SRC: Crockpot Texas Chicken Sandwiches

Texas Chicken SandwichesThere were three things I hadn't eaten before moving to Texas: queso, guacamole and ranch dressing. My waistline would be better if I had never indulged in any of them, but you cannot live in Texas without those three staples. When I saw there was a recipe for Texas Chicken on Mom's Test Kitchen for this month's Secret Recipe Club, I knew it was the choice for me. I wouldn't be a true Texan if I didn't gravitate to it. And it couldn't have been easier. I decided to use the recipe in sandwiches, which made for a great weeknight meal, especially when served on my favorite brioche buns.  Next time, I will use the meat as a filling for tacos.  I may have gone back for another half sandwich hours after dinner...I really liked it!
Crockpot Texas Chicken Sandwiches

½ onion, sliced
2 chicken breasts
¼ cup chipotle peppers in adobe sauce
1 can Dr. Pepper (12 ounces)
2 teaspoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt

Brioche buns
Dill pickle slices
Ranch dressing
American cheese

Lay the onion slices in the bottom of the crockpot. Place the chicken breasts on top of the onions. Add the remaining ingredients to the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Remove the chicken from the sauce and shred any large pieces that might still remain. Serve the chicken on toasted brioche buns with pickles, ranch dressing and cheese.

Pin It Now!

This sounds great!! I looove crock pot chicken recipes. They are SO easy yet they make the BEST most tender chicken. Great pick! :)

Cindy said...

What a yummy looking sandwich.We are having our son and his family come for spring break--he is a meat eater. This looks like the perfect dish to serve him. Thanks--you just helped in the4 menu planning this week.
I love the menu at the top of your blog. Great idea!

Unknown said...

Oh, I'm so glad you liked the chicken!! That sandwich looks awesome! I now really want to make this recipe again & try it with ranch & pickles!! :)
{PS. I apologize that my recipe index was not fun to go through, well pretty much non-existent! My blog & the index were under construction this month!!} ;)

Lindsay (life and kitchen) said...

I always know which recipe is yours from the signature plates :) My husband would LOVE this recipe!

Happy Valley Chow said...

That's a mighty tasty looking sandwich! Who could imagine Dr. Pepper into the chicken preparation? Amazing!

I am now officially hungry!

Kirstin said...

Yum! I love pulled chicken sandwiches and this version sounds yummy. Great choice!

Melissa said...

What an easy weeknight meal! These sandwiches sound great! :)

FransFavs said...

This sounds yummy and easy--two of my favorite words when it comes to a new recipe! Great SRC pick...

Mom said...

Looks Yummy! Correction! You would not TRY guacamole (I made it a lot.) or ranch dressing. "Gross" was the adjective for each one according to you. I think you maybe had queso (kinda') at "Chi-Chi's".

Asiya @ Chocolate and Chillies said...

Awesome sandwich! Addition of Dr Pepper is interesting...great SRC pick!

Amy said...

This looks delicious! Love the Dr Pepper!

Karen S Booth said...

That looks amazing! Great SRC pick, Karen

katie said...

Mom - I never had queso until Heather forced me to eat it with tortillas!

Sara said...

Looking to make this tonight but am worried about how spicy this is due to the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.

How spicy is this dish?

kae71463 said...

The have a pretty good kick, I would reduce the chipotle by half, just one pepper in adobo.

maria120 said...

I made these and they were AMAZING. Lots of kick to them, but that's how I like it! I didn't think I would need the ranch dressing (lol) and only had spicy sliced pickles on hand and OMG...Spicy, but awesome!

About Martin

Martin Warburg

It is probably because I live in a truly beautiful part of the world that I am conscious of and inspired to portray most places that I visit.

That said, I am relatively new to art. My background is in business over many years, but the mismanagement of our national economy took the fun out of hard work and using initiative. So in order to limit my exposure to government dead-beats, trade union stooges and other bottom feeders, I decided to opt out and explore the right side of my brain.

And that is how I came to paint.

I have had the very good fortune of sound mentoring and generous advice in the development of any skills I have, and am grateful to those who have nudged me along the way; there is nothing that beats advice spoken from experience and talent.

I find painting almost narcotic, because each assignment holds onto you until it is either right or you concede defeat. But even when defeated I find I keep coming back for another fix of acrylic on canvas. And fortunately, defeats are rare enough not to dent my enthusiasm.

Thank you for your visit.

Scheduling interaction for cells

In order to schedule instance builds to compute hosts Nova and the scheduler will need to take into account that hosts are grouped into cells. It is not necessary that this is apparent when Nova is requesting a placement decision.

Problem description

In order to partition Nova into cells the scheduler will need to be involved earlier in the build process.

Use Cases

  • Operators want to partition their deployments into cells for scaling, failure domain, and buildout reasons. When partitioned, we need to have flexible scheduling that can make decisions on cells and hosts.

Proposed change

The scheduler will be queried at the api level so that it knows which cell to pass the build to. The instance table exists in a cell and not in the api database, so to create an instance we will first need to know which cell to create it in.

The scheduler will continue to return a (host, node) tuple and the calling service will look up the host in a mapping table to determine which cell it is in. This means the current select_destinations interface will not need to change. Querying the scheduler will take place after the API has returned a response so the most reasonable thing to do is pass the build request to a conductor operating outside of any cell. The conductor will call the scheduler and then create the instance in the cell and pass the build request to it.

Rescheduling will still take place within a cell via the normal compute->conductor loop, using the conductors within the cell. Adding rescheduling at a cell level will be a later effort.

Information about cells will need to be fed into the scheduler in order for it to account for that during its placement decisions, but that is outside the scope of this spec.

We could query the scheduler at two points like in cellsv1. This creates more deployment complexity and creates an unnecessary coupling between the architecture of Nova and the scheduler.

Work Items

  • Add a conductor method to call the scheduler and then handle the latter half of what the api currently does for a build request(create instance in db and cast to the cell conductor).

  • Update the conductor build_instances interface to take a scheduling decision and not call the scheduler if it’s provided. This allows for bypassing scheduling when it comes from the api conductor but still call the scheduler when a compute requests a reschedule.

  • Update devstack to spin up a conductor for use by the nova-api service.

