- We're now in the final throes of the semester (only two weeks left once the students get back from Thanksgiving), and they just had their second exam in my principles class). So, I had about 1000 pages of grading to do (I don't do scan-tron graded exams). But they did extremely well, so I feel good about it. Now all I have left to cover is CAPM and WACC, so I'm right on schedule.
- I've been experimenting with online web-conferencing software as an enhancement to my classes. We use a really clunky system called Sakai, which has limited web-conferencing capabilities (only 15 or so concurrent users). So I and another faculty who's also a techie have been looking into using a commercial vendor that will allow us to do deliver online instruction (and review sessions) for 50-100 students at a time. I figure that this (along with my pre-recorded videos) could be the backbone for a fairly thorough and well-done online class.
- The little guy is talking up a storm, and is a riot to be around. He loves to get a running start and then do a running headbutt. Unfortunately, he's at just the right height that he hits his dad in a very sensitive area. But it was pretty funny at Thanksgiving when he caught his uncle unawares. It probably didn't help that I distracted him at just the right moment. when he wasn't. Not nice, I know. But funny
- Trying to get a paper out this weekend, another one in the following week, and a third one over December break. And then I'll do the usual scramble to get a new piece together for the FMA deadline in January.
Gotta get to bed. Later.

My Colonial style home was built in 1963.
John F. Kennedy was president!! The Beatles released "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" in 1963, and the cost of a new car was $3000! Alot of updating has been done to my home and by the time we bought it, it was a grand older matron. That was 7 years ago. I love the charm of this house but it keeps me busy! Home redecorating blogs have replaced TV for me. Since we moved in, we have redone the master bathroom,
refinished the hard wood floors,
tiled the kitchen and entry....
and repainted almost the whole interior. There is still so much more I want to do! And I need help!!
So here is what I am thinking....as I have been reading many of the blogs and comments over the last few months, I have come to realize just how talented YOU are! Your ideas have inspired so many of my projects! You all are GUUUD!
I am stumped in one major, important space, though - my kitchen.
My first huge faux pas was painting over the existing wallpaper when we moved in. I could not look at those periwinkle ducks one more day :} ~ I was too busy unpacking to strip the paper, so on went the paint. Now....I must find a way to not only strip the paper, but the paint over it......help.....I.have.no.idea.how.to.do.this.!! And what will the condition of the walls be afterwards? ...sigh...
So, has anyone ever tried to strip painted, wallpapered walls before? Maybe I should just paper OVER them again? Like with beadboard wallpaper maybe? That would sure play into the "colonial" theme here! Let me know what you think.
By the way...here are some of my fav bloggers. Read some of these and see if you don't get super inspired to redo a few rooms in your home too!
Till Tomorrow....at my Tara!~~~

First used in the 17th century, Gin is a popular alcoholic drink that is very smooth to drink; hence, it is generally blended with various ingredients to form a smooth cocktail. An alcohol with a mixed history, it tastes best the same way. Given below are a few Gin cocktails that will tickle your taste buds.
Tom Collins
Few drinks are as refreshing as the Tom Collins on a sultry afternoon. Combine some delicious Gin along with superfine sugar and club soda and blend it with lemon juice to give it a citric twist, all in a glass full of cracked ice for an added cooling effect. For the best authentic experience, make sure to serve in a Collins Glass.
Classic and strong, this lip-smacking delicious concoction is prepared by mixing gin, vermouth and Campari in a double rocks glass and is garnished with the twist of an orange peel. Savour the flavour of this tangy blend as you rejuvenate in your backyard on a summer afternoon.
If you like a few extra twists of lemon in your spirit, then this is the drink for you. This easy-to-make cocktail is gin based, kissed with a hint of mint, and splashed with some lime. Well-shaken, the mix is then poured into an ice-filled goblet, topped with soda water and enjoyed with a minty garnish that freshens you up with its first sip.
Cucumber Gimlet
Feel as cool as a cucumber as you drink this blend of cucumber puree and gin, sip by sip. Start making this delightful drink by adding four to five sliced pieces of cucumber, followed by some fresh lime and a hint of simple syrup. Don't forget to top it up with a few ice cubes.
Passion Fruit Mint
This tropical cocktail makes for the perfect summer day drink. First, blend a serving of passion fruit with some smooth Blue Riband Gin. Add a hint of fresh mint along with a small helping of honey, and watch as this swirls around the fruity core of this concoction; follow it up with some more Gin for added strength and shake well for half a minute. Strain it into a glass, and garnish it with a mint leaf.
The Admiral Benbow
For those who like things the old fashioned way, look no further than the iconic Admiral Benbow. This sweet-tasting cocktail does a great job of amplifying the already lively flavour of gin. Pour the gin and dry vermouth into a mixing glass and top it with some ice cubes. Add a dash of lime juice and stir well. Tip it into an old-fashioned glass and garnish with a Maraschino Cherry.

