Fra boksamler Steffen Lauge Pedersen (1927-2017) i Danmark mottok vi i 2013 den nedenfor følgende erindring om en liten og kanskje litt uvanlig bok i hans far Harald Pedersens (1897-1968) samling. Samme bok har vi også i Byarkivets samlinger. Boken er skrevet av Nordahl Grieg og er trykket på sigarettpapir; boken ble droppet over Norge av engelskmennene under krigen. Lauge Pedersen forteller at familien feiret julen i Kongsberg i 1945. [S.A.].

Den norske forfatter, Johan Nordahl Brun Grieg (1902-1943)

Han var en respekteret forfatter, som havde skrevet socialt engagerede bøger omkring den spanske borgerkrig i 1937 og også på grundlag af et ophold i Moskva i 1932 -1934, hvor han desværre lod sig besnakke af den primitive russiske propaganda til at tro, at de såkaldte udrensningsprocesser i trediverne udsprang af en nødvendig retshåndhævelse for at sikre socialismen og arbejder-klassen imod de klasse-fjendske forræderes djævelske rænker.

Kort sagt, Nordahl Grieg var overbevist kommunist, der som så mange andre var forblændede af deres egen “stormands-galskab”, som min far kaldte det.

Grieg var flygtet til England under anden verdenskrig, hvor han gennemgik militær-uddannelse og blev udnævnt til kaptajn. Han fungerede imidlertid som journalist og propagandist i BBC.

Han omkom, da han som passager og korrespondent natten mellem den 2. og 3. december 1943 opholdt sig i et engelsk bombefly, som blev skudt ned over Berlin. Englænderne betragtede ham som så væsentlig en person, at de lod fremstille en bog i miniformat, trykt på cigaretpapir – den er på 80 sider og vejer 16 g. Denne bog, som rummer Grieg’s sange, digte og taler fra besættelsestiden, kastede de ned over Norge. [Min far] HP lod sit eksemplar indbinde/indlægge i et smukt, blåt Juul-Lassen halvbind.

Grieg bebrejdede – og med rette – demokratierne i Europa, at de ikke elskede friheden så højt, at de i tide skred ind overfor Hitler-Tyskland. Bogen hedder FRIHET OG LIV ER ETT.

Kort tid herefter udkom i februar måned 1944 i Reykjavik bogen FRIHETEN, ligeledes trykt på ganske tyndt papir, indeholdende for en dels vedkommende de samme digte/sange, som var indeholdt i Frihet og Liv er ett. Tonen er nænsom og resigneret i forhold til Danmark og Sverige, hvor Danmark måtte give op med Dybbøl brændende i baghovedet, og Sverige med de tyske transit-troppetransporter, som måtte svide en nationalt engageret digter som Grieg dybt i sjælen:

Om venlighet strømmer mot deg,

tenker du kanskje kort,

at selv får du hjertelaget,

men fienden troppetransport.

Hvis volden får gjøre et sjakk-trekk,

flyttes din sak, som en brikke.

Men makt til å rokke ditt indre

har de allikevel ikke!

[Min far] HP lod bogen indbinde i et af Axel Knudsens smukkeste papirbind, gråblåt med guldbort langs for- og bagperm. Af et indlagt kort fra bogbinderen fremgår det, at han har måttet lægge bindet i pres i 8 måneder, fordi papiret ikke tålte vand og let blev krøllet.

Jo, HP skønnede i høj grad på disse to bøger, men han var på den anden side helt bevidst om Nordahl Grieg’s svaghed i sine analyser af de forhold, han på grundlag af sine udenlandsrejser udmøntede i angreb på det såkaldte kapitalistiske system, i Norge og i Vesten i øvrigt.

Han havde udviklet sig til en naiv agitator, og med udgangspunkt i artikler i tidsskriftet «Vejen Frem» (1936-37), hvor han forbeholdsløst støttede Josef Stalins forbryderiske udrensninger af sine reelle og selvopfundne fjender, var han i sine seneste år før 2. Verdenskrig brød ud reelt blevet overbevist kommunist. Dette gav efter krigen nordmændene problemer med at forene dette med hans utvivlsomme fædrelandskærlighed og humane grund-holdninger.

