Even though in Florida we get about forty two seconds of Fall total, it is my favorite season. I love decorating the house with all my harvest goodies...I almost have as much as I do for Christmas! And when the humidity leaves the air (the Floridian way of describing Fall), it is time to start thinking of upping your ante in the kitchen. The excuse that it is too hot is no longer relevant and its time to bake!
Pumpkin ice cream is one of my favorites! This no-bake easy Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie gives you a chance hang on to the little summer that we have left.
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon Spice Islands Cinnamon, Ground Saigon*
1/2 teaspoon Spice Islands Ginger, Ground *
1/4 teaspoon Spice Islands Nutmeg, Ground
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
1 prepared pie crust, pastry or graham cracker
Mix pumpkin, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Fold in softened ice cream. Pour mixture into crust. Freeze until firm, a few hours or overnight. Remove from freezer 15 minutes before serving.
TIP: 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice can be substituted for the ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg
Spice Islands are one of my favorite lines of spices. They have a crazy great variety and a fun interactive website that integrates social media platforms with each spice. They also have a ton of recipes that go with each spice. Pin It

The last quarter of 2012 salvaged a degree of optimism in what was otherwise another off year in post-financial-crisis corporate takeovers.
As Bloomberg reported, global mergers and acquisitions rose to their highest level in four years in the fourth quarter, despite ongoing concerns about economic growth in Europe and China, as well as the federal government's "fiscal cliff" battle.1
As one would expect, the technology sector saw similar results, with fourth-quarter deals totaling $59 billion representing the highest level in five quarters.
Optimism is a relative thing, however, and a recent projection by 451 Research Group finds that risk-aversion continues to be a theme for potential acquirers – even among companies with ample cash and a need to push growth higher.2 According to the research firm, that means fewer large acquisitions in the tech sector in 2013 — and more scrutiny for those under consideration.
But that doesn't mean no acquisitions, and the potential for outsized M&A activity in certain tech sectors could present an opportunity for investors of smaller companies targeted by larger firms.
Which sectors? For those, we get a little help from a recent report from Price Waterhouse Coopers that highlighted what could drive a majority of tech deals in 2013. In short, the firm expects cloud software (aka software-as-a-service), mobile devices, analytics and Big Data as fueling current and future M&A growth — and a fundamental shift in deal volumes to software and Internet deals based on these technologies.3
Another focus: security. As 451 Research notes, shared computing resources accessed by employees in different locations and different devices has put a premium on correct identity.
This potential move toward more takeovers of smaller public companies in the cloud software, analytics and cyber security industries is the philosophy behind the new Tech Takeout Targets motif, which identifies the stocks of more than 20 companies and places them into a single portfolio.
While there's no guarantee any of these names will be snapped up anytime soon – if ever – investors may be intrigued enough by an opportunity to inspect what may be tech's hottest areas this year.

To learn about how to be a friend and how to know the qualities of a friend.
It's important to learn skills associated with developing friendships at an early age. Friendships help people learn about new ideas, deal with problems, cope with stress, and feel good about themselves. Some children have these skills well developed by the time they enter school. Others need help; they might hit another child or knock down their building blocks because they do not know how to demonstrate that they want to be friends. To develop friendships, children need to work on the essential skills of sharing, listening, and cooperating.
Write the words Sharing, Listening, and Cooperating in large print on the chalkboard. Ask students to explain what these three words mean. Next to each, list students' suggested meanings in two columns-I) having a friend, and 2) being a friend.
Using an issue they can relate to, discuss with students how shar-ing, listening, and cooperating are essential to getting along to-gether (examples: taking turns with playground equipment; helping each other with a class assignment; talking with a friend who is upset)
Chalkboard, pictures depicting the qualities of sharing, listening, and cooperating.
Teacher Tips
• Students initially might be reluctant to discuss issues such as how to be a friend. They may remain silent because they are embarrassed to try to put their thoughts about friendship into words, or because it is a bigger risk than they are willing to take. Be prepared to suggest ideas and examples to get and keep the discussion going.

Editor's Note: Adonia sailed its final voyage for P&O Cruises in February 2018 after which it was handed over to Azamara and rebranded as Azamara Pursuit.
The smallest ship of the P&O Cruises fleet, Adonia was named, or rather, re-named, in May 2011. The ship was actually built in 2001 as R8, the eighth in a series of vessels commissioned by the now-defunct Renaissance Cruises. In its time, Adonia has sailed both as Minerva 2 for Swan Hellenic and Royal Princess for Princess Cruises.
Adonia's seven sisters are scattered across the fleets of Oceania Cruises, Azamara Club Cruises and Princess Cruises, all lines that have made adaptations of their own to these eight identical vessels. But some of the original features in the series were so strong that most lines, including P&O Cruises, have kept them: a sweeping staircase opening grandly into the lobby, an elegant library with a faux fireplace and trompe d'oeil ceiling and space aft of the sun deck for two alternative dining venues with sweeping views over the ship's wake.
What's significant about Adonia for P&O Cruises is the fact that it's a ship going back to the line's Middle England roots, rather than trying to be something flashy and feature-packed like Azura, the last new-build for the company. On Adonia, there's ballroom-dancing, afternoon tea, thought-provoking lectures and no kids. This is an adults-only ship, like Arcadia and, from November 2011, Oriana, with grownup entertainment.
The ship underwent a makeover before its U.K. debut in the Bahamas. Royal Princess got the P&O Cruises treatment and emerged with the trademark yellow funnel and a few changes to the interiors: a clubby Anderson's lounge, where Princess had a casino; two beautiful, new alternative restaurants; and, all-important for British cruisers, a full set of tea-making equipment for the cabins.
The idea is that Adonia will sail longer, more in-depth itineraries than the standard range of ex-Southampton cruises offered by its big sisters, calling at out-of-the-way ports and offering a wide range of shore excursions. It's true that, on my Norwegian fjords cruise, there was a particularly wide choice of tours, given the small size of the ship, with an enthusiastic take-up.
When a small ship works well, there's a marvellous camaraderie among passengers, and between passengers and crew. Certainly, the service on my cruise was outstanding. The crew seemed content, and many went out of their way to offer service beyond the call of duty. Waiters learn passengers' names quickly, while bartenders make time to chat. Yes, there were a couple of niggles; some of the entertainment (quizzes and deck parties, in particular) was a bit laboured, and not all passengers were happy with the presentation of their cabins. But generally, Adonia seems almost the perfect size of ship: big enough to have plenty of facilities, but small enough to feel like home.

