Item of the Day: Lord Gardenstone’s Travelling Memorandums (1792)
Full Title: Travelling memorandums, made in a tour upon the continent of Europe, in the years 1786, 1787, and 1788: by the Honourable Lord Gardentstone. Vol. I. & Vol. II. Second edition, corrected and enlarged. Edinburgh: Printed for Bell and Bradfute, G. G. J. and J. Robinson, and G. Nicol, Bookseller to His Majesty, London, 1792.
At the age of sixty-five, being in easy circumstances, but in a declining state of health, I resolved, by advice, to travel, and try the effect of southern climates for one or two winters. –Before my departure, I obtained consultations of able physicians, both at Edinburgh and London; one of them was my worthy friend Dr. Garden, then residing in London. –He had practiced, with high reputation, for many years in Carolina. –As he was best acquainted with the common effects of a hot climate on persons bred in northern countries, I considered his advices as most material; and I have experienced the success of them. –I select some part of his opinion for the benefit of others in similar circumstances.The Doctor treats the important article of regimen and diet in an unusual, but, as I think, in a very sensible manner. –“Be moderate habitually. –Whatever your palate relishes, and your stomach digests easily, is best. –In this, you must be your own physician, and prescribe from experience. –I know no better, and propose no other rule of regimen. –In costive habits, and cases of weak digestion, ripe fruits, especially grapes, figs, and sweet oranges, are good. –Such simple refreshing diet, and those mineral waters which both nourish and purify, are preferable to any medicines. –However, I do advise you, occasionally, to use laxative medicines. –Here again, choose, by your own experience, (with this material precaution not commonly adverted to,) that you should obtain the prescription for making such pills as best agree with you, so as to have them fresh made from time to time, because, when kept, they grow hard, and are apt to pass without effect. –He thinks rhubarb the safest laxative, and an excellent strengthener of the stomach: but, for the reason suggested, he advises not to use it in pills, but to cut it into small pieces of five or six grains, and to chew it. By this means, it dissolves fresh in the stomach. –Hot climates are, in summer, dangerous for us of the north. –They produce fevers in the young, and dysenteries in the old, often fatal. –Therefore, he advises a retreat to more temperate climates; and, in particular, he recommends Lausanne, or Spa, for our summer retirement.”
Thus provided with sound advice in regard to health, I was desirous to have aid and information from proper books of travels. –I purchased many volumes, not very much to my satisfaction. –I chiefly consulted Keysler, Moore, and Smollet, as modern writers, who describe the course which I intended to take. –I found Keysler heavy, tedious, trivial, and certainly not improved by the English translation from the original German. –Though deficient in substantial information, yet he points out many uncommon objects to the curious traveler. –Dr. Moore writes with propriety, some spirit, and with better information; but, to my taste, he expatiates too much. –I was best pleased with my old and excellent friend Dr. Smollet. –Testy and discontented as he is, he writes with perspicuity. –His observations are generally sensible, and even his oddities are entertaining*. –In the progress of this journal, I make some remarks on the travels of Mr. Addison and Bishop Burnet; but my memorandums are relative to Smollet, and are either supplementary, or corrective of his book. –I found Dutens’s journal very useful; and every traveler on his routes ought to have it. –Dr. Campbell’s account of the present State of Europe contains much useful information. –Gurthrie’s geographical grammar is the best book of its kind so far as I know. It is concise, accurate, and instructive. –And I think it is one very proper Vade mecum for travellers.
*One of his fellow-travellers reports this story of him, that, at an inn on their route, the landlady was a coarse red-haired woman, and a great scold. –Dr. Smollet immediately set down in his pocket-book, “All the women in this town are red-haired, and insufferable shrews.”
+Since my return to this country, I have seen a geographical grammar, published at Edinburgh, by Mr. Alexander Kincaid, which comprehends the substance of Mr. Guthrie’s work, with material additions.

Mandalas and More: January 2009
Christmas 2008. The last time we were all together as a family. From now on my Dad will be missing. It was a beautiful ceremony today. We said farewell in a warm and loving way, the way my dad was. Kerstmis 2008. De laatste keer dat we allemaal samen waren. Vanaf nu is mijn vader er niet meer bij. Het was een mooie uitvaart. Liefdevol en warm, zoals mijn vader was.

My ATC for number 9. This is my favorite one so far. Some use silver or pearl colors for nine but I always use rainbow colors. Number 9 stands for Universal Love, so I dedicate this rainbow to my Dad!
Mijn ATC voor nummer 9. Deze is van alle nummer ATC´s mijn favoriet! Die regenboog doet wat met me! Sommigen gebruiken voor het getal 9 zilver of parelmoerkleuren. Ik gebruik bijna altijd regenboogkleuren. Nummer 9 staat voor naasten- en universele liefde, dus draag ik deze regenboog op aan mijn vader.
Dazzling image of a full-circle rainbow (A Rainbow mandala, well how cool is that!!!) So where, you might wonder, would you find the crock of gold? That's what the myth says you will discover at the end of the rainbow. But sadly for treasure-hunters, this one has no end. It is a perfect circle. This awesome sight in the skies over Malaysia yesterday wasn't really a rainbow at all but a rare optical illusion called a sundog. Scroll down for more...
Rare: a full-circle rainbow in Malaysia These appear when the sun is low in the sky and its rays catch the thin vapour formed of ice crystals which lies in the atmosphere six miles above the Earth's surface. The rays are refracted by the crystals to produce what looks like a halo round the sun. Sometimes, as here, they display a spectrum of colours from red closest to the sun to a pale blue furthest from it, which has led to them being mistaken for full circle rainbows. In centuries past, they were thought of as signs of ill omen. These days they are most often mistaken for UFOs. Source and picture Mail Online I have been either very busy or very tired these last 2 days. But I have read all your sweet comments! Each and everyone of them is highly appreciated and I am happy to have so many sweet people thinking of me and my family! I have been visiting all your blogs , but had no energy or time to comment, which I will try later.I did comment to a few but it is too much for one evening. I saw some very sweet posts! I will try to pick up everything again next week. Tonight I wrote 2 speeches one for my Swedish family and one in Dutch. Bought clothes for my Mom and myself. Went to the hairdresser with Felix so we both are as new again...... Tomorrow morning I will get up at 5 and will collect Anna from Schiphol. Anna is my niece (read sister) from Sweden. My aunt Ulla and her daughter Eva (Anna`s twin sister)will come one day later. Unfortunately My Uncle Eskil can not come because of his health. Then we will go to Per to deliver some music , to collect my uniform which I forgot last week. Then we will bring my Mom´s clothes to her home and we will feed the kitties. We will visit Mom, who is still in a temporary rehab centre. So a full schedule again. The ceremony for my Dad will be on Saturday in Rotterdam. I really hope I can do my speeches without any tears. Impossible, but I hope I will be strong enough to pay my Dad the honor he deserves.

