Located directly off Whitlock Avenue in the heart of downtown Marietta, Chicken and the Egg is a farm-to-table dining experience with a "Southern slant." Serving brunch, lunch, dinner, and of course drinks, they elevate traditional comfort food by offering dishes like wild boar meatballs, charred brussels sprouts, roasted beet salad, chicken + waffles, bacon wrapped meatloaf, and braised beef short rib (my favorite!).
I have dined at Chicken and the Egg many times in the past – Ian and I rang in our first New Years together by having dinner at Chicken and the Egg, we have celebrated Mothers Day with our families there, and we have been back countless times for date nights, especially when we lived within walking distance from the restaurant. Our most recent visit was thanks to the DiningOut Atlanta Passbook. This book has helped me explore many new restaurants around the area and it has also allowed us to go back to some of our favorites (like Chicken and the Egg). I love, love, love this book. If you are in the Atlanta area, please let me tell you more about this book – you will love it! The new 2017-2018 book comes out shortly and you would be a fool not to purchase it (and you would definitely be a fool if you didn't use my code to get $ off!).
This last time we dined at Chicken and the Egg, our favorite dish by far was the braised beef short rib, pictured below. It. was. amazing. Take my word for it and just get it! Ian had the stroganoff and wasn't a huge fan. Another person in our party had the chicken + waffles and really enjoyed them. The appetizer dips were great, too and we loved the little dishes they came in them.
Overall, I definitely recommend Chicken and the Egg if you are in the downtown Marietta area! The 'feel' of the restaurant was modern, but still cozy and southern. The food has always been great in the past with no complaints, but we had mixed reviews (just the stroganoff) this past time we dined there, and the service has always been great. I apologize in advance about the poor quality of the pictures below, but I just could not get great lighting this night, but please check them out!!!

Happy Easter
>> Tuesday, April 4, 2017
I started by coloring up the new Sneaky Bunny Flower Pot image, die cutting, matting it and adding a little glitter glue embellishment. I think that little bunny is just too cute! It's totally my favorite thing about the whole card...lol. For the background, I used a piece of lavender card stock and my Darice Easter egg embossing folder, which I added to a light yellow card base.
I added a strip of orange flower embossed card stock, that I layered with a punched border and lace. I did all of this to match my image and added the Happy Easter Everybunny greeting to finish it off.
I know I've said it in the past, but I love me a good punny card any day of the week!
Here's hoping the Easter bunny brings you lots of sweet treats :) :) :)

Thought I'd do something a little different for my end of the year post this year. Instead of the usual best songs or best albums list, I've decided to put together a list of albums whose greatness you haven't heard about a thousand times. This is not to say that those albums aren't great (I love RTJ2 as much as the next music nerd) but the underdogs deserve some credit too. I've included a link to a soundcloud playlist that includes my favourite songs from the albums on this list- except for Kississippi who don't have a soundcloud unfortunately. If something catches your ear then check out the rest of the album. These albums are all great from front to back.
10. Bellows – Blue Breath
This one's still growing on me to be honest. If I gave it another couple of weeks it might of jumped up a couple spots. "Lost in Space" and "See Bright, Be Fine" are standouts.
9. Kississippi – I Can Fell You In My Hair Still
Kississippi share a label with Cyberbully Mom Club (Too Fare Gone Records) and they also share some musical sensibilities. Like CMC, they harness the intimacy of lo-fi to beautiful effect. Kississippi sound their best when shaping gorgeous harmonies, like in the song "ivy forest due".
8. Trace Mountains – Buttery Sprouts
Drawing influence from Pavement Trace Mountains mutter their way perfectly through this EP. Also, there's a Beyonce cover so that's pretty cool.
7. Kero Kero Bonito – Intro Bonito
Kero Kero Bonito is a London band who draw influence from J-Pop, Indian, and PC music. This might sound like a cluttered mess, but Kero Kero Bonito know exactly what they're doing and they hop through their influences with ease.
6. Cyberbully Mom Club – Outdoor Activities
No band this year sounded as fragile as Cyberbully Mom Club. Outdoor Activities was recorded in a bedroom and you can tell. The lo-fi production allows Sam Becht to speak directly to her audience. She sounds like a real person and her problems are real person problems.
5. Lowell – I Killed Sarah V.
Torontonian band Lowell is poised to do great things. They have great songs and the support of a great label (Arts and Crafts). Personally, I think their songs are poppy enough to compete on the airwaves with anyone.
4. Bad History Month/Dust From 1000 Years – Famous Cigarettes
Famous Cigarettes is a split LP and both bands deliver. BHM drop some dark apocalyptic tunes to start off the album. These songs take their time in setting an eerie mood and reward the listener for their patience by crashing the silence with chaotic and cathartic choruses. When DF1Y takes over in the second half it is a nice change of pace. Their songs are more straightforward and provide a nice juxtaposition with BHM's more experimental songs.
3. Frankie Cosmos – Zentropy
Zentropy is a quick little pop album. Out of its ten songs not one reaches the two and a half minute mark. Frankie expresses a lot of her personality in this short time. Each song has a personal focus as Frankie touches on subjects such as her brother, boyfriend, father, and dog (who is pictured on the album's cover). She is self deprecating in a way that one can empathize with and which stops short of a pity party. If it is a pity party, it's a very catchy part.
2. Mitski – Bury Me at Makeout Creek
A very emotionally powerful album. Mitsky rips open her heart and lets everyone take a look. This album is equal parts depressing and inspiring. An example of this can be seen in the song "I Don't Smoke" where Mitsky tells her partner the disheartening line: "If your hands need to break more than trinkets in your room you can lean on my arm as you break my heart" and than immediately turns it around with the battle cry that she is "stronger than you [sic] give me credit for". The music matches this feeling, oscillating between quiet ballads and energized rock songs.
1. Small Wonder – Wendy
Every song on this album gives me goosebumps. Henry Crawford is an expert at crafting songs that build and crash in spectacular fashion. These songs sound big and confident. Every moment of every song contributes to the momentum that this album maintains from start to finish. This attention to every detail carries over to the albums lyrics too. Two of my favourite lines come from album closer: "Wind Let Loose". Henry sings, "I'm scared that I'm so boring", a feeling that many people grapple with as they mature. One thing Henry need not fear is that his album is boring. Wendy is one of the most exciting projects I've heard in awhile, and has refused to bore me despite many many listens.

