Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is a short story collection by noted English Biblical and textual scholar, Montague Rhodes James. The opening story, "Canon Alberic's Scrapbook", was originally published in the National Review during March 1895 under the title "The Scrap-book of Canon Alberic"; "Lost Hearts" first appeared in the Pall Mall Gazette in December of that year. The remaining six stories saw print for the first time in this collection, but had been written at various dates between c.1892 and 1904. Most were originally composed to be read aloud for the entertainment of James's colleagues and students at Christmas gatherings, held annually in his rooms at King's College, Cambridge, where …

The EU encourages political stability and multiparty democracy in Nepal. With the deployment of a large Election Observation Mission, the EU has been actively engaged in supporting Nepal's peace process, which led in May 2008 to the abolition, by the Constituent Assembly, of the monarchy and the establishment of a Republic.
EU development co-operation with Nepal aims to contribute also to peace and stability in the country. In the framework of its Country Strategy Paper (2007-2013) and in close consultation with other donors and with the Nepalese authorities, the EU will support during the period 2007-2013 stability and peace building activities, education for all, trade facilitation and economic capacity building (see Country Strategy Paper [269 KB] + Mid-Term Review [164 KB] + Indicative Programme 2011-2013 [164 KB] ).
A Memorandum of Understanding on the Multi-Annual Indicative Programme (MIP) 2011-2013 was signed between the EU and Nepal in January 2011. EU co-operation covers three main sectors - education, support to stability and peace building and trade and economic capacity building.

Bilton (or Bilton-in-Holderness) is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles (8 km) east of Hull city centre on the B1238 road and adjoining the village of Wyton. According to the 2011 UK census, Bilton parish had a population of 2,220, a decrease on the 2001 UK census figure of 2,340.
The civil parish of Bilton consists of the villages of Bilton, Ganstead and Wyton.
In 1974 most of what had been the East Riding of Yorkshire was joined with the northern part of Lincolnshire to became a new English county named Humberside. The urban and rural districts of the former counties were abolished and Humberside was divided into non-metropolitan districts. The new organization did not meet with the pleasure of the local citizenry and Humberside was wound up in 1996. The area north of the River Humber was separated into two "unitary authorities"—Kingston-upon-Hull covering the former City of Hull and its closest environs, and the less urban section which, once again, named itself the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Tom Carver is not your ordinary cleaner. He cleans up after the police and medics have left a house where a dead body was found and makes sure that everything looks back the way it used to be. Blood, guts, you name it. After he's done, everything looks brand new again. One day he gets called out to a house where a man committed suicide. The owners aren't present but the key was left outside under a flower pot so he goes in and does his job.
The next day, he realises that he forgot to put the key back in place so he returns to return it but when he arrives the woman present doesn't seem to know what he's talking about. Tom doesn't want to get into trouble so he decides to pretend a mistake was made and leaves. Tom used to be a cop until his wife got killed in a shooting and he still got his instincts. He doesn't trust the matter and decides to have a chat with his former partner Eddie Lorenzo who's also the godfather of his daughter. However, before he manages to talk with him, Tom sees on TV that the man of the house he cleaned has gone missing. Even worse: the guy apparently was supposed to be a key witness in a corruption case that leads straight into the police department. Tom realises that he's cleaned up after a murder and that when this comes out, the cops will treat him as the primary suspect. There's nothing to do now but to find out himself what has happened before the investigators go after him…
Sound and Vision:
We didn't spot any major issues with the image and also the sound is reasonable. The movie doesn't contain a lot of action but the dialogues are nicely positioned at the front center speaker while the surrounds are used in a subtle way.
Cleaner is a dark thriller with an atmosphere that can be compared with that of Unforgiven. Samuel L. Jackson really shines here as the troubled Tom Carver who hasn't come to peace with the death of his wife and now has to take care of his daughter all by himself. All he wants is a quiet life and no trouble but unfortunately trouble finds him and he now gets forced to act if he wants to keep his life as it is.
The pace of the movie is slow and at times you may wonder when something is going to happen, but it's all part of the setup of this film. Instead of a making a standard action movie, Harlin has managed to make Cleaner stand out of the crowd by keeping a modest tone. Definitely one to check out if you want a change from the usual action movies

MOBILE, Alabama -- A Mobile man pleaded not guilty last week to participating in an assault and kidnapping last year.
Brandon Jarrod Nobles -- also known as B-Nova, according to the indictment -- stands accused of kidnapping, using a firearm in a crime of violence and a conspiracy charge. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Katherine "Kit" Nelson ordered Nobles, 26, detained pending trial. Also last week, Nelson ordered a psychological exam of co-defendant Zerrick Charles Robinson.
According to the indictment, Nobles and two others burst into a Chickasaw home shouting "FBI" and "police," and demanded that the resident give them drugs and money. The Chickasaw Police Department assisted in the federal investigation.
The indictment alleges that Robinson, 27, struck the man and a woman with his gun, and shot the man several times.
Robinson, Nobles and the third man, 31-year-old Miller Jerrell Griffin, then took the woman away and demanded several thousand dollars for her return, according to authorities. Later, according to the indictment, the kidnappers made the woman use her cell phone to call others for the money.
Each of the defendants has an extensive criminal record. Nobles faces a felony murder charge in connection with the death of Terry Joseph in February of last year, and also stands accused of stealing an automated teller machine from the Wilmer Grocery.
Griffin -- who authorities say goes by the street name "Click Down" -- pleaded guilty to a 2001 robbery charge and a 2004 assault charge. A 1998 capital murder charge was dropped.
Robinson faces a separate kidnapping charge in state court stemming from a June incident. He pleaded guilty in 2003 to shooting into an occupied vehicle.

Your thoughts may be erratic and fleeting today and leave you feeling agitated. If your mind is restless and tense, you may become irritable when trying to convey your thoughts to others. You could avoid miscommunication by taking a few moments to settle yourself and relax before initiating conversations with people. You may find that you express your thoughts more easily and with greater clarity when you feel calm and at ease. Meditation, deep breathing, and exercise could relieve the mental frustration you feel and help you regain control of your train of thought. You may also be able to find respite today in putting your thoughts down on paper or in a personal journal.
Quieting your mind before speaking to others can help you feel more relaxed when conversing. It's easy to let the strength of your personal opinions or your need to control conversations make you restless. Keeping a calm and cool mind-set allows you to avoid miscommunication and get to the heart of the matter at hand. No topic or conversation partner will be able to disconcert you or distract you from what you need to say. Your ability to keep your emotions in check could prevent intense feelings from getting in the way of facts and help you stay eloquent when discussing difficult subject matters. Taking time to calm your mind before speaking today will help you express yourself in a more grounded and thoughtful manner.