Affin Hwang World Series – Global Income Fund
The Fund aims to provide investors with regular income through investments in global fixed income instruments.
|Fund Category
|Bond feeder (Wholesale)
|Base Currency
|Fund Type
|Launch Date
|23 May 2016
|Investors' Profile
|The Fund is suitable for you, if you:
|Investment Strategy
|The Fund will be investing a minimum of 80% of the Fund's NAV into the Target Fund and a maximum of 20% of the Fund's NAV into money market instruments, fixed deposit with Financial Institution and/or liquid assets.
The Manager may take temporary defensive positions that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal strategy by reducing its investment into the Target Fund and raise liquidity levels of the Fund during adverse market conditions to protect the Unit Holders' interest. In raising the Fund's liquidity levels, we may also invest into collective investment schemes that are able to meet this objective.
The Manager may substitute the Target Fund with another fund that has a similar objective with the Fund, if, in our opinion, the Target Fund no longer meets the Fund's investment objective. However, this is subject to the Unit Holder's approval before any such changes are made.
The Manager may use derivatives, such as foreign exchange forward contracts and cross currency swaps, mainly for hedging purposes. Cross currency swaps and/or foreign exchange forward contracts may be used to hedge the principal and/or the returns of the foreign currency exposure of any of the Class(es) against the Base Currency of the Fund. The employment of derivatives under these circumstances is expected to reduce the impact of foreign currency movements on the Fund's NAV, irrespective of the currency classes.
While the hedging strategy will assist with mitigating the potential foreign exchange losses by the Fund, any potential gains from the hedging strategy will be capped as well. The Fund may also employ derivatives for investment purposes to enhance the returns of the Fund by taking a view on the underlying asset or currency, and establish a long position to gain a specific underlying exposure. The Fund may also employ derivatives for investment purposes to enhance the returns of the Fund by taking a view on the underlying asset or currency and establish a long position to gain a specific underlying exposure. The types of derivatives envisaged for investment purposes include forwards and swaps which are over-the-counter or traded on centralized exchanges.
|Distribution Policy
|Subject to the availability of income, the Fund endeavours to distribute income on a quarterly basis, after the end of its first financial year.
|Asset Allocation
|The Fund's asset allocation range is as follows:-
|Minimum Initial Investment
|Minimum Additional Investment
|Minimum holdings of units
|Sales Charge per Unit
|Up to 3.00% of the initial offer price of a Class during the initial offer period, thereafter, on the NAV per Unit of a Class.
|Annual Management Fee
|Up to 1.45% of the NAV of the Fund per annum.
|Trustee Fee
|Up to 0.06% per annum of the NAV of the Fund (excluding foreign custodian fees and charges), and is calculated using the Fund's Base Currency (before deducting the management fee and trustee fee).
|Transfer Fee
|A RM5.00 transfer fee will be levied for each transfer of Units.
|Switching Fee
|1) Switching between Class(es) of the Fund
You are entitled to two (2) free switching transactions per calendar year per account. A switching fee of up to 1% of the NAV per Unit of the Class switched out from will be charged for any further switching transactions.
2) Switching from this Fund into other funds managed by us
A switching fee of up to 1% of the NAV per Unit of the Class switched out from the Fund will be charged within the first six (6) months from the earliest date of your investment in the Fund. After the expiry of the first six (6) months, if the sales charge of the fund (or its class) that you intend to switch into is higher than the Sales Charge paid for the Fund, you will need to pay the difference between the intended fund (or its class) and the Fund. Conversely, no sales charge will be imposed on the intended fund (or its class) if it is less than or equal to the Sales Charge paid for the Fund. It is important to note that you are not entitled to any refund of the Sales Charge paid on the Fund, which exceeds that imposed on the intended fund (or its class).
There is a minimum number of Units that are required to be held within the Fund after a switching transaction is carried out. The minimum holding of Units vary between Classes.

I may have posted this audio fragment of Peter J. Carroll's Liber Null and Psychonaut before but my next post will be a longer essay dealing with a question sent to me about the Lovecraft Mythos and it's use in magical work so this is a excellent prologue to that. It serves as an introduction to the underlying philosophical symmetry between Lovecraft's universe and the chaos magic world view, though it does not deal with Lovecraft in particular. Once you understand Lovecraft's rational materialism and the mythos as the horror of discovering man's insignificance and meaninglessness in reality the following becomes illuminating:

Yesterday's exercise asked what negative thought patterns I needed to squelch. I'm not going to get too deep here, but I definitely have a problem with negative self-talk. Even as I've been doing this series, I've been thinking things like "I won't be able to finish this" or "this is just another project that I'm going to start and fail." Nice, huh? The second part of the exercise asked what I would do to replace these thoughts with positive, inspirational thoughts. I'm learning Scriptures, especially those about the power of words and the mind, so that's one way I'm going to get the negative thoughts out of my head. Another thing I'm going to do is just to remind myself that it is a slow journey and just because I'm not always 100% on point doesn't mean that I need to give up! How do you guys replace negative thoughts and self-talk?
Today's chapter is interesting to me because it's something that Will and I have talked about doing a few times but haven't done yet. Paine says that in order to make sure your goals have purpose and weight to them, they need to be written down. She links to goal-setting worksheets from Project Management Skills and Cigna Behavioral Health (too lazy to link tonight. Maybe another goal of mine should be not to wait until close to bedtime to write…). She also suggests putting the goals in a conspicuous location and reviewing them often. Coincidentally, this is the exercise for today, so I know what we'll be doing after work tomorrow!

Council tax payments make up a significant proportion of the average household's monthly expenditure. In some cases, a household's council tax payment can represent about 10 per cent of its total outgoings. But if your home is in the wrong council tax band, then it's possible that you may be paying far too much every month and you could be in line for a refund. If you think that you are paying too much council tax each month, what can you do about it?
What is council tax?
Any home that is classed as a residential property and a primary residence is subject to council tax – that includes houses, flats, permanent caravans (statics) and even houseboats.
Council tax is used to fund your local authority, police and fire service expenditure. That includes your county and district or unitary authorities as well as your parish council.
The amount of council tax you will actually pay depends on the value of your home. Every property in England and Scotland is put in one of eight council tax bands from A to H with the amount owed rising with each letter.
The council tax was introduced in 1993 to replace the ill-fated poll tax. And in the 23 years since its introduction, the average council tax bill has more than doubled.
Is your home in the wrong band?
The vast majority of homes in England and Scotland were 'banded' when the council tax was launched in 1993 and they have remained in the same band ever since. That means that while your house's value may have changed dramatically over the last 23 years, the valuation given to it almost a quarter of century ago has not. But the change in value will not have been reflected in the amount that you pay in council tax.
You might think that the rise in house prices over those 23 years means that your house should be in a higher band but this is not necessarily true. If your home's value has risen by less than the national average – and that is more likely away from London and the South East – then there is an equally high likelihood that you are paying too much in council tax.
Am I paying too much
This will depend on how much council tax is being charged in any particular area. For example, if your home is in band F but should actually be in band E because the average house price rise has been lower than the national average, you might be paying as much as 20 per cent more than you should be.
What can I do?
The first thing to do is to research whether any application to have your home rebanded is likely to be successful. First of all, check which band your home is in on the government's website. This should also tell you whether your home's banding has been reassessed since 1993. Finally, check the banding of other homes close to yours, particularly those that are of about the same age and size.
You should also research what the value of your house was in 1991 when the first banding assessment was carried out. If it was in the wrong band then, it is likely to still be wrong and you may have grounds for an appeal.
A house price calculator will help you decide whether the original estimate was correct – many of these will allow you to research historic house prices. You'll need to take into account whether your house has been improved in some way including the addition of an extension or a loft conversion.
If your banding is wrong
The first thing to do is contact the regional Valuation Officer. The officer is duty bound to consider your reasons for an appeal and you will be told in writing of their decision. If you are not happy with the outcome, you can appeal to an independent valuations tribunal.
Other ways of reducing your council tax
You may be able to apply to your council for a reduction in your council tax if one of the following apply:
- You live alone and are the only adult living in the property
- You have a physical or mental disability
- The property is currently empty
- You are student, live with other students or in a house where only one adult is in full-time employment.

