Thomas Jarman, from Clipstone in
Northamptonshire. They continue to be firm favourites.


A little extra- The Classic of Tea / Lu Yu’s 1200+ years old work on tea is a testament to the long and intertwining history of tea in China. Replete with information, Lu Yu describes production methods, good terroirs, as well as ceremonies, brewing rituals, and right down to the best types of water for tea. But in addition to that, the work is suffused with a philosophy of tea that can be found throughout oriental tea culture right down to the present day – making and drinking tea is more than just a simple matter of preparing a beverage; contained in it is contemplation, meditation, and examination of the universal through experience of the particular.
Green tea is the quintessential Chinese tea, and this is reflected in the fact that six of the Ten Great Teas of China are green teas. Loved by connoisseurs for their savoury, umami, and chesnut flavours, green teas are also widely studied for their health benefits.


Marcus Today Christmas Book Recommendations 2019Season’s greetings, we hope you enjoy our MT Christmas reading list which the team have put together for our members. This is a list of books that have been of great influence, helpful in their investing and research process or have been a great source of wisdom. Not sure what to buy your loved one’s for Christmas’? Use our list as a place to start or treat yourself, you deserve it! It goes without saying that Marcus Padley’s Stock Market Secrets is the best stock market book ever written and that it would make a fantastic gift this Christmas, whether the person being gifted the book is interested in the stock market or not. You can request to purchase a signed copy find out more HERE. Outside that, here are some other books worth a look…
Marcus PadleyRich Dad Poor Dad Any business owner will tell you, or as Robert Kiyosaki’s book Rich Dad Poor Dad will confirm, real capital is created by building assets, your own assets. “It’s not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for.” Read my full article HERE. Market Wizards It’s hard to go past this one. It’s a classic… and for good reason. Valuable nuggets of insight from the best traders and investors in the world. Market Wizards hits you right between the eyes in terms of pointing out the difference between your approach to the market and how some of the most successful players of all time do it. You could not possibly help but learn a great deal from this book and it easily makes the required reading list for anyone involved in markets. Business Storytelling For Dummies Excellent resource and essential for anyone running a business! This book communicates via story, rather than simply serving up technical information, on how to impact those around you. The authors' have done considerable research and are highly experienced. With an empathetic twist on business communications, I understand how good storytelling takes thought, planning and talent.
Chris ConwayReminiscences of a Stock Operator This was the first book about markets that truly wowed me. Up until I read this (and there was a lot of them) I thought that any stockmarket book would be dry, boring stuff. Not only is the story interesting and compelling but the knowledge it imparts is of the highest order. First published in 1923 and chronicling the history of a stock trader who makes and loses multiple fortunes, Reminiscences is the most widely read, highly recommended investment book of all time. I cannot recommend it enough and is essential reading for anyone serious about markets. Tools and Tactics of the Master Day Trader A corny title perhaps but this was the first trading book I read that advocates a systematic, process-driven approach to market. The book contains battled-tested techniques for traders of all types and focuses on strategy and strategy refinement. It also delves into psychology and discipline and remains a book that I refer back to even today. Whilst it has a trading bent, much of it crosses over to investing. Trading in a Nutshell This is no doubt biased, as this book was written by an early mentor of mine, Stuart McPhee. A great bloke who has always been generous in sharing his knowledge and insight and who helped me immensely in my early days as a young stock punter. The book is pitched at the beginner to intermediate level, so is perfect for anyone starting out or trying to better understand the market and themselves as a trader or investor.

Dickens Reading Group
Dedicated to reading the works of Charles Dickens in condensed serial installments, as his original readers first read his works. These installments are a good deal shorter than the full length works. The class will be supplemented by a bibliography of films, TV shows and readings about each work, and the UCSC Dickens Project is providing guidance and extra materials. The reading each June would be the selection of the annual Dickens Universe conference at UCSC.

History of St. Martin of Tours Faith Community
The history of St. Martin of Tours begins with the early history of Sacred Hearts Parish and is interwoven with the history of surrounding area, during the time that Wisconsin was still a territory. On December 20, 1839, the town of Franklin was founded, and a few years later, in 1842, Father Martin Kundig settled here. Church services were held near what was to be the village of St. Martins. Hearsay has it that Father Kundig platted the village of St. Martin's and that it was named after him, but no records have been found to prove this.
