|The insignia is similar to that of a Master Chief Petty Officer's, but the stars are usually higher above the fouled anchor and USN appears where your crossbar is.
|What does the front say? And those 'stamps" inside the lid?
From what I have seen so far, I would call it an "immigrant's trunk" and not earlier than 1900. Doesn't appear to have dovetailed construction. I can't tell if the metal work is hand wrought and if that is metal or leather on the corners.
How big is it?
- Posted by valmont325 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 18, 12 at 20:52
|Well its definitely 19th Century, so it is earlier then 1900. It is Hand Wrought. No leather. Not Dovetailed but Nails on most but noticed the bottom is wood peg.
Measures 26 1/4" W 16 1/4" D 14 14 1/2" H
illegibly on front "JW Olsson Nort Amerika Schenektady"
No i didnt spell it wrong...thats how its spelt so i wasnt sure if that is significant.
|Very significant.....tells me it's likely an immigrant's or bride's chest....and likely from someone coming from Sweden or Norway...possibly Denmark...I'm not up on the Scandanavian surnames.
It's small...I see no wooden pegs. How do you know it's 19th century? Can you see any saw marks?
- Posted by valmont325 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 18, 12 at 23:44
|small wood pegs are on the bottom boards. I won it at an auction,i trust this auction house and they say 19th century seaman's chest. Also inside the chest there are 2 postage stamps. These stamps are "The Landing of Columbus" 2 cent stamps from 1893.
|Why would 2 cancelled postage stamps be on the inside of the chest?
Can you show pictures of the pegs?

|ha..good call on the stamps never thought of that. The chest is at my work and im at home right now. So i will have to take photos tomorrow of the pegs.

|Why does the brass tag have a different name than the front painted on name? Hmmm...
When you look at again...look for saw marks...particularly on the bottom.
|The size does not surprise me, it's typical size for a sea chest (nautical equivalent of an Army foot locker). The name on the brass tag doesn't match the name on the inside writing across the lid of the chest, btw. However, all are Swedish. Not surprising, either. There have always been clumps of certain ethnic groups when they come to America. Sea chests are smaller than foot lockers because of the very limited space available in crew's quarters or steerage, or most staterooms btw. That's why this piece is not fancy, it's not a steamer trunk it's just a functional piece and built as cheaply and simply as possible. Don't expect anthing like fancy brass edging along the corners, dove tails or even finishes. I hve my father's foot lockers he had accumulated over the years and some of which were in hold baggage on ships. On the outside is his name, and other pertinent identifiers. I use them for storage now, and even painted and padded some for seats. Linda is not too far off in her dating, if the stamps are any indication.
Schnectady was a port city, btw on the Mohawk river, a tributary of the Hudson. The Hudson being deep enough to be a major international marine port. Cargo moving on river routes were still an important transportation route for goods even when I was a child. I remember coal barges well.
When we think marine traffic, we might also consider that there were dynamic and large forces of civilians whose occupation was civilian in nature, mercantile.
How this plays into your chest.........well you may not find out much more about it, but there is some sort of story involved in its history. The designs inside an enigma. Looks painted by the owner of the chest and who knows what they meant to him. I can't find any exact matches to the insignia and it could have just been conjured up because it meant something (even if incorrectly) to the person who drew it.

|The brass plate indicates that "Jack" had a license ... but with what country?
You might get luck looking at immigrant lists and ship's registers for those names. Ships crew arrivals were handled differently than passengers.
I have a similar sized chest, but with a spiffy India ink pirate on it, and a different lid. Mine opens without requiring any space behind it for lid clearance.
It was used on the Pacific shipping runs by one of my distant cousins.

|Well i was talking with someone who knows a bit about stuff and apparently the YW means its from a Water Barge and the "Olsson " was the name of the said Barge.
Here is the photo of the "Pegs" and bottom of chest.
Ps. I look and it is Dovetailed on the sides.
|I don't see any indication of a dove tail. The peg joinery is still in use today. Good deal on the J. Olsen being a boat's name. You should verify that, there are sources. My g'grandfather was a riverboat man and the history of the barges and packets plying our waterways here is abundant. That makes some sense of the city being imprinted on the outside of the chest....since Schenectady was in inland fresh water port, like I said.
|Could be a connection to the Erie Canal.
- Posted by valmont325 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 19, 12 at 20:24
|Those dovetails are crude and appears to have been made with a hand-saw and chisel. The wide spacing indicates the builder wanted to spend minimum time to custom fit the dovetails, and made only enough to fit-up the structure.
The Erie canal sysyem ran across New York state and did eventually reach Lake Erie, but was soon put out of business by railroads. The canals froze in winter, and some sections were drained of water in winter.
There was very little room on board a canal boat for personal belongings, in fact, more space was alotted to the draft animals than for the boat operator. Some of the canal boats carried a spare tow animal aboard. On a long haul, the tow animals were changed periodically (one animal on the tow path with one animal resting aboard). A tow operator might go one way for 10 to 20 miles, and then, stay ovenight at a canal station. The next day, he would make the return trip to his starting point.

|Thanks everyone. Next step is trying to get info from the auction house on who was selling it and then finding out where they had got it. It would be amazing to have concrete info to go along with this. Wouldnt it be amazing if someone had a photo of the original owner with the trunk. But even if i dont get these things its still a part of history. Any value on this? I have seen worse looking ones go for at least $100.

|Someone mentioned that the "YW" indicated it was a water barg. That may very well be true.
Under International Meritime Law and vessel that is unattended while underway is a derelict, and can be boarded and seized as a salvage vessel. Underway is defined as any vessel that is not anchored or tied to a dock so technically speaking, in the early days of tug boats pulling barges on a tow cable, the barge itself was an unattended vessel underway. To meet the letter of the law and prevent ppl from boarding the barge while it was being towed and declaring salvage rights they had a small shack on every barge and they had a "Barge Captain" that remained on the barge while underway. When in port the Barge captain was responsible for supervising how the cargo was loaded and secured, and insuring any and all deck or cargo hold hatches were properly closed and sealed.
Sometime around 1920 the maritime law was revised, stating that when a barge was connected to a tug boat by means of tow cable it was an extension of the tug boat, under the command of the tug boat captain and the barge captains were no longer required.
|The ensign for United States yatchs and power squadrons use a fouled anchor encircled by 13 stars. However, the anchor for these designations is tipped, the top of the anchor tipped to the left. The shape of the anchor with snaring rope is identical to the one on your chest.