Opening on the 100th anniversary of the day World War I began, The Museum of Modern Art's The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy runs from 4 August through to 21 September, highlighting 60 feature-length films and thematic programmes that attempt to provide a comprehensive view of the war as portrayed in film.
The various films focus on prewar activities; espionage; the battlefields in the trenches, in the air, and on and beneath the sea; actualités; and the various homefronts before, during, and after the war. Familiar films, such as A Farewell to Arms (1932) and Lawrence of Arabia (1962), along with several lesser-known works from as far away as New Zealand – including Chunuk Bair (1992) – reflect the universality of a war that reshaped the prevailing values of what passed for civilisation.
In August, the programme is predominately drawn from the early years, either during the war or in the succeeding decades, and includes several silent films. The program in September will concentrate mainly on later, more contemporary films up to, and including, Steven Spielberg's War Horse (2011). The Great War is organised by Charles Silver, Curator, with Dave Kehr, Adjunct Curator, Department of Film, MoMA.
Many of the films in the series deal with the entrenched stalemate in France, including Verdun, Vision d'Histoire (Verdun, Vision of History) (1928) directed by Leon Poirier. The film, largely pacifist in nature, is based on the great 1916 battle and integrates actual footage with realistic restaged material using many actors who had been soldiers in the war.
Similarly, Les Croix de bois (Wooden Crosses) (1932), directed by Raymond Bernard, forms something of a pacifist trench-based trio with Lewis Milestone's All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) and G. W. Pabst's Westfront 1918 (1930). The Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front, adapted from the novel by Erich Maria Remarque, depicts the disillusionment of German youth after experiencing the realities of war.
The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy, 4 August – 21 September, MoMA, 11 W 53rd St, New York, NY 10019. For more information visit www.moma.org.

The plot early Christians invented for a divine redeemer figure is as archaic as the mythology in which it is framed. A Jesus who drops down out of heaven, performs some magical act that frees human beings from the power of sin, rises from the dead, and returns to heaven is simply no longer credible. The notion that he will return at the end of time and sit in cosmic judgment is equally incredible. We must find a new plot for a more credible Jesus.
Why is Catholic teaching not enough?

text: I just did an epic fail of an interview. Main issue? didn't look at at the restaurants menu and read prices. I was interviewing for a place that touted it was going to do family comfort food, brilliant, right up my alley. Showed up in my uniform, brought my knife bag, looked pressed and clean shaved, KM was impressed ad said so...now comes the bad part. When asked why I wasn't currently working I said "Well, I did fine dining in the past and don't want to just work in any schlock boil-in-a-bag gravy house." KM looks at GM and kind of clears her throat.. and I start to feel the toe of my size sixteen shoe entering my mouth. I then say "ah..you don't make your own gravy do you?" "No." "Biscuits?" trying to talk around the ball of my foot "No." "Umm...you guys don't use Stouffers easy bake mac and cheese too do you?" figuring at this point I am already in it to the waist. "we get everything premade from Sysco that we need." "Oh." I won't get into the rest of the conversation but I doubt I will be hearing from them. Had i just read the menu and prices , which I did when I got home...I probably would have realized to say anything else. ah, well... i wouldn't be happy opening tins and making "food" that way so I guess it's just as well.

Why Register with a Medical Recruitment Agency
Why Register with a Medical Recruitment Agency
Registering yourself with a good medical recruitment agency can help you secure the kind of career you wish for. For those who are new to a city or looking for a change of jobs, a recruitment agency can be pretty helpful.
One of the major mistakes which people commit is to expect that they would be able to get a job as soon as they have registered themselves. Though it may happen once in a while, but this isn't how things actually work.
If you are planning to relocate or thinking about shifting towards better opportunities, it's better to register with a medical recruitment agency at least eight to ten months in advance. The success rate for you securing the job of your choice greatly depends upon your experience and your specialty.

National Debt
Hello Die-Hard Patriots!
My second book Choosing Sides takes place in Washington DC and exposes stock market manipulations by the Chinese in retaliation for the failed mission into the Bo Hai Bay. Both Time Bomb Ticking and Choosing Sides create a scenario that highlights the threat of our national debt and the constraints it imposes on us as a superpower. Today the national debt stands at a whopping 19.736 trillion dollars. (more…)

I've been experimenting with managing my media since the Boston Marathon bombing. Unfortunately, we keep having catastrophic events like this one and the Sandy Hook school shooting to give me practice.
It used to be that I would sit in front of the television consuming and consumed – as with the 9/11 attack and the Gabby Giffords shooting and others – by channel surfing and visiting scores of sites on my laptop until overcome with media overload and not much insight to show for it. Now, I take a different tack.
Yes, I still grab my phone for the headlines and other coverage in the major papers each morning before I even get out of bed, and I check in my NPR especially on my commute, but I try to limit my television consumption to the evening newscasts. Yes, the network newscasts.
I know how old school that sounds, but consider this: those programs have teams of people reporting, vetting, and packaging 10-15 minutes of coverage daily. By watching one and recording two, I can get a variety of perspectives distilled into an amount of coverage I can consume on my own terms without feeling overwhelmed.
Yes, I still get the headlines and keep up with major developments throughout the day and tune in when something really new breaks, but I find that I'm not as derailed by every false report (such as John King's Wednesday announcement of an arrest) when I manage my media and mindfully consume it instead of allowing it to consume me.

Of all of Lucy Hale's enviable traits, her ability to be a total beauty chameleon is the one we admire most—the actress and singer looks just as good in a poppy-red lip and bronzy eye shadow as she does in almost-black lipstick and a flick of eye liner. Lately, however, we've been obsessing over her hair—namely, her dark, choppy new bob. So it only seemed fitting that we ask her to share all her short-hair secrets for this month's column. From her favorite products to her styling tips, keep scrolling to read all of Lucy Hale's lob secrets!
Hi Byrdie readers! I'm excited to talk about all things lob in this month's column. I had been thinking about getting my hair cut short for a while. My long hair had always been my security blanket, and I knew it was time to break out and try something new. Scott Cunha did my very first cut back in November while we were on a trip in Nashville. I wasn't necessarily planning it when we went on the trip, but we were nearing the Pretty Little Liars filming hiatus, so the timing just worked out well.
When Scotty cut my hair that first time, it was more of a medium-length cut, so it wasn't a drastic change all at once. But getting your hair cut short can be addicting! Once I cut it that first time, I wanted to keep going shorter and shorter. Back in Los Angeles I went to Kristin Ess with makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan and we both went for the lob!
My hair routine definitely changed when I got my hair cut. I try not to wash my hair every day, but I use the Frederic Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Shampoo ($30) and Conditioner ($30) when I do. If I'm going to wear my hair with curls or texture, I'll apply mark.'s This Is Big Body Building Mousse ($16) to add volume and a light hold. I'll then just do a quick blow-dry so it is no longer damp. After it's dry, I'll use mark.'s That's Beachy Texturizing Surf Spray ($14). I LOVE the scent. Then, I'll use the Hot Tools' Professional Marcel Curling Iron ($40) and add waves that go in alternating directions to create a more undone look.
I'll finish it with a spritz of Oribe's Volumizing Spray ($40).
If I'm wearing my hair straight, I'll use a serum or lotion. My favorite right now is mark.'s Give It To Me Straight Super Smoothing Lotion ($16). Then, I'll use a flat iron to smooth things over. If I'm at home, I use the GHD's Classic Styler Flat Iron ($185). If I'm traveling, I'll use mark.'s Mini Flat Iron ($24). Kristin Ess taught me a trick that I love using—after flat ironing, I just spray some Evian Facial Water Spray ($13) on the ends. It helps tame frizz and add moisture!
The only thing I miss about having long hair is how easy it was to put it up in a topknot or bun. I can't fit all of my hair into a ponytail right now, so I have a half-up bun solution. But I think I'll keep my bob for a while—I really love having my hair short. We're just getting ready to start filming Pretty Little Liars again, so I may get the chance to wear some extensions as my character, Aria, which could be the best of both worlds!