Viewer Comments: Perforated Eardrum - Causes
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Perforated Eardrum:
Comment from: Mommy to eight, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: May 11
Ever since I was a baby, I have been subject to ear infections. I outgrew them for awhile, then in high school, they came back. I remember one cold that was so bad, my ears didn't have a chance. Both ear drums burst in my sleep. I had discharge on my pillow in the morning. When I was about 45, it happened again. It was one of those pathetic summer colds that got my ears. This past week, we have had colds in my house. For me, it was sinus pressure, but clear nose; headache and backache; and I was very tired. Pretty pathetic. I was feeling better yesterday morning. Then I felt the fluid in my ear in the morning, so I took some Sudafed. I had pressure in the afternoon, by dinner, my ear was hurting really bad, I knew my ear drum was going to burst again. I took some Ibuprofen for the pain and used a hot rice bag on my ear to help it feel better. I also used some Afrin nasal spray to relieve congestion overnight. Last night, I had the best sleep of all the past week. I woke once in the night and my ear felt fine, then I felt the discharge. When I turned over with my infected ear up, the air was cold on it and it hurt, so I covered it and it felt better. In the morning, there was some bloody discharge and I have cotton in my ear to protect it from germs and cool air that causes pain. This ear infection came up so quickly, I couldn't have seen the doctor and started on antibiotics quick enough to prevent the eardrum rupture. This cold my family got is much stronger than it seems. The cold part isn't so bad, but my husband ended up with severe bronchitis, my two little ones have conjunctivitis and possible ear infections; and I had fluid in my ear that developed into an ear infection and my ear drum burst in one day!
Comment from: 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: January 19
I'm not sure if my ear is perforated or not, I had a cerumen impaction and used Debrox to correct the impaction. A couple days later I woke up in the morning with an excruciating pain in my ear. The pain subsided but now I have an intermittent ringing in my ear. My hearing has somewhat been affected but I'm still able to hear out of it.
Comment from: motherofascreamer, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: January 03
My ear drum perforated because my three year old daughter let off the highest pitched scream (in excitement), that I have ever heard. She has always been a screamer but the pain was/is so intense I now cannot hear anything. I am currently taking antibiotics because it is seriously infected. I am also worried as my ear is swollen and I am having difficulty talking.
Comment from: geoffrey, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: December 17
I wiped out surfing and the surfboard blasted my ear directly. It feels like I can't clear the pressure from my ears. One symptom I haven't heard from others it the sensation that air is entering and escaping through the ear.
Comment from: sue, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: November 29
My right eardrum ruptured during takeoff during a flight. I had a bad cold to begin with and knew there was fluid buildup in my right ear before flying, but I certainly didn't expect a rupture and was alarmed. The pain was excruciating and blood seeped out of the ear. The descent of the plane hurt also, but less. I have partial hearing loss on the right side. It's been 4 days now on Amoxicillin, no change so far, I hear this does not go away quickly.
Comment from: Yasir, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: July 09
I received a slap on my left ear during a small fight that resulted in almost complete hearing loss immediately. With no pain inside the ear, it feels like something is stuffed in my ear which is blocking my hearing. I don't know whether my eardrum got perforated or not but it was interesting to see slaps are listed as one of the causes for perforation. I hope mine gets recovered soon. I am taking antibiotics but no change in almost two days.
Comment from: 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: September 15
My perforated eardrum occurred spontaneously after having a cold and subsequent fluid in my ear. They called it serous otitis media.

A few months ago one of my best girlfriends notified me that her husband left her, after 23 years of marriage. I could feel her pain and suffering in her voice. He always was the center of her Universe, he meant everything to her.
I also could hear the hope in her voice; the hope for his returning to her.
I spent a lot of time trying to be next to her, to support her; wasn't much I really could do for her, unfortunately.
This unhappy event in my friend's life inspired me to paint a Series of 3 paintings,from "The Eternal WHYs" series and depicting 3 different moments in a woman's life, in such a painful period.
Please read the Full Description…:) The from "The Eternal WHYs" series is exhibited here in my Gallery, please check them out…:)
In real these paintings look very, very impressive. I painted the women's bodies using Gold and Bronze.
In the 3 paintings there are 3 different women.
I opted for this skin color because I wanted the artworks to tell a sad story that can happen in any women's life, anywhere on the globe. For the same reason the women does not have faces either.
To emphasize the message of each painting, and the 3 different captured moments, I used the colors according to the depicted phase. My choice of the technique I used for the execution of this Series, serves the same purpose.
Original paintings are for Sale.
18×24 Acrylic on Stretched Canvas, all framed, ready to hang.
The frames are Gold, 3in wide.
If interested in purchasing the original painting or the whole Series, please contact me at:
To purchase this painting you may also contact The Art Gallerist website.

TravelPod Member ReviewsDomus Pacis Torre Rossa Park Rome
A very nice hotel with compfortable and clean rooms
however for students without a car it is not a safe walking distance from any of the attractions/sites.
the food was nice and there are several nice restaurants within walking distance
it is just too far too walk and on very dangerous roads with no pavements to the sites