Heart Failure
Heart failure is a serious medical condition that affects millions of people, and prevention is very important. While the name may sound scary, and the condition is very serious, it doesn't mean that a person's death is imminent and they are absolutely doomed. However, it does mean that medical treatment and lifestyle changes are in order. With strict heart-healthy living and medical management, people with heart failure can have many additional years full of life.
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart does not pump as well as it should. This weakness or inefficiency of the heart can be felt in different ways, depending on which parts of the heart are affected. The terms applied to heart failure (congestive, right-sided, systolic dysfunction, etc) describe the type of heart failure and depend on which aspects of the condition are being considered. While there is a lot of common ground and overlap, these terms are important in that people with heart failure may receive different treatments based on the characteristics of their type of heart failure. See Terminology at the end of this article for more.
There are many different conditions and factors that contribute to the development of heart failure, and it is a condition that can develop gradually over a long period of time, although an event or illness can also cause heart failure to develop rapidly. Sometimes, the damage to the heart that causes it to work less efficiently can be reversed, but in many cases, the damage is irreversible.
There are a number of causes of heart failure, some of which people may not know about until the symptoms of heart failure start to appear.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart attacks are the most common cause of heart failure.
CAD is so common that it is often simply called "heart disease" and everybody knows what you mean. Other names used to describe the same thing are coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease (when it involves the coronary arteries that feed the heart), and atherosclerotic heart disease.
High blood pressure and diabetes are risk factors for coronary artery disease, and they can also contribute to the development of heart failure on their own.
Other causes of heart failure include the following:
- Heart valve disease
- Damage to the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy)
- Congenital heart disease
- Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
- Inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis)
Some chronic diseases and conditions that are associated with other parts of the body can also lead to heart failure, such as:
- Kidney failure (renal failure)
- Emphysema
- Severe anemia
- Too much iron in the blood
- Thyroid disorders
- Lupus
- Amyloidosis
- Sarcoidosis
Alcohol abuse and cocaine can injure the heart muscle, as can HIV/AIDS. Additionally, some cancer chemotherapies have heart toxicity as a side effect and can lead to heart failure.
This list is not exhaustive, and other factors can lead to heart failure or tip the balance toward heart failure in someone who is just at the cusp.
There are many symptoms of heart failure, but most are not specific to heart failure, alone. Heart failure also tends to coexist with other illnesses. If you think you might have heart failure, your doctor should evaluate you. If you have heart failure, you should see a doctor regularly.
Symptoms of heart failure often relate to not getting enough oxygen where it's needed and/or too much fluid where it doesn't belong:
- Shortness of breath (during activity, or when lying down at night)
- Fatigue and weakness during exercise
- Swelling (edema) of the ankles and legs
- Persistent cough with blood-tinged sputum
- Dizziness, confusion, fainting
- Waking up frequently to urinate at night
- Loss of appetite
- Weight gain from fluid
- Swelling in the abdomen or in the lower extremities
The symptoms of heart failure usually appear gradually, as most of the causes are conditions that worsen over time. However, in some cases, when the cause is sudden, such as a heart attack or infection, the symptoms will also appear much more quickly.
Heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization in adults over age 65. Heart failure almost always requires some time in the hospital, not only because it is a serious, life threatening condition, but also because many of the diagnostic tests and the initial treatment require the person to be carefully monitored. After the person's condition has improved, treatment will continue at home, usually for the rest of the person's life.
The specific treatment regimen your doctor recommends depends on the severity and type of heart failure. It may be important for you and your doctor to know your ejection fraction, or EF. This number can help determine the best treatment initially and help measure the success of your treatment, once initiated. Often regimens address the root causes of heart failure and include medications to help reduce the fluid in the body and to help the heart in its job.
Treating the causes
- Control hypertension
- Quit smoking
- Treat cholesterol (lipid disorders)
- Get regular exercise
- Avoid alcohol and illicit drugs
- ACE inhibitor or ARB, if appropriate
Treating the symptoms and helping your heart function
- Continue with the items listed above
- Diuretics (water pills)
- ACE inhibitor or ARB
- Digoxin (Lanoxin)
- Beta-blockers
- Aldosterone antagonists
In addition to medications, there are a number of medical procedures that can help with heart failure, depending upon the severity. The implantation of an automated cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD), mechanical circulatory support and heart transplants are all options for those who have more severe cases of heart failure.
There are several lifestyle changes that most people with heart failure are also asked to make including dietary changes, restrictions on activities, and they will be required to weigh themselves daily as well as monitor their blood pressure. Any sudden weight gain or spike in blood pressure can signify a serious problem that needs further attention.
Long-term Outlook
The long-term prognosis for someone with heart failure can vary greatly. If the problems are found early, the prognosis is good. With the right combination of diet and medication, many people with heart failure go on to live long lives. If the problem is severe, or if treatment isn't adhered to, the condition is deadly.
Statistically, 1 in 5 will die within one year of diagnosis due to complications from heart failure, and that adds up to more than 280,000 deaths per year, but it doesn't have to be that way. Aggressive treatment and lifestyle changes can give a person their life back, instead of taking it away.
Left-sided heart failure: Recall that the left side of the heart takes oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it out to the brain, the kidneys, and the whole body. When the left side of the heart does a poor job getting oxygen-rich blood to the brain, for example, people can feel fatigued, dizzy, and confused. The left ventricle has to be strong enough to do the hard work of pumping pressurized blood, but it cannot be too stiff, or it will not fill up properly. When the left ventricle is too weak in squeezing or contracting, this is called systolic dysfunction. When the left ventricle can't relax properly, and systolic or squeezing function is normal, it can't fill up properly. This is called diastolic dysfunction. When the left ventricle is affected, the left side of the heart has to work extra hard just to pump the same amount of blood. Left-sided heart failure can also cause right-sided heart failure.
Right-sided Heart Failure: Now remember that the right side of the heart takes the tired old blood from the veins and delivers it to the lungs to be fully oxygenated. When the right side of the pump is not doing what it should, blood can back up in the veins, causing excess fluid in the body. The fluid causes swelling under the skin called peripheral edema. This can be foot and ankle swelling if you are standing up or in the small of the back area (sacral edema) if you are mostly lying down.
Congestive heart failure: Congestion refers to blood backing up where it doesn't belong instead of being pumped along. Sites of congestion may include the liver, abdomen, lower extremities and lungs.

Who, after all, would take in an alien with a penchant for cats, no questions asked?
He was the product of a thriving, open, optimistic America. He was a man who could always see the good in people.
A social worker in the 1980s, Tanner had been on the frontline as America's working poor grew and Reaganomics unleashed waves of deindustrialisation.
Despite his dislike of Reagan and the 1980s culture of excess, Tanner was no bleeding heart. While he saw more and more people struggling, in some part of him, he could see a logic in what was happening to his country.
While Willie had always been on the left of the Democratic Party – he'd campaigned for McGovern, supported Kennedy's challenge to Carter in 1980, and was an early supporter of Jesse Jackson in 1984 and 1988 – he was still pragmatic. He'd lived long enough to see times change, and he thought they would once a Democrat took the White House.
Yet, when the US Military's abducted ALF and Willie's best friend was never heard of again, Tanner was hit by a jolt. He came to see the 1980s not as an exception before another American rebirth, but as a newly entrenched norm.
For Tanner, the US Government's treatment of ALF seemed to foreshadow a much wider attack on outsiders throughout the 1990s and into the new century.
As a social worker, he'd worked with the downtrodden all his life. He'd seen how hard it was for migrants to make it in Reagan's America. But when the false promise of Bill Clinton (who Tanner did vote for) proved to be exactly that, and Clinton signed into law Gingrich's Welfare to Work legislation in the 1990s, Tanner broke with official politics in the United States and never looked back.
He could no longer tolerate the way the US Government treated its most downtrodden. And he could not tolerate the way a creeping xenophobia began to infiltrate the nation's public life.
The social crisis echoed a personal one – after his wife Kate embarked on a torrid affair with longtime neighbor Mr Ochmonek, Tanner broke from his comfortable life as well.
So, Tanner left town and headed south, and spent the remainder of the 1990s and most of the 2000s on the Mexican border, ferrying migrants illegally across the Rio Grande. He couldn't save ALF, his marriage, or the country at large, but he could aide Mexican workers as they sought a better life, echoing the refuge he gave an alien from Melmac nearly two decades before.
Sadly, as economic conditions in the US worsened, opportunistic politicians jumped on illegal immigration and whipped up racial resentment as a distraction to social plight. In the ensuing frenzy that erupted, Willie Tanner fell victim to a bullet from neo-fascist Minutemen.
He was attempting to bring a young mother and her son across the border.
He was denounced as a traitor in the right-wing media.
But Willie Tanner was a good man.

