’s deputy director of finance admitted recent progress has been slow.

But he added the indications the trust had been getting from their regulator Monitor had been positive.

Mr Atkinson added: “Experts at the Department of Health look at the designs of all new hospitals nationally to make sure they are fit for purpose and see if we can learn from other trusts.

“We have reduced the size to see if we can make it a bit more cost effective but don’t want to compromise on clinical care.”

If the new hospital goes ahead it would see the eventual closure of both hospitals in Hartlepool and North Tees in Stockton.

The current target opening date for Wynyard is 2017.

What practical ideas can researchers suggest to policymakers who want to measure the outcomes of higher education, but who also want to account for the differences in the types of students colleges and universities enroll or the financial resources they are provided? Measuring postsecondary success depends heavily on the variables that are used, and how each variable is weighed. The diversity of postsecondary institutions and the variety of credentials they award make higher education fundamentally different from K-12 education, which is often the model for thinking about “value-added” measures of performance. But this concept does not translate well to higher education. How can we identify which institutions are most effective in educating students while still accounting for the disparities among them?

This is the focus of Context for Success, a collaborative effort between scholars and policymakers from across the nation to identify best practices to account for differences in college “inputs”—students, resources, fixed characteristics—when evaluating postsecondary outcomes. Commissioned by HCM Strategists in 2011, Context for Success identified challenges in current methods of evaluating postsecondary education and sought ideas grounded in research that would have practical benefits in the higher education policy world.

Here you can find the results of the project: seven research papers that evaluate input-corrected quantitative measures of postsecondary outcomes, as well as an overview of the project, a literature review, and an accompanying series of issue briefs.

Fiber - what do YOU take?

When I was first diagnosed with CD, my GI said, "You don't normally hear a GI say this but I don't want you eating much fiber".
Over the years, though, he's changed his suggestion and says that when I have IBS'y spells (he believes some of my symptoms sound more like IBS rather than problems associated with my Crohn's) that I should take a small amount of fiber.
Yesterday morning I had a really sick spell and it ruined my day.  Granted, I only went to the bathroom 2 more times but the 20 minute spell in the A.M. knocked my body out for the day. My mom, who is the MOST supportive of my CD, suggested to me (again) that maybe I'm not getting enough fiber.  The reason she said this was because I hadn't gone to the bathroom too much for a couple of days and then yesterday morning it was like my intestines just opened up 2 days worth of STUFF causing me awful pain & vomiting (well, dry heaves since it was morning and I hadn't eaten anything).  She says when she was my age, she used to go a couple of days without going and then on that 3rd day would be in the bathroom with bad gas pains and a trash can in front of her.  She started on Metamucil and those spells got better for her.
I've told her time & time again that Metamucil is AWFUL for me...it rips my intestines up so bad I swore it off.  I've tried Fiber Choice pills...OMG...just as bad.  I've also tried Benefiber...not as bad but I don't get "regular" BM's with it either.
So I'm getting my grocery list together for the week and wonder what, if ANY, kind of FIBER you guys get in your diet whether it be something like Metamucil or just from food????  For me, it just depends on how I feel that day as to whether I'll eat a salad/strawberries/brocolli...  if I'm achy, no way.  If I feel fairly good and am hungry I can usually eat that type of thing with no problem.  But I can honestly say it's been months since I regularly ate fruit or...well, anything that normal people would consider healthy.  I keep it pretty plain.

The two things I find best for my fiber are psyllium seed and bananas. It is harder to find but I think psyllium seed, not psyllium seed husk is easier on me and still helps. Psyllium seed husk is what Metamucil is, I find just a psyllium seed supplement at my health food store.

I know some people have issues with bananas, I do not. When I am flaring I eat up to 2 bananas a day and I think bananas really help. If you go to whfoods.com and read the info on fiber in bananas it is pretty interesting. It says bananas are good for D and constipation which I find interesting.
Diagnosed with Crohn's in 1998, father has UC we were diagnosed at the same age.

Currently on 20 mg Prednisone, 2g Sulfasalzine, Butyric Acid, Kefir/probiotics, Curcumin, Magnesium, D3, B complex vitamin, and multi-mineral. Previously on Remicade, stopped Humira after 9 months, wasn't working.

No surgeries so far.

I used to take fiber supplements at my GI's suggestion, but I hated the way I felt on them and haven't done that in 8 years or so.
Now I really do try to get a balanced diet in, including fruits and vegetable and whole grains.  I rarely try a low residue diet....I know exactly what you mean about having gone 2 or 3 days without a bowel movement and then having a day or so of misery.  Frankly, I don't know the answer.
I do think that exercise helps move the bowels - I haven't been able to run for a few years because of arthritis in my SI joint, but I'm determined to start walking several times a week.  I'm hopeful that will keep things moving.  And a little caffeine in the morning helps, too.
I guess I don't have any smart ideas, just commiseration.  I like the previous poster's suggestion, tho!