Large numbers of Catholic German immigrants began to arrive in the country and many settled in the St.Martin's area. They attended Holy Assumption Church, a primarily Irish congregation. Having difficulty understanding English preaching, they sought out to establish their own church. In 1858, Father Franz Weinhart, a German priest, was instructed by Bishop John Martin Henni to establish the new church on land donated by Holy Assumption Church. The land donated was sufficient for the erection of the church, rectory and a plot for the cemetery. Holy Assumption was to have a small area reserved for its cemetery. Today, the two cemeteries adjoin and appear as one, though separate records are kept. On May 18, 1858, the German congregation started construction of the church. The cornerstone was laid on June 5, 1858. It can still be viewed on the Northeast corner of the building. It is said that farmers hauled field
stones in their horse-drawn wagons to the site. Two-foot thick walls were put up using mortar made from sand, water and lime burned in the old limekilns at Trimborn Farms at 92nd Street and Grange Avenue.
On Oct. 15, 1858, Rev. Weinhart was transferred to Sauk City. Father Hubert Jansen was invited by Bishop Henni to act as pastor of Sacred Hearts. He served as pastor from December 1858 to June 1864 and saw the completion of the church. On Oct. 15, 1859, the church was blessed under the title of
Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Father William Bonenkamp succeeded Father Jansen as pastor until his death on July 22, 1879 at the age of 43.
The next pastor of Sacred Hearts was Father Longinus Neu. He served as pastor from 1879 to 1881. During his term as pastor, the church was extended from 80 feet to its present length. In 1881, Father Mathew Heigl succeeded Neu as pastor. Also in 1881, a 140-foot steeple tower was built onto the
church, replacing the original 'onion dome.' It is believed that the stained glass windows in the church were installed during this time period. Upon the transfer of Father Heigl, Father George Trimberger led the parish as pastor for the next 33 years. During those years, a new rectory was built in 1902, new stations were purchased in 1908, hot water systems were installed in the school in 1909 and rectory in 1910, the grotto in the cemetery was built in 1911, and several other improvements were made to the
parish. Interestingly noted, in 1906, the parish census recorded 130 families.
Father Trimberger, who was responsible for organizing the Holy Name Society on Nov. 11, 1915, died in 1919. His successor, Father Bernard Nuttman, was pastor for 18 years. During Nuttman's time, the parish hall was built (1924). In 1937 the interior of the church was replastered and decorated. After a fire destroyed the interior of the sacristy in 1934, it was repaired along with the tower in 1939. The parish also began its transition from the German language to English.
Through the 1930's, 1940's and early 1950's, four pastors came to Sacred Hearts; Father Frederick P. Arnold, September 1937 to June 1940; Father Richard Schaefer, June 1940 to September 1942; Father George Hegeman, September 1942 to July 1945; and Father Henry Maurer, July 1945 to August 1952. It was during Father Maurer's administration that the old school facilities were expanded. A two-room addition was built onto the school in 1947. In August 1952, Father Phillip Rose became pastor. In the same year, a 24-foot addition was made to the hall, which included the kitchen. By 1954, enrollment in the old school rose to 351. On Feb. 14, 1954, Father Rose laid plans for an eight-room, one-story school. Ground was broken in May of 1954 with the dedication on May 22. On May 7, 1956, the parishioners voted to add on eight rooms, creating the current L-shape school. After its completion in 1958, 725 students were registered.
In 1955 the church underwent major renovations. The pulpit and much of the ornate ness was removed. The ceiling paintings of The Madonna and other figures were covered and a side exit was installed.