Mom and Dad in better days! My Dad died this morning at 8.50. He was a good husband, a loving Dad, the most wonderful granddad ever! An upright person! He was outstanding in his work and I know because when I was 18 we worked together, sailing on a tankership from Antwerp to the Persian Gulf and back. He as Chief Engineer and I as a messman. With his fragile health he took care of my mom, who had a stroke last year. He was a man who didn't complain. Of course he had his minor points , but who hasn't? He will be missed dearly! And always be remembered in a loving way! Thanks dad for everything. Mijn vader is vanmorgen om 8.50 gestorven. Hij was een goede echtgenoot, een liefhebbende vader en de meest fantastische Opa die je je maar kunt voorstellen! Een integer mens! Ook in zijn werk en ik kan het weten want ik ben zijn collega geweest. Ik heb met hem van Antwerpen naar de Persische Golf gevaren en terug op een mammoettanker. Hij als Chief Engineer en ik als messman. Met zijn broze gezondheid heeft het laatste 1/2 jaar voor mijn moeder gezorgd, die vorig jaar een beroerte heeft gehad. Het was een man die niet veel klaagde. Natuurlijk had hij ook zijn minder goede eigenschappen, net als iedereen. We zullen hem erg missen! En hij zal altijd op een liefdevolle manier herinnerd worden. Dank je Pa voor alles!
Last Monday, when I was in Rotterdam taking care of my mother, my friend Marja came to visit us. She was the daughter of our neighbours 44 years ago. We have remained friends ever since! She came for coffee and brought me this present! And wished me a Happy Cactus Monday! Well how cool is that!? And isn´t the cactus lovely? And the flowerpot! Gorgeous! Please visit Marja's blog and admire the baby she brought home last Saturday! Vorige week maandag, toen ik in Rotterdam was om voor mijn moeder te zorgen, kwam mijn vriendin Marja langs voor de koffie. Mijn moeder kent haar ook want ze was ons buurmeisje 44 jaar geleden en we zijn altijd vriendinnen gebleven! Ze kwam met dit cadeau en wenste me een Happy Cactus Monday! Is dat niet geweldig! De cactus is geweldig mooi en die pot,is het geen plaatje?! Je moet even opMarja's blog kijken om haar nieuwe mooie kind te bewonderen, die ze afgelopen zaterdag heeft gekregen! Oh no Sjimmie that´s a bad idea! Auch! Oh nee Sjimmie dat lijkt me geen goed plan! Auw! You better stay friends with this one! Hier kun je maar beter vrienden mee blijven! Update: Day 3 of the 5 day stand-by I am spending in Rotterdam. We took Mom out of the center, where she is staying, for the weekend and because I wasn't called for a flight I took care of her for 2 days. We took her back yesterday evening. Now I am in my brothers house and I have internet again. We visited Dad yesterday and we were not happy with the way he was. According to my brother he was much better Friday evening. I will visit him later this morning to see if he is any better. He is still very fragile, recovering with fall backs. Happy Cactus Monday!

My ATC for number 8, violet. Since the rainbow has only 7 colors I use for number 8 a violet which has more red in it. . I find violet a hard color to paint with, I have no idea why. But I do like the color, not as much as purple. Mijn ATC voor nummer 8, violet. De regenboog heeft maar 7 kleuren dus neem ik voor 8 violet. In het engels wordt violet ook voor paars gebruikt , maar ik vind dat er een verschil is tussen violet en paars, paars neigt meer naar het blauwe en violet naar het rood. Ik vind het een moeilijke kleur om mee te schilderen, heb geen idee waarom, paars vind ik gemakkelijker en ligt me beter. When violet is your favorite color you are an understanding and supportive person, and tend to think of others before yourself. You are a deep thinker and benefit from meditation. Since you are quick to lend a hand, others often go to you for help. Peaceful and loving, you have a tranquil spirit. Als violet je leivelingskleur is: Violet symboliseert wijsheid en geestelijke verheffing Violet wordt bijvoorbeeld vaak gebruikt in de rituelen van de katholieke kerk. Mensen met een verheven blik kiezen vanzelf voor violet. Maar deze kleur staat ook voor chaos en wereldvreemdheid. Omdat violet eerst en vooral de kleur is van de geestelijke activiteit, is het raadzaam haar vooral op dit vlak aan te wenden. Prima vibratie dus als voorbereiding tot meditatie, geestelijke oefeningen en filosofische studie. (lijkt allemaal wel erg op paars....) In numerology number 8 stands for executive ability, management, power, materiality, unscrupulousness. In de nummerologie is acht is het getal van de praktisch denkende organisator die goed is in zaken! De mensen met dit getal werken zowel op stoffelijk als spiritueel gebied altijd hard en intensief.

ATC for number 7. I just love purple! And love to work with it! I love all shades between purple and red. Seven is the number of spirituality, mental analysis, wisdom, fault finding and suppression ATC voor nummer 7. Ik ben gek op paars! En ik vind het heerlijk om met die kleur te werken. Alles tussen paars en rood vind ik mooi! Zeven wordt als een spiritueel getal gezien en staat voor de dagen van de week, de kleuren van de regenboog en de tonen van de toonladder. Purple embodies the balance of red simulation and blue calm. This dichotomy can cause unrest or uneasiness unless the undertone is clearly defined at which point the purple takes on the characteristics of its undertone. A sense of mystic and royal qualities, purple is a color often well liked by very creative or eccentric types. How the color purple effects us mentally and physically * Uplifting * Calming to mind and nerves * Offers a sense of spirituality * Encourages creativity When Purple is your favorite color You are creative, powerful, and influential. You are talented, and highly imaginative. You have a deep sensitivity and are very spiritual. You look to find the meaning in life. Others are attracted to your mystical qualities. You have a creative spirit. Paars is de kleur van transformatie, spiritualiteit en inspiratie. Ook staat het symbool voor magie en mystiek. Liefhebbers van paars zijn vaak zeer gevoelige mensen, die vinden dat ze niet bij de massa horen. ( I found this image on the internet, couldn´t find the artist. It is not mine) Purple/violet is associated with the number 7 and the Crown Chakra, Sanskrit name Sahasrara Description: Golden violet with 12 golden petals in the center surrounded by 960 violet petals for a total 972, but it is referred to as the thousand petal lotus. Location: Top of the head Purpose and Activity: One’s connection to the divine, as one sees it. Symbolizes detachment from illusion as well as one’s purpose and destiny. 7de of Kruinchakra De Sanskriet naam: Sahasrara De betekenis: Duizendvorm Verzorgt de energie voor de hersenen en schedel. Via dit energiecentrum heb je contact met de kosmos en dus met de daarin aanwezige universele energie en waarheden. Met een goede energie toevoer vanaf deze chakra sta je open voor wijsheden, waarheid en één zijn met de wereld. Je kunt onbevooroordeeld en bewust kijken naar jezelf en de wereld om je heen.