Autistic Burnout: a special kind of weary
I start with a well-researched concoction of supplements to help reduce the effects of burnout and deficiencies. Magnesium and B vitamins feature highly. I also take natural anti-inflammatories and vitamin D amongst the plethora of other goodies. Without them, the desire to curl up and sleep is constant throughout the day and I feel generally "wrong".
This isn't just tiredness. This is a special (and possibly unnecessary) kind of Weary.
Looking back I think I've always struggled with episodes of burnout. School knocked me out, and by the time I was 16 I was too confused by and terrified of what the outside world expected of me to continue formal education. I tried for another two years but it was disastrous and I spiralled down into an unhappy mess where just about everything felt like a struggle. In the interim 30 years (for most of it unaware of being autistic) the burnout built into something that these days never really goes away. I've bullied myself into too much and now I'll never recover.
Autistic burnout can be hell. Its effects are so vast on all aspects of life that it's not straightforward to explain.
At best it can be disruptive, inconvenient, irritating, frustrating and exhausting; at worst it can be devastating, life-limiting and depressing, with chronic health and mental health problems. I look back at lost time and cry.
Then there's the relationship fallout.
I can't allow myself to spend too long dwelling on how much this burnout affects the lives of my loved ones because that would be futile. I can't fight it; it would only make everything worse. And a big part of my burnout is connected to my intense, internal – socially conditioned – pressure not to fail, and modern ideas about what success is.
I am also burnt out partly because I am thinking of others, I do think of others, I have always thought of others and it's ruined me. I wish I thought it was worth it but, but for a few exceptions, I don't think most people have noticed the effort or regarded me as thoughtful about them at all. I now focus entirely on my life at home with my husband and the youngest child we are still responsible for and our two grownup children. They are my world. They get everything (although it may look paltry in comparison to the actions of other parents) and I have no energy left for anyone else. This is not a conscious choice, this is just how it is. Energy is at a premium.
Ah, Energy. To me that word means so much. Because I have several different kinds of energy and some days all of it is absent. On other days I have the energy to cope with certain things but not others. Some days I am mentally energetic but can't walk uphill. Other days I am physically able and want to go for a long walk but can't face having a conversation. Some days I have vast and impressive problem-solving energy and can answer tens of emails and texts but can't make the bed or remember to cook tea before 8pm. Some days I can do everything and still smile and chat. But that's not often these days. I celebrate those days with the deepest of joy.
The constant anxiety around expectation and a life spent meeting it, has eaten away my strength and health. It's only now in middle age that I can see just how massively devastating expectation is for autistic people. We are often confused by so many conventions that don't seem necessary to us but we keep on trying to please until we lose sight of who we are – especially if we see ourselves as non-autistic and just basically failing. The constant strive to fit and to meet expectation and never being true to oneself is completely the wrong way to live. I am ruined. Who am I???
These days, sadly, it only takes a tiny trip out of my comfort zone to put me into recovery for days, if not weeks. Anything that upsets me or strains me and takes a huge effort will take longer to recover from. And yet those around me see something resembling conventional functioning and have no idea of the effort involved and so of course don't understand the subsequent down time required.
Everything is affected.
Every part of my life.
I don't have friends anymore. I can't be part of anything because I am now so terrible at maintaining the to-and-fro that is essential for relationships, and people have understandably given up waiting for my reciprocation. I am inconsistent and my physical and social energy no longer match my enthusiasm. My willingness and my optimism have been pitted against my burnout for years and my track record teaches me that it's not worth bothering other people with me.
It's not my choice to have no friends and it's heartbreaking, but a lot can be read into my silence and invisibility when people subconsciously expect so much from each other physically. And that's the biggest problem of all: people don't realise the weight of their expectations because they are not aware they have such huge expectation and that their version of friendship is actual quite energy-draining and physical for me. For autistics.
The socialising that means actually turning up for things – and preferably on time (Rachel might cancel, might say "no" might be late, might be uncomfortably quiet)…
The phone calls on a whim because someone fancies a chat (Rachel doesn't answer)…
The to and fro chats across a table with noises going on around us (Rachel can't sit still, is distracted, struggles to talk)…
Trips, concerts, weddings, shopping, days out (Rachel won't travel far from her home and won't go anywhere without her husband)…
What's the point in having a friend like me?
I don't get invited to anything anymore and it's excruciatingly painful to see photos on social media after an event and know it wasn't worth bothering to invite me because my behaviours in the past have given the impression I don't care, I'm disinterested or simply too unreliable. I am in bits now thinking of how my absence is translated into disinterest. Looking like I don't care is so far from the real me who cares so very much about everyone that I ache with sadness.
Burnout means plans can seem mammoth, talking can feel really physically taxing, and pushing myself to meet expectation can feel that it's sacrificial to my health.
There are days when things are quite simply impossible. The inertia can be suffocating.
In a previous post I mentioned how pushing myself into something I'm not ready for is like trying to enter a force field. I feel physically unable to move because I am too burnt out to do something others find simple.
I've perfected the art of life without a plan because I simply can't always choose how my day will go.
Choice. There's a luxury.
So here I am with my pills and my three cups of tea that my husband brings me each morning, trying desperately to wake up. I can be awake for several hours before I can cope with a conversation because I can't hold onto or process verbal information too well until late morning. I may open my eyes at 7 or 8am but my first interaction with a human might be 11am. I need periods of sloth-like behaviour with slow moves and often isolation. And it's not just accommodating other people's words that's difficult, it's also difficult to accommodate their presence.
I usually can't eat in the morning. I'll eventually have a small, late breakfast if you can promise me I can have it in solitude but otherwise, no thank you. I tried forcing myself to have breakfast every day a couple of years ago but I've since given up.
I've learnt, reluctantly, that the best way to live with burnout is to live with it: go with it, don't fight it, listen to my natural rhythms, don't force anything. Burnout is a big fat NO, a huge great ENOUGH, an in your face STOP IT. It's not an enemy, it's not to be fought, it's a reminder that humans are not invincible, and that pretending, pushing oneself, comparing oneself with others and fitting in are really very unwise. Doing what others expect of you (and what you think is expected of you) leaves you with confusion about and no energy for what you really want to expect of yourself.
I have a ongoing sense of "What was it that I wanted to do?"
Accepting lost days is incredibly difficult. Feeling inactive and unproductive is not something that comes naturally to me. I am unrealistically ambitious and optimistic on a regular basis, and see life and the world as chock-full of opportunities, activities and things to get passionate about. It's hard. It's so very, very hard. Believe it or not I do still want to do everything.
Encouraging and applauding aspies and autistics for fitting in and being conventional, for holding down a 9-5, for functioning as "normal", for affecting great socialising skills, for being independent and self-sufficient comes at a price because for many of us these things take too much – far too much – and are not sustainable. It's Iike saying "Well done for not being you!"
It's not that you're asking too much of autistic people per se – in fact, much is possible – but that you're asking the wrong things of autistic people.
We are burning out.
I've been suffering this way for years but just didn't tell. I'm telling now. Because you really should know.
And the reason you should know is two-fold:
1. Because if you know me you should know that I am not unsociable or uncaring or a loner or any of the other things associated with people who withdraw from society.
2. Because there are thousands of others like me who are suffering and will continue to suffer and may not know until it is too late that they weren't meant to conform, adjust and work so stupidly hard for a lie.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: never underestimate the hard work an autistic person has to put in to fit into your world. Never underestimate that or the fallout that is inevitable. Think about how so much of life for autistics is all about "Well done – you're managing to not be like yourself again!"
Have you any idea how tiring not being yourself is? It's counterproductive. Anything that might not have been seen as autistic about me but perhaps just a quirk has become exacerbated by the trauma and exhaustion of the lifelong efforts to hide it, and now plays out as a disorder. I am more disordered the harder I try not to be. I'm am more introverted the more I try to socialise. I am less satisfied by life the more I try to "get out more". I will never get this right because The Model For Life we're all given by modern society, films, books and TV is based on not being autistic, on not having my levels of anxiety, on not needing so much space, on not getting ill from trying to be conventional. People's ideas about being a good friend will always clash with my energy levels. Tiny worries will now always exhaust me days after they should have been forgotten.
I believe very strongly that I will now live in burnout forever, that there is no escape because there is no escaping society.
There is such a thing changing society though. It can't come soon enough.
Occasionally I will forget just how badly and by just how much society has damaged me, and just how limited my life has become, and I will find myself making plans I can't fulfil. Then I become upset and distressed at the time lost on effort and preparation for what will slowly become evident is unachievable. These are awful times, heartbreaking times. I become swept up in self-loathing, thoughts of failure and anger at myself for even trying. I can be angry at the world too, for not supporting me, for not stopping me, for not appreciating me just as I am.
But mostly I remember I am just another middle-aged autistic wife and mother with burnout, who has to understand herself, look after herself and be kind to herself in a way the non-autistic world simply doesn't have the rule book to be able to do for us. Yet.