Since this is designed to be an internal re-architecting of Nova with no user visible changes the current suite of Tempest or functional tests should suffice. At some point we will want to look at how to test multiple cells or potentially exposing the concept of a cell in the API and we will tackle testing requirements then.

Documentation Impact

Documentation will be written describing the flow of an instance build and how and where scheduling decisions are made.

One of the paramount problems Dowding faced throughout the Battle of Britain was the growing shortage of qualified fighter pilots. New pilots could not be trained in sufficient pace to replenish combat losses, so Dowding had to use all means at his disposal to reinforce the Fighter Command with more airmen.
[Crown Copyright]

The Shortage of Pilots

When squadrons became exhausted, obviously the most satisfactory way of reinforcement was by means of moving complete units, and this was done when time allowed. Serviceable aircraft were transferred by air, and operational aircraft crews, about 35 men per Squadron, were transferred by civil aircraft put at my disposal for the moves. The remainder of the personnel travelled by train or motor transport according to circumstances. Some of the distances involved were considerable, as for instance when a Squadron from Wick had to be brought down in the London area.

The first-line strength of a Squadron was 16 aircraft, of which not more than 12 were intended to be operationally available at any one time. The other 4 would normally be undergoing Inspection or Overhaul. In addition to this there was a small reserve-of three to five -aircraft per Squadron available on the station.

There was a limit to the number of trained pilots which could be kept on the strength of a Squadron even in times of operational passivity, because not more than about 25 could be kept in full practice in flying duties.

A fresh squadron coming into an active Sector would generally bring with them 16 aircraft and about 20 trained pilots. They would normally fight until they were no longer capable of putting more than 9 aircraft into the air, and then they had to be relieved. This process occupied different periods according to the luck and skill of the unit. The normal period was a month to six weeks, but some units had to be replaced after a week or 10 days.

Air Vice Marshal Park found that the heaviest casualties were often incurred by newly-arrived squadrons owing to their non-familiarity with the latest developments of air fighting.

It soon became impossible to maintain the to-and-fro progress of complete unit personnel from end to end of the country, and the first limitation to efficiency which had to be accepted was the retention of the majority of personnel at Sector Stations and the transfer only of flying personnel and aircraft crews. This limitation was regrettable because it meant that officers and men were strange to one another, but worse was to come.

By the beginning of September the incidence of casualties became so serious that a fresh squadron would become depleted and exhausted before any of the resting and reforming squadrons was ready to take its place. Fighter pilots were no longer being produced in numbers sufficient to fill the gaps in the fighting ranks. Transfers were made from the Fleet Air Arm and from the Bomber and Coastal Commands, but these pilots naturally required a short flying course on Hurricanes or Spitfires and some instruction in formation flying, fighter tactics and interception procedure.

I considered, but discarded, the advisability of combining pairs of weak units into single squadrons at full strength, for several reasons, one of which was the difficulty of recovery when a lull should come. Another was that ground personnel would be wasted, and a third was that the rate at which the strength of the Command was decreasing would be obvious.

I decided to form 3 Categories of Squadrons:

  • (a) The units of 11 Group and on its immediate flanks, which were bearing the brunt of the fighting.
  • (b) A few outside units to be maintained at operational strength and to be available as unit reliefs in cases where this was unavoidable.
  • (c) The remaining squadrons of the Command, which would be stripped of their operational pilots, for; the benefit of the A squadrons, down to a level of 5 or 6. These C squadrons could devote their main energies to the training of new pilots, and, although they would not be fit to meet German Fighters, they would be quite capable of defending their Sectors against unescorted Bombers, which would be all that they would be likely to encounter.

The necessity for resorting to such measures as this indicates the strain which had been put on the Fighter Command and the pilot training organisations by the casualties which the Command had suffered in this decisive Battle.

The Advent of Foreign Squadrons

About this time one Canadian, two Polish and one Czech squadrons became fit for Operations.

A squadron of Canadian pilots of the Royal Air Force (No. 242) had been in existence for some months, and was one of the squadrons which went to France in June to cover the evacuation from the West Coast. On its return it became one of the foremost fighting squadrons in the Command, under the leadership of the very gallant Squadron Leader D. R. S. Bader, D.S.O., D.F.C., No. 1 (Canadian) Squadron, now also came into the line and acquitted itself with great distinction.

I must confess that I had been a little doubtful of the effect which their experience in their own countries and in France might have had upon the Polish and Czech pilots, but my doubts were soon laid to rest, because all three squadrons swung in the fight with a dash and enthusiasm which is beyond praise. They were inspired by a burning hatred for the Germans which made them very deadly opponents. The first Polish Squadron. (No. 303) in No. 11 Group, during the course of a month, shot down more Germans than any British unit in the same period. Other Poles and Czechs were used in small numbers in British squadrons, and fought very gallantly, but the language was a difficulty, and they were probably most efficiently employed in their own National units. Other foreign pilots were employed in British squadrons, but not in appreciable numbers. The American “Eagle” Squadron was in process of formation during the Battle.

The best-scoring non-commonwealth unit during the Battle of Britain was Polish No. 303 Squadron on Hurricanes. It became operational with No. 11 Group in the last days of August and saw heavy action during the following weeks. The squadron claimed no less than 126 German aircraft shot down until the end of October. Although it is now known that this tally was exaggerated, the Poles undoubtedly made significant contribution in the later part of the Battle, and even more so in the years to follow.

Contribution of the Auxiliary Air Force

The Auxiliary squadrons were by this time practically indistinguishable from regulars. It will be remembered that the Scottish auxiliaries were responsible for the first air success of the war in the Firth of Forth. To set off against the discontinuity of their training in peacetime they had the great advantage of permanency of personnel, and the Flight Commanders at the outbreak of the War were senior and experienced. At the same time, this very permanence led to the average age of the pilots being rather high for intensive fighting, which exercises a strain which the average man of 30 cannot support indefinitely. This point has now ceased to be of importance because of fresh postings. It is mentioned only because it is a factor to be kept in mind in peacetime. No praise can be too high for the Auxiliaries, both as regards their keenness and efficiency in peace time and their fighting record in war.