By 1956, the parish grew to 2,457 families. Father Rose was transferred and Father Louis Koren was appointed the new pastor. With the increase in sister teachers to accommodate the number of enrolled
students, the church drew up plans for a new convent in May 7, 1956. Excavation began in July 1958 on the site of the old school, with the completion of the project in January 1959. During this time, Sacred
Hearts experienced a rapid turnover of pastors; 5 in a 13-year span: Father George Budde (February 1961 to September 1964), Father Roman Kotlowski (September 1964 to February 1966), and Father William
Loesch (February 1966 to March 1970), Father Charles Verhalen (March 1970 to March 1972), and Father David O'Malley (March 1972 to July 1974). In 1969, under Father Loesch, Sacred Hearts Grade School was closed due to skyrocketing costs and lack of teaching nuns. In 1969, the first Parish Council was formed. In 1971, the church underwent its fourth major renovation. Work on the Parish Hall progressed 113-year-old hand-carved altars and communion rail was removed, and new pews were installed. Portions of the school were rented out in the early 1970s with CCD classes being held there at night. The convent's ground floor was renovated to accommodate the parish administration offices. The original convent was re-opened as The Thrift Shop in the mid 1970s. In the fall of 1974, Archbishop William E. Cousins assigned the first SCJ's to Sacred Hearts: Father Lindon, pastor; Father Sylvestor Benedict and Deacon Joe DiVenuto. Different activities were offered at the parish: the annual variety show, bingo, square dancing and the annual parish picnic. Father Benedict formed a sports committee to raise funds to provide facilities and equipment for a parish sports program. On Sunday, July 27, 1975, three new baseball diamonds were blessed. The idea of re-opening the school was discussed at the Parish Council meeting Feb. 1, 1976. Council appointed and announced the re-opening for fall of 1977 for grades kindergarten through sixth. When the doors opened, Sister Rita Jean Schmitz was principal. By the 1979-1980 school year, 8 grades were open, with 195 students being registered by 1982-1983.
In 1977, the church was proud to announce the ordination of Father Roger Savage on Oct. 16. Father Justin Guiltname became pastor in 1979. The church was beginning a 3-year fund raising program, "Foundation Fund," to provide financial stability and funds for renovation and repair of the church property.
In 1981, the parish began RENEW, another 3-year program, under Father Paul McGuire, who became pastor in August 1980. RENEW focused on the goals of personal renewal, conversion and re-dedication of one's faith. From August to November 1982, the church underwent its fifth renovation. The altar and pulpit were brought out into the body of the church, with pews surrounding on the sides. Bishop Leo J. Brust presided at the rededication on Oct. 6, 1982, just months before the parish's 125th year anniversary.
Shortly after, Father Edward Kilianski was ordained on Jan. 29, 1983. Father Howard Melzer was appointed pastor in July 1985 until July 1988. During this period the parish participated in Synod 1987 where grass roots type meetings led to an archdiocesan review of recommendation into the future of the church.
Father Stephen Wiese became pastor in July 1988. The council, under his leadership, introduced long range planning concepts to its agenda. The guidance of the archdiocese was enlisted initially, but a "do it ourselves" program was developed using a parish outline recommended by a Catholic archdiocese planning group. The program was to seek out the long-term interest of the parish and set goals for the next five years. A 3-year moving window would be used to keep goals on track and adjust as needed. The initial parish involvement was a survey of dreams, wishes and realities, which identified the major concerns. The replacement of the parish hall, church facilities and school building improvements were highlighted. A fundraiser to accomplish the first phase was oversubscribed in late 1991 and ground was broken for a new $1.3 million parish center on Nov. 8, 1992. Major changes to the church building were the reduction of the choir loft and complete turnaround of the interior. Collaboration with other parishes also surfaced while Father Steve was pastor. Sacred Hearts joined the South Cross Collaboration Team and began to explore ways of sharing resources. Father Charles Bisgrove, S.C.J., joined the parish in September of 1993 as associate pastor. Father Charlie, as he became known, was appointed pastor
in June 1994 replacing Father Stephen Wiese. The new parish hall and gym was well under way at this time. Father Anthony Russo, S.C.J., joined the parish in September of 1995. Many improvements were made to parish complex during this time including some renovation of the parish rectory and general
landscaping. The parish also experienced significant growth as a result of the building of new homes in the area.
During this time the Parish Council participated in a "Formation" process, and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit completed a restructuring. From this process the council emerged with a more prayerful focus and greater sense of its mission.
The shortage of Priests in the Milwaukee Archdiocese prompted the consolidation of parishes. The Archbishop notified farther Charles that Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary would be combined with Holy Assumption parish by July 1, 1998. Choosing from three parish names submitted by the parishes, the Archbishop notified Father Charles on April 11, 1998, that the new combined parish name would be St. Martin of Tours.
Father Charles completed his term at St. Martin's in June of 2000. Father Tony remained with the parish as Administrator until being appointed as pastor early in 2001.