1.) What is it about mandalas that fascinates you so much? I like the sense of harmony when creating a mandala. And the limitation of the circle. Before I sometimes had a piece of paper in front of me and the possibilities were endless, it just made me indecisive. Somehow it didn´t let my creativity flow. I got stuck in all the paths which were open for me. Once I knew what to draw or paint it was ok. When I started with mandalas I liked the fact that birth numbers were connected with colors, so I didn´t have to pick them myself. I was forced to work with colors I didn´t like or prefer. The most unexpected things occur on paper! Meanwhile I learned to appreciate all colors. I let myself be lead by intuition and faith that it will all turn out just right. I have found my own style and I love the fact that there is always an animal in my (birth) mandalas. During the process of creating the mandala I learn a lot myself. I learned that there is no animal on this planet which isn´t interesting, once I know which animal to paint I search the internet and find the most amazing details about it. The same About colors and symbols. It is a feeling of diving into something or someone. This taught me too that every human being is beautiful , since a birth mandala unfolds the blueprint of one’s soul. Mandalas teach me how to be patient, or at least try and they quiet me down, especially my mind. After 8 years of painting mandalas I am still fascinated and I don´t want to stop yet. There is still so much to learn. In the beginning I thought it would be a temporary thing but now I think I am hooked for life. I have the feeling this is my “thing”, . 2.) When is your birthday and how do you usually celebrate it? I was born on the fourth of July (1961). I don’t like to celebrate my own birthday. When I am at home I try to go out for the whole day and do something nice with my husband and kids. Afterward my kids always say: 'Mom, that was a great party!' Last year I celebrated my birthday at home and I went to fetch my parents, to do them a favor. In the evening some friends came over and we sat outside in the garden and had a nice time. I have no idea why I don’t want to celebrate: I think you have to celebrate life, but you can do that every day. 3.) Have you always had Shi Tsus and what do you like most about this breed? I worked at a shelter when I did my study for shelter and animal kennel management. (I did beside flying). Later the manager, Corrie, asked me if I wanted to help her out with shaving and cutting some neglected animals who had been removed from their owners. Of course I said yes , I will never say no to an animal who needs my help. So I went to the shelter And had to do 2 animals. I started with an Afghan, and that took me all day. The second dog was a Shih Tzu. I decided to take her home and trim her there and bring her back the next day. I started cutting and washing her but it was an enormous job! Friends came over and I had to stop. At that time we had 6 cats (adopted from my work in the shelters as a volunteer) The friends who came that night had a nervous dog with them and all the cats were stressed and ran away. The dog lay on top of the couch and looked at me like: 'You see how well-behaved I am. I would never do anything like this dog is doing.' The friend said: 'this dog is no trouble at all. You can have 10 of these.' And my husband agreed .'Well then, we can keep just this one can’t we?' I asked. That was the moment we decided to keep her. Next day I took her to a dog parlour to have her cut. The day after we went to Antwerp because my husband told me he had seen the most beautiful leash there. On our way back we went to visit the shelter to show Corrie how beautiful she was and to tell her that we would keep her. We parked the car and the happy dog heard where we were (she was nearly blind in both eyes) and her wagging tail just dropped. She thought we were going to take her back….. She looked at us in despair. Corrie was also startled when she saw us: 'Oh no ………you are returning her?'. We told her and Snorkel (that’s what we named our Shih Tzu) not to worry. (Corrie knew that we would keep her when I took her home, she told me later) After she died 8 happy years later (she was about 8 when we got her) I wanted a pug (I just love them) , but my husband convinced me Shih Tzu’s were the best. And they are such happy, friendly and gentle dogs! Snorkel was for sure the most wonderful dog I have ever had, I still miss her. 4.) Has blogging changed your life in any way?? It sure has! It is addicting! I have met so many nice friends, warm and inspiring people! Every morning I start with coffee and blogging. I learn a lot from other bloggers, enjoy the eye candy they present me with or the wise words. There is always someone who makes me laugh. I am inspired and encouraged . I love my circle of blogfriends! 5.) Are you a good cook and what is your favourite food and drink? It is certainly not my hobby! But I can make a few yummy dishes and no one ever complains . My favourite foods: I love Asian ,Lebanese & Italian food Pizza, fries, fried rice, fastfood (love Mc Donalds), sateh with peanut sauce oh my g…… In short, everything that is bad and fattening . But I started a low carb diet this month and lost 3 kilos (6 lbs) so far ! No more fries, bread , sweets etc. I am very determined to persevere. And I feel good. After the diet I hope to sustain a more healthy lifestyle. My favorite drinks? Wine! And since I can’t drink that all day water, I just love Spa Reine! I drink a lot of that, I am very particular in my brand of water.I don’t drink tap water. And I love fresh orange juice (but I am allowed just one fresh orange a day for now) If anyone would like me to interview you with five questions just leave a comment saying "Interview me."

I´m back home! Been on a kind of emotional rollercoaster. Took care of my mom. We were called twice to the hostipal because my dad was so bad, one time to the IC unit. We thought he was going to die twice, but today his condition is stable, he was sleeping while this night he was struggling. He had pneumonia, high fever short of breath and dozens of other things . He is 80 and very weak, he has a heartcondition ,COPD, etc. The doctors told us they were not going to intubate him or do CPR when something would happen. Yesterday My SIL and I brought my mother to a rehab centre, which felt like I betrayed her.The whole time I was making telephone calls and visits. My son Lars got ill as well today, no mother to care care of him. So this afternoon after a visit to dad who was finally sleeping and not suffering anymore and my mom who did remarkably well in the centre I drove home. More emotions home: a surprise from a very dear friend! (I´ll show you later), I also got a wonderful gift from my friend Marja which I will show you next Monday! And the inauguration of Barack Obama! These things filled me with love, joy and hope! Very moving! And last but not least all your wonderful comments on my last 2 posts with all your wishes and prayers! Not only did I come home here but my blogging family was there as well to welcome me with all their heartwarming wishes! Thanks so much! I have no idea what will happen now....... I didn´t go to Dar Es Salaam as I was called to the IC 2 hours before the alarm clock went off. Tomorrow I have to call work see what is going to happen. Hope I won´t get any phone calls this night. I´m sooooo tired I´ll go to bed early. Tomorrow I will try to visit you all (and catch up again) and respond to some things beside taking care of little Lars. But right now I just want to sleep (in my own bed....) My father Lars with his grandson (my son) Lars.

ATC for number 6 Indigo is the color of the deep midnight sky. It can have a negative effect when used during a depressed state, because it will deepen the mood. Indigo symbolizes a mystical borderland of wisdom, self-mastery and spiritual realization. While blue is the color of communication with others, indigo turns the blue inward, to increase personal thought, profound insights, and instant understandings. While blue can be fast, Indigo is almost instantaneous. Inventors use indigo skills for inspirations that seem to 'come out of the blue'. Put some indigo in your life when you want: to focus on personal issues to develop intuition to step outside of everyday life for a new and interesting way of viewing a problem solitude and inner communication Indigo staat symbool voor mystiek,spirituele krachten en universeel bewustzijn. Deze kleur maakt ons ontvankelijk voor diepere inzichten, het weten van de zin achter de dingen. Het geeft ons concentratie op dat wat wezenlijk is. Het is de kleur van bestendigheid en diepte. The Brow Chakra is associated with the color indigo. It is also often referred to as the "third eye" or the "mind center." It is our avenue to wisdom - learning from our experiences and putting them in perspective. Our ability to separate reality from fantasy or delusions is in connection with the healthfulness of this chakra. Achieving the art of detachment beyond "small mindedness" is accomplished through developing impersonal intuitive reasoning. It is through an open brow chakra that visual images are received. Nummer 6 en indigo horen bij het derde oog chakra "Ajna" Het voorhoofdchakra zorgt voor een verbinding met de geestelijk wereld en opent de poorten naar intuitieve kennis. In dit chakra kan men het vermogen om telepathisch te communiceren ontwikkelen. Een ander aspect is zelfkennis. Een verstoring van dit chakra uit zich meestal op geestelijk- en zielsniveau, bijvoorbeeld angst, een gevoel van zinloosheid en doelloosheid en concentratieproblemen. De symptonen op fysiek niveau zijn hoofdpijn, migraine en ziekten van de zintuigen. Een overactief voorhoofdchakra kan waanvoorstellingen en schizofrenie tot gevolg hebben. Het voorhoofdchakra is gezeteld tussen de wenkbrauwen, midden op het voorhoofd en levert energie aan alle endocriene klieren. Indigo and violet are different from purple, which cannot be seen on the electromagnetic spectrum but can be achieved by mixing mostly blue and part red light. I find mixing indigo difficult but I like the process. I have not found a ready indigo blue acrylic yet. Just before I left I bought a rainbow maker! Isn´t that cool! It arrived when I was away, so home was waiting a few wonderful and colorful surprises.......(more about the other surprises later) Rainbow in my room projects a rainbow on your wall. Indigo is between blue and purple, the 6th color of the rainbow. Net voor ik vertrok had ik een Rainbow in my Room besteld. Eigenlijk voor kinderen, maar we vinden hem allemaal leuk hier in huis! Hij wachtte op me bij thuiskomst samen met wat andere verassingen (meer daarover later). rainbow in my room projecteert een regenboog op je muur of plafond. indigo is ook de zesde kleur van de regenboog, tussen blauw en paars. Have a Rainbow Day!