Historical Traveler Reviews Domus Pacis Torre Rossa Park Rome
Do not go
First impression was very good. Lovely setting. Restaurant out on the terrace looked very inviting and the entrance lobby looked very nice. However, the rooms, although ours where spacious, left a lot to be desired. The tiles in the shower were black with mold and the bedding felt damp. The rooms were quite dark and dingy. But the stay went badly wrong when we tried to have a meal in the hotel. We had asked if we needed to book and were told we did not. so we turned up at about 7.30pm and it took us ages to attract a waiters attention to be seated. we could not sit outside and were then told we were not allowed to bring our drinks we had purchased in the hotel bar into the hotel restaurant. We were then told we could not sit together as there were to many of us (8). So we pulled 2 tables together. out of 8 meals one was cold, two did not have the vegtables stated on the menu and one did not have the potatoes stated on the menu. When we complained the staff looked as though they could not be bothered. We then made the terrible mistake of trying to get a dessert. We were told there was only one dessert available and when we asked for it the waitress made an offensive gesture at us. We walked out at that point. We did try to see the manager but where told on 4 differnat occasions he was not available. We have also tried emailing but our mail gets returned. You have been warned.
This hotel is hell on Earth
When I first walked into the hotel I thought I was going to have a nice stay. The lobby upon first inspection looked clean and had reasonably nice furnishings. Furthermore, there is a church in the courtyard of the hotel that adds a nice touch. However, looks can be deceiving. The standard of service I received at this hotel was horrible. It seemed as if each member of the staff took a passion in making each and every guests stay a miserable experience that they would never forget. In addition the rooms provided an amazingly accurate insight into monastic living. The rooms were cold and small. There is no carpeting in any of the rooms, and though they claim to have air conditioning in every room, there are only three temperatures from which you can choose. Furthermore, the tiles in the bathroom were black and moldy and the shower was so clogged that no water could drain from it.
The uncomfortable accommodations could have been overlooked somewhat if the staff were a bit friendlier, but as I said earlier they weren't. Avoid this hotel at all costs. I very well could ruin your stay in Rome.
Great for tour group
Stayed at the Domus Pacis in early April, 2004 with a group of about 47 (27 middle/high school students and 20 adults). The rooms were clean and well maintained. TV was nice. Yes, the rooms are dormitory style, but the setting is beautiful. The lobby is very nice, small bar and low priced gift shop. The telephones were hard to use to call from room to room, but I purchased a calling card from a tobacco shop and had no trouble (nor charges from the hotel) using it from the pay phone in the lobby and/or my hotel room. If you are looking for a romantic spot for a couple this isn't the hotel for you. But, it was perfect for us. The desk staff was the nicest of the 4 hotels we stayed in in Italy. The location is not good for walking. We did walk to a local restaurant, but it was scary because the cars/buses came so close. Enjoy Italy--especially the differences. We had a great time!
Nice old Chapel
Well, don't even think of walking to it from the train station. Pavements disappear, signs stop, and theres one almighty road to cross half way through the park.
A taxi costs about 15 euros from the station. There is nothing close by to this hotel, apart from a bus stop and a restaurant across the road. This restaurant is good, and we had a great meal there.
The rooms back at the hotel are sparse. If you've stopped at an Ibis, you'll have the idea. When you see 3 stars against a hotel you would expect more than this. They probably get them for the conference facilities, and the pretty chapel in the grounds.
Shame really because it looks nice as you walk up the drive to the reception. Thankfully we only had it as a 1 night stop over.
It's miles from Rome centre, theres nothing to do, and the rooms are miserable.
Still we had a walk through the park on the way that was nice, well nice until we had to play frogger across the road!!
Cold and efficient
the hotel is set in beautiful grounds but the room which we were allocated was dark and cold. We found the staff coldly efficient. The hotel was spotlessly clean but the staff could do with customer care lessons a smile costs nothing. Have a nice day!!!!
Good hotel.
Very nice hotel set in stunning gardens. Quite far from attractions but a bus runs right outside the hotel which takes you wherever you want to go. Rooms were basic but CLEAN. There was no sign of any insects during our stay there. Staff were all attentive, helpful and spoke good English. Hotel seemed very clean throughout. TV supplied in room with channels including MTV. No complaints about this hotel.
The Biggest Dumped I've Ever Stayed In!!
This hotel is very far from any attractions. First off, the hotel looks VERY nice from the front. The lobby was well-suited, the attendants were dressed ver nicely. Once you step out of the lobby area, you enter a bug infested realm of dormitory style "hotel" rooms. Let me just tell you that this is literally a half a step up from a hostel, only difference being that you get your own bathroom. There were no elevators, so if you have luggage prepare to throw your back out, the floors are all tile - very cold. Might I add that all the tiles were filthy. Not only this, we asked to switch our room out b/c the security chain was broken, when they took us to the next room is was just as bad. They had zero instructions on how to dial out on the telephone, there was also no direct access on the telephone to the front desk or reception. This place is crawling with teens, making out in the lobby, and in the garden. If you're into dirt, inconvenience, rudeness, bugs, and zero amenities, I highly recommend the Hotel Domus Pacis.
Pretty good!
Rooms are located in blocks named after saints away from the entrance block/restaurants. Rooms were spotlessly clean and supplied with television showing local channels and Eurosport. Power points were available.
Bathroom came with bidet, although the shower cubicle was very small.
There was an abundance of towels and toiletries were supplied.
There is a shop in the main lobby, although its opening hours seemed to be restricted to evenings. Unfortunately on the 2nd and 3rd day of our visit the bar was closed due a conference. Breakfast was nothing to write home about but was adequate.
Hotel staff were delightful, with one of the receptionists speaking good English which meant we could revert to our native language if our Italian failed us (it frequently did).
Although the hotel is situated some way away from Vatican city, taxis were readily available (although watch it if Lazio/Roma are at home) and if you are part of a group you're nearly better to get a taxi to take you to the Vatican rather than risk walking the roads.
Altogether a very enjoyable stay further helped by the fine weather (late 60's, low 70's at the start of November).
Beware of the mosquitoes
The vents are completed infested with mosquitoes. We checked out two rooms in different buildings, both were full of the little buggers. The front desk tried to give us some insecticides and mosquito lights, but we wouldn't have it.
I would pass on this one
Just got back from Italy and thought I would share my thoughts on this hotel. The room was essentially a dorm room . When we drove up to the hotel we thought "Looks nice" but when we got to the room it was a little disappointing. It did have a minifridge and a safe in the room .
It was clean except the bathroom grout in between the tiles was black .
That bothered me a bit. The location is not ideal. It is on a busy (hard to find I might add) street dangerous to walk on since parts of it do not have a sidewalk. The staff at the front desk was not helpful at all. When I asked about the saturna spa, they supposedly have an affiliation with, they knew nothing. They said I would have to go down the street to find out. Also , did not give us any info on the services the hotel offers and nothing is provided in the room either. Overall they did not make me feel welcome. I would not reserve a room here again. A suggestion, stay at Hotel Aberdeen near the train station.
Stayed there the first part of the trip and would deffinately stay there again. (you can walk to everywhere from there).

Holding on and letting go
The title The Geography of Memory gives no hint of the rich content in this volume, and the subtitle A Pilgrimage Through Alzheimer's is downright scary. Been there (both my parents had Alzheimer's), done that (I was in charge of their care for seven challenging years), did not get the T-shirt (is there one?).
Still, I was eager to read Jeanne Murray Walker's account of her mother's last years. Though the aging-parent memoir has become a crowded genre now that most boomers' parents are over 80, I suspected that Walker—a published poet, the author of plays that have actually seen footlights, and a professor of English at the University of Delaware—would see senescence through a fresh lens. I was not disappointed.

