My late brother, Keith Herbertson researched our mother's side of the family – the redoubtable Buglass. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to get these images to go into the correct order. (advice welcome) but to read them in order they are numbered.
Keith outlines the method used to trace records in 1990 but, perhaps of more human interest, we find that a great uncle fought in the Boer war with the Royal Scots Regiment* and another solid ancestor of a possibly more disreputable nature was a spirit dealer who essentially ran a pub on Elm Row. In 1990 this was called The Elm Bar but is now known as the Jeremiah's Tap Room.
For those whose eyes are failing, or who haven't worked out how to use zoom, the direct male line of descent went to my mother so:
Peter Buglass (c1820) (Northfield Parish near Coldingham)
John Buglass (c. 1851)
Frederic Towers Buglass (b. 22.18.1900)
Margaret Sandilands Buglass
*Gary Tait, a friend and expert in matters to do with the Royal Scots, passed on this piece of research:
On the 7th Feb, 1900, A and B Companies, 1st Battalion Royal Scots, together with about 200 locally recruited troops, were attacked by a detachment of Boer's at Bird River. They drove the Boer's back losing several men. A 19 year old drummer, Davies, won the DCM. If my great uncle got home in time to write a letter that evening he was quite likely to have been there.
Happily I'm in it along with several other Scottish authors whose work I enjoy and admire. The "Terror Tales" series is rapidly spanning the British Isles in disseminating horror and ghostliness in a broth of old and new tales based on the folklore of the region. Paul Finch puts wafers of legend, horrific happenings and terrifying tales in between the short stories, which are a times even more compelling than some of the stories themselves. The series even threatens to go beyond the isles, which is great news for lovers of the supernatural , the occult and those who like their bedtime reading inspirationally morbid.
Ian Hunter kicks of with "Skye's Skary Places" an excellent piece about the isle of Skye and a man's increasingly tenuous relationship with his partner. Helen Grant's "The Dove" continues the high standard set as it explores that awful moment under the shadow of the gallows. "Strone House" by Barbara Roden is a personal favourite. I've always had a penchant for the surreal aspects of automata; a nice story with its unexpected contrast: a mechanical world not generally associated with the grandeur of the highlands. "Face Down in the Earth" by Tom Johnstone is a personal reminder that Highlanders have very very long memories. "The Dreaming God Is Singing Where She Lies" by William Meikle is also excellently placed with it's one fault being that I would have liked another five pages of it.
Rosie Seymour's "The Housekeeper" has echoes of Pan Horror with a spicing of class. It's very short but for this kind of story, short is exactly right. "The Executioner" by Peter Bell reads at times like a climbing manual and in another author might have fallen flat on its face. In Bell's hands it becomes, for me at least, a form of poetry. An excellent story and perhaps my favourite in the anthology. "You Must Be Cold" by John Whitbourn is an intelligent and well crafted piece – not my preferred style of writing (too many brackets) but it's a subtle, unexpected and unusual tale. I haven't seen one like it before.
Sheila Hodgson's "The Fellow Travellers" began very well and continued for about two thirds of the story to be absolutely compelling. Maybe I am just simple minded but beyond that there seemed to be a proliferation of unnecessary characters. Might have to reread it to get the full flavour. "Shelleycoat" by Graeme Hurry was a decent short, good concept and interesting ending. "The Other House, the Other Voice" by yours truly deals with Crowley. You'll have to judge that one for yourself
"Myself / Thyself" by D.P. Watt comes quite close to being a classic and I can imagine it being reprinted. "Broken Spectres" by Carl Barker was conceptually very good and well written but didn't quite grab me; probably sounds silly in the context of the supernatural but it may have lacked a certain necessary plausibility – despite that misgiving, it was very good.
Gary Fry's "Jack Knife" as one might expect, is expertly written, enjoyable and leaves the reader with that oozy feeling of worse to come. Johnny Mains, no stranger to the world of Horror as an editor, has been quietly honing his other skills as a writer. "The Foul Mass at Tongue House" is a fine example of his development: an enjoyable tale.
"There You'll Be" by Carole Johnstone was a strange beast for me – an almost perfectly written plotted and paced tale which unfortunately did not hit the eerie button – maybe I'm just a darker soul.
Finally, wouldn't be right not to mention Paul Finch. I don't read much short fiction now as I prefer drier stuff. The highlight of the series is undoubtedly the snippets of legends and folklore which really ice the supernatural cake. The series is indubitably at the top end of the market and is frankly a must buy if you like that kind of thing.]]>
I'm not sure how to proceed. I've been delighted with the small success I've had in getting things published, not least the latest two – 'The Other House, the Other Voice' in 'Terror Tales of the Scottish Highlands' edited by Paul Finch and 'Envelopes' in Kitchen Sink Gothic' edited by David and Linden Riley. Here are people I have admired for years as writers and editors, liking and publishing my stories. The authors I'm in with – Gary Fry, William Meikle, Johnny Mains, Charles Black – to name just a few, are people who write and sell stories; people buy and read their stuff, people like me. This might sound trite and obvious but it's something I can't quite get used to.
