On the seventh night we celebrate Goddess Kalaratri. This form of Durga has a complexion dark as night which symbolises infinity. Goddess Kalaratri is the Devi that accepts everything from the Devotee, not only the good, but all the negative qualities. She just absorbs them.

Alexander Wallace Douglas / Wallace A. Douglas
Alexander Wallace Douglas was born at Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada about 1842. At some point he moved to the United States, with his residence at Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana. On July 10, 1861 he enlisted at Madison, Indiana for 3 years in Company I, 22nd Indiana Infantry. He was listed as a 19-year-old farmer. He stood 5 feet 4 inches tall, had a light complexion, grey eyes, and dark hair. The regiment was mustered into Federal service on August 15, 1861.
The 22nd Indiana was sent west to Missouri and took part in its first significant combat at the battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas in March 1862, which succeeded in pushing the southerners out of Missouri for the next two years. By late spring, the regiment moved to Mississippi and joined in the Union siege of Corinth. Here, Douglas became ill with swelling or "Dropsy in the legs". On July 11, 1862 he was sent to the hospital in Jacinto, Mississippi. Records show he was admitted July 26, 1862 for Anasarca [fluid swelling] to the USA Hospital Steamer Stephen Decatur and was later transferred to a hospital and Convalescent Camp in Evansville, Indiana. By the end of August he had recovered and was back in the ranks, rejoining the Regiment at Iuka, Mississippi. About this same time he was promoted from private to corporal.
At battle of Perryville, Kentucky, on October 8, 1862, the 22nd Indiana was sent forward with two other infantry regiments and a battery of artillery to bolster an area of the Union line that had been badly cut up with the Federals retreating under a hot pursuit by the enemy. The new arrivals were formed in line of battle with the 22nd Indiana on the far right. The opposing armies traded volleys of musketry while the artillery sent shells in the Confederate ranks. As the sun sank behind the hills, fresh confederate troops advanced, creating confusion as to who were friends and who were enemies. Believing the troops in front of him were friendly, Confederate General Leonidas Polk rode forward to investigate and stumbled into the midst of the 22nd Indiana. Realizing his mistake he bluffed his way through in the fading light by ordering the Yankees to cease firing on their "friends" before making a dash back to his own lines. He then ordered his own troops to open fire on the by-now thoroughly confused Federals. The surprise Confederate volley mowed down many men in the 22nd Indiana. Many of the survivors did not realize that they had been visited and victimized by a Confederate general. An officer of the regiment later stated, "The 22nd marched into line of battle under fire at three o'clock p.m., and fought till night, which put an end to the conflict. On calling the roll at 8 o'clock that night, to nearly every other name in the regiment there was no answer. Fifty-two were killed, one hundred and thirty-seven wounded and forty-one taken prisoners...During the night the Confederates retreated. Upon visiting the battle field next day, a sad sight was presented to view. The dead of the 22nd, with hundreds from other regiments, lay just as they had fallen." [Historical Sketch of the Twenty-Second Regiment Indiana Volunteers by Lieut. R. V. Marshall, 1877]
Alex Douglas was one of the wounded. He had been shot on the left side, receiving a "Gunshot wound of breast, ball struck sixth rib a little to the left of nipple and glanced off." His company officer later explained, "Wound not thought serious at the time. Ball having past through his blanket which was rolled and tied over his shoulder and under his arm passing across his breast." Apparently his blanket roll had significantly slowed and deflected the bullet enough to prevent a more serious injury. Eventually the wound would be described as "perfectly healed, leaving a very light scar."
A few months later the regiment was heavily engaged at the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day battle of Stones River in Tennessee. Here the Union army took over 20% casualties. And while Douglas was not injured in the fighting, he did suffer from "an attack of Lung Fever at Stone River caused by exposure in line of duty." Fellow soldier William Hepley recalled that Douglas contracted a severe cold that January after "wading Stone River when the water was cold & a sleeting rain falling. He took cold & from this exposures & hardships then & before, he coughed much and was hoarse. We laid on the ground several days & nights without any fire in our wet clothes. Our clothes froze on us from wading said river."
