Die Deutsche Siedlung: The German Element in Southern Humbolt Township: Architecture of Compromise
Peter Noll
Peter Noll, a graduate student in the historical administration program at Eastern Illinois University and an inductee into the Omega Xi Chapter of Phi Alpha Theta in 2000 wrote this paper for Dr. Nora Pat Small's American Architecture class in the fall of 2001. This paper was also the co-recipient of the Lavern Hamand Graduate Writing Award.

Studying architecture and the built environment helps us construct the individuals that made and used them and their society. The building furthers our understanding, but without written records, the architecture lacks context and thus meaning. This study of Humbolt Township examines both the builders and the buildings in conjunction, and uses both the written and physical records.
Beginning in 1863, individuals originating from northwestern Germany began to arrive in Humbolt Township, Coles County, Illinois. After initial settlement, prolonged immigration into the southern part of the township persisted well into the twentieth century. The German immigrants created a dynamic and sturdy rural ethnic community centering around Saint Paul's Lutheran Church. They expressed those values both in the homes they created for themselves and the church they created for each other in the last three decades of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth. By maintaining traditional German architectural practices while adopting other ethnic traditions, the Humbolt community created a German-American culture. Indeed, their house forms provide a series of snapshots of the acculturation process isolated within time; and prove in spatial terms the existence of a German-American culture in Humboldt Township.
Who were the Humbolt settlers? At the age of 19, in the year 1852, Wilhelm (William) Mohlenhoff left Oldenburg, Germany, to arrive at the port of New Orleans. From there, he made his way to Tennessee where he was eventually joined by his younger brother Henry (Heindrich), and his younger sister Mary. In Tennessee the Mohlenhoffs owned and operated a truck farm and nursery. During the Civil War, soldiers confiscated two of William's four horses (the other two were not shod) and wiped out his truck farm. In 1863 William, Mary, and Henry journeyed North to a German community in Illinois that they had heard of called Dutchtown (now Teutopolis). It was here that William met John Henry Phipps, who lived near Lerna. Mr. Phipps told William of land being sold by the railroad in Humbolt Township. William then moved on to Humbolt Township where he purchased a quarter section for $11.00 an acre in 1863. What was to become "Little Germany" was underway.[1]
The subsequent immigration of Germans that followed the Mohlenhoffs, lasting into the mid-twentieth century, is a standard example of chain migration. Almost all of the individuals finding their way to Humbolt Township were either relatives or acquaintances of individuals already established in the township as illustrated by Elise Knebel who arrived in 1869. "The brothers wrote that they longed to see the parents again and that they had a piece of land for us across from brother William's."[2] Although individuals came from several different areas, the main concentration of people came from Franklin County, Missouri; Cincinnati, Ohio; Indiana; or Oldenburg a small duchy in northwest Germany. For example in 1873 four Nolte brothers came with their father from Cincinnati and in 1872, several Homanns came from Franklin County, Missouri. The early arrivals tended to come as family units, while later arrivals were more likely to be single young men. These bachelors would work for an established farmer within the German Settlement until able to start out for themselves; sometimes a marriage to a daughter of one of these farmers would establish these men as landowners. Henry Macke arrived at the age of sixteen in 1893 directly from Oldenburg, Germany, hiring out for Louis Blume and later William Mohlenhoff before building up a successful farm of his own.
Among the individuals there existed considerable diversity in the amount of time spent in America before arrival in Humbolt Township, some being born in the United States of immigrant parents, some born in Germany but spending several years in the U.S. before appearing in the German Settlement, and others coming directly to Humbolt Township from Germany. Between 1863 and 1900 I have been able to find 30 men with enough documentation to establish their origin.[3]
Born in the United States
Direct from Germany
Note that while 66% of the men had already spent time in the United States, the range of time runs from decades to only a few years.[4] Such information must be considered when examining the issues of the maintenance of cultural tradition.
Its sometimes seems as though every hamlet on the vast Midwest prairie lays claim to having the best farmland in the state in which it resides. Certainly such claims exist with regards to the land of southern Humbolt Township. The German Settlement does exist upon very fertile soil, however, it was not always so. The area was slow to be settled because it is predominately low land and many areas could have been more appropriately designated as wetland. Indeed, the relative undesirability of land that could not support crops without improvement helped the rapid establishment of land ownership solely by members of the German Settlement. The land also lacked timber for building and fuel. To remedy this, William Mohlenhoff bought forty acres of wooded land southwest of Cooks Mill.[5] With the exception of land bought by Mohlenhoff and Schroeder, who bought some of their property from the Illinois Central Railroad, all the rest of the acreage acquired was procured through purchase from individual landowners. Because the land needed improvement in the form of trenches or tiling to facilitate drainage to increase the productive capability of the land the original owners were probably more willing to sell. Although there were whole sections of land owned by members of the German Settlement, there have always been pockets of non-Germans existing within the community.[6] As a result, the Germans in Humbolt Township were not isolated from extra ethnic influences.
As one looks at the growth of the German Settlement, it becomes readily apparent that Saint Paul's Lutheran Church was both the physical and spiritual center of the rural community. Driving through the countryside today within the traditional bounds of the German Settlement one need only look in the right direction to see the spire of the church breaking the horizon and piercing the sky. As the Settlement grew and expanded it did so with the church as a focal point. Very few of the farms were more than three miles distant from the church. By constructing an x and y axis with the church as a focal point and the land divided into quadrants it is possible to lay out the directions in which the settlement grew based on the plat book maps between 1869 and 1913.
Table 2 illustrates that the German Settlement grew towards the northeast, the southeast, and the southwest. In any one of these quadrants there exists more than twice the amount of land owned as there was in quadrant 1 (the northwest quadrant, see page 14). The explanation for this might lay in the fact that the land west of the Settlement was possibly more desirable, and thus the original landowners less likely to sell, as this was the direction towards the small town of Dorans, only two miles away and through which the railroad tracks led to Mattoon. The railroad track, which runs at approximately a 70-degree angle off of the x-axis two miles west of the church, can also be seen to be a physical boundary, although there was a slight amount of land ownership on "the other side of the tracks."