A briefing of people, issues and events around the country
Colorado theater shooting suspect may plead insanity
CENTENNIAL, Colo. -- Lawyers for Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes for the first time confirmed they are considering entering a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity on behalf of their client.
But they said in a motion made public Friday that Holmes shouldn't have to enter a plea until the judge rules on whether Colorado's insanity law is unconstitutional.
They said the law is unfair to defendants who invoke it because it requires the disclosure of potentially incriminating mental health records, while those who simply plead not guilty are not required to turn over evidence.
The 25-year-old Holmes is charged with going on a rampage in July at a suburban Denver movie theater that killed 12 people and injured 70. Holmes is scheduled to enter a plea March 12.
Judge freezes disputed Indiana lottery jackpot
INDIANAPOLIS -- An Indiana judge barred the state lottery commission from awarding a $9.5 million lottery prize Friday pending a decision on whether the jackpot should be given to a hairstylist or shared between her and her colleagues.
Seven stylists at Lou's Creative Styles in Indianapolis say the winning Hoosier Lotto ticket for the Feb. 16 drawing was part of an office lottery pool. Christina Shaw insists she bought the ticket for herself, not the pool.
Marion Superior Court Judge Heather Welch issued a preliminary injunction to stall payment of the jackpot until the legal battle has been resolved.
The hairstylists who brought the lawsuit testified Wednesday that they had all agreed to share any winnings from tickets purchased at the same time as those for an office pool.
A court document states Shaw knew the rules because they were regularly discussed in the salon.
Autopsy reveals little about lottery winner death
CHICAGO -- An autopsy on the exhumed body of a Chicago lottery winner poisoned with cyanide yielded no significant new clues about his death, the Cook County medical examiner said Friday.
No remaining cyanide was found in samples of Urooj Khan's body tissue, likely because cyanide breaks down over time, and there was nothing notable from tests on his stomach contents, Stephen Cina told reporters.
Cina did say Khan's coronary arteries had significant blockage, which could have increased the effectiveness of the cyanide.
But he said there was nothing to make him think a heart attack killed Khan, saying, "I don't see how I can ignore lethal cyanide level in the blood."
Authorities have not publicly identified anyone as a suspect in Khan's July 20 death, which happened just days before the 46-year-old was to collect $425,000 in lottery winnings.
Governor denies parole to ex-Manson follower
LOS ANGELES -- Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday reversed a parole board and denied the release of a former Charles Manson follower who has served more than 40 years in prison.
The board had recently approved the release of 70-year-old Bruce Davis but left the final decision to the governor.
Brown gave his decision to the Associated Press at the downtown Los Angeles County courthouse after a meeting with District Attorney Jackie Lacey, who had recommended that Davis not be paroled.
"I find the evidence ... shows why he currently poses a danger to society if released from prison. Therefore, I reverse the decision to parole Mr. Davis," the written decision said.
Davis would have been only the second Manson-related murder defendant to be granted parole since the killing spree began in 1969.
Davis was not involved in the notorious Sharon Tate-LaBianca killings but was convicted with Manson and others in the murders of a musician and a stuntman.
'One Day at a Time' star Franklin dies at age 69
NEW YORK -- Bonnie Franklin, the pert, redheaded actress who won fame as a divorced mom on the long-running sitcom "One Day at a Time," has died.
Family members said she died Friday due to complications from pancreatic cancer. She was 69.
Her family had announced she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September 2012.
Though she already had stage and TV credits, "One Day at a Time" made her a star with its premiere in 1975. She played a divorced single mother raising two teenage girls, co-stars Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips.
The series ran on CBS for nine seasons, spending most of them as a Top 20 hit.
One of nation's oldest teachers retires at 94
LOS ANGELES -- Rose Gilbert wanted to be a schoolteacher since she was in the first grade and was inspired by the teacher who taught her to read and write.
Gilbert carried out that childhood dream with a rare commitment -- she retired last week at the age of 94 after a 63-year teaching career in the Los Angeles Unified School District. "I'm going to be 95. I looked in the mirror and said, 'I better do it now before I get too old,'" she joked. "I didn't want to leave, but I didn't want to be carried out on a stretcher."
It's unclear if Gilbert is the oldest full-time classroom teacher among the nation's teaching corps of more than 3 million, but she certainly ranks among the most senior.

Sports have always played an important part of Kristy Langton Schlimgen's life. From the time she was a little girl until now, she has played everything from softball to volleyball to basketball. She was a key part of the girls' basketball team and the volleyball team while in high school at Stevensville. After graduation in 1990, she went on to play basketball for the University of Montana Lady Griz and earned numerous honors.
Schlimgen says it was coach Robin Selvig who really helped to shape her life and bring her out of her shell. She played with Shannon Cate Schweyen and Trish Duce Olsen who are both assistant coaches to Selvig. So, on Tuesday night, when she stepped onto the court at the Adams Center wearing the black and white strips of a referee, she had a lot of mixed emotions.
"It was very familiar to hear him (Selvig) chipping at his players," she said. "They are all my friends but I had a job to do."
Schlimgen is now a Big Sky referee. After nine years of wearing the insignia of MOA (Montana Officials' Association) on her shirt, she is now refereeing women's basketball in the Big Sky Conference.
Each step of her sporting career has brought her to this point. As a player, she learned the game from the inside. She also learned from the best as well as learned about a world beyond the Bitterroot. After playing, she went on to coach at the high school level.
"That gave me an appreciation for coaching and how they are the ultimate motivators," she said.
She coached until just after the birth of her second son. Schlimgen said coaching took too much away from her family and decided to quit. But she missed the competition and the gym. Someone suggested she become a referee. Her initial thought was "but I hate referees" she said with a laugh. But with the support of her husband, Brent, she took on the task of refereeing volleyball and soon after that basketball.
Schlimgen said, "When I decided to pursue this, it was a sacrifice. But he was okay with that. And he loved being with the boys."
After officiating basketball games from church leagues to junior high, she started doing high school games. She worked games from Class C schools to the AA schools. Two years ago she started working the Frontier Conference games and also Division II for schools such as MSU Billings and other schools in the Greater Northwest Athletic Conference.
Five years ago, she decided to try to become a Big Sky ref. This involved going to camps where she would be required to ref three and four games a day for five days with every move being scrutinized.
"It's very intense there. They throw everything they can at you," she said.
The clinics are held in conjunction with team camps or AAU tournaments so the players are some of the best around. When not working a game, the camp attendees are pouring over film, and breaking apart every play from a referee's point of view.
"This is a business," said Schlimgen. "It's a higher level of training, looking for the little things. It's a game of angles and you have to learn all of that to make it to this level."
She went to the camp for three years and felt she was getting to the level she needed to be at. But then her sister got ill and she opted to stay home to care for her.
On April 20, 2011, her husband, Brent, unexpectedly died. Her partner, friend and biggest supporter was gone. She said the grief she felt was so huge she didn't know how she would get through it. "But it's like a snow bank, you just have to plow through it."
The physical nature of refereeing helped with the grief, as did the camaraderie of her fellow refs. A year ago, her parents, Brian and Karen Langton, moved in with her to help care for her sons, Drew and Luke.
"I couldn't leave them at home with a sitter to go and ref but with mom and dad there, that's allowed me to get back to refing."
This last summer, she decided to try again and went back to camp to become a Big Sky ref. There is one person, Marla Denim, that makes all of the assignments for the Big Sky women's' games. Imagine Schlimgen's surprise when a waiter handed her a hand written note during the keynote speaker's speech on Saturday night of camp. The note told her she had been selected 'if she went up and interrupted the speaker, took the mic and announced she had been selected.' At first, she thought it was a joke, but then she thought, what if it isn't?
The painfully shy teenager couldn't have done it and probably neither could the Lady Griz player. But those experiences, along with everything else, propelled her to the podium where she announced to the 125 other potential refs that she had been selected.
Now it's a challenge for her again. She studies casebooks and rulebooks all the time, trying to prepare for an infinite number of situations. Although she is a teacher at Corvallis Middle School, she won't miss any school this year. All of the games she's been assigned to are on Saturday nights. She can fly out on Friday after school and be back Sunday. Grandma and Grandpa will keep track of her boys while she's on the road.
The only close Big Sky game she had this year was last Tuesday at the University of Montana. Her parents, sons, and sister were there watching, just as they (well everyone but the boys) had when she played. It was a proud moment for them but also bittersweet for Schlimgen. "This is where Brent and I spent our senior year as husband and wife. He would have been so proud. He was so supportive."