The Three Sisters
by Bryan Taylor
Publisher: Dragon Tree Books (July 23, 2013)
Category/Genre: Humor, Literary Fiction, Inspirational, Satire, Philosophy
Tour Date: Mid-October/November, 2013
Available in: Print & ebook, 401
Nuns just want to have fun! But when three former Catholic nuns, Coito Gott, Theodora Suora and Regina Grant have too much fun and get in trouble with the law, they become nuns on the run.
Driving back to Washington D.C. where they work at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Parts, the three sisters are arrested in Tennessee. After defeating the local deputy in strip poker, they escape from jail, and are pursued by the zealous Detective Schmuck Hole, who has personally offered a $10,000 reward for their capture on the 700 Club. Little do they know that when the three sisters visit the Washington Monument, their lives will change forever.
Set in 1979, The Three Sisters is a humorous, adult satire that skewers not only organized religion, but the government, the media, intellectuals, corporate greed and every other part of the establishment. Maybe not the greatest story ever told, but possibly the funniest.
“Blessed are they who read The Three Sisters, for they shall inherit eternal laughter.” — Matthew 5:66
Praise for The Three Sisters:
“This may sound odd but I never thought of myself as a big fan of religious satire…until I read this book. I was caught right away by the three sexy nuns on the cover. A friend recommended it to me and I didn’t think I would like it so I ventured to “skim” the first chapter. I must say that first chapter wowed me with excitement and I became so intrigued…I ended up with finishing it in two days.
If you’re looking for a serious study of religion or to explore the depths of the human condition, this book is probably not for you. The whole point of it was to be a roller-coaster of a ride – sexy naughty nuns running amok in 1970′s America and not looking back. Heavy on wordplay, allusions, and references to famous philosopher’s such as Voltaire, Taylor thumbs his nose at the common institutions and over-used plots. So if you’re not afraid to ruffle some religious feathers, this might be the book for you.”- Joshua Silverman, Author of The Emerald Tablet (Legends of Amun Ra, #1)
“This book is a hysterical read–not for the faint hearted or the easily offended. I thoroughly enjoyed Taylor’s sense of humor, writing style, and his use of innuendos, pun, satire, etc. He is a master at intertwining historical events of the Bible, church history, and religious stereotypes along with history in the 1970s. More than half way through, the book has a great surprise that I cannot say more about without giving too much information. I can only say that I laughed for two days. The character development of each of the three sisters (and some of the other characters such as Victor) is superb.”- Maureen Burton, Amazon Reviewer
“Reading The Three Sisters May Add to your Years in Purgatory, but It’s Worth It. After reading The Three Sisters, I realize that Taylor has made the ultimate sacrifice. He is definitely going to Hell for writing this book, or if he is lucky, he’ll probably spend about five trillion years in Purgatory. But hey, his loss was my gain.
I really liked this book. It was witty in an Oscar Wilde or Mark Twain sort of way and made me laugh throughout. Not only is the main character highly sacrilegious, but the plot itself is about as sacrilegious as you’ll get. But the book is as much satire as sacrilege, and the sacrilege just lays the foundation for the rest of Taylor’s skewering of society.
The book is set in 1979, and only after you finish the book will you realize why (no spoiler here. I found myself pulling for all the three sisters to overcome their predicament. Consequently, I couldn’t put the book down.”- S. Zehntner, Amazon Reviewer
“Simply divine! The plot: naughty nuns conquer America! Set in a mythical past, this satire is truly one of a kind. The author has a wicked sense of humor and an imagination that defies description. The more offbeat your own sense of humor is, the more you’ll appreciate this book. I highly recommend this for anyone who’s looking for something unusual.”-Mari Trevelyan, Amazon Reviewer
About Bryan Taylor:
Bryan Taylor is a double PK, a preacher’s kid of a preacher’s kid. With that legacy he faced two destinies, being an unhappy triple PK (Jubilees 17:23, “He that is born unto the son of a preacher and himself preaches shall be miserable until his dying day and suffer eternal damnation.”), or being sacrilegious and happy.
He decided to forsake the Southern Baptists for Catholicism, but when he applied to join a convent, he was rejected (sex discrimination!), so he decided to do the next best thing: write a novel about the three nuns he would most like to meet.