Proximity to the church and to the other members of the Settlement were also strong factors in the layout of the community. These individuals applied concerted effort at maintaining this proximity. Although the distribution represented the standard disbursal mode for agrarian areas, the land was massed together as closely as possible. In her account of the early days of the Settlement Elise Knebel illustrates this point: "The sisters were all so close together that we could visit all of them in one day. Father lived only a year and nine months [after arriving in Humboldt Township] but he was so active that he walked to visit his children."[7]
It has already been established that the church, the primary social institution, was the physical center of the community. The current location on which the church stands was not the site of the original church. The original building was built on donated land about a mile north of the current location in 1882. As the settlement grew and shifted southwards the location of the church was disproportionately inconvenient for congregants living further and further south of the church. The result was that the property on which the current church structure now stands was purchased and the old building was moved a mile south in 1892, only ten years after its construction.[8]

The persistence of German culture provides a key indicator as to how, if, and when German individuals became "Americanized." Absorbed into the greater heterogeneous American cultural synthesis, many German practices became invisible, while others remained distinctly ethnic. Much of the writing on German immigrants in the nineteenth century focuses on the urban experiences, their social networks, and the efforts at maintaining German culture in the United States. The rural experience, as embodied by the residents of the German Settlement in Humboldt Township, must be assessed differently than the urban Germans. Rural Germans are less densely settled and thus social organizations are more rare due to the distance between families. The church represented the largest, and only identifiable, institutional network through which the individuals of this community interacted. While not institutional, the kinship association among the several families certainly must have resulted in a social network outside of the church.
Perhaps the use of the German language presents the most visible aspect of ethnicity. Services, records, and meetings of the church being held in German, and insistence by the members on a preacher who could speak the language best illustrate this. The German Settlement was never large enough to be isolated; the members of this community interacted and lived amongst non-Germans. With the majority of the members being either born in this country or living in this country for some time before their arrival in Humbolt Township, it can be expected that some of these individuals would eventually learn to speak English. Initially, after the church was formally founded in 1880, German was the only language in which services were held. Thirty-four years later, in 1914, it was decided that one service per month be held in English for those who could not speak German. In 1919, this ratio shifted to half and half between German and English services alternating Sundays. By 1922 all church business of was conducted in English.
Even though by 1914 there were still original settlers who were active in the church, there were some members of the German community who did not have a firm enough grasp of the German language to understand services in the native tongue. By 1922, it can be assumed that while some might still speak German, the majority of the community was able to communicate well enough in English. Freda Christen (born in 1915 the youngest daughter of Henry Macke, who came directly from Germany in 1893) remembered that her parents only spoke a few phrases of German in the household, mostly when they did not want her to know what they were saying.[9] It would seem that if the community deemed the maintenance of this tradition important, it would have been taught to the children. The early twentieth century is also the time period when the children of the original settlers, who grew up in the German Settlement, were entering their 30s and 40s, a time in life when they were probably becoming influential in their church and community. It would seem then that the persistence of the language and ethnic identity was not as important among the second generation. Any such assumption though must be weighed against external forces such as increased anti-German sentiment in the nation during and after World War I.