I have read Churchill’s History of the Second World War several times and was always interested in reading this despatch but until now unable to locate it. A masterful work written in a way mlost comparable to Churchill’s writing, the master of words himself.
Thank you for making it available.

Thank you for words out of the mouth of Dowding himself. They really do lay flat on the table what the true situation was by the time the Battle of Britain began. I had never understood why July 10th was thought to be the start of the BoB, or that it was his analysis to choose that date. The man from Moffat with the dour Scots face didn’t get proper treatment before, during or after the battle, did he. As a result of not having the planes he needed, and Hitler successfully bombing our airfields to bits, what it boiled down to as the saving of Britain, was, it seems, the itsy bitsy teeny weeny tiny winy fiddly piddly little mistake one of Hitler’s bomber pilots made in dropping a few bombs on London (accidentally) on August 24th and Churchill’s instant response to bomb Berlin, that enraged Hitler into one of those big bad goofs he was capable of, the Blitz of London. And so we kept flying! And real thanks, Lord Beaverbrook, too.. Whew..

Removing your Stained Glass Garden Stone From the Mold

Once you stone has hardened you are ready to remove it from the mold.  Different formulas of cement take different times to harden. If you use a quick dry cement or an accelerator it will harden quicker.  You will be able to test the hardness using your fingernail.  If it feels like stone it is ready.  I normally let mine sit overnight.  In the video below a week is recommended. The main thing is to not remove it from the mold until it is completely hard.  If you do it will fall apart.

To remove the stone from the mold just lay down a towel and flip the mold over onto the towel. Pull on the edges of the mold gently all the way around and push gently on the back of the mold until you feel the stone release.  It should fall onto the towel.  Once you have the stone out you will remove the contact paper and scrub any cement off the top of the glass and then put the stone on some dowels or a rack so that it can fully cure.  This may take a week or so.

The widget below features diamondcrete, stained glass patterns, molds and a nice program for resizing patterns called rapid resizer.

Many solutions for muddy carpet

Staff writer

A rainy — and muddy — summer has left many homeowners dealing with mud-soiled carpet.

Jeannie Wildin at County Seat Home Decorating Center in Marion said frequent use of an efficient vacuum is crucial for carpet care.

“Many times we go into customers’ homes and find vacuums with broken belts or plugged up intake tubes,” Wildin said. “These require easy fixes, and with regular maintenance and cleaning of your machine, can keep them working properly.”

Wildin said carpets should be vacuumed weekly, or more often in heavy traffic areas, with pets, and when needed because of usage.

“Soiling from the very wet, muddy season we just encountered is best dealt with by allowing the mud to dry,” Wildin said. “Use the bowl of a spoon or other smooth object to loosen the dirt, then vacuum. It’s also important to deal with spots as they happen. Using an approved spotter to clean spots as they happen is important.”

Wildin recommends cleaning carpets every 12 to 18 months to prolong the life of the carpet.

“Hot water extraction, also known as steam cleaning, is the recommended method of cleaning your carpet,” she said.

According to Better Homes and Gardens, steam cleaning machines are often available at grocery stores. They clean carpet by washing it with a carpet cleaning solution and vacuuming dirty solution into the tank.

Besides renting the machine, it is necessary to purchase carpet shampoo and defoamer solutions. Spot remover and odor remover are also available.

It is important not to overwet the carpet, which can cause carpet shrinkage or discoloration, damage to the carpet pad, or odor.

Wildin said professional carpet cleaning is a combination of the equipment, cleaning solutions, and knowledge on the part of the person cleaning the carpet, but rental machines or machines sold for home use can help homeowners keep on top of stains.

“Use an approved cleaning solution, don’t use more than the instructions allow, and make certain you are extracting as much liquid out as possible,” Wildin said. “Using more product than recommended can actually attract soil. Using good ventilation and air movement to speed drying is important. Only replace furniture after carpet is dry.”

Marion County extension agent Tristen Cope recommends protecting carpets and floors from muddy grime by using a rug or mat for wiping off shoes when entering the house. Gritty soil tracked in on shoes will scratch hard-surface floors and cause deterioration of carpet fibers.

“It is also important to wipe up spots and spills on floors immediately,” Cope said. “On carpet, blot the spill, then treat accordingly.”

Politely Different - Sunday 26th February 2017

Being different is a fundamental feature of any religious commitment. Faith leads us to a different perspective on life, to different priorities, different principles, and these call us to step aside from the default behaviour of those around us. When this happens, the manner in which we go about being different is at least as important as the difference itself.
The prophet Daniel was taken away from his home and marched 1000 miles to a strange city where he knew nothing of the language, the culture or the customs. Having been identified as a young man with great potential he embarked on an intensive course of cultural transformation. He was given a new name, learned a new language and was thoroughly trained in the ways of Babylon.
However, Daniel did not want to lose his Jewish faith, and sought to be different in some significant way. So he resolved to keep to the dietary customs of his national and religious heritage. He declined the rich food and drink of the Babylonian court, and resolved to eat only vegetables, and drink only water.
The important part of this story, however, is the way in which Daniel went about this. He was polite, and courteous. He discussed the idea with his superiors, and adapted his plan to accommodate their concerns. He also proposed a trial period after which his plan could be reassessed. This was far from being a defensive or self-righteous protest.
In the decades that followed, Daniel held firmly to his dietary difference and his routine of private prayer. He did so politely and discreetly, and earned great respect for his beliefs at the highest level.
It is to be expected that people of faith will be different in some aspects of their lives, but this is not a justification for imposing our opinions or our practices on others, nor inconveniencing them in the cause of our own beliefs. We need to be helpfully different, respectfully different, self-sacrifically different and - like Daniel - politely different.

