If anyone is still looking for some good devotional reading for Holy Week and beyond, let me introduce you to a hidden gem recently written by a Lutheran woman. I have been reading and re-reading Carolyn Brinkley's Bearing the Cross: Devotions on Albrecht Dürer's Small Passion (CPH, 2012) for several years now and heartily recommend it to anyone. Deaconess Brinkley uses the artist Albrecht Dürer's series of woodcut images called the Small Passion (1511) as the basis for thirty-four short devotions. As implied by the title Small Passion, Dürer's extremely detailed woodcuts portray scenes Christ's Passion, although Dürer and Brinkley also contextualize the Passion narrative with images of Adam and Eve at the moment of the fall, their expulsion from the Garden, Christ's resurrection, post-resurrection appearances, Ascension, the Descent of the Holy Spirit and the Second Coming. Each "chapter" consists of first one of Dürer's woodblock images, the associated Bible passages, and Brinkley's devotional explanation of the image itself, including the important Christian symbolism that would otherwise go un-noticed. Then Brinkley adds a few relevant Bible verses and a short devotional reflection. The chapter then conclude with a hymn or portion thereof.
The genius of this book is that it operates simultaneously on two different levels: visual and textual. There simply are not many theologically serious devotional works in the Lutheran tradition for visually oriented adults. As Brinkley notes, despite their age, Dürer's images allow the viewer to "become an integral part of the biblical story of salvation…. It is as if you are present with Jesus, witnessing His birth, suffering, death, resurrection, ascension, and final coming" (14, 15). Nevertheless, Dürer's work might still fall flat for modern views, but for Brinkley's accompanying text. For example, regarding the woodcut of the Crucifixion, she writes, "In this image, the cross divides two groups of people, signifying the two main doctrines of Scripture. For the scoffers and mockers on Christ's left ,the cross brings the Law and, through it, death. For the faithful followers on the opposite side, the cross brings the Gospel and eternal life. This is emphasized by the right hand placement of Jesus' pierced side, flowing with the blood of the Lord's Supper and the waters of Baptism" (111-112).
On the other hand, for those who are more oriented to the written word, Brinkley's very short meditations of the episodes of Christ's Passion are phenomenal. They both confront the reader with the harsh reality of God's eternal Law and the sweet comfort of the Gospel. Every chapter brings home the fact that Jesus died for you and your sins. Best of all, if, like me, you find yourself frequently crunched for time, no chapter is longer than three pages of text, including Bible and hymn verses. So, if you find yourself with a few extra bucks to spend and would like to both read some outstanding devotional theology and support a female Lutheran author, give CPH some extra business, and pick up a copy of this book.

Hello lovelies! Okay, first of all, I'm stoked to announce this as my first official post since my recent involvement with Teenage Wonderland. Yay! I can't wait to share lots of exciting stuff with you guys. BUT, I figured I'd kick it off with a good ol' outfit of the week.
This Free People dress is one of my absolute favorite new pieces of the last few months. I know, I know – "Florals for spring, groundbreaking." But I really like how understated the floral print is with the paisley thrown in, and the neutral tones over the slightly faded poppy color, as opposed to your typical spring pastels. Very bohemian.
The boots are from Free People as well, and are an absolute staple that I've had for years and wear regularly. They go with EVERYTHING. Obsessed.
Dress: Free People
Boots: Free People
Tell me what pieces you're most excited to wear now that the weather is warming up!
Can't wait to jump into this new adventure on this blog with all of you!

My daughter who works at a call center assures me that as the full moon approaches, e-mails and phone calls coming into her department become stranger and stranger. If my own e-mail this week is any indication, the full moon must be arriving far sooner than the calendar indicates.
Let's begin with the woman who took me to task for the R-ratedness of the sex scenes in Until Proven Guilty. It's true. My character did manage to get lucky in that first book, but that was followed by a long dry spell for the poor guy. The truth is, sex happens in real life and occasionally in my books. I don't put those scenes in because some editor told me I had to. Editors aren't in the habit of passing out book recipes or, at least, I've never been given one. In Lee Childs's books his hero, Jack Reacher, occasionally gets lucky in the midst of gun battles. I find those episodes to be a little unrealistic, but I have not sat down at my computer to send Lee Childs an e-mal. (That's not a typo, by the way. An e-mal is an e-mail sent with content that is mostly . . . well . . . malicious.) My opinion about how Lee Childs writes his books doesn't impinge on how HE writes his books! If I think it's unlikely that a pair of characters would be able to maintain a romantic interlude in the midst of a gun battle, I can just SKIP THAT PART. I don't have to read it. And I won't be sending him an outraged e-mal about it, either.
I'm currently reading a book about a guy working at for a dictionary company tracking down new words and defining them. Somehow I'm sitting here hoping that the term e-mal will make it into common usage.
So back to this week's collection of e-mals. J.P. Beaumont works for a fictional department headed by a fictional Attorney General. This department was given the unfortunate moniker, the Special Homicide Investigation Team. If you shorten that down to an acronym, you suddenly see why the name is unfortunate. It's also a long-standing joke for all the long suffering fictional investigators who work there. This week I received an outraged e-mal telling me that my use of that _ _ _ _ acronym indicates I am really a very lazy writer. I'm not sure how one turns into the other. How does writing two books a year make me lazy? I suspect it's far more likely that the author of the e-mal in question has a somewhat limited sense of humor because he doesn't approve of Beau's boss's name, either. Harry Ignatius Ball is affectionately referred to by those who work for him as Harry I. Ball. That fictional character, by the way, was named after one of my husband's distant relatives. Besides, if I didn't get to put a little fun in my books now and then, writing two books a year would be way too hard, even for someone who's lazy.
But the capper on the e-mal jug, so to speak, came from the guy who took me to task for mentioning the Holocaust in my book Lying in Wait. He probably goes searching for the use of this word on the Internet so he'll most likely be back in touch. His position is that the Holocaust never happened and that I'm pretty much delusional for even mentioning it. The story I put in the book is a fictional one based on the recollections of a man named Thomas Blatt who, along with his family, was sent to Sobibor in Poland where it was his job to removed gold fillings from gas chamber victims' mouths. Sobibor was a death camp. Mr. Blatt, along with several other teenaged boys, managed to escape; Mr. Blatt's family members did not. Once Mr. Blatt came to the US, he dedicated the remainder of his life to making sure those death camp deaths were not forgotten. My correspondent claimed that since there is no official autopsy" evidence of any of the death camp victims, that they did not exist–those deaths didn't happen. I wrote back and explained my connection to Mr. Blatt. My correspondent sent me a second e-mal telling me that "eye witness accounts are unreliable."
Well, I'm sorry. I'm relying on that one. Thomas Blatt's story is one I felt honored to tell. If you happen to agree with my correspondent, please don't bother sending me an e-mal to that effect. It isn't going to change my mind.
Now when do we expect that full moon?