My GI recommended that I eat All Bran Buds with lactose free milk and yogurt with bacterial cultures every day. I find that if I do that every day it really helps, and I notice if I miss a day or so. I have done Metamucil, but I find it difficult to do it every day because it is more of a performance and much less enjoyable!!. Some people on this site have written before that you have to start slow with Metamucil and find the balance of what amount helps.
45 years old. Diagnosed with moderate to severe Crohn's in April 2005. Hiatus hernia diagnosed in 2008. Had Crohn's under control until March last year when I had a major flare up and ended up in hospital. Diagnosis is now CD and IBS. Getting it under control again.
Currently taking: Salofalk 2000 mg, Calcium and Vitamin D, Matamucil, Yogurt for probiotics, Pregnancy Vitamins for iron etc., Salofalk suppositories as needed.

I get my fibre from food. I don't eat tons of it, but I try to eat 2-3 portions of fruit and veg a day. Sometimes it's more, other times it's less, but that's about my average.

Not that it helps very much. I had chronic diarrhoea for 9-10 years, then about a year ago my BMs started slowing down to an average of 1 a day. It sounds like good news, but for me it was anything but. My abdominal pain got worse, my insides would feel bunged up and swollen for hours on end, and I was grossly uncomfortable after eating a normal-sized dinner. And if I didn't go for a couple of days, I would have an absolutely horrible time going; it was as though my bowels had seized up. Even if the stool was liquid (which it usually was unless I hadn't been for 2 or more days), I would have to practically coax the bloody stuff to come out - sorry for TMI.

I'm still like that. I was controlling it reasonably well until a couple of weeks ago, but my patience snapped one night when I resorted to taking a suppository at 5am in the bloody morning just to be able to go to the toilet after two days of not going. (I normally wouldn't have done that, but I was meeting somebody in London later on that day and did not want to feel bloated, sore and uncomfortable while trekking around the British Museum.) My response is not something I would recommend to other people: I started taking a Dulcolax laxative. For the first few days it actually worked really well and did a good job of 'cleaning' me out. But already it does not seem to be working as well, and so I'm not quite back to square one, but I'm almost there.

Sorry I can't help you any more. I do sympathise, but I'm stuck as well. No individual food helps me, except for possibly an entire bag of dried pineapple - that got me running to the toilet >_>. The only thing left for me to suggest which you probably already do is drink lots of liquids: never eat a lot of fibre without also consuming a lot of water, as too much insoluble fibre and not enough liquid can actually make constipation worse.

I just remembered one of my solutions for my slow bowel - go shopping in a big box store! No matter what time of day, if I am shopping in a Target, or whatever (today it was Office Depot) after a few minutes I have to go. Why? I don't know! But I'm glad for it today, LOL.

I'm one of those people who managed symptoms by myself -didn't like the over the counter anythings, but couldn't regulate myself without really ever understanding why for years. Over the last several years, I have resorted to a daily bowl of fiber cereal -Quaker oat squares one day, the next day Total cereal. (Total with skim milk = 100% of daily Calcium requirement). Don't know if you can tolerate milk but sure helped. Too many days, too much Quaker oat squares results in pain and frequent bathroom breaks! Now I'm in a different phase of this dopey disease and so constipation isn't so much of an issue. Hope you find something that works for you!

My only suggestion is to try adding it a little at a time to your diet. Some people do well with fiber added to their diet, others don't. I do horribly with more fiber, and end up obstructing if I have too much. It's a bit of a balancing act for me...a little of it doesn't hurt, but too much is BAD!!

If I could, I'd eat fiber more, since it does keep you full for longer. I actually enjoyed munching on Kashi cereal (the really crunchy kind) but had to eliminate it.

Match of the Month

Shout Outs!

January is National Mentoring Month

Mentoring For Success is grateful for the many school district employees who spend an extra hour every week to give special attention to their mentees. January is National Mentoring Month and while we celebrate all mentors, in January we want to send a special shout out to the mentors below for their exceptional attention to mentoring their students.

Mentor Recognition

Kathy Babcock is a School District Nurse who coordinates 504 Plans from School Health Programs for students throughout the district. Many years ago Kathy made a connection with her student mentee when she was at Willie Brown Elementary School. She recently began to officially mentor Chastity at Roosevelt Middle School. Kathy meets with her mentee every Monday (even on Kathy’s birthday), attends the schools’ monthly activities, and finds time in her busy schedule to mentor her student because she finds value in it. Kathy has been in the district for 15 years and has been involved in Mentoring For Success for over 8 years since its inception as either a coordinator or a 1:1 or group mentor. She has served as a mentor at Flynn, Willie Brown, Burton, and now at Roosevelt. Kathy’s mentee loves her! Kathy is very kind to her, has a relationship with the family, and advocates for her education. She is a very compassionate mentor and deserves to be acknowledged for her long term commitment. Not only is Kathy a fabulous mentor, she has many job duties as a School District Nurse which are very time consuming.