The evidence so far presented suggests the persistence of ethnic tradition into the first third of the twentieth century; a trend also exhibited in the lists of names comprising the confirmation classes of Saint Paul's. By the 1930s children's names are more often Americanized, Heindrichs become Henrys and Wilhlems become Williams.[12] However, the written record does not leave us much else by which to judge the persistence of tradition within the German Settlement. Assuming ethnic persistence is the same in the architectural tradition as it is in others we might expect to see the same patterns in the buildings of the German Settlement. This would then support the argument that ethnic persistence faded during the first third of the twentieth century and by the 1930s, the German Settlement, while still retaining a sense of community, had lost much of what marked it as unique to the "English" world.
The German influence on German Settlement houses is not overt; there are no half-timbered or stone fences. The house forms are distinctly American vernacular. But several of the structures exhibit alterations of the standard forms, or hybrids. The methods of construction, specifically balloon framing techniques, may not have been completely foreign to these settlers as many were coming from north Germany. Charles van Ravenswaay notes in his book on Missouri Germans that, "In the North of Germany, where wood was scarce and expensive, the buildings were plainer and the rails were light."[13] A common theme running throughout the Settlement bounds is a general lack of ornamentation. The houses can be categorized into five basic subtypes: I houses, upright and wings, massed plans with hipped roofs (square plans), massed plans with gable roofs, and cross gable constructions of either one or two stories. Of the 25 extant structures that could have been built by the first or second generation there are five I houses, nine cross gable, two upright and wings, two massed plans with hipped roofs, three massed plans with gable roofs, and three other types that do not fit neatly into the aforementioned categories. The majority of the extant houses are not the initial house built upon a given plot of land, but a second more substantial house built to shelter growing families and illustrate the economic success of this agrarian settlement.
The first houses occupied by the members of the German Settlement were of course either purchased or built. If the early houses were purchased from non-Germans it is unlikely we would see any ethnic characteristics unless the structure was modified. Tempering the early housing efforts was the factor that capital was more likely to be spent acquiring fertile farmland than on the construction of an elaborate house. Freda Christen remembers that her father always used to say that money you spend on a house does not make you any money.[14] She went on to say that the drive was always to acquire more land; this fact is born out by the plat maps. When new settlers would come to the area, they would live with another family or rent a place until they build their own house.
Elise Knebel wrote of her and her husband's first house that it was built with the help of a carpenter in 1870 across from her brother William. The house measured 16 x 26 feet, and when they moved in the walls were not yet plastered.[15] The house is no longer standing, but judging by the few other accounts of the early houses, this basic structure seems to be fairly common, with the family adding on or building a new house as the family increased in size. The house William Mohlenhoff built across the road appears to be a similar structure. The building (Fig. 4) appears to be a modest framed one story symmetrical five-ranked structure with a gabled entry porch accented with decorated verge boards.

