20-something in Knoxville, TN
Gay, Christian, trying to figure this out.
A term paper prompt from Kurt Vonnegut, at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, 1965:
Reproduce on a single sheet of clean, white paper the table of contents of the book, omitting the page numbers, and substituting for each number a grade from A to F. The grades should be childishly selfish and impudent measures of your own joy or lack of it. I don’t care what grades you give. I do insist that you like some stories better than others.
Proceed next to the hallucination that you are a minor but useful editor on a good literary magazine not connected with a university. Take three stories that please you most and three that please you least, six in all, and pretend that they have been offered for publication. Write a report on each to be submitted to a wise, respected, witty and world-weary superior.
Gabriel Blanchard, Raw Tact, Part IX: Gay and Gospel


Peter: A Life Transformed
A discipleship Bible study for groups or individuals. Come alongside Peter as he walks with Jesus. Grow with him, struggle with him, and find your potential in Christ as Peter finds his.
“This is really so much more than just a study of Peter! Jacquie’s thought-provoking questions are effective to get past mindsets and blind spots allowing the readers to discover truths hidden below the surface. Jacquie is able to present even some of the most difficult sayings of Jesus in a way that uncovers sin, but in an encouraging manner, leading the reader into repentance and a deeper walk.”

Becoming Israel: Jacob’s Struggle
He was the son his father prayed for, but he was not his father’s favorite. His mother tried to fulfill the promises of God on his life, and it cost her the relationship. He and his twin brother were night and day different. They were just minutes apart, but he was the youngest, a twin, but not a first-born son. Jacob began his life fulfilling God’s destiny in his own strength, and what he gained cost him his home life. He went on a journey to find a wife to please his parents. Through his struggles and trials, Jacob found the God of his father, Isaac, Who would change not only his character but also his name. This is Becoming Israel. Journey with Jacob through this five-week study. You will be challenged, encouraged, given hope, and bought to the place where you, too, will build an altar to God in your heart and call it “God, the God of (insert your name here)”.
“I enjoyed diving deeper into the life of Jacob. I appreciated the insight I gained as well as the historical information I was not aware of from other studies of the Old Testament I have completed.”
This Servant’s Hands
is based on a fictional young man who shares his moving story with Peter on the day of Pentecost. They had met once before when Peter was with Jesus. Who is he, and who might he become?
“I enjoyed this story of love and devotion set in the early church from the book of Acts. The story places you in this time in history with a viewpoint of a young servant and his excitement of meeting Jesus. You can read this in one sitting and will be delighted with this sweet and tender story. I look forward to more of Jacquie’s books. Be blessed!”


THE GREAT JAZZ HISTORY MYSTERY
Things are looking pretty flat when the world’s dancers lose all their jazz. Now, it’s up to the coolest sleuth around, “The Detective,” to search for clues and find the missing jazz. With help from the mysterious and zany guide “The Vibe,” and a few tricks from the dancers, he searches high and low, now and then, here and there and everywhere, around the world and back again…and discovers that jazz dance is a lot closer than we think!
The Great Jazz History Mystery has been co-created by DJD Artistic Associate and Resident Choreographer Kimberley Cooper and writer Cory Bowles. Inspired by Looney Tunes, Dr. Seuss and, of course the history of jazz, the show takes the audience around the globe and back and forth through time. There is a wedding, a funeral, a robbery, a graduation, many crazy characters and of course a lot of dancing! Keep your eyes and ears out for “The Clues!”
The show follows the vast history of jazz dance, but also deals with some of these broad themes; problem solving, perseverance, creative thinking, and physical expression, that can tie to your curriculum. The Great Jazz History Mystery also introduces children to the magic of live performance by professional artists.