|The dovetail spacing is exactly as it should be. It is only with the advent of machine-cut dovetails that they look more like a box joint(equal amounts of pins and tails).
With first-growth timber, the stability and strength was inherent.
Maybe jemdandy would like to show us examples of (his/her) dovetail work.

|sorry for multi post
|"The dovetail spacing is exactly as it should be." That was my point. The style and apparent hand cut construction (of the dovetails) is another indicator of its age. I can see the end of the saw cuts on one of the dovetails, and I hazard a guess that it was cut with a miter saw; The kerf is very narrow. These dovetails are close fitting for handcuts, an indicator of care that was applied.

|Sounding good so far
|A similar spelling, Amerikay, was used in a 19th century Irish song/ballad about an Irishman imigrating to the shores of Amerikay (pronounced as spelled) to seek a home for his true love. He laments that he may never get back to his homeland, Ireland.
The song: "The Shores of Amerikay"

I just made these. I subbed grade B maple syrup for the honey and baked them for 30" in a 9 x 9 pan. They are awesome, very nice moist texture similar to a fudgy gluten filled brownie!! No one would guess they are eating their veggies.
# Posted By Barb | 7/20/13 2:12 PM
Fabulous! I'll measure my sweet potato next time, but the recipe does seem to be very forgiving for the size of the tuber. Very moist, good chocolate flavor, but I think I'll cut back on the amount of honey next time too, because I like really dark chocolate flavor.
# Posted By Trish | 7/22/13 8:30 AM
Excellent!! I mixed the sweet potato in the food processor with the oil, then added the rest of the ingredients. I baked it in an 8 x 11 glass dish, for 30 minutes, and it turned out perfect. Very moist and delicious.
# Posted By Emily | 7/22/13 2:14 PM
Very curious what I might sub for almond flour as we are nut free over here. Sorghum flour perhaps? Total guess, I have no idea. Hoping someone here might be more knowledgeable.
# Posted By valleygirl | 7/22/13 3:33 PM
Does anyone think I could substitute stevia for at least part of the honey?
# Posted By Mary | 7/22/13 11:35 PM
Very tasty - used maple syrup (1/3 cup) in place of the honey. Pleasantly surprised! I am new to gluten free baking and was making myself a treat for the weekend and these did not disappoint.
# Posted By carmen | 7/26/13 5:01 PM
Hi Mary, I was going to use rice flour. We don't have almond flour here either. Hoping it'll be good!
# Posted By Donna | 8/6/13 5:46 PM
This is a silly question, do I peel the potato ? Thanks.
# Posted By Bev | 8/6/13 6:55 PM
scoop the potato out of the skin after you bake it.
# Posted By julia | 8/30/13 9:10 PM
Please!!! How much sweet potato in a measurement? One cup,two cups, three cups ???
# Posted By Bev | 9/4/13 6:47 PM
What size pan do you use to bake this?

|Sempra Facilities Managers Leo and Glenn deliver a small portion of the many pallets of donations coming to Soldiers' Angels from the company.
Once again, employees of Sempra Energy of California are going full-bore in support of the troops.
It started in 2008, when Brad Morrison was on the employee charitable giving committee for the company's headquarters in Anaheim, CA. He saw Soldiers' Angels on a list of charities, started looking into it further, and decided it was a good fit for the company. He secured a $1000 grant from committee funds and did a donation drive for care packages.
The donation drive in 2008 was such a success that Brad started getting emails from other locations who wanted to be involved. Eventually, he created a Start Kit to help the many other Sempra locations do their own drives. "It really blossomed to this point where our entire company is involved and starting to donate,"Brad says. Soon Sempra support for Soldiers' Angels was region-wide (from San Diego to Los Angeles County), thanks to the sponsorship of Company VP Brett Lane.
Last week, the first of a number shipments and drop-offs from this year's item drives began to arrive at the doorstep of Soldiers' Angels in Pasadena. Much more is expected, with each Sempra Energy region doing its own drive with about 20 employees. Since the drive is still in progress, the exact amount is unknown, but last year brought over 3,000 tons of item donations and nearly $20,000 in financial donations.
Huge thanks to Sempra Energy! Soldiers' Angels has wings aflutter to see the results of Sempra's most recent efforts in support of the troops! For more information about the drive, click the image below...

Posts Tagged 'Bokeh'
SIGMA 24-70, HSM F2.8 REVIEW PART 5 (Bokeh)
This is to see which of the lenses produce a better bokeh effect. Wikipedia describes it as:-
"In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light." Differences in and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively."
These images are higher res for your viewing pleasure.
From what I can see, the Sigma lens gives a more rounded and far pleasing effect with the out of focus lights. I'm looking for another copy of the 24-70 Canon lens as I want to do some portraits with both lenses. At the moment I prefer the Sigma lens.
SIGMA 24-70, HSM F2.8 REVIEW PART 4 (Sharpness)
None of these images have been edited other than the normal processing into jpegs from the original raw files.
What you will notice is a slight shift with what each lens can see. They are both set to 24mm but as far as I can tell, the differing lens designs capture two different amounts of space. This is because the Canon lens zooms out in order to capture the 24mm focal length and the Sigma zooms out at the 70mm. I neglected to include the 70mm for both lenses because the difference is even more pronounced. I'm sure this can be corrected but it's probably beyond my time and patience.
Included below are some crops from the images above. From the centre and the middle showing centre sharpness and edge sharpness.
Centre Sharpness
You can clearly see the Canon lens is without a doubt sharper in the centre of the lens than the Sigma at f2.8. At f22 it looks like the Sigma catches up some what but the Canon lens still bests it. You don't even need to see it in the closeups, the thumbnails actually illustrate the differences.
Edge Sharpness
It's going to be difficult here to make a true comparison because both lenses capture fractionally different pictures (again lens design dictates this as mentioned previously). I also shouldn't crop one lens to fit the frame of the other. Otherwise it wouldn't be a fair comparison since one of them won't have been cropped from the edge of the frame.
For example, the details on the left side of the images (arched lines) for the Sigma are on the right side for the Canon crops. Of course the area captured by Sigma looks sharper but that isn't as near to the edge is it? Anyway, the Canon lens I think is still sharper on all counts. But the Vignetting is more pronounced, producing darker edges at 24mm than the Sigma.