… one of Nature's Gentlemen.
I remember Herbert Porkess from his regular visits to my Grandmother's house during the 1950's. He would have been in his late sixties by then and seemed as old as the
hills to me – a nine year old. He always wore a cap, a tweed jacket and a muffler if it was cold. The cap only came off whenever Herbert was eating. Braces held his
trousers up but they were covered by his waistcoat and his shirt was usually collarless although I seem to remember that he sometimes wore a thin cravat like scarf
around his neck – it may well have been silk but if it was it would have been given to him.
He would sit in the kitchen, keeping well out of the way of the bustle, talking to my Grandmother who was usually preparing dinner, assisted by her daughters and
daughters-in-law. He talked, or should I say drawled with a slight wheeze in his voice, in a very broad Lincolnshire accent. In my mind's eye, even now, he was, in looks as
well as to hear him, Winteringham's Walter Gabriel – bearing in mind that in those days nobody had the slightest idea of what Walter Gabriel, or indeed any of The Archers' cast, looked like!
Herbert had become but a vague memory from my childhood when I came across a reference to him on the Whitton Web Site. When I discovered Winteringham.Info and began avidly burrowing through the wealth of
information here I began to gather references to Herbert with some surprising results. All that follows is from that information together with my Mother's memories and
anecdotes about Herbert. This is supplemented by more detailed information from Roger Porkess – a distant relative of Herbert.
Herbert's History
I have to presume that Herbert was born late in 1886 as he was baptised on Sunday, the 12th of December of that year
by Rector C. Knowles. His parents were Charles Henry and Harriet Porkess. One is tempted to speculate about how
long Charles and Harriet had been married (there is no record of them marrying in Winteringham) as Harriet's five year
old daughter, Ethel Mary Cross, was also baptised that day. The Parish Register recorded her as the daughter of
Charles and Harriet Porkess but, later that week, on Friday the 17th December 1886, the entry was corrected to show
that she was not born in wedlock and amends her surname from Porkess to Cross which was Harriet's maiden name. Ethel Mary eventually married someone called Wilkinson.
On Wednesday, the 4th of July 1888, Charles and Harriet's next son, Charlie, was baptised although the register
misspells his surname as Porkiss. On Friday, the 7th of June 1889, Herbert and Charlie's sister, Annie, was baptised. Annie tragically died soon after having lived for a mere five weeks.
Herbert's father, Charles Henry, a red head, was a bricklayer by trade and he is mentioned as such in Kelly's 1905,
1909 & 1919 Directories. Charles Henry was born in Toronto and was one of the many children of David Porkess –
who was also a bricklayer. Youngest son Charlie followed in his father's footsteps and became a bricklayer, plying his
trade well into the twentieth century, indeed he was known as Brickie Porkess. Charlie never married and he died in 1941 when he was run over by a bus in Kingston-upon-Hull.
Harriet Porkess died in 1893, aged 37. Subsequently, on Wednesday the 22nd of December 1897, bricklayer Charles Henry Porkess, a widower aged 44, married publican Ann Thornton, a widow aged 50. Both were resident in
Winteringham at the time and the Banns had been issued previously. Charles' father is listed as David Porkess and
Ann's father is listed as William Myers – both fathers being deceased. The rector was C. Knowles and the witnesses
were Solamon Porkess (Solomon, or Sol, was one of Charles Henry's brothers) and Jane Ellen Mumby.
It can be assumed that Ann Thornton ran The Ferry Boat Inn and that she must have been the widow of Robert Cook
Thornton who is first mentioned as the publican of The Ferry Boat Inn in Kelly's 1885 Directory. Whether she continued
with The Ferry Boat Inn is in doubt as, by 1901 Walter Thomas Thornton, aged 62, was listed at The Ferry Boat Inn. I
was intrigued by this connection with The Ferry Boat Inn as my Great Grandmother, Mary Ellen Field and subsequently
my Grandmother, Gertrude Harrison (Mary Ellen Field's daughter), had been the publicans from sometime during the
First World War up until about 1950. I wondered if this connection was the start of the friendship between Herbert and my Grandmother.
The First World War
Herbert served in the First World War and, according to my mother, was gassed in the trenches. He found it difficult to
hold down a regular job upon his return to Winteringham because of his consequent state of health however he was in
receipt of a small war pension. Roger Porkess remembers that he might have worked as a labourer on the roads at
some time. By the 1930's he was living in a wooden shed on the outskirts of Winteringham, on one of the roads to
Winterton. My mother remembers going out, as a child, with her elder sister gathering wild flowers. They found
themselves in the field where Herbert's shack was and decided to pay him a visit. Upon their return home my mother's sister exclaimed in horror to their mother, Gertrude, that "Herbert does everything
in a bucket"! I'm sure you don't need me to provide any more detail.
The Ferry Boat Inn was Herbert's local in those days, especially on the day that his war pension was paid out by the
Wardles at the Post Office. The bar, by mid-evening, would give any London pea-souper a run for its money with the
pipe and cigarette smoke. The floor throughout the bar and to the downstairs living quarters behind was stone paved.
The kitchen and living room were accessible, down the passageway, from the bar but the clientele were trusted not to
encroach – nor did they. However the living room door had been left open one day and Herbert, returning from the
outside toilet, was found just inside the doorway gazing at a splendid Cricket Cup trophy which, for decades, had taken
pride of place on the sideboard there. What cup it was and what has happened to it we may never know.
The 40s Onwards
By the 1940's Herbert's health and living conditions were causing some concern, not least with my Grandfather Ralph
Harrison. Efforts were made to find him some decent housing in Winteringham but none were available or suitable.
Eventually Ralph found out that a cottage was available in nearby Whitton and by 1951 Herbert had moved there and he is included on the Whitton Register of Electors dated the 20th November 1951.
The only drawback with this arrangement was that Whitton had no public houses so, several times a week, Herbert
would walk to Winteringham, down the old railway track, call in at my Grandmother's house and thence to The Bay
Horse or The Ferry Boat Inn where Winteringham folk would keep his glass full for the evening. Eventually Herbert would
return to Whitton, along the same rail track in the quiet darkness that you only used to find in the countryside in those days - lit only by the stars, and the moon if you were lucky.
What Herbert could do, in the dark, after a few beers, my own Father failed to do, sober and in broad daylight. On one
of our family holidays to Winteringham he decided to walk to Whitton to visit Herbert. Off he set down Low Burgage,
turned left at Boy Routh's Station Emporium and began to follow the rail track. He was gone some considerable time.
Eventually he got back and explained, with just a hint of embarrassment, that he had missed the old line to Whitton and
had found himself halfway to Scunthorpe before he had realised his error. He never did make it to Herbert's abode.
By 1962 Herbert's age and health demanded that he should live in an old people's home – The Hollies in Normanby
Road, Scunthorpe. The staff there were very kind to him, even to the extent of setting up a brazier in the garden on cold
days so Herbert could warm his hands. I can't help remembering that, long ago, the road gangs' first task before
starting to repair a road was to set up a portable shelter and fire up a brazier on a winter's day. Herbert would have felt at home.
Herbert Porkess died in 1965. He never married.
Those then are my memories of Herbert Porkess, a countryside character certainly but also a reminder how some
Winteringham folk lived before the welfare state and of how one, who was lucky enough to return from the First World
War, was more or less forgotten. When Herbert passed away with him went a link to the previous century. Village life
changed very little and very slowly over the years and some, like Herbert, hardly changed at all. My Grandfather used to
describe Herbert as "one of nature's gentlemen" and I hope that you will agree with him. I certainly do.Chris Snowdon.REFERENCES:

Hull: "CARRIERS. Robert Cook Thornton, to Hull, Tuesday & Friday."On the 12th December 1886

Whitton Register of Electors 20 November 1951 Porkess, Herbert, Whitton
From Roger Porkess:It was with great interest that I read your article on Herbert Porkess.
Herbert and my grandfather (John Wilkin Porkess) were second cousins but neither knew of the existence of the other.
Herbert's grandfather, David, was the youngest of 3 surviving brothers. The oldest, William Porkess (my great great
grandfather) was a bricklayer in Winterton. The next, John Porkess, lived in Broughton where he ran the mill and was a
local preacher; he also ran the Ancholme Steam Packet Company which I believe consisted of a steam launch plying
up and down the Ancholme. David Porkess was also a bricklayer and had nine children including Herbert's father, Charles Henry Porkess who was born in Toronto (and had red hair).
In 1962 my father (also John Wilkin Porkess) was driving through Broughton and was surprised to see a shop with the
name Porkess above it - we had never known anyone else with our name. We lived in Bolton at the time and he
suggested that I should go to Lincolnshire and see what I could find out. So I put my bicycle on the train and set off.
The shop in Broughton was run by Eva Porkess, widow of Rowland Oswald Porkess whose father was Tom and
grandfather John, who I have already mentioned. She told me that Herbert was still alive living in an old peoples home,
and so I went to see him at The Hollies, Normanby Road, Scunthorpe. It was a cold day but he was out in the garden
warming his hands in front of a brazier they had set up for him. I left with the impression that they were very kind to him at The Hollies.
He gave me a lot of information about the family, some of which I wrote down in a notebook, but to my regret a lot of
what he said I have forgotten or only half remember. I wish I had written much more down and taken a photo of him. I
was really intent on establishing who was who in the family but Herbert also had a lot to tell me about how they lived.
I went back to see him again the next day too to clear up a lot of outstanding points. At the time I wondered whether he
was, very courteously, having a joke on me, an 18 year old student, for example reciting to me the names of his aunt
Polly's 11 children. I have since been able to check much of what he said and he was quite remarkably accurate. He was clearly well in touch with the rest of the family.
I never saw Herbert again and he died in 1965. His brother Charlie died in 1941 when he was run over by a bus in Hull.
Neither Herbert nor Charlie married. Their elder sister Ethel Mary married someone called Wilkinson. There was also a
younger sister Annie who lived for only 5 weeks. Incidentally, I had the impression that Herbert worked as a labourer on the roads; maybe he did some casual work when he could.Best wishes,
Roger PorkessA little more of background … from Roger Porkess:
The story has been handed down that the Porkess name arrived in Lincolnshire when a foreign seaman was washed up on Killingholme Marsh unable to say anything but his name.
If that is true, it was a long time ago, but there would seem never to have been more than a single extended family,
moving about approximately every 100 years. In the 1500s we were around Searby (the earliest spelling is the rather
attractive Porcasse), in the 1600s around Normamby-le-Wold, moving to Marsh Chapel for the 1700s and then to
Broughton and nearby for the 1800s. My great grandfather, Uriah Porkess, moved to Grimsby where he was a builder. By the next generation our branch was very spread out.
Our branch seems to have lost contact with the rest of the family after Uriah went to Grimsby. Uriah married into a
strong methodist family (Wilkin) and all the family stories that came down referred to them. His 4 sons all became
professional people, William a clergyman in the United States, John (my grandfather) a company director, Frank a
cathedral organist and Walter, briefly, an officer in the Royal Flying Corps before being killed in the First World War.
Meeting Herbert was a very enlightening experience for me, showing me the chance circumstances that frame our lives and I have often told people about him.
There are now only 5 people who spell the name our way: myself, my wife, our younger daughter, (our other daughter is
now married but still uses Porkess as a professional name), our son and the widow of a cousin of my father's, Peggy. I
have everyone accounted for back to the early 1800s but that is where the first loose end occurs. Herbert's great
grandfather was Thomas (1788-1822) and he had a younger brother John (1791-1838) who married Dinah Carline in
1815 at Barnetby-le-Wold and they had a son David, who was the father of a daughter, Sarah Ann (b1841); it is not
clear whether he was married to her mother, Eliza Robinson. I have found no further trace of them. Nor do I know whether John and Dinah had any further children. Dinah, by then a widow, remarried in 1840 in Scawby.
There are a few people in and around London called Porcas. This branch has been well researched and seems to
emanate form no more than 2 families in about 1800 and perhaps 1 the previous generation. It remains my hope to find
that one of us went from Lincolnshire to London and started this line. (There are some likely candidates.) There have
also been branches in South Lincolnshire in the 1600s and in the North East in the 1800s. I am sure these are connected to us but need to prove the links.
A point on which you might help. Canada seems to have held a strong attraction for the family. Herbert told me that the
3 brothers William, John and David all set off for Canada (I guess about 1840) but they were so seasick going down the
North Sea that they got off when the boat got to the south coast and travelled back to Lincolnshire. However, David did
subsequently go to Canada for a time and Charles Henry was born there. Then David's youngest son, another David,
also went to Canada but in his case the law was after him for poaching; Herbert said the police arrived on the quayside
in Liverpool just as the boat was pulling out. Would I be right in surmising that skilled tradesmen were able to make very good money in Canada at that time?
The spelling Porkess would seem to originate with Robert Fell Porkess, one of Herbert's great grandfather Thomas's
elder brothers. He had a shop in Burgh-on-Bain and whenever his name comes up it is spelt this way, so I conclude that he learnt how to read and write and defined the spelling of the name.Roger Porkess.