Have you set your New Year's Resolutions?
We are all aware that change takes time.
Some of the greatest motivational gurus of all time remind us that we cannot change daily habits overnight.
If our habits take years to build, they will take more than a few days to replace.
Quite frankly, it is consistent small steps that will lead to transformation.
Over the past decade, I've helped my patients set goals, I've supported them through their challenges, and I've been there to celebrate their achievements.
Let's just say, I know a little bit about helping people with their New Year's Resolutions.
Today, I want to help you create long-lasting, maintainable lifestyle changes.
So if you are excited about a new approach this year, I've gathered up my best tips that have helped thousands of my patients succeed.
Now is the perfect time to set New Year's resolutions and today, I'm showing you how to do it right.
Here are my top 5 tips when it comes to setting New Year's resolutions:
#1 – Stop Removing, Start Adding
One of the primary mistakes we make in trying to lead a healthier lifestyle is 'take away.'
Perhaps you can relate.
Ever catch yourself saying, "I gave up coffee, I cut out carbs, I stopped eating desserts!"
Now I know we're all trying to be healthier, but can you see how this may set you up for failure right from the beginning?
Rather than eliminating all the things you once loved…
Try keeping them in and simply adding more of the good stuff…
More herbal teas, more root vegetables, and more fruit is a better way to slowly and gently bring about change. Over time, you may even notice your taste buds craving more nutritiously-dense foods.
This non-limiting attitude changes everything.
#2 – Keep Doing What You're Doing
There's no need to stop socializing or attending family dinners. I can't tell you how many times I've heard this … "I haven't seen my friends in weeks because I don't want to be tempted."
Imagine being "uber healthy" but not being able to go out and enjoy a nice dinner?
Just because you're trying to be healthier, doesn't mean you shouldn't go out and have a good time.
One day you may be digging in at an all-you-can-eat buffet, and the next day, you may be cooking up an organic storm in your kitchen.
When we are making changes to our diet and lifestyle, we need to weave them in with our current lifestyle.
By looking at 'healthy living' as a separate 'way of living', we are sadly creating a dividing barrier in our day-to-day lives.
#3 – Don't Be Hard On Yourself
I can't say this enough. Being kind is truly one of the best things you can do – for your well-being, your happiness, and your health.
Living by the "all-or-nothing" principle simply doesn't work.
If you eat a brownie (and it's not part of your 'healthy lifestyle' plan), don't give up and throw in the towel. Even if you eat the whole tray, don't sweat it.
Leading a healthier lifestyle is a journey and it's not always going to be perfect.
Persistence is far more important than perfection – so get back on track and strive for progress, not perfection. Say buh-bye to the all-or-nothing approach because it's not doing you any good.
Remember to always be gentle with yourself….
You're Doing The Best You Can (Pssst: I suggest writing this down on a sticky note and reading it every single day).
#4 – If It Doesn't Make You Happy, Try Something Else
Unless you're stranded on an island, you've got choices. Lots of them! As you embark on a healthier journey this year, choose what makes you happy.
If you don't like working out at the gym, you can dance to your favourite jams at home.
If you don't like seaweed snacks, why not make your own tasty vegan, gluten-free energy balls?
And, if you don't like fish, the good news is you can get your omega-3 fatty acids from a high quality omega-3 fish oil supplement.
Finally, listen to your body.
If you're craving a warm porridge over a cold green juice, there may be an underlying reason why.
Rather than forcing yourself to chug a green juice, why not dig deeper into those mysterious food cravings? Your body may be trying to communicate with you. Don't ignore the subtle messages.
#5 – Celebrate Your Baby Steps
Sounds like a no brainer, right?
But all too often, we forget to pause and celebrate how far we've come.
Though your progress may be slower than you'd like, every now and then, pinch yourself, and be grateful for the journey – all of your wins and your challenges.
Even the let-downs have brought you one step closer to accomplishing your New Year's Resolutions.
Happy New Year To You and Yours!