Cesar Flores is a Student Advisor who has been mentoring for six years at Martin Luther King Jr Middle School. Cesar is always available for his mentee and goes over and above to ensure his mentee’s success.   Cesar is patient and dedicated. He spends countless hours working with his mentee and provides outstanding support to all of his students. He supports vulnerable youth with food donations, shoes, family support, and a range of other coordinated information and services.

Kim Anderson, a Special Education Teacher at Fairmount Elementary School, has been mentoring for four years. She has been a consistent, solid level of support for her current mentee for 3 years. She has built relationships with the student’s family and helps to celebrate the student/family’s successes and strengths. Kim demonstrates unconditional love and positive regard for her student, prioritizes making a connection with the family, has consistent meetings, meets with the student outside of school in community, and continues being in touch even after her mentee moved to Middle School. The best way to describe her is consistent, consistent, consistent which is the most important thing for mentoring to have a long-lasting positive impact. Despite having a very full personal family life she remains committed to her students including her mentee.

Mika Moore is a Special Education Teacher at Everett Middle School who has been mentoring for 4 years. She always goes the extra mile for all of her students. She also takes the extra time to mentor and she does it consistently! Mika is patient, all loving, innovative, forgiving, passionate--if we had more teachers and mentors likes Mika, our schools would be better places. She volunteered to cook sugar cookies for our mentor/mentee lunch. At 9pm the night before the event, she went to the store and got the cookies and sprinkles. All with a smile on her face!

Roxanne Huie is a Speech Therapist who has mentored at Bret Harte Elementary School since 2010. She has a great understanding of her role as a mentor--she is calm, positive, and reliable. This year she noticed a quiet student who nobody else had noticed and is so consistently supportive for her.

Debra Johnson is an RSP Teacher at George Washington Carver Elementary School who has been mentoring for 4 years. She is warm, nonjudgmental, accepting, thoughtful, and hard working. Debra constantly finds fun and exciting activities to do in the community with her mentee, and meets regularly to build a good relationship with her student mentee.

Barry O’Driscoll is a PE Teacher at Visitacion Valley Middle School who has been mentoring for 2 years. He meets with his mentee every week, attends monthly mentoring events, and works well with all of his students.  As a mentor he demonstrates consistency, punctuality, and flexibility. Barry builds strong relationships. He is a positive role model who took his mentee to the Warriors game and House of Air.

Andrea Haun is a School District Nurse who has been mentoring at Leonard R Flynn since 2013. Andrea has been an incredible mentor for a student that needs a lot of support. Andrea has patiently worked with this student, and helped her feel comfortable and safe. Through games and consistency, she has helped her mentee grow in confidence. Andrea brings compassion, commitment, consistency, patience, and fun to the mentoring. She is amazing-- just a great mentor! She’s there all the time for her mentee, and makes her feel special.

Annaluz Rockefeller is a Pre-school Teacher at Dr. William Cobb Elementary School who is a new mentor. Annaluz takes advantage of training opportunities to make her mentoring the best it can be. She has a positive attitude and has been a thoughtful, helpful, and reliable team player. Annaluz helped create a Turkey centerpiece for the mentor/mentee Thanksgiving activity and is full of ideas to build community through the program. Annaluz is very kind and genuine, reaching out to make a difference in her mentee’s life.

Allison Harman is a Literacy Coach at George Washington Carver Elementary School who has been very consistent and thoughtful about finding fun out-of-school time activities with her mentee. She works really hard on engaging her student to make sure that she feels special and welcome at school.

Julie McElhatton, is a School District Nurse at Malcolm X Academy who has been mentoring for three years. She meets every week with her mentee, meets program expectations, and introduces her student to new experiences. Julie allows her mentee to build on her peer friendships by inviting them to do activities together--last month they did a bread-stick making activity. Her approach is creative and solutions focused. Julie often takes the time to have meaningful conversations with her mentee, taking advantage of teachable moments whenever they arise.

Beyond that, is yeah, do ask questions, don't be frightened to ask questions. I find it not so much the, the doctors and the consultants don't want [you] to ask, I think they're just unused to putting in layman's terms and I think they can quite quickly flummox you. And they don't have time to be fair, they really have very limited time, but make use of, for our condition, the cardiac nurses, who I find are pretty good.

Make use of the cardiac nurses and the other support networks that come from that, like you go to rehabilitation, you meet other people. Talk to other people, realise that they've been through something similar, that you can actually get through it, as bad as it may feel at the time.

