The Turnbull connection | An ancestry of passing acquaintance
A painting of the borderlands, copyright © 2001 William Turnbull.
Soon the wistfulness of Saturday mornings will return. Listening to Scottish-football broadcasts over the Internet—a new season in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier League starts on 30 July—puts us in mind of ancestry and separation. Sometime in the past, decisions of forebears cut us off from roots in the border country, from the history of deep-seated animosities and, ultimately, from the game Scots are said to have exported and transformed into a passing art from its beginnings as "dribble 'til you die." The Turnbulls occupied land in the Rule Valley, and it is unknown if they attach or have attached themselves to a particular football team. Our queries in this regard went unanswered last year, although the local preference seems to be for rugby.
Evidence exists from multiple sources, however, that Turnbulls traditionally were a troublesome lot—hooligan prototypes, if you will. The surname, recorded for the first time in 1315 (one year after Bannockburn), occurs frequently in the relevant editions of Pitcairns Criminal Trials. As for relations with neighbors, clan rivalries and the repulsion of border incursions make interesting reading in sources such as The Clan Turnbull:
It is recorded that twelve castles situated in the valley of the Rule were in 1545 burnt, plundered and dismantled by the English, to whom the Turnbulls were most obnoxious. With all their faults, they were deadly enemies to the English and whenever a raid took place on the middle marshes, the Turnbulls were always to be found.
In Scotland as a whole, the thread of distaste toward the English continues, although not on the order of blood and soil (note 1). Even though Scottish football moves on in a beleaguered state, pride of history and the spirit of one-upsmanship remain when eyes look south.
The spirit is well presented in a two-part documentary that aired on Radio Scotland last month, It Wes Us, hosted by Billy Kay (see podcast interview of 31 May 07). The title refers to the Scots' claim to have been modernizers of association football, having advanced it in the 19th century from a crude dribbling game as practiced in England public schools to an aesthetically pleasing mix of players creating space and passing. Special notice in this development goes to Queen's Park of Glasgow, formed in 1867 by members of the YMCA. Richard McBrearty, curator of the Scottish Football Museum at Hampden Park in Glasgow, tells Kay about the shift from an English to Scottish ethos:
The training that these young gentlemen [in England] were getting was really to become leaders, to lead within the British Empire, whether to become generals in an army or to become a major diplomat. You had to show your individual worth. So when it came to the playing field it was the same ethos. You didn't pass the ball. That was passing he buck—it was a cowardly act. It was all about individual prowess on the park, and Scotland is completely different. Through Queen's Park, you actually get, really, a passing game based around almost a working-class concept of coming together … whereby if you didn't have the advantage, you passed the ball on to your teammate who would then carry the attack on. That's the very, very important difference between early football in England and early football in Scotland.
When Scottish businessmen developed concerns abroad—in Sweden, Spain and South America, among other places—they took this passing game with them. Influence from Scotland has also been apparent in Australia, Canada, China and Africa, with football often encouraged by Presbyterian missionaries. T. Jack Thompson of the School of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh charts the place of football in Malawi, formerly known as Nyassaland.
The first footballs were taken out to Malawi at roughly the same time that Rangers and Celtic were being formed [1870s and 1880s], and everywhere you go, even in the smallest, poorest village, you will see little balls made up of paper wrapped together with vines from the trees and kids kicking balls about.
This historical turn has been natural with negative influences prominent on the landscape. In late May, the Enterprise and Culture Committee of Scottish Parliament, which is conducting a formal inquiry into the future of the Scottish game, clashed with the stewards of the Scottish Football Association. Parliament has been examining ways to better organize the professional and grassroots games, having stated in an interim report that "the status quo is not the best possible option for the structure of Scottish football." SFA chief executive David Taylor warned parliamentarians to tread carefully, noting FIFA regulations barring political interference in football's governing structures. Taylor advocates more public investment in the game rather than more committee meetings: "[P]ublic sector support for football has fallen in almost inverse proportion to the time spent by politicians discussing football's problems" (note 2).
Significant debates have been occurring related to one subset of problems: the lack of adequate playing grounds. Given our mental picture of Scotland, characterized by green space and unbroken horizons of heather and wildflower, it is hard to reconcile the shortage. Of course, the challenge arises in the populated areas, with advocates such as the National Playing Fields Association Scotland having to fend off incursions from developers. In one case, 22 pitches in Paisley, near Glasgow, could be sacrificed for a rail link from Glasgow Airport. While noting successful preservation campaigns, NPFA committee member Stewart McLachlan refers to the "secret shame … that deprived areas of the country were more likely to lose their playing fields than affluent towns and suburbs where people were more aware of the threat and could organise opposition better" (note 3).
These local developments have broader implications, according to longtime observers of the Scottish professional game. Craig Brown, former Scotland manager, compares Scotland to Norway, which with slightly less population has proven more successful at placing players in top leagues such as the English Premiership. "I understood a major reason why this was happening when I visited Norway and saw the fantastic indoor facilities there," says Brown. "Almost every village has an artificial indoor facility. There were 12 full-size indoor pitches. Norway also have a permanent training camp in La Manga that they can use during the winter. We haven't had that foresight" (note 4).