Last night reminded me again of one of the reasons I'm so enamored with college football. Despite the greed, the stupidity and the arrogance that routinely drive me up the wall, there's also that wonderful sense of community we fans share with each other. Just because the suits running the game treat us like wallets doesn't mean we have to.
I'm in Austin, Texas. Not Athens, Georgia, Atlanta, Georgia or even Jacksonville, Florida, places where I can count of a bevy of like-minded Dawgs. Yet the scene when I walked into The Tavern in downtown Austin managed to feel oh so familiar.
An entire floor given over to Georgia fans, who had a blast with each other all night. Okay, sure, there were a few anxious moments, but the last two minutes of the game reminded me of the pleasures of the shared experience.
It will always be great to be a Georgia Bulldog. Keep rocking, Austin Dawgs.

I am starting to feel less overwhelmed from starting a homeschool academy, sending a child off to traditional school, and dealing with kids on different travel soccer leagues. Lesson planning is now coming easier, as is managing carpools and homework.
We were able to enjoy an afternoon hike as a family; something we haven't been able to do in a long time.
So we get back to the car around five, and since we have no dinner plans we decide to extend the fun to include going out to dinner. We ate at a diner that we often passed on our way hiking, and like everything in this area, it wasn't good.
We are too used to this kind of dining out experience to let it dampen our spirits, so we decide to try our luck at a new creamery that everyone is raving about. Guess what? It stunk as well. But four of the kids thought it was great, so that is all that really matters.
Poor James. That isn't even his cone. I am making him hold it just for the photos.

A MAN threatened to jump from a Huddersfield viaduct last night.
The 25-year-old sat on the railway bridge at Hillhouse for more than an hour before police persuaded him to climb down.
At one point, trains running from Huddersfield across the bridge were halted. Police also closed Hillhouse Lane to traffic.
The man was seen shortly after 7.30pm by a passing driver, who called police.
They found the man 30ft above the road, threatening to jump.
A number of officers, including a trained negotiator, went to the scene and the man was persuaded to climb down a steep embankment about 8.45pm.
A police spokesman said: "A 25-year-old Hillhouse man was taken to Huddersfield police station and seen by a doctor.
"He was unhurt and was released without charge about midnight."

Old School informed GURPS Dungeon Fantasy gaming. Basically killing owlbears and taking their stuff, but with 3d6.

What happens when your DF Cleric is Excommunicated
What happens if you want to switch?
Or, well, let's just say your god wants you to switch and encourages you along by damning you to hell and excommunicating you.
What then?
Luckily we already know how to make the Evil versions from DF 3 (Evil Clerics are on p. 23, Unholy Warriors on p. 27). But both are written from the perspective of a starting PC. The lenses can be tacked on later, but the base templates are where you start.
We just need to figure out what to change on the character sheet.
- you're now Excommunicated. Good job. Get rid of that holy disadvantage you took - Honesty, Sense of Duty (Coreligionists), or Vow.
- you'd need to swap out the relevant Holy Advantages for Unholy ones. The Evil Cleric and Unholy Warrior have suggestions.
- Do you get to change disadvantages to more evil ones? I'd say change as few as possible if it's an unwilling conversion, as many as you want if you snap and go all Erac's Cousin.
- Skills? Can you swap them out? This one is a real game-world decision. Can you (new or old) god swoop in and change what you know ("My knowledge of healing herbs is gone . . . but I know how to use them to kill!")? If so, you'd have to swap out the "good" stuff for the "bad" stuff. If not, well, you get to keep your helpful skills and you need to seek out a source of evil to learn the bad stuff. Either is made of pure awesome.
- Spells? This is what sparked this whole post in the first place. Good and Evil get different spell lists. You'd either get to:
a) re-pick all of your spells.
b) re-pick the ones that don't match your new list.
Either is plausible. I'd say a), if only because it's vastly easier to do.
One further idea is to simply grab up all the points you put into spells and holy powers, and redistribute them amongst your new powers. You have 23 points in spells and 35 points in holy powers? Pick 58 points in new spells and powers. Or your GM picks some or all, depending on the circumstances.
That's my back-of-the-envelope sketch of what you'd need to change. If I missed anything that needs addressing, let me know.
So if your GM doesn't seem to be generously handing out Holy items, or that black-bladed howling sword seems pretty nice, actually, maybe you just might make the switch . . .
3 comments:
I'd consider it a two separate steps/lenses. The first removes you from the grace of your deity, and amounts to lost ads/disads in a bunch of stuff. I'd probably restrict it to stuff that was requirements of service and powered by divine magic - you don't unlearn anything by default.ReplyDelete
The second devotes you to a new one, and is free points in a lot of stuff, a few required disads, and a bunch of stuff you need to negotiate for. (If you're gonna cut a deal with the Dark Powers, it seems like you should role play it for the awesomeness.)
The advantage of doing it this way is it makes it easier to have folks who are X-com-unicated holy folks who didn't turn evil (probably NPCs, but is an interesting PC arc if you go that way) or to tempt non-clerics with Dark Power (admittedly, this might be easily done by adding an evil cleric or unholy warrior lens).Replies
I can't believe I forgot the even meaner munchkin trap of tempting a power munchkin with "good" power and then enforcing the disads. "Sorry Bob, you're charitable now. Give it away..."Delete
Those are pretty good ideas.Delete
I like the idea of playing it out - I hadn't considered how this would occur, just the mechanical process of change.
I personally think evil powers really should dangle this stuff out before you - "take as much as you like, do what you will, it'll be fine, you can use it to do good, make yourself powerful, whatever . . . " It probably should be tempting and easy to get. The consequences, well, there are always consequences, but this is with an eye to DF. It should just mean you can't go pay for some healing at the temple now that you worship the demon of darkness, your old friend the Holy Warrior suddenly wants to hit you with his sword, etc. - but otherwise you can still go adventuring.