Throughout 1863 the regiment occupied middle Tennessee, and was engaged in the siege of Chattanooga and the fights around Mission Ridge that fall. On December 23, 1863, at their camp near Blaine’s Cross Roads, Tennessee, Douglas and many others of the 22nd Indiana reenlisted as veteran volunteers. The spring campaign of 1864 saw the Union army fighting its war south towards Atlanta. On July 7 there was a slight skirmish at Chattahoochie River in which the Confederates fell back behind their works in front of Atlanta. Douglas was listed as "wounded in right eye," but again the injury must have been slight. There are no hospital records of his treatment.
After the fall of Atlanta, the 22nd Indiana took part in Sherman's March to the Sea, and the subsequent campaign through the Carolinas. At Bennett's Farm, North Carolina, General Joe Johnston surrendered his Confederate forces on April 26, 1865. The victorious Union troops then marched to Washington, D. C., via Richmond, Virginia. At Washington the men took part in the Grand Review on May 24, then moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where they were mustered out July 24, 1865. But before his discharge, Douglas received a promotion to sergeant.
In his later history of the 22nd Indiana, Lieutenant R. V. Marshall wrote, "Of all the regiments leaving Indiana and participating in the struggle of the great rebellion, the reports of Adjutant-General Terrell show that the losses in killed and wounded in action, among the field and line officers of the 22nd, exceeded those of any other Indiana regiment. In the ranks the proportion is equally large." [Historical Sketch of the Twenty-Second Regiment Indiana Volunteers by Lieut. R. V. Marshall, 1877]
On a more particular note, Captain A. R. Ravenscroft was quoted as saying, "Alex W. Douglas was a good soldier, never shirking any duty when able to perform the same."
In 1868, a few years after the war, Douglas relocated to Belle Plain, Benton County, Iowa. For some reason he dropped his first name and started using his middle name. Now known as Wallace A. Douglas, he was employed as a railroad locomotive engineer. The census of 1870 lists him as 28 years old. Also in his household at that time were Jessie, his 23-year-old wife; Frank, his 3-year-old son; and Emma Snell a 20-year-old woman who was his sister-in-law.
Ten years later, the 1880 census shows Wallace A. Douglas as a 37-year-old railroad engineer living in Boone, Iowa, with his 12-year-old son Frank and an 8-year-old daughter Maud. But Douglas' wife is now listed as 22-year-old Sarah E. Douglas. Jessie had passed away three years earlier on June 29, 1877. Sarah, his second wife, must have died early as well, because Douglas later married for a third time. On March 21, 1898, he wed Amanda M. Brown Snell in Cook County Illinois. She was the widow of James P. Snell who had died in Iowa in 1882. One wonders if James Snell may have been Douglas' brother-in-law by his first wife. In fact, James Snell and Jessie Douglas share the same tombstone. The union between Wallace and Amanda did not last long, however. Douglas died on September 26, 1899 at Tioga, Iowa. He was about 57 years old at the time.
The Father of the Nation,Don Stephen Senanayake
By Wasantha Senanayake
The Father of the Nation and Sri Lanka’s first Prime Minister paints in our minds an instant image of a well-built broad shouldered six footer, dark complexioned with rugged features and predominant gray walrus-like moustache.
Much has been written of his fine statecraft that transformed a British colony into an independent nation and the vast strides he took in the spheres of agriculture farming and irrigation. When visualizing him as the “Father of the Nation” and how he stood tall in the face of British Imperialism, it is easy to lose sight of him as a man.
Certainly, young Stephen did not follow the scholarly path of older brother Fredrick (FR) that led the latter to Cambridge University and subsequently was called to the Bar. Neither did the sophisticated administrative offices situated at Kanatte Road Colombo (as known then) where oldest brother Charles (D.C. Senanayake) managed the family estates and plumbago mines, hold much appeal.