Finding spatial patterns is not easy with such a small sample of buildings on which to draw. However, some patterns do seem to exist (see figure five). The first and most obvious is that the only three brick structures, all of them massed plans, exist in section 22, the oldest part of the Settlement (quadrant 2). Four out of five I houses exist in quadrant three. Although there are a few cross-gabled houses close to the focal point, most of them, along with the three houses that do not fit neatly into any of the classifications, form a periphery. Furthermore, all but two of the cross-gable structures and all of the "other" houses are south of the x-axis, while all but one of the massed structures lay north of it. In quadrant 1, which has historically had the lowest amount of land owned by the members of the Settlement, there exists only one extant structure, that being adjacent to the x axis that borders quadrant four.
Common to all I houses, cross-gable, and upright and wing structures was the inclusion of a rear wing, often but not always of a lower elevation than the rest of the house. In the massed houses this rear wing was only seen in three out of seven structures. Subdividing the massed house classification, the boxy, hipped roofed structures both exhibited the rear wing and predate the other massed structures. Of the three brick houses listed as massed structures none exhibited the rear wing, while the remaining two wood structures were split.[16]
--Evidence of Ethnicity--
For evidence of ethnicity in the buildings of the German Settlement the exteriors of the structures are again called to give witness, telling us stories of their interior organization of space. The ethnic element of these houses, as mentioned earlier, is not overt. It has been shown that structurally these buildings are neither distinctive in form nor material nor method of construction. A number of reasons to explain this are possible. It could result from a desire to blend in physically with their non-German neighbors, it could be a result of mass-produced building materials readily available via railroad only a few miles away, or, it could stem from a desire to express the economic success these individuals experienced. Perhaps they did not really give the form of their buildings much thought, preferring rather to invest in profitable land, or by the time the extant structures had been built they had already spent enough time in the United States to begin to lose some of their ethnic identity and perhaps architecture does not the enjoy the same degree of traditional persistence as other customs. Many of the houses originally built by the early settlers no longer exist and other structures inhabited were not constructed, but purchased from non-Germans. Yet, within the extant houses there does exist both evidence of ethnic identity and acculturation.
This cultural persistence has been recorded in five standing structures and one that is no longer extant. In most cases, it manifests itself outwardly in non-symmetrical structure types that, in the Anglo-American tradition, tend to be symmetrical. It can also be seen in the addition of elements to create a symmetry that otherwise would not exist if the form of the exterior followed the function of the interior.
The lack of symmetry is exhibited in two structures, both of them I houses. By definition, an I house is one room deep, two rooms wide, greater than one story tall, and split by a central hallway straight down the middle. This general floor plan created two rooms of equal or nearly equal size. While this form was very popular in England and across the United States, it was not as common on the European continent. A more typical first floor plan in Germany would consist of an all-purpose dining room/kitchen (Wohnkuche) running the depth of the house along side one or two other rooms. Entry would usually be obtained through a door leading directly into the multi-purpose kitchen.[17] This is, of course, impossible to do given the textbook definition and constraints of the I house. The simple solution to the problem for the immigrant family who is used to a certain organization of space, but who also want a fashionable (or culturally nondescript) house, is to slightly offset the front door. This then allows entrance directly into the kitchen or another room while eliminating the central hall.
The other type of accommodation using Anglo house forms is the creation of a symmetrical façade masking an asymmetrical interior. This trait has been documented in many areas that exhibit concentrations of ethnic Germans.[18] There are three extant houses in the German Settlement that do so. They accomplish the task by having two front doors instead of one. If the floor plan holds true (which would be the only reason for having two front doors) then the resultant creation is a house that has one front door leading directly into one room, while the second door leads into another; again there is no central hall. Most often, only one of the front doors is used.
Fig. 7 Double door houses
Out of the five extant houses that show outward evidence of cultural influence, three of them have chimney stacks still standing. It is important to note that all of these stacks are centrally located. It is much more common for houses with central hallways to have end chimneys. Also, these five houses represent an example of two I houses, a boxy, massed structure, and a massed structure. The only house type not represented are the cross gabled house which does not easily facilitate such adaptation. The Macke house torn down in 1953 helps to illustrate how an individual can compromise with a non-ethnic design to fit within cultural traditions. Henry Macke worked for L. Blume and W. Mohlenhoff until he acquired enough capital to purchase his own farm. Sometime between 1905 and 1910, he added on to the house that he had purchased. The original structure was basically an I type. Before the addition was put on the existing structure was picked up and rotated ninety degrees clockwise. Then a six-room addition of what was to become the front of the house was added.[19]
Why did Henry Macke put two doors on the front of his house? The simple answer was that he did not want a central hall, but instead wanted direct access to the living spaces of his home just as he probably had experienced in Germany less than twenty years earlier. The Mackes wanted the exterior of his home to be fashionable, but they wanted the inside to provide a sense of comfort and familiarity. What is ironic is that according to Henry Macke's daughter, most everybody always used the back door anyway.[20]
It is impossible to ignore or escape the influence of Saint Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church on the physical landscape or as a social organization. The Elise Knebel account from 1924 on her remembrances of the early days of the Settlement (beginning in 1869) makes references throughout to the church, illustrating the importance of the church to a community that, in a very real sense, was the church. The congregation was formally organized in 1880, although religious services had regularly been held in the houses of the various congregants well before that. The construction of the original church building and its subsequent change of location have already been discussed. In 1905, the brick structure that currently stands was built.
Contemporary newspaper accounts are rife with praise for the new building that was constructed. The Journal Gazette – November 20, 1905 stated, "St. Paul's Church was erected by one of the wealthiest rural communities in Illinois, and in points of general architecture, taste, elegance, and size it probably has no peer in the country nor in any cities of less than 50,000 inhabitants."[21] Perhaps the newspaper description was prone to sensationalism; however, it was at least partially true. The total cost of the church was $15,000 dollars, a great deal of money in 1905, that was raised by members of the German Settlement to construct for themselves both a house of worship and in a less tangible but no less real sense, an identity. The church, with Romanesque elements, illustrates fairly standard religious architecture. It is important to note that while the houses of the German Settlement are relatively unadorned and plain the church is quite the opposite. The Settlement people were more likely to use their money in the purchase and improvement of land than in the adornment or aggrandizement of their houses. However, when it came to the house of God and a house for the community the members were generous and felt the need to elevate the form of their architecture to the function of the building. This massive brick structure is the best evidence of the strength and vitality of the German Settlement.
Do the domestic structures of the German Settlement demonstrate the existence of an ethnic population in the process of acculturation? Does the persistence of ethnic architectural habits mirror in time the fading of other cultural traditions? Based on existing evidence one might suggest that this is true. Although the surviving German-built or occupied structures that support this line of thinking fit well into the chronology, they are the minority of structures extant in the community. Another factor to be considered is what seems to be the complete cessation of building, or at least a drastic reduction, during the Great Depression, the beginning of which roughly correlates with the diminishment of other cultural traditions. This gap further hampers the efforts at a neat and tidy supposition. No single motivation can explain the building patterns and practices of the German Settlement, how these individuals organized the spaces in which they lived. There exists a plurality of causes, yet it seems clear that ethnic tradition did contribute to the decision making process and help maintain a sense of community in the rural landscape.

