Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Releases Report on Colorado’s Blaine Clauses
A newly released report entitled “The Colorado Constitution’s No Aid To Sectarian Institutions Clause and its Impact on Civil Rights,” examines the origins of the Colorado Constitution’s No Aid Clause (known as Blaine Amendments), and the historical and modern applications.
The report was authored by members of the Colorado Advisory Committee to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. Independence Institute’s Research Director, David Kopel, serves on the committee as the Vice-Chair.
Nineteenth century Blaine clauses banned public dollars from supporting sectarian-religious organizations which society viewed unfavorably, including Catholicism, Judaism, Mormonism, and Islam. Mainstream Protestant denominations were not considered to be sectarian.
The report details how the clause impacts civil rights in education, students with disabilities, higher education scholarships, and lists eight state-funded voucher-like programs that provide funding for programs at religious institutions.Read More...


Erin Hogan-Freemole: Sparking Change
by Lizzy Gazeley | Oct 20, 2021
Not all career paths are linear. For Erin Hogan-Freemole, her path has had twists and turns. Erin, however, describes the beginning of this new chapter as somewhat of a fitting culmination of her life experiences and her passions. To understand how Erin arrived at Crag, I asked her to go back to the beginning.
Erin grew up in the Willamette Valley with her family, and attributes her initial interest in environmental work primarily to her parents. As a public school teacher and librarian, Erin’s parents emphasized the importance of giving back to the community through your work. Additionally, Erin described her parents as “committed environmentalists,” and the family went on frequent outdoor trips. Their dedication to public service and the environment fostered Erin’s own interest in environmentalism, which she decided to pursue through her academic studies.
Igniting a passion
Erin graduated with a B.S. in environmental sciences from the University of Oregon. While in and out of the classroom, Erin focused on fire ecology and forest management. She became involved with local activism surrounding the salvage logging project in the Biscuit fire in Southern Oregon. The work propelled Erin’s interests in environmentalism and critical discussions about ongoing forest management practices.
After her undergraduate studies, Erin worked for the Forest Service as a wildland firefighter for eight years. With her skepticism and criticism of the Forest Service’s practices still in mind, Erin was excited by firefighting and the way it connected her with the outdoors.
Firefighting took Erin all across the Western United States. The migratory nature of the work appealed to both her adventurous love for travel and appreciation of the outdoors. As a firefighter, the majority of her work was centered around fire suppression. Erin continued to question and challenge these ongoing forest management practices but her questions, more often than not, tended to fall on deaf ears. As her frustrations grew, Erin realized she no longer wanted to work for the Forest Service. Moving in a new direction, she decided to pursue “an old dream” of hers: to go to law school.
Out of the woods, back in the classroom
Erin received a J.D. at the University of Colorado in 2020. In pursuit of her degree, Erin aimed to create a new path forward that would allow her to influence and reimagine forest management policy. While in law school, she interned with the New Mexico Environmental Law Center, Earthjustice, and The Wilderness Society. Now that she has her law degree, Erin seeks to widen our understanding of forest management and environmental policy.
“You can’t talk about forest management, land management, resource extraction, or fire management without talking about climate change.”
Erin emphasized the importance of bringing climate change into our wildlands legal work and forest management policy. “I would like to expand what wildlands and public lands litigation looks like by talking about all these issues in the context of climate change.” She is excited to continue these dialogues within her work at Crag.
Back to her roots
Joining the Crag team as a legal fellow has simultaneously evoked feelings of new adventure and familiarity for Erin. In the first weeks on the job, Erin has jumped right into working on cases challenging the forest practices she saw up close and questioned while a firefighter. On the other hand, Erin’s new position at Crag has brought her back to her roots, her home state. For the past year, Erin has been clerking for Chief Justice Joel Bolger on the Alaska State Supreme Court. After many years of travelling throughout the Western U.S., Erin says she is glad to be back home.
Eklutna Lake outside of Anchorage, AK. Before moving back to Oregon, Erin most recently resided in Alaska, clerking for Chief Justice Joel Bolger on the Alaska State Supreme Court.
Lizzy Gazeley is a Crag Communications Intern for Fall 2021. She is a recent graduate of Whitman College with a BA in Environmental Studies – Politics. In addition to her work at Crag, she is a full-time legal assistant and is studying for the LSAT.