Germany's all-time leading goalscorer, Miroslav Klose, has announced his retirement from international football.

Less than a month after helping his country win the World Cup the 36-year-old has opted to call it a day.

He took his tally of World Cup goals to a record 16 during the tournament in Brazil and bows out with 71 international strikes to his name.

Loading article content

"With the win in Brazil, a childhood dream came true, I am proud and happy that I was able to help this great success," Klose told the German Football Association's official website. "I had a unique and wonderful time and many memorable moments with the national team."

Klose - who was actually born in Poland - made his Germany debut in 2001 and has since played in four World Cups, scoring at all of them.

His goal in the incredible 7-1 semi-final win over Brazil took him past Ronaldo's 15 in the competition to make him the most prolific striker in World Cup history.

The Lazio striker, though, prefers to put the team ahead of his own achievements.

"The team's success was and is always the top priority for me," he added.

"I've achieved our goal with the national team but I have achieved goals I set personally too. Anyone who knows me knows I am very ambitious.

"The job of a striker is to score goals and it never occurred to me about records. As a striker I am always dependent on my team-mates and I give them a big thank you."

Klose bows out of the international arena with Germany having never lost whenever he has scored.

With 137 caps to his name, only Lothar Matthaus has won more, and coach Joachim Low cannot speak highly enough of him.

"Miro Klose is an international star. He is one of the greatest strikers there have been," he said.

"His footballing qualities; his aerial ability, his goal threat, his understanding and his tireless commitment are second to none, and yet I have barely seen a player who is so much about modesty and team spirit.

"For Miro it was always an honour to play for the national team and he has given everything to Germany. He will be missed as a footballer and a person and I am happy and grateful I was able to work with him."

Klose follows Germany captain Phillipp Lahm into international retirement, with the 30-year-old having done so in the immediate aftermath of the World Cup.

"We gave him (Klose) and Philipp Lahm a worthy farewell," DFB president Wolfgang Niersbach said.

Time passes sofly

Picture of dry leaves and trees along a streetAt some point in your life, you have to be true to yourself, stop being foolish, ignore peer pressure, and say, “That's it. I'm done with being stupid.” Sounds harsh, but it's true. Think about the many times you knew not to do something, but still went ahead and danced to the tune of the crowd, only to hurt yourself in the end. What about the days you needed to invest your time in what mattered to you, but did what others wanted you to do because you didn't want to offend anyone? Not very smart.

As you grow older, you begin to realize that all you have in life is time, and the scary thing is you never really know how much time life is going to give you. There are so many popular sayings about making the most of your time that it’s almost cliché to say it again.  But the truth is when all is said and done, when your time on earth is up, all that matters is what you did between the time your mother gave birth to you and the time Mother Nature says that’s it. Doesn’t it make sense, with so much uncertainty as to how much time you really have to spend on earth, to draw up a roadmap of what you want to do with your time and go for it? Some sort of checklist of the little, but meaningful things you have to accomplish by the end of each day to ensure that, however and whenever Mother Nature calls you home, you’re happy to go.

Having a great job is nice, but if your work deprives you of spending quality time with your family, you might need to reconsider your priorities. Travelling the world is wonderful, but if your time away puts a strain on your relationship with your partner, you should think twice. Buying what you love is great, but if your purchases leave your bank account empty and prevent you from helping a friend in need, what’s the point?

Your life is all about what you do with every hour, every minute, and even every second. Take an inventory of the last 24 hours and what you have and haven’t done, and decide whether you would be happy if those were the last 24 hours of your life. In the words of one of my favorite writers, “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven, a time to be born and a time to die.”

You never know what time of your life you are in right now, so quit the foolishness and make each second work for you. Whether you like it or not, time passes softly.

Love this. Yes, time passes softly yet very very swiftly. Blink and another year is gone just like that.

Honestly DNW, can't imagine how much time has passed since the last time I checked... no wonder the Psalmist says teach us to number our days that we may apply our heart to wisdom...every second counts!

You are right sweetheart, we are faced with the fear of what they will say and forget what will the not say. I believe a person is mature when he/she can say no and meaning it especially when the reasons are good. Time indeed is no respecter of persons

'White Feather' Hosta

Discover a hosta that brings a burst of white to plantings.

A great addition to any hosta collection, the 'White Feather' hosta features pale white foliage.

Give your garden a true touch of the unusual by adding ‘White Feather’ hosta to the mix. This striking perennial accents any planting with its distinctive colorless leaves. ‘White Feather’ hosta takes light-colored leaves to a whole new level. It’s not the easiest hosta to grow, but with a little attention to detail, you can enjoy a truly one-of-a-kind hosta.