Excuses Excuses! - Sunday 19th February 2017

In the long history of the human species, God has heard a lot of excuses: Moses claimed he was too 'slow of speech'; Isaiah described himself as someone of ‘unclean lips’ - perhaps too quick to speak; David was ignored for being only a shepherd; Gideon excused himself for being too weak and unimportant; Peter ruled himself out for being a sinner; Esther was afraid of the consequences; Abraham and Zechariah both insisted they were too old for the task in question; and Jeremiah said he was too young.
In each case God dismissed the excuse. To Jeremiah he replied, ‘Don't say, “I'm only a boy” … Don't be afraid, for I am with you.’
It shouldn’t surprise us to realise that God sees us quite differently from how we see ourselves. Our own sense of what we can achieve is narrowed by our assumptions and aspirations, and limited by our fears and insecurities. Moses was running away from Egypt; Gideon didn't want to risk standing out from the crowd; Abraham was resigned to being childless; and Jeremiah was only a boy. But God could see beyond these limitations.
All of us are called to be prophets to some extent, to express the purposes and priorities of God as we understand them. But almost all of us excuse ourselves with convincing reasons why it is best for us to do nothing, or say nothing, and leave God’s work to someone else.
What's your excuse? Don’t expect God to agree.
God knows what you are capable of, and you will be surprised. It isn’t always easy or comfortable to follow God’s calling. Jeremiah knew that better than anyone. But don’t stand motionless on the starting line, paralysed by the limitations that you, or other people, have placed on your life. If God says ‘Don’t be afraid, for I am with you’, you can do it.

Message & Medium - Sunday 12th February 2017

To be a prophet - in any age - it is not enough to have a God-given message, you also need an effective medium - a means of getting that message across. Isaiah - the greatest of the Old Testament prophets - was a songwriter. When he first grasped God’s message, the events he was called to announce were still 155 years away from happening. During those 155 years his message was not remembered because it was right. In fact it was very unpopular. Isaiah's message survived because people remembered his songs.
We don't know what Isaiah’s music was like; we only have his lyrics. Those lyrics are exquisite. Isaiah was a world-class poet. Because his songs were so beautiful, his message lodged in the minds of ancient Jews until the day came when everything he had sung about finally happened. After that, a succession of admirers followed the great man’s example, expressing the mind of God in beautiful poetry and song. 700 years after Isaiah died, his poetry and insight was still catching hearts and minds, and found a new fan in Jesus.
Jesus quoted Isaiah more than any other prophet, and consciously modelled key parts of his ministry on insights from the great poet/songwriter. But Jesus was no poet. There is no record of him singing, nor did he compose any poetry. Nonetheless, Jesus understood that God’s message requires a robust medium if it is to catch in people’s minds and stay there. So he became a story teller. Whereas Isaiah engaged people’s hearts and minds with music, Jesus made up stories. And those stories are still told across the world today.
We are all called to be prophets - to share our insight into the ways of God with others. But it is not enough to want to tell people about God, we need to find a way of doing so that will capture their attention and open their hearts.

Two-way Forgiveness - Sunday 5th February 2017

As Jonah sank down into the stormy waters of the Mediterranean, he thought he was about to die and he knew he deserved it. He was running away from God’s call, and the storm - which was threatening the lives of everyone on board the ship to Tarshish - was focussed directly on him. Jonah understood his guilt and decreed his own punishment. He was thrown overboard, and as he sank into the turbulent water he called out to God to spare him.
Then came the famous whale. God, who had who had sent a deadly storm against Jonah, had also sent a whale to save him. As Jonah discovered himself to be surprisingly alive in the belly of the whale, he discovered the depths of God’s forgiveness.
Take: 2. God called Jonah once more. This time the prophet obediently made his way to Nineveh - the heartland of his greatest enemies - and dutifully proclaimed God’s impending judgement. Jonah knew about God’s judgement from his own recent experience. With his mission accomplished, he settled down to watch the great city’s downfall.
But nothing happened. The people of Nineveh had called out to God to spare them, just as Jonah had, and God resolved to do just that.
Jonah was not pleased. He had not travelled all that way only for nothing to happen. He had done it to see his enemies destroyed. He was furious at God's graciousness. This prophet, who had gratefully accepted God’s forgiveness a few weeks earlier was not willing to extend the same mercy to the people of Nineveh.
God needed to teach Jonah a lesson, and did so by employing a plant and a worm (Jonah Chapter 4). The point of the lesson was simple. Forgiveness is a two-way process. If you want to be forgiven, you have to be willing to forgive.
Jesus put a clause to that effect in the Lord’s Prayer.

Here is an excerpt from my new

Crystalline Stellar Skulls ~ Who are They Really?”
by Terra Rae of “Team Earth”

Connie and I had become good friends over the years we worked together. She had been clairvoyantly challenged and experienced many physical issues, until we started to do the 5D extractions of the implants and devices that were affecting her in every way imaginable. There were a couple of big past lives in which she saw herself dance with the Dark Wizards.

I understood she had been pulled further into the darkness with the implants, which disturbed her a lot. I told her I would find a fabulous life of great brilliance that she could anchor into.

After the Past Life clearing session we did just that and integrated Connie’s amazing Warrior Goddess Self.

After this amazing release and recalibration, Connie and I asked Grace to join us at the Hot Springs together to recharge.

A Temple of Sound, Rainbows and Stardust

I was in a pool outside by myself, and as I melted into the hot mineral water, and went into a deep space within, a beautiful vision started to unfold. I took a deep breath, and decided to let it bubble up to see what wanted to come through. As it started to unfold, I saw a beautiful area with a river winding around pristine mountains. There was a group of people, high up on the embankment, several hundred feet up.

I then saw what looked like an intricately carved, pagoda-like structure, which looked as though it had come straight from the fairy realm, with spirals and curly corners. It was sitting high over the river, in an area that jutted out. There were several pathways going up to the beautiful structure from different directions. The paths themselves looked like they were made of smooth, white and frosted selenite stones. The large stones were fitted together with small, bright-colored gems, set in between them, that sparkled in the sunlight.

There were pedestals set in and around the grounds. Some were quite a distance back, and they seemed to be located in strategic places. Upon each pedestal sat a beautiful, vibrant Crystalline Stellar Skull. The Skulls, which were several different colors, seemed to glow and radiate light. Connie was a man in that life, and I saw him leading a small group of Beings in beautiful, light-colored, flowing robes and capes. They came down one of the stone pathways, then climbed the steps to the platform of the six-sided pagoda ~ which was actually part of a large Merkaba.