When your fingers are swollen, your wrists are throbbing, and your knees hurt from rheumatoid arthritis, moving them may be the last thing you want to do. But it can be one of the best things you do. Daily physical therapy exercises for RA help strengthen muscles that support your joints while helping you retain flexibility and movement and increase stamina.
"You're going to hurt no matter what," says Brett Cook, a physical therapist who works with arthritis patients at Independence Rehab in Sandy, Utah. "When you get up and move, you'll actually have less pain and more energy."
Cook knows what he's talking about, and not just because of his medical background. At the age of 1, he was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. "I understand the pain and fatigue of living with RA," Cook says. "I also know firsthand that physical therapy for RA vastly improves one's quality of life."
Follow these five suggestions from Cook and other RA experts to make physical therapy a successful part of your rheumatoid arthritis treatment.
Cobbling together your own exercise program could result in more pain and joint damage. Ask your rheumatologist to recommend a physical therapist who has experience working with people with rheumatoid arthritis.
"We can create an individualized physical therapy program based on your RA symptoms and disease progression," says Jim Long, senior physical therapist at Cleveland Clinic's Lutheran Hospital. Plus, a physical therapist can make sure you're doing the exercises correctly. And she can show you new ones to try, so you'll be less likely to get frustrated and give up.
Though it may be tempting to say, "I hurt too much today. I'll do my exercises tomorrow," don't give up. Instead, work a different, less painful part of your body.
For instance, if your knees are killing you, "do some seated wrist and arm exercises like bicep curls," suggests Cook. Warm-water exercises are also good because the water's buoyancy relieves pressure on your joints, and the warmth is soothing.
As with any kind of exercise program, you're more likely to do it if you make a habit of doing it at the same time every day. Schedule your workout time on a calendar and treat it just like you would a doctor's appointment. In other words, don't cancel!
Mornings can be tough since joints get stiff overnight. A warm shower does more than wake you up -- it also serves as your therapeutic warm-up. Moist heat increases muscle relaxation, boosts blood supply to the painful area, and relieves muscle spasms.
For Audrey Sawyer Mills, who was diagnosed with RA a decade ago at age 29, warm water is a relaxant, pain reliever, and motivator. "I'm more likely to follow through on my physical therapy exercises once the water's soothed me," she says. Mills' home in Houston, Texas, is equipped with a hot tub, whirlpool sauna, and a shower rail.
Physical therapy for RA involves more than range-of-motion exercises and resistance training. Aerobic exercise is an essential part of PT for RA. "Weight-bearing activities build and strengthen bone while reducing your risk of other health problems like heart disease and diabetes that often accompany rheumatoid arthritis," Long says.
Pair up with a walking partner or sign up for a class for people with arthritis. "You're less likely to bail on an activity if you know others are counting on you to show up," Long says.
Check with your local Arthritis Foundation office to find a health facility near you that offers arthritis-friendly exercise programs including aquatic, tai chi, yoga, and walking activities.
The first few years after her diagnosis, Mills felt she was in too much discomfort to manage any physical therapy. Her pain and mobility got worse until the once-active young mother was using a cane. "I was a 30-year-old trapped in a 90-year-old's body," Mills recalls.
Determined to "get better for my kids," Mills began working with a physical therapist and vowed to do her exercises every day, even through painful flare-ups. "I was especially motivated because I saw how rheumatoid arthritis affected my mom's ability to get around and enjoy life," she says.
Whether you want to be able to keep up with your on-the-go family, pick up your grandchild, or climb the stairs in your home, physical therapy is the tool to help make these things happen. Let family and friends know about the goals you've set: You'll be less likely to cheat yourself and more motivated not to skip your PT. Plus, loved ones can cheer you along the way.
In addition to keeping up with her kids, Mills' other goal was to get back to the gym. Today, she teaches spin class three days a week and competes in body-building competitions. "People say they'd never guess I have a debilitating form of arthritis," says Mills, who acknowledges, "I wouldn't be the active person I am today if I didn't make physical therapy for RA a priority every single day."

Inuvo Subsidiary Faces High Rent Costs in NYC
Posted 5/6/2013 12:00 am
Publicly traded Inuvo Inc. is still working on moving all its operations to Conway. One of its recent filings with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission shows that progress is being made:
A tech developer called Shopkeep Inc. has agreed to sublet the spot occupied by Alot Inc., one of Inuvo's subsidiaries in New York.
It's at 143 Varick St. in New York City. The filing states that the property is owned by Manhattan's Trinity Church, which, The New York Times reported in April, owns 5.5 million SF of commercial real estate in the city.
Inuvo CEO Richard Howe told us in an email that Alot would eventually relocate to Arkansas with the rest of Inuvo's operations.
"All of the businesses are moving here to Arkansas," he said, noting that some of its New York and Florida team members will stay in those states and work remotely.
Oh, and the rent on the 14,000-SF office space Shopkeep is moving into? $48,544 per month after a $300,000 security deposit. Easing costs like that was a major part of Inuvo's decision to move to Conway.
"While we do not disclose these costs, suffice it to say our lease in Arkansas is considerably less than our lease in NY," Howe wrote.