Before reading this post, I recommend reading "Do You Struggle With Creating Credibility As An Expert In Your Online Business? Mining Your Competition"
To prove credibility, you have to totally understand your particular, unique audience – and those who search and live online generally.
Consumers have gotten better at spotting phonies, which means they require more proof (or more solid proof).
On the other hand, barriers to online purchasing have dropped. While online security continues to be an issue of concern, there is no longer a huge fear preventing the majority of shoppers – particularly those with cell phones – from parting with credit card information on line.
Some things haven't changed: You will always get the odd customer who purchases a product and instead of asking for a refund, lodges a protest with PayPal.
You will always get the odd client who insists on looking over your shoulder or micro-controlling every step of a project; then complains about cost overages.
These are the human character traits and cultural trends you have to take into account, anticipate and plan for, when setting up your services and website. The more thoroughly you can anticipate, the better you can prevent misunderstandings or dissatisfaction – and happy clients and customers mean better testimonials and better recommendations.
Better recommendations means greater credibility – while complaints (no matter how unjustified) undermine your precious reputation.
I value your input. You can do it in two ways.

We are obviously very excited about our new building, and one of the best parts was all the wide open space! Too much open space can be counter-productive, though, so we decided to give our graphic designers a little more privacy with a hanging wall.
It serves a dual purpose--first of all, it gives the creative people a more private area to do their work. Secondly, it gives the rest of us a place to show off their work!
Our creative team was responsible for all of the designs on each of the panels. As you can see, some of the panels also feature other projects we have done.
This isn't the first hanging wall we have done. Our sister company, Midstates, Inc. has a hanging wall that separates some accounting and scheduling people from the hustle of the main hallway and entry way. The athletic department at Northern State University also utilized a hanging wall to separate some desks from the main area. You can see more pictures of it on our facebook page.
The actual construction of the wall is very simple and lightweight. The panels are even hung together with binder rings! What do you think of our hanging wall? What would you put on yours if you were to make one? We'd love to hear in the comments!

Graduation Party Planning Tips
The calendar has flipped to May (can you believe it?!), which means flowers are blooming, the days are getting longer and warmer, and summer is just around the corner. And if you have a student, it could mean that graduation is coming up…and coming up fast!
Let us help!
This is a big day for your son or daughter, but it's a big day for you, too. You're sending your child off to start a new chapter, be it high school or college. This a time to celebrate and enjoy, not to stress over details and planning. Let Ashley's Pastries help make the day delicious and memorable! After all, choosing us takes the stress out of desserts! We prefer at least 48 hours to prepare orders for custom cakes, cupcakes and cookies. Besides, planning ahead allows you to cross items off that to-do list and leaves more time to enjoy the party prep. Of course, if the day of your event comes and you need a few more sweet treats, you can always stop in to pick up a few cookies or cupcakes that we always have on hand.
Getting started
This is the perfect time to start planning a celebration for your special grad. Decide what kind of party you're going to have: simple and understated, with close family and friends, a larger celebration with a long guest list or a more casual open house, where guests can come and go throughout the evening.
Don't forget to ask your son or daughter their vision for their party, too. Since this is a day to honor their achievements, you'll want their input. Get their help with the planning and the prep and it's sure to be a party everyone will remember fondly.
Plan, plan, plan
The type of party you pick will help dictate the other elements.To help keep things simple and to keep you on track, create a list and start checking items off as you complete them. Here are a few key elements to keep in mind:
- The venue. Will you be hosting the party at your home or do you prefer to hold it at a different location to accommodate a larger crowd? Sometimes using a different venue can take the pressure off of cleaning and preparing your house. If you need to find a party place, make sure you take care of this soon to ensure the space you want is available.
- The menu. Will this be a party where you serve guests a hot meal? Will you offer heavy hors d'oeuvres? Or will it be more casual, with hamburgers and hotdogs served from the grill? There's no right or wrong menu. Just make sure you have enough food on hand to feed your guests and make sure to include a few options, such as a vegetarian dish if you plan to serve meat.
- The desserts. There isn't a sweeter way to celebrate a graduate than with delicious desserts. And that's where we can help! We specialize in personalized cakes that can be tailored to your son or daughter's favorite tastes. Chocolate cake and chocolate icing? No problem! Got a carrot cake lover? We can do that, too, along with decorating in school colors and logos. It's also fun to offer a dessert table, where we can carry the school color theme with cookies, brownies, cake pops — anything you might like to add to make the table pop!
- The invitations. If you're sending paper invites, you'll want to drop them in the mail about 6 weeks prior to the party date. There are also a lot of online invites you can send these days. Check out sites like paperlesspost.com, greenenvelope.com or punchbowl.com for inspiration. Decide whether you'll ask guests to RSVP. You'll want to keep this in mind when you're accounting for food and drinks.
Graduations are exciting events and we hope we can be part of yours.

Legislating Morality
I have heard the argument that we should not legislate morality. What then, is law, if not some form of legislating morality? In some foreign countries, speed limits are not enforced. It is not believed that speeding is wrong. In our country, it is believed that speeding is dangerous and, in a sense, wrong, and therefore legislation has been produced that sets a monetary penalty.
There is the argument that laws are being broken all the time, and so we should relax them or even repeal them, gaining some sort of fiscal or carnal benefit from changing them, rather than continuing to fight the problem.
To me, this is like allowing my child to continue to yell at me because she will not stop. In my house, it is the rule that my children should not shout or speak rudely to me. This does not mean it stops. Sometimes they yell very hurtful things at me, but I forge on, asking them to be respectful because I know someday they will be put into society and should show honor for others.
In the same way, I believe that it is good and well to continue to attempt to legislate morality. I love our country for this: that we are willing to attempt boundaries around things that may produce potential issues between our citizens, may cause harm to our citizens, or may inhibit their inherent freedoms.
I love that we as a country have the freedom to argue, debate intelligently, respectfully agree or disagree, and then to vote on these issues without fear of reproach. I believe it is good and healthy to legislate morality, especially if it is done in a fair and democratic way. We should not be afraid to stand by our convictions and to vote accordingly. It is the only way our law can truly reflect the heart of our nation.