Bryan Taylor was born in Louisiana, grew up in Michigan and Texas, went to school in Tennessee, South Carolina and California, taught in Switzerland for a year, and has traveled to 50 countries, more than any Pope except Saint John Paul II. He now lives in California, which is one of the few places with people crazier than him.

Normally I would shy away from a novel that had anything to to with nuns. Some bad school memories will just never be erased. However, to my delight these are not your average nuns. I know that Sister Rita and Sister Dawn, my high school task masters, would never approve of anyone having any fun; much less that fun leading to lawbreaking; certainly not a nun, but Bryan Taylor would disagree and thank God for it!
Because I survived Catholic education it was intriguing to read Taylor account of three nuns with a sense of humor and a wild streak! The novel, set in 1979, is really outrageously funny and few institutions escape Taylor’s satire; not only organized religion, but the media, the government, intellectuals, corporate greed; basically the establishment, man!
What was so endearing to me it that Taylor chose three nuns as the protagonists who would thumb their nose as the establishment. Truly, for this reader that choice took the novel from being funny to being at times hysterically so. I enjoyed Taylor’s refreshingly wicked sense of humor and the novel’s ability never to bow to “political correctness”.
I truly enjoyed Three Sisters on the Run and thank Bryan Taylor for giving the reader such a funny novel that reminded me not to take things too seriously and enjoy the adventure rather than wait for the destination.

With his skill as an Irish storyteller that was vividly evident in his prior books, Finbarr M Corr Ed. D., a former priest, opens an important new window on what he describes as ‘the Church’s third major crisis since Jesus Christ established it on Simon Peter, the Rock.’ Drawing on decades of vital experience as a crusading priest, innovative family therapist, and provocative educator and author, Dr. Corr asks if the Church can survive its failure to follow through on the dictates of Vatican Council II initiated by Pope John XXIII to ‘open up the windows of the church and let in some fresh air.’
Boldy written, Broken Promises is an eloquent work that offers wise guidance to people of all faiths.
In Broken Promises: Whatever happened to Vatican Council II? Finbarr examines the context and consequences of Vatican Council II fifty years after it was first convened: it’s early promise; the popes and forces who have defined and managed its fate, including the possible reasons for their failure to embrace shared authority and openness; and the consequent disruption in major Catholic populations throughout the world. The author, who served as a priest before, during and after the Council explains why there is still time for rescue and renewal even in the face of the most damaging result of the Church hierarchy’s failed follow-through and cover-up of sexual abuse by pedophile clergy that threatens the Church’s very survival.
“Finbarr Corr has written a book from the passion of his life and the depth of his pastoral experience with people. Many readers committed to Church reform will find themselves and their hopes in these pages.”
– Dr. Anthony T. Padovano, Catholic Theologian


Partner Reading Project- You can use this for primary or intermediate students. The first rubric was created for fifth graders and higher. The second rubric was created for younger students. It is also in powerpoint, so you can modify if you wish.
Partner reading is a great way to motivate students of all reading levels. There are several ways to run partner reading in your classroom:
*Pair a stronger reader with a weaker reader and use the time almost as tutoring sessions.
*Allow students to pick their partners and read the same book, working on discussion questions or projects based on the plot line.
*Pair students randomly and as them to use the time to practice leading a book discussion using lower level picture books.
*Pair students and ask them to discuss the book by writing to each other in a partner journal. They could use the same notebook, or exchange notebooks they have written in.
If you choose to have students read out loud when they are partner reading, there are several options for them to choose from. You may even want to create a poster with these options so students can choose different ones each time.
Whisper Reading - Each student in the group whispers the passages independently as the teacher moves to listen to and monitor each child.
Choral Reading - Read together, side by side, the book placed between the partners.
Echo Reading - One partner reads a line. The other partner repeats the line.
Expressive Reading - One partner reads a chunk. The other reads the chunk with expression.
Part Reading - One partner reads the characters' parts in voices. The other partner reads the narrator's parts.
Taking Turns - One partner reads a sentence, paragraph or page. The other reads the next sentence, paragraph or page.