Northshore veteran retraces his steps on D-Day battlefield
by Bronwyn Wilson
Senior Staff Reporter
In pitch-black darkness, thousands of paratroopers spilled out of planes and glided toward hostile territory. Many of the airborne men were miles from their drop zones. They landed in fields, backyards or on rooftops. Some drowned trying to free themselves from marshy swamps, weighted down with weapons and ammunition. Others were shot while entangled in the limbs of trees. It was sometime after midnight, June 6, 1944. D-Day had arrived.
"Everyone knew exactly what we were supposed to do," recalls Bob Matthews, who was a 25-year old first lieutenant at the time. He and his battalion were dropped out of a C-47 over Normandy at 1:30 in the morning. Matthews doesn't have any memory of floating toward the ground. "When I jumped out of the airplane, the opening shock [of the parachute] knocked me out," he says. "I have no memories coming down." What he does remember is hearing gunfire upon landing. "My thought was to get as fast as I could into the trees."
His second thought was to gather his men together and move up to where the shooting was. "I could hear Germans shooting anti-aircraft weapons at airplanes in the sky," he says.
Then it was silent. "Battlefields are some of the quietest places because nobody wants to move or make any noise."
Having worked his way into the woods, Matthews took out a government-issued device called a cricket. He clicked it once. Click. One of his sergeants responded to his signal and clicked back. Click-click. "It took me awhile to gather some men together and get my guns," Matthews remembers.
Now a retired colonel who is Green Beret qualified, Matthews thinks back to that clear warm day years ago.
He remembers the "workmanlike" mood among his comrades as their plane left Britain and headed toward Normandy. He recalls spending the day in fire fights with about 30 other men. A cafe also comes to mind. It stood prominently in the line of fire, between him and the Germans.
His thoughts drift back to the time after that first day when he finally managed to get back with his own men.
"The battalion had gotten such a bad drop. We had a very bad drop," he explains. His next order was to find and identify dead bodies. One of the first bodies he found was one of his own men, a cannoneer.
"In July they sent us back to England. We had lost 40 percent of our men and some of our guns. We went back to get ready for our next operation which was in Holland."
Today, Bob Matthews is an active participant in the community. He sings in two Welsh choirs, moderates the Rose Memorial Garden Club and sits on the board of directors for the Northshore Senior Center. But even though his life is full, the memories of D-Day never leave him.
Last spring, the Alumni Association of the University of Washington scheduled a trip to Normandy. "I hadn't been back there in 57 years and I was curious and I wanted to go back," he says.
And he wanted to deal with his memories by retracing his steps, plus visiting the 35 graves (out of 80 killed) in his battalion who died there.
He flew to Paris, along with the alumni tour group, and stayed at Lesieux. His group rode a bus each day to see the sights: Mont St. Michel, Rouen and Caen.
"We visited Monet's farm," he says, holding up a photograph showing Monet's mirror-like pond full of lilies with a huge weeping willow draped over it.
"It was the most spectacular pond I've ever seen in my life." In addition, his tour group visited a cheese factory and a distillery. "And we also visited the Normandy beach area."
Matthews wanted to see Omaha Beach and visit the bluff that overlooks it, Pointe du Hoc. The bluff is maintained just as it was at the end of the war.
Concrete bunkers remain in a destroyed condition with shell holes and bomb craters.
"I had a free day at the end of the tour and here's where the coincidence comes in," says Matthews. He explains that his friend, John Hughes, had hosted a French exchange student years ago. Last May, Hughes traveled to France to visit his former guest, Yves Mosse.
Hughes mentioned to Mosse that Matthews planned a trip to Normandy.
Since Mosse had already scheduled a vacation at the time of Matthews' visit, he realized he wouldn't be able to meet him. But he could arrange to have a car and driver take Matthews around on a private tour.
And that is what he did. Says Matthews, "On the last day I was picked up at the Hotel at Lesieux and taken to the place where I landed on D-Day. That was right by a little town called Le Ham. That town was miles away from where I should have landed. There I started to try to find my way around my memories."
Matthews attempted to retrace the steps he took on D-Day. But it wasn't an easy thing to do.
The countryside had changed so remarkably," he says.
He explained that some of the farms are gone, and the trees have grown considerably since he was there. The railroad station had been torn down, with a recycling facility in its place.
But he was able to locate three places: the spot where the Germans shot at him.
"Five of them shot at me and all five missed me"; the cafe, which now towers two-stories high ; and the place where he had found his cannoneer.
His driver also took him to the American cemetery which is blanketed by thousands of white crosses. Only nine out of the 35 graves he had hoped to find still remained in the cemetery.
All the others had been moved to burial places in their respective hometowns.
Matthews did locate the grave of Pfc. Samuel Dereta from Pennsylvania. "He was the first of my men that was killed."
Of the men who fought on D-Day, he says, "They all knew what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. I had a great deal of respect for all of them."
After leaving the cemetery, Matthews wanted to take his driver to lunch. They cruised over to the Omaha Beach Golf Course, a 27-hole course above Omaha Beach.
It struck Matthews as odd that a tourist attraction with beautiful grounds and elegant dining would be built above the beach once known as "Bloody Omaha."
Veterans Day, Nov. 11, honors the men who fought on the beaches and countryside of Normandy in June 1944, as well as every war veteran who served America, ensuring continued freedom for all Americans.