Ravenswaay writes much on the architecture of Franklin County Missouri, a heavily German area from which several of the Humboldt Township residents migrated. However, the architecture is very different in Franklin County with half timbered, stone, and masonry buildings being common. That area of Missouri has a much more abundant and readily available supply of stone for building than does Coles County, which partially explains why they did not duplicate that architecture in Illinois.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire played a decisive role in central European history. It occupied strategic territory containing the southeastern routes to western Europe and the north-south routes between Germany and Italy. Present-day Austria retains this unique position.
Soon after the Republic of Austria was created at the end of World War I, it faced the strains of catastrophic inflation and of adapting a large government structure to the needs of a new, smaller republic. In the early 1930s, worldwide depression and unemployment added to these strains and shattered traditional Austrian society. In 1933, Engelbert Dollfuss formed a conservative autocracy. In February 1934, civil war broke out, and the Socialist Party was outlawed. In July, a coup d'etat by the National Socialists failed, but Nazis assassinated Dollfuss. In March 1938, Germany occupied Austria and incorporated it into the German Reich. This development is commonly known as the "Anschluss" (annexation).
At the Moscow conference in 1943, the Allies declared their intention to liberate and reconstitute Austria. In April 1945, both Eastern- and Western-front Allied forces liberated the country. Subsequently, the victorious allies divided Austria into zones of occupation similar to those in Germany with a four-power administration of Vienna. Under the 1945 Potsdam agreements, the Soviets took control of German assets in their zone of occupation. These included 7% of Austria's manufacturing plants, 95% of its oil resources, and about 80% of its refinery capacity. The properties returned to Austria under the Austrian State Treaty. This treaty, signed in Vienna on May 15, 1955, came into effect on July 27, and, under its provisions, all occupation forces departed by October 25, 1955. Austria became free and independent for the first time since 1938.
Since World War II, Austria has enjoyed political stability. A Socialist elder statesman, Dr. Karl Renner, organized an Austrian administration in the aftermath of the war, and the country held general elections in November 1945. All three major parties ~ez_ndash~ the conservative People~ez_rsquo~s Party (OVP), the Socialists (later Social Democratic party or SPO), and Communists ~ez_ndash~ governed until 1947, when the Communists left the government. The OVP then led a governing coalition with the SPO that governed until 1966.
Between 1970 and 1999, the SPO governed the country either alone or
with junior coalition partners. In 1999, the OVP formed a coalition with
the right wing, populist Freedom Party (FPO). The SPO, which was the strongest
party in the 1999 elections, and the Greens formed the opposition. The
FPO had gained support because of populist tactics, and many feared it
would represent right wing extremism. As a result, the European Union (EU)
imposed a series of sanctions on Austria. The U.S. and Israel, as well
as various other countries, also reduced contacts with the Austrian Government.
After a period of close observation, the EU lifted sanctions, and the U.S.
revised its contacts policy. Following 2002 elections, the OVP in February
2003 renewed its coalition with the FPO.

Jay told me Timely's teeth fell out when he was biting him and his arm got some blood on it. He wasn't sure if it's normal for Timely to lose his teeth at this age (he is almost 23 weeks old). I told him it's normal, but I was expecting him to lose his teeth aorund 26 weeks old.
Anyways, we decided to put Timley's teeth under his bed and hopefully Tooth fairy will gave him some treats the next day.
Timely was very courious about what I was doing and he sat by his bed watching me placing his teeth.

Anonymous Content/True Detective:Catering by In 'N Out set the down-home tone at Anonymous Content's party at Rivabella honoring HBO's "True Detective." And these were no delicate bite-size burger bits but full-fledged Double-Double Animals. "True Detective" creator Nic Pizzolatto marveled at the trajectory of his career -- considering he's not far removed from being a college professor and author. Idris Elba, Michael B. Jordan, Michelle Dockery, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mamie Gummer, Josh Charles, Adrianne Palicki and Kate Mara made the rounds. So did the "Rectify" team of Ray McKinnon and Mark Johnson and ICM's Chris Silbermann.
Daniel Bruhl)
CBS/Showtime/CBS Films:The Eye's Globes-eve bash at Soho House was shoulder-to-shoulder packed with a huge turnout of CBS and Showtime talent and creatives. "Masters of Sex" star Michael Sheen collected compliments on the success of his first TV series. Jon Voight and Liev Schreiber flew the "Ray Donovan" flag. "2 Broke Girls" star Beth Behrs made the rounds with new b.f. Michael Gladis, of "Mad Men" fame. Chuck Lorre kept answering variations of the same question -- yes, it is hard to juggle three shows at the same time. Ashton Kutcher brought along g.f. Mila Kunis, and CBS Films' Terry Press congratulated "Inside Llewyn Davis" nominee Oscar Isaac. Leslie Moonves and Julie Chen created a power spot wherever they went, but the final dash of party-cred came when Harvey Weinstein entered the arena. Beau Bridges and Margo Martindale chatted all night, while Kaley Cuoco was attached at the hip to new hubby Ryan Sweeting.
Beth Behrs & Michael Gladis make a cute couple. Seeing them together I couldn't help but think how it would drive Pete Campbell crazy.--