Growing ‘White Feather’ hosta successfully requires a trip back to biology class. Remember learning about chlorophyll? It’s the green stuff that makes plants grow. ‘White Feather’ hosta doesn’t have any—that’s why the leaves are white. As a result, this is a slow-growing plant.

Even in ideal growing conditions, this beauty isn’t going to achieve full size right away, so if you plan to grow it, invest in creating perfect hosta growing conditions. Enrich soil with plenty of organic matter to improve soil nutrition and water-holding abilities.

As for light conditions, hostas with heavy white variegations on leaves can’t typically withstand direct sun. ‘White Feather’ hosta is no exception. Keep this pale-leafed perennial in light to full shade for best coloring. Lighter colored leaf tissue is also usually thinner, which means it can easily burn in direct sun.

That thin leaf tissue is a beacon to slugs, which love munching on the thin material. When growing ‘White Feather’ hosta, keep a supply of slug bait on hand, and use it liberally. You can find pet-safe slug baits, if that’s a concern. Rabbits also tend to be fond of this white hosta. Protect plants with sprays or plastic bird netting.

‘White Feather’ hosta isn’t a large plant. It grows 6 to 10 inches tall and 9 to 12 inches wide. Place it where you can see it—toward the front of a bed or better still, in a container. Many gardeners grow ‘White Feather’ hosta in pots so that they can give it a prominent location in their gardens. Growing this pale beauty in a container also makes it easier to protect it from slugs and rabbits.

Leaves are whitest when they emerge in early spring. As summer unfolds, green starts to appear on ‘White Feather’ hosta leaves. First, you’ll see green leaf veins, followed by a pale green cast to the leaves. Don’t be alarmed by this color transformation. Remember—the leaves need some chlorophyll to fuel growth and build some food supplies in roots to jump-start growth next year.

Like many hostas, ‘White Feather’ hosta is hardy in Zones 3 to 9. In cold winter regions, if you’re growing ‘White Feather’ in a pot, sink the container into soil in an empty garden bed for the winter. A vegetable planting area works great. Mulch soil once it freezes to provide extra protection for your prized hosta.

If you like the look of ‘White Feather’ hosta but don’t think you’re up the challenge of tending a prima donna perennial, check out other hosta plant varieties with white variegated leaves. ‘Fire and Ice’ and ‘Fireworks’ both offer substantial white patches on leaves—without the care demands that ‘White Feather’ hosta needs.

Lobuche Peak Climbing (6119/6145 m)

There exist two distinct summit to Lobuche peak: Lobuche east ( 6119m/ 20,075ft ) and Lobuche west ( 6145m/ 20161ft ). Although they are connected by a continuous ridge there is a sharp gap and a considerable distance between them.
The trekking peak permit is for the east peak, while Lobuche west, which could be seen at the head of the Lobuche glacier, requires the expedition permit.

Lobuche peak is an attractive summit, offering a variety of existing routes and wide scope for new lines. Seen from near Pheriche, the dark triangle of its rocky east face rises above the moraines of the Khumbu Glacier to and icy skyline. This skyline forms the south ridges, the junction of the east faces with the glaciated south west face and the line of the normal route of ascent. This in turn leads to the summit ridge running North West from the top of the east. Several small summits could be viewed from the east peak.

Human Drama Set in a Medical Facility for the Poor

[From October Issue 2012]

DVD cover. 185 minutes. 3,990 yen

Red Beard (Directed by KUROSAWA Akira)

This is a human drama set in Koishikawa Yojosho, a free clinic built for the poor in 1772 by the Edo government. The film opened to the public in 1965. Winning a prize at the Venice International Film Festival, it was highly regarded not only in Japan, but also abroad. The film is based on a novel whose protagonist is the doctor who put forward the idea of building Yojosho. The novel has been adapted into TV dramas many times.

The film was directed by KUROSAWA Akira and the part of NIIDE Kyojo – affectionately nicknamed Red Beard – was played by MIFUNE Toshiro, an actor who often appeared in Kurosawa films. The film is also known for being the last Kurosawa work in which Mifune starred. The plot develops through the eyes of YASUMOTO Noboru, a young man who sets out to learn how to be a physician from Red Beard. Yasumoto is played by KAYAMA Yuzo, an actor who was known for appearing in a series of comedies about campus life.

Having just finished his studies in modern Western medicine in Nagasaki, Yasumoto’s future as a top physician at a government medical institution is guaranteed. However, while he was pursuing his studies in Nagasaki, his fiancée fell in love with another man, so Yasumoto finds himself in the depths of despair. In this state of mind he reluctantly visits Yojosho after being ordered by the government to go and meet Niide.