Q: I have two adorable Pugs, each 11 months old. We take them everywhere, from bark parks to Grandma's house. What's the safest way to travel with them in the car? They're a bit too active to be loose in the car. In the crate, Mabel whines. She's accustomed to sitting on my lap in the front seat. My mom says the crate isn't safe and we should be using a harness. What's your professional opinion? – D.K., Chicago
A: Of course, all Pugs are adorable. We need not even discuss that. However, "Driving with your dog on your lap is an accident waiting to happen. A Pug could turn into a projectile," says Sandy Robins, a pet lifestyle consultant, based in Irvine, Calif. "In some places, it's against the law (for dogs to sit in laps in the front seat), and I believe for good reason."
Robins says that your best bet would be booster seats made for dogs.
"Your dogs will be safe and because they're elevated, and the dogs can see out the windows." Many companies make these seats, which are commonly available at large pet stores. Two excellent options are Solvit Products (www.solvitproducts.com) and Kurgo (www.kurgostore.com). Other ideas: a safety harness, zip line (attaching your dog to the back seat), or a front seat barrier (which prevents the dog from reaching the front seat), all available online and at many pet stores.
Robins, a mom herself, says, "Listen to your mother."

Jai: How do you stop a dog from "crying" when crate training it?
Rottweiler, 10 weeks, been crate training for 3 weeks, always cries/ whines/ barks when placed in cage as if being punished. Tried shorter amounts of time, remaining in the area while she is in it, feeding her in/ out of the crate, but she still cries. She also chews her urine training pad into a million peices overnight!!! The only time she is hyper or misbehaves is in the crate.

let her out!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer by Manny M
good grief! Crates are supposed to be a safe haven for dogs.. If he is crying all of the time, it is not a safe haven, but a torture chamber..then you will wonder why he 'snaps' and attacks you one day..He will be remembering the hell you put him though as a frightened baby..
Get a good book on basic pup training, and throw the darn crate away...
Answer by lillyynn
Okay , first of all I don't think crate training works for every dog. I tried to crate train mine but then he found an easy solution to get out of the crate: peeing inside the crate!
If your puppy is still crying, whining inside the crate after 3 weeks, then he does not want to be in the crate, buy a pet playpen and cover it w pee pee pads, put some toys,food and water inside! That worked perfectly for mine. I bought mine from target.com
All dogs chew on the pee pee pad, it is not a big deal. Why do u even try to paper train a rottweiler? He is going to be a big dog and why would u want such a big dog doing his business in the pee pee pad? Start housetraining him by taking him outside.
Answer by tjb
The first few days of crate training can be hard on you and the pup. The best thing for you to do is, put her in the crate and go to Wal-Mart or something. I promise after a few days, she will learn to love her crate. Dogs are den animals and she will consider this crate her private place. In time you will see her sneaking off to her crate when she wants to be alone, whether for a nap or for night night!! If you have friends or children over and she isn't exactly fond of them, she will go get in HER bedroom!!! Crate training is also wonderful for traveling. It keeps them safe in a car or plane, and if you are going to see Aunt crabby who doesn't like dogs, she can rest at ease!! Contrary to Carole Anne's answer, it is not cruel, it is absolutely the best way to housebreak, and if you teach them confinement you will always be able to confine them if you have too, like on air planes or Motels, who will let you have your pet if it is confined without bothering the other guests. Oh, and don't use piddle pads or any other pads. All your doing with these things are teaching her that is is OK to pee in the crate or worse in the house, which is what your trying to teach her not to do. You are defeating the whole purpose! Throw them away!!! Good luck!

Gyalwang Karmapa Gives Two Short Teachings: The Sutra in Three Sections and King of Aspirations: The Noble Aspiration for Excellent Conduct
29 December 2014 Monlam Pavilion, Bodhgaya,
The Sutra in Three Sections
During the first session His Holiness gave a short teaching on this prayer, before it was recited as part of the thirteenth section–Confession of Wrongdoing–of the Twenty Branch Monlam. This prayer is used particularly for confession and purification following transgressions against vows, especially downfalls of the bodhisattva vow. There is a story which tells how a group of monks, thirty-five in all, killed a child by accident one day, when they were on their alms round. In their horror at taking a life, they went to one of the Buddha's close disciples, Upali, and asked him to ask the Buddha for a method to confess and purify the deed. The Buddha responded by speaking this sutra. As he did so, light radiated from his body and Read the rest of this article

Amarillo police have arrested a woman in a Tuesday night stabbing at an eastside residence.
Lauren Danielle Mandez, 26, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of aggravated assault with deadly weapon-family violence after police responded to a domestic dispute in the 2600 block of Spring Street, police said. When they arrived at 9:17 p.m., officers found a male victim suffering from a stab wound to the left side of his chest, but his injury was not life-threatening.
Investigators determined the man had been in a domestic squabble with a woman who pulled out a knife during an argument and stabbed him, authorities said.
Officers also located a knife they said they believe was used in the stabbing in a nearby apartment, police said. Mandez was booked into the Potter County jail and the man was booked into the Randall County jail on an outstanding warrant, police said.

What sibling rivalry?
Though it's been a rough journey for Dr. Jennifer Arnold and Bill Klein of TLC's hit reality show The Little Couple after her cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment, one thing they didn't have to stress about was how their son, Will, 3, would take to his newly adopted sister, Zoey, 2.
"Will is an awesome big brother," Arnold, whose cancer is now in remission, tells PEOPLE. "He's unbelievable. He has this amazing, happy personality, and he's shown her how to play with the iPhone, which she loves."
Since bringing Zoey home in October, Will has taken his new job as big brother very seriously, pushing his sister around on riding toys and sharing his things with her.
"We are so lucky that Will is who he is," says Klein. "I've never met a kid like that, and we're lucky that he's ours."
Arnold, 39, who is a neonatologist at Texas Children's Hospital, and Klein, 39, a business owner who runs their Houston-based pet store Rocky & Maggie's Petshop, have a form of skeletal dysplasia, as do both Will and Zoey.
"I can hope the world is a slightly better place than it was for us," Arnold says, "and that it is better for them."
The new season of TLC's The Little Couple premieres Tuesday, March 4, at 10 p.m.
For much more on Arnold and Klein's past few months, including more exclusive photos of Zoey, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