I have currently one sequel to 'School: The Seventh Silence' which may be published in the next year. I have no plans for a sequel to 'The Death Tableau' which I still regard as my most accomplished work. I have many many ideas in my head for short stories but I suffer from a kind of writing malaise. This malaise could be the result of pursuing a career as a musician, which gives me little time for anything else. I don't know. In any case. Thanks for buying the books, for publishing my stories, for reading them.
'The title story is probably the highlight: a grand epic told in a few short chapters about a man trying to rescue his wife from Hell. Reminiscent of Machen's 'Great God Pan' in tone.'
'Overall, a satisfying read. A well written mix of the literary, the trashy and the darkly humorous. A fine addition to any horror lover's library.'
Any comparison to Machen brings out a large hurrah from me.
And another review from Matthew Baker of Shattered Ravings (love that blog title)
'The minute I laid eyes on the title, I knew I had to read this book. I didn't know what a 'heaven maker' was or why it might be gruesome, but the mystery of these questions drew me in. I'm very glad I gave this one a shot, too… author Craig Herbertson has a vivid imagination rife with brutal originality and terrifying concepts. If you're a fan of short horror fiction, put this book on your Must Own list.'
Must admit I put 'must own' in bold myself.
'Herbertson pulls the reader into each story from the beginning and then delivers a sucker punch when it is least expected.'
Is it entirely human to feel chuffed when people like what you write? Makes you think you've done something worthwhile.]]>
The Death Tableau
The Death Tableau is now available in paperback from black horse books. It's an extremely dark and horrific novel of a fearful journey into the occult. Took me years to write and longer to get it published but finally it's here. A word of warning. I started this book as a young man and I've mellowed a lot since. it is not a book that rests easy on the mind. it is in fact quite lacking in any hope for the characters involved – so if you're prone to depression or have a genuine fear of the dark places in the world go nowhere near it. You've been warned.
I had been submitting stories in the hope of publication since around the age of sixteen. Initially, the only publisher I knew of was Pan Horror, whose address was somewhere within the pages of their books. (There was no convenient internet) I began taking records of these submissions in on the 12th of July 1988. By this time I had expanded my horizons and was submitting everywhere, including the small press. I had given up on horror and my stories were predominantly SF. The horror phase was over for me because I had got older and had come to the conclusion that I simply couldn't write horror as no one would publish it.
I have no exact date for the submission of my novelette, 'The Heaven Maker' to the infamous Pan Horror anthologies but I was writing a sequel to it and vaguely thinking of a novel prior to University. This would be around 1981. I remember sitting in a flat in Jock's Lodge, Edinburgh staring at the typewriter and my typescript on which some iterant Canadian biker had continued my efforts ala Jack in 'The Shining'. Basically, he wrote that I was an idiot who would never get published.
At the time I thought he was right. But being an idiot I persevered. I was still submitting 'The Heaven Maker' in November 1990. What I hadn't realized was that at some time, either around 1980/81 or possibly 1982 in first year at Manchester University, I had sent this story and it had been stuck on a shelf by Herbert Van Thal or Clarence Paget, editors of Pan Horror. Paget decided to publish it in 1988, unfortunately omitting to inform me.
So, my long held ambition to become an author before I reached 30 had been realized but unfortunately I never knew. How much this influenced my life is difficult to say but when I discovered it, idly searching for my name on the internet around June 2000, I was at once amazed and profoundly depressed. The younger self would have been overjoyed that he had been published, the older man simply thought about the lost possibilities and the money. Pan MacMillan paid out 500 quid but they couldn't claw back the wasted years.
It is difficult to say what would have changed but what is certain is that I would never have taken up a job as a teacher; I would have had belief in my writing and would have continued to write.
All of this was lost. Instead I got the entirely false and cheap thrill of first publication for a short story in the small press in 1990 but this was not a professional magazine. Rejections slips flew at my like paper planes and the worst one was from Interzone, the only professional magazine in the UK. This letter arrived on the 11th November 1993. The sub editor accepted my story – it would have been the first professional acceptance to my knowledge – In the same letter a formal rejection slip said 'no'.
The result of this – screaming depression. I had tried everything in the armoury. Short stories were obviously not for me. I decided then, that my only chance to get published professionally, was to write a novel and, although the idea had been running in my head for years, that was when 'The Death Tableau' was begun.
It is now the 25th February 2015.
To give you an idea of how long it took to get this published take a look at the before and after pictures above- – when the idea was formulating in my brain and now today when finally after all these years I can say – here it is.
But it comes with a warning. The man who was writing was the young 'before'. It is quite, quite horrifying