Rehearsal Reading - The teacher assigns an individual page or part to each child. Each child in the group (of 4-6) takes time to practice that reading independently - suggested 3 times - while teacher works with other children. The student must try using known strategies first and then ask the teacher. The idea is to come back to group and read the part fluently - even names. When each person reads his/her part, the whole story or article is read aloud expressively and each reader feels successful.
Silent Reading - Partners read silently, sitting near one another so that they can ask each other for help when they need it.
To motivate students with partner reading, have a section of your classroom library feature 'double book' sets, or two copies of the same book. Create folders that contain activities and discussion questions for each set of double books so students have a starting point with their partner discussion.

Ella E. McBride was born in Albia, Iowa on November 17, 1862. She was one of three children born to Samuel B. McBride and America McIntire McBride who came to Oregon via the Isthmus of Panama in 1865. Ella completed high school in 1882 and received a teaching certificate where she became an instructor in several Portland, Oregon area schools beginning in 1889 and eventually became Principal of the Ainsworth School by 1894.
Before beginning her photographic career, McBride had developed a passionate interest in mountain climbing. Mt. Hood became the first of over thirty-seven major climbs that she would make on the west coast. In 1896 she joined the Portland mountaineering organization, Mazamas and served as their historian and secretary for the following two years.
By 1897, she met photographer Edward S. Curtis who was leading a Mazamas sponsored climb to Mt. Rainier along with his wife and several distinguished mountaineers and scientists. On that historic climb, Edgar McClure, known for developing the data to record the height of Rainier, lost his footing and died on the descent. McBride was with him when the accident occurred. Curtis was very impressed with her physical and mental agility and he recruited her to assist him on other mountaineering treks. He later recalled in correspondence with Harriet Leitch, ... “yes, she was quite a mountain climber in the days of long ago. She failed to mention that she was a member of the large party of Mazamas who climbed Mt. Rainier and that she was the only woman who reached the summit unaided. As to Miss McBride and the Curtis Studio, she was a star helper for quite some years. During that time she lived with our family as one of us. She was a second mother to Beth and Florence” (his daughters).
McBride’s ascent of Mt. Sahale in the North Cascades, was documented in the August 26, 1899 issue of Harpers Weekly, ”Clinging to the life-line, the Mazamas held their characteristic exercises at the summit. Dr. Young delivered a speech, though in the howling wind his words were hardly audible fifteen feet away. The American and English colors were raised, and then Miss Ella McBride, secretary of the club, breaking a bottle of wine over the rock, said “I christen thee Sahale!”
By 1907, Curtis convinced McBride to leave her teaching position in Portland and she relocated to Seattle to assist in managing his studio. This included operating his booth at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition in 1909. She continued to work for Curtis in the darkroom, showroom and office until 1916 when she ended her association with him and opened her own studio. Edmund Schwinke, one of the photographers closely associated with Curtis joined McBride as partner in her studio from 1917 through 1922 even though he had relocated to Oak Hill, Ohio at the time of their association.
Wayne Albee had also joined the McBride studio by 1918 as partner and chief photographer, assisted by Frank Kunishige and Soichi Sunami. Around this time, the studio had developed a close association with the Cornish School of the Arts in Seattle where they photographed many important dancers and musicians who were performing or teaching in Seattle.
The McBride studio also provided numerous illustrations for Seattle’s Town Crier magazine as well as other local cultural and commercial publications. Although she had a close relationship with Curtis for many years, she credited Wayne Albee for giving her the "photography fever”. By 1920 with the help of her assistant’s, McBride began her own foray into fine art photography. She concentrated primarily on floral subjects, a theme that brought her immediate success and recognition. The first recorded exhibition that she participated in was the 1921 North American Times Exhibition of Pictorial Photographs sponsored by the Seattle Japanese newspaper of the same name. She was the only woman and the single Caucasian represented in the exhibition. This was followed a few months later by her inclusion in the more prominent Frederick & Nelson Salon, where three of her eight floral photographs won honorable mentions in the competition.
The following year, McBride entered a more intimidating competition sponsored by the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain. Her work was accepted into this prestigious salon for their sixty-seventh annual. This signaled an impressive beginning to her career as a Pictorialist since there were thousands of international entries submitted and only one hundred fifty-four selected. Twelve of these were by American photographers including her three floral studies. From this auspicious beginning and at nearly sixty years of age, she entered additional regional, national and international competitions with increasing success.