Some can remember the war years. The rest of us can only imagine, from stories we’ve heard, what life was like during them.
Some of those stories are found in places we might not think to look, like cookbooks.
Canadian women shared thousands of wartime ration-stretching recipes during the Second World War. Magazines and newspapers, including this one, were filled with them during the 1940s. Over 200 wartime recipe cookbooks were published in that era too. The federal government, rolling out new policies to change Canadians’ diets and divert food for the war effort, published many cookbooks. So did food companies and popular home economists of the era. Community cookbooks outnumbered them all.
Ian Mosby, a Canadian food, health and nutrition historian at McMaster University has written extensively about how the war changed how Canadians shopped, cooked and ate.
In his essay Food On The Home Front During The Second World War, he talks about all the various government interventions in the kitchen from campaigns to promote ‘patriotic’ foods, to the launch of the precursor of the Canada Food Guide to all the different controls on the price, production, and distribution of food.
The two most significant factors that actually changed how we consumed food were price freezes and the ration books, says Mosby. A universal price and rent control began in December 1941 to help Canadians continue to afford necessities, like food, fuel and shelter. Coupon rationing began in July 1941, first for sugar, then tea and coffee, followed by butter and by March 1942 for meat as well. Rationing, he notes, was popular. Polls showed more than 90 per cent of Canadians agreed it had worked to achieve equitable distribution of food.
Another major intervention was the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, designed to regulate the war economy. Among its many controls, the WPTB regulated production of “non-essential foods” like chocolate bars and soft drinks, set limits on what kinds of food could be sold in tin cans, and instituted meatless Tuesdays in restaurants.
He describes the campaigns to promote ‘patriotic’ foods — those we couldn’t sell after markets collapsed in Europe, the launch of Canada’s Official Food Rules to help combat the diet-related poor health, the growing of victory gardens and enthusiastic home preservation efforts, the “fats and bones” collections urging housewives to stream these ingredients into munitions making, the food relief programs women’s organizations like the Women’s Institutes undertook and women’s efforts to stretch their ration ingredients.
His essay begins with a quote from a December 12, 1942 edition of Saturday Night that reads: “Canada has determined to change the eating habits of a nation, because she has learned that efficient production of food is only half the victory. It takes efficient consumption, too, to give full meaning to the slogan, ‘Food will win the war.’”
He concludes suggesting that, although wartime eating is remembered as all about thrift and sacrifice, the reality was many Canadians typically ate more, and better, than they had for more than a decade.
“It is perhaps not surprising then, that many Canadians looked back on their wartime eating experience on the home front with fondness and nostalgia,” he writes. “Although most Canadians put away their recipes for ‘Canada War Cake’ for good after the end of the war, rationing and the wartime mobilization of food provided them with something approaching a truly national eating experience that, for many, would remain one of their most positive memories of a period generally characterized by much more profound sacrifices in the lives of their family, friends, and neighbours.”
Ian Mosby is author of Food will Win the War: The Politics, Culture, and Science of Food on Canada’s Home Front (UBC Press, 2014).
Canada War Cake
This typically eggless, milkless, butterless, sugar-stretching dessert was a popular and widely shared recipe among Canadian women.
- 2 c. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp cloves (ground)
- 2 tbsp. shortening
- 3/4 c. raisins
- 2-1/2 c. hot water
- 3 c. flour
- 1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 c. chopped walnuts
Combine the shortening and hot water and boil for three minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves, and raisins and add to large saucepan. Then stir together flour, baking soda and walnuts and stir into liquid mixture. Mix well by hand, stirring with fork. Pour into loaf pan that has been greased and dusted with flour.
Bake for one hour and 15 minutes at 325 F.
During the 1940s this newspaper published many wartime recipes. Mustard pickles recipes were accompanied by articles that read, “there’s no reason why the meals next winter need to be lacking because there are several pickle (recipes) that require no sugar at all.” We also published many apple recipes, including this loaf recipe. Apples were one of the earliest of foods to be rebranded as a patriotic Canadian food, alongside lobster, after export markets for both collapsed. As early as 1939 the Department of Agriculture was running ads that read, “Serve apples daily and you serve your country too.”
- 2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/3 c. butter
- 1/3 c. sugar
- 1 c. ground or finely grated unpeeled apple
- 1/2 c. wheat germ
- 1/4 c. sour milk
Sift flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Cream butter and sugar well together. Add apple and wheat germ. Add dry ingredients alternately with sour milk. Bake in a greased 4-1/2×10-inch loaf pan at 350 F for about 45 minutes.

The Evan’s Prairie Country Club hosted a pre-launch celebration and book signing on December 9, 2017.
Trace the development of “Air” capabilities of Naval Special Warfare units from the earliest experimentations to the exceptional skill and cutting-edge expertise of today. Air Capabilities of the U.S. Navy SEALs is the first of a three-volume trilogy covering the Sea, Air, and Land capabilities of Navy SEALs and their Underwater Demolition Team precursors. Follow the development of:
- Static Line and Freefall Parachuting
- Early Underwater Demolition Team Parachuting
- High-Altitude, Low-Opening (HALO)
- High-Altitude, High-Opening (HAHO) Techniques
- U.S. Navy Parachute Demonstration Teams
Capabilities with Helicopters, Fixed-Wing, and Tilt-Rotor Aircraft
Combatant Submersible and Maritime Craft Air Delivery Systems
Experimentation with the Fulton Skyhook
Tactical Air-Insertion Techniques and Procedures
Infiltrating with Tactical Nuclear Weapons
Navy Frogmen and the Nation’s Spaceflight Program
Air Capabilities of the U.S. Navy SEALs tells the story of individual initiative, personal daring, clever innovation—and a few calamities along the way. Every page is richly illustrated, many with never‑before published images.
Author Captain Norman Olson retired from the Navy SEAL Teams with over 30 years commissioned service, spanning the Korean Police Action, Vietnam Conflict, and Cold War. Much of the book includes his first-person accounts as Officer in Charge of the first detachment of Frogmen to attend the U.S. Army’s Basic Airborne Training School, and his actions and activities as founder of the first UDT-SEAL Parachute Demonstration Team. His experiences are expanded with the personal recollections of other frogmen who lived this story. Captain Olson made his 4,000th freefall jump on 14 March 2011, his 80th birthday.
Author Greg Burham in The Missoulian September 6, 2016: There’s no simple reason why Greg Burham walked from Alaska to Mexico in 1974.
People called him crazy for even setting out on the hike that began in Hyder, Alaska, on June 19 and ended five months later, on the nose, at the Mexican border town of Sonoyta.
Maybe he was.
“But it was a different kind of crazy,” Burham writes in his book “One Step At A Time: A Navy SEAL Vietnam Combat Veteran’s Journey Home.” Hot off the press, the memoir by the Missoula man was published by Phoca Press, which specializes in works related to Naval special warfare. >>Read the full article in The Missoulian
New York, NY (July 2, 2016) – Phoca Press, the Naval Special Warfare publisher, celebrates the launch of One Step at a Time A Navy SEAL Vietnam Combat Veteran’s Journey Home. Author and Montana native Greg Burham came home to an ungrateful nation. Carrying the invisible wounds of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder before the medical profession understood the condition, Greg struggled to take the next steps in his life after leaving the SEAL Teams. The book launches on the 4th of July.
Seeking answers, a challenge and renewal, he embarked on a journey of discovery and healing almost 4,000 miles from Alaska to Mexico. With every step, he grew stronger in his faith in God, in himself and in others, eventually finding his place in the world helping people deal with trauma, from troubled teens, to combat veterans, to 9/11 first responders.
Phoca Press founder and CEO Tom Hawkins commented on the book’s publication: “Greg Burham went on after his time on the SEAL Teams to become one of the most productive members of our society, despite dealing with the difficulties of PTSD. His work bringing PTSD discussion to the forefront in the Navy SEAL community was ground breaking and essential. His inspiring story is a great narrative, a remarkable journey of life and healing, and every reader will want to grab their hiking boots and hit the road.”
Read about Greg’s epic hike that put him on a path to his life’s work, helping people deal with PTSD–including veterans of the North Vietnamese Army. His work has played a role in removing the stigma that has prevented SEALs from getting help in the past and that is putting an end to the emotional pain our nation’s hero veterans too often suffer.
Bill Dawson was honored to march in the National Memorial Day Parade May 30, 2016. He was joined by other WWII veterans and the Grand Marshals Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna. The weather called for 100% chance of rain due to Tropical Storm Bonnie, yet the rain held off, making for a perfect parade day. Bill gave Gary and Joe a copy of his book and enjoyed meeting them and the other notables at the event. Click here for more information about the parade and here for the press release.
We are pleased to announce that Before They Were SEALs author Bill Dawson has been invited to march as a guest of honor at the National Memorial Day Parade, to start at 2:00 PM on May 31, 2016. The parade down Constitution Avenue in Washington, DC, led by Grand Marshals Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna, pays tribute to those who have served, are serving, and most importantly those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while in service to our country. A timeline of American military history, the parade showcases heroes from the Revolutionary War to the present. More on Bill Dawson below