Forming a circle of twelve, with Connie in the middle, they started singing ~ and they seemed to go into a trance as they danced. The energy in the group began to build, and in one swift move, Connie sent the lower edge of his white robe flying around ~ and it lit up, as though it had a life of its own.

The rolled-up hem of Connie’s robe shone with rainbow colors. When he moved, the bottom of the robe seemed to dance of its own accord. It flew through the air, and it bounced around as he started to do a beautiful movement. The others slowly started to move as well, as Connie had the lead. I was able to see brilliant colors shoot right off his robe, and they arced over the walkway right to the Crystalline Skulls ~ lighting them up even more with the dance.

Showering Rainbows

People started to gather, entering the area along the walkways between the Crystalline Skulls on the pedestals and the raised pagoda. The multicolored arcs of Light would create a pattern of rainbows that seemed to shower down all the colored rays, looking like Stardust coming from the dancers. The beautiful Beings on the platform were all starting to dance and sing even more. They all followed Connie’s lead, and they too sent off these shimmering rainbow arcs of Crystalline Light. The people watching started to tone and sing, and the rainbows showered over them. They seemed to sway within the rainbows of Light, gently moving around and upon the beautiful stone walkways. Everyone seemed to light up with this display of the Rainbow Light. The more I observed, the more color and energy I could see that was coming from the people who had come to observe or participate. This incredible energy expression was raising everyone’s frequencies, expanding their auras. They all seemed to come more alive. The Crystalline Skulls on the pedestals became beautiful beacons of Light, which seemed to come to life as they shone and pulsated brightly. The whole site was just extraordinary and vibrant! When the area around the Skulls and the walkways lit up completely, the dancers focused their attention upon the river itself, sending these beautiful rainbow arcs of Light into the water as it flowed by. The whole river sparkled as it lit up!

The dancers, in their trance, then focused on the shores and banks of the river across from them. As their robes were swirling around and shooting off the colored lights, they sent more and more sparklers to the opposite shores. On the hills and along the shores of the river, animals began to gather. They came to experience this magnificent, heartfelt energy, which was being directed from the hearts of the dancers, to serve all those around.

The people continued to dance, sway and move around, while their bodies seemed to become even more alive and responsive as the radiant Light and sound filled them. They stayed upon the stone paths, which also seemed to light up and hum.

Around the skirts of this pagoda, carved wood dragons with inlaid colored stones seemed to dance in the reflections of the Light. Everything seemed so alive and vibrant as all experienced this grand display.

While this cosmic dance continued ~ with the rolled ends of the robes sparkling and lighting up the platform ~ it seemed that everything around was lighting up. Even the water was sparkling now as well! All the people and the animals seemed to be in a state of bliss. The trees and vegetation all around started to glow and radiate, as all the hearts became joined together with this splendid Light.

Later, we called in Devin, since I wanted to know where and when this scene had actually taken place. He chuckled and said, “It was in the civilization of Uriger, a very long time ago. Maybe 50,000 years ago! The reason you were able to see this scene so clearly is that you indeed were one of the dancers. You used to dance and celebrate in this way to raise everyone’s frequency ~ keeping them strong and healthy and very alive!”

It made sense to me, since I could see this whole story, and this past life, so clearly. We must have been in a 5D body. How fun is that? My response was, “Wow, let’s do this again on Terra Christa, the New Earth! I’m sure there will be many that will want to play like this!”

Talk on the Chinese in New Zealand.

Thank you for inviting my wife and I to Oamaru today. My talk is on the Chinese in New Zealand; an overview with some of the lessons to be learned.

The Chinese were the third racial group to emigrate to New Zealand, after the Maori and European. They were the earliest Asian people to come, if one is to exclude the Asian origin of the Maori. The first known business contact between New Zealand and China was in the seal fur trade, the Chinese being the top customers of the pelts. Itinerant Chinese came early on ships to New Zealand, and 16 were mentioned at Wellington in 1843. The earliest known such itinerant was Appo Hocton. In 1842, he jumped ship at Wellington to eventually settle in Nelson, and his mixed blood descendants have traced his story from that time.

China was a world power until about 1800. Around then, it had about one third of the world’s Gross Domestic Product. However, China stagnated and was beaten in the First Opium War (1839-42). This was a small war but far reaching in consequences for China. Among its effects was Canton city losing the monopoly it had in foreign trade from 1757. The land and sea trade routes which had converged on Canton were thereby plunged into economic depression. This spawned civil disorder and the terrible Taiping Rebellion (1851-64), arising in the north of Kwangtung province. Said to be the worst civil war in world history this rebellion erupted northwards but the ferocious Red Turban Rebellion (1854-56), widespread Hakka-Poontei conflict (1856-67) between these two branches of the Han people, and the capture of Canton city itself in the Second Opium War (1856-60), occurred within Kwangtung Province itself.

These calamities compelled Cantonese men to seek a way out of the breakdown in economic infrastructure and governance, and from the 1850s, a chief avenue of escape opened in emigration through the ports of Canton, Macao and Hong Kong. The principal destination was ‘Nanyang’ or South-east Asia and the safest port for leaving and returning was Hong Kong. But somehow, an intrepid stream of Cantonese goldseekers arose who followed the gold rushes in California, Victoria (Australia), British Columbia and Otago. How this emigrant stream first arose is still unknown but in 1865, two invitations from Otago were sent to the Chinese in Victoria to come to the Otago goldfields. The Chinese then numbered some 40,000 in Victoria and 15,000 in New South Wales, nearly all of the Cantonese goldseeker stream mentioned.

The goldseekers era.

The Cantonese goldseekers came after the Otago Provincial Council promised them equal justice ‘as others receive’. From 1865-1901, the majority of the Chinese in New Zealand were goldminers, mainly in Otago-Southland but with a spillover to the West Coast. By 1869, they were calling for kith and kin to come direct from China, and this became their chief immigrant stream. The highest recorded number of Chinese in 19th century New Zealand was 5,004, in 1881, but to give an indication of the smallness of this country, the 5,000 Chinese comprised 1% of the non-Maori population then. Thereafter their numbers fell, as the easily won gold approached exhaustion. The biggest recorded number of Chinese goldseekers in Otago was 4,159 in 1871, and on the West Coast, 1,609, in 1891. Again, these do not seem big numbers, but in Central Otago in the early 1870s, the Chinese were some 17% of the general goldfields population, 40% of the goldminers and they gathered in hundreds in certain fields. In the mid-1880s, they were still about 8% of the general population in Central Otago and to 1885, still about 40% of the goldminers. So they were very much a part of the southern New Zealand goldmining history. Incidentally, compare these percentages with the 13% of Asians in Auckland today.