Uden at dette skal være en begavet litteraturhistorisk sammenligning, kan man vel sammenholde Nordahl Griegs og Knut Hamsuns politiske naivisme med Kaj Munks mere helstøbte ideologi (efter at sidstnævnte havde lagt sin stormands-forgabelse bag sig !).

Som ungt menneske, mens begreberne var ved at fæstne sig, spurgte jeg, fortæller man, min far, hvad kommunisme var for noget. [Min far] HP forsøgte at forklare mig det, og min reaktion skal have været: Jamen far, hvorfor er ikke alle mennesker kommunister ?

Jeg har megen grund til at takke [min far] HP for hans indsigt i og viden om moderne historie og politik. Det har lettet mig omgangen med de to vanvids-ismer, jeg er vokset op med, overordentligt. Hans indgangsvinkel til Moskva-processerne var rent psykologisk. Han sagde ganske enkelt: Folk opfører sig ikke sådan i retten, uanset om de er skyldige eller uskyldige.

This villa was built in the 18th century on one of the most beautiful places on earth with a killer view! Only this view will add a million dollars to the price of these grounds. It was built by a wealthy baron who built it as his summer house. When the baron left, rumours say that the villa was owned by anarchists, Utopians and agitators. At one time even they left and currently the place is awaiting to be bought. Probably for some several millions…

The surrounding gardens are packed with tropical plants and when we were there we heard the gardener at work some 15 meters away. I think the surrounding luxury villas make sure also this garden is kept nice and tidy. We managed to avoid the gardener and did our thing in the Mediterranean sun.

Shaw's Corner, Ayot St. Lawrence, Hertfordshire, England, UK

Shaw's Corner was the home of George Bernard Shaw, Irish writer and dramatist, from 1906 until his death at 94 in 1950. Shaw bequeathed the property, complete with its contents, to the National Trust before his death. This meant that his house, set in magnificent rural tranquillity, has been saved much as it was when the great man was alive.

Built in 1902, Shaw's Corner is located at Ayot Saint Lawrence in Hertfordshire. Bernard and Charlotte Shaw at first rented the house from the Church of England, but bought it outright in 1920 for £6,220

• The Dining Room is where some favourite photos still shine out. These famous people motivated Shaw throughout his life. From left to right we see: Gandhi, peaceful agitator lawyer, who struggled for Indian independence; Felix Dzerzhinsky, head of the Soviet Secret Police; Lenin, Russian revolutionary who helped overthrow unelected Tsarist rule in Russia; Stalin, who tightened the Bolshevik grip on the people of Russia; Shaw's Irish birthplace; Harley Granville Barker, an actor, playwright, director and theatre theorist; and fellow playwright, Henrik Ibsen.

Those not seen here, but who had a profound influence on Shaw's outlook, are William Morris and John Ruskin,

This is fun for me as I lived in Crystal Lake, Illinois, for 7 years.

A Cemex DAF CF 75 8-wheeled concrete mixer KE56KAJ turns into the batching plant for another load.

With the most influential fundraiser/popularity contest up and running, I thought it presented a rather interesting opportunity.

I’ve always been of the view than rather an opportunity to vote for mates, colleagues and famous faces, it should be presented as a means to introduce some of the most intelligent thinkers in our sector to a much wider audience.

Indeed, a number of years ago, I published a list of the fundraisers that have influenced me and hopefully bought some new ideas and views to people’s attention.

With the sector at the start of a new paradigm, i’m going to repeat the exercise, but this time with a different approach. I’m recommending a group of fundraisers who I strongly think should influence your fundraising over the coming years.

The group is made up of people who have taken a long-term focus on fundraising. Who care about the giving experience and who understand that connected and engaged donors are far more valuable that just another person who has agreed to a low value direct debit simply because they have struggled to say no to the request for help.

I’ve also focused on fundraisers who actively actually share thoughts and ideas through blogging, writing articles or books and through regular presentations at conferences.

This list is in no particular order of preference, but I do have one particular favourite who’ll be at my number one spot. I’ll tell you about them at the end.