I downloaded a bunch of fonts and tried to install them by copying them into C:\Windows\Fonts with my file manager (not Windows Explorer).
Some of them couldn't overwrite existing fonts, so I rebooted (in case something was hanging onto the file) and tried to copy the rest.
While comparing the two directories, the computer bluescreened.
Rebooted, tried again: another bluescreen.
After a few more tries, a pattern emerged. The cause was different, but the culprit named was always win32k.sys. A google for that didn't bring up anything specific (could be a graphics card overheating, or bad memory, or a bad driver, or …).
However, it was interesting that if I just rebooted and did nothing, the system seemed fine. Starting the file manager seemed to do it—at least, if I navigated into the fonts directory. Starting a brower also BSOD'd—perhaps while the browser was initialising fonts?
So I rebooted again, opened a command line with administrative rights and started deleting most of the fonts I had recently installed. (Once I got a bit too trigger-happy: instead of dir ver*.ttf I typed del ver*.ttf—and in addition to removing the Bitstream Vera fonts, it also tried to remove Verdana! Fortunately, that font was protected against such shenanigans.
Anyway, open font folder: no BSOD. So that's good.
Started copying some fonts back—this time differently, though. I copied a handful of fonts into another directory (so I knew which ones I tried to install) and then, since I had the files in my clipboard already anyway, opened the Windows font folder as a folder (not in the file manager) and pasted them in there. Asked me whether I wanted to replace a few (odd, I thought I had removed those first—perhaps not—or maybe it went by internal font name, not filename, and there were duplicates? was that the problem, two font files claiming to be the same font?).
But then: Windows told me that three of the font files couldn't be identified as fonts!
Yay! This check didn't happen when just copying the files into the directory "behind Windows's back".
Copied a bunch more files in; the folder window stayed open. Started browser: no problems here any more, either.
Phew. So I guess it was due to some iffy font files. (For what it's worth, they were Droid Legacy, Droid Legacy Fallback, and Droid Japanese.)
And I'm glad that my computer isn't BSODing on my any more!

Australian overnight ratings for Listen
Tuesday, 16 September 2014 - Reported by Adam Kirk
Against stiff competition from the commercial networks, Listen averaged 661,000 in the five major Australian capital cities and was the twelfth highest rating program of the day overall in the big cities (these figures do not include regional and rural viewers or time shifted viewers). It was the second highest rating drama of the day (after ANZAC Girls). For the first time this series, Doctor Who also slipped outside the top ten national programs as well (which includes the five major capitals and regional and rural viewers).

We started with Master of the Labyrinth that anansi133 had brought. This was our starter including myself, cindygerb, anansi133, angilong, and frog_mb. Very interesting game that I should possibly write up at some point. anansi133 won with almost double the points of second place.
Playing this also raised an interesting question in terms of numbers. It's only a four person game (Megann and Angi played as a team). Most of the time we try to fit everyone into one game. I think we need to be able have multiple games running like quite a few other people that have games nights.
Our second game was Munchkin with some of the expansions. As always this was fun with lots of silly mixed in. The game included all the adults and proto-adults with the kids in the other room terrorizing the ferrets. It's okay, it sounded like the ferrets were terrorizing them back. We did a quick training round while cindygerb made peanut-butter banana muffins. When that was done, she joined us and we played in earnest. Unfortunately, angilong, frog_mb, nymphas, Stormy, and aekajin2 had to leave partway through. Towards the end, we had three people at level nine. I won when everyone had used all their monster enhancers up keeping each of the three people from winning.
After the rest of the folks left, cindygerb, anansi133, and I played another game of Master of the Labyrinth. It went a bit differently now that we were familiar with the game and knew some of the strategies. Simple game with quite a bit of complexity.
It's amazing about how I can write much more about an event when I actually write it soon after.
(Note. I should find a link to Master of the Labyrinth but RPG Net doesn't have it and BoardGame Geek seems to be down.)

The Lycée Honoré de Balzac is a large modern state school, situated in spacious grounds in the north-west of Paris.The facilities are excellent. There are science, language and computer laboratories and the best sports equipment of any school in Paris: 4 gymnasiums, a running track and a swimming pool.
The English section is one of six international sections, all fully integrated into the vibrant multi-cultural life of the school.
The pupils follow the usual French national curriculum from 6ème( year7-6th grade ) to Terminale ( upper 6th-12th grade + ) to this is added 4-6 hours of English language and literature and 2 hours of history-geography ( 1 subject in France ). These are taught by native-speaker specialists in these subjects.
There is also provision for tuition in French as a foreign language (FLE) for those pupils who arrive from abroad.
The International Section pupils prepare the O.I.B. (Option Internationale du Baccalauréat - not to be confused with the Geneva International Bac ) in Terminale. This qualification facilitates integration into the universities of the English-speaking world and is equally useful it those students who choose to pursue their studies in France. As perfectly bi-lingual and bi-cultural citizens they will succeed in and help to build the multi-cultural Europe of the future.
Apart from the usual requirements of entry into secondary school all pupils must pass an English test. Pupils coming from abroad must also sit a French and a Maths test. For further details please contact :