American Airlines pulled out all the stops to get Bill Dawson to the Navy SEAL Museum Muster. Bill and Phoca Press CEO Tom Hawkins signed copies of their books. Tom also addressed the annual dinner for WWII NSW veterans with a talk about history and the contributions of the earliest Navy commandos.
Phone was off for the flight, so we didn’t catch Bill’s reaction to the surprise applause in the terminal upon his arrival.
A few weeks ago, Bill Dawson was the VIP guest of a very special command that we cannot name. He got a great tour, met with some active duty personnel, and shared his stories with them.
While Bill was one of “MacArthur’s Frogmen,” he never operated with fins. The NCDU wore jungle boots on their dives. Now, 73 years after Bill left active service, this special command gave him a stupendous pair of state-of-the-art fins.


The neuroscientist that brought us bestsellers “This is Your Brain on Music” and “The World in Six Songs” has turned his attention to the problem of organization.

The price of using platforms such as Kickstarter needs to be considered in the purchase price and benefit projections. It’s true, you’ve got to pay the price of training, preparation and practice. Generation costs may also incorporate the expense of creating an audiobook to choose your ebook and print editions. Ironically, a huge means to warrant a larger cost for your book is to provide people a means to notread the entire publication. In addition, selling direct way you will also be accountable for collecting and paying business income taxes, sales taxes and all kinds of other small business expenditures.
Concentrate on anything you can succeed in your financial plan. Unless you’re already an established name, your publisher will not have a huge budget for boosting your bookand you will be expected to do a great deal of the job yourself. Keep reading to learn exactly what your business program should include of! You will certainly demand a suitable small business plan if you want your potential investors to take you seriously! On the contrary, it might be a much better long-term business strategy to begin your own site.
The editing for your book is just one of the biggest items on your budget, and it is one that you should not skimp on. Otherwise the text could be tough to see near the backbone without stripping out the book, which may lead to damage to the binding. Some pages might be dog-eared. It’s possible to find my entire collection of podcasts here. It is possible to find a complete collection of my novel press here. Thus, include the kind of book you have written in your search. A fast search on Upwork or Google can afford a lot of cover designers to choose from, at very fair prices.
You may for example use tools such as Google Trends to be able to pinpoint what popular keywords people are searching for. So when you’re starting out, the ideal thing you could do would be to concentrate on just one productonefocused product for one target market. Be sure you’re building high quality products that meet the requirements of your intended audience, follow a good advertising program and make the appropriate decisions. Fortunately, there are excellent free and low-cost advertising and promotion tools available to help today’s authors. All our templates are offered on our web logs page. Additionally, there are highly popular multi-purpose themes which can be used for almost anything.

Looking to improve the accessibility of my work among people with visual impairments, I'm very pleased to present audio descriptions of twelve pictures made with current and former Ballet Cymru dancers during the summer and autumn of 2020.
Many thanks to Alastair Sill of Word of Mouth, who selected the pictures and wrote and produced the audio, and to Ann Louise Wall, whose additional commentary presents insights into the project from the perspective of a collaborating dancer. The pictures range from the first experimental drawings made through Zoom in the early days of lockdown, to the little panel paintings made through video sharing, which began the series I continue to work on.
This work builds on Alastair's experience of producing an audio tour of my exhibition Painting Dance at Wales Millennium Centre in 2019, though with the significant difference that it needed to be presented as a virtual rather than physical experience. We welcome feedback, particularly suggestions as to how we may improve presentations such as this in the future.
With thanks to Arts Council Wales for their support through the National Lottery Fund.
Please find audio descriptions here.