Dewey is our organization's first service puppy in training. This little guy, pictured above, is a Golden Retriever who was bred by CAMEO Golden Retrievers in Corapeake, North Carolina. He was born on June 10, 2012.
Dewey is a typical Golden puppy – he's friendly, well-behaved, loves to play, is obsessed with water, and always seems to have a smile on his face. He and his puppy raiser, Megan Warhover, are practically celebrities on campus!
Tigger is our organization's second service dog in training. He is a Golden Retriever mix that was born on May 11, 2012.
This sweet boy was sent to us by our parent organization, CHAMP, because he needed a little extra socialization. Alicia Mendoza, his puppy raiser, had him from February 7 to April 2 of 2013, when he was returned back to CHAMP to continue training and living with his CHAMP puppy raiser.
The second newborn to come to Puppies with Purpose is Hershey, a Chocolate Labrador from Neverest Labs in Fox Lake, Wisconsin. He was born on December 30, 2013.
Hershey is a little spitfire who is always up for an outdoor adventure. He loves walks, chasing sticks, and swimming in the pond at the local dog park. His favorite color is purple and he'll do most anything for a treat!
After a few rounds of training through the prison program and much deliberation, it was decided that Hershey would be better suited to being a therapy dog. His puppy raiser, Brittany Wibbenmeyer, adopted him from CHAMP and is working with him to become a certified therapy dog. As a therapy dog, Hershey will be able to visit patients in hospitals, people in nursing homes, and children in schools to provide comfort and love.
Darling Daisy is the first female to come to Puppies with Purpose. Born on July 8, 2013, she was kindly donated to us by Harvestime Kennel in Menasha, Wisconsin. We picked her up on August 26, 2013 and Ellen Hinze is ecstatic to be her puppy raiser!
So far, Daisy is proving to be one smart pup. She only had a few accidents before being almost fully potty-trained, and has the sweetest temperament. Her signature feature just might be the bows she wears on her ears sometimes. She will be dressing up as Minnie Mouse for her first Halloween!
Riley was born on August 21, 2013 at Golden Rose Kennel in Norlina, North Carolina. We picked him up on October 19, 2013. The fabulous Kristi Millam is his puppy raiser.
Yankee was born on September 26, 2013 at Brooks Labradors in Lucas, Texas. We picked him up on November 26, 2013 and his puppy raiser is Allie Beydler.
Puppies with Purpose is especially excited about Yankee because his breeders at Brooks Labradors also train some of their dogs to be Diabetic Alert Dogs as well as Mobility Assistance Dogs!
One of two puppies we picked up from Peertree Acres Labradors in Jefferson City, Missouri, Scout was born on December 31, 2013. He came to us on February 18, 2014. Scout is being co-raised by Joy Heady, Megan Warhover, and Terri Warhover.
Wyatt is Scout's brother, also from Peertree Acres Labradors in Jefferson City, Missouri. We picked him up on February 18 of 2014, as well. Thanks to Peertree's generosity, CHAMP received 4 new puppies! Wyatt is being co-raised by Brittney Wibbenmeyer and Tony Bonano.
Sadie, a golden retriever, is the second female to join the Puppies with Purpose gang. She was born on July 2, 2014. We picked her up from Golden Rose Kennels in Norlina, NC (Riley's breeder) on September 2, 2014. Ellie Morr and Catherine Zak couldn't be happier co-raisers!

Warning: Illegal string offset 'video_embed' in /home/hssp9874/public_html/wp-content/themes/wp-inspired_basic/single.php on line 36
Nov 11,2010
Recently I got a Windows Update message on my WHS telling me that there is a update available to Security Essential.
This is the same version I have on my Windows 7 box. 2.0.522.2
Currently, The version I have installed on my WHS is 2.0.375.0
If I run the update, it fails.
WHS error message.
This is because the current build, released Nov 9,2010. version
I tried downloading the current build to my WHS and did the UNBLOCK thing and in Properties, I choose run as XP, it still won't install.
So it looks like Microsoft patched Security Essentials latest build to exclude XP and WHS, So if you want to install Security Essentials on your WHS and use the MSEN add-in, find yourself a copy of version 2.0.375 before it's to late.

Sony is to cut up to 10,000 jobs worldwide as part of a major reorganisation at the Japanese electronic giant.
The announcement was made at a news conference in Tokyo on Thursday by Kazuo Hirai, the company's new chief executive.
Up to six per cent of its global workforce will lose their jobs as Sony aims to reduce costs and balance huge losses.
Hirai earlier this week announced an annual loss forecast estimated at a record $6.4bn.
He is under pressure to fix an ailing TV unit and turn around a brand that has been trampled on by US-based Apple and South Korea-based Samsung in the consumer gadgets market.
"We have heard a multitude of investor voices calling for change," Hirai told the packed news conference at Sony's headquarters.
The company expects to make the job cuts over the next 12 months.
That reduction includes staff working in businesses that are being sold, such as the company's joint venture in making flat screen displays.
Sony said it would focus its business on the areas of digital imaging, games consoles and mobile devices.
In a statement ahead of the briefing, Sony said it would post a restructuring charge of about $926m in the year to March 2013, and aim to cut its fixed costs in the TV business by 60 per cent in the 2013/14 business year from this year's levels, and trim 30 per cent off the business' operating costs.
Sony, along with other leading Japanese TV makers Sharp and Panasonic have been battered by weak demand, fierce competition and a stronger yen that makes exports less competitive.
The three companies expect a combined loss for the year just ended of $21bn - more than Sony's entire market value,which has slumped by close to a fifth in the past month.