This mandala (9 1/2 x 12 1/2") I made in Tehran. It was snowing! I didn´t feel like going out so I created this mandala and made some ATC cards. (How many should I have before I can throw myself in the trading arena?) Had a good time with the crew there, but I´m glad to be back home again. Had a tough flight back with a lady who simulated a stomach bleeding, a friendly Iranian doctor spend 3 hours of his precious time on her. Once on the ground and when the ambulance employees showed up she was miraculously recovered and she turned around her story. What people do to get a seat in the business class........ I felt so betrayed. I had to sleep in my car on my way home. I have just slept on the couch and I feel a bit better. Tomorrow I will be as new again. The Cactus Monday post was a remote one, I programmed it in blogger and it worked! It showed up on Monday! But I couldn´t visit my fellow cactuteers to wish them all a Happy Cactus Monday, as I had no internet in Tehran, but I will soon. I will have a lot of catching up to do..... I will resume my color ATC posts later this week. Read all your lovely comments and took a peek at your blogs, will be back tomorrow to scroll through everything I missed. Missed you all! Deze mandala (24 x 32 cm)heb ik in Teheran gemaakt. Het sneeuwde daar en ik had weinig zin om naar buiten te gaan dus ik heb lekker geschilderd en ATC´s gemaakt. (Hoeveel moet ik er eigenlijk hebben voordat ik me in het ruil strijdperk kan gooien?) We hadden een leuke crew en dat maakt het verblijf daar een stuk aangenamer. Maar ik ben blij dat ik weer thuis ben. Het was een zware terug vlucht met een vrouw die een maagbloeding simuleerde, een aardige Iraanse dokter is er uren mee zoet geweest en ik ook. Uiteindelijk werd ze op Schiphol door ambulance personeel verwelkomd en toen waren de klachten als sneeuw voor de zon verdwenen en verdraaide ze haar hele verhaal. Wat sommige mensen wel niet doen voor aandacht en een stoel in de Business Class.......Ik voelde me echt in de maling genomen.Niet alleen aan boord had ik er mijn handen aan vol , maar eenmaal op Schiphol had ik ook nog een administratieve rompslomp waardoor ik pas een uur later in de auto zat en in allerlei files terecht kwam. Ik heb zelfs op een parkeerplaats geslapen, want ik trok het niet in één keer naar huis. Vanmiddag geslapen en morgen hoop ik weer helemaal fit te zijn. De cactus maandag post had ik in blogger geprogrammeerd en het is gelukt! Alleen kon ik maandag niet jullie blogs bezoeken om jullie posts te zien en jullie Happy Cactus Monday te wensen, maar dat doe ik gauw. Ik moet weer een hoop inhalen. Ik zal mijn nummer ATC´s van de week hervatten. Heb al jullie lieve reacties gelezen en alvast even gekeken op jullie blogs, maar morgen doe ik het op mijn gemak. Heb het bloggen en jullie gemist!

(The view from my upstairs window before I left yesterday) Still in Rotterdam with my friend Aulikki. It's so good to see her again and I really hope they leave me alone today so we can catch up a little more. My shift ends at 15.30, when I'm still here I will do some shopping and make dinner tonight. It's still freezing here and the whole country,except me, is ice skating. Yesterday, when I drove to Rotterdam the landscape was breathtaking beautiful! There was rime everywhere. It was so beautiful that I felt very emotional. I enjoyed my ride. Nog steeds in Rotterdam bij mijn vriendin Aulikki. Heerlijk om haar weer te zien en ik hoop dat ze me vandaag met rust laten zodat we nog een beetje kunnen bijpraten. Mijn dienst zit er om 15.30 op, dan ga ik boodschappen doen en vanavond koken voor Aulikki. Het vriest nog steeds en het hele land is aan t schaatsen (ik niet). Gisteren toen ik naar Rotterdam reed was het zo sprookjesachtig mooi onderweg, daar kon ik helaas geen foto's van maken. Boven een foto s'morgens genomen, maar die is niets vergeleken bij wat ik later zag. Het was zo mooi , dat het me gewoon ontroerde! (Aulikki's Mandala, I have painted for her a few years ago) PS: I have been called and I will travel to Tehran tomorrow. So I won't be able to blog untill Wednesday. I'm going to make dinner now. See you later and Wednesday I will visit you all! Thanks for all your lovely comments!