A needle felted Lalaloopsy!
|Her wool Lalaloopsy and her store bought Lalaloopsy are best buddies
My most wonderful niece turns three this week. Her birthday party was Saturday, and I still hadn't been able to get to the store to get what I had planned for her. I know that she loves Lalaloopsy dolls, which are from a tv show for children about little rag dolls and their adventures. You can buy these plastic dolls at pretty much any store, so it was easy to find pictures online.
I am not a great seamstress, so I got out the wool and the felting needles, and my daughter and I made her a doll. Being the ever wise wise 6 year old, she said, after having complained that what we were doing was impossible: "Nothing's impossible until you try it." Those are some insightful words that I hope she takes even a step further, trying things again, even when she fails the first time. I hope that the completion of this task will help her to remember to always question the "impossibility" of each hard thing she encounters in life.
The doll was not perfect in any sense. In fact her legs fell off soon after we gave my niece the doll because I had forgotten to sew the pants to the body! She is not well felted because we worked on her so quickly, but I think it is the idea and the love that went into it that counts. It is the fact that we saw what seemed rather insurmountable, and did it anyway because we love my niece.
Here are a few pictures, so you might try it if you're ever inspired.
|I took a batt of blue wool and shaped it like the Lalaloopsy hair, needle felting lines for the strands. For the braids on either side of her head, I braided in tact locks of wool then felted them to the head.
|The first thing she did with the doll was to allow her legs to hang, bouncing her up and down, just like the dolls on the show. The doll isn't this green. It's just the way the lighting of the room showed up on camera.

Easy Applesauce
Harvest time is a crazy time of year for many people I know. For me, spending days doing applesauce just isn't really feasible when I'm trying to launch the homeschool year, send the bigs off to public school, do extra curricular activities, do photo shoots for people, put in a fall garden, keep goats, dog and chickens out of said garden, and somehow do something with all the other things I've either picked or purchased for preserving.
There are some abandoned old apple trees on the neighboring property to ours, so we harvest from them each year. The apples usually are picked right around when the frosts start hitting, and I invariably pick them too early, so that they are sour. Then I'm sad and jaded and let them sit. This year, the apples sat for a month or so before I was able to begin to take care of them today. They were soft and overripe, but perfect to turn into applesauce.
Here's all I did:
*Preheated oven to 350 degrees
*Washed all the apples
*Culled rotten apples and cut out bad spots
*Chopped all the apples with an apple slicer
*Filled oven safe dishes with 1/2 inch water
*Filled dishes with sliced apples, seeds, stems, cores, scabs and all
*Baked for about 20-30 minutes, or until they were very soft
*Set up my kitchenaid mixer with the sieve/grinder attachment
*Scooped baked apples into grinder, leaving cooking water behind, then smooshing them down into grinder. The icky stuff, like skin and stems gets "pooped" out, according to my kids, leaving just good saucy applesauce behind.
*I let the applesauce cool and bagged it in quart bags for the freezer. I didn't add sugar because the apples were already so sweet and didn't cook them anymore on the stove top because they had cooked in the oven. You may choose to cook and season it on the stove top, then freeze or can it. This is my lazy girl method, and my kids seem to be very happy with it. Applesauce is applesauce!
|Apples before baking
|Apples after baking
|If you don't have a kitchen aid, you might look for a food mill, which is much more cost effective. This attachment came in two parts: Food Grinder and Fruit and Vegetable Strainer. Each cost somewhere around $40. A food mill costs about $40.

Bremen Summer Theatre Festival
21 to 25 August 2019, Bürgerpark
The bremer shakespeare company was formed in 1983, since when it has built up the largest Shakespeare repertoire in Germany. In August 2019, it will be offering audiences such stuff as midsummer night's dreams are made of in a series of open-air 'Shakespeare in the Park' performances.
With its summer open-air programme, the company is very much honouring an old Shakespearean tradition: London's famous Globe Theatre also hosted plays 'beneath the starry sky'. Located in the heart of the city, Bremen's Bürgerpark provides the perfect romantic setting and is one of Germany's best-maintained country parks.

"We'll see if one steps up," he said. "Somebody would have to show us." Barring an injury, left-hander Damaso Marte would be the Yankees' (first) lefty in the bullpen."
That's assuming Marte doesn't implode in the early going. But assuming that, who steps up as the second lefty?
Royce Ring, who pitched in the Cardinals AAA club and earned himself a 3.04 ERA there, could be the guy. His career though is the very definition of erratic. He got shelled in his first season up with the Mets. He pitched well in 2006 and 2007 for the Mets, Padres and Braves, but then got absolutely bombed in 2008, giving up 25 runs in 22.1 innings. Could he be the Man who comes in and gets important crunch time outs against Carlos Pena or Victor Martinez? Do you feel comfortable with that? We'll see in camp how he fares.
A few interesting prospects could be brought up if they impress. Wilkin De La Rosa is a raw prospect that has pitched well in AA in 2008 and 2009. The book on him is that he throws a hard fastball with late movement, but is still working on his changeup and slider. He has a career K/9 of 10.56, and is improving his BB/9 rate of 3.56. The Yankees thought enough of him to include him on the 40 man roster. Though raw, the ceiling is the limit for De La Rosa.
Another prospect, albeit an older 29-year-old one is Wilkins Arias. The Yankees have invited him to camp as a non-roster invitee. Most likely they have done this because last year in AA ball, Arias held opposing lefties to an impressive .183 BA. Arias is lucky to be a Yankee right now—Mike Ashmore of the Hunterdon County Democrat describes him a "nondescript southpaw"—because the Yankees need lefties right now, even nondescript ones. If he impresses enough, the Yankees might try him out of the pen in Scranton and possibly promote him to the majors if he fares well.
In short the Yankees and Joe Girardi have a lot of wishing and hoping to do, if they want a second lefty in the bullpen. Camp usually provides a few surprises. Let's hope one of them is a reliable lefty reliever.

I have a six year old niece who has not yet read a Nancy Drew. As her Auntie, I believe it is my role to introduce her to what started my life long addiction to mystery novels. But what version? Or maybe they are too old fashioned, and they will turn her off from mysteries (disaster!) forever.
Encyclopedia Brown was most likely my first introduction to the mystery genre. But Nancy is how I got hooked. I was already a voracious reader by second grade, so I didn't need the "boy detective" to inspire me to spend more time reading. My nose was frequently in a book. It was the concept of mystery that appealed, not so much the characters or setting.
When I first got hold of a Nancy Drew, I already had the basic setup: difficult mystery, police (or friends) need help, young detective solves case. I don't really remember any of the characters' traits from Encyclopedia Brown (although in reading through the Wikipedia article >> I vaguely recognize the names.)
But Nancy…oh Nancy. Much has been already said and written about the girl detective, her original personality, the revisions, etc. Brash and bold to polite and dutiful…adventurous and "masculine" in her abilities to a feminine domestic ideal…racial and poverty stereotypes…I won't go over the history or commentary about revisions here. The big question now is: which version do I give to my 6 year old niece?
Let's be clear: as much as I am glad that the stereotypes were removed (some would say they weren't so much removed as modernized), I loved the quaint language and allusions of the very old versions. And I, like many others, prefer the adventurous, bold, sassy Nancy. Yes, I can understand why the revisions did what they did. I'm making this example up, but things like: "she turned on the light," vs. "she turned on the electric light." I was only 7 years old, but I knew what this was about; when these were written it was an important distinction. By the time I was reading them, of course you didn't need to specify "electric" light. But at my young age I still liked the quaintness of it. I grew up wanting to drive a roadster and eat luncheon. (great website alert: for a history of what Nancy drove in which volume: Nancy's Roaster > >)
My craving for more and more Nancy Drew books was fed by my Grammy. Although I am not sure if she gave me my first one or if it was a classmate, it was Grammy who took me to her used bookstore in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, where we would find shelves of old Nancy Drews. This was the 1970s, so I'm sure there were the newest revisions available at Walden Books (this was way before Barnes and Noble and Amazon). But Grammy loved the used book store, so I did too. (side note: this is where I got my comic book fix too). And yes, I still have them. Never having had children of my own, I figured someday I'd just sell them. But to be able to gift them to a young reader–what joy!
I can still picture the inside of the used book store: crammed with bookshelves all around the sides, and overflowing book carts through the entire middle section. The smell: musty. The Nancy Drew books were on the lower shelves, which was great for a little girl; I remember sitting on the floor, meticulously going through the collection to find ones I hadn't read.
I don't have a full collection (or at least, what would have been a full collection when I outgrew them in the late 1970s). But I have editions from the 1930s-1970s. So which do I give her? Do we start with the Secret of the Old Clock (I have the unrevised version)? Or do we go for The Message in The Hollow Oak (I have the version revised in the 1970s)? Yeah, I get it: even the ones revised in the 1970s will be old fashioned to her. But those who would dismiss the subtleties of this decision Just Don't Get It.