Calliope Hummingbird
Stellula calliope
- Hummingbirds
- 1 million
The Calliope Hummingbird is the smallest breeding bird in North America and the smallest long-distance avian migrant in the world! This 3.25" long pollinator travels some 9,000 km round-trip on migration from northwestern U.S. and southwestern Canada to south-central Mexico. This tiny bird is threatened by a small winter range, which renders it vulnerable to a disease outbreak, large landscape changes, and severe weather events.
The latin name Stellula means "little star," given to the Calliope for the male's streaked bright red gorget or throat patch over a white background. His upperparts are all green which extends to the sides of his white belly. The female and juveniles also have green upperparts and solid buffy underparts. Adult females and subadult males can show some red spotting on the throat. Calliopes have a short, square tail that has very little rufous, as distinguished from Broad-tailed and Rufous Hummingbirds, and a thinner and shorter bill than Rufous or Allen's. Its shorter wings make it sound more like a bumblebee than other larger hummingbirds. Adult males can be distinguished in the field by their unique aerial display, consisting of a series of U-shaped dives starting and ending at the same points. A pfft or bzzt sound is made from the bottom of these dives.
Distribution and Population Trends
Calliope breeds in the mountains of western North America from British Columbia and Alberta south through Nevada and California, and east to Montana and Wyoming. The Upper McCloud River Important Bird Area (IBA) in California supports breeding Calliopes. It winters in a small area in south-central Mexico from the states of Sinaloa and Durango south to Oaxaca, and can be found in Tancitaro and Tacambaro, two Mexican IBAs. Breeding Bird Survey data (see link below) indicate a statistically nonsignificant 0.3% per year decline rangewide from 1966-2001 but with significant declines in Montana and Oregon. It is increasingly observed overwintering in southwestern and south-central portions of the United States.
Despite its small size and long migration route, this hummingbird does not find comfort in numbers. It makes the roughly 9,000 km round-trip on its own, splitting the trip into smaller segments to refuel. Its fall migration route follows the Rocky Mountain Cordillera and Sierra Madre Occidental. Traveling at an elevation of roughly 3,900 m, they stop in subalpine and alpine meadows to refuel. When they arrive on their wintering grounds, they occupy a range of habitats from dry thorn forest up to the transition between arid and humid pine-oak forests as well as brushy areas. They return in the spring along the Pacific coast at an elevation of roughly 5,400 m. En route they occupy desert washes, low coastal mountains, and coastal riparian habitats, before heading eastward if they breed in the Rockies. Here it is mostly a montane species, breeding at elevations ranging from 1,200 m to timberline. It occupies habitats ranging from riparian forests to shrub-sapling secondary growth to open montane forests.
Males arrive on the breeding grounds before the females in late-April to early-May. Males maintain a territory in which multiple females will nest and take sole responsibility for raising the young. Females construct nests usually in pine or other coniferous tree, but sometimes in apple, or alder, usually with the nest tucked under an overhanging branch to reduce exposure to the elements. The nest is often built on the base of an old pinecone and looks like a pinecone when complete. Two eggs are incubated for 15-16 days. Nests may be used more than once. Calliopes consume floral nectar from flowers of many different colors, as well as small insects that may be captured in flight. It also eats sap from wells in trees created by sapsuckers.
Many species of pollinators have shown decreases across the continent. Little information is available on the overall issues that are causing these declines but potential threats include habitat loss, increased use of pesticides, and replacement of native plants by invasive plants. The restricted wintering range of Calliope Hummingbird makes the species more susceptible to natural disasters, diseases, or land use changes that could wipe out significant portions of the population.
Despite its unique characteristics in the avian world, Calliope Hummingbird has not been well studied, leaving much of its life history unknown. In order for any conservation measures to be taken that would benefit this species, we need to better understand the biology and needs of this species.
Partners in Pollination/Alianza para Polinizacion, a consortium of non-profit organizations, universities, and businesses, was formed in 1995 to increase awareness of the importance of pollinators to ecosystems, encourage research and conservation on plant/pollinator interactions, and influence policy related to plant/pollinator conservation.
The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum's Migratory Pollinators and Their Corridors project is working to educate, develop community stewardship, and conservation for plant/pollinator systems in the U.S. and Mexico (http://www.desertmuseum.org/conservation/mp/polpart.html).
What Can You Do?
Audubon's Important Bird Areas program is a vital tool for the conservation of Calliope Hummingbirds as well as other species. To learn more about the Important Bird Areas program, and how you can help, visit: http://www.audubon.org/bird/iba/.