A WRITER’S JOURNEY: Part 16.1
The Books that Started it ALL
I won’t say it’s true for all writers (exception to every rule and all that jazz) but most writers can pinpoint a single book as the one that inspired them to write. I’ve heard all kinds of inspiration stories from my friends and peers. Children’s book writers wanting to capture the joy of hearing Dr. Suess read to them as a youngling. Horror writers hiding under the covers terrifying themselves with their first scary book. Or the writer so unimpressed with a horribly written book they are inspired to write something better.
We all have a story about the first book that made us want to write. More often than not, those same books have an influence on what we write. And it seems that for authors who write in certain genres, they can often share the same book or writer as their initial influence.
I credit a few books and writers on changing the course of my journey to becoming a full-time writer. But the one that made me say, “I want to be a writer”, is No Change, Please by Gordon Korman. Korman will probably be familiar to Canadians more than Americans or UK readers. Korman began his writing career at a very young age, barely into his teens he began with his Bruno & Boots books. The first in the series was This Can’t Be Happening at Macdonald Hall! begun during a semester in the 7th grade. His English teacher encouraged him to finish the book, which was published by Scholastic along with many of his 55 books that followed.
My grade 5 teacher was reading No Change, Please to the class and explained to us how Korman started his journey to the book we were hearing. That was the moment. Right there. Being told that a kid roughly the same age as me had written a book and had it published, inspired me to try and do the same. Well, I didn’t. I wasn’t published until I was in grade 8 and it was a short story in the photocopied school newspaper. I followed that up with a few poems in different issues of that paper and a couple more short stories and poems in highschool Writers’ Guild anthologies.
But I’d been bitten by the bug.
For this part of A Writer’s Journey, I decided to ask some of my peers to share their stories about the book that inspired them to write. They were all asked the same question and I was amazed by their responses. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Maybe you’ll find a book in their answers that will inspire you to write your own book. Or possibly you’ll take the time and read something by the authors themselves and find that spark you’re looking for.
Zoe E. Whitten
The first book to make me want to be a writer was Stephen King’s It. His characters were so real, and I wanted to create people just as flawed and believable.
I think I’ve wanted to write since I was 10 or so. Around that time I wrote a story called “The Lost Souls” (recently updated as the novella “Lost Souls” for THE UNDEAD: HEADSHOT QUARTET). At that time I was reading Louis Sachar and Roald Dahl, but I don’t believe they were as much of a direct inspiration as what I wasn’t allowed to read – the King books in my parents’ bookshelf, books my older sister had told me about and at which I sneaked peeks whenever I was home alone. It was more than likely IT that did it for me, as that’s the only one I can recall with clarity. I didn’t read the entire novel until I was in my twenties, and it is one of my favorite books today, if not my #1. As a kid, I think the mystique and taboo of the book was as affecting as what I actually glimpsed in its pages (and what I did glimpse was wonderful and scary and definitely left an impression). Between its title – emblazoned in giant blood-red letters on the hardcover – and the fact I wasn’t supposed to be anywhere near it, the book took on a mythic quality which only drew me more to it and to that genre. I really do have my parents to thank for getting me into writing horror. I don’t think they’d take that too hard.
Mark Leslie (Lefebvre)
Wow. That’s a tough one. When I first heard the question I thought, oh, cool question – now what book was it for me? And then I realized that I couldn’t be 100% sure. Why? Because I’m pretty sure I wanted to become a writer long before I actually started typing out stories on my typewriter which was in my early teens. Of course, it was many years after when I started sending my stories out to publishers (which is often what I think about when I think about becoming a writer). But to be true to wanting to become a writer, it goes back even earlier than my teen years, it goes back to even before I wrote long prose tales. When I was a boy, I loved to draw cartoons; to tell stories via a combination of words and images. Before that, I remember creating epic adventures with either my Lego figures or my Fisher Price figures, compiling long complex plot adventures that would last weeks in short episodic segments.
And throughout all that time, there were a lot of books I read, many of which likely provided me inspiration to want to tell my own tales, produce my own stories.
So, nailing down a specific single book that inspired me to become a writer is a challenge indeed. I mean, if I go back far enough, it was likely a comic book (likely a poignany story told by Stan Lee about a young outcast teenager with the proportional strength, speed and agility of a spider) that inspired me to want to write my own tales. Later on in my childhood, it might have been one of Lester del Rey’s novels such as Marooned on Mars or Tunnel Through Time. In my early teens, there were books such as George R. Stewart’s Earth Abides that I remember enjoying so much and wanting to write my own post-apocalyptic tale.
And when I first pulled out my Mom’s Underwood typewriter and started seriously hammering out tales, Piers Anthony was a writer whose science fiction and fantasy novels I was avidly consuming. The use of my pseudonym of “Mark Leslie” was derived from reading about how this particular author’s full name was Piers Anthony Dillingham Jacob and he simply sliced off the extra names to get a “writer’s handle” that was easier to say and spell.
But in a nutshell, it might seem like a cop-out to the question, but it seems as if books have always inspired me to be a writer – and the books I read today continue to inspire me to write. When I was young and I read a tale that I marvelled at, that tickled my imagination, I would set forth and want to write my own story that would do the same thing for other readers. And when I write today, it’s not without that part of my mind that conjures up the feeling I get when I read a great story or book.
When I was twelve, an aunt gave me a copy of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. Being at a very impressionable age, I devoured the entire novel in one sitting! King’s haunting portrait of an All-American family facing evil sparked my imagination—that’s when I knew I wanted to become a writer!
I’d like to thank all of the writers for taking the time to answer.
I’ll be coming back to this question again. Hopefully you’ll join me for the second half of this part of A Writer’s Journey.
Until next time, keep writing!