NILES - Following the team's 40-point loss at Howland last Friday, coach Ron Price and the Niles Red Dragons looked to bounce back against Liberty, and despite struggling early, they accomplished their mission.
The Red Dragons came back from a six-point deficit midway in the third quarter to beat Liberty at home, 56-53.
"That (loss to Howland) was our worst game," Price said. "We've been competitive all year, and it kind of carried over a little bit tonight. I didn't think we played particularly well.
"I'm glad that we fought through a game where I don't think either team played particularly well."
Niles (7-4) struggled early from the beyond the arc, which allowed the Leopards (5-5) to lead for most of the game.
The Red Dragons went 2 of 15 on 3-point field goals in the first half but trailed by only five points going into halftime. Niles came out firing again in the second half, draining two 3s within the first minute and a half.
In the second half, the Red Dragons recorded five 3s, including two by Ray Russ on the team's first two possessions in the fourth quarter, giving Niles its first lead of the game.
"(The 3-point shooting) was very big because coach always tells us we're not a solid 3-point shooting team - we're streaky," said junior Justin Lopes, who recorded two of his three 3's in the second half. "We can come out and hit some 3s when we need them."
To go along with the better percentage from beyond the arc, Niles changed its defensive tactics, and it paid off, with the Red Dragons going on a 12-0 run in a 4-minute span at the end of the third and beginning of the fourth quarter.
The Red Dragons deployed a full-court press, and that pressure bothered the Leopards. Liberty committed five turnovers in that span - the same number of shots the team attempted.
"At the end of the third and beginning of the fourth, we didn't score for a long time, and that was just a killer," Liberty coach Dan Bubon said. "We were still playing decent defense. They made a few baskets, but we just made none."
Despite going down seven after the run, the Leopards clawed back into the game, pulling to within two points with less than 30 seconds remaining in the game, but Liberty couldn't make a basket to tie things up.
For Bubon, he said he rued the missed opportunities, including early in the game with Niles struggling from the field.
Darrien Underwood came firing out the gates, scoring 10 points in the game's first 10 minutes, but he picked up his third foul at the 5:42 mark in the second quarter and had to come off the floor.
"When you play games like this, you go through all the little things - the could have, would have, should have," Bubon said. "That's tough when you get a kid in foul trouble... We need him, but if he gets his fourth in the first half, that's really a killer.
"We got through ok without him. We were still up at half, but it took scoring away."
As for Niles, Lopes echoed his coach, saying that the team didn't play its best game but managed to get the win it wanted.
"In warmups, we were all pumped and stuff to come out hot, and we came out real sluggish," Lopes said. "We played sluggish the whole game, but we battled through it. it was a good win."

Welfare states can be studied from a number of theoretical and methodological approaches, with various chronological perspectives and with a focus on different empirical phenomena. The aim of the summer school is to stimulate discussions across disciplines and thereby foster innovative cross-disciplinary research on the development of welfare states over time. To this purpose the Summer School bring together Ph.D. students and well-established scholars in scientific exchanges.
We invite Ph.D. students from different disciplinary backgrounds both within and outside the Nordic countries to participate in discussing the development of the welfare states, their preconditions, present status and how we ought to study them. Ph.D. Students present their papers in parallel sessions and get feedback from senior scholars and junior colleagues.
We welcome paper proposals by Ph.D. students on the themes of the thematic sessions as well as on welfare policies and welfare states more generally. Papers are selected on basis of their quality. Papers can be written from a broad historical or contemporary perspective and from disciplines such as history, social policy, sociology, political science, and political philosophy.
Participants who complete the summer school successfully are credited with 6 ECTS credits.

ALLEN PARK -- Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew made it clear he didn't feel there were 10 elite prospects in this draft class, expressing a willingness to trade up to get one if the value was right.
A reasonable offer never came across Mayhew's plate. Instead, he waited patiently as one of those talents he viewed as elite, North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron, fell into the team's lap at pick No. 10.
"He's one of the guys I was talking about," Mayhew said. "He's a difference maker. I think you'll see that when he starts playing. This guy is a playmaker. He's a matchup nightmare as a tight end."
Mayhew wouldn't offer specifics about where Ebron figured into the Lions' draft board, but did acknowledge the athletic tight end was second on offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi's wish list, behind only Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins.
"Joe was really excited about this player," Mayhew said. "He was probably his No. 2 guy in the entire draft."
Lombardi views Ebron as the type of player who will keep opposing defenses guessing.
"That just adds a whole new element to your offense, a tight end that can run like that," Lombardi said. "He's going to line up all over the place. You're going to have to find him. That's one of our goals is to not be predictable for defenses."
Coach Jim Caldwell elaborated on the mismatches Ebron's skill set can create.
"He's a 250-pound guy that can run extremely well," Ebron. "What it forces a defense to do is make a determination on how you want to play him.
"How are you going to treat him?" Caldwell continued. "Are you going to treat him like a tight end and leave a linebacker in the game, which creates a mismatch in terms of the passing game? Or are you going to put a smaller defender in, which creates some problems in terms of him being able to leverage that particular player?"

My mom was always doing fun craft things while I was growing up. She taught me to crochet, cross stitch, and sew.
Now, I get to teach my own daughters the same love of crafts!
By popular demand...Kids size crocodile stitch boots are here! Now, you can make these wonderfully warm boots for the whole family!
**If you are not familiar with working the crocodile stitch, I highly recommend watching one of the video tutorials on You-Tube! I have combined two of these techniques in my pattern, and included a mini picture tutorial in the pattern for visual assistance.**
Small: 5.5" sole (Toddler)
Medium: 6" sole (Child)
Large: 7" sole (Youth)
Gauge can be adjusted for a wider range of sizes by using different sized hooks, and different weights of yarn. This pattern works up beautifully in Caron Simply Soft!