In Hamburg, Archbishop Werner Thissen entered retirement accepted today, making Germany's largest diocese the fifth to become vacant, after Passau, Erfurt, Freiburg im Breisgau and Cologne. Archbishop Thissen came to Hamburg in 2002 and turned 75 in December.
The Archdiocese of Hamburg in its current form is very young, being restored in 1994 out of territories formerly belonging to the Dioceses of Hildesheim and Osnabrück and the Apostolic Administration of Schwerin, which was completely absorbed by the new circumscription. Hamburg is the only diocese to cover parts of both former West and East Germany. But although it didn't exist for the major part of the 20th century (from 1930 to 1994), Hamburg does have a long history.
It was first established in the ninth century from the Diocese of Bremen and was already a metropolitan archdiocese then. It not only included parts of modern Germany, but also most of modern Denmark. In 1972 it was unified with Bremen, becoming the Archdiocese of Hamburg-Bremen, which covered also parts of modern Sweden, Finland and the Baltic states. In the 16th century the Reformation hit, and Hamburg-Bremen was suppressed. Almost a century later the Church in northern Germany reached a new semi-stability as the Apostolic Vicariate of the Nordic Mission, which included roughly the northern half of Germany, parts of modern Poland, the Nordic countries including Iceland. After much of that territory was split off into various new dioceses and administrations, the rump of the Nordic Missions vanished again, becoming part of the Diocese of Osnabrück in 1930. Schwerin, the part of Osnabrück that was in East Germany, became its own administration in 1973. In 1994, the new Archdiocese of Hamburg was restored as outlined in the image above, taking the bishop of Osnabrück, Ludwig Averkamp, with it as its first archbishop.
A short video on the Archdiocesan website serves as a small note of thanks to the retired archbishop, highlighting, among other things, the funeral of Archbishop Averkamp and Archbishop Thissen's efforts that lead to the beatification of the martyrs of Lübeck, three priests and a Lutheran pastor who were murdered by the Nazi regime.
Archbishop Thissen hails from the Diocese of Münster, having been born in the city of Kleve near the Dutch border. After his ordination in 1966 he was a parish priest, spiritual councillor and subregent of the diocesan seminary. Following his promotion in 1974 he worked in the diocesan offices in the sections for general pastoral care and pastoral care for clergy and employees of the diocese. He became a resident cathedral chapter member of Münster in 1984 and vicar general in 1986. In 1999, Msgr. Thissen was appointed as auxiliary bishop of Münster and titular bishop of Scampa. In 2003 followed his appointment as archbishop of Hamburg.
And a second video, showing Archbishop Thissen's love for music as he says goodbye to a number of faithful at the chapel of St. Ansgar in Hamburg:
The process of selecting a new archbishop is not unlike the one I outlined earlier, when discussing how a new archbishop of Cologne is chosen. A diocesan administrator is to be chosen within eight days, and in the meantime the senior auxiliary bishop, Msgr. Norbert Werbs, runs the archdiocese. The cathedral chapter, the nuncio and the bishops of the Province of Hamburg (which also includes Osnabrück and Hildesheim), as well as those of the Provinces of Cologne and Paderborn, the Archdiocese of Berlin and the Dioceses of Erfurt and Görlitz are all to present candidates. The Pope will then draft a list of three names from all of these proposals, from which the cathedral chapter is to choose a new archbishop. The expectation is that this entire process can take as long as a year.
He led a diocese for less than four hours, but Bishop Manfred Melzer probably won't lose any sleep over it. It is simply standard procedure in Cologne: as the archbishop retires, leadership of the archdiocese falls automatically to the most senior auxiliary bishop. Until, that is, the cathedral chapter has picked a diocesan administrator, and they didn't take very long to do that. Vicar General Msgr. Stefan Heβe (pronounced "Hesse") (pictured at right) runs the ongoing affairs of the archdiocese until Pope Francis confirms the election of a successor to Cardinal Joachim Meisner, who retired today after 25 years, two months and a few days at the head of one of Germany's oldest sees.
In 1988, Cardinal Meisner came to Cologne from Berlin, 14 months after the death of Cardinal Joseph Höffner. Today he becomes the first archbishop of Cologne in almost 129 years to retire, and he does so at the almost unprecedented age of 80. Cologne now joins three other German dioceses – Erfurt, Passau and Freiburg in Breisgau – which are also still awaiting a new bishop, in the case of the former two since October of 2012.
Cardinal Meisner leaves Cologne in the hands of diocesan administrator Msgr. Heβe, and Auxiliary Bishops Melzer, Dominik Schwaderlapp and Ansgar Puff. The diocesan administrator now had the duty to collect an expansive report on the state of the archdiocese and send that to the Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Nikola Eterovic. In the meantime, the see of Cologne is Sede vacante nihil innovetur, in other words, while there is no new bishop, no changes may be made. In other respects, Msgr. Heβe has the same rights and duties as a diocesan bishop.
The Archdiocese of Cologne, or Köln as it is properly called, is the second oldest in Germany (only Trier is older), dating back to the year 200, and once dominated the western part of modern Germany as well as major parts of the Low Countries. The Dioceses of Roermond (Netherlands), Magdeburg, Aachen and Essen (Germany) and parts of Liège (Belgium) were at one time or another all part of Cologne.
The archbishops of Cologne were powerful men, in that rather German way that they were both spiritual and worldly leaders, being electors of the Holy Roman Empire. Today, while not the primatial see of Germany, Cologne remains important, being the largest diocese in number of faithful (some 2 million) and covering a significant part of the Industrial Ruhr area and including the major cities of Cologne, Bonn (former capital city of West Germany) and Düsseldorf. Cologne has produced 10 cardinals and 7 ordinaries who were declared saints.
Joachim Meisner was born on Christmas Day 1933, in what is now Wroclaw in Poland, but at the time the city of Breslau in Germany, which was rapidly falling into the clutches of the Nazis. Having lived through the war as a child and young teenager, Joachim Meisner ultimately became a priest of the Diocese of Fulda in 1962, days before his 29th birthday. In 1975, he was appointed as Auxiliary Bishop of the Apostolic Administration of Erfurt-Meiningen, which has been established only two years before (tensions between communist East Germany and the Holy See meant that the former had almost no full-fledged dioceses). Bishop Meisner was also given the titular see of Vina. In 1980, he became the bishop of Berlin, which, because of the aforementioned tensions, was not yet an archdiocese. Bishop Meisner stayed there for eight years, being created a cardinal in 1983, before being called to Cologne in 1980 (a poster welcoming his arrival is pictured at left).
Coinciding with his retirement, Cardinal Meisner published his final Lenten letter, which is also a farewell to his archdiocese and the faithful for whom he was pastorally responsible. He concludes the letter as follows:
Dear Sisters, dear Brothers,
I was allowed to serve you as Archbishop of Cologne for a quarter of a century. I have always wanted to testify to the peace of God and bring this across to you, since it is the strength of our hope. I thank you once again from my heart for all the strength which I found in that and beg you all very much for your forgiveness when my service were not a source of strength, but perhaps a source of irritation. The Lord will complete everything which was only fragmentary in my service. I will remain – God willing – among you until the hour of my death and will now have more time to pray for you all, and bring all your concerns and hopes to the heart of God.
The all-powerful God bless you all, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit!"
And now? The Archdiocese of Cologne has already started the process of selecting a new archbishop by appointing a diocesan administrator. Possible candidates will now be chosen by several entities, all according to the Concordat that the Holy See signed in 1929 with Prussia, the state of which Cologne was then a part. Among these entities are Archbishop Eterovic (pictured) as the Papal Nuncio; the bishops of the other dioceses which were part of Prussia: Aachen, Berlin, Erfurt, Essen, Fulda, Görlitz, Hamburg, Hildesheim, Limburg, Magdeburg, Münster, Osnabrück, Paderborn and Trier; and the cathedral chapter of Cologne.
The Nuncio will then collect all proposed candidates and will create a list of three candidates which he considers the best choices. This so-called terna will be added to the other proposals and sent to Rome, where the Congregation for Bishops will draft its own terna based on the information provided. The list will then go to the Pope, who will either confirm it, or make some changes of his own. Then, the list goes back to the cathedral chapter of Cologne.
The cathedral chapter will elect the new archbishop from final terna. Voting continues until one candidate has an absolute majority of votes (at least 8 out of 15). After three voting rounds, only the two candidates who got the most votes continue. If all candidates have five votes after the second round, only the two oldest candidates continue on. For the fourth round of voting a simple majority is sufficient. Do both candidates still have the same amount of votes, the oldest candidate is elected.
After a new archbishop is elected, the governments of the States of Nordrhein-Westfalen and Rheinland-Pfalz can voice political concerns against the elected. The Nuncio must seek and obtain the permission of the elected for this. Once the governments agree, the Pope officially appoints the new archbishop.
Today the German Diocese of Görlitz bade farewell to its first bishop, Rudolf Müller, who had passed away on Christmas Day at the age of 81. A priest since 1955. Bishop Müller was appointed to head the Apostolic Administration of Görlitz in 1987. He became the first ordinary when Görlitz became a diocese in 1994. In 2006 he retired.
The Requiem Mass at the cathedral of St. James was offered by Rainer Cardinal Woelki, archbishop of Berlin, together with Görlitz's current ordinary, Bishop Wolfgang Ipolt. Bishop Leopold Nowak, emeritus of Magdeburg, gave the homily, while the Apostolic Nuncio to Germany, Archbishop Jean-Claude Périsset, Bishop Norbert Trelle of Hildesheim, representing the German Bishops' Conference, and Bishop Stefan Cichy of Legnica, Poland, also attended.
Bishop Müller's death was sudden, despite his advanced age. Bishop Cichy said of the deceased: "Bishop Rudolf remains in my memory as a joyful man who liked to sing, a good neighbour and a true friend."