As the central locations of the 1960s civil rights movement, people think of places like Selma, Montgomery and Birmingham. But what about St. Augustine, Florida, one of the bloodiest and most pivotal flash points in the fight against segregation and institutional racism in America?
The 1964 events in this traditionally sleepy tourist town are the subject of filmmaker Clennon King’s documentary “Passage at St. Augustine,” which is showing at 4 p.m. Sunday at the Merrill Memorial Library in Yarmouth.
The free screening will be presented by King, a former TV and print journalist now living in Massachusetts, and Mainer Peter Bancroft. Bancroft, now of Harborside, was one of the protesters jailed alongside Dr. Martin Luther King during that summer’s violent protests, a largely forgotten clash that, as the film compellingly argues, was a pivotal moment in the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964.
“Like Korea, or Vietnam, these people are veterans,” Clennon King said of his film’s subjects. “Veterans of the civil rights movement are no different from any of these military campaigns — they put their bodies on the front lines to defend American ideals.”
Taking his camera to St. Augustine over a period of more than a decade to interview people on both sides of the 50-year-old conflict, King crafts a stirring, thought-provoking portrait of a town whose racial divide finally exploded in one bloody summer — and continues to this day.
King (no relation to Dr. King, although his father was one of MLK’s attorneys) cites a pair of encounters as inspiration for making “Passage at St. Augustine.” The first was with a white author who presented a comprehensive book about St. Augustine on King’s Jacksonville talk show — a book that omitted all mention of the events of 1964.
“When asked about it, she explained that it ‘wasn’t the angle,’ ” King said.
Later, a black high school teacher approached him with a story about her school “watering down” Martin Luther King Day, claiming that Dr. King hadn’t been active in Florida.
“It was a case of two people — one apologetically ignoring, one not knowing — history. I realized it was my job to tell this story. As a journalist, we write the first draft of history,” he said.
In telling the story of St. Augustine, where demonstrations against segregation and police brutality brought quick and violent response from both the townsfolk and heavily Ku Klux Klan-affiliated law enforcement, King sought out as many of the aging participants as he could.
Those included local dentist and activist Dr. Robert B. Hayling, whose position as leader of St. Augustine’s civil rights movement saw him horrifically beaten by Klansmen, and Mimi Jones, who was immortalized in an infamous photo when, to prevent her and fellow activists from integrating his motel’s swimming pool, St. Augustine businessman James Brock poured acid into the water with them.
In King’s wrenching documentary, the events in St. Augustine came at a crucial time. The Civil Rights Act was stalled in Congress, and President Lyndon Johnson seized on the horrific nightly images of police dogs, cattle prods and brutality to force reluctant lawmakers’ hands.
“The bill was passed within 24 hours,” King said, citing the reporting of the pool incident as a tipping point that broke the filibuster that was holding up the passage of the Civil Rights Act.
King draws parallels between the events in St. Augustine and the present-day “Black Lives Matter” movement — and the racially charged political climate in this election season.
“It’s a textbook definition of how ‘Black Lives Matter’ arose,” said King, “reacting to abusive law enforcement and challenging this kind of abuse.”
In Maine, the least diverse state in the country and one beset with its own racial tensions exacerbated by a governor prone to racially divisive rhetoric, “Passage at St. Augustine” offers attendees an opportunity to examine the parallels.
“For St. Augustine, tourism was everything. After the country saw what was happening in 1964, people did not want to come and the town tried to shut it down whatever way they possibly could. You want to mess with a man, mess with his money—you just don’t see news about St. Augustine in popular media,” King said.
King lauds Bancroft and fellow Mainer Reverend William England for their sacrifice in supporting the black St. Augustinians profiled in the film. England, then a 33-year-old chaplain at Boston University, now lives in Oxford. A proclamation will be read Sunday, declaring Sept. 25 “Rev. William L. England Day” in Maine.
“White audiences have asked, in the midst of Black Lives Matter, what role they can play in improving the situation,” he said. “Nobody’s heard of people like Reverend England or Peter Bancroft, but they put their muscle where their mouth was, got on a bus and paid the price.”
It’s King’s hope that “Passage at St. Augustine” can inspire both discussion and action.
“The heroism of these people effectively ended segregation as we know it, but their sacrifices remained in the shadows, collecting dust,” he said. “For me, I wanted to dust them off — they instruct.”
“Passage at St. Augustine” is screening at 4 p.m. Sunday at Merrill Memorial Library, 215 Main St., Yarmouth. The screening is free and open to the public. For more details, visit yarmouthlibrary.org.

I have been fortunate to receive some wonderful reviews of my books but this one is my favorite.


For the first time, Scotland’s 2022 census will ask a question about sexual orientation. A new article in the Journal of Gender Studies examines correspondence between National Records of Scotland, the Scottish Parliament’s Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Affairs Committee and campaign groups to describe decisions made, the uneasy relationship between queer identities and state data collection practices, and the question of who is counted when we count LGBTQ people.
In particular, my engagement in the design process enabled me to critically examine decisions made about the exclusion of non-binary identities and the use of predictive text technology.
In the article, I conclude that the census design process constructed a queer population that ‘made sense’ to the heteronormative majority and ‘designed-out’ queer lives that the state did not wish to bring into being.
Although focused on the design process in Scotland, the article presents insights for the collection of data on gender, sex and sexuality in future censuses.
‘Constructing a queer population? Asking about sexual orientation in Scotland’s 2022 census’ is available to read (open access) in the Journal of Gender Studies.

Quirky detectives - Guinivere Jones and Zac Justis
These days there are a number of authors reissuing their out-of-print backlist books in e-book form. Sometimes it's a score for the reader.
Case in point, Jayne Castle has recently re-released her Guinivere Jones series. This is a series of four romantic-suspense novels that were originally released in 1986. Over the course of the novels, Guinivere Jones meets Zac Justis and forms a relationship with him - while solving crimes.
In the first book - The Desperate Game - Gwen and Zac stumble through solving the mystery of who's stealing equipment from Starr Tech. There's a video game with an elf and a king. There's a frog who may or may not turn into a prince. And there's a secret in someone's past.
In the second book - The Chilling Deception - Gwen drags a protesting Zac into a job where he's supposed to be guarding documents but ends up being more of a bodyguard. The bodyguard duty puts a kink in both of their plans for enjoying a free island vacation at the expense of their boss. There's a mystery man who may have come back from the dead. There's a gun in a bathroom that may not be a gun.
In the third book - The Sinister Touch - Zac is once again reluctantly pulled into Gwen's drama / mystery as she tries to help the painter who waves at her every morning from his apartment across the way. There's a scary occult group. There's a deceiving relative. There's a woman with a very inappropriate request of Zac. And Gwen's sister falls in love.
These first three books end happily-for-now, each furthering the affections the quirky detectives feel for each other and moving their relationship along.
In the fourth and final book - The Fatal Fortune - someone is messing with the secretarial temps Gwen sends out from her agency. This time she's determined to solve things on her own. Which might have worked until someone trys to blackmail her and suddenly Zac is very interested. There's a psychic named Madame Zoltana. There's an evil man from Gwen's past. And Gwen is moving through secretarial candidates left and right trying to find the perfect one for Zac; perfect meaning efficient but grandmotherly and not likely to seduce him.
This one has what I consider to be a happily-ever-after but ymmv because there is no wedding or pregnancy.
The books take place in Seattle and definitely have an 80's feel to them. I very much enjoyed reading them.
Of course, whether she's calling herself Castle, Krentz or Quick, I always enjoy her subtle blend of wit, humor, heat, affection, lovable characters and well-planned plots.
The thing about JAK is, she consistenly writes a steady stream of good books. She's been averaging three or four a year since 1979 when she sold her first novel.
For a reader such as myself who needs books almost as much as she needs food, water or air, that kind of quality productivity is greatly appreciated.
I eagerly await her next book, The Lost Night (A Rainshadow Novel) by Jayne Castle that is due out Sept 4th.
Amazon says this about the book:
How can you not love a book where dust bunny's are companions? I want one. How about you?