The official 2014 data packaging recycling was published on 31st March 2015. This shows 842kt of plastic packaging recycled in 2014, around 10% higher than the required target. This also means a substantial tonnage will be carried over towards 2015 targets. There has been a continued increase in recent years with 640kt plastic packaging recycled in 2012 and 714kt recycled in 2013. Based on household plastic collection levels, it is expected that approximately 55% of the total was captured from households, and the remaining amount from C&I sources. The data also allows an assessment of material recycled in the UK vs export. It shows 328kt (39%) reprocessed in the UK and 514kt (61%) exported for reprocessing.

Seems like we were checking out the photos of Fall/Winter 2013 campaigns just a couple of weeks ago. But time passes by so fast, that it is sometimes incredibly hard to keep up with it. I still remeber the hot sunny days of my working routine, when I was looking through the images of Resort 2014 collections. Admiring and drooling over the creativity of the fashion designers, I kept marking my favorite outfits. Well, I didn't really have to, since the ad campaigns will highlight the best looks one more time. Therefore, I don't have to worry about a way to remember all the ensembles that I like. And to a great suprprise, Gucci featured exactly those items that I was obsessed with in the Resort 2014 campaign.
Gucci Resort 2014 Ad Campaign: Andreea Diaconu
Gucci tapped Andreea Diaconu for its Resort 2014 campaign. Unlike the Spring/Summer 2014 collection, which to me lacks fashion taste and consistence, the Resort one is quite adorable. And the ads appear to be very engaging and beautiful as well.
Mert & Marcus phtographed the beauty posing against a very romantic background. A cliff with the sunset sky at the back looks super appealing. This is the scene most of the girls want to be proposed at. Maybe, this is the reason that Frida Giannini decided to add a male model to accompany Andrea. Adrien Sahores plays a role of a handsome and brutal man – and this amplua fits him a lot.
Andrea Diaconu rocked stylish and very hot outfits designed by the Italian brand. Everything from the clothing pieces to the pair of gold ankle straps and the metallic clutch in silver, scream out about luxury and high style. Check out the gallery to see a couple more of the fashionable images.

Is Your Email Spying On You?
Can this be true?
You bet. Spymail is not new. A decade ago, Hewlett Packard found itself snared in legal actions when it bugged emails to help it find who was leaking board level secrets.
Marketers in turn quickly jumped on spy tools that let them track who their emails. The preferred tool of choice for marketers is to embed tiny images in an email. The sender then gets a report back about when and where the image opened, meaning when the email was opened.
Legitimate marketing companies involved in tracking tools include: Streak, Yesware, Mandrill, MailChimp, Postmark, TinyLetter, Sidekick, and MixMax.
Morey Haber, a vice president at security company BeyondTrust, elaborated: "Spymail is not new. It was originally developed and has become acceptable as a marketing tool to target prospects via email communications. The dark side is that anyone can use these tools to conduct malicious activities."
The dark side lately is becoming darker as more criminals have recognized the value of compiling detailed information dossiers on executives.
That's why you want to begin thinking on a defense strategy. If you haven't been a victim of spymail yet, you will be. Unless you take concrete defensive steps.
Everton explained how the spymail threat to traveling executives works: "Each time a traveling executive opens spymail, they reveal a wealth of private information — their current location, the time of day they read their email, the hotel at which they are staying. Scammers can use this information to craft believable phishing emails or phone calls, targeting the executive or their unsuspecting colleagues back at the home office. Because spymail looks like any other email, the receiver is unable to determine which emails are tracked with the invisible extension, making cybersecurity on the road much more difficult to manage."
Here's a vivid case in point. Imagine your CEO – really, a criminal masquerading as him – fires off an email, "urgently need $1 million US in good faith money transferred to XYZ at such and such bank in Moscow."
"Can't tell you more. Email here is bugged. Please proceed with haste. My life depends on this."
Before you say no way, what if you know the CEO is in fact in Russia, that he may be meeting – for legitimate reasons – with known Russian hackers, and there certainly are loud questions asked about the ethics of the local players. And what if $1 million is not that big a sum to your company?
Is the money transferred? Just maybe.
Also know that it is not just criminals and marketers using spymail. Multiple experts said there is substantial evidence that many nation state security organizations are using spymail to track executive targets.
That could mean you.
Buckle up because matters may get worse. "it is safe to assume the methods and techniques used will only become more of a problem and a higher risk for organizations," said Haber.
How to fight back?
The first, easy step is to set email to not open images without authorization. By default many email apps automatically open images. It's a small hassle to have to okay every image. But do it. You probably won't miss the pictures.
In GMail, click the gear (top right). Scroll to SETTINGS. A few lines down, you will see IMAGES. The default is "always display external images."
Switch to "Ask Before Displaying External Images."
Google, by the way, said it has built in protections: "To help load images safely, images go through Google's image proxy servers and are transcoded before they're delivered.
This makes images safer because:
- Senders can't use image loading to get information like your IP address or location.
- Senders can't use the image to set or read cookies in your browser.
- Gmail checks the images for known viruses or malware."
Multiple experts said they wanted still more security for executives and know that many corporate email systems now are building in spymail filters, to strip out tracking images before the email arrives in an executive's inbox or, in some cases, to block the email entirely.
Word of advice is: ask IT about filters in your system. Use them if available.
Also be very cautious about opening emails especially nowadays, especially when traveling. If you don't have to open an email, don't.
Can you just ignore the tracking image problem for now? Bad idea. The potential really is just now coming into focus.
Probably we ain't seen nothing yet – and that is very bad news indeed.

Listeners often call in during the show and ask for information to help them obtain CDs. This page will provide some helpful information for some of the more difficult-to-obtain material.
The first thing we recommend you try is your local independent music store. They will usually be able to obtain any recent releases on domestic labels, and many foreign labels as well. Get the artist's name and CD title from the playlist, or from the Artist page on this blog; if you need more information, leave a comment in the blog and I'll get it to you. Helping people buy CDs by artists I love is one of the great joys of this program!
It's always great to buy CDs directly from the artist. They get a bigger cut that way, so it's a more direct kind of support for the work they do. I'll try to post contact information for artists with independent labels, so you can order CDs directly from them. Again, if you're looking for one in particular, post a comment in the blog and I'll reply with a link.
If those options don't work out for you, here are some Internet sources:
Record Labels:
Compass Records Group – includes Green Linnet, a major label for Celtic music for many years. They offer free MP3s every week!
Greentrax – More great Scottish music; we feature a lot of Greentrax artists on Oak & Thorn.
Shanachie – Label for many of the groundbreaking bands of the 70s and 80s: Clannad, Planxty, Steeleye Span, Silly Wizard… Not always the highest quality CDs, but the music is irreplaceable.
Temple Records – Scottish label for Battlefield Band and many others. MP3s available on their site, as well as CDs.
Other sources:
Celtic Music USA – Distributes CDs from many labels, including several that are hard to find in the US: MacMeanmna, Whirlie, Keltia, SAIN, etc.
Mad for Trad – For Irish traditional music, also lots of tutorials for those of you who want to play as well as listen!
Foot Stompin' Celtic Music – Great source for traditional music, including a lot of historical material. I like the way they index by style or instrument. Their e-mail newsletter keeps me current on releases and events in Scotland, and their forums are lively.
Coda on the Mound – I met Dougie at Celtic Connections 2007, where he has the concession for CD sales. Nice guy, very knowledgeable about the music and the personalities. If you're in Edinburgh, look him up!
MusicScotland – Haven't used them myself but they sometimes list hard-to-find CDs.
tradmusic.com – Found this off Martin Hayes' Website – looks like a lot of useful information as well as a CD source.