Steven Lawrance's Operating System (SLOS), also known briefly as Steven Lawrance's Operating Program (SL-OP), was a small interpreted toy operating environment written in QBASIC for DOS. The primary motivation for writing this was to have an environment that supported long file names. This was written in 1993 -- two years before Microsoft released native long file name support in a consumer operating system with Windows 95.
A small subset of the SLOS commands were implemented in this Windows version. Unfortunately, this Windows version cannot run most of the SLOS programs that were written.
- Download SLOS-DOS and SLOS-Win
- Download SLOS-Win's Source Code
- Download CatSetup's required DLL files, if needed. Older versions of CatSetup required bwcc.dll, and the latest version requires ctl3dv2.dll. These go into the windows\system folder, not windows\system32. Windows computers typically already have ctl3dv2.dll installed, which is a Microsoft library, and Wine has a built-in implementation

Indiana freshman Jim Banks plays English teacher monthly for his staffers.
The Banks office reads the same book each month and gathers to discuss. On May 25, the Republican office chatted about by “Hillbilly Elegy” by J.D. Vance, before the congressman headed to the airport for recess.
During the 2016 election, Vance’s book was acclaimed as the book that explained the Donald Trump phenomenon and his supporters. It was published in June 2016.
“Now, along comes Mr. Vance, offering a compassionate, discerning sociological analysis of the white underclass that has helped drive the politics of rebellion, particularly the ascent of Donald J. Trump,” the New York Times wrote in August.
But, Banks said it didn’t make sense to him why it was the political book of 2016. For him, it was personal.
Growing up, his grandparents lived in the same Eastern Appalachian Kentucky county as Vance’s grandparents. The book club turned into an opportunity for Banks to teach his staff about his background and the social dynamic of his family.

Sodhi Family, Punjab
The original Guru Granth Sahib prepared by Guru Arjan (1563-1606) and his scribe Bhai Gurdas. The Kartarpur Bir was eventually kept by the Sixth Guru Hargobind (1595-1644) in his house. From here it was stolen by his grandson Dhir Mal who intended to use it to further his claims on the succession of the Guruship. Some thirty years later the followers of the Ninth Master, Guru Tegh Bahadur forcibly recovered it, but were instructed by the Guru to return it. Its ownership eventually passed to Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780-1839) who housed it in his personal Gurdwara in the Lahore fort. With the collapse of the Sikh empire and its annexation the volume came into the custody of the British who in 1850 gave in to a descendent of Dhir Mal, Sodhi Sadhu Singh of Kartarpur upon his petition. It has remained with the descendent's of that family ever since.
Scholarly access has been severely restricted and no photographic record of this important Granth has ever been permitted. This is one of the only known photograph of this priceless piece of Sikh heritage. Photographed by Dr. Pashaura Singh.

Being the bookworm that I am I buy a lot of books.
I prefer to go to a physical bookstore to browse books. Sadly, as many of you may know we don’t really have a lot of options when it comes to new bookstores. Borders went out of business years ago as did Walden Books – I remember spending lots of time in my local mall’s Walden Books as a kid.
Nowadays I tend to shop used book stores and on-line.
One of my favorite places to buy books from is my local Friends of the Library book stores. These are little book shops that are usually inside the library and the money raised through purchases go back to the library. These are great little stores in two ways.
First – I am helping support my local libraries.
Second – the prices are amazing! I bought a collector boxed hard back edition of the Hunger Games series for five dollars and it is in amazing shape.
Yesterday I picked up a box set of the first 4 books in Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments series for four dollars.
Another great place for used books is called Bookman. I discovered them almost ten years ago when my husband introduced me to it. Since then I have been very supportive – meaning I spend LOTS of money there. They are currently in the process of moving their store to a new location so I haven’t been there in a few months. I can not wait for them to re-open, hopefully in mid-September.
They have a massive selection of books. I have picked up lots of young adult fiction (paper backs and hard backs) in amazing shape, books on world religions, history, and fiction. You can also bring books that you are ready to part with and they will give you store credit. This is usually what I do with books that are ready to leave my collection and find a new home. Sometimes I will take them to Little Free Libraries, but for those I usually take my kids or middle grade books.
Book Off is actually a used Japanese books store that also carries English books. They also carry DVD’s, CD’s, and video games and consoles. I usually buy my manga here and I have also bought a few bento box cookbooks.
On-line offerings have grown a lot over the years. You aren’t just limited to Ebay or Amazon.
I have ben introduced Thriftbooks.com. They have both new and used books, a rewards program and free shipping. The prices are VERY reasonable. I am currently waiting on an order from them as we speak. I am building out my library of writing reference books.
Another on-line book seller that I have yet to check out is Half Priced Books.
Then there are locations that are currently on my wish list of bookstores to visit –
Do you have a favorite go to bookshop?