With yesterday's retirement of Bishop Joachim Reinelt the Berlin Church Province is close to completing a significant generational shift. For the first time since the province, which consists of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Berlin and the Dioceses of Görlitz and Dresden-Meiβen, was established in its modern form in 1994*, a new generation of bishops is set to take over.
In July 2010, the bishop of Görlitz, Konrad Zdarsa, was moved to Augsburg, and he can be considered something of a transitional bishop, having helmed Görlitz for only three years. His predecessor, Bishop Rudolf Müller, had been Görlitz's chief shepherd for almost 20 years. In June of last year, Bishop Wolfgang Ipolt became the new bishop.
In February of last year, Georg Cardinal Sterzinsky retired as Archbishop of Berlin, making way for Rainer Maria Woelki to become the youngest member of the College of Cardinals as of three days ago.
And yesterday, Bishop Joachim Reinelt retired as the bishop of Dresden-Meiβen, a position he had held since 1988. He reached the obligatory retirement age of 75 in October, but, as these things go, the resignation he tendered then was only now accepted. Running the diocese now is 71-year-old vicar general Msgr. Michael Bautz, but the eventual new bishop may well be younger than that. The neighboring bishops, Berlin's Cardinal Woelki and auxiliary Matthias Heinrich, and Görlitz's Ipolt, are 55, 57 and 57 respectively.
The Diocese of Dresden-Meiβen covers the major part of Saxony and small parts of eastern Thuringia, and is centered around the cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Dresden and the co-cathedral of Saint Peter in Bautzen.
*On 27 June of that year, Berlin became a metropolitan archdiocese with Görlitz and Dresden-Meiβen as its suffragan dioceses. Before that date, Görlitz had been an apostolic administration ever since it was split off from the Polish Archdiocese of Wroclaw in 1972, and Dresden-Meiβen had been immediately subject to the Holy See. A reflection of the status quo of post-war East Germany.

Last year all eyes were on Pope Benedict's successful visit to the United Kingdom, and now we are at the brink of what I think could be an equally momentous visit: the first official state visit to Germany. And while 100 parliamentarians plan to be somewhere else than the Bundestag tomorrow (and Archbishop Zollitsch optimistically hopes they'll give the pope's address a good read afterwards), while protesters claim to be able to muster several tens of thousands to their cause (and the Holy Father is rumoured to have some trepidation because of that – not that it'll keep him away from his native country), and while even Hans Küng is stirred from his slumbers to make some old-fashioned comments, many thousands of people from Germany and abroad eagerly await to papal shoes setting foot on the concrete of Berlin's Tegel airport.
If the UK visit is anything to go by (and that remains to be seen), this visit certainly has the potential to stir things up and reinvigorate the German faithful and Church, and even those beyond. And what with Germany's leading position in Europe, this visit is in many ways a visit to Europe as well. What the pope will say and do will have a bearing on Germany, but. I expect, no less on all Europeans, especially those in the secularised west. As the Holy Father said in his televised address three days ago: "[I]n these days we want to try to return to seeing God, to return to being persons through whom the light of hope might enter the world, a light that comes from God and helps us to live." The hearts and minds of the people of the secularised west must be reopened to God, so that He may become visible again in our lives. The visit will therefore be a missionary visit: like Saints Paul and Peter travelled to strengthen the faith of small Christian communities, so does the Successor of Peter visit the Christian communities, Catholic or not, of Germany this week.
For Archbishop Rainer Woelki, installed less than a month ago as Berlin's ninth bishop (and second archbishop), this will the big event he never had the time to prepare for, and the one his predecessor, Cardinal Sterzinsky, had hoped he would live long enough to see. But Archbishop Woelki, who will welcome the pope upon his arrival in Berlin tomorrow, will be used to the rocky start of his heading the Church of Berlin; one day after his own installation, he was called upon to consecrate new Bishop Ipolt of Görlitz, one of Berlin's two suffragan dioceses. Having the pope come for a visit will perhaps be something of a matter of course now. Although his joy, his awe and his desire to impress the magnitude of this occasion on the people of Berlin do shine through in a letter which was read in all churches of the archdiocese this weekend.
And it is a momentous occasion. For the pope, certainly, who has few chances to visit the country where he grew up and which he clearly loves. But also for the Church in Germany, for the people of all faiths and also for the political world in and beyond Germany. The pope comes as a head of state, certainly. He was invited as such by the federal president. But the pope can never be just a head of state. He also comes as the Successor of Peter as the visible head under which all Catholic faithful are united, as the man to whom Christ Himself entrusted the care of His Church in these times. We do well to give him our ear and our mind, and pay loving attention to what the Holy Father will teach and express in the coming days.
Because, as the motto of this papal visit says, Where God is, is the Future!