Shannon Doolittle

Shannon is an absolute definite for a fundraiser that should influence you. She has focused on the need to reward, love and cherish donors since well before it became fashionable. In all my conversations with Shannon, I’ve found that everything she does and recommends is based on an incredibly deep understanding of why people give. Shannon was the first fundraiser who flagged up to me that people often give as a means to manage memories of a traumatic past. Together with the brilliant Beth Ann Locke (who is also worth voting for) Shannon also founded Gratitude Camp. Shannon can be found at shannondoolittle.com.

Tom Ahern

Tom is one of the greatest fundraisers around. Whether he focuses on copy, mailing packs, newsletters or even developing a case for support, his advice is some of the most effective you’ll ever receive. Tom has written a huge number of books that are all worth reading. At Bluefrog, we used Tom’s thinking shared in How to Raise More Money with Newsletters Then you Ever Thought Possible to develop our own very successful approach to super-charging newsletters. Read what Tom has to say and use it. Your donors will be more engaged and give more as a result. Tom can be found at aherncomm.com.

Simone Joyaux

Simone is fabulous. She has a speciality that I think many UK charities could benefit from. Simone (amongst other things) focuses on making your board as strong as it can possibly be, with a particular emphasis on how they should engage and enhance in fundraising. The title of her book, Firing Lousy Board Members: And Helping the Others Succeed should give a few clues to her approach. With Trustees needing to take much more interest in how charities raise funds, Simone is the person that will help you ensure they make the right decisions. Simone can be found at simonejoyaux.com.

Roger Craver

Roger, aside from being one half of The Agitator, published one of my favourite books on fundraising of recent years, Retention Fundraising: The New Art and Science of Keeping your Donors for Life. For years, Roger has been encouraging fundraisers to look behind the numbers and focus on what works in fundraising. In his writing, he highlights the futility of thinking that a ‘good cause’ will attract and retain donors without hard work. Roger has long pointed out the stupidity of recruiting new donors if you have no idea of how to retain them.

I’ve given Roger the nod over his equally brilliant Agitator, Tom Belford (who you should also follow) simply because of the book and the fact that I’m struggling to keep this list down to ten.

Jen Love

I think it was Jen, along with her father, David Love, who first coined the term donor love, which has now grown in to the #donorlove movement. Coming out of Canada, it is perhaps the most important fundraising initiative around today. It focuses on placing donors at the heart of the fundraiser’s world. Jen is also (along with the equally wonderful John Lepp) one of the founders of Agents of Good, one of the best fundraising agencies out there.

Rory Green

Rory is another key member of the #donorlove movement and is a fantastic fundraiser who focuses on the importance of answering the needs of donors when developing fundraising strategies and creative work. Rory is also known as the Fundraiser Grrl. Rory has a focus on higher value donors, but so much of what she shares can be applied across the spectrum of individual donors. Rory can be found at roryjmgreen.com.

Maeve Strathy

I’m sticking with the #donorlove movement with Maeve, who developed the mid-value donor programme at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario. Maeve is a fundraising strategist for the fantastic Canadian agency, Blakely, where she leads the thinking on mid-value donors. Understanding this wealthier group of charity supporters will be an essential area for fundraisers over the decade. Maeve shares her thoughts at whatgivesphilanthropy.com

Damian O’Broin

Damian has long been one of my favourite fundraisers. As founder of Ask Direct in Ireland, Damian puts a huge amount of effort into sharing ideas and promoting best practice. He’s the founder of the Fundraising Summer School in Ireland which looks like it’s going to be one of the best fundraising conferences of the year. When it comes to individual giving, Damian really understands what donors want. Damian can be found at AskDirect.ie.

Amanda Santer

I’ve worked with Amanda for many years. Where she excels is in asking the right questions. One of the key failings of the sector over the last few years has perhaps been the strategic targets we’ve chosen – far too often it’s simply been the bottom line. Amanda has always focused on what donors want and how we should deliver a fantastic experience to them. I personally owe Amanda a big thank you as it’s so often been her questions that have kept Bluefrog really focused on understanding donor needs. Amanda can be found at Zen and Inspiration.