The "extreme north," including Scotland and Scandinavia, "fights the almost Arctic elements to provide some welcome to civilization," writes Will Durant. But Scotland, at least, appears to have been slower than others at welcoming artificial surfaces and indoor "mini-pitches" advocated by UEFA. Momentum has been gathering for plastic turf even in Hampden Park, the national stadium, and Dunfermline Athletic of the SPL agreed to have XL Turf installed with UEFA seed money. Alas, the SPL board objected to the surface and has forced Dunfermline to remove the recently laid plastic and to lay real grass at an estimated cost of £600,000. "This makes you think that, if Henry Ford had been born in Scotland, we'd still be riding around on horses," said Dunfermline chairman John Yorkston (note 5).
Despite the political intransigence and dissatisfaction with international results, Scotland remains a reliable caretaker of the game's spirit. The Homeless World Cup recently concluded in Edinburgh in a specially constructed facility in Princes Street Gardens. Scotland truly came to the rescue of the three-year-old event, with organizers having to scramble late last year after abandoning New York as a first-choice venue due to concerns over visa restrictions. The Scotland team emerged for its matches to the thumps of The Proclaimers' "500 Miles" and finished fourth. Earlier in July, the Shetland Islands hosted the NatWest Island Games, including women's and men's football competitions.
The bonds of clubs and history remain strong. Rich anecdotal detail is readily available surrounding the first entry of a British team, Hibernian of Edinburgh, into the European Cup competition in 1955. Before a second-leg home fixture against German champions Rot-Weiss Essen, late replacement Jock Buchanan "was at his mum's house eating two helpings of mince and tatties when he was told he was needed at Easter Road." This tidbit comes from Lawrie Reilly, one of the Famous Five Hibernian forward line that also included Gordon Smith, Bobby Johnstone, Willie Ormond and Eddie Turnbull. Now 82, Turnbull was the first British player to score in the European Cup. He recalls the presence of soldiers from the British Army of the Rhine in the first leg at Georg Melches Stadium on 14 Sept 1955, as well as devastation that remained in Essen from Royal Air Force bombing runs during the Second World War. "[W]e had the biggest support because a lot of British troops were still in Germany," says Reilly. "Most of the terracing fans were in uniform, that's the one thing that stands out even now, that we got good support from the Tommies" (note 6). At a friendly match to commemorate the 50th anniversary—held in Georg Melches Stadium on 23 July—Hibs reprised its earlier victory, 3–0. They helped make Turnbulls everywhere again feel part of football.
1. Such generalities could in no way be substantiated, but we are attracted to the sweeping characterization from historian Will Durant: "The Scots, anciently Celtic, medievally mingled with Irish, Norse, Angles, Saxons, and Normans, had by 1500 merged into a people narrow as their peninsula in feelings and ideas, deep as their mists in superstition and mythology, proud as their promontories, rough as their terrain, impetuous as their torrents; at once ferocious and tender, cruel and brave, and always invincible" (The Reformation: A History of European Civilization from Wyclif to Calvin, 1300–1564, vol. 6 of The Story of Civilization [New York: Simon and Schuster, 1957], 602). | back to text

5. Mark Wilson, "Fever Pitch for Campaigners Ahead of Vote," The Herald (Glasgow), 10 March 2005. In a column in the Sunday Herald, Ian Bell takes a positive view of advancements: "For Scottish schoolboys in the 1960s, ironically enough, grass was sometimes hard to come by. Conspicuous among the street furniture of the average housing scheme was a doleful, Presbyterian sign attached to every patch of green: No Football. By Order. You played on tarmac, on concrete, on gravel. If you were allowed use of the local park, you were granted a rutted, oddly sloping dogs' toilet. In the west, a lot of football was conducted on hellish, lacerating stuff they called red blaes" ("Artificial Argument Should Be Settled by Players," 13 March 2005). | back to text

Old Believers once abounded

However, there are many factions of Amish. For instance, the writer is incorrect in believing the Amish didn't have electricity in their homes in Oregon. In reality, only one Amish family did not have it – when he built their new home west of Whiteson, my uncle Will Miller chose not to install electricity. When he eventually sold the farm and moved to Oklahoma he paid a heavy price for it- the new owners had to retro-fit the house.
It is true that telephones and radios and record players were prohibited as was any musical instrument larger than a harmonica. And some church leaders were not too sure of harmonicas. :)
Here is an article that explains how they got here, etc.
I've only heard/felt/experienced that particular sound only twice so far in my life. Once back in late December of 1992, and the other back in mid September of 1978.
The first time, I was watching a bullet coming at me that ended up lodged (of all places) in the back of my throat. It actually passed through my adams apple on journey there. The second time that I'd heard that similar sound, it had been made by a meteorite that at the time (roughly about 22:00) had the appearance of a flaming VW Beetle tumbling across the sky above my two young daughters and I.
At the time (1992) I'd been pointing out various constellations from a snow covered vantage point roughly about 14 miles from the Yosemite Valley.
Any idea of what you heard this morning?
The sound of the bullet coming at me made a somewhat scaled down, yet similar sound. What I'd thought to be the sound of the fluttering wings of a very rapidly approaching bug, apparently had been the heat radiating from around the bullet.
Burned like hell for a bit, some blood ran down my down my neck, but then the bleeding had stopped by the time I'd made it out of the woods and into the cab of my truck. I chalked it up as a bug bite drove home. About a year later my throat swelled up real bad and one of my buddies (Dar Polhman) looked down inside my throat with the aid of a dental mirror and a pen-light, then he employed a bent shisk-ka-bob skewer that enabled him to arch over my tongue and down deep enough to dislodge what appeared to be a small meteorite, while his wife (Liz) pinned my head down on her kitchen table during the operation. Real nice lady.