Frida overlaid his face on her forehead in Diego on my Mind Figure 2 within which she also wears a dramatic, traditional Mexican headdress. Often times she has been criticized for focusing too much on her work instead of being the docile wife expected of her. The two remarried later that year but it was a financial arrangement and they did not share a marital bed. While her husband is a common theme so are issues of her health. She often depicted her physical pain and struggle with graphic self-portraits. She had extreme pain and struggled with the aftermath of her accident.
She was told she would most likely never carry a pregnancy to full term and this turned out to be true, unfortunately. It depicts the once again nude Kahlo on a bloody hospital bed, crying and holding images of a baby and a pelvis.


Commentary: We’re So Unashamed We Wrote a Book on It. Three of Them, Actually
Christians still need a better understanding of the complexity of shame.
Our age is characterized by what psychotherapist Joseph Burgo called an “anti-shame zeitgeist.” The beloved researcher Brené Brown wrote two No. 1 New York Times bestsellers decrying shame, and her TED Talk, “The Power of Vulnerability,” has been watched more than 26 million times.
This year, the anti-shame revolution is front and center in Christian publishing, with three new Christian books all titled Unashamed. Go to your local Christian bookstore and ask for a copy of Unashamed, and you may hear, “Which one? Lecrae, Heather Davis Nelson, or Christine Caine? Take your pick.”
There is no shame in sharing a title, but this coincidence points to a marketing reality: becoming proudly unashamed is all the rage now.
Lecrae’s Unashamed is a memoir, and as a fan of his music, I couldn’t put it down. (My six-year-old’s most requested musical artists are Elsa and Lecrae.) Lecrae’s story is compelling and deals with different facets of shame. As a young boy, he confronted deep shame over his father’s abandonment; he also faced sexual abuse. Throughout the book, he returns to the theme of not quite fitting in—whether it be because he was an arty kid in a rough neighborhood or because he is now a successful Christian rapper who neither fits neatly into mainstream Christian music nor mainstream rap.
Caine’s Unashamed follows the Australian teacher and speaker’s two previous titles, Undaunted and Unstoppable. Her women’s ministry, Propel, also lists more than a dozen “un” terms to describe the woman they hope to encourage, including unashamed: “She does not minimize or hide who God has made her to be.” Caine’s book …

have been made miserable by what you are keeping hushed."
As I embarked on my study of Lesbian Herstory, I naturally came at it with preconceptions and assumptions. One major "fact" I believed until a few years ago was that after the publication and brouhaha over The Well of Loneliness, no openly lesbian books were published until Claire Morgan's The Price of Salt and the lesbian pulp novels of the 1950s.How wrong I was!
The Big Three
Virginia Woolf published time-traveling, gender-bending Orlando the same year (1928) as Hall's The Well of Loneliness. And Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas was issued in 1933. The third member of what I like to call The Big Three, Djuna Barnes, published Nightwood in 1936. None of these novels were specifically, overtly lesbian, but in the sub-text you could read serious elements of lesbian issues.
Since finding and reading The Big Three, I thought that those three oblique, subtext-rich books comprised the entirety of lesbian-related books in the Thirties. Even Q.E.D., the only work in which Stein wrote explicitly of a lesbian relationship, was not published during her lifetime. (Q.E.D. was written in 1903 and was finally brought out as The Things As They Are in 1950.)
But again, there were some other outliers in the 1930s.
|It's easy to find photos, book cover images, and information about The Big Three. The fame of the works and lives of Woolf, Stein, and Barnes continues on even all these years after their deaths, but two other lesser-known writers took literary chances early in the twentieth century about which most current lesbian readers are not aware.
We Too Are Drifting
In 1935, Gale
Wilhelm published We Too Are Drifting - and with Random
House, no less! A tale of drama and damnation, loathing and loss,
We Too Are Drifting explored woodcut artist Jan Morales'
life as she falls out of love with a first female lover and into a
tortured situation with another woman, whom she loses in the end.
Not a happy ending; apparently a result that lesbian readers had come
|While writing Drifting, Wilhelm (1908-1991) lived with Helen Hope Rudolph in the San Francisco bay area. She and Rudolph were partners for over a decade, then broke up. The last 43 years of her life, Wilhelm lived with a second lover who has remained anonymous. I have turned up no photographs of Wilhelm in my research.
Then Doubleday brought out Helen Anderson's Pity For Women in 1937. The two characters, Ann and Judith, are filled with less loathing than Wilhelm's women in Drifting, but drama and loss still reign supreme. Lesbian literary historian Linnea Stenson says that Pity For Women is the first lesbian novel to show evidence of a resistance by the author - and characters - to the prevailing attitudes of prejudice and misunderstanding.
Gale Wilhelm's Torchlight To Valhalla (1938) marked the first subtle shift away from the tortured souls in the few previous novels containing lesbian themes. It might, in fact, be considered the first overt lesbian coming out novel. Young writer Morgen struggles with her identity as well as with the attention of a young male suitor only to finally accept that she loves Toni, a seventeen-year-old girl four years her junior. (I also found it interesting that for the first time in a lesbian novel, both characters are given androgynous names, Morgen and Toni. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I liked that.)
Though Vin Packer's 1952 novel Spring Fire is generally given credit as the first novel in which the two heroines experience a positive ending, the 1938 Torchlight predates it. Further research revealed that Wilhelm's novel was issued in hardback, and Packer's in paperback, so that may be why distinction is made between the two. Likely in response to the success of Spring Fire, Torchlight was also reissued in 1953 as a paperback but retitled The Strange Path.
lived until 1991, but she never wrote another lesbian novel after
Torchlight To Valhalla. The three "mainstream"
books she subsequently wrote were critical and sales failures. In
1985, Naiad reissued both We Too Are Drifting and Torchlight
To Valhalla. Used copies of the Naiad versions can still be
gotten at various online sites. Helen Anderson never wrote any further
lesbian books either, and copies of her Pity for Women
are almost impossible to come by.