The Redskins Training Camp, Richmond-bound in 2013
Date published: 6/11/2012
THE WASHINGTON Redskins may be named for the U.S. capital and they may play in Maryland but "we consider them a Virginia company," said Gov. Bob McDonnell. Considering last Wednesday's announcement, he's justified in making that claim.
The 'Skins said they'll be keeping their corporate headquarters in Ashburn; in fact, they'll be upgrading and expanding their presence there with a $30 million investment. What's more, in a smart marketing ploy, they're moving their training camp, beginning in 2013, to an as-yet-to-be identified location in Richmond.
Why the Virginia capital? Old-school coaches--and that perfectly describes Mike Shanahan--like to remove their players from the distractions of home and media and take them away to summer camp. The 'Skins have a long and diverse history in this regard. They've traveled as far as Spokane, Washington (1940) and San Diego (1941-1944) for camp. More recently, Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa., hosted them (1963-1994) as did Frostburg University in Frostburg, Md., (1995-1999).
But since 2003, the three-week camp has been held at Redskins Park in Ashburn. Now, the team is ready for a change, and moving the camp deeper into Virginia will strengthen the team's ties to its Old Dominion fans in a way that moving the camp closer to Ravens, Steelers, or Eagles territory never would.
Support for the 'Skins is strong in Virginia, particularly in the Hampton Roads area. Keeping that fan base clearly is in the team's best interest. But of course, the Richmond deal benefits Virginia's economy as well: Estimates are that the three-week camp will generate $5 million to $6 million in economic activity for Richmond.
To seal the deal, the state (and local governments) sweetened the pot with a $4 million performance-based grant to the 'Skins, as well as a city-proffered $400,000 grant. Loudoun County, too, chips in about $400,000 a year to help the 'Skins keep loving their location.
But that's all relatively small potatoes: The Redskins, one of the richest NFL teams, generates at least $200 million in economic activity each year in the state, and pays some $9.8 million in state and local taxes. That's why it's good business for both to affirm the slogan, "Virginia is for [Redskins] lovers."

For his legions of fans, he was the Peter Pan of pop music, the little boy who refused to grow up. But now he is gone.
Michael Jackson, whose quintessentially American tale of celebrity and excess took him from musical boy wonder to global pop superstar to sad figure haunted by lawsuits and failed plastic surgery, died Thursday afternoon at UCLA Medical Center after arriving in a coma, according to a city official. He was 50 years old.
Jackson was pronounced dead at 1:07 p.m. He had been rushed to the hospital, a six-minute drive from the rented mansion in which he was living, shortly after noon. A hospital spokesman would not confirm reports of cardiac arrest.
At Jackson's peak, he was the biggest star in the world and has sold more than 750 million albums.
From his days as the youngest brother in the Jackson Five to his solo career in the 1980s and early 1990s, Jackson was responsible for a string of hits such as "I Want You Back," "I'll Be There" "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" "Billie Jean" and "Black and White" that exploited his high voice, infectious energy and ear for irresistible hooks.
As a solo performer, Jackson ushered in the age of pop as a global product — not to mention an age of spectacle and pop culture celebrity. His early career with his brothers gave way to a solo act in which he became more character than singer. His sequined glove, his whitened face, his moonwalk dance move became embedded in the cultural firmament.
But after his entertainment career hit high-water marks, it started a bizarre disintegration. His darkest moment came in 2003, when he was indicted on child molesting charges. A young cancer patient claimed the singer had befriended him and then sexually fondled him at his Neverland estate near Santa Barbara, Calif., but Jackson was acquitted on all charges.
Jackson is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.
Michael Joseph Jackson was born in Gary, Ind., on Aug. 29, 1958. The second youngest of six brothers, he began performing professionally with four of them at the age of 5 in a group that their father, Joe, had organized the previous year. In 1968 the group, originally called the Jackson Brothers but now known as the Jackson 5, was signed by Motown Records.
The Jackson 5 was an instant phenomenon. The group's first four singles — "I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save" and "I'll Be There" — all reached No.1 on the pop charts in 1970. And Michael was the center of attention. He handled virtually all the lead vocals, danced with energy and finesse, and displayed a degree of showmanship rare in a performer of any age. The Jackson brothers were soon a fixture on television variety shows.
In 1971, Jackson began recording under his own name, while also continuing to perform and record with his brothers. His recording of "Ben," the title song from a movie about a boy and his homicidal pet rat, was a No.1 hit in 1972.
The brothers left Motown in 1975 and, rechristened the Jacksons, signed to Epic, a unit of CBS Records. Three years later Michael made his movie debut as the Scarecrow in the screen version of the hit Broadway musical "The Wiz."
Jackson's first solo album for Epic, "Off the Wall," released in 1979, yielded four No.1 singles and sold 7 million copies. "Thriller," released in 1982, became the best-selling album of all time and helped usher in the music video age. The video for the album's title track, directed by John Landis, was a horror-movie pastiche that was more of a mini-movie than a promotional clip and helped make MTV a household name.
Jackson's next album, "Bad," released in 1987, sold 8 million copies and produced five No.1 singles and another state-of-the-art video, this one directed by Martin Scorsese. It was a huge hit by almost anyone else's standards, but an inevitable letdown after "Thriller."
It was at this point that Jackson's bizarre private life began to overshadow his music. He would release several more albums and occasionally stage elaborate concert tours. And he would never be too far from the public eye. But it would never again be his music that kept him there.
Even with the millions Jackson earned, his eccentric lifestyle took a severe financial toll. In 1987 Jackson paid about $17 million for a 2,600-acre ranch in Los Olivos, 125 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Calling it Neverland after the mythical island of Peter Pan, he outfitted the property with amusement-park rides, a zoo and a 50-seat theater, at a cost of $35 million, according to reports, and the ranch became his sanctum.
But Neverland, and Jackson's lifestyle, were expensive to maintain. A forensic accountant who testified at Jackson's molestation trial in 2005 said that Jackson's annual budget in 1999 included $7.5 million for personal expenses and $5 million to maintain Neverland. By at least the late 1990s, he began to take out huge loans to support himself and pay debts.
Last year Neverland narrowly escaped foreclosure after Jackson defaulted on $24.5 million he owed on the property. A real estate investment company bought the note and put the title for the property into a joint venture with Jackson.
The child molestation trial attracted media from around the world to watch as Jackson, wearing a different costume each day, appeared in a small courtroom in Santa Maria, Calif., to listen as a parade of witnesses spun a sometimes-incredible tale.
The case ultimately turned on the credibility of Jackson's accuser, a 15-year-old who said the defendant had gotten him drunk and molested him several times. The boy's younger brother testified that he had seen Jackson fondling his brother on two other occasions.
After weeks of testimony, the jury returned not-guilty verdicts on all 14 counts against Jackson: four charges of child molesting, one charge of attempted child molesting, one conspiracy charge and eight possible counts of providing alcohol to minors.
After his trial, Jackson largely left America for Bahrain, where he was the guest of a royal family member.