The Culture Fix: True Detective and The King in Yellow
Forbidden Knowledge and Depersonalization in the 21st Century
"It is possible that what distinguishes poetic drama from prosaic drama is a kind of doubleness in the action, as if it took place on two planes at once..." - T.S. Eliot
"Something Deep and Dark, Detectives...something Deep and Dark." - Rustin Cohle: True Detective
Last month HBO wrapped up the first season of one of the hottest and most acclaimed new television crime drama series to appear in some time, True Detective. It was created by Nic Pizzolatto, and he wrote all eight first-season episodes, while Cary Joji Fukunaga (acclaimed director of the 2011 film, Jane Eyre) directed them; this included a particularly memorable fourth-episode featuring a concluding one-take tracking-shot in the projects at night where Matthew McConaughey's character, "Rust" Cohle, working undercover while infiltrating a biker-gang, is forced to break his cover after a botched drug raid while disguised as police officers, and make an elaborate escape with his coerced gang-member contact.
The show takes place on the coastal plain of south Louisiana State (where it was filmed on location), giving the setting and proceedings a Southern Gothic and neo-noir feel and vibe. It tells the darkly harrowing and deeply personal story of two character-flawed homicide detectives, Rustin Cohle and Martin Hart (played by Woody Harrelson), hunting down a disturbing, ritualistic serial killer. We learn that Cohle was partnered with Hart after being released from a psychiatric institution, which was brought on due to his having shot three cartel members he was investigating while undercover, and was wounded in the gunfight himself. His two year-old daughter had died in an accident a few years earlier, and his marriage never recovered from the tragic loss. Cohle had requested the new assignment pairing him up with Hart; a personally-troubled, womanizer, who's married and has two young daughters of his own at the time.
The show is a highly detailed police-procedural and complex character-study of these two diametrically-opposite police detectives working together within the Southern Gothic backdrop and sweltering atmosphere of a particularly lost piece of Americana; a palpable, decadent ghost world of a once proudly Southern aristocracy slowly and agonizingly debilitating since the end of the American Civil War over a hundred years prior; and some of its "ghosts" are corporeal...and extremely violent.
In the first episode, Hart and Cohle are being interviewed, separately, in 2012, by two contemporary detectives, about a recent murder that had been staged in similar fashion to the one they had investigated, and thought to have solved, 17 years before in 1995. That initial murder involved one Dora Lange; a former prostitute. The detectives find out that she had been associated with a religious school called Light of Way Academy which was owned by the Reverend Billy Lee Tuttle; a powerful and influential figure in the community whom Cohle takes an instant disliking to when he and "Marty" are introduced to him at their precinct. We later learn that Cohle's hostile suspicions about the Reverend regarding Dora Lange, and other unfortunate victims, prove correct, as it is revealed that Tuttle and other, likely equally powerful and privileged men, were directly involved with these murders over the course of several years.
During the several interrogations and interviews of people connected somehow with Dora Lange and the Light of Way Academy, Cohle and Hart get wind of some mysterious character called "The Yellow King", and a dark and menacing place referred to as "Carcosa". Cohle adds this information to his ever-expanding notebook, or ledger, that he carries with him everywhere while on the job. This conspicuous accoutrements earns Cohle the pejorative nickname of "The Tax Man". But his professionalism and obsession to detail, and the chance of a previously non-relevant piece of evidence or information suddenly gaining importance, proves rewarding when the initial case he worked on with Hart in 1995 is revealed to be, in fact, unresolved.
After a 2002 falling out with each other over Cohle being seduced by Hart's wife provoking them to a brutal fist-fight in the parking lot of their police precinct, their partnership - and therefore friendship - remains estranged until ten years later after Cohle approaches Hart (after having disappeared for a couple of years, reverting back to his alcoholism in the process) with the proposition that they bury the hatchet and buddy-up again to finally catch the "Yellow King", following their respective interviews by the two current detectives working the re-opened "Dora Lange case"; this included Cohle himself being implicated as a suspect. Cohle has gone back to all of his collected notes and pieces of evidence in his ledger, rented a storage-locker, and splashed its walls with his old case files. He also procured a rather damning, and harrowingly disturbing, snuff-film on video-cassette, that basically incriminates Reverend Tuttle, after he broke into Tuttle's home and burglarized it looking for the evidence that would ultimately bring Tuttle down; something Cohle always wanted, as he instinctively knew Tuttle was bad from the get-go.
Ironically, it's a seemingly mundane detail that Hart actually notices, as he and Cohle go over the case-file again and again, that breaks the case wide-open for them and leads them straight to the front door of "the third man", or rather the "green-eared spaghetti monster" (as described by a child who claimed to have been chased through the woods by said monster), involved in the Dora Lange murder and ritualistic mise en scene they found in 1995 by a lone tree in a field. That tree, I think, is an important and telling "sign" within the dark story that was being told through evil theatrics by the monstrous culprits. It references the "tree of knowledge" from the Eden story in the Book of Genesis; that it was "forbidden knowledge" literally tasted, first by Eve and then Adam, followed by punishment/banishment handed down to both of them from God for incurring "Man's first disobedience". And, of course, it also references more directly to The King in Yellow mythos that began, interestingly enough, exactly 100 years before the diegetic events in 1995 within True Detective's narrative, with the publication of Robert W. Chambers' 1895 collection of short stories; four of which make direct references to a horrifying, supernatural entity mentioned in a "fictional play". This play, itself titled The King in Yellow, has two acts. The first act appears rather tame and innocuous, but the second act purports to render its reader(s) either hopelessly despaired or utterly insane. Chambers deliberately provides very scant details and only a couple of quotes from the play, thus effectively creating an unsettling and mysterious aura surrounding this "play of the damned".
The 1890s were a significant time in Western history and culture. In fact, the last two decades of the 19th century are particularly crucial. But, contextually speaking, regarding Chambers' The King in Yellow collection of short stories, the 90s were symbolically rife with ambiguous meaning and a sense of foreboding, despite its reputation for being the so-called "Gay Nineties"; a, perhaps, anachronism coined out of sheer rose-colored glasses nostalgia over two decades after the fin de siècle - the French phrase used to describe the latter half of the 19th century, which means "turn of the century" and implies the social/cultural unrest and anxiety leading up to the beginning of the 20th century - alleged to have been created by the artist Robert V. Culter in the 1920s. The 1890s are also, quite interestingly, referred to as "The Yellow Nineties". The color yellow seems to have dominated the decade for considerably good reasons. In the East the color yellow has a very positive connotation, but in the West that's not necessarily the case, as it is well-known to be associated with cowardice, ambiguity and betrayal.
First, during the 1890s, and even going back as far as, at least, the 1870s, there was a vast wave of Asian immigration that took place in both the U.S,A, and Britain, particularly. This prompted a prodigious sense of xenophobia among Americans and Brits. They even referred to the massive immigration as "The Yellow Peril". So there was an extreme invasion of what would have seemed like untethered exoticism from "the other". A popular comic strip character of the time was called "The Yellow Kid", which alluded to the new, but tasteless and sensationalized, journalism that sprouted like a vile weed in the 1890s within the pages of Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and William Randolph Heart's New York Journal newspapers as they viciously battled each other for circulation supremacy.
The literary movements of the time during the fin de siècle were: Realism, Naturalism, Symbolism, and Decadent. The Decadent movement (a name originally given by some critics as a negative criticism against the perceived literary trends happening then), particularly, provided a key literary magazine during the mid-90s, published in London, and co-edited by renowned illustrator, and memorable contributor, Aubrey Beardsley. The magazine was called The Yellow Book. It is popularly associated with famed Decadent writer and wit, Oscar Wilde, but he never actually made a contribution to the magazine. However, his association is understandable because it was from his famous 1891 novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, that provided the name for The Yellow Book. The phrase actually refers to a strange novel mentioned in Wilde's book-length story. That particular "strange novel" actually exists, and was originally published in France in 1884. The novel in question is J.K. Huysmans' A Rebours (i.e., Against Nature, or Against the Grain). It's a very important novel, historically speaking, and is usually considered the "decadent novel" par excellence.
Huysmans' novel tells the peculiar and insular story of a well-to-do dandy-aesthete called Jean des Esseintes, who leads a leisurely existence merely indulging his passion and preoccupation with great modern literature and poetry and art, to the detrimental consideration of his loathing for bourgeois society and its repressive niceties. Des Esseintes forgoes both religion, and nature itself, for his ideal world of "art for art's sake" (a phrase immediately associated with Wilde and his fellow "decadents"). The novel expresses an emerging attitude that overtook much of the latter part of the 19th century in conjunction with the mounting dissipation of religious belief and faith, particularly among the artists and writers and philosophers of the day, namely Friedrich Nietzsche, who, in his 1882 book, The Gay Science, officially declared that "God is dead". This monumentally controversial, and flagrantly misunderstood (perhaps willfully), claim has continued to haunt and incense the Western world ever since, still reeling from the undulating repercussions of said declaration whatever signs were, and are, showing apparent religious sustainability. The general collective belief in God, that sustained the Western world since the fall of Rome, has never recovered, nor will it ever, in my opinion. The initial crucial breach from belief in God was actually done in the 16th century (by the "bifurcation of human consciousness" mentioned in Frank Kermode's 1957 book, The Romantic Image, and Copernicus' discovery of Heliocentrism in our solar system, just to name two colossally important factors); only started being viscerally felt in the 17th (i.e., Shakespeare's great tragedies, especially Hamlet, the mourning plays in German Tragic Drama and Rembrandt's paintings, for instance); and acknowledged in the 18th (i.e., the Enlightenment/Age of Reason), where, finally it was accepted in the 19th century by the Realists, Symbolists, Naturalists, Decadents and philosophers.
One other important thing that characterized that century's second-half and its altering collective psyche is the idea of depersonalization. Fittingly, the term and concept were originally used by one Henri Frederic Amiel, the Swiss philosopher, poet and critic, who became known, posthumously, for his Journal Intime (i.e., Private Journal). In one key passage Amiel wrote this in 1880: "I find myself regarding existence as though from beyond the tomb, from another world; all is strange to me; I am, as it were, outside my own body and individuality; I am depersonalized, detached, cut adrift. Is this madness?" In Ambrose Bierce's 1886 short story, "An Inhabitant of Carcosa" (which Chambers borrowed from Bierce for his "King in Yellow" stories), a lone traveler uncannily narrates a very similar tone to what Amiel wrote in his journal. Perhaps the single best illustration in art that depicts the strange, alienating and horrifying sense of depersonalization is Edvard Munch's ultra-famous 1893 painting, The Scream. In 1898 Ludovic Dugas was the first to use depersonalization as a clinical term and disorder. In True Detective, Cohle, particularly (but even Hart to a degree), experiences a chronic sense of depersonalization.
Robert W. Chambers spent several years in Paris studying at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and absorbed much of the Parisian culture, namely its literary culture. He must have taken note of the decidedly negative significance of the color yellow that so pervaded through that final fin de siècle decade when he was developing his series of weird short stories about "The King in Yellow" back in New York.
So what does "The King in Yellow" ultimately represent in Chambers' stories, and how is it that Nic Pizzolatto was inspired to incorporate it into his True Detective television series? It's rather telling, I feel, that the 17 year timeline featured in the show begins in 1995; a very significant year when considering what has transpired in our culture and society in general ever since. As was the case during the fin de siècle, there was a fair amount of "millennial tension" leading up to the year 2000-2001. Of course, there was the mainstream commercialization of Windows 95, which brought cyber-space into most homes, and there was the sudden ubiquity of cell-phones everywhere, and, lest we forget - to our collective chagrin now - the Y2K crisis. But more deeply there was (and still is!) the collective sense that we, as a species, were about to enter what some have purported to claim as "a post-human state" (or as Jean-Francois Lyotard called "The Inhuman"), a submerging within the digital world as a final kiss-off to 3-dimensional nature and our diurnal relationship with it, as well as the outer alterations of our own bodies and sense of identity (incessant tattooing and piercing; body-perfection enhancement to reflect all-invasive advertising's consumer ideal; and artificial, digital appendages a la the ear clip-on and exoskeleton apparatuses for gaming purposes).
Like H.P. Lovecraft's later Cthulhu mythos stories, Chambers' The King in Yellow stories implicate the sense of "cosmic fear" following the "death of God" declaration that preceded them as a response, out of psychological necessity. They connote a warning against the pursuit of "forbidden knowledge", that which we were not meant to learn, to find, it would seem. Apparently, without God (or even Enlightenment-inducing Reason) as an anchor for giving us a sense of meaning in the cosmos, we are now adrift and rudderless, searching for new meaning and purpose because our old transcendental signifieds (in the words of post-structuralist philosopher, Jacques Derrida) have dissipated leaving us to contend with, completely on our own, with no help from above or below, a chaotic mess of a semiotic free-for-all, where we, individually now, are devising our own mythologies and belief systems; many of them, naturally, taking on the characteristics of past systems, but with a Frankensteinian flair for the pastiche, the recklessly thrown-together, like an amateur putting gauze over a wound; and the "wound" is deep and festering, especially psychically speaking.
As Chambers did during the fin de siècle, and Lovecraft did during the interbellum of two World Wars (which only exacerbated, or even confirmed, the loss of God), I've good reason to believe that Pizzolatto, consciously or not, is expressing our sense of dread and uncertainty in the early years of this new millennium. But with a, perhaps stubborn, perhaps admirable, sense of optimism, which was played out in the last scene of the eighth and final episode of season one of the series, when Cohle, who was nearly mortally wounded by Errol Childress (the third murderer, and alleged "Yellow King" in the Dora Lange case) while in pursuit of him in the Carcosa maze located near Childress' eerie residence, has a vision where he sees a cosmic vortex moments before he's stabbed. While leaving the hospital with Marty (who he's been now reconciled with, not surprisingly, given what they both just went through together), Cohle tries to explain what he saw and what it meant, concluding that he could "feel" his dead daughter's presence, and that "the light is winning" amongst all the darkness. Some have interpreted this experience/vision Cohle has as a re-newed religious belief welling up inside of him (and hence "cop-out" - pardon the ironic pun - for the end of this first season), but I don't think that's necessarily the case. Let us hope he's right, at least, about finding/seeing some kind of light and pathway through our contemporary semiotic crisis.
[Interesting side-note regarding True Detective's Louisiana location: the state was originally claimed by the French explorer Rene-Robert le Salle in the late 17th century. He decided to call it Louisiana, which in English means "land of Louis", referring to Louis XIV of France, who was also known as "The Sun King"; and the color we usually associate with, or to describe it, is, of course, yellow.]