What were the characteristics of the Cantonese goldseekers? They were rural Cantonese, from the peasantry, the backbone of China. They were virtually all males who had left their women behind, partly because of their foot-binding custom and the risks inherent in overseas travel. Most were poorly literate or illiterate, with little money. They principally relied on the Chinese family system both at home and overseas, whereby they formed interlinked kinship groupings of clan, smaller circles of extended family and nuclear families. The goldseekers extended this system to create county groupings which were based upon Cantonese counties of origin. Within each grouping, an individual member found comradeship, trust and cooperation, and the groupings got stronger as they got smaller. More, the linkages between the groups meant that the smaller groups could share the skills and resources available in a larger group.

Thus they were able to spread and maximise what advantages they had, and minimise their disadvantages. In this way the Cantonese goldseekers were enabled to come 10,000km to the southernmost goldfields in the world, recruit Chinese doctors to accompany them, establish Chinese stores and inns, keep to Chinese food, form benevolent societies to add to personal effort in providing succour to the sick, disabled and indigent, and even send their dead back to China.

‘Gold and China’ were their twin aspirations. ‘Gold’ was the capital they were after and an ounce of gold saved was worth more to them than to an European, because of the foreign exchange rate of one New Zealand pound to three to seven Chinese taels, plus the lower Chinese cost of living. ‘China’ remained their home country by the emotional pull of their families and ancestral soil. Thus they were sojourners, not settlers. Like modern New Zealand sojourners who go, say, to Arabia, they went overseas to get the most money in the shortest time; they seldom studied the local language, customs or religion; nor participated in local community or national affairs or the armed forces; they mixed largely with the local ‘expatriate’ population (as sojourners call themselves today), and because they stayed apart, they seldom intermarried. Since the Cantonese were many and from humble origins they were regarded as worrisome competitors who could drive down wages and adversely affect their social level of Europeans. The Irish Catholics especially regarded them negatively in all the goldfields countries of the Pacific rim.

New Zealand was a European colony which was suitable for European settlers. But, the Chinese were of another race, who despite their peasant background were intelligent and held a high moral and cultural sense. This enabled them to act confidently and adapt quickly to new social conditions. Their farmers, for instance, quickly used their water wheels and water pumps for goldmining, and quickly learned to be market gardeners, shearers, harvesters, rabbiters. Their rural artisans quickly turned out New Zealand furniture (as in Australia), became tailors, bootmakers, stone masons, road and railway navvies, adept water race builders, tunnellers. They made a determined attempt to become tobacco growers and cigarette and cigar manufacturers in Otago (as in California). Their working life seemed ideally to span some 30 years in which they went overseas in early adulthood and saved £100 or so in around five years, whereupon they returned home for one to three years till the money was spent. They then went overseas again for another spell, ideally repeating this cycle four times till the last return home in their fifties, when a man was considered old in the Otago goldfields. However, the Rev. A. Don recorded hundreds who had never returned to China despite many years - even 30 or 40 years - in New Zealand. In the end, though, most appeared to have made it back to China either in life or in death, the indigent achieving this chiefly by donations from their Chinese peers. The Cantonese gold seekers carried out two mass exhumations to send bodies or remains back to ancestral villages; they regarded aiding a body or remains home to China as one of their highest charitable acts. Indeed, the Tung Wah Hospitals were founded in 19th century Hong Kong to facilitate the journey home of the exhumed dead from overseas.

What did they achieve in the goldfields? The West Coast scene is unresearched, but enough is known of the Otago goldfields to bear testimony to the skilfulness of the Cantonese goldseekers. They formed the strongest cooperative mining groups whose main hallmark was the method of mining called ‘paddocking’ in which they methodically dug up the whole claim - say a six acre claim - and convey the wash dirt to a source of water for washing. They dominated river claims, went to the secondary, more difficult goldfields, prospected even very difficult country like the Dart river, tunnelled so that Europeans marvelled, for example, at nearly an acre of unstable ground which they found tunnelled out by Chinese and standing only on props. This notwithstanding, most were small claim miners content to save about £100 and leave. But there were a few exceptional Chinese who reinvested their money in Otago into bigger and bigger projects. The best known of them was Choie Sew Hoy, the key pioneer of the New Zealand Gold Dredge, and Chew Chong who left Otago for Taranaki where he became the pioneer in the use of refrigeration in butter factories. Overall, the Chinese goldseekers left behind them an Otago vein of admiration for their doggedness, industry, skill, self-reliance and peaceableness that has lasted to this day.

The second generation.

The Cantonese goldseekers’ money at home went into family spending priorities like marriage costs and debt repayment; money left over went into land purchase (above all) and small businesses in the market towns. Next was the building of better homes and towers to respectively enjoy and protect their new wealth. To achieve this sequence of betterment, the goldseeker often sought to augment his savings by getting his son or sons overseas too - and he thought of helping kinsfolk overseas also, in order to give them a working chance. The goldfields were an ‘one crop’ industry but New Zealand could provide other work. By inclination and because Europeans will not readily hire Chinese, some goldseekers sought to establish small businesses at first in and then outside the goldfields, going to urban areas all over New Zealand. Most of the early businesses were market gardens but the first Chinese groceries-cum-fruitshops had appeared by 1878 and the first Chinese laundries by 1891. A move into fishing and fish selling proved unsuccessful and the above three businesses - the market gardens, fruitshops and laundries - became the archetypal Chinese occupations for the next two Chinese generations in New Zealand. They provoked the ire of European competitors; by laws and national laws were passed against them and even boycotts took place, but finally the trade unions left them alone, probably because they served certain social needs well and cheaply.