Instructed by Niide to practice medicine in a small room packed with patients wearing filthy clothes, Yasumoto takes offence. So by taunting Niide – breaking the rules by drinking alcohol on the job and taking naps when he should be treating patients – he tries to provoke Niide into kicking him out, but these tactics do not work.

One day, Yasumoto was ordered to accompany Niide on a house call and is told to take care of a twelve-year-old girl, his first patient. After being forced to work in a brothel she’s suffering both mentally and physically. At first she refuses to have her temperature taken or to take any medicine, but as Yasumoto devotes himself to caring for her, she begins to open up her heart and her health improves. This gives him confidence as a physician and he begins to admire Niide who sweats blood for the poor.

Meanwhile the younger sister of Yasumoto’s former fiancée visits again and again to apologize on behalf of her sister. Touched by this gesture, feelings of forgiveness towards his ex-fiancée begin to take root. His parents then advise him to marry this younger sister and he finally accepts the suggestion after giving it some hard thought. Around the same time, the order comes in from the government to go and work for a medical institution. When Yasumoto comes face to face with both sets of parents for yuinou (exchanging engagement gifts), he tells them about a decision he’s come to.

Built inside Koishikawa Oyakuen, a garden in which the Edo government cultivated medicinal herbs and other plants, Koishikawa Yojosho was known as being a medical facility for treating the poor for some 140 years, up till the end of Edo era. Today Oyakuen is a postgraduate botanical research facility of Tokyo University and under the name of Koishikawa Botanical Gardens it is open to the public. A well that has been kept in good condition since the Edo era was used to provide citizens with drinking water in the wake of the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923.

Wharton’s father came from a northern marcher family, which had served in Parliament for Westmorland since 1414, and acquired by marriage the extensive Buckinghamshire estates and interest of the Goodwins. A parliamentary supporter during the Civil War, he acquired an unfortunate reputation for cowardice at Edgehill. He disapproved of the Protectorate, and signed the Buckinghamshire petition for a free Parliament presented to George Monck in 1660. Wharton’s childhood was passed, in the words of Macaulay, ‘amidst Geneva bands, heads of lank hair, upturned eyes, nasal psalmody, and sermons three hours long’. ‘An atheist grafted upon a dissenter’, and regarded by contemporaries as fearless of God and man, Wharton stood in the greatest awe of his father, and his childhood trained him in the powers of dissimulation for which ‘Honest Tom’ the politician was renowned.4

When the Wendover by-election was declared void on 6 Feb. 1673, Wharton came forward on the Hampden interest against Edward Backwell, who enjoyed the support of the Court and the Church. He was narrowly defeated on the poll, but awarded the seat on petition. No sooner had he taken his seat than he suffered the double humiliation of being ‘robbed by persons like soldiers’ and insulted by John Arundell, his rival for a rich heiress with £10,000 in cash and an estate of £2,000 p.a. Even the pious wife of the Hon. William Russell hinted that he had displayed an excess of Christian forbearance on the latter occasion, and they had to fight. Arundell was the victor with his ‘Cornish dexterity’, but, satisfied that Wharton in one important respect was no chip off the old block, he ‘gave him both his life and his mistress too, since he had the courage to fight for her’. The marriage brought him a house in Chelsea and a strong interest at Malmesbury, but ‘did not contribute much to his happiness, for ... her person was not so agreeable to him as was necessary to secure his constancy’. Freed of parental control, though still a model of filial respect, Wharton became one of the greatest rakes in England. He improved his swordsmanship so that he was never again worsted in a duel, always disarming his opponents without serious injury. He boasted that he never gave and never refused a challenge. He was equally fearless on horseback, and his triumphs on the racecourse were frequently spiced by the costly defeat of political rivals. In the Cavalier Parliament he was probably inactive, though the Journals do not distinguish him from Michael Warton. Sir Richard Wiseman included him in 1676 among the Buckinghamshire Members of whom there was ‘little cause to hope well’, and Shaftesbury, whom he visited at Wimborne St. Giles during the long recess, classed him as ‘worthy’. His host and his father were both sent to the Tower in 1677 for asserting that Parliament had been automatically dissolved, and Wharton initiated a debate by inviting the Commons to assert his right to visit them. But after a call of the House on 11 Dec. 1678 he was sent for in custody as a defaulter.5