The east of this blog's area of interest, that is.
Tucked away in the triangle formed by Germany's borders with Poland and the Czech Republic is an interesting remnant of a once powerful ecclesiastical jurisdiction – or one of the remnants, one should say. The Diocese of Görlitz was created in 1972 as an apostolic administration to conform with the post-war borders in east and central Europe. Before 1972, this was part of the great Archdiocese of Breslau, stretching across parts of modern Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic, and split in separate parts following the Allies' divisions of the Third Reich.
Now one of the smallest German dioceses with a mere 30,000 Catholic faithful, Görlitz runs the risk of being something of a lost child in the Church of the west. But good things have a tendency to be noticed, as became clear in July 2010, when Görlitz's bishop, Msgr. Konrad Zdarsa, was sent to Augsburg, where his predecessor, Bishop Mixa, had just left amid much rumours and confusion. Bishop Zdarsa had been occupying the see of Görlitz for only three years when he was reassigned, so evidently he must have made good in the small diocese. But his departure did leave the good people of eastern Saxony and southern Brandenburg without a bishop.
Now, almost exactly a year later, a clergyman from Erfurt is sent east become a shepherd. Msgr. Wolfgang Ipolt is 57 and becomes the fourth bishop of Görlitz, with its 60-some priests, and 80-some religious. Bishop-elect Ipolt was until now the rector of the interdiocesan seminary in Erfurt, which also serves Berlin, Dresden-Meiβen, Magdeburg and Görlitz, as well as students from Lithuania, Poland and the Czech Republic. As rector of such a seminary, Msgr. Ipolt may be expected to have a similarly international outlook, especially eastward towards the great Catholic nations of Poland and Lithuania, but also to the fledgling Church communities in the former German Democratic Republic – communist East Germany. The new bishop, then, reflects the identity of the diocese: situated between past and present – the strong Catholic history of past Breslau and the future of the new dioceses in eastern Germany.
With this appointment, only Berlin remains vacant in Germany.
With today's acceptance of the resignation of Georg Cardinal Sterzinsky, a major European capital's Catholic flock is left without an archbishop. For the time being of course, but the cardinal archbishop, who turned 75 some two weeks ago, leaves an interesting act to follow. When he was appointed in 1989 there was no Archdiocese of Berlin. Sterzinsky, until then a priest of Erfurt-Meiningen (now simply Erfurt), became the bishop of a divided diocese in an East Germany that started to show the cracks that would lead to the German reunification in 1990. Because of the important role of Berlin in the new Germany, and its position in history among other German cities, Bishop Sterzinsky was elevated to Cardinal in 1991, aged only 55. The reorganisation of the dioceses that followed the Wende saw Berlin elevated to an archdiocese and Sterzinsky as its first archbishop.
Berlin, which includes the city of the same name, north and central Brandenburg and eastern Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (including the Baltic island Rügen), is now temporarily led by its auxiliary bishop, Msgr. Matthias Heinrich, who is obliged to convene the cathedral chapter to elect a diocesan administrator, who will run the archdiocese until the pope appoints a new archbishop.
In north and western Europe, where bishops and Catholics are a bit thinner on the ground than in the south, there are a number of bishops approaching the required retirement age of 75, and also some who are already past that age. In Germany, for example, they are Bishop Wilhelm Schraml of Passau (75) and Archbishop Joachim Cardinal Meisner of Köln (77). Archbishop Karl Cardinal Lehmann of Mainz and Bishop Joachim Reinelt of Dresden-Meissen will reach that age later this year. Related to that, the Diocese of Görlitz has been vacant since last year.
Outside Germany, the situation is comparable, although most surrounding countries have far fewer bishops. In Norway, the Territorial Prelature of Trondheim has been vacant since 2009, with the bishop of Oslo running things temporarily. In the Netherlands, Rotterdam is vacant, although no other Dutch bishops will turn 75 for the next seven years. In Belgium, too, the next bishop up for resignation is Bishop Jousten of Liège in November of 2012. The archbishop of Luxembourg, Fernand Franck, on the other hand, will turn 77 in May, and is still in office. In the United Kingdom then, Archbishop Mario Conti of Glasgow, and Bishops Peter Moran of Aberdeen and Edwin Regan of Wrexham are all 75 or over and still in office. Meanwhile, the bishops of Brentwood, Hallam and Portsmouth will all reach 75 this year, while the Archdiocese of Cardiff remains vacant. Ireland, then, with its spate of bishops' resignations in the wake of the abuse crisis, is a story in itself.
The current vacancy of Berlin may be a herald of some interesting changes in the Church in and around the Netherlands, but how long those changes will take is anyone's guess.
All that being said, Cardinal Sterzinsky's illness leaves him bedridden in the hospital, so his resignation is nothing but understandable, although it is said that he would have liked to be able to welcome Pope Benedict XVI in function when the latter will visit Berlin in September.

It may be the time of year when nothing much seems to be happening – unless you're a Belgian bishop – and he may be about to leave for his summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, but Pope Benedict XVI has shown once again to be on top of things when it comes to appointing bishops in striken dioceses. First Bruges only had to wait a few months before seeing Msgr. De Kesel replace Bishop Vangheluwe, now Augsburg gets a new shepherd to succeed Bishop Walter Mixa, who resigned amid a storm of confusion and accusations to and fro. 66-year-old Bishop Konrad Zdarsa will go from Görlitz, where he was appointed only three years ago, to Augsburg. Let's hope he gets along will with that diocese's two auxiliary bishops and staff.
In a bit of random-yet-interesting trivia, Katholiek Nederland reports that the government of Bavaria has the right to veto any episcopal appointments in that state. Bishop Zdarsa passed their scrutiny, though.

text: It took Daniel Day-Lewis almost a decade to join his wife, writer/director Rebecca Miller, in making Ballad, in which he plays Jack, a staunch environmentalist who lives on a former commune, isolated except for his tight relationship with his 16-year-old daughter, Rose (Camilla Belle). Keener plays the woman who turns their delicate world tumultuous. Miller sent Day-Lewis the script about eight years ago, before he'd met her. ''I was both attracted to it, and at the same time I knew in that moment I wasn't able to do it,'' he says. ''But I loved the way it was written: She has that wonderful thread of humor that runs through everything.'' The two met not long after, married, and years later the timing was right. Filmed chronologically a rarity in the spare environs of Prince Edward Island, the movie (which debuted at the recent Sundance festival) was shot in a slim seven weeks, a spree compared to Day-Lewis' previous eight-month shoot on Gangs of New York. ''To have a chance to go back to working that way was a joy in itself,'' he says. ''[The story] is just alive, right in front of you the whole time.''