Also tending to perpetuate the flow of sojournism was the situation at home. Whatever assets the sojourners could build up was traditionally split equally among sons in legacies. Therefore, many sons were left with the same problem as their fathers, how to get more capital in a persistently disturbed civil environment that was China’s lot for so many years. The frequent answer was for them to go or keep on going overseas, as sojourners. And it was somewhat easier for them to do so, because of better travel knowledge, better shipping, established contacts in Hong Kong and overseas, and the early Chinese businesses providing them with a job to go to.

Thus a second generation of Cantonese sojourners arose to come to New Zealand, and their earnings at home gradually added to family land holdings, housing and local standing. They became people of local importance because of their relative wealth. So, sojournism became established as a kind of specialised Cantonese industry, passing from father to son or sons by chain migration.

However, New Zealand countered their entry by increasing immigration barriers, beginning with an entry poll tax of £10 in 1881. This tax was levied only on newcomers, and not on re-entrants. As it turned out, £10 was not much of a barrier to the goldseeker’s sons, nor to some independent Cantonese sojourners who came to New Zealand because they had been shut out of other Pacific goldfields countries by harsher legislation. My grandfather was one of the latter, because he found it difficult to get back into Australia. But their total numbers were not large; between 1881-1900, only 1,274 newcomers paid the poll tax. With this small influx the total Chinese population in New Zealand in 1901 was only 2,857, being a mixture of the declining first generation and the small number of the second generation. Nevertheless, they included the hard core of determined Chinese sojourners.

The young second generation consolidated the small businesses amid a rising clamour of New Zealand prejudice against their race. Agitation against Chinese competition had broadened to target not only their competition and sojournism, and also their race. They were alleged to be an inferior, unworthy race. The poll tax was raised to £100 in 1896; the Old Age Pensions Act, 1898 - said to be the greatest Act passed by the Liberal Government - specifically excluded Chinese whether naturalised or not; naturalisation was made more difficult and then stopped for Chinese in 1908; and a reading test was introduced on top of the poll tax in 1907, with the special purpose to keep out Chinese women. A White New Zealand was said to be the national wish by 1908.

And yet, things were not impossible for the Chinese sojourner in New Zealand. The situation was that once a Chinese man paid the poll tax and passed the (later) reading test at the quay, he was admitted as a permanent resident. He was not a citizen and could not vote, but a Chinese sojourner did not care about this privilege anyway. The crux for him was that he was protected by the law - which could not afford to loosen its standards at any cost. So the Chinese sojourner could still earn, save, and take away his money. Gradually the second generation not only consolidated but also spread their businesses, so that market gardens, fruitshops and laundries throughout New Zealand became synonymous with Chinese. My grandfather was said to be able to save up to half of his disposable income. One story is that he rolled his cigarette butts and smoked them. He and his peers in New Zealand still relied on the kith and kin and county groupings as of old, especially in loans and donations to each other. For who else would lend or donate to a Chinese?

The third sojourner generation.

By the mid-1900s, my grandfather’s generation was able to pay the £100 poll tax and bring out the first of their sons, the third generation, to New Zealand. My grandfather and his generation not only consolidated the sojourner way of life overseas but also at home where their families and villages kept on growing in local wealth and influence. Since China remained in turmoil, the original rationale for going overseas remained, to get the capital that cannot be got at home, and bring it home.

But nothing stands still and there was some change. Overseas, the more prosperous of the New Zealand Chinese sojourners, especially the fruitshop owners, had become established enough to be able to support a family here and they began to bring their families to New Zealand, they thought at least temporarily to get them out of danger. This budding movement was thwarted by the reading test and World War 1, when lack of shipping stopped all migration. Back in China, the money of my grandfathers’ generation had extended the welfare of their families to education. They had built secondary schools and sent their sons to them. So when shipping became available postwar, my grandfather’s generation had the poll tax money saved and their sons - the third generation, my fathers’ generation - had the education and went through cram courses to pass the reading test. As a result, 1,489 Chinese newcomers were able to enter New Zealand in 1918-20. The surprised New Zealand authorities responded with an unsurmountable permit system plus the £100 poll tax in 1921, but the White New Zealand policy of keeping Chinese out and letting those already in the country leave or die out, had already been breached.

However, the third generation of Chinese sojourners could do little more than carry on the occupations of their fathers. Even the few Chinese families which had earlier managed to come here could not thrive. So their primary focus remained in China, where the successive three generations of sojourners kept progressing in landlordism, fine housing and towers, and local prestige. Thus my grandfather, father and his brother had acquired about 40 shek (27ha) of good land by the 1930s, or 20 times the subsistence area needed per average family in the district. Besides this, they had built a fine house of tang brick, a fine tower and owned a shop in the local Ng market town.

Yet there was slow change in New Zealand’s racial attitudes from the late 1920s, and this was initiated by forces from outside New Zealand. A basic reason for the bad treatment of the Chinese was because China and the Chinese race were scorned as weak and inferior. The Chinese in New Zealand could not hope to change this perception by themselves, although as mentioned, from the earliest days they were perceived, albeit grudgingly, as an industrious and law-abiding people. However, in 1927 China was reunified by Kuomingtang forces, and from 1931 were fighting a full-blown war against the Japanese. As the Japanese threat spread to New Zealand, the Chinese became ‘gallant allies’ and the good qualities of the local Chinese were recalled. By this time, the Kuomingtang had a strong consulate in New Zealand, and it cooperated with the Chinese in New Zealand who had formed a strong New Zealand Chinese Association for war fund-raising and lobbying. In consideration of all these factors, the New Zealand government allowed 249 Chinese wives and 244 young children to come as war refugees, because the Pearl Delta was invaded in 1938. They came on permits which were renewable two yearly, and had to go back to China after the war, but they were safe for the time being. I came with the children.

The post-war changes.

After the Pacific war, the government allowed the refugees to stay and more families to come. This privilege was taken up because of the civil war chaos then in China, and so the Chinese in New Zealand again reach a population of 5,000 in 1951. But the Chinese communists gained power in 1949, and in 1951-52 they destroyed the Cantonese sojourners’ home base and banned emigration. All land was confiscated, landlordism was eliminated and the landlord class was reduced to the level of the general peasantry.