For me, one of the most enjoyable aspects of transcribing Henry's diaries has been researching the backgrounds of the people he names – his family, friends and business associates. Getting to know the Fothergills' history animated Henry's words and sparked my imagination. I started to see the family as characters in a novel rather than real people experiencing real events (I think I've read too much Alexander Cordell!). So who exactly were the Fothergills and what role did they play in Glamorgan's industrial development?
Fothergill interests in the South Wales iron trade began with Henry's grandfather, Richard (1758-1821). He left the family seat at Lowbridge, Westmorland to become a builder in Clapham, South London. After marrying Elizabeth Rowland in 1788, he moved his family to Caerleon, living for a time at Back Hall. Following his ironmaking success at Pont Hir, he became a partner in numerous other works including Tredegar, Sirhowy and Penydarren.
Richard and Elizabeth had 3 sons; Richard II, Thomas and Rowland. In 1846, following an acrimonious court case, his son Rowland became owner-manager of Abernant and Llwydcoed Ironworks (also known as Upper Works) in Aberdare. He modernised both works and increased output until Aberdare Iron Co. became a major supplier of wrought iron rails and chairs for the rapidly expanding railway network.
Meanwhile, Richard II, who married Charlotte Elderton in Lambeth, London in 1822, inherited Lowbridge House, Westmorland. They went on to have 11 children – 4 boys and 7 girls: Richard III (1822-1903), Charlotte Elizabeth (1824-1907), Elizabeth (1825-1859), Mary Anne (1826-1851), Harriet (1828-1873), Martha Isabella (1830-34), Emma (1831-1914), George (1833-1915), Agnes (1834-1850 or 52), Henry, diary author, (1836-1914) and Thomas Rowland (1839-1909).
Richard III, the eldest son, was apprenticed to his Uncle Rowland to learn everything he could about the technical and business aspects of ironmaking. When Rowland retired to Hensol Castle in 1848, he left Richard III as overall manager with his 3 younger brothers working with him – Tom and George at Taff Vale Ironworks and Henry at Llwydcoed and Abernant.
Henry's diaries begin in 1860 when, at the age of 24, he moves from Venallt, in the Neath Valley (the Fothergills owned Venallt Ironworks in Cwmgwrach) to Canal (Head) House. Henry gives detailed descriptions of the renovations he makes to his new home, including the addition of an aviary where he indulged what was to be a life-long passion for collecting exotic birds. Despite the move, he maintained close ties with his colleagues and friends in the Neath Valley, such as the Miers family of Aberdulais Forge.
By 1860, Henry's older brother, Richard III, had married twice. His first wife was Elizabeth Lewis, daughter of Edward Lewis, canal agent, and sister to James Lewis of Plas-draw. James Lewis and his brother Evan became good friends with Henry. James, a coal master, bought Aberdare Iron Company following its liquidation in 1875, although he soon closed the ironworks to concentrate on its associated coal mines. He also took over Abernant House when Richard III retired to Sion House, Tenby.
Elizabeth died in 1849, soon after the birth of their daughter, also called Elizabeth, who later became the 3rd wife of Charles Kemys-Tynte (1822-1891) of Cefn Mably.
In 1850, Richard III married Mary Roden (1833-1909), sister of William Sargeant Roden, a Staffordshire ironmaster, and Richard Brown Roden, of Pontypool and Abersychan ironworks. The couple went on to have 6 children: Richard Thomas Fothergill (1852-1877); Mary Roden Fothergill (1853-1889); Helen Constance F. Fothergill (1855-1907); Ada Francis Fothergill (1858-1939); Sydney Roden Fothergill (1864-1943) and Theodore Roden Fothergill (1869-1895). They lived at Abernant House, which Henry often visited. Originally built by James Birch, one of the founders of Abernant Ironworks, but extended and modernised by Richard, Abernant House later became Aberdare General Hospital.
Mary Roden came from an illustrious family of Staffordshire ironmasters. Her mother was Ann Brown – sister to Thomas Brown, managing director of Ebbw Vale Company, and daughter to Richard Brown. The latter made the mechanism for Trevithick's locomotive in 1803 and also established successful iron bar mills at Nantyglo.
Mary Roden's brothers were also influential ironmasters. William Sergeant Roden (1829-1882) became a partner in the Shelton Bar Iron Company, Stoke-on Trent in 1857 and moved with his family into Etruria Hall, former home of Josiah Wedgewood.
Richard Brown Roden (RBR) married Henry's sister, Emma Fothergill in 1855 in Westmorland. They had one child, Emmeline Roden Fothergill born in 1856. Emma petitioned RBR for judicial separation in April 1869 citing RBR's adultery with their parlour maid, Mary Pritchard. The case was dismissed in May 1872. Emma's brothers seemed to be very supportive of her, accompanying her to court in Westminster. RBR later moved to Corsica to oversee work at the Argentine Silver and Lead Mines at Calvi when his works manager died. Finding the mines overemployed, he discharged some of the workers. This may have been the motive for his murder – he was shot in the back while leaving his residence, allegedly by a disgruntled former mine carpenter, in March 1887.
The Fothergills were also close friends and business associates of the Crawshays of Cyfrarthfa. Henry's diary [D553/2, pp.93-94] contains a description of the celebrations surrounding the double wedding of Henry's brothers George and Tom to Isabel and Laura Crawshay respectively (Francis Crawshay's daughters):
Thurs 10 April The Wedding Day!! Crowds of people about & lots of flags flying triumphal arches etc. We drove over to the Forest after an early breakfast, found Uncle Roland arrived we all started for Llantwit church, a mile and half off amid immense cheering, 6 carriages altogether, 4 horses in some, 6 bridesmaids in one including Helen Crawshay, she looked a perfect little angel so beautiful and fair in her white dress etc. everything passed off well at the church. I shook hands with Laura & gave Isabel a kiss of congratulations. Then back to the Forest amid tremendous cheering, splendid breakfast & 2 magnificent wedding cakes. No speeches, only Uncle Roland proposed health of brides & bridegrooms to which George responded in short but telling words. They all four left amid a shower of old shoes. I raffled my musical box 10/- per share & got #17.10 for it. Mr C took 10 shares & won the prize….
George and Isabel had 7 children. Tragically, Isabel died of scarlet fever two days after their son John Rowland was born in 1876. Their oldest son George Algernon Fothergill (1869-1945) became a renowned artist whose work is exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery.
Tom, Laura and their family spent much of their time in Europe, eventually settling in Switzerland, where Tom died of a heart attack while out walking in the Roseg Valley, Pontresina, in 1909.
Henry spent a lot of time with Francis Crawshay and his family, frequently corresponding and making regular visits to Treforest, Barry Island (where Francis kept his boat) and Bradbourne Hall, Kent (which Francis bought in 1870 and where he died in 1878). It seems Francis had a soft spot for Henry. Ten days after the double wedding, Henry writes:
D553/2, p. 102, Sat. 26 April 1862, letter from Mr. Crawshay from London stating he had had his likeness taken for me purposely (very kind) and suggesting a wife for me, I don't however want one for some six years…
Henry may already have had his own marriage plans, involving Francis' then 12 year old daughter, Helen Christine Crawshay. Henry writes:
D553/2, p. 120/121, Wednesday 28th May 1862, With George and Isabel to call at The Forest about 11 o'clock. Mr C come back from Barry, he not very well. Thinks of going down again on Saturday and asks me to accompany him he most kind to me…
Isabel a long lecture upon to me a most thrilling subject. I gave my best attention to it and intend profiting thereby for the next few years, when I look forward with hope and pleasure unutterable to a perfectly and truly heavenly reward and pray God that I may be so blessed
p.133, Friday 20th June 1862, Found a letter here last night on our arrival to me from Laura of a nature that has completely crushed me down. I feel low, dispirited and perfectly miserable. It was about dear H. and gave me little if any hope of ever being owner of such a precious treasure as she is. Still I will live on hopes. I wrote a long letter in reply to Laura dwelling strongly upon the whole matter and now anxiously await a half expected and half promised letter from Mrs C (as to her C.d.V)[Carte de visite].
p.181, Wednesday 9th July 1862, Gresham Hotel Dublin, Fine & warm, breakfast with strawberries & cream at 8.30.,walked to Post Office found a splendid lot of letters from, dear Mother, Hall, Mrs Crawshay, Stella, De Barry, Adams, half a dozen tradespeople, and a precious one from my own little darling H.C.C. Mrs. C's from London very long interesting & touching most kindly on "the point" I live for..
D553/3, p. 46, Thurs 11th Sept 1862, …Last train to Woodlands. I found Mr Crawshay was coming over to talk to me a bit about Her. He and William did come over to tea but the subject was not touched upon after all. I was on pins all the time.
p.74, Wed 12th Nov 1862, …by last train to The Forrest found George, Isabel, Tom there, we all sat waiting till about 9 o clock, when the coach of 4 horses arrived with Mr and Mrs Crawshay, Francis, Tudor, Helen, Stella and De Barri and all the servants. We welcomed them at the door steps , I had not seen her for more than five months, she looks more perfection than ever, and has grown an inch and a quarter.
p.139, Thurs 15th Jan 1863, Fine-by first train to Woodlands and up again by return train. Tom and Laura well – baby not quite well – had breakfast and returned with a pill stuck tight in my throat, that Laura gave me, about Her , that Mr C had put his veto upon it, there is however plenty of time and in so good a cause with plenty of perseverance and patience I'm sanguine still.
p.154, Wed 4th Feb 1863, …A long and kind letter from Mrs Crawshay The Forest about Her, wanting promise etc etc I replied by Bag to Mrs Crawshay and promised everything she wished, though very hard to do so, indeed terribly hard, how shall I feel next time I see her?
It seems Francis Crawshay refused Henry's proposal and sought assurances that Henry would abide his decision. Perhaps he feared having three Fothergill sons-in-law would threaten the Crawshay dynasty.
Did Henry's disappointment contribute to his decision to leave Aberdare? Or was he just aggrieved, working long hours for little appreciation from his brother, Richard? Did he foresee the collapse in the iron trade, due to the dominance of steel making, which brought about the Company's downfall in 1875? Who was the mysterious 'Jones' and why did he stir up trouble between the four brothers, leaving Richard in sole ownership of the Company in 1864? Could 'Jones' be Henry's code name for Richard himself?
It's clear from reading his diaries that Henry enjoys word games and solving puzzles – it took me a while to decipher the words 'gnittis sliob' until I realised it was actually 'sitting boils' backwards!. He's certainly left me with a lot of questions. Finding the answers is becoming addictive!