With Teyana Taylor and CyHi Da Prynce, Kanye raps about taking his 'baby' to the mall for last-minute Christmas gifts.
Absent for quite some time from giving away new songs in Good Friday since the release of his new album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", Kanye West suffered from song leak this week. His new holiday tune called "Christmas in Harlem" hit the web in its unfinished version.
It features Kanye riding the gentle piano melody with Teyana Taylor and CyHi Da Prynce. "It's 40 below the windchill/ And we're wiping snow off the windshield/ But still, wonderful night to be alive, baby/And I'm so happy I'm with my baby," he raps in a playful holiday mood. "And we a lil late wit' the Christmas gifts/ Rushin' for the mall, don't trip, you know I drive crazy."
Soon after the leak, Kanye posted a short message on his Twitter. Instead of commenting on the unfinished track, he shared what to expect when it's officially released, "Just got Dipset verses for Christmas in Harlem! Eeeeevrybody on it!!!! Cam [ron], Vado, Jimmy, Pusha [T], Big Sean, Cyhi, Teyana Taylor & Musiq [Soulchild]."

Martin James Browning (born 1946) is Professor of Economics at the University of Oxford, Oxford, England, a Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford, a Fellow of the Econometric Society, and a Fellow of the European Economic Association.[1]
Browning received his undergraduate education at the London School of Economics and his doctorate from Tilburg University.[1]
He was previously the Director of the Center for Applied Microeconometrics at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Before the appointment at University of Copenhagen, he was a Professor at McMaster University, Canada.
His work is in microeconomic analysis, with emphasis in the empirical assessments of theoretical propositions. He has worked in the areas of intrahousehold decision making; demand analysis; consumption and saving, and its interaction with labor supply. An important part of his work concerns the empirical assessment of rationality through the concept of revealed preference, and the modeling of individual heterogeneity in applied work.

There's No Proof Marijuana Incites Crime or Violence
Violence with marijuana has only been driven by the profits from the illegal growing, distribution and sales of the drug.
You imply very strongly in your Jan. 3 editorial "Colorado's Pot Experiment" that this "experiment" of legalization depends on the results.
If you are so worried about results, consider these: Tens of thousands of Mexicans and South Americans have died due to our draconian drug laws that make hard drugs and marijuana illegal. Tobacco, which is legal, kills 440,000 people annually. Alcohol, another legal drug, kills another 88,000 yearly. Marijuana kills exactly nobody yearly. So why don't you go on a...

Marketing Sponsored by
The Old Spice brand from Procter & Gamble is taking a proactive approach to helping guys "scent responsibly" by enhancing its lineup of manly scented Body Sprays with the brand's new Re-fresh Technology, which eliminates the need for guys to overspray or reapply throughout the day. With new Old Spice Re-fresh Body Sprays, "One Spray Lasts All Day."
A recent survey conducted by Old Spice revealed the primary cause of overspraying is because guys think body spray scents fade too quickly, and the majority admit they were never taught how to apply it properly. By providing guys with the right grooming equipment for the job and the brand's "scent responsibly" educational call-to-action, the grooming brand is on a mission to end the overspraying epidemic once and for all.
Arriving in stores January 2014, new Old Spice Re-fresh Body Sprays contain a P&G proprietary Re-fresh Technology that features a patented cyclic molecule with an empty core that absorbs some fragrance as the body spray dries on the skin. As a guy sweats, fragrance is pushed out of the core releasing bursts of scent when a guy needs it the most.
"There's no denying that guys overspray, but there's also no denying that guys still need odor protection," said John Sebastian, Old Spice marketing director at Procter & Gamble. "We're not here to tell young guys not to use body spray; we're here to equip them with the right tools and help teach them how to scent responsibly. We think this combination will be a game-changer for the body spray category."
To better understand the root of the overspraying issue among guys in the U.S., Old Spice enlisted youth market research firm YPulse to survey more than 2,000 guys and girls (ages 13–25), as well as 1,000 moms of teenage boys across the country. The overspraying issue is real:
To illustrate its solution to the body spray dilemma, Old Spice developed an educational video showcasing the benefits of new Old Spice Re-fresh Technology and how to spray responsibly—in true Old Spice fashion. The Old Spice "Scent Responsibly" video will be featured on the brand's social channels and www.OldSpice.com. With its "Scent Responsibly" call-to-action, Old Spice further solidifies its brand purpose of helping young guys navigate the seas of manhood.
According to the Old Spice "Scent Responsibly" survey, the average age a guy starts using body spray is 13 years old. To complement the launch of its new lineup of Re-fresh Body Sprays and demonstrate the important role Old Spice plays in the male coming of age, the brand will roll out its new "Smellcome to Manhood" integrated marketing campaign, including a series of television spots that humorously depict how tough it is for moms to come to grips with the fact that Old Spice is "spraying a man on to their sons."
Developed with advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy (Portland), the new campaign features a choir of moms singing about the difficult time they are having accepting that their sons are growing up. In an over-the-top, humorous way, the moms blame Old Spice for the manly things that result when their sons use Old Spice Re-fresh Body Sprays. The TV campaign includes three spots: "Momsong" (:60); "Momsong" (:30); "Tree" (:15); and "Bowl" (:15).
The new Old Spice Re-fresh Body Sprays launch also will be supported by digital banner and rich media ads appearing across a number of sports, entertainment, humor and men's interest outlets to further bring the marketing creative's "Smellcome to Manhood" tagline to life. And Old Spice Re-fresh Body Sprays with Re-fresh Technology are available at mass market retailers, drug and grocery stores in a variety of scents.

Sicilian Fishermen

About the Book
"Piscaturi" - Sicilian fishermen
It in not a book, it's a journey into the fascinating and extremely visual fishermen life in sicily ... Ready to feel seasickness?
Small Square 18 x 18 high quality glossy paper .
"Without the sea i cannot live" Damiano Patania , Captain Jul 3, 2013 We are fishing tuna and swordfish, it's something like 4.00 am and we haven't really slept for the past 20 hours. An 18 mile filament of hooks and mackerel baits have been tossed into the deep sea practicing a ancient technique is called "conzo". Now we wait. Is it impossible to predict which fish will be fooled into the trap and how it will fight for its freedom. Yesterday we caught a mighty Tuna fish which stained the whole deck in dense blood, and even the lens of my camera. It didn't want to give up. The wooden planks of the deck shivered and cracked under the powerful strokes of the tuna's tail. The fish would not stop fidgeting and struggling till its heart was taken out and even then, that small beating muscle, kept pulsing frantically as if it could hold on forever. It's hard to imagine such a life when we buy a tinned tuna or we get half a kilo of mackerels from our local fishmonger...