Dealing with the work environment: retail
For anyone who has held a job working in retail environments, the problems in retail jobs are apparent. Most every problem in a retail job can be classified into two categories:
- Co-workers
- Customers
When working in retail environments, one of the main categories related to problems in retail jobs is the co-worker. If there is a co-worker that you just simply have too many issues with, here are some things you can try to deal with them:
- Ask for a change in where you, or they, work
- Ask for a schedule adjustment
- Try to get them to go do a job where you are not.
- Go find another task to do away from them.
Here is a short list of ways not to solve problems in retail jobs
- Take up the issue with the customers - they don't need to be involved in issues that are not theirs.
- Take up the issue with the co-worker in front of the customers - they didn't come to see a show.
- Have an attitude about the co-worker in front of the customers - again, they don't need to be involved in issues which are not theirs.
- Try to turn people against the co-worker; this can backfire badly.
- Constantly complain about the co-worker to the boss - the boss will eventually start to ignore any complaints even when they are legitimate.
Anyone who was ever working in retail environments knows about problem customers in retail jobs. Every, and any, job dealing with the public has this issue. Here are a few things you can try when dealing with a problem customer:
- Get yourself through the transaction as fast as possible.
- Move onto the next customer as soon as you can.
- Acknowledge the customers problem and try to provide some sort of answer.
- Get the management involved.
- Leave the area to verify your answer or seek other options; this also helps to clear you head.
- Be firm without causing a scene.
- Stay calm.
One of the problems with working in retail settings is that workers tend to forget a few simple rules which will always prove themselves.
- The customer doesn't care what the procedure is or why you have to follow it.
- The explanation you just gave the customer will be forgotten the minute they leave the building.
- Every question, no matter how stupid, needs an answer.
- The customer doesn't care about you, your boss, or anyone else during the transaction.
- Keeping answers as simple as possible is always the best thing to do.
- Know when to admit you are wrong.
- Be willing to hold your ground when you are right.
- There are nice people who will enter your workplace; these are the ones who make the day passable.
When working in retail settings, remember that there is both good and bad in every day, everything, and everywhere. The world will not collapse because of a bad work day or job.


text: Here is a fruitcake recipe that is outstanding! Even those folks who don't like fruitcake will enjoy this one. Instead of using candied fruit, this recipe uses dried fruit. It takes some work to prepare the fruitcake, but is worth the effort. I make this fruitcake every year and give it to friends and family. They always ask for the recipe. I modified the original recipe to omit the whole egg and the 1/2 cup of canola oil (it's such a large recipe that the oil only brought the fat content to 15 percent, but that is still too high for this list). Enjoy! Bethann Fabulous Holiday Fruitcake From Susan Purdy's, Have Your Cake and Eat It Too. Comments are from her book. Yield: Makes 14 cups of batter; 8 small loaves (5 1/2 x 3 x 2 1/8), 8 servings each or 4 average loaves (8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 3/4), 16 servings each. Advance preparation: If you have the time, the fruit benefits from macerating for 24 hours in rum or brandy; otherwise mix up the fruit before you make the cakes. Cakes can be wrapped in cloths soaked in brandy or dark rum and stored in tins for (theoretically) several months. I have only kept them soaking up to 1 month because I prefer to freeze the cakes after aging them in spirit-soaked clothes for 1 week. At holiday time, I am usually rushed, so I often forget the soaking and aging and just bake the cakes, glaze them, wrap airtight in several layers of plastic wrap and a heavy duty plastic zip-lock bag, and freeze. Then you can remove from the freezer, add a ribbon and a recipe card (and if you are feeling expensive, a new loaf pan) and give as gifts. Special equipment: *8 small loaf pans (5 1/2 x 3 x 2 1/8 inches; 2 1/4 cup capacity) or 4 average loaf pans (8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 3/4 inches; 5 1/4 cup capacity) *Wax paper or baking parchment *Extra large bowl *Muslin, cotton fabric, or cheesecloth (optional) *Metal or plastic boxes for storing cakes (optional) Temperature and Time: 350F for 60-65 minutes for small loaves; 1 hour and 15-20 minutes for average loaves. Fruit: 1 cup (6 oz) cut-up dried pears, packed 1 cup (6 oz) cut-up dried peaches, packed 1 cup (6 oz) cut-up dried apricots, packed 1 cup (6 oz) cut-up dried pitted prunes, packed 1 cup (6 oz) cut-up dried pitted dates, packed 1 3/4 cup (6 oz) cut-up dried apple slices, packed 1 cup (5 oz) seedless raisins, packed 1 cup (5 oz) golden raisins, packed 1/2 cup (2 1/2 oz) dried currants, packed 1/2 cup (4 oz) candied yellow pineapple, chopped (optional) 1 cup dark rum or brandy Cake: Butter-flavor nonstick cooking spray 4 large egg whites 1 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup honey 1/3 cup apple or orange juice 2 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce 2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 Tbsp. grated orange zest or 1/2 tsp. pure orange oil or orange extract 2 1/4 cups unsifted all purpose flour 1 cup unsifted whole wheat pastry flour (or use a total of 3 1/4 cups all purpose white flour) 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 3/4 tsp. salt 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. nutmeg 1/2 tsp. ground cloves 1/3 cup wheat germ Dark rum or brandy for soaking cakes (optional) 2 recipes Vanilla Icing Glaze (recipe follows) 1. Twenty-four hours before baking the cakes (or as early on the baking day as possible), assemble all the fruit in a large bowl. Stir in the dark rum or brandy, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside. 2. Position 2 racks to divide the oven in thirds, and preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the pans with the nonstick spray. Cut wax paper or parchment liners or fit inside, and press the papers against the greased pan bottom and sides. Lightly coat the paper with cooking spray. 3. In a large bowl, combine the egg whites, brown sugar, honey, juice, applesauce, vanilla, and grated orange zest or orange flavoring. Whisk, or beat with an electric mixer on low, to blend well. Set a large strainer over the bowl and ad both flours, the baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. Stir and sift the dry ingredients onto the wet. Add the wheat germ. With the whisk, or the mixer at low speed, mix until just blended. Do not over beat. 4. Stir the spirit-soaked fruit into the batter and blend well. Divide the batter among the prepared pans, filling them about three quarters full. (The batter is very heavy, and while it does rise, it will not overflow the pans.) Bake small loaves for about 60-65 minutes and regular loaves for about 1 hour and 15-20 minutes, or until the cakes are risen and golden brown on top, and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. 5. Cool the cakes in the pans on wire racks for about 10 minutes. Then tip them gently from the pans, peel off the paper, and set them right side up on wire racks to cool completely. 6. When the cakes are completely cool, if you like, wrap them in rum- or brandy-soaked cloths, place in heavy-duty zip lock bags or plastic boxes, and set in a cool, dark location to age for about 1 month. Renew the sprits when they dry out. (Do not attempt to substitute fruit juice for spirits; only alcohol will preserve the cakes.) 7. To glaze the cakes, set them on racks over wax paper. Drizzle some of the glaze on top of each cake, letting it run down the sides. Let sit until the glaze is dried and set, about 30 minutes. When the glaze is hard, you can wrap the cakes in plastic wrap and freeze them, or give them as gifts, or slice and serve. **************************** Vanilla Icing Glaze 1 cup confectioners sugar 1 1/2 to 2 Tbsp. apple juice or strained orange juice, or dark rum or brandy 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract Whisk together the sugar, liquid and the extract. Add a few more drops of liquid if needed to make a glaze soft enough to drip from a spoon. ---------- **Important Note: This nutritional information includes the whole egg and 1/2 cup canola oil.