I hacked it up and into his hand. He then told me that I'd been shot. I said really?
He pulled out his buck knife, cut it in two, and sure enough, the little meteorite was pure lead.

Sarasota Animal Services sees increased adoption need
Date: October 6, 2011
by: Mallory Gnaegy | Community Editor
Sarasota County Animal Services won't turn away any animals that are dropped off at its facility on Bee Ridge Road. Instead, it either includes the animals in its adoption program or refers or transfers animals to rescue organizations. The animals not transferred are strays, rescue animals that have been treated with cruelty or neglect or are animal-biting cases.
One of Animal Care Supervisor Tami Treadway's eight dogs is a biting case; she says he is a sweet animal. An abused dog she rescued named Boo was used as a search-and-rescue canine. In fact, most of the seven staff members who work at the facility have rescued animals from the shelter.
"They're perfectly good cats and dogs," says volunteer Karen Ankerstar.
Ankerstar, who fosters kittens without mothers, says this is one of the worst years Animal Services has had in terms of overcrowding.
The facility takes in approximately 8,000 dogs and cats each year.
In 2010, there were 1,265 euthanizations of animals at Sarasota County Animal Services. An animal is only euthanized if there is a medical issue or temperament issue; once an animal is admitted into the facility's adoption program, it typically stays there.
"I took a mini survey among my friends and family, and many people know Animal Services exists, but people don't know it's a place to adopt," she said.
Treadway has seen an increase in animals dropped off and believes it is due to the economy.
"If someone can't feed themselves or pay their bills, then how are they going to take care of a pet?" she asks.
Animal Services is in need of supplies, volunteers, foster parents and especially someone to coordinate a foster program.
It is always in need of people who would like to adopt a pet, such as Oliver.
Oliver is a poodle puppy who broke his leg, and his previous owners gave him a homemade splint instead of taking him to the vet. The flesh under the splint started to rot, so he had to have his leg amputated. Animal Services took him in, and his surgery, pre- and post-care were all donated.
In 2010, 815 dogs and cats at the facility were adopted, complete with spaying/neutering; rabies shots; testing for heartworm in dogs and feline lukemia/feline AIDS in cats; at least first vaccinations; deworming; heart worm prevention; flea and tick control; and a microchip. The prices for dogs are $70, $60 for a cat, and there will be reduced fees during the "Adoptathon," which takes place from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29.

Many people with diabetes admit to keeping their diabetes a secret. Less than two years ago, I was one of them. I hated the way people treated me when they found out about my diabetes. I hated being told that I wasn't allowed to eat things by people who didn't have a clue about diabetes. I hated the horror stories people told about their acquaintances with diabetes. I hated people asking me if I had the "bad" kind of diabetes.

Workers' Compensation is an insurance program, adopted in Tennessee in 1919, that compensates employees for injuries they suffer on the job. Employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance to cover the costs of medical expenses and lost wages of employees when they suffer work-related injuries.
As introduced, the Workers' Compensation Reform Act (House Bill 194) reforms the workers' compensation system in Tennessee to provide more certainty for businesses while also protecting the interests of employees across the state.
If passed by the Legislature, HB 194 will reduce the time it takes to receive permanent workers' compensation benefits and improve injury medical treatment. In addition, the process for resolving workers' comp disputes will be streamlined, allowing injured workers to receive compensation and return to work quicker.
According to critics, the current workers' compensation process in Tennessee is unpredictable, cumbersome for determining benefits, and employees are often unable to receive benefits and return to work in a timely manner. Tennessee is one of only two states with a courts-based system. As a result, opponents of the system say, workers' compensation premium rates for employers in Tennessee are higher than the national average.
The legislation will next be heard in the House Government Operations Committee on March 19.
Statewide partnership
addresses human sex
trafficking in Tennessee
House lawmakers joined law enforcement officials from across the state last week to address the issue of human trafficking in Tennessee. In addition, the Women's Fund of Greater Chattanooga, the Women's Fund of Middle Tennessee and the Women's Fund of Greater Memphis officially launched a public campaign to increase awareness and offer resources to prevent human trafficking statewide.
Present at the event were Mark Gwyn, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and Alberto Gonzales, former United States attorney general, as well as various lawmakers from the Tennessee House of Representatives and Senate.
In 2010, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation conducted a study regarding human sex trafficking in Tennessee. The results of the study found trafficking and sex slavery in Tennessee is more common than previously known. The report cited that one in four children who run away from home are approached for commercial sexual exploitation within 48 hours of running away. In addition, the average age of a sex trafficking victim is 13, according to the study.
By working together with various anti-trafficking groups in the state, lawmakers hope they will be able to shine a spotlight on the disturbing crime trend of sex slavery and human trafficking in Tennessee.
Annexation legislation
continues building
statewide support
A package of pro-property rights legislation related to the annexation of land in Tennessee continued building support last week as Tennesseans from across the state joined in to back the effort.
The trio of bills, which are currently making their way through the House committee system, seek to make the overall annexation process more fair and efficient for all interested parties.
As introduced, the legislation requires that:
n A local referendum vote be held to ensure property owners have a voice in the process of a city-initiated annexation;
n A municipality first annex all territory within its urban growth boundary before being allowed to expand further; and
n A municipality must provide all promised public services to areas that it is already supposed to serve before annexing more property.
Currently, Tennessee is one of only three states in the nation that allows a city to seize the private property of an individual without that individual having any say in the process.