Filtering in libraries
Filtering by property in System database
SCIA Engineer 15.3 extends the capabilities of filtering in program libraries. In every library manager (known also as database manager) the user could filter the displayed items. It was (and still is) possible to display only e.g. the items used in the project, items matching a specified wildcard criteria (S3*), etc.
SCIA Engineer 15.3 adds this filter also to system libraries, i.e. libraries integrated in SCIA Engineer and containing predefined items such as mass produced profiled steel sheeting.
Automatic opening of system library
If a first item is to be defined in any of SCIA Engineer libraries (materials, cross-sections, etc.) for which a system library with predefined items is available, the program automatically opens the system library so that the user can choose from it. In the past a "dummy" item was created in the project library.


(History/bio., S2: 6×50 min.; total 12×50 min.) Every continent has its share of ruins. Places where crumbling stones tell the stories of fallen civilizations, whether they are buried under the earth, hidden in the shade of the jungle, or the chaos of a lost city. They all raise the same questions: how could something so gigantic simply vanish, and why do civilizations collapse?

Broken Highways: (novel): http://goo.gl/WuDtf7
Lose yourself, find yourself, live free . . .
Life adrift after losing his high tech job on the Silicon Prairie, Jason Powell blindly ambles down the back roads of America forging a new identity with the help of a few off-the-wall characters he encounters along the way. Mary, his ambitious and complex wife, introduces adventure into Jason’s barren, meaningless world. Clyde, a seasoned gypsy road warrior, attempts to save Jason’s soul from the class dogma programmed into his brain since birth. After logging hundreds of thousands of miles on the road Jason finally awakens to the sad, horrible truth of his existence; Corporate America is his master, his one and only god, and his life never amounted to being more than a disposable cog in the Corporate Machine. Unplugged from this machine, Jason discovers that freedom is fleeting, self awareness can be a bitch, and overcoming our own weaknesses is the greatest journey a person can make. Though a work of fiction, Broken Highways is based on actual events. I know. I was there.
Companion Storm: http://goo.gl/dIWMZd
Like an artist’s sketchbook, Companion Storm: The Photography & Micro-poetry of Broken Highways, chronicles my first attempts at probing the depths of the creative side of my soul. Photographically speaking, it’s also a journal of our final days on the road. Please forgive the shockingly expensive paperback price of this book. I wanted to self pub color photos and apparently Create Space charges a lot for that privilege. Oh well, makes a nice addition to our family albums.
Back Roads: http://goo.gl/dIWMZd
In this collection I attempt to poetically detail my journey from the high tech semiconductor plants of the Silicon Prairie to the wide open back roads of America searching for my soul. Riding an empty highway into oblivion I bond with the sun, moon, stars, sleet, rain, and snow in hopes of creating a powerful sense of community with Mother Nature and her elements. This journey has delivered a deep spiritual awakening and the strongest sense of community I’ve ever known. Just saying, it’s the truth. My truth.
The Evolution of Disconnect: http://goo.gl/dIWMZd
Whatever Broken Highways, Back Roads, and Companion Storm may be, this collection of poems is the complete opposite. Someone once described poetry as the slow unveiling of truths and there are many, many truths hiding in this closet of mine. Setting those truths free makes The Evolution of Disconnect dark, often haunting, and deeply revealing. You’ve been warned. This is my soul, filleted, my heart laid open for all to see. This is the sound of personal truths being set free.

Ann's autobiography is available in all good book shops and on Kindle.
With characteristic verve and integrity, Ann Widdecombe recalls her life and highlights the people and events that most influenced her along the way.
From her early family life in Singapore and her convent school days to her student ambitions at Birmingham and Oxford, and her long-serving years as an MP, this is the life story of one of our most outspoken and celebrated politicians. Offering unique insight into her time as a Minister in three Departments and the Shadow Cabinet in the 1990s, Ann also explains the roots of her conversion to Catholicism in 1993 and her deeply held views on abortion and gay marriage.
A rare anti-hunting Tory, who campaigned for prison education and once put on a miner's overalls to go down a coal mine, Ann Widdecombe has never been afraid of controversy. Her memoirs reveal a singular personality who lives life to the full. From feisty and witty appearances on Have I Got News For You to her unforgettable and star-turning performances on Strictly Come Dancing, Ann has earned her place in the public's affections and has been heralded as a 'national living treasure' by the Guardian.
Also containing Ann's trenchant views on the Coalition, MPs' expenses and the state of the nation, this is a provocative and entertaining read. Frank, fearless and engaging, Ann's autobiography will delight her admirers and win her yet more fans.Buy at Amazon.co.uk (or at any good book shop)
What is our modern concept of penance? Is it giving up chocolates for Lent or is it a lasting state of the awareness of sin? Is it public or private? Is it punishment or greater closeness to God? Is it always a response to personal sin or can an individual do penance for others' sins, or for the world? Ann looks at voluntary penance and its relation to repentance, at prescribed but not enforced penance as part of the sacrament of Absolution and, as an ex-Prisons Minister, at the role of penance as enforced by the State. Penance in art, penance in literature, penance in history, penance in the Bible are all examined in an important and thoughtful meditation on the concept of penance in the 21st Century.Buy at Amazon.co.uk (or at any good book shop)