THIS WAS GREAT. I have suffered from depersonalziation for over a year now and rewatched this season to specifically note Cohle's demeanor and his perception of the world. I have experienced a great deal of change in my own perception of "reality" and seem to deal with the same internal conflict. Great post.
James Barr 30 January 2016 at 10:22
Thanks so much! I'm glad my article struck a profound chord with you. I, myself, have definitely felt the symptoms of what we would call "depersonalization", likely shortly after the millennium, I believe (I can actually read the evidence in my journal entries around that time). I would imagine there a more and more people, particularly, above the age of 30, or certainly 40, who have been hit with a sense of depersonalization, episodically or chronically. I think a big part of the reason for this has to do with the "semiotic chaos" (which is wholly wreaking havoc with our sense of identity, personally and collectively) the world is currently mired in. I hope to flesh this concept/affliction out soon in a new article, because it's incredibly important and most people are completely unaware of it. So stay tuned, take care and stay strong. :-)

5 Back To School Shopping Mistakes That Cause Damage To One’s Purse
Are you making big holes in your pocket with back to school shopping? Here are the 5 mistakes made by parents while they venture shopping for back to school. Let us see how we can avoid them.
Failing to make a detailed budget for back to school shopping
Shopping itself is a costly affair as things and products attract one’s eye and we tend to spend more than expected. Back to school is an occasion that demands a number of things and without a detailed budget on all things essential, your shopping goes on in an endless manner. You have an empty pocket in the end of the day. It is better to make a list of things essential with sub categories for them like school supplies, clothes, electronic needs etc.
First, you need to make an estimate of your total spending limit and then allot spending limits for all these categories. While shopping, if one category supersedes the limit, take care to cut short the other one and manage the expenditure wisely.
One more benevolent system is making envelopes for budget categories. Filling up labeled envelops with cash of spending limit for each category will ease you into shopping without over spending on any category. As the cash melts away from the envelope, you understand that it is time to stop that particular category, say school supplies, and go ahead with the next.
Entering the shop without a shopping list
Skipping the shopping list and entering a shop is like plunging into action without an action plan. You do not know what your needs are. A thorough list of the things to be bought gives a clear picture of your purchase, estimate and essentials.
Back To School Jubilance With Smart Prep | PRUnderground http://t.co/E8l2hATavy
— Tutor Pace (@TutorPace) August 10, 2015
Spending on goods that are available at home is an unnecessary expenditure and is highly avoidable. Rummaging the junk drawers for available school supplies and ransacking the closets for the old and fit clothes will undo half of the expenditure. It is the way to make a smart list of the necessary things for back to school shopping.
Wants are many in life and they always top the list without our knowing it. Whatever we see, we want to buy. Have a check with your buying spree and involve your kids also in the process. Suppose they wish something that is not the need of the time, talk to them about how it is different from your need. Suppose you have some money for buying non essentials, keep it for the most valuable purchase or keep it safe for yet another day. Or deposit it in the bank to have some compound interest accrue out of it.
Shying away from negotiation
Negotiation is not a bad thing. You save your money through smart bargains and nothing more about it. Make your bargains smart in big deals like purchasing a computer. Know the market price for the deals you make and go ahead with bargaining. Get some extra accessories like cases, chargers and cables to sweeten the deal.
7 #backtoschool tips for parents of #preschoolers http://t.co/FPGP0T5JRH #homeschool #homeschooling pic.twitter.com/qItxbuODlN
Procrastination is the worst enemy
Last minute hunting would drag on your time and limit your bargains. You could reserve online shopping a few days before school as it has home deliveries and at times there are special rebates and discounts on special dates. Or else, you need sufficient time to hang around and make smart deals and prudent purchases. Take your own time in back to school shopping to cut down unwanted expenditure.
Taking into note all these mistakes and ways to avoid them, you can come to understand how your back to school shopping can be prudent and focused with an eye on less expense and more value for the money you spend.