(Editor's Note: This week's "Capitol Hill Review" by State Rep. Eric Watson, R-Cleveland representing the 22nd Legislative District, will continue in Tuesday's edition of the Cleveland Daily Banner. It will focus on legislators' continuing efforts in education, as well as a summary of other ongoing actions by state lawmakers. District 22 is comprised of Meigs and Polk counties, and part of Bradley County.)

The Book of Exodus relates the forming of the children of Israel into a church and a nation. We have hitherto seen true religion shown in domestic life, now, we begin to trace its effects upon the concerns of kingdoms and nations. Exodus signifies "the departure;" the chief event therein recorded is the departure of Israel from Egypt and Egyptian bondage; it plainly points out the fulfilling of several promises and prophecies to Abraham respecting his seed, and shadows forth the state of the church, in the wilderness of this world, until her arrival at the heavenly Canaan, an eternal rest.
The children of Israel increase in Egypt after the death of Joseph. (8-14) They are oppressed, but multiply exceedingly. (1-7) The men-children destroyed. (15-22)
Verses 1-7 During more than 200 years, while Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lived at liberty, the Hebrews increased slowly; only about seventy persons went down into Egypt. There, in about the same number of years, though under cruel bondage, they became a large nation. This wonderful increase was according to the promise long before made unto the fathers. Though the performance of God's promises is sometimes slow, it is always sure.
Verses 8-14 The land of Egypt became to Israel a house of bondage. The place where we have been happy, may soon become the place of our affliction; and that may prove the greatest cross to us, of which we said, This same shall comfort us. Cease from man, and say not of any place on this side heaven, This is my rest. All that knew Joseph, loved him, and were kind to his brethren for his sake; but the best and most useful services a man does to others, are soon forgotten after his death. Our great care should be, to serve God, and to please him who is not unrighteous, whatever men are, to forget our work and labour of love. The offence of Israel is, that he prospers. There is no sight more hateful to a wicked man than the prosperity of the righteous. The Egyptians feared lest the children of Israel should join their enemies, and get them up out of the land. Wickedness is ever cowardly and unjust; it makes a man fear, where no fear is, and flee, when no one pursues him. And human wisdom often is foolishness, and very sinful. God's people had task-masters set over them, not only to burden them, but to afflict them with their burdens. They not only made them serve for Pharaoh's profit, but so that their lives became bitter. The Israelites wonderfully increased. Christianity spread most when it was persecuted: the blood of the martyrs was the seed of the church. They that take counsel against the Lord and his Israel, do but imagine a vain thing, and create greater vexation to themselves.
Verses 15-22 The Egyptians tried to destroy Israel by the murder of their children. The enmity that is in the seed of the serpent, against the Seed of the woman, makes men forget all pity. It is plain that the Hebrews were now under an uncommon blessing. And we see that the services done for God's Israel are often repaid in kind. Pharaoh gave orders to drown all the male children of the Hebrews. The enemy who, by Pharaoh, attempted to destroy the church in this its infant state, is busy to stifle the rise of serious reflections in the heart of man. Let those who would escape, be afraid of sinning, and cry directly and fervently to the Lord for assistance.
Exodus 1:1-22 . INCREASE OF THE ISRAELITES.
1. Now these are the names--(See Genesis 46:8-26 ).
7. children of Israel were fruitful--They were living in a land where, according to the testimony of an ancient author, mothers produced three and four sometimes at a birth; and a modern writer declares "the females in Egypt, as well among the human race as among animals, surpass all others in fruitfulness." To this natural circumstance must be added the fulfilment of the promise made to Abraham.
8. Now there arose up a new king--About sixty years after the death of Joseph a revolution took place--by which the old dynasty was overthrown, and upper and lower Egypt were united into one kingdom. Assuming that the king formerly reigned in Thebes, it is probable that he would know nothing about the Hebrews; and that, as foreigners and shepherds, the new government would, from the first, regard them with dislike and scorn.
9, 10. he said . . . Behold, the . . . children of Israel are more and mightier than we--They had risen to great prosperity--as during the lifetime of Joseph and his royal patron, they had, probably, enjoyed a free grant of the land. Their increase and prosperity were viewed with jealousy by the new government; and as Goshen lay between Egypt and Canaan, on the border of which latter country were a number of warlike tribes, it was perfectly conformable to the suggestions of worldly policy that they should enslave and maltreat them, through apprehension of their joining in any invasion by those foreign rovers. The new king, who neither knew the name nor cared for the services of Joseph, was either Amosis, or one of his immediate successors [OSBURN].
11. Therefore they did set over them taskmasters--Having first obliged them, it is thought, to pay a ruinous rent and involved them in difficulties, that new government, in pursuance of its oppressive policy, degraded them to the condition of serfs--employing them exactly as the laboring people are in the present day (driven in companies or bands), in rearing the public works, with taskmasters, who anciently had sticks--now whips--to punish the indolent, or spur on the too languid. All public or royal buildings, in ancient Egypt, were built by captives; and on some of them was placed an inscription that no free citizen had been engaged In this servile employment.
they built for Pharaoh treasure cities--These two store-places were in the land of Goshen; and being situated near a border liable to invasion, they were fortified cities (compare 2 Chronicles 11:1-12:16'). Pithom (Greek, Paturnos), lay on the eastern Pelusiac branch of the Nile, about twelve Roman miles from Heliopolis; and Raamses, called by the Septuagint Heroopolis, lay between the same branch of the Nile and the Bitter Lakes. These two fortified cities were situated, therefore, in the same valley; and the fortifications, which Pharaoh commanded to be built around both, had probably the same common object, of obstructing the entrance into Egypt, which this valley furnished the enemy from Asia [HENGSTENBERG].