Los Angeles Film Critics Awards:The Los Angeles Film Critics spread the love at their annual kudofest Saturday night at the InterContinental, awarding ties in three top categories -- picture, actress and supporting actor. The recipients followed suit, gracefully acknowledging their fellow winners when it came time to accept.
Recognized for his role as Alien in "Spring Breakers," James Franco tipped his hat to supporting actor co-winner Jared Leto, confiding, " 'My So Called Life' helped me get through high school," but goofed when he mispronounced the actor's name (let it be known, it's "Leh-toh," not "Lee-toh").Accepting his prize more than an hour later in the evening, Leto teased, "I'm very proud to share this with Mr. James Frawncah," pitching "Dallas Buyers Club" director Jean-Marc Vallee on a prequel idea: "James and I could join forces one day, him with the plated grill, the braids and a Hawaiian shirt, me in heels, a miniskirt and a tube top. We could call it 'The Dallas Breakers Club.' "Presenting one half of the top actress prize to "Blue Is the Warmest Color" star Adele Exarchopoulos, L.A. critic Jean Oppenheimer remarked that what impressed the org "has nothing to do with physical nudity, but rather it is the emotional nakedness of her performance." The French thesp marveled at sharing accolades with "Blue Jasmine's" Cate Blanchett, who complimented the young actress and quipped, "Like you, my performance had nothing to do with physical nudity," when her turn came.But it was best picture honoree Spike Jonze (for "Her") who came across as the most sincere onstage, turning to co-winner Alfonso Cuaron (for "Gravity") and saying, "I love the idea that we're sharing it. That makes it even more special. I think all awards should be like that."
"I'm really grateful it was a period piece, so I didn't have to go full Brazilian." -- Jared Leto on having to wax for DALLAS BUYERS CLUB--

Rate Dr. Namir F. Damluji
Dr. Namir F. Damluji's Ratings
This phenomenal doctor is what medicine is all about. Other psychiatrists should take courses from him. He is Not a pill pusher, but when pills are needed he titrates the medicine just perfectly. He also communicates with the family physician and others and keeps everyone in the loop. God has blessed me with this doctor, and even though he doesn't take medicare or my insurance, I will pay out of pocket to get such good care. Worth every minute he takes with you--and it is longer than other doctors.

Dr. D is awesome, he has helped me and my husband (as well as other family members). He is kind, listens, remembers what you tell him, even if you dont see him for a long time. He is the best doctor, I would highly recommend him. He understands, helps you, really cares, seems more like a family friend than a doctor. I wish i could say in words how much he has truly helped my life and my marriage. (my husband and I both have ADD off the charts as well as my husband suffers from depression). Dr. D has gone above and beyond when we had a family tragedy, and puts his patients first. My insurance doesn't cover Dr. D, but I pay out of pocket to keep seeing him, it is well worth it. Absolutely the best.

Dr. Damluji is fantastic although his support staff leave a lot to be desired. He is nearing retirement and so there is little chance that this will change but he is worth putting up with his unhappy admin.

Dr. Damluji is extremely knowlegable, caring, and helpful. His memory of his patient's histories is amazing; he is always professional, but makes me feel like he is my friend and I trust him implicitly.

Very compasionate and knowledgable. Easy to talk with. Takes careful notes yet remembers details without looking through pages of notes.

Hands down the best doctor in Southern California. He is wonderful, returns phone calls, takes notes in detail while you are speaking to him. Listens and understands what you tell him. He genuinely cares about you and remembers everything that you have told him from your past appointments. Very well known in the community and highly refered by other doctors. You must see him no matter what the cost. He is a sanity saver.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2092271].votes_count ]]
Dr. Damluji is beyond compare. He is sensitive, helpful and extremely patient and professional. He is a doctor with insight and compassion. I believe he truly cares about his patients' well-being and overall happiness and enjoyment of life. He's been in 'the business' for over 20 years has incredible knowledge, he isn't one to 'label' patients and he encourages patients to be an active participant in their own health.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2092270].votes_count ]]
Very compassionate. Listens well, truly wants to help. Wish he continued to take my insurance...

Free Download Need For Speed 2 SE game full version from Mediafire upload. Download also got crack and keygen inside so its full upload nothing missing. Enjoy
Need for Speed II is a 1997 racing video game, developed by Electronic Arts Canada and published by Electronic Arts. It is a part of the Need for Speed series and sequel to The Need for Speed (1994), significantly deviating from the emphasis of realism in The Need for Speed to arcade-like gameplay, though it introduces the car tuning. As does its predecessor, Need for Speed II features several exotic cars, and includes tracks set in various parts of the world. The game also opted to remove police pursuits introduced in The Need for Speed.

Put Supernatural Back on Channel 10!
Aussie Supernatural fans are sick to death of the show's poor treatment by Channel 10.
We were left with NO EXPLANATION as to why it was recently taken off and all we were told was "it will be back later in the year". Well, THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
On one week and gone the next, this is no way to treat us dedicated fans! By starting the showing of Season 5 you have made a commitment to fans and we expect you to show the rest of the season NOW!
The fact that it has been replaced by 'The Cleveland Show' is an absolute joke. This show is atrocious and I can't see how it will rate any better than Supernatural.
It's ridiculous that it is being treated this way, Channel 10 get it back on and leave it there. If you're not going to show it soon, well then you'd better rush through the DVD release and send us all copies.