Several weeks ago I referenced a few markets that I was looking to for confirmation of the recent upswing in global equity prices. After false starts to the year in 2010 and 2011, I wanted to be cautious and not to chase early strength in 2012 -- especially since I started the year very light in equities due to the ongoing debt crisis in Europe. Specifically, I wanted to see a breakout in both U.S. Treasury 10-year yields and the Thompson Reuters/Jeffries CRB Commodity Excess Return Index to confirm economic expansion, especially in the U.S. Without such confirmation, I remain convinced that the rally was more a Pavlovian response to Central Bank machinations, rendering them subject to rapid rejection as they had been in the past.
Notwithstanding the recent allure of U.S. government bonds relating to the extreme volatility now witnessed in European debt markets, both short and long term U.S. interest rates are holding in very tight ranges. Regardless of the recent strength exhibited in domestic economic data, U.S. rates remain range-bound. Of course, weaker data are not necessarily met with a rousing bond rally either. Over the past several weeks, yields have been pinned very closely to the 2% level. Long-time bond traders cannot be faulted for assuming that "a fix" is in....528 more words left in this article.

Catholic Blogs
Catholic Geeks
A new blog to keep an eye on: The Catholic Geeks. From their mission statement:
The Catholic Geeks is a blog about Catholic topics, geeky topics, and (preferably) geeky Catholic topics. You'll find us talking about stories, games, theology, philosophy, and current events, both with and without snarky commentary.
Go here to take a gander at the blog.
Fellow geeks I salute you! Long may your blog prosper!
Sardonic Ex Curia
I always keep my eye out for good linking blogs which list the best posts each day on subjects I am interested in. Commenter Jonathan runs an excellent linking blog at Sardonic Ex Curia. Here is his description of his blog:
Welcome to Sardonic Ex Curia! The purpose of this blog is simple – provide a series of daily links to intelligent conservative, Federalist, or Catholic web content. Most of it will be current content from true blogs, although some of it may be links to good reprints, journal articles, and other web flotsam. I am modeling this on the Catholic blog the "Pulp.It". Go check them out sometime as well!
Go here to take a look at the blog.
Well, we have added a new Catholic blog to our blog roll, OnePeter5. Run by Steve Skojec, here is his explanation of its mission:
The four marks of the Church are that it is One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. But sadly, in our present age, much of our unity has been lost.
We need to get back to basics. Belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. An understanding of the Four Last Things, and that Heaven is not a foregone conclusion. Adherence to traditional teachings on sexual morality in a world hell-bent on dragging us away from them. A properly-grounded knowledge of the Church's thought on religious liberty and social justice, and how these impact those of us living in the post-Christian, deconstructionist ruins of Western Civilization. The re-establishment of long-discarded tradition that once made the Church strong, and can do so again.
The statistics aren't good. Belief in core Catholic teaching among self-identified Catholics is at an all-time low. Liturgical orthodoxy is an endangered concept. We have a vocations crisis that stems directly from the crisis in the sanctuary and the family. And the governments of the world move closer each year to declaring Catholic belief a hate crime.
We long for the return of Christendom. Of a social order predicated upon a proper understanding of God, His Church, her teaching, and natural law. But to get there, we have a lot of work to do.
OnePeterFive exists as a place to begin rebuilding the Catholic ethos. We're not just here to zero in on the problems, but to offer concrete solutions. We want to restore Catholic culture, rebuild the Church as a patron of the arts, reinvigorate the family and the traditions that keep it strong, reform the liturgy, support vocations, dust off the old devotions and make them relevant again. We want to help infuse the world with beautiful music, inspiring art, families that pray together, parishes centered around the Eucharist, strong communities, and a new generation of Catholics who can effectively bring the Gospel message to a world hostile to that message.
Our writers come from diverse backgrounds, but share a common goal: to work together to restore the beauty, majesty, and glory of the Catholic Church as the principle force for good in a fallen world.
We have a lot of work to do. There's no time to waste. Continue reading
Catholic and SSA
Joseph Prever, who has blogged under the pseudonym Steve Gershom, (and who is Simcha Fisher's brother), has written a rather intimate post discussing being homosexual and a practicing Catholic. You should read the whole thing, but here's the key point:
You probably know this already, but I'm celibate, because I'm Catholic. You will not hear me talking about When Oh When Will The Church Get With The Times, because that kind of talk is boring nonsense. Guys, the whole point of having the Church is having one thing, just one!, that you can depend on to always be the same. Thank God for that.
If you want a church that constantly changes to fit in with whatever's fashionable this decade, there are a bazillion options, and you're bound to find one that is custom-tailored to your particular set of prejudices. Happy shopping.
It's actually harder to come out as celibate than to come out as gay. Various people have pitied me, or tried to convince me that my life is vewwy vewwy sad, or tried to talk me out of it, or even surreptitiously tried to set me up with their gay friends. If you do this shit, I will not spin-kick you in the face, but I will very badly want to.