Stephen’s approach to things was more “hands-on”, and he was happiest working in the deep mines of Botale or engaging in one of his numerous agricultural endeavours in the vast acres of Babilipitaya, Botale or Koul wewa. This was perhaps how D.S was able to inspire, many years later, the simple farming community to find new agricultural settlements in areas known to be inhospitable wastelands. The settlements that stand at Minneriya, Padaviya Gal Oya, just to mention a few tell us much of his achievements in a relatively short time. For agriculture, he knew, he had a life long love; he experimented with it and developed it with an obsessive passion and almost always mastered it.
The three Senanayake brothers though extremely close were very distinct personalities. This is even evident in the coining of nicknames by friends, which clearly show off their different personalities. D.C was ‘Colombo John’ as he was well established in the mercantile sector in Colombo and known to be a bit of a dandy. ‘London John’ was what F.R. was called by with allusions to the years of study and academic achievements in England and D.S was simply known as ‘Kele (Jungle) John’ for obvious reasons.
His grandson Ranjit fondly recalls an instance when he and his older brother Devinda were lifted up in the air by their grandfather and bundled into the bullock cart, taken through a lengthy excursion in the Ambewela farm and made to experience the not entirely palatable taste of freshly drawn milk of one of the cows. The remainder of that bullock cart journey resulted in both boys being physically sick throughout the bumpy ride back and granddad the carter being somewhat amused.
D.S, as a young man was reputed for his extra ordinary physical strength. Standing six feet and two inches tall and extremely energetic, he was the youngest son of Mudaliyar Don Spater Senanayake and his wife Catherine Elizabeth Senanayake. His formative years were in the village of Botale in Ambepussa, under the watchful eyes of the old Mudaliyar who was a shrewd and sharp •businessman. His mother was a deeply religious woman, who encouraged D.S in all his agricultural endeavours. Apart from his parents, one can easily infer that his elder brother F.R. had a great influence on his life after the temperance movement was founded by their father and the active role played by older brother FR. which resulted in the incarceration of all three brothers on false allegations of involvements in the riots of 1915. D.S. himself began to take an interest in public life. The execution of Henry Pedris by British officers left a deep impression on the Senanayake brothers and strengthened their resolve to carry out the struggle for independence. Leadership was left in the capable hands of F.R. Senanayake, until his sudden death while on pilgrimage in India on 1st January 1926. It was then that D.S. was suddenly propelled to the forefront, aided as always by the oldest brother D.C. Senanayake the philanthropist. It would not be incorrect to state that D .S’s advent into politics was somewhat an accident, that is, his joining the temperance movement was more of a means to please his father than any desire on his part to be in public life. He stuck however to the principles of the movement throughout his life abstaining from alcohol. He was however a hard smoker, who found it difficult to sit still without the puff of a cigarette every ten minutes or so. He enjoyed relaxing at his clubs, the Orient and the Sinhalese Sports Club, although after assuming office of premier this was relatively rare.
Whatever be the official duties, he was never too busy for his school. The spirit of S. Thomas, reigned in his heart and rushed through his veins. He never missed the Royal Thomian and was delighted to see both his Sons Dudley and Robert play at the “big matches”. In particular Robert distinguished himself by captaining S Thomas’and earning himself a place in the record books for a brilliant unbeaten half century. D.S. had himself played in the big matches of 1901 and 1902. He had however less luck with the bat than his sons, earning a pair of specs in 1901 and doing marginally better in 1902 where he made a single. It must be mentioned however that he made his contribution to his side behind the wickets bringing off several splendid catches. When once a commentator stated that Prime Minister Senanayake put his school before his country, Senanayake corrected the misconception by adding “the country before the school, but only by a short head”. Wrestling, boxing and football apart from his brilliance as a horseman made him somewhat of a 1egend in the sporting arena of S. Thomas’ where he distinguished himself, although not in the academic sense. The warden at the lime W.A. Stone wrote the following account on his leaving certificate. “D. S. Senanayake has been a pupil of the College since January 1893 where he entered the lowest form, and leaves from five. His conduct has been irreproachable his work satisfactory and his influence most salutary. He has held the position of dormitory prefect for the last few months here.”