Learning how to jump start a car battery isn't difficult, but it can definitely be intimidating for first-timers. Here are some of the reasons why your battery might have died and some tips for jumping starting your battery that will help you get back on the road in no time. [Read more…]
Caring For Your Car in Summer
Before hitting the road this summer, you can take several simple precautions to keep your family safe and save money at the pump. Extreme heat and long drives can be tough on cars. Cracked hoses, leaky radiators, under inflated tires and dirty filters can significantly lower your fuel efficiency, or worse, lead to a total breakdown. [Read more…]
Exhaust Smoke Color Diagnosis: Blue, Black, or White?
Like a patient who exhibits certain symptoms when they're sick, your car has ways of telling you it isn't well. Although most of the time you need a mechanic's tool set and know-how to fix the problem, there are a few initial diagnostic tools which come free to everyone: sight, smell, hearing and feel.
Many underlying engine problems can begin to be solved by making an exhaust smoke color diagnosis. The important thing as a driver is to pay attention to your car's operation and notice if anything seems off. Excessive exhaust smoke means you have an engine issue on your hands, which could be as simple as changing the air filter, or as big as a crack in the engine block itself.
Before you go into panic mode, narrow down the problem according to the color of the smoke. [Read more…]
Fix your ride and protect the environment: every little bit counts!
As we go about our daily routines, many of us consciously make small decisions that we know make a big difference to our environment, like recycling or turning off lights when we leave the room. Every little bit counts but did you know this is especially true when it comes to our vehicles, which emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) when burning fuel?
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, passenger cars and light‐duty trucks produce 13 per cent of all carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Canada and the average light‐duty vehicle produces roughly three times its weight in CO2 every year. That adds up to a lot of emissions in a vehicle's lifetime. Fortunately, there are some things you can do throughout the life cycle of your vehicle to reduce its carbon footprint:

SOON met with Poppit based potter Pete Bodenham to talk a bit about his current work, where he gains his inspiration and life today as a working artist…
Introduce yourself and your work.
I'm a potter, visual artist, and part time ceramics lecturer. I live next to my workshop at St.Dogmaels Pottery. I grew up in St Dogmaels and went to school in Cardigan. My family lived on a smallholding and I attended art college, both environments encourage you to repair stuff, think, invent and create things. I'm happiest when I'm around my two sons and Ellie, at the beach with Poppit Sands Surf Life Saving Club members or making and being engaged in creative projects.
How did you become a ceramicist?
As a child I used to repeatedly thumb through a book, 'The Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency' by John Seymour. I loved the detailed illustrations and the underlying philosophy of the book. Within the book there were two pages on making pottery that sparked my interest along with tips on keeping hens, pigs and cows. I was lucky to experience ceramics at Cardigan School and as a teenager I used to hang out at Cippyn Pottery near Poppit Sands, which made me think you could be a potter. From there I went to Carmarthen School of Art and then onto Camberwell School of Art in London to study a BA in Ceramics & 3D.
Have you always lived in Wales?
No, but I'm a passionate Welsh Rugby and sports fan! My Parents moved to St.Dogmaels in the late 1970's. I've lived most of my life in West Wales with short spells in London and Cardiff.
Would you say your surroundings play a big part in your work?
Yes, in a big way. I try to capture a sense of place within my ceramics and creative projects. Journeys and mini adventures on foot, often walking the shoreline, feed the work on a direct level. Intuitive brush marks reference the feeling of moving through water, or studying the edges or boundaries between land and sea. Motifs and gestural marks brushed on the pots can be seen as direct traces of my experience of a sense of place.
Who are your main inspirations/ favourite artists?
Alive – Francis Alys, Theaster Gates, Marcus Coates, Allora & Calzadilla, Bedwyr Williams, Wim Delvoye, Cornelia Parker, Takeshi Yasuda, Atelier N.L. Nao Matsunaga, David Gates.
Dead – Joseph Beuys, Antoni Tapies, Gillian Lowndes, Cy Twombly and many forgotten potters / un-marked pots in Museums.
What are you currently working on?
Part of my work as a lecturer at Bath Spa University is being a researcher. This involves either writing academic papers or creating innovative research art and design projects. I'm currently researching material culture and its symbolism regarding site and place. I'm interested in how you can make ceramics that can evoke or reference a sense of place, imbedding objects with meaning. On a practical level I am researching the history, geology and ecology of Poppit Sands beach. A local historian Glen believes the name Poppit is derived from Pot-Pit, this idea coupled with what I can learn form the beach has been my starting point of this year's research. I'm collecting small amounts of clay, rocks, wood and seaweed from the beach using these materials to create clay and glaze experiments. On a regular basis I collect plastic from the beach both cleaning the shoreline and keeping some plastic containers to form part of the project. I'm making plaster casts from these plastic items, make pots by pressing the clay gathered from the beach into the moulds. The project will ultimately draw together research, information and images from visitors to the beach, geologists, historians, scientists as well as the creation of a small set of functional ceramics made from materials gathered from the beach.
Where do you source your materials? How do you make decisions such as choice of clay and glaze?
The raw materials come from Stoke-On-Trent, which is the centre of the British ceramic industry. I supplement these materials with local clays and materials. I use dark clays, which I feel evoke the local geology.
Describe your work in 3 words.
Utopic, practical, rooted.
What's your favourite piece to date?
A coffee bowl featuring seaweed collected from the beach integrated into the glaze chemistry.
It's rare for people to fully commit to a career in the Arts. What's the hardest thing about being a full-time artist today?
To be honest, on one level it's probably the easiest time in history to be an artist. The challenges are financial rather than cultural. Financially sustaining yourself and your art / design practice is an art form. The current political economic climate is challenging or put it another way messed up. It's hard for artists and makers to find affordable spaces to live and work.
What would be your advice to a young artist starting out in the industry?
Learn skills from highly skilled people and aim to practice your skills to the highest level. People with good skills will always get work. Study the history and theory of your field as well as being inquisitive about other fields of study. An inspiring art lecturer Osi Rhys Osmond I used to work with, repeatedly said ' art and design is all about making connections!'. Network and figure out who you need to talk to and where you need to show your work. Finally, commit to your creative practice.
What's your SOON, your Something Out Of Nothing?
Diving into a wave.

The Beauty of Hang Gliding
The Beauty Of Hang Gliding
Mans oldest dream, as the saying goes.
How many of us as adults can remember dreaming about flying when we were kids? Hang gliding makes that dream into a reality. When we sleep we are in a dream state, and that is really how hang gliding can be: a dream state. There is a video on You Tube called "Dreaming Awake", take a look at it and you'll be put into a dreamland, whilst being awake.
There are times when I fly that I forget about the beauty of what I am doing. Then I wake up, and my dream is real. I take a look around me; up; down; to the side; the horizon is so far away as are the limits of what we are all capable of. It really does give you the sensation that anything is possible, and even when our feet are back on terra firma the wonder of what we have just done stays with us.
Taking people for tandem flights I never forget about that beauty. The person, you, I am flying together with, won't let me forget. I just take a look at their face, feel their energy, and I see their dream become a reality and am reminded constantly of the beauty, and how fortunate I am, to live my dreams fully awake, and aware!
Hang gliding moves us into another dimension. Peace and excitement co-exist simultaneously. When tandem flying I am always aware of you. This awareness starts from the very first moment I meet you on the ground, getting to know you, talking you through the briefing, to preparing you for the tandem flight, to explaining the pre-flight procedure and assessing your own mental preparation. Everyone is different and this is part of my own attraction to doing tandem flights. I can no longer imagine the feeling you get from doing your very first ever, or in some cases, second, tandem flight, but I can see the enthusiasm, the anxiety, the absorption, the good sense, the courage, the list goes on and on, I have never seen second thoughts…. nerves? Yes, Lots of people are convinced that they want to try this experience, others are unsure but giving you a sense of security makes you forget your uncertainty and this is replaced with determination.
Be determined. Come and experience your dream.
Why let your sleep steal your dreams when you can have them awake?

Kelly Osbourne has become well known for her quirky sense of fashion, and after appearing in the front row at London Fashion Week and joining E! Fashion Police with Joan Rivers, it looks like the feisty Brit is ready to make the leap into designing her own clothes.
The oldest daughter of Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne sent the rumor mill into overdrive with a recent interview in which she said, "When my line comes out, I'll never make anything that won't be translated to plus-size." Kelly's weight has fluctuated over the years and she's been very candid about her struggles with her weight and her body image.
But after that statement, she took a step back, clarifying, "It's in the mood board stage at the moment. I've turned down every offer that's come my way because they won't let me have full creative control, and that's so important to me."
While her foray into fashion might not be ready to hit the runways anytime soon, Kelly insists she has all the necessary credentials, and says she'll be very involved in the creation of her line. "I wouldn't do it if I couldn't oversee everything… I wish I knew myself when it was going to happen." What wouldn't we see in Kelly's line? Apparently, mullet skirts and fringed flip-flop boots: she recently told UK Glamour that she can't stand either piece.
What does she love about fashion? "It's transformative, and also emotional, a way of expressing yourself." She insists that she's always been interested in fashion, even from a very young age, and has also said that she prefers London to L.A. (where she's currently based) because London has better high street fashion. Hmm, maybe Kelly will choose London as the base for her fashion line once she's ready to roll out her first collection?