Now as is typical for the Catholic blogopshere, while many if not most have been supportive of Joseph, there is a rather vocal undercurrent that is more critical. Some of the more vitriolic, and frankly unhinged comments are simply not worth the time to respond to. There are a couple of more rational criticisms, expressed in many circles, that are worth addressing.
That Joseph uses the word "gay" to describe himself has bothered many. You'll hear this complaint on many topics related to same sex attraction, particularly if you ever use the term "gay marriage." There is some merit to this objection, as words do have significant connotations. Even Prever himself is uncomfortable with the word, and says so himself:
Some people have a problem with the word "gay". That's okay; I get it. I have a problem with it too. I've written a little about that. It's not a perfect word, but words are like that. You have to know the context. My life is the context. Get to know me first, and then we can argue about it.
Unlike most who have read this paragraph I gather, I bothered to look at the link Prever provided, and it opened to his about page where he writes this:
So are you gay, or what?
You could say that, if you wanted to, although I don't like the term and don't identify with it. I'm attracted primarily
and almost exclusivelyto men, and have been since I was about fourteen; but I don't date men or have sex with them, so where does that leave me? I'm a faithful Catholic, so a romantic relationship with another man literally doesn't fit into the way I see the world. I don't see myself as different in any essential way from heterosexual men, so describing myself as "gay" doesn't seem to fit.
On the other hand, "homosexual" sounds clinical, "queer" certainly isn't me, and "man who's attracted to other men" is cumbersome. So, "gay" is a useful sort of shorthand, and I'll use it from time to time until a better word comes along. SSA (same-sex attraction) is a useful term too, as in "He has SSA" rather than "He is SSA."
Okay, but can't you please use some other word besides "gay"? People are going to get the wrong idea.
People have made the point that, by using the same terminology used by those who hold the view that homosexuality is a normal, natural, healthy, super-wonderful sexual variant of human behavior, I'm implicitly legitimizing that view.
This is a valid point. Over and against this point, however, I weigh the fact that the word "gay" is immediately recognizable. If anyone cares enough to read what I've written on the blog, they'll find out what I think about it. And — let's be honest — "gay" is much better for SEO purposes.
Scandal! Well, not really. This is an eminently reasonable argument. If you want to quibble, feel free, but to me it seems rather pedantic, and I'm not about to cast Mr. Prever into the hellfire for using the term.
The more serious criticism is basically this: it is wrong for Prever to identify as gay (or homosexual or SSA) publicly, as he is giving tacit support for the lifestyle. Essentially, his public profession gives scandal.
This is wrongheaded for a number of reasons. As he makes abundantly clear, he lives a chaste life. No one who reads what he has written could claim with any level of intellectual honesty that he has given tacit support for the homosexual lifestyle, or that his admission of being gay somehow implies that identifies as gay above being Catholic, or that it is his sole defining identification. I would like to believe that this audience is familiar enough with the Catechism to understand that nothing that Prever wrote contradicts in any way the Church's teachings on homosexuality.
More importantly, the calls for Mr. Prever to, for lack of a better term, stay in the closet strikes me as stupefyingly boneheaded. We live in a culture where homosexual behavior is not only accepted, it is largely celebrated. Here we have an amazing testimony that goes profoundly against the grain. Here we have a gay man (sorry, homosexual) who proudly testifies to the truth of Holy Scripture, affirms the magisterial teaching of the Holy Church, and conforms his life to these teachings. And he should shut up? This magnificent sign of contradiction shouldn't evangelize to the truth? Are you kidding me?
It seems that so often we Catholics strive diligently to be our own worst enemies. We do our best to shout down the very people who are the greatest testimonies to the awesome love of our Lord.
I understand to a point the almost reflexive anger demonstrated by some Catholics when it comes to homosexuality. We feel we're banging our heads collectively against a wall, battling a culture that seems (and is) outright hostile to our values. The Gestapo-like tactics employed against those who oppose this cultural transformation sickens us all. But can we just take a minute before becoming the caricatures we're portrayed to be? Can we display that love of Christ here on Earth and embrace those who are the very exemplars of courage and sacrifice? Or would we rather obsesses over semantics and condemn to hell the very people who most need our support?

Top 25 Catholic Blogs by Technorati Authority by John Henry
Google's Top 25 Catholic Websites
John Henry and myself are a bit of stats geeks and we've been trying to figure out the most accurate way to gauge the number of visits American Catholic has been receiving by our readers. We use WordPress, Sitemeter, and Feedburner to see how we fare and I've entertained the possibility of using StatCounter to add to our curious habit. Then John Henry mentioned Google Reader and how it keeps tabs of the number of subscribers each website and blog has. That gave me the idea to add all of my favorite Catholic websites and see which ones have the most subscribers!
Now before you go and see who ranks where keep in mind that Google Reader only keeps track of Google account holders that add websites and/or blogs to their reader. It doesn't keep track of how many times a site is visited and not all websites such as the Vatican (and yes even a couple of blogs such as Catholic Report) don't even offer an RSS or Atom feed to subscribe to. If it's any consolation Google Reader seems to be the most popular reader out there with Bloglines a close second.