13, 14. The Egyptians . . . made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick--Ruins of great brick buildings are found in all parts of Egypt. The use of crude brick, baked in the sun, was universal in upper and lower Egypt, both for public and private buildings; all but the temples themselves were of crude brick. It is worthy of remark that more bricks bearing the name of Thothmes III, who is supposed to have been the king of Egypt at the time of the Exodus, have been discovered than of any other period [WILKINSON]. Parties of these brickmakers are seen depicted on the ancient monuments with "taskmasters," some standing, others in a sitting posture beside the laborers, with their uplifted sticks in their hands.
15. the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives--Two only were spoken to--either they were the heads of a large corporation [LABORDE], or, by tampering with these two, the king designed to terrify the rest into secret compliance with his wishes [CALVIN].
16. if it be a son, then ye shall kill him--Opinions are divided, however, what was the method of destruction which the king did recommend. Some think that the "stools" were low seats on which these obstetric practitioners sat by the bedside of the Hebrew women; and that, as they might easily discover the sex, so, whenever a boy appeared, they were to strangle it, unknown to its parents; while others are of opinion that the "stools" were stone troughs, by the river side--into which, when the infants were washed, they were to be, as it were, accidentally dropped.
17. But the midwives feared God--Their faith inspired them with such courage as to risk their lives, by disobeying the mandate of a cruel tyrant; but it was blended with weakness, which made them shrink from speaking the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
20, 21. God dealt well with the midwives--This represents God as rewarding them for telling a lie. This difficulty is wholly removed by a more correct translation. To "make" or "build up a house" in Hebrew idiom, means to have a numerous progeny. The passage then should be rendered thus: "God protected the midwives, and the people waxed very mighty; and because the midwives feared, the Hebrews grew and prospered."

I discovered today that placing a DECA order does NOT cause MRV to remain on. I had to call customer service to have it turned on again. It took the CSR a while to get it working and I had to run System Test before the re-hit took.
There were definitely some number of people yesterday (all?) that had previously been able to get whole home DVR service turned on while maintaining the 'Choice Xtra plus HDDVR' legacy plan. These are the folks that seem to have had whole home DVR service disabled yesterday when Beta was disabled. I have no explanation for it, just passing on that your experience is the same as others.
It doesn't seem to matter if it was a DIY setup or an installer setup.

Festival of Gnomes sticks with what works
By Annie Alleman For Sun-Times Media November 21, 2012 10:28AM
The 36th annual Festival of the Gnomes is Dec. 1 in Joliet. This is a scene from 2011's rehearsal. | File photo
'Festival of Gnomes'
♦ Dec. 1
♦ The Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park, 201 W. Jefferson St., Joliet
♦ Tickets, $5
♦ (815) 724-3760
Updated: November 21, 2012 10:28AM
The first time the Festival of Gnomes was presented in Joliet more than three and a half decades ago, a woman got up and left mid-show, so offended was she by the troll called the Snotgurgle.
Billie Limacher, who plays Grandma Gnome, received an angry phone call at home after the show from the woman admonishing her for allowing such a gross character at a children's show.
"The next morning, she called me back and said that her grandchildren couldn't stop raving about the Snotgurgle, and they couldn't wait to go see the Snotgurgle again next year, so she said she owed me an apology," Limacher said.
The 36th Festival of the Gnomes will be at 1 and 3:30 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park's indoor theater in Joliet.
The 90-minute live show is a longstanding tradition in Joliet. It is a series of acts that tells different stories about the "wee folk's" good works, said Limacher.
"It's about being good to man and beast, from the very smallest of us," she said. "We hand out packages of bird seed we put together with Christmas paper. We tell the kids to put it out for the birds."
Directing the show are Jan Novotny, her daughter Lori Carmine — who started out as a gnome herself; and Roger McReynolds, who also started out as a gnome. They are in charge of 40 gnomes onstage.
"It is really colorful and it is really active," Limacher said.
The script and the music haven't changed much over the years. Joliet attorney Tom Cowgill still plays the piano, as he has done every year but one. Tom McCabe still plays the Snotgurgle, and still wears the same costume from 36 years ago.
"Each show is different. Although it's the same every year, it's still live theater and always a little different," she said.
Not all gnomes get a speaking role; many communicate simply through pantomime.
"It's a series of short pantomimes. That's why it appeals to kids," Limacher said. "There's action. The gnomes spend a lot of time in the audience. There's singing and there's dancing."
And of course, there's the pointed hat — green felt for the girls and red felt for the boys.
"When you come back the next year, we sew a tassel on your hat," she said. "The 10th year, you get a brown tassel with a dried moonbeam and a dehydrated star. For 20 years, you get a gold tassel. For 30 — and we had three last year — you get a pearl tassel."
After the show, the kids are invited onstage to draw their favorite gnome.
"And it's nearly always the Snotgurgle," she said. "The Snotgurgle is the most repulsive. He has a can of stuff that he holds up to his nose and blows, and the snot goes all over. It's awful. But at the end he cries and becomes very docile. So there's a moral to the story there."