THIS WEEK marks the recommencement of a sporadic, purpose-centric need for me to hop on a plane for a day per week, most weeks, for a couple of months; not frightfully onerous — albeit a little frightening late last year — the opportunity presents to revisit Retro Tuesday with an aviation flavour, and to elicit (I'm sure) some groans and cringes from the depths of readers' memories: if, that is, they are old enough to remember at all.
Last year — as I continued a process of rounding out the Communications side of my CV — I recommenced a university degree I abandoned more than 20 years earlier; not wishing to be pushed into careers in either journalism or teaching, and annoyed at being stopped from transferring to a law degree (a story in itself, although in hindsight I'm glad I never became a lawyer) I dispensed with the further incursion of fees, and set out in a different direction altogether.
The problem was that with two-thirds of a degree complete, and on account of the passage of time since getting that far, the only place that would recognise what I had already finished was the same university I'd been an undergraduate at in the early 1990s: and so, in a highly unorthodox arrangement, I started flying in and out of Brisbane to go to the University of Queensland one day each week.
At least, that was the theory: three weeks into the 12-week semester, I had a stroke scare on my flight back to Melbourne very late one Tuesday night; and whilst it turned out I hadn't had a stroke (or a so-called TIA) at all — I eventually became the 24th confirmed diagnosis worldwide of the perfectly harmless ear condition Baroparesis facialis, in which air in a defective Eustachian tube expands at altitude to crush the facial nerve, looking like a stroke but in fact having no connection whatsoever to such a frightening affliction — and after a diverted flight to Sydney, a night in the Prince of Wales Hospital, and a visit to a cardiologist the following week in Melbourne, I was cleared to fly again a fortnight after that terrifying mid-air event.
And it was a good thing I was, for had I not gone near another aircraft for a while, I might still be walking around thinking (wrongly) that I had had a stroke: at exactly the same point in the climb out of Melbourne Airport that the first incident had occurred at during the flight coming the other way two weeks earlier, the same thing happened: it was the big clue my doctors needed to go looking for a non-stroke cause, and after a couple of thousand dollars out of pocket and myriad tests later, we quickly identified the unusual culprit.
Even so, a certain airline predicated on white aeroplanes that may or may not feature red tails depicting airborne marsupials refused to let me fly again after the second incident until a further medical clearance had been obtained (which took six weeks) and after my day at the Uni on that occasion, I spent two days driving back to Melbourne down the Newell Highway, and was not a pleasant encounter by the time I got my car out of the car park at Melbourne Airport 1,150 miles later.
I have always loved flying, but traditionally, it has scared the hell out of me.
I don't know why: when we were kids, there were several family trips to visit relatives who used to live in Sydney, and I was never frightened on those; I have always attributed the later fear of flying to a 13-year gap between the last of the family trips and the first one undertaken on my own, by which time it seemed in many respects I'd never been on an aircraft.
To say I routinely fronted up at various airports across Australia (and occasionally, across the world) in a rare old state is to undersell the matter; on one occasion, after attending a wedding in Brisbane, there was some suggestion check-in staff contemplated calling security on me — such was my state of agitation.
Even trips to the UK (including landing into Hong Kong in the middle of a typhoon) failed to cure me of this totally irrational phobia.
Yet ever since the events of last August — and I've taken another half-dozen return trips since then — I've suddenly found myself so preoccupied with monitoring the state of my facial muscles that I don't even worry about flying any more; perhaps that sounds perverse, given my observations are basically aimed at ascertaining whether half my face collapses or not, and if it does to accost flight staff for an oxygen bottle (which arights the symptoms by imitating ground pressure).
But I got through one semester unscathed in the end — and two of the nine missing subjects for my degree to the good — and it starts again on Thursday, with eight days spread over 13 weeks until the end of May, and another two of the now-remaining seven (from 24 in total) lined up to be knocked over.
My six-year-old daughter loves aeroplanes (and has already had a couple of trips to Tasmania to see my parents) and when she was very little, we used to watch a YouTube clip together just before she went to bed each night; music — and colourful images — have always been a big hit with her, so the idea of watching something together was an obvious one that was instantly popular.
One of the first was this piece…
…which must surely rank as one of the most uber-commercial pop songs of the 1960s; I always used to give my daughter a choice of the "air balloon" version embedded above (which, helpfully, has the words dubbed across it so you can sing along) or the "aeroplane" version, which you can access here featuring a collage of all the planes Trans-Australia Airlines used to fly before it was absorbed as the domestic arm of Qantas.
And that brings up today's Retro Tuesday double shot: not another aviation-themed pop song this time, or something else by The Fifth Dimension, but a thoroughly cringeworthy voyage down memory lane to what once used to pass for the the very best output from the Australian advertising industry: the same industry in which I've spent most of the 20+ years since departing from the Uni in the first place.
Get. A. Look. At. This.
Needless to say (dating as it does, I believe, from about 1972) it looks like the archaeological relic it is; quite aside from the poor image quality (to say nothing of the quaint black-and-white format) it contains things that wouldn't be tolerated (or permitted) these days for an instant.
The dirty businessman perving on the stewardess' derriere as she walks down the aisle, for instance.
And it goes without saying that today's Boeing 737s, A320s and A330s offer far more comfort and a smoother flight than TAA's manky old DC9s and Boeing 727s ever did.
"Up, Up and Away" was also used by the now-defunct US airline TWA in television commercials back in the early 70s — which makes sense — and the TWA version made very different use of the audio track; readers can check out one incarnation of the TWA advertising here. (I believe the aircraft featured is a Douglas DC8, although someone might be able to verify that call made with not-a-very-good-look at the thing).
For mine, I'm going to ensure my kids experience regular air travel as they grow up (which, thanks to tickets today costing a fraction of what they did decades ago, is very possible) in an attempt to ensure neither of them develops a silly phobia about flying.
And for my part, another semester — which will be over before anyone can blink — has given us a perfect opportunity for a trip down memory lane today, and I hope people have enjoyed it.
For a little extra bonus, check this out: one of the best airline advertisements I can ever recall, this predates the marvellous "I Still Call Australia Home" campaign by Qantas that endured for more than a decade, and sits in the period between TAA closing and Qantas Domestic taking off (no pun intended) as an entity in its own right. I was 14 when that campaign was launched, and I still think it deserves its place in anyone's retro call of old Australian television advertising.
It just goes to show what's possible when the creative for an airline commercial is really, really well executed. After all, here we are 30 years later, watching it all over again…

This work takes Norman's classic notion of 'cognitive engineering' and updates it to the modern context of touch-based and tangible interfaces.
As the authors demonstrate for the particular case of a 3D object rotation task, Norman's model still has a great deal of explanatory power for such a task and may continue to give insights into interaction methods and techniques that barely existed as research prototypes when his work was first conceived.
If indeed human beings think with their hands every bit as much (and perhaps even more so) than they do abstractly with reason, then perhaps in this era of the post-WIMP (Windows-Icons-Menus-Pointers) interface our tools for thought have come very far indeed.