By Charlie Kondek
I'm hooked on the writing of William Peter Blatty.
Blatty is probably best remembered as the author of The Exorcist, the novel and screenplay. I'd seen the movie a few times and for some reason I can't quite remember looked it up online a few weeks ago and began reading more about Blatty. I became curious about him, and drawn to the spiritual, theological and philosophical agenda behind his work. So I finally read The Exorcist. It was terrific; good prose, sharp, compelling pace, strong characterization and dialogue.
I have to confess, though, that picking up The Exorcist was, for me, like picking up a loaded firearm. I had a number of associations with it due to my memories of the movie and my own feelings about faith and spiritual warfare. People of the Christian faith are warned, rightly, to be cautious about material that examines too closely what we call "the adversary." The work has, I think, a polarizing effect on such readers, and it is so prevalent in popular culture and discourse that you can get a feel for it before you even read it or see the film. I feel readers like me either encounter The Exorcist and get the slimy feeling one gets from dwelling too much on the Satanic or you feel empowered by it, encouraged by the fact that it is basically the story of God versus the devil with the good guys naturally and righteously winning. Within a few pages I was solidly in the latter camp, all my discomfort brushed aside. Well, not all of it; the book still made the hair on my arms stand up.
The Exorcist is a psychological thriller - well, a supernatural psychological thriller, a so-called "theological thriller." It's about a girl, Regan, who becomes possessed by a demon. After the girl's mother exhausts every medical and psychological possibility in attempting to cure Regan, she seeks out the help of Jesuit priests. Assigned to her case is Father Karras, a priest and a psychiatrist who has lost his faith in God due to heartbreak and fatigue. The story is, basically, Karras' attempts to find a psychological explanation for Regan's behavior – which includes speaking in multiple voices and languages, violence, changes in appearance, levitation and telekinesis – even as the supernatural explanation keeps hitting him in the face. Finally, Karras calls in the exorcist of the title, a priest named Father Merrin, and here we have a wonderful comparison between Karras, the troubled priest, and Merrin, a pillar of godly strength. The showdown commences, with Karras playing a pivotal role.
There's also a murder investigation afoot, and a budding friendship between Karras and a clever, Columbo-like cop, Kindermann (which prompts the remark about priests and policemen being identified by their uniforms, inside and out). Also examined are basic philosophical questions, namely the problem of evil and the existence of God. Blatty asks the reader to consider that some of the evil in the world is so monstrous it could conceivably come from a supernatural source, and that if you accept that you can accept the opposite, that some of the good in the world is so transcendent it must also come from a supernatural source.
I don't think I can do the strength of the work justice in this blog post, so I encourage you to read it. Be warned, Blatty was inspired in capturing the character of the demon and the work is riddled with unspeakable obscenities. But I'm gonna track down everything Blatty ever wrote. Next up for me is The Ninth Configuration, which I picked up at a dusty resale shop (my favorite kind). There's a great site on the web for all things Blatty here and all things Exorcist here. There's a much bigger story behind Ninth Configuration, a novel and a cult movie, which forms part two of an unofficial trilogy comprising The Exorcist, The Ninth Configuration and Legion (later made into the film Exorcist III).

Regional cookingA book about regional cuisine usually has recipes in the context of the culture, history and traditions of that region. According to its introduction, “Cuisines of the Caucasus Mountains“ wants to show us how:
“We find distinct culinary influences [in Caucasus cuisines] from the Greeks, Romans, Persians, Arabs, Turks, and Central Asians as they passed through or occupied the area, and there are also some Slavic or Russian contributions. Today, the region's cuisine is perhaps best described as a joyful mélange of Persian, Turkish, Greek, and Mediterranean dishes, with many innovations and improvements”.This is undoubtedly true, but it is only one side of the story. Caucasian peoples have their own, distinct cultures, that go further back in time than the ancient Greeks. Let alone the Russians. The ancient Greeks were immigrants in the region. They told legends of what happened in the Caucasus mountains long before their time. Couldn’t other world cuisines have Caucasian influences? Instead of “innovations and improvements”, there are more likely elements of Caucasian cuisines that have always been there, but are unknown to us because they were not copied by other peoples.
Three texts in oneIt seems to us that three different texts have been put together in this book. It is as if the author wrote the three separately and then sort of merged them, without really integrating the parts. The first text is a (very) short story about her own visit to Georgia. The second is like a collection of college notes (selected quotes and pieces of information) copied from other books about the Caucasus region. Thirdly, there are the recipes.
Many typical, famous regional dishes and ingredients are described in the general information in the book and the introductions to recipes. But don’t expect to find the actual recipes for them. For example, there is almost a full page about khinkali (meat dumplings, a very popular snack), but no recipe. Fenugreek and marigold, typical ingredients in Georgian cuisine, are mentioned, but not found in any recipe either.