Nebuchadnezzar's golden image. (1-7) Shadrach and his companions refuse to worship it. (8-18) They are cast into a furnace, but are miraculously preserved. (19-27) Nebuchadnezzar gives glory to Jehovah. (28-30)
Verses 1-7 In the height of the image, about thirty yards, probably is included a pedestal, and most likely it was only covered with plates of gold, not a solid mass of that precious metal. Pride and bigotry cause men to require their subjects to follow their religion, whether right or wrong, and when worldly interest allures, and punishment overawes, few refuse. This is easy to the careless, the sensual, and the infidel, who are the greatest number; and most will go their ways. There is nothing so bad which the careless world will not be drawn to by a concert of music, or driven to by a fiery furnace. By such methods, false worship has been set up and maintained.
Verses 8-18 True devotion calms the spirit, quiets and softens it, but superstition and devotion to false gods inflame men's passions. The matter is put into a little compass, Turn, or burn. Proud men are still ready to say, as Nebuchadnezzar, Who is the Lord, that I should fear his power? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not hesitate whether they should comply or not. Life or death were not to be considered. Those that would avoid sin, must not parley with temptation when that to which we are allured or affrighted is manifestly evil. Stand not to pause about it, but say, as Christ did, Get thee behind me, Satan. They did not contrive an evasive answer, when a direct answer was expected. Those who make their duty their main care, need not be anxious or fearful concerning the event. The faithful servants of God find him able to control and overrule all the powers armed against them. Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst. If He be for us, we need not fear what man can do unto us. God will deliver us, either from death or in death. They must obey God rather than man; they must rather suffer than sin; and must not do evil that good may come. Therefore none of these things moved them. The saving them from sinful compliance, was as great a miracle in the kingdom of grace, as the saving them out of the fiery furnace was in the kingdom of nature. Fear of man and love of the world, especially want of faith, make men yield to temptation, while a firm persuasion of the truth will deliver them from denying Christ, or being ashamed of him. We are to be meek in our replies, but we must be decided that we will obey God rather than man.
Verses 19-27 Let Nebuchadnezzar heat his furnace as hot as he can, a few minutes will finish the torment of those cast into it; but hell-fire tortures, and yet does not kill. Those who worshipped the beast and his image, have no rest, no pause, no moment free from pain, ( revelation 14:10 revelation 14:11 ) . Now was fulfilled in the letter that great promise, ( Isaiah 43:2 ) , When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned. Leaving it to that God who preserved them in the fire, to bring them out, they walked up and down in the midst, supported and encouraged by the presence of the Son of God. Those who suffer for Christ, have his presence in their sufferings, even in the fiery furnace, and in the valley of the shadow of death. Nebuchadnezzar owns them for servants of the most high God; a God able to deliver them out of his hand. It is our God only is the consuming fire, ( Hebrews 12:29 ) . Could we but see into the eternal world, we should behold the persecuted believer safe from the malice of his foes, while they are exposed to the wrath of God, and tormented in unquenchable fires.
Verses 28-30 What God did for these his servants, would help to keep the Jews to their religion while in captivity, and to cure them of idolatry. The miracle brought deep convictions on Nebuchadnezzar. But no abiding change then took place in his conduct. He who preserved these pious Jews in the fiery furnace, is able to uphold us in the hour of temptation, and to keep us from falling into sin.
Daniel 3:1-30 . NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S IDOLATROUS IMAGE; SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABED-NEGO ARE DELIVERED FROM THE FURNACE.
Between the vision of Nebuchadnezzar in the second chapter and that of Daniel in the seventh, four narratives of Daniels and his friends' personal history are introduced. As the second and seventh chapters go together, so chapters the third and sixth chapters (the deliverance from the lions' den), and the fourth and fifth chapters. Of these last two pairs, the former shows God's nearness to save His saints when faithful to Him, at the very time they seem to be crushed by the world power. The second pair shows, in the case of the two kings of the first monarchy, how God can suddenly humble the world power in the height of its insolence. The latter advances from mere self-glorification, in the fourth chapter, to open opposition to God in the fifth. Nebuchadnezzar demands homage to be paid to his image ( Daniel 3:1-6 ), and boasts of his power ( Daniel 4:1-18 ). But Belshazzar goes further, blaspheming God by polluting His holy vessels. There is a similar progression in the conduct of God's people. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego refuse positive homage to the image of the world power ( Daniel 3:12 ); Daniel will not yield it even a negative homage, by omitting for a time the worship of God ( Daniel 6:10 ). Jehovah's power manifested for the saints against the world in individual histories (the third through sixth chapters) is exhibited in the second and seventh chapters, in world-wide prophetical pictures; the former heightening the effect of the latter. The miracles wrought in behalf of Daniel and his friends were a manifestation of God's glory in Daniel's person, as the representative of the theocracy before the Babylonian king, who deemed himself almighty, at a time when God could not manifest it in His people as a body. They tended also to secure, by their impressive character, that respect for the covenant-people on the part of the heathen powers which issued in Cyrus' decree, not only restoring the Jews, but ascribing honor to the God of heaven, and commanding the building of the temple ( Ezra 1:1-4 ) [AUBERLEN].