Shut it! Kris transmitted.
"Ahem. Why are we still standing here?"
OOC: I saw a man eating chicken today. I ran as fast as I could.
Where do we go? You ought to lead the way.
"Gh! This is just all really... stressful and confusing." Scorpion started walking in the direction that they had been walking earlier. I didn't realize I was paying enough attention to my surroundings to know which direction to go... I never pay attention. Is that because of the merge, too? she wondered.
Kris followed. "Isej il orbod? Inic es irimenzu. Ej il ot 'Merge', oak ots ets ag ilavzan?*"
*You alright? You seem troubled. Is it because of the "Merge", as you call it?
Startled to hear the word spoken aloud, Scorpion nodded. "Yeah. I'm just... I'm part pokemon. I was never a focused person, but now I'm half Skitty... And... I don't want to be on the run my whole life from a crime I didn't commit..."
A semi (you know, the tractor-trailers? Yeah, just needed to clarify that it was that, and not just a partial truck, because I can't remember if it's a space or hyphen. Sorry about this.) emerged from behind the lab, taking a paved road just past where the Merges were, then stopped. The driver hopped out of the cab, sending a Magnezone out.
Then Gracie calmly stepped up to it, a jet of flames emerging from her fingertip. The Magnezone was swiftly burned, and a single glance into Gracie's eyes caused it to fly around in loops, panicking. "Shall we tamper with the man's memories, or simply use mind control? Your call, Rina."
"I'd suggest memory alteration..." The Scorpion Queen inserted quietly. Mind control seems mean.
"Osket ej, manz. Jurejv im, manz. Etidub inters ots etsin ujudargu u ulejit acnarts!*" Kris frowned, "Kapi. Ot en ezom itib okal, ovotogop oka etsin itanzopu s motpecnok goksteneg agnirejnezni. On, ot en ezom itib evs esol, raz en?**"
"Ot en ezom itib okat okal oak ots adelgzi.***"
*It's hard, I know. Believe me, I know. Be glad you're not implanted into the body of an alien!
**Still. It can't be easy, especially when you aren't familiar with genetic engineering. But this can't be all bad, right?
***That can't have been as easy as it looked.
"What couldn't be as easy as it looked?" Scorpion asked, confused.
"Ot.*" She pointed to Gracie's decimation of the Magnezone.
"Oh. Right..." she suddenly pounced on Max's tail, who immediately jumped to the side, flinging her off onto the ground. "Ow."
Rina? What are we doing to that human?
Isn't it obvious? He takes us to wherever he's headed. Then, we can investigate there. Not the best plan, but if Gracie believes it has merit, then why not?
Scorpion stood up and waited for a final decision to be made by Rina.

China slows Iran oil work as U.S. energy ties warm
The U.S. operations of foreign firms operating in Iran's energy sector could be targeted under sanctions.
October 28, 2010 1:12 by Reuters
China's top energy firms have slowed work on projects in Iran as their ties grow with U.S. energy companies, a blow to Tehran as it struggles under sanctions to attract investment in its strategic oil sector.
OPEC's second-largest producer, needing billions of dollars just to maintain its oil output capacity, has turned to China to fill the vacuum left by Western firms that have withdrawn under political pressure as the U.S. and its allies look to halt Tehran's nuclear programme.
But the Chinese government informally instructed firms to slow down after the U.S. imposed unilateral sanctions on Iran in late June and as two of China's top three energy companies, CNPC and CNOOC Ltd, worked toward deals that gave them greater access to the U.S. energy sector, Beijing-based sources at the companies said.
The U.S. operations of foreign firms operating in Iran's energy sector could be targeted under sanctions. As China's presence in the U.S. energy sector grows, so does its potential exposure to the sanctions.
"The political pressure came directly from the government… and I believe it's logical to draw a link with these U.S. deals," said one industry official with knowledge of China's overseas oil and gas activities.
Third-largest oil and gas firm China National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC), parent of New York-listed CNOOC Ltd , announced earlier this month a $1.1 billion shale gas deal with independent U.S. firm Chesapeake Energy. The deal, pending final U.S. government approval, was its first since its 2005 bid for U.S. firm Unocal was blocked by U.S. regulators and politicians.
China's top energy firm CNPC agreed in September to explore Australia gas with U.S. major Chevron Corp .
The U.S. may have offered improved access to its energy sector for Chinese firms in exchange for Beijing's support for the last round of sanctions imposed by the U.N. security council in June, one analyst said.
China, one of Iran's main trade partners and a permanent member of the council, supported those sanctions on condition they would exclude sanctions on Iran's energy sector.
"As part of its ongoing efforts to convince China to implement sanctions against Iran, the U.S has been discussing access by China to its energy market," said a Beijing-based political analyst who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.
Chinese firms have taken up development roles in some of Iran's prize energy assets, such as the South Pars gas field and the Azadegan and Yadavaran oilfields.
But CNPC has yet to drill its first well at phase 11 of the South Pars gas field, after earlier this year sealing a $4.7 billion deal to develop that part of the world's largest pure gas field. It had previously expected to start drilling as early as March.
"The company has instead been focusing on paperwork, appraising the reserves and mapping out development plans, rather than putting in active work on the ground," said the first industry official.
CNOOC, parent of New York-listed CNOOC Ltd , has made little headway on its North Pars project, after a $16 billion framework deal in late 2006 to develop the field and build facilities to export liquefied natural gas (LNG), industry sources said.
While slowing down, sources said CNPC, which has the largest number of projects among Chinese firms in Iran, would continue to fulfil its contracts.
"Strategically China is not going to give up on Iran," said a second executive with knowledge of the sector's overseas strategy.
Spokespersons at all three state firms declined comment.
Industry newspaper Upstream reported this month that CNPC's engineering arm and upstream research unit have halted work on South Azadegan oil project, despite CNPC's recent move to advance the deal from a memorandum of understanding to a commercial contract.
CNPC signed a preliminary deal with National Iranian Oil Company in early 2009 to take a 70 percent stake in the oil project.
Gas projects are more likely to face delays than oil work, as CNPC and its New York-listed unit PetroChina <0857.HK> have both stepped up gas investments in Australia.
"With PetroChina's potential to take significant gas volumes from Australia through its Shell (Arrow) deal, and CNPC's agreement with Chevron to look at the Wheatstone project, I am not convinced China has a huge need for Iranian gas," said Gavin Thompson of energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie.
"Putting together the technical/US sanction issues, we are not convinced that the development will move ahead for some time".
Many of the patents and much of the manufacturing capability for oil and gas technologies lie with Western firms that have to stay away from Iran. China lacks the technology to complete liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities itself.
"Progress has slowed there as it became difficult to bring in equipment from third-party countries," said the second senior industry official.
Supplies companies are struggling to source include units to separate water and oil, pumps, valves and software, they said.
The problems would likely delay first oil from CNPC's other big Iran oil project, North Azadegan, by about two years to beyond 2015, one official said. Initial plans under a $2-billion deal signed in January 2009 were for production to reach 75,000 bpd in the first four years of development.
It was not clear if Sinopec Group, China's number-two energy firm, has slowed work on its main venture, a $2-billion scheme at Yadavaran, where the firm has deployed nearly 200 people.
"I don't think there has been major impact… First output should come next year, as scheduled," said a third industry executive with knowledge of Sinopec's overseas operations.