The Lion King 3 is a follow-up prequel to the 1998 film The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. This depicts the story of Mohatu, the first king of Pride Rock, and the war that shaped the foundations of the kingdom.
The"Grand War" is the first turning point in Pridelander history. It is fought between the first Pridelanders and the powerful Seljuk kingdom that originally settled in the Pride Lands.
The story is now set 300 years earlier. Pride Rock was still a kingdom back then, but it was ruled by a different family. Rafiki states that the powerful Seljuks from the East invaded and took the Pride Lands by force. They are led by a powerful war hero named Shen. He soon seized control over the savanna and established the first Pridelander monarchy under Seljuk rule. However, Shen refused to become king himself, and decided that the only way to keep or restore order is through the army. Mohatu and his pride was one of the families threatened by the Seljuks, and to prevent any harm to his pride, Mohatu swore to serve Shen and the kingdom. Mohatu was just a cub.
One day, Mohatu was wandering through the savanna when he stumbled in the middle of an antelope stampede. As he ran for safety, he collided with another cub and the two fell into a nearby pond. The cub becomes irritated and takes her anger out on Mohatu for interfering with her "hunt." But she soon recognizes Mohatu as a servant of the Seljuks. She introduces herself as Nira (Nala's ancestor) and the two become close friends. Both of them make their way back to Pride Rock, not knowing that Shen and his son Pharsalus are watching from a nearby hill.
Pharsalus soon becomes suspicious of Mohatu, but Shen assures him that even if Mohatu should be suspected a traitor, "he will break one way or another." Shen was planning to use love, not force, as a means on controlling Mohatu.