This day we took the subway to Shinjuku! Didn't do anything special though.. just walked around and had a look.
Shinjuku is quite different from Shibuya. Less clothing shopping and more tall buildings.
We had minced meat and curry for lunch, but in my opinion it looks like something different mmm
ihi hi hi HEHEHEH YUMMYYY
I bought my Hey! Say! JUMP cd!
They're 2012 release is a collection of their old songs <3
When we returned back to the Hotel we wanted to have a powernap, but lol we overslept and woke up around 23:00 AHAHHAHA so we couldn't really do very much. We dressed a bit up, took some pics. Went to have dinner and then Starbucks.
After Starbucks this guy handing out fliers came to us and said something in japanese. Then we said we did not speak Japanese and you should've seen his face. He wouldn't believe it for all the money in the world and went all: ''REARIIII REAAARIII REARIII??''
We said yes and then he went to his co-worker that was standing a few meters away. I heard him say something like: ''MAJIDE? NIHONJIN JANAI??'' ok assume that's something like ''really? they're not japanese?''
And then he came running back to us and once more: ''REARRIII? NO JAPANESE?? WHERE U FROM??''
We told him we where from Norway and he was like: ''oh NORUWEII? NORUWEIIIII?? SUGOI''
and then he put his hands up and started to wave and shout : ''OK OK GOOODOO NAITO GOODOO NAITO YEAH YEAH HAV A NAISU EVNINGU'' If I didn't knew better I'd thought he was drunk
That was so funny, but he was very nice and not persistent at all like a few other people we've met .

Free dating
Meet Simply, unlike other dating sites around, lets you register and create a profile for free. Basically, the only couple of things you need to do are these: let us know your username, gender, email address and date of birth. Then just sign up and you're good to go! But other than the actual use for "free", free dating is all about free love, no strings attached. Or you can add them later on, if the flirting turns into something a lot more serious. Until it does, though, enjoy your time spent with that someone who makes you feel amazing. There are absolutely no borders when it comes to free love. Let go and simply make the most of what it means to be with someone new. Like Depeche Mode have sung before, "Let's make it clear/ that this is free love/ No hidden catch/ No strings attached/ just free love."4786 views back

Rockport fire contained
A brush fire near the Rockport Estates was contained two days after it ignited by a private citizen conducting work on a yurt close to the Rockport Reservoir.
The fire, which consumed 120 acres, was reported 100-percent contained as of 2:43 p.m. Sunday, according to Tyler Rowser of the North Summit Fire District.
One structure, where the fire is believed to have originated, was destroyed but no other homes were damaged.
The fire is being investigated by the Summit County Sheriff's Office, the state fire marshal, and the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire & State Lands, said Jason Curry, public information officer for the latter. Fire crews from the county fire warden's office and North Summit Fire crews will be monitoring the area this week to detect any flare-ups, Rowser said.
According to Rowser, the blaze started in a yurt and quickly spread to surrounding grasses and sagebrush. Approximately 220 homes were evacuated as a precaution Friday. Residents returned to their homes late Friday evening and State Road 32 along Rockport Reservoir was reopened.
State Road 32 had been closed between Interstate 80 and Brown's Canyon Road most of Friday while aircraft dropped water and retardant on the flames.
Friday afternoon, county officials issued a Local Emergency Proclamation in order to receive state assistance. In a scene reminiscent of the fire in the same area last August, air tankers dropped buckets of water and retardant on the flames.
The fire erupted at about 2 p.m. Friday resulting in the Summit County Sheriff's Office requesting evacuations through a reverse 911 system.
As of 4:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, residents of Sage Lane in Rockport Estates were under a mandatory evacuation order, surrounding residents were asked to evacuate voluntarily. Sheriff's deputies were on hand to rescue children if the need arose, said Captain Justin Martinez.
The Park City Fire District, North Summit Fire District, South Summit Fire District and U.S. Forest Service firefighters responded to the fire, said Rowser.
Rockport Estates is a community south of Wanship located on the west side of Rockport Reservoir.