text: Former Chairman Paul Allen May See His Say in Charter Get Reduced Further 5:07 PM PST 1/4/2011 by Georg Szalai FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images NEW YORK - MAY 08: Founder and Chairman of Vulcan Inc. Paul Allen arrives at TIME's 100 Most Influential People Gala at Frederick P. Rose Hall on May 08, 2008 in New York City The cable operator will explore a possible stock conversion. NEW YORK -- The board of cable operator Charter Communications plans to explore this quarter a possible stock conversion that could further reduce the voting stake and say of former controlling shareholder and ex-chairman Paul Allen. The Microsoft co-founder invested billions to grow, including through an acquisition spree, the business of Charter, which lost money over the years and in 2009 underwent a restructuring of its high debt load in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy process. In the restructuring, debt was converted into equity, diluting the stake of Allen and other shareholders. The Charter debtors, for example, replaced Allen with a new chairman: Eric Zinterhofer, a partner at private equity group and debtor Apollo Management. However, Allen remained the largest individual shareholder of the firm. His voting stake has been around 35 percent, even though his economic stake is only about 5 percent, according to Evercore Partners analyst Bryan Kraft. Allen's bigger voting power is due to his control of all the firm's higher-voting Class B shares. On Tuesday, Charter said in a regulatory filing that its board plans to consider converting that Class B stock to Class A stock as Charter's certificate of incorporation allows it to do any time on or after Jan. 1, 2011. "The disinterested members of the board of directors" can cause such a conversion, it said. Allen would then also lose the right to appoint four of the 11 Charter board members. Class B share-board members would become subject to the nomination process that the company uses otherwise and to the vote of all shareholders. "We view this as a positive as it would eliminate the complexity of a dual [stock] voting structure," Kraft said about the possible changes. Also, such a conversion would result in private equity owners Apollo, Oaktree Capital, Franklin Templeton and Crestview Partners controlling a combined 72.4 percent, compared to 45.9 percent currently, of the Charter shares outstanding, Kraft said. This could also make a potential transaction, such as a sale, involving Charter more likely, Kraft said. A spokesman for Allen couldn't be reached.

Police: boy meant to harm students with knife
DANBURY -- A 12-year-old Danbury boy has been charged with criminal intent to commit murder after police say he brought a knife to school, intending to harm classmates.
Police arrested the boy Monday, the last day of classes at the Broadview Middle School
School Superintendent Sal Pascarella tells the News-Times a teacher noticed something amiss and asked to inspect the boy's backpack.
Pascarella says the 12-year-old ran into a bathroom and threw a knife out a window.
The boy's name has not been released because of his age. He is being held at a juvenile facility in Bridgeport and is scheduled to appear in court Monday.

For the longest time Daytrotter seemed like a dream. Thousands of songs to download, beautiful stripped down raw versions from our favorite bands, and somehow they were all free. Recently Daytrotter was straightforward with their fans and changed over to a pay model. What was the rate going to be? Would they price themselves out? They simply asked for $2 a month for unlimited downloads and offered new features like live concert footage and the ability to stream bands recording session for another small fee. Seriously, only $2 a month? I still felt like I was getting a steal and would have been happy to pay even more. They made clear that artists were getting royalties from their sessions and that if you purchased the live sessions then that money would be split with the artists. Just another reason the $2 shouldn't bother you.
What Daytrotter has created is a tight knit music community. They don't record much crap, and they show the raw talent of bands. All Get Out now has it under control, this is their third visit and first since their debut album has been released.