The foundater of Ooriapadickal family ‘Ninan Avirah’ was the younger brother of the founder of ‘Maret family’ Ninan Oommummen.
Both of them M/s Oommummen and Avirah were the children of Ninan, the second son of ‘Idichandy’ the great head of the original family. Unfortunately Naian passed away at a very early age. Nainan’s wife Achamma belonged to the famous ‘Adaangapurath’ family of ‘Kallooppara’ which is situated in the Mallappally Taluk of the present Pathanamthitta District. The brothers of Achamma M/s ‘Valia Panicker’ and ‘Kochu Panicker’ were highly respectable and influencial people of the locality and they wielded considerable influence with the ruler of the locality who was known as ‘Edappally Thampuran’. The Edappally principality comprised of Kalloppara, Puramattom, Mallappally and Anicad Panchayats of the present day. This area consisting of about 38 square miles was almost like the personal private property of the Prince of Edappally. The Adangappurath Panickers were very close to the Prince of Edappally and they managed the properties on this behalf.
Naian the second son of ‘Idichandy’ was the ‘Treasure’ of the Mavelikara Taluk. In his marriage with Acahamma of Adangappurath family of Kalloppara, he had two sons and a daughter. On the death of Naian, the widowed Acahamma and her children were brought to Kalloppara by her brothers and they continued to live with their maternal uncles. In course of time, the uncle bought a larger plot of land by the side of ‘Manimala river’ and built a grand house and named it ‘‘Maret Tharavad. Achamma and her children lived in this house. Avirah the younger son had much age difference (12 years) with his brother Oommummen. The elder brother was very kind and showed great consideration for the younger brother, Avirah in turn loved and respected his elder brother Oommummen, almost like his father. The elder brother who was twelve years older, took care to see that Avirah was given good education. Avirah learned Sanskrit, Tamil, Malayalam and others local dialetcts with the help of very learned Tutors who were employed by Oommummen.
As Avirah grew older after his education he got married to ‘Acharu’ from the famous Sankaramanagalathu family of the of the nearly place Eraviperoor. Oommummen bought an extensive house plot called ‘Ooriapadickal’ near ‘Manimala river’ at Kavumgumprayar from ‘Tharayil’ family by the side of Puramattom- Vennikulam road and a house was built there for Avirah and his family. Thus Avirah and family settled at the ‘Ooriapadickal ’house plot. Avirah was also given considerable landed properties by his elder brother. Ommummen who by this time has become the trusted aide of the Edappally Prince wielded considerable influence and power in the locality. He also saw that his younger brother attained the same status and power in the society. With the help and patronage of the powerful maternal uncles of Adangappurath family and with the generous help from Ommummen, Nainan Avirah soon became one of most powerful and respected men of the locality. His family soon became as powerful and wealthy as other reputed Christian families of the locality.
Avirah was very fortunate in having a very able, energitic and talented woman ‘Acharu’ of the Sankaramanagalathu family as his wife. She was able to cultivate the extensive land they obtained in Pyngalody area with the help of agricultural labourers belonging to scheduled castes who were available in plenty in those days. Since Avirah passed away at a middle age the whole burden of running the family and managing the extensive landed properties fell on her shoulder and she did this job with considerable skill. These are many stories which describe how she wonderfully managed to escape from the thieves who wanted to robe her gold ornaments which she wore on her ears and neck.
Avirah, the founder of Ooriapadickal family had three children, two sons by name ‘Naina and Oommummen’ and a daughter by name ‘Mariah’. After the departure of Avirah, Acharu had to take full charge of the family and she did her job, with considerable skill. ‘Naina’ the elder son was a brilliant, hard working boy and soon he acquired all the knowledge and skills required for a successfull living. ‘Oommummen ‘ the younger son liked an easy going life. Acharu wanted the young one also to be equally wealthy and influential. Hence she gave greater attetion to him and took special care to see that he lacked nothing.
Nina married from Banglave family Karthikappally and Oommummen from ‘Polachirackal’ family Mavelikkara. After their marriage, the younger son was shifted to a new house built in the compound which lies on the opposite side of the road. Acharu took the initiative to build the house with the help of her brothers who were living at Sankarmanagalam, Eraviperoor. This is the original “Oorial Tharavad” which can be still seen behind Mathews Koshy’s (Blue Nile Babu) house. It is a well known fact that Achara used all her personal earnings and savings to help her younger son who was her pet.
Both Naina and Ommummen were members of Orthodox Syrian Church at Kalloppara. Later they joined the orthodox church at Vennikulam which was nearer to their home. By the first quarter of the Eighteenth Century (Seventeen Thirties) the ‘Reformation Movement’ led by the well-known priest ‘Abraham Malpan’ began to spread rapidly in Central Travancore areas. The Ooriapadickal family members also took active part in the reformation movement. They took initiative in establishing a church at Kavumgumprayar in the land donated entirely by the Ooriapadickal family. The present St.Thomas Mar Thoma Church, Kavumgumprayar stands on the land donated by the Ooriapadickal family. Later, very powerful and reputed families like Kalamannil. Ulasserilmannil, Tharamel, Madhuram poikayil etc. joined this church. This was a period of reformation in the Christian Church of Kerala. A few minor movements also took place, among which, the one led by a Tamil priest named “Vidwankutty Achan” is worth mentioning. This priest had a revelation from God that the second coming of Christ would happen with in a period of five and a half years. Many were attracted to this group and two of our members namely ‘Kilianparampil’ and ‘Puthenkayyalakkal’ wing also joined this movement. Kilianparampil Philipose was a powerful orator and he was one of the leaders of the movement. But as history proved, the movement itself ended in a disaster, because, the prophecy of Vidwankutty that Christ’s second coming would occur within 5 1/2 years was never fulfilled. Hence both Philipose and their family returned to Mar Thoma Church.
The Vicar of Kavumgumprayar Mar Thoma Church ‘Yacob Kathanar’belonged to Kalamannil family. He refused to bury the dead body of the daughter of ‘Avira Naina’ one of the members of Ooriel branch the in the proper ‘Cemetery’ of church because she died due to the attack of small-pox. In those days ‘Small pox’ was a dreaded disease, and people feared to go to the house of small pox patients. They were considered as out castes and hence this girl of our family who was a victim of small -pox was refused a decent burial. This was taken as great insult by our family members. They felt that they were denied justice inspite of the fact that the entire church and its premises including the burial ground was donated by Ooriapadickal family.
This incident provoked enemity between our family and Kalamannil and Adangappurath family. The fued went on for nearly two decades . But by about the early years of Twentieth Century there was general spiritual reawakening in our church. Some members of Kalamannil family took initiative in bringing about a rapproachment between these families. Ultimately good sense prevailed. Peace was established and to celebrate this event a love-feast was arranged for the members of both these families at ‘Purakkal’ branch of Kalamannil. In the feast members of both families embraced each other and requested for pardon. This was followed by similar‘love -feast’ hosted by the Ooriapadicakl family at their ‘Adichithara branch’. Those nice jestures brought lasting peace between both families, this brought an end to the many litigations that were going on in the various courts. This unity between two strong families brought peace and progress in the Kavumgumprayar Mar Thoma Parish. The name of Kochukunjachan belonging to Ooriel family is often remembered as a man of strong physical abilities and in that capacity he has done many adventurous feats, one of which is the construction of a water canal in one night with the help of labourers to mark the boundary of Kalloppara and Eraviperoor Villages which was under dispute for a long time.
Let us now return to the family history of Ooriapadickal Avirah Naina. He was blessed with eleven children, five among them were sons and six daughters. The eldest among the sons Avirah stayed at ‘Adichithara’ house second one Philipose at ‘Kiliamparampil house’ third one Ninan at ‘Puthen Kayyalakkal ’ house forth one Oommen at ‘Punnackal’ house and youngest among them ‘Cherian’ stayed at ‘Ooriapadickal’ house itself. In those days, it was the custom to give the original house to the youngest in the family. The youngest was considered as the weakest and hence he required much help from the parents and the elder brothers.
The daughters of Avirah Nina were given in marriage to young eligible bachelors from the various families which were known in those days for their wealth and high status in society as shown below. Acharu, the eldest to‘Perumadethu’house Arattupuzha. Kunjanda the second to ‘Pandakasala, Kaipattoor, Achiyamma the third to Tassiyil, Karthikappalli, Maria the forth to Meenathethil Chettikulangara, Aley the fifth to Idupadickal Velinellor (near Kottarakara) and Anna the youngest to ‘Payattuvila’ Kundara.
The second son of Nina Avirah namely Avirah Oommen who stayed at Ooriel had as three sons and three daughters
Among the sons the eldest Avirah stayed at ‘Ooriel’ and the second Cherian ‘Kurikkattupara.’ The third one Nina died comparatively at a young age after leaving behind his daughter Aleyamma.
Among the daughters ‘Acharu’ the eldest was given in marriage to ‘Poothicote’ house Mepral the second one ‘Maria’ to ‘Pullavallil’house Maramon, and Aleyamma the third and youngest to ‘Chakalamannil’ Thumpamon.


With the number of Side Chair Build blog posts increasing I know it’s getting harder for readers to find their way around the series, or even have a good idea of the full scope of information available in the posts. To remedy this I’ve added an archive page that lists the title of each post followed by a brief description, and of course links directly to each post. The list, in chronological order, is also generally the same order I would build the chair. I want the information in this build series to be as accessible as possible, so having all this information organized and on a single page should make it easier for you to find what you’re looking for.