|Cents & Sensibility: Change Your Mind, Change Your Life
Cents & Sensibility: Change Your Mind, Change Your Life
Revamping your life doesn't have to mean an immediate and drastic change. Our financialista reviews how slight modifications with Life Success Seminars led her to a new career.
I entered the West Chester Conference Center on April 3, 2008, for the first time filled with anticipation and not having a clue what to expect. I finally had taken the plunge and signed up for the Life Success Seminars (LSS) Basic workshop after months of prodding from a friend. Everyone who had been through Basic promised me that the weekend would change my life. And considering where I was at that point in my life: bored and frustrated with my career and feeling like I needed to embrace a new start, I was ready for it!
LSS uses the tagline, "If I always do what I've always done, I'll always get what I've always got!" It is upon this idea that a weekend of self-exploration and new beginnings is built. The purpose of Basic is to have participants shift the direction of their lives just one degree. Like a ship on a course across the sea, one degree doesn't seem too far off when the shift is first made. But as time passes and the ship continues on its new path, it eventually ends up far from its original destination, perhaps even on a different continent.
During my weekend at LSS, I had some pretty powerful realizations. One was the fact that despite a high level of achievement in my life, I was actually coasting and taking the easy road with my career. But what I didn't know was what I should do next. I was impatient to figure it out.
Eventually I would come to realize that I had gained the skills and self-awareness at Life Success to find the answers in time. While my career at that point was one that was financially lucrative, I knew in my heart that I could be doing more to feel more fulfilled, I just didn't know how. I did know for sure that it was not about money. I had played it safe for the first years of my career and was financially secure for someone in my situation. But I knew by then that a cushy salary did not equal fulfillment. But what did?
A progression of small steps and risks eventually led to the answer and the launch of my financial coaching practice. Two years ago I would not have dreamed of doing such a thing — putting my life savings on the line and quitting the rat race to depend solely on myself for my next meal — seemed scary and absurd. I certainly didn't wake up one morning after Basic and say, "That's what I'll do!" What Basic did was open my mind to the possibilities within me, which allowed me to think a little bit outside the box.
Once I took one step out and survived, it gave me the courage to take the next step. Then the next step and so on. By the time I was officially announcing the launch of my business, it simply felt like the next natural thing for me to do. As Christopher Reeve is known for saying, "So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and … they soon become inevitable."
What Life Success helped me discover over time is that life is not about the safety of the balance in your savings account, it is about the purpose you are saving toward. For me it turned out to be discovering and following my dream of helping everyday career-people gain a grasp on their money. If it hadn't been for that one degree shift, I could still be coasting along on the easy road, agonizing over that deep down intuition that told me there was more to life than a salary.