|Albanian revolt of 1911
Depiction of the revolt by The Illustrated Tribute (April, 1911)
|Ottoman Empire
|Commanders and leaders
|Şevket Turgut Paşa
Ded Gjo Luli
Sokol Baci
Mehmet Shpendi
The Albanian revolt of 1911[1] or the Malësori uprising of 1911[2] was one of many Albanian revolts in the Ottoman Empire and lasted from 24 March 1911 until 4 August 1911 in the region of Malësia.[3]
The main headquarters of the rebels were in Podgorica and King Nikola provided weapons for the insurgents.[4] King Nicholas promised to support Malissori with arms and to provide a shelter to their families before the revolt began.[5]
Although both king Nikola and prince Danilo were assuring Ottoman ambassador that they are observing "the strictest neutrality" it was obvious that Kingdom of Montenegro was involved in this revolt. General Vukotić organized passing out the weapon to the rebels.[6] The fighting of the Malisori tribes was directed by Vukotić.[7]
Nikola's strategy was to stimulate unrest in northern Albania and north-western Kosovo to the point where he could intervene and annex more territory for Montenegro.[8] Most of contemporary studies confirm that this uprising was supported by Montenegro.[9][10][11]
During Albanian Revolt of 1910 many Albanian refugees found shelter in Montenegro. They were a heavy burden for Montenegro whose souvereign stated that Montenegro spent more than its annual budget to support the Albanian refugees.[12]
At the end of March 1911 the Kingdom of Montenegro forced them to return to Kosovo Vilayet.[13] Thousands of refugees together with the Albanian Catholic tribes staged the Albanian Revolt of 1911.[14]
The Albanian National Committee was founded in Podgorica in February 1911.[15] In a meeting of the Committee held in Podgorica from 2 to 4 February 1911, under the leadership of Nikolla bey Ivanaj and Sokol Baci Ivezaj, it was decided to organize an Albanian uprising.[16]
Revolt in Malësia
Troops of Montenegro supported the revolt and captured 12 Ottoman soldiers and imprisoned them in Podgorica.[17]
The first serious attempt of the Ottoman government to suppress the revolt resulted with the Battle of Deçiq. Terenzio Tocci gathered the Mirdite chieftains on 26 April 1911 in Orosh, proclaimed the independence of Albania, raised the flag of Albania (according to Robert Elsie it was raised for the first time after Skanderbeg's death) and established the provisional government.[18] Shefqet Turgut Pasha wanted to meet this threat and returned to the region with 8.000 soldiers. As soon as he reached Shkodër on 11 May, he issued a general proclamation which declared martial law and offered an amnesty for all rebels (except for Malisori chieftains) if they immediately return to their homes.[19] After Ottoman troops entered the area Tocci fled the empire abandoning his activities.[20]
On 14 May, three days after his proclamation, Shefqet Turgut Pasha ordered his troops to seize Dečić, hill that overlooked Tuzi.[21] Sixty Albanian chieftains rejected Turgut Pasha's proclamation on their meeting in Podgorica on 18 May.[22] After almost a month of intense fightings rebels were trapped and their only choices were either to die fighting, to surrender or to flee to Montenegro.[23] Most of the rebels chose to flee to Montenegro which became a base for large number of rebels determined to attack the Ottoman Empire.[24] Ismail Kemal Bey and Tiranli Cemal bey traveled from Italy to Montenegro at the end of May and met the rebels to convince them to adopt the nationalistic agenda which they eventually did.[25][26] On 12 June Porte prematurely proclaimed that the revolt had ended.[27]
Gerče Memorandum
At initiative Ismail Qemali[28] the assembly of the tribal leaders of the revolt was held in a village in Montenegro (Gerče) on 23 June 1911 to adopt the "Gerče Memorandum" (sometimes referred to as "Red Book" because of the color of its covers[29]) with their requests both to Ottoman Empire and Europe (in particular to the Great Britain).[30] This memorandum was signed by 22 Albanian chieftains, four from each tribe of Hoti, Grude and Skrel, five from Kastrati, three from Klementi and two from Shale.[31]
Requests of memorandum included:[32]
- general amnesty for all participants in the revolt
- demand for recognition of the Albanian ethnicity
- election of the deputies of Albanian ethnicity for the Ottoman Parliament according to the proportional system
- Albanian language in schools
- governor and other appointed high officials have to know Albanian language and all other positions in the administration have to be reserved only for people of Albanian ethnicity
- men who are ethnic Albanians to serve army only in Albania during the peacetime
- confiscated arms to be returned
- all Albanian property damaged by Ottoman troops to be compensated
The Memorandum was submitted to the representatives of Great Powers in Cetinje, Montenegro.[33] It was basically a reply to amnesty offered by Ottoman military commander Shefqet Turgut Pasha.[34]
Activities of the Great Powers
At the end of May 1911 Russia protested against military moves of Ottoman army near the border of Montenegro and sent a note to the Ottoman foreign minister.[35] Russian Empire was very willing to participate in efforts to resolve the crisis because it was afraid that Austria-Hungary might increase its influence in Montenegro and use the crisis to invade and annex Albania.[36] Serbia and Italy also believed that Austria-Hungary was responsible for the revolt in Albania and suspected that Austria had plans to intervene in Albania.[37][38] The British ambassador in Vienna rejected the possibility that Austria-Hungary caused the revolt.[39]
On 8 June, von Aehrenthal, the foreign minister of Austria-Hungary, issued a semi-official note to the Ottoman Empire[40] and informed the Porte that Ottoman repression of the Catholic tribes will not be ignored and in case it is continued Austria-Hungary will take an action.[41] Austrian intervention to support the rebels was urged by Catholic journals in Vienna as well.[42]
Failed attempts to organize revolt in the north and south Albania
The Albanian revolts in the period before the First Balkan War were organized mostly in the region of Malësia. Isa Boletini, one of the leaders of the Albanian insurgents in Kosovo vilayet, wrote a proclamation on 23 March 1911 to the Albanians in the south to join Albanians from the Kosovo vilayet in their uprising. He sent his emissaries on 15 April 1911 to pass his proclamation to the southern insurgents.[43] One of the main tasks of the Black Society for Salvation was to organize uprisings in the southern territories.[44] The members of the society organized a meeting in Kolonjë. The meeting was attended by the emissaries from the Kosovo vilayet who brought the proclamation of Isa Boletini.[45] The leaders of the society decided in that meeting to organize groups of armed rebels and to launch the uprising in the south in early June 1911.[46] The society managed to establish committees in several towns including Korçë, Elbasan, Debar and Ohrid, but it failed to maintain control over them because each committee acted on its own direction.[47]
Suppression of the revolt
After the Battle of Deçiq Ottoman government decided for peaceful means of suppression of the revolt because frequent clashes with Albanians attracted the attention of the European Great Powers.[48]
On 11 June sultan Mehmed V visited Skopje where he was greeted enthusiastically by the local population together with two Albanian chieftains who swore their allegiance to the Ottoman sultan.[49] On 15 June, the date of the Battle of Kosovo, he visited the site of the historical battle greeted by 100.000 people. During his visit to Kosovo vilayet he signed a general amnesty for all participants of the Albanian revolts of 1910 and 1911.[50] He was welcomed by the choir of the Serbian Orthodox Seminary with Turkish songs and vice-consul Milan Rakić had gathered a large contingent of Serbs, but many Albanians boycotted the event.[51]
Ottoman representatives managed to deal with the leaders of Albanian rebels in Kosovo Vilayet and Scutari Vilayet separately, because they were not united and lacked central control.[52] The Ottoman Empire first managed to pacify the northern Albanian malësorë (highlanders) from Scutari Vilayet reaching a compromise during a meeting in Podgorica. In order to resolve the problems in the south, the Ottoman representatives invited Albanian southern leaders to a meeting in Tepelenë on 18 August 1911. They promised to meet most of their demands, like general amnesty, the opening of Albanian language schools, and the restriction that military service was to be performed only in the territory of the vilayets with substantial Albanian population. Other demands included requiring administrative officers to learn the Albanian language, and that the possession of weapons would be permitted.[53]
The Albanian Revolt of 1911 stimulated Turkish nationalism because it proved that it was impossible to maintain the unity of the population of the Ottoman Empire even in the case of a Muslim community.[54] Montenegrin king Nikola composed a poem The Uprising of Malisores (Serbian: Малисорски устанак 1911) in honor of this uprising.[55]