Praise for Family Size:
“Hoagland has a talent for taking us into people’s hearts, allowing us to see both the bad and the good, and showing us the strength that comes only from trial. The characters in Family Size could be your neighbors or anyone from your ward. They think as we think, learn as we learn. They fail and weep, and then they dust themselves off and try again. In the end they come through for each other—and brilliantly. I very much enjoyed this novel.” --Rachel Ann Nunes –Bestselling author of Line of Fire and Before I Say Goodbye
“Family Size is a touching story of three women who know heartache and trial, but also know where to turn for help. I loved this book. I laughed. I cried. I believe every woman will relate to the different tales of heartache and hope and come away with more compassion and understanding for others. I would recommend you not only read Family Size, but share it with all the sisters in your life.” -–Cami Checketts, The Broken Path
“Family Size is a touching story of three women's struggles with motherhood. Their issues with pregnancy, health, and fertility are well balanced and told so any woman can relate to them. Another great book by Maria Hoagland.” -–Heather Justesen, The Switch
"Wards in the church, especially those outside of Utah, tend to become not just a place for people to worship together, but the hub of social life for many LDS people . . . In Family Size, the women of childbearing age in a ward in Lubbock, Texas are not that different from women in many of the wards I've lived in . . . The book, told from the point of view of several women in the ward, shows not just the women's struggles to raise up good families, but also their struggles with identity, competitiveness, and with provincial attitudes. While I enjoyed the women's individual stories, what is more memorable for me is the critique of our culture that is implicit in the pages." --Shelah Books It: Reading, Running, Racing through Life (blog)
"I loved this book! It's about 3 women who know each other from being in the same ward, and they all have really different challenges when it comes to their family size . . . I really enjoyed how you see things from each of their perspectives, I enjoyed how it shows that you really can't judge anyone around you, because you just don't know what their situation is, or why they are the way they are. I like that it shows that we should all be there for each other, no matter the situation. I liked the characters, the plot and the ending of the book. This was a quick and fun read for me." --Cathy Jeppson, A Book a Day (blog)
"I have become a new fan of Maria Hoagland! This was a wonderful book that really helped soften your heart to all who struggle with deciding their personal family size. It was honest as all families struggle in deciding what is best for them. It showed how hurtful women can be when they don't think before they speak but also how they can apologize when they have hurt someone. Loved it!" --Erica Huff, Five Star Amazon Review

The National Cancer Institute has done caregivers at great service by publishing a free online booklet entitled, “When Someone You Love Has Advanced Cancer.” (Thankfully there is also a nice PDF version for those who would like to print it out and read a hard copy or give it to someone as a gift.) In the booklet caregivers are given information and encouragement to help them care not only for their loved one, but also themselves.
Here’s a glimpse at the table of contents:
- Helping Your Loved One Cope With Advanced Cancer
- Working With the Health Care Team
- Getting Support
- Life Planning
- Talking with Family and Friends
- Caring for Yourself
- Caregiver’s Bill of Rights
- Personal Affairs Worksheet
- Signs That Death Is Near and What You Can Do
Caregivers are on the front-lines of cancer care and play an indispensable role in the life of a loved one battling cancer. This is why resources like this are so valuable. Let’s help keep caregivers strong — for the greater care of those in the fight.


I feel quite book-ish today and thought it would be time to share with you some of the books which satisfied my craving for literary fashion and nourished my creative soul. These books were carefully selected according to their subject matter. I specifically look for novels which feature designers, dressmakers, seamstresses or the like as main characters and which would revolve around making clothes in one way or another. So here they are:
The Collection: A Novel by Gioia Diliberto
Even if you could not care less about dressmaking but do enjoy historical novels this read may intereste you. It tells a story of a young seamstress who gets a rare opportunity to come to Paris and work for Gabrielle Coco Chanel. Shy and inexperienced she is drawn into the world of competitive fashion designers, arrogant higher-class clients and dazzling glamour of Paris. However, the dizzying fashion capitol of the world is not as attractive to me in this book as Diliberto's depictions of Isabelle's hard work on couture garments in designer's fashion houses. I love to listen to the sound of fabric rustling in between the pages of my books. The juicy descriptions of garments and minute details of clothes making are my favourite features of this novel. A close look at Chanel's personality is another good reason to pick up this book.
Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky by Chris Greenhalgh
This is another historical novel that feature Coco Chanel as its main heroine. This novel focuses on the tumultuous relationship she has with Igor Stravinsky after his family was exiled from Russia and she hosts them at her summer cottage. I cannot but accentuate the beauty and the poetic quality of Greenhalgh's language which kept me glued to this novel until the end. The novel presents an even more intimate portrait of the revolutionary designer than The Collection. While her biographical episodes are of interested to me, it is the descriptions of the process of creation - both of Chanel's designs and Stravinsky's music - that grabbed me the most. My Russian roots augmented my interest in this novel. I also happen to have visited Stravinsky's grave in Venice, where he is buried next to Sergei Diaghilev (who also figures in the novel).

The Painted Kiss by Elizabeth Hickney
Yet another historical novel. (Mind you, I did not realize until now that I was into historical novels!) This time, however, the main character is an Austrian painter - Gustav Klimt. The narrator of the novel is Emilie Floge - his student and occasional model with whom he develops a friendship of unclear boundaries. I like the portrayal of the-turn-of-the-century Vienna and its culture scene. There is no shortage of art salons and bohemian artists, Klimt including. But I do find Emilie's character quite unsatisfactory! Either she purposely does not reveal enough of her inner workings or she just lacks personality. Yet, I have to forgive her. After all, it is because of her that I started reading this novel. She becomes a fashion designer and opens her fashion house. (You knew that was coming!) The depiction of her creative endeavours are not as rich as in The Collection but they are there and, combined with Gustav's artistry, make up for quite a delicious, albeit a tragic, read.
Thought of the day: Reading is always in fashion!
P.S. If you happen to have read other books similar to these, you will make me happy if you suggest them in the comments below.