5.0 stars 2 totalReview Toby Shook
Posted by Tony and Dean
I just wanted to write this review because he deserves it. I have worked with several different lawyers in the past but Mr. Shook is No. One in my book. Not only he produceses results but he has been in the game long enough to answer any of your concers. He helped my brother with his case and i am sure he can do the same for you. It was a difficult case but his hard work and dedication paid off i thank you sir from bottom of my heart.
Posted by anonymous
I am not familiar with the legal system and, when I found out I had a warrant out on me, I panicked. Luckily I called Toby Shook. He was on top of everything from the moment he took my case. He told me what the charge meant, what I needed to do, what he would do and what would happen every step of the way. I called him in a panic but was soon able to relax. As the process went forward, he kept me informed. And - most importantly - he cleared up my issue quickly. My position was that whole thing was a mistake. Toby Shook made sure that the legal system saw it that way too. Everything was dismissed - like it never happened.

We are so spoiled as Colts fans if we think Luck is having anything short of an amazing start to his rookie year. If Luck keeps even just this pace up it would be one of the best rookie seasons for a QB ever.
That video was pretty heartbreaking and awesome at the same time. I couldn't help being sad to see it was the Jaguars game. It's too bad it couldn't have been the Packers game. I'm sure he had 0 complaints, of course, but I just wanted it to be the Packers game. How awesome would that have been for him?
You would think someone in his position would just be crushed by the decision to let go of Manning. But he just accepts the change and wants to meet the new guy (Luck) who will keep it going even when he's no longer around to see it.
He's like, the Anti-OlBlu.
Done A lot better than anyone expected
He is the most clutch rookie QB I have ever seen
Luck has been very impressive to me as a rookie QB. I am surprised by his poise, pocket awareness and his atheticism. He reminds me of another rookie QB that the blue and white had a while back, except he is a bit more polished at this stage and he might not have the super cannon arm but his intelligence has me very impressed.
Rookie rankings:
Luck #1:
Interestingly, RG3 is #3. I actually agree with that. I love Russell Wilson, and while he's had some rockiness here and there, what I see in that kid is a VERY good QB in a few years. Where Luck is like a mobile Manning.... Wilson is like a mobile Brees. Props to nfl.com for having some balls and not getting sucked into the RG3 hype.
What cracks me up is that RG3 has lost two straight games and not looked very good in the process, and yet Luck as won the last two, looking very good. What in the world is ESPN thinking on this one? The RG3 hype is exactly that.
He was fine against the Steelers. He receivers dropped 10 passes (NFL statistic, not my observation) for the most for any game by any team this years. RGIII hit all of those passes on the button. He looked just fine. He will look even better this coming week......:cool:
OlBlu saying he would take the guy who graduated with a bloody poli sci degree from Baylor over the guy who graduated with an architecture degree from Stanford and was the Academic All America of the Year is the tops.
Also, has it really come to this?
Lets say Luck and Griffin get taken out with a career ending injury. Who will have the better chance of going on in life without football with a job that will support them? Luck made a smart choice.

Wow, what's going on and how'd we get so lucky?
We have a good, old-fashioned gas war going on in C-U, especially in C. Nowhere else in Illinois is gas priced lower than here. Check this out:
Another site shows that we're still far from the cheapest gas in the country. That's in Texas, where a gallon is going for about $1.80. But it's nice to get some relief. The logical question is: why? Is this really because I no longer drive 75 mph, except when on the interstate? :)
I sure don't know why we're so lucky. I hope to find out tomorrow.
The really cool thing is that not only is gas about NINETY CENTS A GALLON LESS (!!!) than it was a month ago, it's almost the same price as a year ago. The conventional wisdom just a month or two ago was that gas prices would never be that low again.
Any ideas why this is going on? Is it because even House Speaker Denny Hastert of Illinois is putting some heat on the oil companies? Is the White House jawboning the the oil company execs to stop gouging consumers, lest they spoil the holiday shopping season, upon which the national economy is so dependent? What do you think?

Willow Gets Creative Direction From Jay-Z on New Album
Willow leads a charmed life. The 'Whip My Hair' singer who is all of 10-years-old, revealed that rap mogul Jay-Z has been very hands on and is helping her while she works on her debut album. Granted, Jay-Z signed her to his Roc Nation label, but having him as a mentor is a critical ingredient in Miss Smith's recipe for success. Having megastars Will and Jada Pinkett Smith as parents doesn't hurt, either!
According to DigitalSpy, Smith told KISS FM that she turns to Jay-Z for a little guidance whenever she hits the wall — creatively speaking. "Whenever I have a creative block, he's always like, 'Do what artists do when they have a block. Make a song about it,'" the aspiring star said.
The '21st Century Girl' also talked about hanging out with Lady Gaga last month at the Grammys, revealing that the two fashionistas talked about (what else?) clothes!
"We were talking about my outfit and her shoulders. She's awesome," Smith gushed.
See what we meant about leading a charmed life?

It was during the two minutes where the president was saying, "Dammit, Jim, I can't do this by myself! I'm a president, not a miracle worker!"

Constellar Omega vs Heraldry Record
Was casually dueling a friend today and I summoned Constellar Omega. As i went to use his effect,
Once per turn, during either players turn. You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; all "Constellar" monsters your currently control are unaffected by Spell/Trap effects this turn.
My friend activated Heraldry Record, a new trap from Number Hunters.
When an effect of your opponent's Xyz Monster is activated by detaching its own Xyz Material(s): Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.
We got very confused, being casual players and not knowing the EXTREME intricacies of the game and where detaching a material falls, and with these two cards basically doing the opposite of one another, what should have happened?
After a few minutes, we decided that it would negate constellars effect and kill him....what do you guys think?
You ain't got nothin better to do then to come into BILL SHARPE'S TOWN, AND SHOW YO ASS?!?!?