A little known fact about D.S. Senanayake was his love for drama and theatre. As a young man his portrayal of King Rajasingha the first at the Gampaha pageant was highly commended at the time. For him. participating in village affairs, pageants and fairs was natural. He loved life in Botale where the ancestral home stood; he loved the village and the village folk and participated in the village events. Even as Prime Minister he would make sure to keep in touch with his roots and so found himself there on the weekends, reclined in his favourite armchair in his characteristic sarong and long sleeved banyan, in the spacious verandah of the Botale walawwa. Often, the heads of hundreds of villagers to whom he was friend and advisor surrounded him and if a dispute arose looked to him for judge and jury. They loved, respected and absolutely trusted him. His closeness to the community amongst whom, he grew up is reflected by an account related by the older villagers of Botale, about an incident of the then fatal small pox epidemic breaking out, and how one particular villager was isolated and not visited by anyone on account of the infection:
D.S not only visited the patient but carried him on his shoulders to the nearest hospital some miles away. His closeness to these people must have grown during the numerous years he spent reaching the depths of the earth in the plumbago mines of Botale or when planting up the vast acres of their land of which he is supposed to have planted some 80 acres of rubber and tapped them all himself!
At home he was a devoted father and a good husband. His wife Emily (Molly) Dunuwille was the sister of his oldest brother D.C.Senanayake’s wife. While the marriage of D.C Senanayake was an arranged one, D.S’s was a love marriage, meeting his bride- to- be when accompanying his older brother to their home. He is supposed to have first set eyes on Miss Dunuwille, as she returned to the house after a well bath, with her hair flowing to her waist and her ivory complexioned skin glistening, and not to mention the slightly plump figure clinging to the diya redda she was wearing. It was love at first sight! During the younger years of his sons, D.S. took great interest in teaching them to ride, making them as good horsemen as he was. In the later years of his life, he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren when time permitted. His grandchildren had always been fascinated by his walrus-like moustache, and he once commented that it was his grand children’s favourite plaything. Like his son Dudley, who was notorious for his greater than average appetite, D.S too was a ‘big eater’. He was especially fond of manioc, jak and kurakkan, and of course ripe mangoes. It is said that during the days he worked in the paddy fields, a diet of kiribath and treacle was what he appreciated most. If there was anything he could not do, it was to wind his watch, for if he ever attempted this feat, Mrs. Senanayake knew she would have to send it to the watch repairers. Although he loved to read, and had a vast library in his home “Woodlands”, he seldom found the time, and instead it was used regularly by his sons. On the rare occasion he actually did visit his I library, more often than not he would search for Bernard Shaw. Although not known for his eloquence in the legislature, he was always armed with all his facts and figures and had done copious research on the subject under discussion. He spoke plainly, and clearly as to what was on his mind. He was so direct in his approach, that a spade was called a spade and nothing but a spade! He often disarmed opponents with a common sense answer or solution. This was so even on the sensitive issue of Tamil representation in the first Ceylonese Parliament: when Senanayake was asked how many Tamils he wanted in the house, he replied “1 don’t care if they are all Tamils, provided they are elected as Ceylonese”. Fellow politicians, often commented of D.S’s favourite phrase, which was “actually, as a matter of fact” and is very frequently used in the beginnings of many of his speeches, which were almost always spontaneous. It is said that upon D.S’s entry into politics an initial written and memorized speech failed him in mid-oration and that he never resorted to that practice ever again! On the contrary, D.S spoke plainly and clearly, but there were times that some of his speeches bordered on the heights of eloquence! The Independence speech I should imagine was one such:. “On February 4, 1948, the British Crown has re-transferred that sovereignty: We glory in the fact that this transfer has been effected without a single drop of blood being shed. lt is in the fitness of things that this be so. For the shedding of blood is altogether repugnant to the religion of the Buddha which is professed by so many in Lanka.”