Zoe Saldana and Marco Perego With Their Dog in LA
Zoe Saldana Has Two Furry Friends
Zoe Saldana and her scruffy husband, Marco Perego, brought their dog, Mugsy, to dinner at Dominick's restaurant in LA on Wednesday night. The couple held hands and giggled at something on their phone while the adorable pup walked behind them back to the car. We've seen a lot of Zoe and her Italian artist beau since they secretly married in London over the Summer. The lovebirds couldn't contain their PDA during a daytime outing last week, and before that, Marco solidified his husband-of-the-year status when he carried Zoe's Chanel handbag around his neck while running errands around LA.
Though Zoe and Marco have been seemingly attached at the hip, Zoe did go solo to a high-profile event recently. She hit the red carpet in a sexy Gucci dress for the LACMA Art and Film Gala, where she mingled with Drew Barrymore and Gucci creative director Frida Giannini.

These are two of the most popular loan types when buying a home or refinancing your mortgage.
Both fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans are available for conventional conforming loans, jumbo (non-conforming) loans and FHA or VA programs.
Fixed-Rate Mortgage:
This type of loan has an interest rate that doesn't change over the life of the loan, so monthly payments for principal and interest (P&I) do not fluctuate. They typically have a 15- or 30-year term length, though they can be for any length the borrower and lender agree upon.
Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM):
This type of loan has interest rates that are adjusted periodically based on changes in overall interest rates. If interest rates rise, you can expect to see an increase in what you pay monthly. Your interest rate and monthly P&I stay the same for an initial period of 5, 7 or 10 years, then are adjusted annually.
NOTE: Please see program specific pages for details or speak with your local mortgage consultant.
By refinancing an existing loan, your total finance charges may be higher over the life of the loan.
Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) loans are popular homebuyer choices, but are also available if you're refinancing your mortgage. These loans must meet certain requirements.
FHA Loans
These loans insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. They are designed to make housing more affordable, particularly for first-time homebuyers. FHA loans typically permit borrowers to buy a home with a lower down payment than conventional loans or refinance with less home equity. Current FHA loan limits vary depending on home type and home location.
VA Loans
This type of loan is guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It was created to help make housing affordable for eligible U.S. veterans and members of the military. VA home loans are available to veterans, reservists, active-duty military personnel, and surviving spouses of veterans with 100% entitlement. Eligible veterans may be able to buy a home with no down payment, refinance up to 100% of the home's value and pay no private mortgage insurance.
These programs have special requirements to qualify. Talk to your local Mortgage Consultant to see if you qualify today.
Allows qualified borrowers to refinance a current FHA mortgage loan to a lower interest rate more quickly and with less paperwork.
Refinancing with FHA Streamline may help qualified borrowers reduce their overall mortgage payment, decrease an existing interest rate and help build home equity faster.
Refinance with confidence
Please see program specific pages for details or speak with your local mortgage consultant.
By refinancing an existing loan, your total finance charges may be higher over the life of the loan.

Bay Area Bassist Aaron Germain to Release Debut CD "Before You Go" 4/27 & Headline Coda SF 5/13(Published: March 24, 2010)
After ten years of working as a first-call sideman with some of the Bay Area's finest practitioners of styles ranging from jazz to salsa to Brazilian forro, bassist Aaron Germain has finally carved out some time for his own music. He's preparing to release his debut CD, Before You Go, on April 27, and plans to showcase the new music at a special CD release event at Coda in San Francisco on Thursday, May 13.
The strikingly varied new CD, which Germain calls "a jazz album with diverse influences," is self-produced and features the bassist's own compelling compositions. He worked primarily with a stellar quartet consisting of pianist Matt Clark, saxophonist Sheldon Brown, and drummer Bryan Bowman, versatile musicians who are "great jazz players and well-versed in other styles, so they can bring an original approach to jazz," says Germain.
Clark and Brown will be on hand at Coda, along with drummer Jeff Marrs (who's featured on one track of the new CD). Special guest vocalist Paula West, whom Germain has frequently accompanied, will perform a couple of songs with the band. "It's been an honor to work with Paula over the years," says Germain. "She is an incredibly unique and strong performer who can carry her audience, and the musicians she is playing with, to a whole other place. I also love her choice of repertoire." Germain anticipates playing Oscar Brown Jr.'s "The Snake" and Antonio Carlos Jobim's "The Waters of March" with Paula at the Coda show.
Aaron's former teacher and mentor Yusef Lateef has praised his bass playing as "virile and creative"; and in an early review from AllAbout Jazz.com, John Barron writes that "Germain's rousing compositional skills are a delight.... Before You Go is an exciting session deserving of wide recognition." The Coda show will provide Bay Area audiences an opportunity to become better acquainted with this inventive and accomplished young musician and his music.
Aaron Germain, 33, was born in Cambridge, Mass., and started on classical guitar at 15. But before he was out of high school, he'd already been drawn to the bass and the sounds of Jaco Pastorius and Paul Jackson. While studying music at Hampshire College, he came into the orbit of the pioneering jazz multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef, who hired the 19-year-old bassist for a gig.
"It was a pivotal moment for me," Germain recalls. "Playing with a legendary musician of Yusef's stature was an exciting and intimidating opportunity, but I felt that I rose to the occasion and reached another level. Lateef often said that creativity is defined by taking chances. By putting aside fear of failure and by taking risks, you can discover new ideas. That's something I took away from him."
In 2000, Aaron relocated to the Bay Area, drawn by the presence of master Afro-Caribbean percussionists Michael Spiro and Jesus Diaz. With his wide-ranging interests and formidable chops, Germain quickly became an in-demand player, sometimes working two or three gigs a day -- in salsa ensembles, and with Caribbean steel pan or Brazilian bands. He backed Indian kathak dancers and Trinidadian calypso singers. And he was always ready to tackle harmonically dense, odd-meter jazz compositions.
Aaron's biggest source of inspiration in recent years has been his wife Miho Oyasu, a native of Kyoto. Through their marriage he has been blessed with family and friends in Japan and a window into the country's unique culture. With frequent visits, performances, and continued, diligent study of the language, Aaron continues to develop connections in Japan's lively music scene.
The release of Before You Go is likely to focus increased attention on Germain's formidable skills as a player and a writer. Although he's not necessarily looking to take on the full-time responsibilities of leading a band, he says, "I'm looking forward to seeing some exciting new possibilities open up through this album."