In 1922, eight of her photographs were selected for the third F&N salon where she submitted mostly landscape and figure studies including a portrait of Frank Kunishige. Her only floral entry was a still-life of two water Lilly’s titled “Life & Death”, a work that would bring her additional success over the next few years. She would exhibit in two additional F&N salons in 1923 and 1925.
Although she was not a founding member, McBride joined the Seattle Camera Club shortly after its formation and became one of their most accomplished members, ranking her among the most exhibited photographers in the world. Like her colleagues, she would sometimes include figure studies along with the florals, often using dancers and artists as models for her compositions.
Her achievements were noted in numerous photographic publications of the day and her work mentioned as among the best in many of the reviews of the international salons that displayed her work. Her Pictorialist works were illustrated in several important publications of the day including the Annual of American Photography; The Camera (Switzerland); American Photography; The Amateur Photographer; Fotokunst (Antwerp); Focus (Holland); and The Photographic Journal which was the official publication of the Royal Photographic Society, Great Britain.
The year 1927 was especially successful for McBride. In May, her work was accepted into the “First International Photographic Salon of Japan”. This was followed by two known solo exhibitions consisting of thirty of her best prints shown at the California Camera Club, San Francisco in August and again at the Portage Camera Club, Akron, Ohio, in November.
Locally, the Town Crier produced several of McBride’s Pictorialist photo- essay’s as did the University of Washington’s Tyee yearbooks in 1926 and 1928.
She was honored with a solo exhibition of her work at the Art Institute of Seattle (predecessor to the Seattle Art Museum), January 7 – January 18, 1931.
When the Depression caused her and most of the other SCC members to cease their involvement in international exhibitions, McBride put most of her efforts into her commercial studio to maintain an income. By 1932, she added a new partner to replace Albee who had moved to California a few years earlier. Richard H. Anderson (1908-1970) was born in Ohio and moved to Seattle in 1925. He attended a school of photography in Philadelphia and apprenticed at the renowned Bachrach studio. A commercial photographer, he was especially accomplished at children’s portraiture which provided a great benefit by bringing a steady stream of proud parents into their business. Over the next thirty years, McBride and Anderson maintained their reputation as one of the leading studios in Seattle. Their first location was in the Loveless Studio building where Myra Albert Wiggins also lived and worked. A few surviving photographs indicate that McBride had printed some of Wiggins’ later photographs during this time.
Besides her studio activities, McBride was involved with the Seattle Metropolitan Soropotomist Club which she co-founded in 1925. She remained an active officer and member of this professional women’s organization for nearly forty years.
As she advanced in age, McBride finally decided to retire at the age of ninety-one but only because of failing eyesight. In the local press surrounding her 100th birthday, McBride commented about being paid $1.00 a year as a consultant to Anderson...”You know what that means, I’m to keep my nose out unless I am consulted.” McBride remained quick witted and alert until her death on September 14th, 1965, two months short of her 103rd birthday.
Following her death, the archive of negatives from her studios, dating from approximately 1917 through the 1950’s, were stored at two local photography establishments who offered to donate the collection to any interested institution. All declined except for a random selection retained by Seattle’s Museum of History & Industry. The remaining thousands of negatives that essentially documented the important social and cultural events during that period of Seattle’s history were deliberately destroyed.
McBride’s works are included in the collections of the Seattle Art Museum; The Museum of History & Industry, Seattle; The Tacoma Art Museum; The Los Angeles County Museum of Art; The Minneapolis Art Institute and the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum, Logan, Utah.

For a lot of people, their phone is a part of their hand. I haven’t got a phone, but I have got books. When I was little, I used to get in trouble for reading too much when my classmates were being cajoled and wheedled into opening a book. I basically had a book glued to my hand and took one with me everywhere. I was bummed when I had to learn to drive because then I’d be driving and I couldn’t read on the way from here to there.
It’s not really a surprise then that it was a set of books that influenced my interest in nutrition. I first found French Women Don’t Get Fat back in my diet phase. Part memoir, part cookbook (that book has a solid, simple croissant recipe), part common sense eating advice, it spoke to me. It was about liking food; making eating an event with a tablecloth, family, and real plates; and eating fine, seasonal ingredients.