And another of D.S’s gems is the time he lashed out at the Colonial Office (pre independence) in August 1938. “Though England is a democratic country, there is no more an undemocratic institution anywhere than the Colonial Office.” Senanayake further added that the Colonial Office system was “Government of an autocrat with the assistance of bureaucrats” and summed up by noting “The reason there is so much dissatisfaction in the Colonial Empire is that England is trying to encourage democracy in a most undemocratic manner”.
Many who worked with him knew him to be precise, well informed and punctual. He woke up everyday at 4.00 a.m. and often rode for a while in the early hours. Immediately prior to setting off for official business, he made a visit to his orchid house situated at the front of his home in Woodlands. He had a large and rare collection of orchids which he treasured and tended himself. After a brief inspection he would choose the orchid that would honour his buttonhole that day.
On 22nd March 1952, Mr. Senanayake died at the Central hospital Colombo. His death resulted from a fall from the police horse Chithra, after suffering from a stroke brought on by vigorous riding. His riding companion Sir Richard Aluvihare noticed the premier lilt in an uncharacteristic fashion as he rode behind him, and then the fall that ended life. His last words spoken to Sir Richard Aluvihare had been “Richard let’s canter”. And so in characteristic style we may assume that D.S.Senanyake cantered to the next world. It was appropriate perhaps that a man of such strength and vigour should exit the scene in such dramatic action.

On 31st. March 1945, B-24J Liberator, serial number 42-51241, coded YM-T, of the 409th. Bomb Squadron, 93rd. Bomb Group took off from USAAF Station 104 at Hardwick, Norfolk loaded with 24 x 250 lb. bombs to attack the railway marshalling yards at Brunswick in Germany.
As the formation was assembling, the B-24 hit the propeller turbulence from another bomber, possibly 42-50907, and was thrown over onto its back. Laden with fuel and bombs the Liberator went into an uncontrollable spin. The tragedy was caught by the camera of S/Sgt. Edward T. Sozesny, waist gunner aboard another 93rd. BG bomber. Either jettisoned by the crew or more likely flung from the disintegrating B-24 as it broke up just before the crash, the 24 bombs all fell in fields adjacent to Brick Kiln Farm. Eighteen of the bombs exploded, with one damaging windows at South Cove, Wrentham, and Reydon. At 5:30 a.m. the main part of the B-24 crashed into a field beside the Cove Bottom to South Cove road and exploded in a blazing fireball from which there was no hope of survival for any of the crew.
The 6 ft. 6 in. (2 m) high stone Celtic wheel-head cross war memorial, decorated with elaborate relief-carved interlace decoration and inscribed in leaded lettering received Grade: II listed building status on 12th. September 2018.

Gardiner was a conservative and an opponent of Anne Boleyn, Cranmer, Cromwell and of any innovation in the Church, although he acquiesced grudgingly in the steadily increasing influence of the Reformation on the royal counsels. A description of his character from George Cavendish declared him "a swarthy complexion, hooked nose, deep-set eyes, a permanent frown, huge hands and a vengeful wit. He was ambitious, sure of himself, irascible, astute, and worldly."
In early August 1529 he was appointed the king's secretary. He had already been archdeacon of Taunton for several years. The archdeaconries of Worcester and of Norfolk were also added to a list of pluralities before November 1529 and in March 1530 respectively; in April 1531 he resigned all three for that of Leicester. In 1530 the King demanded a precedent from Cambridge to procure the decision of the university as to the unlawfulness of marriage with a deceased brother's wife: in accordance with the new plan devised for settling the question without the pope's intervention. In this Gardiner succeeded. In November 1531 the king rewarded him with the bishopric of Winchester, vacant since Wolsey's death.
During the reign of Edward VI Lord Seymour, Jane Seymour’s brother, appointed himself Lord Protector to advise and to act for the King in his minority. At this time several prominent statesmen were incarcerated in the Tower of London.