Weekly Update…
This week has been awful, so bad that I do not want to go over it all. It was full of excruciating pain and a bunch of bullshit from the Dr's. I spent time in the hospital, a few hours at work and the rest was spent in bed.
I have NOTHING positive to say about autoimmune disease this week! However I was glad to make it to work tonight! It feels so good to be out of bed and be around others.
AND I AM SUPER EXCITED BECAUSE TOMORROW I GET TO SEE MY FRIEND TYRONE WELLS! If you have never heard of him, please look him up! He is an amazing singer/songwriter!!!
So please pray/send positive thoughts that I am able to go and see him perform.
Due to the lack of energy I have I will answer all questions in next weeks post…thank you for your understanding. If you have a question, you can either DM @openkari or email me.
Bitch Session and Final Thoughts….
I get so many messages in regards to trying to keep positive when your whole world is crumbling,so many chronic illness suicides lately… so lets talk about this for a minute…
First off take a breath! If you read my posts, you know that my thoughts, pain, frustration, life etc are very similar if not the same as yours. It is OK what you think, what you feel etc. You are not alone. You might look around and see no one but we are here….I get it, you want it all to STOP. Ya me too! Some days it takes all I have to make it second to second. I pray, I beg God to help me through the day, to get a break, cause I need one so desperately. The constant pain is so over powering and it never seems to end. I don't sleep much, i don't eat a lot, I don't get out much, life just seems so dim. I feel like I am being held under the water, never coming up for air.
The other day i was looking through some art work and I found this amazing photo that I think speaks for itself. Some will only see the negative in this picture, but to me i see truth, i see pain, i see hope….
Just because we might think something does NOT mean we will act on it and that is what I see in this photo. Life is a constant battle, unfortunately for us, we are battling our own bodies. This life IS fucking hard! We must always be shattering the negative that slips in our mind. Truth is….. Suicide is real, depression is real especially with chronic illness. I know that the chronic illness is NOT the only ones who have depression or who commit suicide but for the purpose of this post, chronic illness folks are the group, I am talking about. We must never give up. We all have a purpose even when we have NO idea what it is. Fighting chronic illness can be a very lonely battle because no one can see the battle but us. I find this to be hard because trying to explain to others how I feel when to them I look OK, sucks! Some people just can't comprehend that our cells are killing us. I get it, what you can't see is hard to believe but trust us, what you can't see we definitely feel. Please talk about how you feel no matter what those feelings are. Stay Strong and Reach out if you need too…..I am here and do not worry if I have already touched on a subject..lets chat, ask questions! Together we can push each other through the shit. We did not ask for this life….but I wouldn't notice the stars in the sky with out it. This disease that is killing me has reminded me to live…..I take NOTHING for granted, not anymore.
While screaming through the pain……do not forget to Laugh, take time to look at the stars, LIVE……..Because Life is not stopping because we are suffering…..XOXO
Thank You Belle…I really needed these extra spoons
P.S I get an overwhelming amount of emails in regards to relationship issues and chronic illness, So I am going to do a BIG post on this topic. If you have questions or want to add your input please message me! It is nice to get others opinions…..Thanks 😉 Maybe we will do a LIVE conversation too!

Painting cabinets in the guest house, trying to harvest honey, designing and printing labels for the jars, cleaning the house after almost a month of resting my shoulder from a torn rotator cuff, trying to finish the garden project I was in the middle of when I tore it, tending the garden and bees, applying for the Tennessee Master Gardener course, reading 3 books, and planning a vacation. And the DVR is full of things that need to be watched before they can be deleted to make more space. The recycling bins need to be emptied. I need to make a hair appointment. I need to write a blog post and edit the pictures I took the other day. Find the projector and old family slides to show when family comes to visit later this month. Get back to working out. Take a load of castoffs to Goodwill.
And what did I do this morning? I pinned more pins on Pinterest of projects and ideas. Pinterest falls under the heading of fake productivity. It makes you feel like you are getting something accomplished, until you look up at your reality.
Clearly, I have a problem with focus. A sort of project ADD. Yes, of course I'd like to start 5 more projects while my front garden is a disaster and you can't even walk to the door. Why wouldn't I want to paint the cabinets in the guest house in the middle of the honey harvest? And let's face it, it's always time to start another book.
If this sounds like you then join me today in finishing something. Anything. Just one thing no matter how small. The laundry. A book. A half watched movie. A semi-organized closet. Something!
And no more pinning until we do. I know that's hard. Pinterest Land makes us feel like we are getting things done, but it's an illusion unless we are pinning and doing. If you don't have any unfinished projects in the works then pick something you've pinned and do it today. Not adding your dream kitchen but something small. Something that would take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. A recipe. An exercise.
You create momentum by starting. The satisfaction is in finishing.
We can finish something today.
So what to do now? One small thing done with focus.
Let me know what you get done!