That's not terribly intricate, what you decided was what the card says it does. Omega detached a material as a cost to use its effect, heraldry record was chained to the effect's activation. resolving backwards, omega's effect is negated and omega is destroyed.

Sweet thanks. Both of us took about a 10 year break from playing and just recently got back in, so we weren't 100 percent. Appreciate it.

I'd strongly suggest reading the rulebook, you would've been able to find the answer to your question there.
The most recent version is available online with a simple google search.

Cape May's first business event at the new $10.5 million Convention Hall was declared a success Monday, as Social Media Day drew a large crowd and most seemed pleased with the venue.
The one-day free event, sponsored by the city and produced by the Chamber of Commerce of Greater Cape May and the private email marketing company Constant Contact, drew 150 to 200 people for each of four seminars promoting the use of social media to increase business.
The seminars were a test of sorts of the systems needed to host business groups at the new hall, which opened Memorial Day weekend and had its performing arts capabilities tested during the summer with a series of concerts. The hall features fiber optic connections (both Comcast and Verizon), digital systems, wireless Internet, and audio visual, lighting and other systems.
"This is the first event of this type we've held in the hall. They liked the hall and said the amenities were set up just the way they want," Mayor Ed Mahaney said.
The goal is to use the hall for a number of community functions but also to draw business groups and try to extend the shoulder seasons in the spring and fall. Monday's event was unlikely to lead to hotel stays, but Mahaney said most participants were planning to eat lunch in town and some would stay for dinner.
Chamber President John Cooke said the city was very supportive of the event because it wanted to test all of the hall's systems. He also declared it a success.
"We had close to 200 reservations. We had to bring in some extra chairs," Cooke said.
It seemed appropriate that a test of the building's ability to draw business uses was about new high-tech ways businesses can improve their bottom line. A live Twitter feed was displayed on one wall. Cooke noted some tweets were responses to participants at the event sending out tweets themselves. One came in from a hotel owner in Scotland.
"Someone just tweeted that they're following the live twitter comments at home. This is the wave of the future. It's not even the wave. It's here now," Cooke said.
The crowd included many local business people as well as others who traveled a distance to learn how Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest and other social media sites can increase business.
"This helps a lot. I'm still beating two rocks together to create sparks," said Michael Giletto, a caterer from Mount Laurel, Burlington County.
Alicia Grasso, marketing director of Cape May Stage, said she is already using social media but wanted to learn more.
"I'm looking for ways to improve what we're doing," Grasso said.
Tina Giaimo, who owns a local photography business and has been online for nine years, said she still doesn't think much social media is "relevant, yet" for her business, but she attended because in the future she believes "some of it will be useful." Giaimo also has other concerns, such as protecting photographs she puts online from being used.
Dave Yunghans and Carolinn Pocher Woody, of Constant Contact, gave instructions on how to set up social media sites. They also answered specific questions, even staying during the lunch break to do so.
"None of this stuff is hard if you simply follow instructions," said Yunghans as he handed out Social Media Quick Starter Cards.
Woody pushed Facebook, the largest social media site at 901 million users, as a way to boost business. She said it can start with a couple of people visiting the site and can quickly reach 20,000 or more. She advised treating the biggest fans of the business "like gold" because they will "promote the business for you."
She described some interesting marketing strategies, including a pet supply store that offered Facebook customers a $20 coupon for "doggie treats," but only if the promotion reached 5,000 customers. It took off with Facebook and blogs, drawing 14,140 new subscribers to the Facebook page.
"Monthly sales grew 22 percent. That's the power of social media," Woody said.
She also advised that online consumer recommendations can boost business and are more trusted than advertising. She said online sites should have engaging content. As an example, she cited the Wilbraham Mansion in West Cape May, which put its "secret recipe" for baked French toast online.
"Don't overly promote, but don't mix in topics that have nothing to do with your business," Woody said.
The city declared Monday "Social Media Day."
"It's a positive for the city of Cape May. It allows us to progress and expand in the area of holding conferences that require technology," Mahaney said.

Manufacturer Provides Solution to Texas School IAQ Problem
December 21, 2001
RICHARDSON, TX — Parkhill Junior High School here was having indoor air quality (IAQ) problems. "Some classrooms were freezing cold and others were hot and humid," said a school hvac maintenance manager. But not now.
The school's 25-year-old dehumidification units needed replacing and Lennox Industries came up with the answer — a new "L-series" unit with a Humiditrol option. The option allows the unit to provide dehumidification on demand without a call for cooling from a space thermostat.
The 47 Humiditrol units were installed in August 2001 and the school is now meeting ASHRAE standards, maintaining even temperatures, and achieving humidity removal goals.