The fracturing of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina has left two distinct camps of local Anglicans and a number of parishioners caught straddling the gap, unsure of what it all means and what they should do, according to church officials.
New Archbishop of Canterbury
Bishop Justin Welby of Durham, England, on Friday was appointed the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury. He replaces Rowan Williamson, who will return to academia at Cambridge University.Welby has a background in business and finance. He is associated with the evangelical wing of the Church of England and has stated his opposition to gay marriage while acknowledging the need for dialogue with the LGBT community as well as self-reflection, according to news reports.The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, said in a statement that she was delighted with the choice.He brings knowledge of the immense challenges of the world in which the Anglican Communion seeks to partner in the service of Gods mission to heal and reconcile. He has experience of churches in several parts of the Communion, which should serve him well.She also alluded to the current schism within Anglican Communion over theological issues such as same-sex unions and the ordination of gay bishops.I know his gifts of reconciliation and discernment will be abundantly tested, she said. May God bless his ministry, shelter his family, and bring comfort in the midst of difficult and lonely discernment and decisions.Adam Parker
Both sides are holding separate meetings this week to plan courses of action.
The breakaway Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of South Carolina, now an independent, unaffiliated church body led by the Rt. Rev. Mark Lawrence, announced it was holding a Special Convention at St. Philips Church on Saturday to determine the next steps and amend its governing documents.
Though we are already outside of TEC (the Episcopal Church), our Constitution and Canons both contain multiple references to those of TEC, officials explained in a statement. Ours must now be amended to bring them into agreement with the present legal reality. Those changes can only be made by a Diocesan Convention.
Meanwhile, those who remain part of The Episcopal Church have set up a steering committee that will begin the task of reconstituting a diocesan administration. Eventually, a new bishop will be elected and a standing committee formed.
An open letter from this steering committee to local Episcopalians was published in todays newspaper:
We write to assure you that The Episcopal Church in the Diocese of South Carolina is continuing. While we watch with great sadness the efforts by some to separate from The Episcopal Church, our Diocese is reorganizing with renewed dedication to carry forward the work of our Lord Jesus Christ, just as prior generations have done since 1789. We have much to do and many challenges to meet, but we are confident that by moving forward together in unity and faith, with Gods help, we will flourish.
The just-formed steering committee will act temporarily as an ecclesiastical authority, communicating with Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, according to the letter.
At our next Diocesan Convention, now set for March 8, 2013, delegates will begin the work of selecting a bishop, a new standing committee, and forging ahead with our missions and ministry, the open letter states.
The steering committee consists of 14 members from across the diocese, including five clergy. Two retired bishops living in the Lowcountry, the Rt. Rev. John Clark Buchanan and the Rt. Rev. Charles vonRosenberg, are acting as advisers.
The continuing diocese includes at least 12 parishes and mission churches, according to church officials: Grace, St. Stephens, Calvary, St. Marks, Holy Communion in downtown Charleston; St. Thomas in North Charleston; St. Georges and Epiphany in Summerville; Christ Church in Denmark; All Saints on Hilton Head; St. Stephens in North Myrtle Beach; and Holy Cross Faith Memorial on Pawleys Island.
The diocese split Oct. 15 when Lawrence was restricted from performing any ministerial duties after the Episcopal Churchs Disciplinary Board of Bishops found that he had abandoned his sworn duties to defend the constitution and canons of the church. That declaration triggered an automatic response by Lawrence and his administration that disassociated them from the church.
Church loyalists are holding a Diocesan Clergy Day on Thursday at St. Marks Episcopal Church downtown. VonRosenberg, a parishioner at Grace Church, was invited to perform the Eucharist. All clergy in the diocese, active and retired, were invited to attend the information session.
The breakaway diocese objected in strong terms to the Clergy Day plans, insisting in a press release earlier this week that the sender intentionally impersonated the diocese with an unauthorized use of our Diocesan seal and by stating that the sender was the Diocese of South Carolina. ... According to TEC, Bishop Lawrence is still the Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina even though TEC contends his ministry has been restricted (which is not recognized by this Diocese). Therefore, Bishop Von Rosenberg (sic) would have no authority to convene or preside at any meeting in this diocese and to do so would put him in violation of TECs canons. Whoever called such a meeting had no authority to do so or to use the Diocesan seal in any fashion. All of this is further evidence of the necessity for the precautions this diocese has taken during the past several years.
The clergy meeting was organized by the new steering committee, which was formed under the auspices of Jefferts Schori in the absence of a functioning diocesan administration, according to Neva Rae Fox, public affairs officer of the Episcopal Church. The steering committee will begin the process of re-establishing an administrative body in the continuing diocese, she said.
The breakaway diocese officials hotly contested the churchs actions.
Neither Bishop Lawrence nor the standing committee have been informed that they have been removed as the ecclesiastical authority, wrote Communications Director Joy Hunter in an email. Has that been done without our notification?
Fox said that Lawrence was indeed informed of his restricted status, and those associated with the new corporate entity called the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of South Carolina have left the church and, therefore, have neither ecclesiastical authority nor a right to dictate what those who remain in the church can do.
Disagreements over theology and authority have been simmering for many years, and local officials have been taking deliberate steps since Lawrences consecration in January 2008 to distance themselves from the Episcopal Church.
It is unclear what step they will take next, or under what authority they will function. They could affiliate with another church body in the U.S. or abroad, or proceed as an independent Anglican denomination.
What is clear is that the two sides do not see the situation through the same lens. Lawrence and his colleagues argue that it is the church that has abandoned them (and the rest of the Anglican Communion) by sacrificing the authority of Scripture to the whims of the secular world, and that the breakaway group is under attack by an autocratic presiding bishop.
The Episcopal Church has made an attack against our Bishop and Diocese, in the midst of efforts for a negotiated settlement, which has fundamentally changed our common life, wrote the Rev. Canon Dr. Kendall S. Harmon, canon theologian, in an Oct. 20 statement.
Those loyal to the church, instead, view Lawrence as the leader of a breakaway group unable to reconcile itself to an institution that strives to balance itself on the so-called Anglican three-legged stool of Scripture, tradition and reason.

Group to leave church
The breakup in the Episcopal diocese has led some members of one local parish, the Anglo-Catholic Church of the Holy Communion, to make a move of their own.Five families will follow the Rev. Patrick Allen, curate at Holy Communion, into the arms of the Roman Catholic Church.The Rev. Dow Sanderson, rector of Holy Communion, will remain part of the Episcopal Church, along with most of the congregation, and strive to be neutral as the drama plays out, he said.The fracture comes as no surprise; worshippers at this historic downtown parish at 218 Ashley Ave. have long preferred to uphold Catholic traditions.Holy Communion adheres to the Oxford Movements assertion that the Church of England (and other Anglican Church bodies) has been, and is now, an apostolic church, a direct descendant of St. Peters church, a true inheritor of the word of Christ.Protestantism, instead, holds that there is no one true church, that individuals have the authority to forge a personal relationship with Christ and dont really require the aid of an institution.The 19th-century Oxford Movement asserts that the doctrine of apostolic succession accommodates One True Church with three branches: Roman Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Anglicanism. Its ideas were promoted in a series of pamphlets called Tracts for the Times (1833-41).Allen said the process of becoming Catholic will take several months.I will continue to serve as curate at Holy Communion through the end of the year, he said. Of the families who are making this move, several adults are involved in ministry and leadership positions here, so they will serve out their terms.In January, Allen and the others will join the congregation at St. Mary Catholic Church on Hasell Street to worship. Allen said he hopes to be confirmed as a priest in the Catholic Church by late spring or early summer.At that point, we will begin having our own ordinariate (Catholic community of former Anglicans) and Mass, he said. The group will share St. Marys.More than a year ago, Holy Communion, as a parish, considered opting out of the Episcopal Church and joining the Catholic Diocese of Charleston, but that possibility faded, according to Allen, who addressed the matter in a Nov. 7 letter to the congregation.With the split in the Episcopal diocese, Allen saw a new opportunity to pursue his goal, though the controversies were not central to his decision, he wrote.Mine is a move forward to the Catholic Church, and I am nothing but grateful for my own years in the Episcopal Church and the Diocese of South Carolina, Allenwrote.