First of all you might even wonder what a zine is! Our Cherry has lovingly put together a zine to explain. You might like to print it out and distribute it to your friends, here is a —> LINK and in brief:
" A zine (pronounced zeen like magazine) is most commonly a handmade, photocopied (or otherwise cheaply produced) small circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images."
So a zinefest brings together makers of zines to display and sell their work – zine prices tend to cover the cost of production and are a labour of love, not a for-profit business.
Often zinefests also include talks, displays and workshops.

Marriage & Premarriage Counseling
Marriage Counseling
Ideally, the time to seek marriage counseling is when you are experiencing significant distress in your relationship. For some couples, it may feel like they cannot have a normal conversation that does not become an argument, while others do not communicate at all and are closed off from each other. For some couples, marriage counseling, in conjunction or following individual counseling, is needed to work through past and present issues of trauma, betrayal, grief and loss, control, and alcohol and substance use.
It is never too soon or too late to seek marriage counseling. C
oming for marriage counseling is a big step and takes courage. Please know that you are not alone in your relationship or marital difficulties. Most of us have not had the models of healthy relationships and have not necessarily developed the skills needed to sustain and maintain our marriages. If fact, many couples need training in understanding why and how they are being triggered by their spouse and vice versa, education and practice on naming emotions and assertively and respectfully communicating their needs and dreams behind their conflict, and active and empathic listening.
Premarriage Counseling
Engaged couples can easily get caught up in wedding preparations while not attending to expectations of marriage and considering how your history and expectations of family of origin, communication, conflict resolution, values, religion, sexual relationships, and children all play into your transition from engaged couple to newlyweds and beyond transitions.
Premarriage Counseling can help
examine and assess what ghosts, triggers, strengths, expectations, communication patterns, and guidelines you each bring to your future marriage. You can use premarriage counseling to help you make thoughtful decisions about your relationship before or after engagement, and help improve your own communication and conflict resolution skills.
Remarriage Counseling for the Widowed or Divorced
Remarriage Counseling is seriously advisable for any couple with one partner widowed or divorced to prior to a second marriage. Unfortunately, remarriage has a higher divorce rate of 60% compared to first marriages (40 to 45%) (Falke & Larson, 2007). Research has examined the factors which may play a role in the higher divorce rates into remarriages. Remarriage preparation and counseling is helpful to
examine and assess what continuing bonds, expectations, communication patterns, and guidelines you each bring to your future marriage.
Counseling involves communicating more about step-parenting, future children together, financial and estate plans and expectations, attachments to former or late in-laws, attachments to former or deceased spouses, and processing guilt and shame due to remarriage, widow/erhood, and divorce.
The ultimate goal of remarriage counseling is to help you assess your remarriage readiness, compatibility for marriage, and to identify areas of strength and vulnerability you bring to this relationship.
Three Exceptions to Marriage or Couples Counseling
It needs to be communicated that there are three circumstances when marriage or couples counseling is contraindicated.
If one of you is
currently involved in an extramarrital affair
, and/or not willing to disclose to your partner of your past or current affairs or abuse choices (e.g. gambling), marriage counseling is not what you need first. I will not become a co-conspirataor by being part of your omission or lying to your spouse. Instead, I would refer you for individual counseling to work through your reasons for holding back, support to become more stable, improved empathy and perspective-taking in how your choices impact others, and support to communicate this to your spouse or partner.
Marriage counseling is contraindicated in marriages or relationships in which there is
physical and/or sexual domestic abuse, and/or moderate and severe emotional abuse
. I will assess for this for every couple. Safety for the victim spouse and children are of utmost concern, with both the victim and aggressor needing referrals for individual counseling and psychoeducation once safety and stabilization requirements have been reached prior to any potential marriage counseling.
When one or both partners in a marriage or relationship have
addictions to drugs, alcohol, sex, porn, gambling, and other process addictions
, a counselor has to assess the couples counseling readiness of each partners in the relationship before moving onto the couples counseling portion of the therapy. It is difficult to work with actively using addict couples, because the addict is married to the substance or process (e.g. sex), which renders the couples counseling much less effective. Instead, I refer both partners in this relationship for individual counseling and support groups for addiction and codependence or other issues (e.g. trauma) or coordinate with current therapists before moving on with counseling. Couples counseling may move forward on a case-by-case basis for couples with addiction and codependence issues.
The Gottman Method for Couples Therapy
The majority of us could use help of counseling and in-session skill building in improving our marriages and especially remarriages. I hope that helps to normalize your difficulties. The key, of course, is that you recognize when it is time to move beyond recognition and to be motivated for change. I employ Gottman Method therapy for couples because it is evidenced-based on years of research, effective, thorough, and integrative in its assessment and approach.
John Gottman and his University of Washington colleagues developed an algorithm, based on researched observations of couples interractions and physiology that predict a couple's likelihood of divorce with 94% accuracy after just a few minutes (Gottman & Shwartz Gottman, 2016). Gottman used his research to examine what factors allow the "Relationship Masters," which are the couples who do not get divorced, to maintain their relationships overtime. The Gottman Method, a Evidence-Based and Integrative Couples Therapy, deals with your conflict and conflict resolution, including the everyday interactions by building and repairing your interactions, friendship, and shared meaning system.
The Gottman Method is an integrative therapy in that focuses on your emotional regulation patterns, how you think about your relationship, how you talk about your relationship, how you build shared meaning systems and dreams, and assesses your interactional patterns and how your past relationships and primary family into your current marriage (Gottman & Schwartz Gottman, 2016).
The Gottman Method helps couples manage, not necessarily resolve, conflict. Gottman's research demonstrated that conflict is inherent in relationships (Gottman & Schwartz Gottman, 2016). He has also found that 69% of conflicts are perpetual in nature, with only one third of conflicts couples have as actually resolvable. Gottman couples therapy emphasizes how to deal with unsolvable conflicts and solveable conflicts, while working on building appreciation, friendship, and accepting influence from each other.
Christian-Based Marriage Counseling
For those engaged and married couples that are Christian, I am happy to offer you marriage counseling that
integrates both Christian and Gottman marriage counseling principles
, as based on the
"Partners on the Journey"
program, by Dr. Paul T. Ceasar, Ed.D. and Darryl Ducote, L.C.S.W. In addition to these marriage and premarriage program, I am able to use and integrate a Christian-Based Remarriage Program into the Remarriage Counseling for divorced and widowed adults.
I encourage you to

e-mail me
today to take that
leap into action and find the support you are looking
for a better tomorrow with your spouse or partner!