“For this is a tale
A song without fail
Where magic and mystery go
Come close and you’ll see
If you harken to me
What starts in the trees
And is bestowed upon thee . . .”
Her name was Sa’Gabliyne and she was a curious Fae – as were all of her kind, but she was the curiousest of all. She was never content to only play in the leaves and flit about in the sun with the other Fae and magical creatures of the forest. Oftentimes Sa’Gabliyne could be found a the very edges of the veil that kept their world hidden from that of Mankind.
She would sit there and watch the humans playing and moving in and out of large square structures. They even brought food and other items into them and would come out empty handed. Perhaps it was a magical device? What else could it be, for those structures also seemed to multiple the humans, and even changed their appearance. If only she could try it for herself she could figure out its magic.
Someone in her colony had to know what they were, but when Sa’Gabliyne asked, she was always told to pay it no mind. The workings of Man were of no concern to that of the Fae. She asked many things, even wondering why they did not venture out into their world, but all was ignored. Through the setbacks she was not giving up. There was something in the land beyond the veil that they both shared and if anyone were to have the answer, they would.
Sa’Gabliyne would speak to the trees.
“Why do you want to go out there?” Sa’Gabliyne had sought out the counsel of the Elder Tree Spirit. It was said that he was there before the old fae put up the veil the separated the two world.
He moved slow and his words sounded like the woods after a sprinkle of morning rain. Sa’Gabliyne followed him as he lead her down a sunlit path. “The world out there does not too often take kindly to creatures such as us,” he began to explain to the fae. “Once, mankind lived in harmony with nature.”
The fae was confused and said, “But Elder, I have seen trees beyond the veil, as well as plants, flowers, surely they must live in harmony with us still?”
The Elder Tree Spirit looked upon the young one with a fondness for her youth, but with a sadness for it as well. She did not understand but how, he thought, could she? All the fae that had been here before the veil were now gone, and a life inside was all that she knew.
“The roots of trees grow deep and travel many places,” said the Elder Tree Spirit. “I have seen mankind in all its forms and throughout many ages. Maybe it is best that you see this for yourself.”
Sa’Gabliyne could hardly believe what she had heard and she clasped her hands in front of her, wings fluttering and lifting her a few feet into the air. “Do you mean…?”
To her inquiry he gave a solemn nod. The Elder Tree Spirit reached into his side and pulled out a green and yellow orb, wrapped in a tangle of branches and leaves. “You shall not go out into the world alone. Take this – with it you will have the protection of the Forest, and you will always be able to find your way back.”
As Sa’Gabliyne took the orb she felt the comfort that came with it, and the warmth of its glow. “Thank you,” she said as she bowed her head, tucking the gift away before she headed out.
“Be wary, little fae,” the Elder Tree Spirit called out to her. “Guise yourself and blend in. For Mankind has long since seen a fae.”
With the caution taken to heart, Sa’Gabliyne headed to the veil to start her journey into the world beyond.

Nineteenth Century Research Seminar Series
Spring 2018 Seminar 1: Travel and Exploration
- Dr Ilda Erkoçi, Edinburgh: The image of Albania in 19th century travel writing
- Gesa Jessen, Oxford: Germans up on the Mountain and down by the Sea - Heinrich Heine’s Travel Pictures and the Emergence of Nature Tourism
- Edwina Watson, Oxford: “Headlong perpendicular”: The Elevation of Poetry in Byron’s Manfred and Alpine Journal
Today was the first session of the Nineteenth Century Research Seminar Series. I was very pleased at how well-attended the session was. Though the topic, 'Travel and Exploration', is quite outside of my area of expertise, any broadening my knowledge of the 19th century serves to provide context for my research on Nietzsche and 19th century European philosophy and philology. However, Edwina's paper inspired an investigation that filled in a gap in my knowledge of Nietzsche's development: that is, Nietzsche's engagement with Byron.
Thoughts on the talks:
- Dr Ilda Erkoçi
- Ilda discussed how Albania was recorded in 19th century British travel writing. I was interested to hear about how Classics had a role in the British interest in the 'near east': archeology was a motivation for travel, for middle-class travellers educated in classical studies.
- Travel writing was largely by educated, upper class writers - resulting in colonial or superior tone in their reportage. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, however, many of the prominent and influential travel writers were actually women. An example is Mary Edith Durham, who wrote about the Balkans; she first introduced anthropological elements in travel writing.
- Gessa Jessen
- Gessa addressed the travel of Germans in Germany in the 19th century. There was a bourgeois infatuation between the German middle classes and the Harz mountains in the 19th century, whilst the seaside emerged as an exclusive travel destination for the upper classes.
- In his 1826 work Reisebilder (Travel Pictures), Heinrich Heine evokes Goethe's Faust in his approach to the peak of the Brocken. There is at once a nationalist and romantic nature to this interplay of German Classicism and nature tourism.
- Edwina Watson
- Edwina talked about Byron's excursions into the Alps, as referenced in Manfred and the Alpine Journal, and how they relate to an 'elevation' of poetry and Byron's vertiginous aspirations in the literary sphere. Byron's Manfred is Goethe's Faust reimagined - and this metaphysical, gothic drama is full of allusions to Byron's own experiences in the Alps.
- I thought that there seemed to be similarities between Edwina's description of Byron's Manfred and Nietzsche's Zarathustra, from the mountainside setting, image of the eagle, and philosophical themes. It turns out this intuition was spot on: "Ich will das Ganze als eine Art Manfred und ganz persönlich schreiben," Nietzsche writes, in reference to the Zarathustra (NF-1881,12). In Ecce Homo, 'Why I am so wise' §4, he reports having read Manfred at 13 years of age.
The next NCRS is on February 22nd, and the topic is 'Issues in Theology'.