8/724 Private Arthur Llewellyn Webb - Otago Infantry
Arthur Llewellyn Webb was born in Wellington on the 21st March 1896 the youngest of seven children born to Richard Attew and Mary (nee Llewellyn) Webb.[i]
Arthur was raised in Sutherland Street, Kilbirnie, Wellington attending primary school in the area prior to going to Wellington College 1909 – 1911. Arthur then went to Victoria University, Wellington possible as a trainee teacher.
On the outbreak of war Arthur Llewellyn Webb was in his third year of university
study when he enlisted on the 13th August 1914. On his military papers
Arthur's birth date is noted as the 5th July 1894 which made him over 20, the
minimum age to enlist, but his real age was 18 years and six months. He is also
listed as being a school teacher where he was possible a trainee teacher.[ii]
Due to the large number of men enlisting and the need to fill the ranks of all
the regional battalions Arthur was assigned as 8/724 Private Arthur Llewellyn
Webb to D Company, 14th South Otago, Otago Battalion.
Also allocated to D Company , 14th South Otago were
8/809 Private Kenneth (Ken) Henry Boulton from Paremata and
8/821 Corporal William Edward Earp from Tawa.[iii]
8/724 Private Arthur Llewellyn Webb
The Otago Battalion as part of the Main Body of the New Zealand Expeditionary
Force (NZEF) left Dunedin on the 14th October 1914 for Egypt. In Egypt the
NZEF joined with the Australian forces to become the Australia and
New Zealand Army Corp (Anzac). Preparations for landings in the Dardanelles
were conducted.
The Otago Infantry landed 25/26th April 1915 at ANZAC Cove. Initially the Otago Infantry were held in reserve then moved to defensive lines but the key to the ANZAC position was a hill, Baby 700, and the capture of this position would force the Turks back onto Third Ridge and give the besieged in ANZAC Cove much needed breathing space and allow them to go
onto the offensive.[iv] The Otago's were part of the forces committed on 2nd May 1915 but due to a number of delays
they ended up attacking in daylight against prepared Turkish forces. The result was a disaster for the Otago's as they and other Allied troops were forced back from Baby 700 to their original positions.
'No complete account exists of the losses suffered by Otago in this attack. The War Diary records five officers
wounded, eight missing, 11 men killed, 174 wounded and 208 missing, leaving a strength of 365 out of 800 who went into the attack. But in truth the Otagos never knew how many were lost.'[v]
Among those who were later officially declared dead were 8/809 Private Kenneth (Ken) Henry Boulton and 8/821 Corporal William Edward Earp.
The remnants of the Otago Battalion were then shipped down the Gallipoli Peninsular to land near Cape Helles. As part
of a combined British assault on the 8 May 1915 they were again attacking, in daylight, prepared Turkish positions in the Second Battle of Krithia. The New Zealand forces which included Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago Infantry companies again suffered heavy casualties at the 'Daisy Patch.' The survivors of the second Battle of Krithia were
withdrawn from the area on 19th May 1915 returning to Anzac Cove.
In August there was a major push from Anzac Cove to capture the high ground of Sari Bair. The NZ Mounted Rifles and Maori Contingent with a daring night assault on the 6th / 7th August 1915 captured key points that guarded the valleys leading to the high ground. Daylight assaults failed but in the pre dawn of the 8th August 1915 The Wellington Battalion moved up Rhododendron Ridge to capture the summit of Chunuk Bair. Through the day the Turkish forces desperately tried to drive the Wellington Battalion, some Auckland Mounted and British troops from this key point. In the night
8th / 9th August 1915 the Otago Battalion and Wellington Mounted Rifles moved up to relieve the Wellingtons.
Chunuk Bair would be recaptured on the 10th August 1915 following a massive counter attack launched by the Turkish Commander Mustafa Kemal[vi].
Private Webb was wounded on the 8th August 1915 and was evacuated from Gallipoli on the 11th August 1915 with a gunshot wound to the arm. Private Webb was taken to the 2nd Australian Stationary Hospital at Murdos for treatment.
The wound was not serious as he was discharged at the end of August for service in the base depot. However the effects
of the campaigning in Gallipoli had their impacts and on the 25th September 1915 he was admitted to 3rd Canadian Stationary Hospital with jaundice. Private Webb remained in hospital for a month and then was evacuated on the 10th October 1915 on the hospital ship (HS) Aquitania for England where he was admitted to the 2nd Western General Hospital, Manchester. Private Webb remained in England until January 1916 when it was determined he was fit enough to return to active duty.
Private Webb returned to Egypt and the 1st Otago Battalion on the 23rd January 1916. The Battalion was retraining in preparation for service on the Western Front.
Private Webb and the 1st Otago Battalion left Egypt on the 6th April 1916 and on arrival in France moved up to a quiet sector of the front to get used to conditions on the Western Front. Also arriving in France was Private Webb's older
brother 24/2116 Lance Corporal Cecil Ernest Webb, C Company, 4th Battalion, 3rd New Zealand Rifle Brigade (NZRB)[vii].
It is possible that the two brothers meet prior to the September, Battle of the Somme.
On the 15th September 1916 the New Zealand Division went 'over the top' at the Battle of the Somme. At zero hour,
6.20 a.m., the allies opened an intense barrage on the German trenches. After six minutes this barrage began to creep forward at a rate of 50 yards per minute towards the Switch Trenches which were the first objective. The 2nd Auckland and 2nd Otago's were the first to leave the front lines. Ten minutes after zero the C Company and B Company
of the 4th Battalion 3rd NZRB moved into the attack.[viii] The 1st Otago Battalion was held in reserve moving up later to relieve other New Zealand units.
Private Webb's brother Lance Corporal Cecil Webb in C Company was one of the 'first over the top' but was wounded on the hip, leg and back during the first day of the attack and was evacuated from the battlefield to England.
The attack initially was a success with objectives taken but stiffening German resistance and the appalling weather bogged down the advance. On the 27th the 1st Otago Battalion launched an attack against the Grid system of trenches. The
14th (South Otago) and 4th (Otago Rifles) were the leading companies as they crossed[viii]
Factory Corner-Eaucourt L'Abbaye Road, From this stage the ground fell away abruptly and the attacking troops almost immediately came under a withering blast of fire from enemy rifles and machine guns posted along Gird Trench and Gird Support. The two leading Companies, 14th and 4th, valiantly endeavoured to press on against
this hail of fire; but it was only a question of distance when they were literally swept away by it. Every officer and almost every man became a casualty.
The problem presented by having to handle such a number of wounded called for the greatest exertions of the stretcher parties who work unceasing throughout the night under almost insuperable difficulties of mud and Distance. Many of the wounded succeeded in staggering back unaided, but there were others who were so sorely wounded as to be beyond the aid of the bearers when their turn came.[ix]
Stretcher bearers at the Somme
Private Webb was one of these casualties his military file records the court of enquiry into his death:
Private Lyndon of the Otago Infantry Battalion stated 'At about 7 am; 28th September 1916 I saw 8/724 Pvt Webb in the Goose Alley Trench. A stretcher bearer informed me that Pvt Webb had been wounded in the stomach on September 27th when the 14th Coy were attacking Grid Trench. The st-br stated that owing to the nature of the wound that Pvt Webb was not to be taken down to the RAP (Regimental Aid Post) I have not seen or heard of Pvt Webb since 28th September 1916.'[x]
The Court of Enquiry verdict, 29 November 1916, simply notes Died of Wounds received 27 September 1916. While Private Webb was buried in the Grid Trench area the total destruction later in the war over the the Somme Battle Field meant that Private Webb's body was not recovered.
Private Webb, like 1200 other New Zealand casualties, has no known grave and is remembered on the New Zealand Memorial at Caterpillar Valley. Private Webb is also remembered on the Wellington College's Memorial and the Kilbirnie School Memorial.
In 1919 the Wellington Education Board published a list of men employed by the board who were died in World War One, A.L. Webb is one of the 27 names recorded.
In December 1921 the Webb Memorial Cup was presented to Plimmerton School originally for the student ' 'who stands highest in general merit, consideration being given, not only to school work, but also to punctuality, cleanliness, good manners, sport and popularity' [ix] the cup later was awarded to the school dux runner
up. The Memorial Cup was first awarded in 1921 and continued to be awarded through
to 1972 when the Webb Memorial Cup and a number of other school trophies were no
longer presented.
The newspaper report on the presentation of the cup indicated it was in memory of
Sergeant Cecil Ernest Webb killed at the Somme but is seem more appropriate that it
would also be for Private Arthur Llewellyn Webb the young trainee teacher just 20 years
old when he died on the S
The battered Webb Memorial Cup (now restored)
Private Arthur Llewelly Webb and his brother Sergeant Cecil Ernest Webb are also
remembered at the National War Memorial Carillion with bell no 35
(sounding the way ) purchased by members of the Webb family.[iix]
The Webb Memoril cup after 1972 had been stored with other trophys and become battered, it was
restored at no cost by the Village Goldsmiths, Wellington.

text: Green Doctors Frosted is a new cherry variety we are excited about. It was mentioned in the SF Chronicle article a few weeks back as one of our current favorites. We love the flavor better than Green Grape. It looks 'frosted' because it has a clear skin, not a yellow one. The small, slightly oval fruits are borne in abundance and blush slightly gold when ripe. The plants are large and we had to truss them up good to keep the garden path clear. Try this one—you'll thank us when you pop the first ripe one in your mouth!