Next, I had to read Real Food by Nina Planck, which I have to blame for the turning point to a whole/real foods enthusiast working on making the whole switch. I chose that book based on the cover photo (a bunch of produce, dairy, meat, and oils, all arranged artfully–what can I say but that it caught my eye?) and I have been very pleased with the results–researched and compelling, the central message is that foods humanity has grown up with are not bad for you. That was music to my ears after having read every diet book on the shelves in the local library, each claiming something different and most telling me to quit my dairy habit.
Then I saw In Defense of Food in a bookstore on my way to the library and placed a hold on that little gem. In Defense of Food was and is so well researched, so well laid out, and so informational. Michael Pollan lays out all of these studies like the Minnesota starvation study and all these historical figures like Weston Price and tells us what is wrong with how and what we eat. And the subtitle “Eat food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants.” is so central to the book.
I read Marion Nestle’s What to Eat and The Jungle Effect by Daphne Miller, MD on a whim, and both confirmed the arguments of the other books I had read. On a recent reread, I was disappointed that Miller was on the whole “saturated fats are awful, silent killers!” bandwagon. Still, the first, final, all reads in between, the focus on traditional diets and the detective work on what makes them so healthful is super interesting.
Now that I am nearly grown up, I still have a book glued to my hand–currently the Song of Ice and Fire series (we don’t get HBO, so I have to say up on pop culture somehow). But, once I have completed that, I am planning to write reviews of all these books that have influenced me and my interest in nutrition. Really, I think that these books have some information, insight, and ideas that can change the world (or a least the parts of the world subscribing to the Standard American Diet). So, stay tuned for recaps on books that are too interesting to be left alone and for personal stories and insights from yours truly this summer. (UPDATE: I added some links to books I reviewed!)

The realm of the Fae. It is dominated by two factions that have been engaged in millenia-long “war” of sorts, the Seelie and the Unseelie. The Seelie are also occasionally known by their other sobriquet, “The Summer Folk”, whereas the Unseelie are similarly called “The Winter Folk”.
In his memoirs, Lt. Donaldson of Her Majesty’s 23rd Advance Scouts, describes Faerie as being composed of (at least) four realms; Greater Summer (Summer), Lesser Summer (Spring), Greater Winter (Winter) and Lesser Winter (Autumn). Donaldson further suggests that there may be further realms corresponding to those fae elements relating to shadows, darkness and the phases of the moon.

APPRECIATED AND ABANDONED BOOKS I is the opening exhibition of a series attempting to study, and raise questions about, the meaning of the book as a format. The opening exhibition is focused on reference books. In the spotlight are encyclopaedias, dictionaries, atlases and their fate in Estonia’s brief encyclopaedic history (the first one in this field, “Eesti Üleüldise teaduse raamat ehk encyklopädia konversationi-lexikon” was published in 1900).
Due to ideological and social changes and technological development, the situation has arisen where books that contained a concise overview of the knowledge of mankind or the knowledge in a certain field of expertise have suddenly fallen out of traditional use, have lost their former role, and are now deposited in homes and institutions (e.g. the first Soviet Estonian Encyclopaedia was printed in 220,000 copies). What will become of this deposit layer around us? This conceptual art exhibition invites you to think along about the changing role of books in our lives.
The second part of the exhibition deals with the notion ‘repository’. Repository, Latin repositorium, is simply a data storage or bank. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary gives further definitions, which claim the repository may also mean a place, room, or container; a side altar in a Roman Catholic church; something that contains or stores something nonmaterial; a place or region richly supplied with a natural resource, and a person to whom something is confided or entrusted. Entering the exhibition hall, the visitor feels as if stepping into a library. This matches the concept one hundred percent, because the building of the Kondas Centre was the home of the Viljandi library for a long time (1948-2002). For years, most rooms of the Kondas Centre were filled with books, so it was a real repository. Books collected for the exhibition are like ‘ghost’ books, with no backs to identify them. Sunlight gets into the room through small openings between the books stacked on windowsills, as if through small windows. Assemblages on stands introduce us the changed meanings: the cubes folded of Soviet-era encyclopaedia pages form a Sierpinski carpet-like maze of cubes. Texts on the cubes are readable; copied and enlarged explanatory texts of selected articles hang on walls. On the librarian’s abandoned desk are encyclopaedic characters, peoples, animals, and birds of the world.