This consultation has now closed.
Ipswich's population is set to grow by 42,000 over the next 19 years. This growth is predicted to have an impact on traffic levels in and around the town.
Suffolk County Council (SCC) has been investigating what this means for the existing road network and has successfully bid to the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) for funding for road and junction improvements.
The total fund is £5 million with £3.5 million coming from the LEP and SCC contributing £1.5 million.
The proposal for this location is part of a wider package of measures across the town that will help ease congestion and enhance the sustainable transport provision.
Nacton Road, Landseer Road and Rands Way
This location forms part of an important route between the A14 and the south east of Ipswich.
It has been identified as an area that needs improvement because it suffers from several challenges, including:
- heavy congestion, particularly at peak times
- a number of reported accidents at the junction
- larger vehicles using this junction that overrun the roundabout creating maintenance problems
- poor pedestrian and cycle crossing facilities
- rat-running occurring from Felixstowe Road through Rands Way to the junction
The plan
To address these issues and to provide a junction that is fit for the future we are proposing to convert the current four-armed roundabout to a three-armed signalised junction.
The Rands Way arm of the junction will be closed off to motorised traffic, and for those using Rands Way there will be a turning space at this end of the road.
The proposed changes to the junction will:
- improve the volume of traffic able to pass through the junction
- improve walking and cycling facilities and provide safer crossing points at the junction
- reduce the road maintenance costs by removing the roundabout

The results of the consultation
Proposed plans at the junction of Rands Way, Nacton Road and Landseer Road will not go ahead
Last month, as part of a package of works to improve the road network around Ipswich, we asked people for their views on the proposals at the junction of Rands Way, Nacton Road and Landseer Road.
The proposal for this work included plans to remove the roundabout at that junction and replace it with traffic lights. The lights would enable better control of the traffic in the area and enable more opportunities for cyclists and pedestrians to cross the road safely.
The proposal also featured a move to close off the junction of Rands Way, making it a cul-de-sac.
The four-week consultation, which was advertised in this column, on social media and on signs at the junction, had more than 700 responses. Just under 80% of those who filled in the survey felt the traffic already moved through the junction freely, with more than 75% of respondents believing the area needed no improvement. 93% of those who responded also thought the proposals would not reduce congestion.
The reason we held a consultation for this proposed scheme was because it included significant changes and we wanted public feedback.
There was a great response to the consultation, which is always pleasing to see. I'd like to thank those who took the time to complete it and respond. The reason we consult is so we can take on board what people think. We know changes to the road network are contentious and we also know that people hate sitting in queues of traffic. We're working hard to improve things for everyone - motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and public transport users.
At this point, with the response from the public, we have taken a decision not to carry out this proposed scheme at this junction.
Instead, we will continue to monitor traffic and will review the area as part of the consultation on the Upper Orwell Crossings next year. The construction of the crossings will change traffic patterns in the town, so future changes may need to be made. However, any changes are very unlikely to include the proposal to close off Rands Way.
The next piece of improvement works
The next set of works will be at the junction of Nacton Road and Maryon Road, starting on 8 January for a period of six weeks. Traffic is congested at the junction and the traffic lights are out of date, working on a fixed time plan that includes the exit of the former Holywells High School.
The new traffic lights here will respond to queues of traffic and for a short stretch the road heading towards the town centre will be widened to two lanes. We'll also remove any street furniture that no longer has any use and update the out of date street lighting with better, more efficient LED lights.

Pattaya is a city on Thailand's eastern Gulf coast known for its beaches. A quiet fishing village as recently as the 1960s, it's now lined with resort hotels, high-rise condos, shopping malls, cabaret bars and 24-hour clubs. Nearby, hillside Wat Phra Yai Temple features an 18m-tall golden Buddha. The area also features several designer golf courses, some with views of Pattaya Bay.