Jamaica Police Stand Down As Residents Of 85 Red Hills Road Their Life On The Line
The scenes were menacing at 85 Red Hills Road on Thursday morning.
A bulldozer operator was twice thwarted in his effort to carry out his job and mow down the homes.
With a small contingent of policemen staring blankly from across the street, the irate residents used a human shield to prevent the operator from wrecking the dwelling houses.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Residents of the informal community which is home to hundreds of persons, staged a protest for the second straight day against the owners of a section of the land, who gave them notice to vacate their homes which were marked to be bulldozed.
Some of the residents have been living in the informal community for upwards of 50 years and have never called anywhere else home.
They demanded the presence of their Member of Parliament, Karl Samuda, who they claim has abandoned them.
"This is my livelihood. This is from where I send my children to go to school. I born and raised here. We would like to know if we are animals," one resident claimed.
The residents seem to a have a fight on their hands as councillor for the Whitehall Division, Lee Clarke said the matter has already been decided in the courts and the Government is powerless to help the protestors.
Clarke rebutted claims by the residents that they were not given enough notice and were unaware that the land had been sold. He said the residents had known about and attended court hearings on the matter and knew beforehand that they would have to vacate the land.
The owners have stated their intention to invest in a shopping plaza.
85 Red Hills Road has been an informal community since the 1960s. Many of the first residents hail from other sections of the Corporate Area and rural Jamaica. Some residents own their own plots.
The plot of land that is the bone of contention lies to the upper eastern corner of the property and houses about 40 families. The original owner inherited the plot from a relative but has since migrated to the United States and had sold the land to an associate.

1971 Lincoln Continental Mark 3 460 V8 from North America
One cool car
Nothing, really. The things that are wrong with it were there when I purchased the car. It has been seriously neglected and has lots of rust, but is complete. It needs to be completely restored.
General Comments:
This Car is absolutely gorgeous. Its low slung, and was designed to cruise. You have to be one cool cat before you dare enter this car. It is black, with red leather interior, and has all the options. I even have the owners manual. I checked the owners manual against the car, and this baby has it all: Power everything, 8 track, auto headlight dimmer, (which still works) cruise control, automatic climate control, A/C, Sure-Track Brake system. This system is supposed to pump the rear brakes so they won't lock up. Not sure how it works, or if it is safe. does anyone know?
This car has 460 Cubic Inches of Detroit Muscle! The carb is huge, and loves the gas! it make 365 horses, although I am not sure whether that is in the crank or wheels.
I have a 65 International Short Bus (Motor home) and the Lincoln is almost as long!
I think that unless I play chicken with a train, I would survive a wreck. This car would hammer almost any new car into the ground.
Like my mom says, its like driving an armchair down the road. This is my favorite vehicle, and I will never part with it. I wonder if I could use this car as my casket when I die...
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 26th March, 2004
14th Jun 2004, 20:43
The 365 HP rating is a "gross rating" - the HP is measured by the manufacturer at the crankshaft, with no air filter, and no accessories (A/C compressor, power steering pump, etc). This test is done low-humidity, 67-degree Fahrenheit air. The engine is at each RPM level to obtain optimum power. Manufacturers used this rating system to achieve high "advertised horsepower" numbers before the '70's gas crunch. In 1971 & 1972 (depending on the manufacturer), the "net rating" system was adopted - HP is measured with the air filter & all accessories & emissions equipment in place, in 72-degree air at higher humidity, to get a more realistic number. Net HP usually works out to around 75% of gross HP, so the way HP is measured today, your Lincoln would rate around 275 HP (which is still damn powerful). Rear-wheel HP is much more variable, and not as easily estimated.

In one of my all-time favorite movies, Field of Dreams, these immortal words were spoken by the legendary outfielder, Shoeless Joe Jackson to a young rookie player, (played by Burt Lancaster) Archibald "Moonlight" Graham, as he was leaving the playing field. Graham had just batted and hit a sacrifice fly ball deep into the outfield to score a run. This was Graham's dream – his only time up to bat.
You see – in real life Graham played college ball at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and in the minor leagues for three years before joining the Giants on May 23, 1905. On June 29, the Giants were the visiting team against the Brooklyn Superbas. For the bottom of the eighth inning, Graham was sent in to play right field, replacing George Browne. In the top of the ninth inning, Graham was on deck when his teammate Claude Elliott flied out resulting in the third and final out. Graham played the bottom of the ninth in right field but never came to bat, and that game turned out to be his only appearance in the major leagues.
After playing in the minor leagues through the 1908 season, Graham completed his medical degree from the University of Maryland in 1908. He obtained his license the following year and began practicing medicine in Chisholm, Minnesota.
"Doc" Graham, as he became known after his career as a ballplayer, served the people of Chisholm for fifty years.
When the star of the film, Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) commented that the baseball career and lifelong dream of Moonlight Graham (Burt Lancaster) had lasted only five minutes and would be considered a tragedy by many people, Doc Graham replied, "Son, if I'd only got to be a doctor for five minutes, now that would have been a tragedy."
Two thoughts flood my soul as I stare at this photo and think of this movie…
1. I was good. God allowed me the privilege of being a good baseball player. I still get goosebumps when I attend a major or minor league game. Heck – I still would willingly grab my glove and run out onto the field if they would just ask me. I loved playing baseball. I loved coaching baseball. I really loved it. But God had other plans for me, and I am SO thankful He did. My life has been so blessed by an amazing wife and three awesome sons. I am filthy rich with quality friendships, and hope that God uses every day I have left on this "field" for His glory. To have ended my life with "He was a great ball player" on my tombstone – would have been a tragedy indeed. We should all take time to continually thank God for His plan and purpose for our lives, for our families and for our marriage. It will change our perspective.
2. Who is the Shoeless Joe in your life? We, men, ALL need cheerleaders. We need other men cheering for us, and telling us "hey kid, you're good" – "you're doing a good job". It is the cry of all of our hearts – to be significant, to live a life that matters. Find a Shoeless Joe, and walk with him. There will be a hole in your soul until you do.
Luv you guys,