Archived - Annex B: Report of 2013 APEC Finance Ministers' Process Initiatives
Archived information
Archived information is provided for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. Please contact us to request a format other than those available.
Financial Inclusion
Two APEC workshops on Financial Inclusion were held during 2013 (Jakarta on 27-28 February and Manado on 23-24 May). Several common themes arose from these discussions which can be used as a reference in planning and implementing innovation in distribution channels, especially branchless banking, in APEC economies. These were the need:
- to foster commitment of financial institutions to attend to the needs of the unbanked;
- to promote the development of sustainable business models and suitable products;
- for adequate infrastructure, including technology, and robust legal frameworks that can provide services efficiently and effectively;
- to develop a balanced, comprehensive regulatory framework that can promote financial inclusion;
- to enhance risk management frameworks through identifying and mitigating specific risks;
- to develop customer protection frameworks to secure trust and to support demand for innovative financial services, complemented with a comprehensive financial education program;
- to strengthen collaboration and coordination amongst the stakeholders to improve effectiveness; and
- to develop clear and necessary requirements to regulate operational permits according to international standards and with the support of adequate monitoring and supervision mechanisms to ensure the program is in compliance with prevailing rules and regulations.
Asia Pacific Financial Inclusion Forum (ABAC, Indonesia, ADB)
Innovation promotes financial inclusion by significantly reducing the costs and increasing the efficiency of financial services being offered to low-income households and small enterprises. The 2013 Asia-Pacific Financial Inclusion Forum held at Batam Island, Indonesia on 11-12 June 2013 and convened by ABAC, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Institute and their partner institutions and a training program hosted by the Australian APEC Study Centre at RMIT University identified various measures that can help governments harness innovation to promote financial inclusion.
Mobile and branchless banking is a key enabler to increase access to financial products and services and represents a significant opportunity to bank the unbanked. However, it is a multidimensional issue involving elements such as: domestic policies for financial inclusion, financial products and services development, regulatory frameworks, cooperation amongst stakeholders and consumer perspectives. As such, the development of mobile and branchless banking services requires a holistic approach to address challenges from multiple angles. APEC Finance Ministers received a full report on the key findings of the Forum.
APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) Asia Pacific Financial Forum (ABAC, Australia)
The Asia Pacific Financial Forum (APFF), established by ABAC, is a regional platform for public-private collaboration to help accelerate the development of integrated financial markets.
The symposium was held in Sydney, Australia on 10-11 April 2013. The symposium identified linkages and priority issues in the development of lending and capital markets, market infrastructure and institutions to mobilize long-term savings that APFF can help address. The symposium contributed to deepening public-private collaboration in the development of sound, efficient, inclusive, and integrated financial systems in the region.
Treasury and Budget Reform
The APEC workshop on Treasury and Budget reform jointly sponsored by Indonesia and the APEC Secretariat, was held on 2-3 July 2013 in Lombok, Indonesia. APEC member economies welcomed the exchange of knowledge and experience among APEC officials on reform initiatives. We note the key themes that emerged from the workshop discussions, including:
- Institutional coordination, particularly between Ministries of Finance and Central Banks, as well as other government agencies and ministries, is an important component for all aspects of treasury and budget reform. Strong relationships between fiscal and monetary authorities can be underpinned by information exchanges, consultation and coordination. Many countries support this relationship with clear rules and arrangements among authorities, such as through Memoranda of Understanding to ensure clear accountabilities and/or protocols;
- The need to consider various elements of risk in managing treasury and budget systems, such as liquidity risk, political risk and the volatility of government revenue and expenditure flows;
- The importance of using the results of treasury and budget reform to improve and inform budgetary decisions;
- The importance of Government Financial Report in enhancing fiscal transparency and promoting long term fiscal sustainability; and
- For spending reviews, performance measures supported by sound methodology and program budget structure are important for improving budget allocation and efficiency over time. These performance measures also provide valuable inputs for governments in their budget policy decision making.
APEC economies welcome the voluntary sharing of information and lessons learnt amongst member economies and international financial institutions on appropriate reforms. This will engender a constructive dialogue to indentify and encourage ongoing reform within our region.
Asia Pacific Infrastructure Partnership (ABAC)
Since 2010, ABAC has created a regional structure to enable governments and the private sector to frankly and objectively discuss complex matters related to infrastructure finance and enhance the understanding of the issues and risks they face. This structure, the Asia-Pacific Infrastructure Partnership, involves key officials, experts from multilateral development banks, and senior private sector experts from a wide range of fields relevant to infrastructure PPPs.
In 2013, APIP Dialogues were hosted by the Philippines and Thailand. Finance Ministers were provided with a briefing on the outcomes of these discussions. ABAC will continue this valuable dialogue as part of the 2014 APEC Finance Ministers' process.
APEC Financial Regulators Training Initiative (ADB)
Endorsed at the APEC Finance Ministers' Meeting in 1998, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Financial Regulators Training Initiative (APEC FRTI) provides a systematic, integrated, and sustained approach to improve the quality and efficiency of financial supervision and regulation. APEC FRTI is the longest running APEC Finance Ministers' initiative. The ADB serves as the APEC FRTI Secretariat.
In addition to technical and secretariat support, the ADB has continually provided financial support for FRTI activities. ADB has so far financed 7 technical assistance projects totaling $US 6.5 million to support APEC FRTI.
Since 2001, 4,263 financial regulators and supervisors have been trained in 105 training seminars. These included 58 banking supervision seminars, 45 securities regulation seminars, and 2 short training programs.
In 2013, six seminars—three for banking supervisors and three for securities regulators—have been organized and 277 financial supervisors and regulators have been trained (five more seminars are expected to be organized this year with additional financial support from the Republic of Korea). Requests for training in new learning areas followed the global financial crisis. The FRTI responded by expanding into new topics—including those relating to cross-border supervision and information technology.