What you see is what the author could getIn the preface, the author states that she is a devotee of Georgian cuisine. This would lead us to expect finding many delicious Georgian recipes in the book. But to our surprise, we could not even find recipes for classics like khinkali, satsivi, or churchkhela. For khachapuri, the famous Georgian cheese bread, the book has only one recipe. And that recipe is a copy from another book, “with adaptations”.
We get the impression that the author’s own experience in the Caucasus region is limited to one organized tour in soviet times, with a short stopover in Georgia. She then wrote the preface, which is entirely about Georgia, and decided to write a cookbook as quickly as possible. She relied a lot on informants living in the US, Turkey and Russia, one ethnically Georgian, many Armenian and Russian.
The dishes she presents are not by definition the most characteristic ones of an area or country. It seems like the author just wrote down what she could get from informants, resulting in an accidental collection of recipes.
Embarrassing mistakesThere are some embarrassing mistakes in the book, that could easily have been corrected. According to “Cuisines of the Caucasus Mountains”, the Georgian capital is Tiblisi, it’s second city is Kutasi or Kutashi, people eat sulugundi as well as Emeretian cheese, enjoy sat-sivi and wine is stored in khevris. We are tempted to mention the page numbers and corrections here, but we’ll leave that for the author and editors to find out.
Georgian, Armenian, Russian cuisine, what are we talking about?Besides the missing Georgian recipes and ingredients in the book, there use of the term “Russian” is also confusing . There are quite a few recipes in the book that are general Russian recipes. These recipes are not unique to the Caucasus region, people all over the former Soviet Union prepare them.
There is nothing wrong with this. It just means that “Cuisines of the Caucasus Mountains” gives us an impression of what people living in the Caucasus region eat and drink – including many ethnic Russians who have settled there in the recent past. The book is not (exclusively) about traditional or original dishes from the region.
The influence of Armenian informants is noticeable as well. Among all the Caucasus peoples, Armenians are the most famous for their nationalist claims. They were ‘the first’ at almost everything in history and label anything they can as Armenian. This is obvious in the book from the large number of ‘Armenian’ recipes, that are in fact more general Caucasian foods, or successful foods of other ethnic groups.
But the recipes? Quality as a cookbookDoes all this really matter, you ask? Can’t we just appreciate “Cuisines of the Caucasus Mountains “ as a cookbook? Yes, you can. The recipes are detailed enough, the instructions are easy to follow. The dishes have all been given understandable descriptions instead of regional names. A dolma recipe is described as ‘stuffed vegetables’ for example. This helps you choose recipes you like.
The recipe index makes no sense in the digital edition. It has no hyperlinks and the page numbers are for the printed version. However, you can just search for ingredients, even if you don’t know the local names for dishes. If you have some eggplants and want to see what you can make with them, it’s easy to find recipes by searching for “eggplant”.
Spices left outIn her introduction, the author states that
“Some of the traditional ingredients in the Caucasus dishes are unfamiliar and difficult to obtain in American stores. Substitutions are possible and often an item may simply be left out, to no great detriment to the dish. A few suggestions for replacements are given with the recipes.”In reality, we get the impression that she has simply left out many characteristic herbs and spices without even mentioning that those are traditionally added to a recipe. Tarragon, fenugreek and summer savory for example do not occur in any of the recipes. It shouldn’t be impossible to buy these in America. It would have been nice if the use of original herbs and spices had been mentioned with each recipe. Readers could then choose to try and find them, or make a simplified version of the dish.
The author also writes:
“While there are subtle culinary differences among the area’s three countries, one finds a lot of similarity.”With this motto in mind, she seems to have loosely filled in the recipes with what she knew and silently left out what she wasn’t sure of.
Enjoy comfort foodBut again, does that really matter to every reader? The book covers all categories of food and drink that you need to create a Caucasus-style table. It has a selection of recipes for appetizers, soups, dairy dishes, fish, meat, poultry, game, vegetables and salads, grains and legumes, breads, pastas, savory pastries, desserts and sweets, as well as beverages, drinks and wines. Many of the dishes are warm and hearty, while there are sweets snacks as well. You could see and appreciate the book as a cookbook for comfort foods, that are easy to make and have natural ingredients.
To buy or not to buy “Cuisines of the Caucasus Mountains”Do we recommend this book or not? It depends on what you want to get out of it. “Cuisnines of the Caucasus Mountains” is a typical case of “nobody knows, so everything goes”. Few people are familiar with the Caucasus region, so lower quality books get published more easily. Imagine an Italian cookbook claiming that the Italian national dish is paella and that Italians bake “picha”, a bread originally invented by the Americans. Such a book would never see the light of day. If you care about such things, then don’t buy this book.
However, if you don't care and are just looking for some nice and easy-to-make recipes, flavored with lots of general information and quotes from other books, then you should buy this book. You’ll discover lots of tasty dishes and have fun with it.
For Georgian cuisine, we definitely do not recommend this book. Instead, the most complete and accurate Georgian cookbook in English is “The Georgian Feast” by Darra Goldstein. Oddly, “Cuisines of the Caucasus Mountains” quotes from Goldstein’s book here and there, while completely missing the point about Georgian cooking and dining traditions.