By then, only 44% of the Chinese men in New Zealand had family here, but the families who were here began to root themselves in this country. They became the leading faction among the New Zealand Chinese. The families really had no choice other than to stay because of what was happening in China, but the story is more positive than that, because the children were growing up in New Zealand. They influenced and were influenced favourably in their schools and young lives when one is most optimistic, and they proved to their parents that they could successfully integrate and assimilate here. Whereas their parents saw no other choice to settlement in New Zealand, the young folk would have no other choice. Thus after three generations, sojournism finally died with the fourth generation of the Chinese in New Zealand, who chose settlement instead. And in 1951, Chinese were allowed naturalisation again, so one of the two main pillars of the White New Zealand policy was dropped. From that date other discriminatory laws were gradually abolished. Furthermore, by happy chance, the refugee children were allowed free education and about one third of them went on to graduate from university. We led the Chinese community into the professions and higher social achievement.

Communist China did not generally relax the ban on emigration till 1976, by which time most of the ‘bachelor husbands’ in New Zealand and their wives in China had died. So there has not been another big wave of immigrants from the Cantonese countryside. In 1986, the Cantonese in New Zealand had only reached about 13,000 full blood and 4,000 mixed blood persons in 1986, mainly by natural increase. But by 1986, 9,000 other Chinese had already emigrated to New Zealand, chiefly Indo-Chinese refugees and mixed blood Chinese-Pacific Islanders. And in 1986, New Zealand abolished the other main pillar of the White New Zealand policy, the preference for European immigrants. As well, the need to have a job to come to was also dropped. The time had come for the White New Zealand policy to go, and international trade and investment and the need for skills recruitment reinforced the move to loosen up immigration for Asians.

Consequently from 1986-96, a net 55,000 Chinese immigrants came and stayed from non-traditional sources - from Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, mainland China and Taiwan. The total Chinese population rose to 82,000 in 1996 and since then by another net 22,000 to a total of 104,000 in 2001. Other figures are as follows; the Chinese are 44% of the 238,000 Asians now in New Zealand. In relation to the overall New Zealand population, the Chinese comprise 2.7% and all Asians, 6.6%. Compare this with Europeans (80%) Maoris (14.7%) and Pacific Islanders (6.5%). About two thirds of the Chinese and other Asians live in Auckland where they form about 13% or 10% of the city’s population. By the year 2016, the best estimate of New Zealand’s population will be 9% Asian or 370,000 people.

What are the lessons to be learned about Chinese immigration?

For Chinese, the essential lesson is that sojournism has little bonding with the host society and inevitably leads to questions of their worth. Whatever their good qualities and service, the Chinese sojourners chose to be strangers who remained strangers. What is more, they came over a life-time, unlike the shorter stays of many of our modern New Zealander sojourners, and their work was competitive to members of the host society. This lack of bonding must not - indeed, cannot - happen again if we truly wish to become one of New Zealand’s peoples. The crux of the past lack of bonding was that the Chinese did not share in national sacrifice. To be sure, they were largely an aging population in both World Wars. A few Chinese full-blood individuals did go to war, and their community raised funds and helped in other ways, but not enough for a public perception to arise that the Chinese did their full share in war. In these fundamental points, the crackpot theories of racial inferiority and eugenics were merely overlays in the old resentment against Chinese in New Zealand. One hastens to add that many mixed-blood Chinese-Europeans and Chinese-Maoris were of the right age to go to either World War 1 or 2 and made a full contribution.

Fifty years after New Zealand’s last major war, the war generation has almost died off or are in very old age, and today’s New Zealanders seem to regard all residents as on an equal plane before any new national conflict that may come. The proof of this attitude is the relaxation of laws and regulations against the entry of Chinese since World War 2 and particularly from 1986.

Are there lessons for Europeans to learn about Chinese immigration? One lesson is that the Chinese have to decide for themselves whether they want to be New Zealanders or not. If they decide to be so, then the Cantonese have almost fully shown that the Chinese can settle and contribute like anyone else to the country. Generally, New Zealand has spent relatively little on its Chinese minority, yet it still needs to learn another lesson, that all immigrants need lots of time to adapt to a new country but the Chinese need more time than say, the British immigrant, because of their widely different original culture. It is a misunderstanding to expect the Chinese - or any other immigrant group - to create a new Silicon Valley in this country within a year or two; they need to learn the nuances in New Zealand language and precision in English writing, form a new network of friends and business associates, adapt to new systems, laws and expectations of the workplace. These are things that would take us years to do if in a reversal of roles, we are emigrants say, to China. Would we use our hard-won capital in a cavalier fashion, and has the host country prepared the way with tangible encouragement and site infrastructure? The American Rand Corporation expresses the fact that all immigrants experience a drop in their earnings on arrival. A third lesson is that the Cantonese immigration story, and that of the recent Chinese immigrants, reveal that their best immigrants for New Zealand are their children, especially the children who can go through all or most of our educational system. They will grow up with New Zealand perspectives, friends and national loyalties. Yet even they confirm the long time that is needed for social integration and assimilation, as they pass through an education and establish themselves in society during young adulthood. This does not mean that Chinese adults cannot integrate or assimilate - numerous adult newcomers settle successfully - only that young children can do it more thoroughly. Adults will mix less than a child who daily goes out of the family to school, but all of them, young and old, will require tolerance, a fair go, and the little kindnesses and thoughtfulness that change a stranger into a good neighbour. Remember that they are vulnerable people when arriving and assimilating.

In modern New Zealand, we generally have a fair and tolerant, increasingly multicultural society. Yes, we do have a portion of people against conspicuous immigration, and a natural antipathy against a lot of immigrants - of any race - arriving all at once. It is also unfortunate that any people influx will include a number of bad types who had welcomed the chance to ‘get away’ - and provoke both their own and the wider community in the new homeland. That said, we New Zealanders presently have the education, the familiarity in inter-racial relationships through Maori-Pacific Island- Cantonese - pakeha mixing and the physical space to further develop a successful multicultural society. The new Asians have already arrived in numbers and short of a massacre or mass deportations, they will remain and gradually increase. In this new society, the Chinese who through their Cantonese predecessors have long been in but not an integral part of New Zealand society, should surely play an important and productive role.