1. image--Nebuchadnezzar's confession of God did not prevent him being a worshipper of idols, besides. Ancient idolaters thought that each nation had its own gods, and that, in addition to these, foreign gods might be worshipped. The Jewish religion was the only exclusive one that claimed all homage for Jehovah as the only true God. Men will in times of trouble confess God, if they are allowed to retain their favorite heart-idols. The image was that of Bel, the Babylonian tutelary god; or rather, Nebuchadnezzar himself the personification and representative of the Babylonian empire, as suggested to him by the dream ( Daniel 2:38 ), "Thou art this head of gold." The interval between the dream and the event here was about nineteen years. Nebuchadnezzar had just returned from finishing the Jewish and Syrian wars, the spoils of which would furnish the means of rearing such a colossal statue [PRIDEAUX]. The colossal size makes it likely that the frame was wood, overlaid with gold. The "height," sixty cubits, is so out of proportion with the "breadth," exceeding it ten times, that it seems best to suppose the thickness from breast to back to be intended, which is exactly the right proportion of a well-formed man [AUGUSTINE, The City of God, 15.20]. PRIDEAUX thinks the sixty cubits refer to the image and pedestal together, the image being twenty-seven cubits high, or forty feet, the pedestal thirty-three cubits, or fifty feet. HERODOTUS [1.183] confirms this by mentioning a similar image, forty feet high, in the temple of Belus at Babylon. It was not the same image, for the one here was on the plain of Dura, not in the city.
2. princes--"satraps" of provinces [GESENIUS].
captains--rulers, not exclusively military.
sheriffs--men learned in the law, like the Arab mufti [GESENIUS].
3. stood before the image--in an attitude of devotion. Whatever the king approved of, they all approve of. There is no stability of principle in the ungodly.
4. The arguments of the persecutor are in brief, Turn or burn.
5. cornet--A wind instrument, like the French horn, is meant.
flute--a pipe or pipes, not blown transversely as our "flute," but by mouthpieces at the end.
sackbut--a triangular stringed instrument, having short strings, the sound being on a high sharp key.
psaltery--a kind of harp.
dulcimer--a bagpipe consisting of two pipes, thrust through a leathern bag, emitting a sweet plaintive sound. Chaldee sumponya, the modern Italian zampogna, Asiatic zambonja.
fall down--that the recusants might be the more readily detected.
6. No other nation but the Jews would feel this edict oppressive; for it did not prevent them worshipping their own gods besides. It was evidently aimed at the Jews by those jealous of their high position in the king's court, who therefore induced the king to pass an edict as to all recusants, representing such refusal of homage as an act of treason to Nebuchadnezzar as civil and religious "head" of the empire. So the edict under Darius ( Daniel 6:7-9 ) was aimed against the Jews by those jealous of Daniel's influence. The literal image of Nebuchadnezzar is a typical prophecy of "the image of the beast," connected with mystical Babylon, in Revelation 13:14 . The second mystical beast there causeth the earth, and them that dwell therein, to worship the first beast, and that as many as would not, should be killed ( Revelation 13:12 Revelation 13:15 ).
furnace--a common mode of punishment in Babylon ( Jeremiah 29:22 ). It is not necessary to suppose that the furnace was made for the occasion. Compare "brick-kiln," 2 Samuel 12:31 . Any furnace for common purposes in the vicinity of Dura would serve. CHARDIN, in his travels (A.D. 1671-1677), mentions that in Persia, to terrify those who took advantage of scarcity to sell provisions at exorbitant prices, the cooks were roasted over a slow fire, and the bakers cast into a burning oven.
7. None of the Jews seem to have been present, except the officers, summoned specially.
8. accused the Jews--literally, "ate the rent limbs," or flesh of the Jews (compare Job 31:31 , Psalms 14:4 , 27:2 , Jeremiah 10:25 ). Not probably in general, but as Daniel 3:12 states, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Why Daniel was not summoned does not appear. Probably he was in some distant part of the empire on state business, and the general summons ( Daniel 3:2 ) had not time to reach him before the dedication. Also, the Jews enemies found it more politic to begin by attacking Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who were nearer at hand, and had less influence, before they proceeded to attack Daniel.
9. live for ever--A preface of flattery is closely akin to the cruelty that follows. So Acts 24:2 Acts 24:3 , &c., Tertullus in accusing Paul before Felix.
12. serve not thy gods--not only not the golden image, but also not any of Nebuchadnezzar's gods.
13. bring--Instead of commanding their immediate execution, as in the case of the Magi ( Daniel 2:12 ), Providence inclined him to command the recusants to be brought before him, so that their noble "testimony" for God might be given before the world powers "against them" ( Matthew 10:18 ), to the edification of the Church in all ages.
14. Is it true--rather, as the Margin [THEODOTION], "Is it purposely that?" &c. Compare the Hebrew, Numbers 35:20 Numbers 35:22 . Notwithstanding his "fury," his past favor for them disposes him to give them the opportunity of excusing themselves on the ground that their disobedience had not been intentional; so he gives them another trial to see whether they would still worship the image.
15. who is that God--so Sennacherib's taunt ( 2 Kings 18:35 ), and Pharaoh's ( Exodus 5:2 ).
16. not careful to answer thee--rather, "We have no need to answer thee"; thou art determined on thy side, and our mind is made up not to worship the image: there is therefore no use in our arguing as if we could be shaken from our principles. Hesitation, or parleying with sin, is fatal; unhesitating decision is the only safety, where the path of duty is clear ( Matthew 10:19 Matthew 10:28 ).
17. If it be so--VATABLUS translates, "Assuredly." English Version agrees better with the original. The sense is, If it be our lot to be cast into the furnace, our God (quoted from Deuteronomy 6:4 ) is able to deliver us (a reply to Nebuchadnezzar's challenge, "Who is that God that shall deliver you?"); and He will deliver us (either from death, or in death, 2 Timothy 4:17 2 Timothy 4:18 ). He will, we trust, literally deliver us, but certainly He will do so spiritually.