A county Member in the Exclusion Parliaments, Wharton was still regarded by Shaftesbury as ‘worthy’. He was again appointed to the elections committees, and voted for the bill in 1679, though only a few days earlier he had been ‘much battered’ and ‘taken up for dead’ after falling in a race on Banstead Downs. He served on the Middlesex grand jury that presented the Duke of York as a Popish recusant in 1680, and it was probably he who alleged that some of the witnesses heard by the committee of inquiry into the conduct of Sir George Jeffreys as recorder of London were ‘the very men that tore the petition for the sitting of the Parliament’. He probably also served on the committees for the bill to regulate the trial of peers, and for the third exclusion bill in the Oxford Parliament. He had abandoned dissent, he was wont to say, at a much earlier stage of his career than Robert Harley II, but a ‘grievous prank’ perpetrated while on a visit to a Gloucestershire friend, Reginald Bray, in the summer of 1682 does not suggest any great reverence for the church to which he had conformed. In a state of intoxication he and his brother Henry forced the doors of the parish church of Great Barrington in the middle of the night, rang the bells, tore up the Bible, and ‘pissed against a communion table’. The rector was willing to hush the sacrilege up, but it came to the knowledge of the newly appointed diocesan, Bishop Frampton, who admonished them severely and fined them £1,000.6

It was reported after the Rye House Plot that some of the conspirators were in hiding at Winchendon, and Samuel Starkey seized ‘a great quantity of concealed arms’ there. But Wharton was not personally compromised, and stood successfully for re-election in 1685 at a cost of £3,000, though Jeffreys campaigned in person for his defeat. Listed by Danby among the Opposition in James II’s Parliament, he was probably appointed as usual only to the elections committee, to which his opponent’s petition was referred on 23 May. Although Monmouth had been one of his racing cronies, he regarded the invasion project as ‘chimerical’, and was not molested by the Government. He resumed his seat in the second session, and, when the House was ready to rise on 18 Nov. moved for consideration of the King’s reply on the employment of Roman Catholic officers; but he was more careful in his language than his seconder, John Coke II, who was sent to the Tower, and on the following day his return for Buckinghamshire was confirmed. Although a civilian, he attended the ‘Treason Club’ of discontented officers that met at the Rose tavern in Covent Garden under the presidency of ‘his most intimate friend and companion’, Lord Colchester (Richard Savage). His chief contribution to the Revolution was Lillibulero, a satirical comment on Tyrconnel’s rule in Ireland, with which, he claimed, he sang and whistled King James out of three kingdoms. He joined William of Orange at Exeter, with about 20 followers.7

At the general election of 1689 the Wharton interest carried both seats at Malmesbury and one at Wycombe. Wharton’s brother Henry represented their ancestral county of Westmorland in the Convention, and he was himself re-elected for Buckinghamshire. A moderately active Member, he was named to 12 committees and delivered as many recorded speeches. On 20 Jan. he moved ‘to supply the vacancy of the throne’ by naming William and Mary as joint sovereigns, so as to ‘adhere to the constitution as near as possible’, and was among those ordered to draw up a list of the essentials for securing religion, law and liberty. The vote of thanks to the clergy led Wharton to remind the House of those army officers who had ‘behaved themselves so bravely in opposition to Popery and slavery. Comparisons are odious; but I think it more extraordinary in men of their education.’ ‘I own driving King James out, and I would do it again’, he declared forthrightly, and he was sent to the Lords to ask for a conference on the new oaths of allegiance and supremacy. His services were rewarded with a Household post worth £1,042 p.a., but he regarded the royal message agreeing to the abolition of the hearth-tax which he brought to the House on 1 Mar. as ‘the greatest honour the King can do me’. He was named on the same day to the committees to draft an address of thanks and to consider the suspension of habeas corpus. With three other Members and two peers he was sent to Windsor a fortnight later to ask the King to suppress the Ipswich mutiny. William appointed him one of the commissioners for regulating the army, and this employment took him into the north for the next few months, though he was kept informed of proceedings in the Commons by William Jephson. Wharton’s colleagues complained of his reluctance to travel on Sundays ‘for fear of giving offence, as he said, to his father’s godly tenants’, and his activities seem to have done little to improve the efficiency of the army. He removed from the Carlisle garrison some officers ‘suspected as no friends of the Revolution’, though their real offence was probably their dependence on Sir Christopher Musgrave. When Musgrave’s son died Wharton was able to increase his following in the Commons by procuring the election of William Cheyne for Appleby at the cost of £2,200. He had returned to Westminster by 16 July when he told the House that the King had consented to open the Privy Council records relating to Ireland to their inspection. In the second session he was among those ordered to examine the state of the revenue, and he concluded the debate on the allowance to Princess Anne and her husband by saying: ‘I have no orders to propose it, but as from myself I move that they may have the addition of £20,000 p.a.’. Although his office gave him constant access to the Court, it rather reduced than increased his interest there, for William disliked his freedom of manner and his partisan approach to politics. In a memorandum dated 25 Dec. Wharton wrote:

If you intend to govern like an honest man, what occasion can you have for knaves to serve you? They struggled for everything that could be devised against you before they would agree to make you King alone; and it is remarkable they never yielded one point until your friends did as well by threats as arguments oblige them to comply. ... If the Parliament had not seen these men employed, I dare affirm they would have settled upon your Majesty and the Queen the revenue for life. ... Now they see so much treachery, and the miscarriages grown to such a bulk, that they can no longer bear them. ... We hope it will not be in the power of any to fix thoughts in your Majesty in prejudice of your Parliament; ... your circumstances are such, by reason of enemies at home and your wars abroad, that you will always want to be supported by Parliament. ... The proposal of settling a revenue by Act of Parliament upon the Princess Anne of Denmark was fortunate for your Majesty, for thereby you saw the number of your friends; and that if you take right measures you may carry anything in this House of Commons. ... This was laboured by the Tories and High Churchmen, and carried for you by the honest old Whig interest.