This historical fiction novel tells the story of two sisters in France during World War II and their struggle to survive and resist the German occupation of France. It's an extremely powerful story of two women who, while different, have the same courage to risk their lives to save others.
I love Kristin Hannah as an author because she has a way of connecting you to a time period and makes you feel all the emotions of that time. This book is also set to be an upcoming 2022 film starring Dakota and Elle Fanning - definitely looking forward to it!

Our Local Library
It had been a while since I've been to the library in person, and now it is a weekly occurrence! A couple of weeks back, school was closed for my children, so I was working remotely while having them home, which was quite a challenge. In an attempt to make things more fun for them, and to help me be able to focus and get some work done, we all ventured to the library one afternoon!
It ended up being a huge hit and now after school every day the kids want to go there! If you haven't been in recently, you should go check out your local library. Ours has been doing some really cool things, like putting together what they call "Lit Kits" based on the interests of your kids! We are hooked!

espite my insistence that I would cut back on buying books, I couldn’t not by the new Eugene England biography, Stretching the Heavens by Terryl Givens. I have to be upfront– I haven’t actually read anything by Eugene England. I will fix that soon, especially since @JamesGoldberg pointed out you can read most of his stuff on his website. @calvinjburke got me REALLY hyped up for the book, so I’m indebted to him. Cal just happens to be working with Terryl Givens, so he’s had an insider peek throughout the whole writing process. He has been dropping hints for months. While I haven’t read anything by England, I have tried to read everything Terryl and Fiona Givens have ever written, so this one was not to be missed.
I was mostly excited about the England biography because of what he represented: a faithful liberal Latter-Day Saint. While officially over the pulpit, the Church declares itself politically neutral (Principles compatible with the gospel may be found in various political parties), there is a clear tendency toward the right. In fact, I grew up thinking that was the only way to be a faithful Mormon. Rediscovering the radical-ness inherent in Mormonism’s roots, our emphasis on community, the Book of Mormon’s ideal of “no poor among them” and the United Order, Joseph Smith’s presidential platform to reform penitentiaries and abolish slavery, a theology with a Heavenly Mother and Mother Eve cast as a hero– all provide a strong argument for a compassionate and forward-thinking Mormonism. What happened? Finding representatives of Mormon thought that still represent these aspects of the restoration is always refreshing, and it awes me at how awesome the restoration of the gospel really was.
I would say the first book I really became aware of a liberal current in Mormonism just underneath the surface was David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism by Greg Prince. In that, I discovered the that the Church was much more politically diverse in the early twentieth century, and the presidency of David O. McKay was a kind of high watermark before the more conservative elements gained the upper hand. I also read a biography of Henry Eyring in Mormon Scientist. Eyring was a scientist, and perhaps couldn’t be classified as a liberal. But he did spar with Joseph Fielding Smith over evolution, and had a complementary view of the roles of science and religion. I read many of the works of Lowell Bennion, including his The Place of a Liberal in Religion. I really liked his explication of the roles of the prophetic (corresponding to the liberal instinct to seek justice and call out abuse of the wealthy and powerful) and the priestly (corresponding to the conservative instinct to preserve, record, and transmit). Eugene England was another figure that carries on this tradition, but perhaps in a different way than Lowell Bennion or Henry Eyring. Certainly louder. But still within the tradition, not playing the role of a heretic like Sterling McMurrin.
Givens’ biography of England highlighted much of these “liberal” themes, which have also been highlighted in Givens’ own work. Benjamin Park’s review over at By Common Consent labels Givens as “perhaps the most successful inheritor of England’s legacy.” I was moved by Givens’ book The God Who Weeps where he beautifully expounds the doctrine of a God who is moved by human suffering and all its implications. But this idea isn’t original to Givens. Of course, the idea originally from scripture, but it was Eugene England’s essay The Weeping God of Mormonism that pulled out this theme from the Pearl of Great Price.
But while the biography did very well in terms of ideas and context, I found it wanting in aspects dealing with Eugene England the man. Biographical details were much more plentiful when dealing with the early chapters of his life, especially of his mission to Samoa. I found a pleasant surprise in this chapter of England’s life: the scout leader of my youth was a Samoan by the name of Jacob Fitisemanu. A policeman by the name of Fitisemanu pulled a prank on the young Elder England when he was fresh off the boat in Samoa! I am assuming that this Fitisemanu was a father or grandfather of my scout leader, but I can’t be sure. It was fun to find a personal connection in there.
The book gets much more scanty on events in England’s life, instead relying much more on the scholarly writings of England. Givens laments at one point, England would only keep [a journal] sporadically over the next quarter century; a dismal record for one so passionate about the value of journal-keeping in the pioneer past. Givens also pulls some details from interviews with family members, as well as the many letters Eugene exchanged with general authorities. A surprising amount– how common was it to exchange letters with apostles back in the day? Today? I would often find myself wondering, hey, where did this person come from? It says they know Eugene really well, but we haven’t been introduced to them before.
I also didn’t like some of Givens’ character judgments of England. Givens uses naive or naivete thirteen times and the deafness or tone deafness five times when describing his interactions with general authorities. In Givens’ view, Eugene’s idealistic view of Mormonism should be tempered with the living reality of a religion that has become anchored in tradition and respect for authority. Sure, stick to your principles. But you have to be realistic about what you can accomplish, don’t step on peoples’ toes, and pick your battles. If that is naivete, I wish we had more of it. I wish it was allowed, I wish it thrived, in our wards and stakes.
The thing I find tragic about England’s life was how much the approval of Church authorities held sway over his conscience and his sense of peace. Close to his deathbed, an exchange of letters with Elder Maxwell led to a downward spiral in his mental health. In his journal, he wrote, I’m getting close to a panic attack. I lay in bed this morning for almost an hour, just barely hanging on. My mind keeps circling, circling, over past failures, mistakes, omissions, wishing I could go back and change things. Nothing attracts me, fills me with desire to do, accomplish, feel. And as I think of what I must do, it all seems banal, petty doomed to failure. I felt this so much, because I have been there. But I came to a point in my life where I chose to discard this weight of guilt, of what the Church would think, of what my mission president would think, etc. But my inner religious life doesn’t belong to the Church, and I shouldn’t have to feel like they are peering over my shoulder all the time. I choose to stay faithful in the Church, but it is a conscious choice. In many ways, my faith has a different timbre to it than England’s. In many ways, England is more optimistic than myself. But I find hope in his hope. I think one of the things that will stick with me from England’s biography is his recounting of the story of Levi Savage:
As his student Dian Monson relates, “I remember how admiringly he would tell the story of Levi Savage, a member of the Martin Handcart Company and one of the few to challenge the decision by company leaders, among them an apostle, to embark on the trek across the plains at such a late season in the year. After voicing his strenuous objection to the decision and realizing his objection would go unheeded, Savage told fellow company members: ‘Seeing you are to go forward, I will go with you, will help you all I can, will work with you, will rest with you, will suffer with you, and if necessary, I will die with you.’”


Mike Patterson is a well regarded senior Xingyiquan teacher. He has competed successfully in full contact tournaments in Taiwan and has also trained several of his students to compete successfully in those tournaments.
Mike Pattersons’ Xingyi: A Means to an End is an excellent reference for a Xingyiquan student.
It was a pleasure to read a well thought out and produced book on the theory and practice of Xingyiquan.
Besides going in depth on just what is taking place with each of the Five Elements and Twelve Animals sets, Mr Patterson describes his own system of how to teach his students to actually fight with what they’ve learned from Xingyiquan practice. Not just applications or examples, but a theoretical, systematic and practical bridge from the classical exercises to combat.
He also recounts the history of xingyiquan in general and the Tang Shou Tao school of xingyiquan in particular. I particularly enjoyed his storytelling and anecdotes.
The margins of my copy will soon be filled with notes. This is the Xingyiquan book I’ve been looking for.

She sends care packages full of foods that are not readily availible, nylons and the sorts of things in short supply in London at the time. This is a very quick read, only about 100 pages or so and the letters are generally short. But it is a lovely story and definatly has earned it's place on my books about books shelf.