Home › Unlabelled › Red Lion Hotels Corporation - Red Lion Inn Oregon
Diposting oleh Unknown - 05.36 -
Red Lion, headquartered in Denver, Colorado, has 73,200 rooms across more than 1,100 properties (as of October 2016) in North America.
Establishment and diversification
The company originated as a property management and commercial development company when it was founded in Spokane, Washington in 1937 under the name Goodale & Barbieri Company. In 1976, Goodale & Barbieri acquired the River Inn in Spokane, launching the company into the hotel business. The Cavanaughs brand name was later created in 1980 for its hotel operations. By 1987, the company established a computerized event ticketing company, G&B Select A Seat, which is now known as TicketsWest.
1990sâ€"2000s: IPO, regional growth, and rebranding
Preparing for an Initial Public Offering, Goodale & Barbieri Company adopted its hotel brand into its corporate identity in 1997, changing its name to Cavanaughs Hospitality Corporation. The IPO was completed in April 1998, and Cavanaughs began trading under the ticker CVH. By the end of 1999, Cavanaughs announced it would acquire its regional rival, Seattle-based WestCoast Hotels, Inc. with transaction closing on January 7, 2000. On March 1, 2000, the combined company began trading under the new ticker, WEH. Recognizing the broader geographic reach of the WestCoast name, Cavanaughs also changed its name to WestCoast Hospitality Corporation with the launch of its new stock ticker and announced plans to rebrand its hotels into the WestCoast name.
In addition to the expanded hotel portfolio following the acquisition of WestCoast, the company also announced plans to franchise properties under its brand.
By 2001, the company grew again; this time by announcing it would acquire the Red Lion Hotels and Inns brand and properties (along with several other DoubleTree properties) from Hilton Hotels. Capitalizing on the Red Lion brand, a majority of the company's WestCoast Hotels properties were rebranded to the Red Lion name within the two years following the acquisition. In September 2005, further realizing the revitalization of the Red Lion name, WestCoast Hospitality Corporation assumed its present-day name, Red Lion Hotels Corporation.
In 2006, RLHC divested its property development operations by spinning-off that segment into an independent entity, G&B Real Estate Companies.
2010s: Acquisitions and transformation to a national company
Red Lion Hotels Corporation further expanded its hotel operations. In October 2014, RLHC announced a new upscale conversion brand, Hotel RL. In April 2015, RLHC acquired GuestHouse International, LLC and its two brands, GuestHouse International and Settle Inn & Suites, from Boomerang Hotels in a deal with up to $10 million. The acquisition more than doubled Red Lion's size from 57 properties to 130 properties and added 5,187 rooms to its portfolio.
In September 2016, RLHC acquired Vantage Hospitality Group and its brands Vantage Hotels, Americas Best Value Inn, Canadas Best Value Inn, Lexington by Vantage, America's Best Inns and Suites, Country Hearth Inns, Jameson Inns, Signature Inn, and 3 Palms Hotels & Resorts.
Following up on its acquisition of Vantage and its nine brands, RLHC pared down its brand lineup and positioning in May 2017 to eliminate market position overlaps and provide its franchisees the flexibility to move between brands. In addition to retiring the Vantage name, the announcement eliminated five of the nine Vantage brands â€" keeping only Signature Inn, Americas Best Value Inn, Canadas Best Value Inn, and Country Hearth Inn & Suites. All five of Red Lion's pre-acquisition brands were maintained. The eliminated Vantage brands competed directly with Red Lion's existing brands or had a very small footprint. With the brand realignment, RLHC also subdivided its economy segment into three tiers â€" upper economy, economy, and lower economy â€" and promoted its existing GuestHouse brand to the upper economy segment.
As a result of its acquisition of Vantage Hospitality, which transformed the company's footprint from regional to national, Red Lion Hotels Corporation moved its corporate headquarters from Spokane to Denver, Colorado, in August 2017, to be more centrally located to its franchisees, partners, vendors, and two regional offices. The former headquarters office in Spokane will be maintained as a regional office along with the former headquarters of Vantage Hospitality in Coral Springs, Florida.
On August 17, 2017, RLHC announced it had sold its TicketsWest business to Paciolan, a ticketing business which is owned by Learfield.
Red Lion Hotels Corporation operates nine hotel brands, covering a broad range of market segments from economy to upscale:
Midscale select service
The Franchise Segment licenses the Red Lion brand to third-party hotel owners. As of 2009 there were approximately 17 franchised Red Lion hotels. Hotel owners can franchise as either a full service Red Lion Hotel, which offer restaurant and banquet meeting space; a limited service Red Lion Inn & Suites; or under the Leo Hotel Collection, for unique, boutique or historic hotels. The Las Vegas Hotel & Casino was the first hotel to join the Leo Collection in February 2013.
Entertainment Segment (TicketsWest)
Founded in 1987 as G&B Select-A-Seat, TicketsWest offers a state of the art ticketing solution that includes a robust website, a point and click single event and season/subscription ticketing system with added functionality for integrated group sales, secondary sales, added-value item sales, access control and fund raising management. All of these features, combined with the unique flexibility to allow patrons to print their tickets in the convenience of their home or office define TicketsWest as the leader in computerized ticketing. TicketsWest has developed a reputation for being the most dynamic and versatile computerized ticketing system in the United States. TicketsWest, on average, accounts for approximately 9% of revenue.
RLHC operates a loyalty program called Hello Rewards.
In mid-2008 Columbia Pacific Opportunity Fund, an investment manager for the Baty family, the Seattle founders of Emeritus Corporation, submitted an unsolicited acquisition offer of $9.50 per share to acquire Red Lion. At the time, Columbia Pacific held 12.7 percent of Red Lion.
By October Columbia Pacific had withdrawn its offer and, shortly thereafter, the Red Lion board of directors enacted a poison pill plan, drawing the ire of Columbia Pacific who stated its belief that Red Lion should be liquidated because company-owned assets were in "excess of Red Lion's market capitalization."
Later that year, after the share price increased significantly, Red Lion removed its poison pill.