At the accession of Queen Mary I, the Duke of Norfolk and other state prisoners of high rank were in the Tower along with Gardiner; but the Queen, on her first entry into London, set them all free. After recanting his work regarding her mother’s divorce and her bastardy and restoring the ‘Old Faith’, Mary restored Gardiner to his Bishopric and appointed him Lord Chancellor. It was he who placed the crown on the Queen's head at her coronation. He also opened her first parliament and for some time was her leading councillor. As chancellor he had the onerous task of negotiating the Queen's marriage treaty with Philip II of Spain, for which he shared a general repugnance. In executing it, he took care to make the terms as advantageous for England as possible, with express provision that the Spaniards should in nowise be allowed to interfere in the government of the country. He officiated at their wedding in Winchester Cathedral in 1554. After the appointment of Cardinal Pole, and the reconciliation of the realm to the see of Rome, he still remained in high favour. How far he was responsible for the persecutions which afterwards arose is open to debate. He no doubt approved of the act, which passed the House of Lords while he presided there as chancellor, for the revival of the heresy laws.
Bishop Gardiner died at Westminster on 12 November 1555. He was temporarily buried in a vault at the church of St Mary Overie, and in February 1556 his body was conveyed to Winchester Cathedral, where, after a number of ceremonies, a final funeral service was conducted on 28 February 1556, at which time it was recorded that he had not been buried and that no ground was broken, in the expectation that in due course his executors would build a chapel within the cathedral for his incarceration.

Oliver looks like Lucy, but he doesn't. I spend very little time at my computer, so I haven't lined up a lot of side by side photos. But this I can say for sure:
Oliver's hair is a much lighter, ruddy color. In fact, before they bathed him, I thought it looked a little green. Mom said she thought it was the Watts complexion, or the same color as Frank's hair. I asked her if that meant he was going to be pasty white like me. The verdict is still out on his skin tone. I really hope he gets the olive complexion of his dad and sister.
While Lucy had this pencil eraser mark before her eyebrows appeared, they definitely came in thick. Henry and I both have full eyebrows, but I think that they are the same shape as Henry's. they have a little peak in the middle.
His eyes are much larger than Lucy's. I think that they are both Antonio's and Henry's eyes. I could tell this in the ultrasound. They both have the ability to make some creative expressions with opening their eyes very large. I'm expecting the same from this little guy.
Lucy and Oliver have different noses. His is a little pug nose. Lucy's comes down more. I can't say where either gets their noses. If we limited the gene pool to mine or Henry, I would say that Lucy has my nose and Oliver has Henry's. But that's not entirely clear yet. Henry's nose is the same as his cousin Sylva's in Montreal.
Maybe their mouth is the same.
And like the nose, Lucy has my Rutledge chin and Oliver has Henry's. This was also apparent in the ultrasound.
Lucy definitely has my ears. I have an upcoming post about that, but FYI she won the Smallest Ears award at school. It is too hard to say about Oliver's ears yet.
I think their legs and frame are very similar at this stage. Still tiny and lean. Granted that changed for Lucy. I wonder if she is going to always be a shorty and Oliver might be taller than Henry. I wouldn't be surprised.
They have the same little kitten voice and cries. Identical. I love it. I was worried that Oliver would be super loud and startling, but not the case. It took Lucy until pre-school to learn how to be very loud. And she gets that from her dad. He is definitely loud.
I was fully expecting Oliver to look like Henry and act like my dad. So far, I think he lives up to that. He is a content little guy. Granted I feel like I hold him all of the time. But with a second and planned final child, my perspective is totally different.
With Lucy, I would think "Oh no! It's been four weeks and I'm still x all of the time!" With Oliver, my feeling is the opposite. Like when I realized that Monday was four weeks and it made me want to hold him more. I only dread nighttime a negligible amount vs a nightly dread that spilled over into our days for the entire first year. It's way better than I expected the second time around.