18. But if not, &c.--connected with Daniel 3:18 . "Whether our God deliver us, as He is able, or do not, we will not serve thy gods." Their service of God is not mercenary in its motive. Though He slay them, they will still trust in Him ( Job 13:15 ). Their deliverance from sinful compliance was as great a miracle in the kingdom of grace, as that from the furnace was in the kingdom of nature. Their youth, and position as captives and friendless exiles, before the absolute world potentate and the horrid death awaiting them if they should persevere in their faith, all enhance the grace of God, which carried them through such an ordeal.
19. visage . . . changed--He had shown forbearance ( Daniel 3:14 Daniel 3:15 ) as a favor to them, but now that they despise even his forbearance, anger "fills" him, and is betrayed in his whole countenance.
seven times more than it was wont--literally, "than it was (ever) seen to be heated." Seven is the perfect number; that is, it was made as hot as possible. Passion overdoes and defeats its own end, for the hotter the fire, the sooner were they likely to be put out of pain.
21. coats . . . hosen . . . hats--HERODOTUS [1.195] says that the Babylonian costume consisted of three parts: (1) wide, long pantaloons; (2) a woollen shirt; (3) an outer mantle with a girdle round it. So these are specified [GESENIUS], "their pantaloons, inner tunics (hosen, or stockings, are not commonly worn in the East), and outer mantles." Their being cast in so hurriedly, with all their garments on, enhanced the miracle in that not even the smell of fire passed on their clothes, though of delicate, inflammable material.
22. flame . . . slew those men--( Daniel 6:24 , Psalms 7:16 ).
23. fell down--not cast down; for those who brought the three youths to the furnace, perished by the flames themselves, and so could not cast them in. Here follows an addition in the Septuagint, Syrian, Arabic, and Vulgate versions. "The Prayer of Azarias," and "The Song of the Three Holy Children." It is not in the Chaldee. The hymn was sung throughout the whole Church in their liturgies, from the earliest times [RUFINUS in Commentary on the Apostles Creed, and ATHANASIUS]. The "astonishment" of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 3:24 is made an argument for its genuineness, as if it explained the cause of his astonishment, namely, "they walked in the midst of the fire praising God, but the angel of the Lord came down into the oven" ( Daniel 3:1 and Daniel 3:27 of the Apocryphal addition). But Daniel 3:25 of English Version explains his astonishment, without need of any addition.
24. True, O king--God extorted this confession from His enemies' own mouths.
25. four--whereas but three had been cast in.
loose--whereas they had been cast in "bound." Nebuchadnezzar's question, in Daniel 3:24 , is as if he can scarcely trust his own memory as to a fact so recent, now that he sees through an aperture in the furnace what seems to contradict it.
walking in . . . midst of . . . fire--image of the godly unhurt, and at large ( John 8:36 ), "in the midst of trouble" ( Psalms 138:7 ; compare Psalms 23:3 Psalms 23:4 ). They walked up and down in the fire, not leaving it, but waiting for God's time to bring them out, just as Jesus waited in the tomb as God's prisoner, till God should let Him out ( Acts 2:26 Acts 2:27 ). So Paul ( 2 Corinthians 12:8 2 Corinthians 12:9 ). So Noah waited in the ark, after the flood, till God brought him forth ( Genesis 8:12-18 ).
like the Son of God--Unconsciously, like Saul, Caiaphas ( John 11:49-52 ), and Pilate, he is made to utter divine truths. "Son of God" in his mouth means only an "angel" from heaven, as Daniel 3:28 proves. Compare Job 1:6 , 38:7 , Psalms 34:7 Psalms 34:8 ; and the probably heathen centurion's exclamation ( Matthew 27:54 ). The Chaldeans believed in families of gods: Bel, the supreme god, accompanied by the goddess Mylitta, being the father of the gods; thus the expression he meant: one sprung from and sent by the gods. Really it was the "messenger of the covenant," who herein gave a prelude to His incarnation.
26. the most high God--He acknowledges Jehovah to be supreme above other gods (not that he ceased to believe in these); so he returns to his original confession, "your God is a God of gods" ( Daniel 2:47 ), from which he had swerved in the interim, perhaps intoxicated by his success in taking Jerusalem, whose God he therefore thought unable to defend it.
27. nor . . . an hair--( Luke 12:7 , 21:18 ).
fire had no power--fulfilling Isaiah 43:2 ; compare Hebrews 11:34 . God alone is a "consuming fire" ( Hebrews 12:29 ).
nor . . . smell of fire--compare spiritually, 1 Thessalonians 5:22 .
28. In giving some better traits in Nebuchadnezzar's character, Daniel agrees with Jeremiah 39:11 , 42:12 .
changed the king's word--have made the king's attempt to coerce into obedience vain. Have set aside his word (so "alter . . . word," Ezra 6:11 ) from regard to God. Nebuchadnezzar now admits that God's law should be obeyed, rather than his ( Acts 5:29 ).
yielded . . . bodies--namely, to the fire.
not serve--by sacrificing.
nor worship--by prostration of the body. Decision for God at last gains the respect even of the worldly ( Proverbs 16:7 ).
29. This decree promulgated throughout the vast empire of Nebuchadnezzar must have tended much to keep the Jews from idolatry in the captivity and thenceforth ( Psalms 76:10 ).