A Roman Catholic bishop who questioned the truth of the Holocaust arrived in Britain today after being asked to leave Argentina.
Richard Williamson, who left Buenos Aires wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses yesterday, arrived at Heathrow airport dressed all in black and wearing a dog collar. Several police officers escorted him through a media scrum, and a photographer was manhandled by police during the jostling.
The British-born bishop did not comment and was whisked away in a silver Land Rover.
Williamson had been at the St Pius X seminary in Buenos Aires for five years, but last week the Argentinian government gave him 10 days to leave the country.
Williamson caused outrage with his remarks, which surfaced shortly after the Vatican's recent decision to welcome him back into the Catholic church. He is reported to have claimed in a television interview last month that historical evidence suggested there "were no gas chambers" and that only 300,000 Jews died in Nazi concentration camps.
He has since declared himself ready to think again, and in a recent interview with Spiegel magazine, the bishop reiterated that he was prepared to "review the historical evidence". Most historians agree around 6 million Jews were killed under Hitler's regime.
"Historical evidence is at issue, not emotions. And if I find this evidence, I will correct myself. But that will take time," the disgraced bishop said.
He added that he would test his views not by travelling to Auschwitz but by reading a book on the camp by Jean-Claude Pressac, a former Holocaust denier who revised his views after a visit.
The Catholic bishops of England and Wales have already condemned Bishop Williamson's views on the Holocaust as "totally unacceptable" and have stressed that the lifting of his excommunication was for unrelated matters. A spokesman for the Catholic bishops conference of England and Wales said he had "absolutely no idea" where Bishop Williamson was going after his arrival in Britain.
He said: "He does not fall into the jurisdiction of any of the England and Wales bishops because he is not in full communion with the Catholic church.
"He will have to make his own arrangements, whether that is with a Catholic priest or with somebody else.
"From the hierarchy's perspective, he has got nothing to do with the bishops of this country."
Williamson did have one supporter at Heathrow; Michele Renouf, a socialite turned documentary-maker, said she wanted to represent and support him in getting his views across to the public.
She blamed Germany - which has a Holocaust-denial law - for causing the "scrum of Jewish protests" and said it was a "disgrace" that there could be no debate on the issue. Renouf, who came to Heathrow with her legal team, has become increasingly known in recent years for associating with those who deny the Holocaust. She supported the historian, David Irving, during his trial in Vienna for Holocaust denial. Last year, she helped put together a legal team for an Australian academic, Frederick Toben, after he was arrested at Heathrow airport.
Williamson, who describes himself on his personal blog as a dinosaur, belongs to an ultra-traditionalist religious order that opposes recent reforms by Rome.
The decision to remove the cleric from the seminary was an attempt to smooth over frayed relations with the Vatican, said a spokesman for Williamson's religious order, the Society of Saint Pius X, adding that Williamson's views in no way reflected those of the order.
Williamson is believed to be at the London headquarters of the Society of Saint Pius in Wimbledon, south London, where the Land Rover that took him from Heathrow was parked outside. Two priests who answered the door refused to comment.
Williamson's opinions sparked outrage among Jews and embarrassed the Vatican, which ordered the bishop to publicly recant. The Vatican, along with Williamson's order, claims to have had no prior knowledge of his beliefs about the Holocaust before lifting his excommunication.
The excommunication in 1988 was lifted along with those of three other bishops ordained without Vatican permission by the renegade French archbishop, Marcel Lefebvre.
Pope Benedict had made healing the breach between the Society of Saint Pius X and mainstream Catholics one of the chief aims of his papacy. The British bishop had welcomed his entry back into the church as a "great step forward", although he continued to denounce the Vatican as liberal.
"There is still a long way to go before the neo-modernists in Rome, conscious or unconscious, realise – if ever! – how they mistake the faith," Williamson said.
The bishop has sought to prevent his original television interview from being broadcast on the internet, but a German court has rejected his argument.
Lord Janner, the president of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said: "It would be much better if he was not here, but as a British citizen it cannot be prevented."

Jakarta: Army trucks thundered through Indonesia's capital on Friday as authorities boosted security at possible terror targets and probed a suspected Islamic State cell blamed for Jakarta's deadly terror attacks.
A series of bombings and subsequent gun battles on Thursday between the attackers and police in a busy part of the capital lined with malls and foreign missions left two civilians and five attackers dead.
Police in the world's most populous Muslim country have blamed the carnage on a network of Islamic State fighters from Southeast Asia forged in the radical jihadist group's war in Syria and Iraq.
"An alert has been imposed throughout Indonesia," said national police spokesman Anton Charliyan. "National police are on their highest alert, especially in areas considered targets of terror, like police stations, government offices, embassies, with army backup."
He did not elaborate on the army's role but AFP reporters saw a passing convoy of a half-dozen military trucks filled with heavily armed soldiers in central Jakarta, and heightened security elsewhere, with police patrolling in flak jackets.
A police car and half-dozen officers were seen guarding the French embassy near the attack site. Charliyan added police would be conducting raids Friday as they probe those responsible for the bloodshed, which spilled out in dramatic fashion on a bustling street in the mid-morning.
He declined to offer further details on the planned raids.
The assault left five attackers, a Canadian and an Indonesian man dead and 20 others injured, according to police, in what the country's president called "acts of terror".
Police have singled out Indonesian extremist Bahrum Naim as being behind the planning.
Naim, believed to be in Syria, is said by authorities to be a founding member of Katibah Nusantara, the grouping of Southeast Asian fighters there.
Terror analysts warn that the group, believed to include fighters predominantly from Indonesia but also Malaysia and elsewhere in the region, has threatened for more than a year to bring the jihad home.
Indonesian authorities were yet to offer concrete details from their investigations.
Muhammad Iqbal, Jakarta's police spokesman, said authorities were working to establish the identities and connections of the dead attackers....

This Lemony Raspberry Zucchini Bread with a Lemony Glaze uses ripe, juicy raspberries to sweeten a zucchini quick bread. The glaze on top is the perfect finishing touch to this bread that uses the best the summer has to offer.
I got back from Miami last night for a work trip. #allworknoplay
It was just 1 overnight but man I missed my people.
And from Price's report I was missed too. Kemper stared at the door waiting for me to get home. Autumn wasn't feeling great so she was super clingy to him and didn't sleep well either. (Thankfully last night was better- only up 2x for our (mostly Price's) routine stumble into the room in the dark, insert bink in mouth, stumble back out.)
I was super excited to get home after an hour l-o-n-g delay because the net in the cargo area was broken and they had to move all the luggage around to the aft of the plane. Price had to hold back the dog who greeted me as if I was gone for 24 months and not 24 hours. (BTW- the videos of dogs getting reunited with soldiers ALWAYS, ALWAYS make me cry). And Autumn was really excited to smiling and flapping her arms. I picked her up and she grabbed my face and then, I think, attempted a kiss as she open mouth landed on my chin, and then kinda bit me. #momentslikethis
I'll be alernating trips down there with a co-worker so it seems like I'll have another 4-5 times down to Miami before the project wraps up in January. I hope I can make it work that we can make a visit extend into a long weekend so that we all can enjoy some Miami's nice weather and great Cuban food.
Speaking of food…
This Lemony Raspberry Zucchini Bread with a Lemony Glaze is so freaking good. And I know we all have zucchini up to our eyeballs right now. So grab you grater to get work and as the name indicates you have to have some juicy raspberries to throw into the mix. The lemon ties it all together. Ménage à trois…
If you don't like too much lemon then I would skip the lemon juice in the glaze and just use a tiny bit of water instead, but I think it's great. I love the texture from the zucchini, the burst of juicy raspberries, and the tart pucker from the lemon. yum!
Gobble this up quickly because it's delicious and because the glaze will make the bread a bit soggy if you do let it stick around for awhile. Enjoy it for breakfast or an afternoon snack. It's a great pick me up for a lull in your afternoon. 🙂

Two days ago, January 31, I lost another one of my heroes. Much has been written about Molly Ivins over the past few days -- deservedly -- and I won't repeat it all here. I'll just say that the next time someone asks me what I want for my birthday, my answer will be "the abilities to cut to the truth and see humor in all things, just like Molly Ivins." Sounds like an impossible birthday wish, but keep in mind that a few years ago, I wished for a memorable birthday ... and that day four airliners were hijacked and used as flying weapons. I have a great belief in the power of birthday wishes.
I was thinking about Molly on the 31st, before I heard the news. I had opened a drawer and seen the audiobook of her "Nothin' But Good Times Ahead." I bought that tape as soon as it came out in 1993, needing the solace of her essay "They Killed My Paper Today" about the demise of our former workplace, the Dallas Times Herald. I nearly wrecked on Stemmons Freeway while listening to it because my tears were coming so hard and fast, but I think I would have had that reaction even if I'd never heard of the Herald, that's how deeply felt her words were written and how sincerely they were delivered in her deep drawl. I wish I could listen to it again right now, but I no longer have a cassette player. I guess I'll have to buy the book ... gladly.
If there's a place where righteous hellraising Texans go when they die, I'm sure Molly's there now, reuniting with another of my recently departed heroes, Ann Richards. Even if they're in a perfect Heaven, I like to think they're still raising hell.