A member of the committees on the bills for restoring corporations, and the general oath of allegiance, Wharton was listed as a supporter of the disabling clause.8

Wharton continued to represent his county as a court Whig until he succeeded to the peerage, and an estate of £8,000 p.a. One of the lords of the Whig Junto, he played a central role in British politics until the Hanoverian succession, when he was made a marquess. He died on 12 Apr. 1715 and was buried at Winchendon. His heir, the last of the family, was a minor who, on coming of age, rapidly dissipated the estate.

Minnesota trust code - Part Four: Directed Trusts

Directed Trust

IntroductionWhile Section 807 clarifies the trustee’s ability to delegate duties and powers to an agent, Section 808 introduces a new concept to Minnesota law: the “directed trust.”  In a directed trust, the trustee is required to follow the direction of an “investment trust advisor,” a “distribution trust advisor,” or a “trust protector,” and the trustee has no legal responsibility or liability for decisions it is directed to make by one of these individuals.  The proposed language is based on a recently-enacted Illinois statute, with a few additions from the statutes of Delaware and South Dakota.  The new Trust Code also adds and clarifies the role and the powers of a trust protector.  These powers include removing and replacing the trustee, modifying or terminating the trust, and advising the trustee on distributions to beneficiaries.  A trust protector allows the trust to adapt to changing circumstances without the need for court intervention.

Directing PartyThe directing party continues to be a fiduciary of the Trust subject to the same duties and standards applicable to a Trustee, unless the governing instrument provides otherwise.  However, the instrument may not relieve or exonerate a directing party from the duty to act, or withhold acting, as the directing party in good faith reasonably believes is in the best interests of the Trust.

Excluded FiduciaryThe Trust Code authorizes trust provisions providing that an “excluded fiduciary” shall accept and follow directions from an “investment trust advisor,” “distribution trust advisor” or “trust protector” (“directing parties”) and shall be relieved of liability or responsibility for doing so.  This allows the settlor of the Trust to divide the Trustee’s role into several discrete functions.  The statute also provides that an excluded fiduciary shall have no duty to make recommendations or to warn the beneficiaries with respect to any such directions, except in cases of willful misconduct by the excluded fiduciary.

Trust ProtectorFor the first time in Minnesota, the statute introduces the concept of a trust protector, and provides that a trust protector may be granted authority to do any one or more of the following (this list is non-exclusive; a trust protector may be given other powers by the governing instrument):

  1. Modify or amend the governing instrument for tax reasons;
  2. Increase, decrease, or otherwise modify the interests of any beneficiaries;
  3. Modify the terms of any power of appointment, but not to the extent of granting a beneficial interest to any individual, class of individuals, or other parties not specifically provided for under the trust instrument;
  4. Remove and appoint trustees, investment trust advisors, distribution trust advisors, other directing parties, investment committee members, or distribution committee members;
  5. Terminate the trust and determine how the trustee shall distribute the trust property to be consistent with the purposes of the trust;
  6. Change the situs of the trust and/or its governing law;
  7. Appoint successor trust protectors;
  8. Interpret terms of the trust instrument at the request of the trustee;
  9. Advise the trustee on matters concerning a beneficiary; and
  10. Amend or modify the governing instrument to take advantage of laws governing restraints on alienation, distribution of trust property, or to improve the administration of the trust.

ConclusionDirected Trusts can be useful, for example, in handling Trust investments that the Trustee would otherwise need special assistance to administer.  Such assets might include a concentrated investment, a closely-held business, commercial real estate, art, or other specific asset categories that may fall outside the normal range of fiduciary investing.  These may also be commonly useful for settlor’s that wish to retain control of the investments, or alternatively wish to have financial advisor, independent of the Trustee, continue to make those decisions.  Note, however, that if the grantor will be the investment advisor, certain restrictions need to be drafted into the Trust instrument so that the Trust assets are not included in the grantor’s taxable estate upon death.  With or without the directed Trust provisions, a Trust protector can adapt the Trust to unforeseen circumstances and add flexibility to long-term Irrevocable Trusts.