{Link Adventure}: Downhill Demesne and Mussenden Temple
On our second day in Northern Ireland, Mary and I set out
to find the Downhill Palace Ruins and Mussenden Temple in
Castlerock, County Londonderry. (Meanwhile, the boys were
golfing at Portstewart.) The writeups in tourist information
we read didn't do this place justice, but I'm glad Mary wanted
to go see it because it was wonderful! I think it is something
you have to see in person to fully appreciate, but I took
pictures to share anyway. You can at least get the idea!
Upon arriving, we walked through a gate. Next to it was
a small building converted into a personal residence, home
to a man named Robin. He came out to visit with us as we
passed by...An interesting and eccentric man to say the
least! Meeting him was a perfect way to start our visit.
He gave us a little history on the land and assured us we
Robin pointed us in the direction of a trail. It was a lovely
walk. This path was beautifully maintained, dense with
greenery on either side and spotted with gorgeous flowers.
After we walked awhile, the view opened up. The first thing
we saw was...
...the mausoleum.
As we continued on, it quickly became clear that we
were in a very special place. Dramatic, romantic and
breathtakingly beautiful. Downhill Demense was
settled into a pretty remote area with a-m-a-z-i-n-g
views in all directions. If you were to stand in one place
and slowly spin around, your eyes would fall first on
beautiful, rolling green countryside. Next, on the wide
open, pounding Atlantic Ocean. And finally, on a
forested area packed with Christmas trees!
In the center of all that is the elegant mansion of
Downhill that now lays in ruins. To it's side is the
gardeners home, Dovecote and walled gardens.
And then between the palace and the ocean, on
the edge of the land's jutting peninsula, is the
circular Mussenden Temple. It hangs on the edge
of a cliff over the ocean and a beautiful coast line
that's half rugged and half soft with sandy beaches.
While the wind whips, the sheep and cows spend
the afternoon grazing. I'm certainly not exaggerating
when I describe this place as grand!
Downhill Palace was home to Frederick Augustus Hervey,
the Earl of Bristol (in London) and then the Bishop of
Derry (in Northern Ireland). Construction of the palace
started in 1776 but wasn't completed for almost 20 years.
The design was primarily that of Michael Shanahan from
Cork (Southern Ireland), but ideas from Sir John Soane
and Placido Columbani were incorporated into the final
The interior of the palace was said to have been quite
remarkable, complete with walls covered in fine
plasterwork and frescos, ornately decorated ceilings,
and fine carved marble fireplaces. The Bishop made
many trips into Europe where he collected fine art work
-- both originals and copies of the old masters, as well
as pieces from contemporary artists. He showcased them
in the gallery, also home to a grand organ and a significant
collection of sculptures. The gallery's ceiling was covered
in a copy of Guido's Aurora.
Sadly, a fire in 1851 destroyed much of the palace,
including the grand gallery and it's contents. It was
then rebuilt under the design of John Lanyon.
This is a view from inside the palace looking towards the front
entry area. One thing that was really nice about these ruins
is that rooms were labeled...entry way, study, bedrooms, etc.
It really helped give us a visual as we were walking through it.
This is taken from the side...The ocean would be to my left.
This shows Downhill House, before the fire. It was said to have
"as many windows as there were days in the year," according to
a writeup from the BBC I found on the internet. Much later,
during the second world war, the Royal Airforce used the house.
The Bishop's heirs, who lived in the mansion until 1922, sold the
house in 1944 after which it fell into disrepair. The roof was
removed in 1949, and it's contents were largely taken away.
The National Trust, who now maintains the ruins and it's
surrounding land, only acquired the property in 1980. They
apparently did a great deal of clean up and maintenance to
make sure it was safe for people to pass through the ruins.
An inside view of Downhill House
Next is the temple...and really the best part! Located
between the palace and the ocean. Below is a side view.
(From where I was standing while taking this, the
mansion was on my left and the ocean on my right.)
The Mussenden Temple was built between 1783 and 1785,
commissioned by Hervey. The design was based on the
Temple of Vesta at Tivoli outside Rome. "It's spectacular
position on the cliff edge is an illustration of the eighteenth
century desire to contrast a sublime and romantic with a
logical and civilized building," according to the information
posted on the grounds by The National Trust.
Here is a close up of the detail around the temple. Most of the
detail work was done by David McBlaine. His father, James,
carved the basic structure. There are sixteen of the columns
you see here, each connected by curved pieces of wall.
The words around the buildings, originally covered in gold,
were written by the Roman poet Lucretius. They read,
"Tis pleasant safely to behold from shore the rolling ship
and hear the tempest roar." So, this temple is a place to enjoy
the ocean in close view while staying protected from the
The Bishop's coat of arms is displayed over the Temple's
door. The building was named in honor of the Bishop's cousin,
Mrs. Frideswide Mussenden. Sadly, Mrs. Mussenden died
at the age of 22, before the temple was completed.
Another side view of the temple. That's the Atlantic!
This photo gives you a little better idea of the cliff that's
home to the temple. Although, it doesn't really illustrate the
height that well, a couple of the pictures coming up might give
you a better idea of it....
Here is Mary walking into the temple via the staircase.
Directly behind her is the mansion.
Once you're standing inside, you can appreciate this building
even more. "At the four points of the compass the walls open
out into three windows and an entrance door," also from the
information posted on the grounds from the National Trust.
This is the view from the west, seen clearly out the left window.
Straight ahead or to the north, all you see is ocean.
Continuing around and looking east, you see a more rugged
coast line. It's still home to beaches, but they are not as
prominent on this side. Also, there is a tunnel that's been
created here...It runs along the coast in front of the temple
and along the beach to the west.
Finally, going back full circle, here is the view through
the entrance, looking back on the main residence.
The temple ceiling. A perfect dome.
The temple was used as a library. It's interior walls were
once lined with bookcases.
In a time when Catholics were repressed, the Bishop allowed
local Roman Catholics to use the crypt, or basement of the
temple, as a place to celebrate mass. For someone in his
position to offer such a thing was considered generous and
tolerant. This photo is of the entrance to the crypt.
And now for a peak inside. The crypt is now used as storage
for supplies that can be pulled out when the temple is used
for a place to hold a wedding ceremony. How amazing would
We took a minute to sit and appreciate the view.
There were sheep, goats and a cows on the land there.
We had to watch the ground when walking from part to
part. It was a bit of a landmine. : )
This is the Dovecote and Ice House at Downhill Demense.
Originally, the Ice House was to be put under the Mausoleum,
but plans changed and it ended up here. The information
posted said this is the only known situation in Ireland of
positioning one beneath a Dovecote.
I think the Ice House is pretty much self explanatory, but
if you grew up in the 20th century like I did, you're probably
wondering what a Dovecote is. Well, wonder no more...
Apparently, "keeping doves was common practice on estates
from the medieval period to the 18th century as they provided
a valuable source of fresh meat and eggs", said the postings
by The National Trust. They continued to explain that "their
droppings were also highly prized as garden manure. The
dovecote accommodated about 100 pairs of birds...Each pair
produced two chicks about eight times a year." There was an
opening on the south side of the Dovecote where the birds
could get in and out.
Thanks to the research from the National Trust, we also
know "entry to the Ice House Chamber would have been
via a leather-lined door equipped with a strong lock to deter
thieves. And the passage to this door would have been filled
with straw that served as insulation.
Filling the Ice House would have taken one to two days
and was a project undertaken by all the estate workers,
usually supervised by the gardener. Bills relating to such
work reveal that considerable sums had to be expended
on the whiskey required by the workforce" to stay warm!
This is the home of the gardener.
They had a separate walled gardens. The walled location was
selected to protect it's contents from the harsh, salty winds.
Michael Shanahan, the master builder, was adamant that the
gardens were necessary if Hervey's enterprise was to have
any success. Thus, it was so! And a good thing, too. It grew
fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs for the family. A
greenhouse was also constructed for the growing of more
"unusual fruits and vegetables" such as peaches, grapes
and cucumbers, along with flowers for the house during winter.
They sounded quite lovely -- over time they were sectioned
off into ten separate units, which included multiple
greenhouses, a rose garden and a section that was entirely
ornamental which included a pond and large sundial.
And this is where we learned all about the gardens.
For some wonderful professional pictures of the temple,
click here. My photos just don't do it justice!