Tony Elischer

Everyone knows Tony. He was an amazing force of energy that transformed any event or presentation he was involved with. His passing is a terrible loss to the world of fundraising. Tony has been a major influence on my thinking in recent years. In 2010 when he asked me to present a fundraising retrospective at the 30th anniversary IFC conference in Amsterdam, he inadvertently changed my approach to fundraising. I found many, many great fundraising ideas that were just waiting to be updated. Since then, whenever I need to solve problems, I look at our industry’s history as a starting point. We need to remember that the problems we face today have been seen and resolved by others before us. I shall always thank Tony for that insight. Tony is my vote for the number one spot.

Honourable mentions

By restricting myself to just ten people, I've been forced to leave out some great people who really need a mention. I'm thinking of Jeff Brooks, whose blog, Future Fundraising Now is essential reading. Ken Burnett, the man who wrote Relationship Fundraising, set up Sofii.org and blogs at KenBurnett.com. Rachel Beer, who apart from creating the #NFPtweetup, was one of the few fundraisers to highlight the problems the sector was facing long before it became a front page news story. Howard Lake, who publishes the magnificent resource which is UK Fundraising and runs Fundraising Camp. Craig Linton, who regularly features the best of the web as the Fundraising Detective. Simon Scriver who shares some great advice on donor engagement at Changefundrasing.com. Adrian Salmon – another of my favourite fundraisers – who blogs at I Open My Mouth and Words Come Out and Pamela Grow who regularly offers great advice for small charities on how they can improve their fundraising at PamelaGrow.org.

I'd also like to flag up one for the future, Victoria Ward, who blogs at Flight of the Fundraiser. She's relatively new to the sector, but is already demonstrating great insight.

I've missed out loads of great people that you might like to vote for. If I have, why not suggest their names in the comments section so others can learn about them too.

So, please think carefully about who you think you'd really like to influence the sector and make your vote count. Anyone involved in fundraising from anywhere in the world can vote. The survey is here.

Man, so much going on in this town NYC!

Okay, a couple of weeks ago, the New York Times broke out with an article on how undercover cops are attending Critical Mass rides and even small bike memorials. The undercover donut-hustlers were even trying to dress the part, i.e.

one female cop wore a button that read "I'm a shameless agitator". Icky.

Coverage and video: www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/12/27/1444202

And it's been a grim past couple of weeks for this town's graffiti artists, particularly the youngins under 21 who can get busted if in possesion of aerosal paint or markers! But if Dracula Cheney wants 'em to kill Iraqis that's cool!

More here: news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060109/ts_afp/afplifestyleusart_06...

This past Sunday (January 9th) over 150 bicylists turned out for a ride in memorial to the 21 bicyclists killed by motorists in NYC in 2005. The Village Voice did quality coverage on this: www.villagevoice.com/blogs/powerplays/archives/002304.php

And finally, on January 10th, a judge "took a bite out of the city's efforts to rein in the monthly Critical Mass rides when he ruled that the New York City law barring people from "parading without a permit" is unconstitutional." YAYYYY!! Weeeee!! More here~~~

The late iron age earthwork settlement is visible under the horizon line centre and left. See how the 'hill' to its right is just a little bit higher and how the term 'hill fort' was not a universal prescription. Almost certainly an Iceni structure and built within a meander of the river Stiffkey.

Probably quite late for an Iron age camp with at least 500 years of Iron age earthwork settlements prior to its potential construction date of around 2,200 ybp. This later date would put the construction around the time of the second Punic wars of 206 BC where Roman armies invaded southern Hispanic sites. Today's Spain would be converted into an administrative client state by 27 BC with France belittled in 125 BC. Mobile Celtic traders and spiritual leaders will have conveyed far away changes to regional leaders and thinkers. At the same time, 'Fifth column' Roman agitators (sold traders and voyagers) might have offered alternative takes on distant invasions. The extent to which Warham camp was built within this greater context needs to be measured before its archaeological specificities are imagined onto other older local Iron age camps. Evidence of a wooden fence and walkway were found in digs with these topping the inner bank and there is no doubt that the great effort would have had great defensive capacity.

There is an excellent Oxford Uni... site with the 4,000 hill forts from the British Isles :

Kann man Ironie blasen? Klassenkampf singen? Die Bolschewistische Kurkapelle kann das!

Die Bolschewistische Kurkapelle Schwarz-Rot -hier auf einer Demonstration und Kundgebung zum „Internationalen Kampf- und Feiertag der Arbeitslosen“ am 2. Mai im Prenzlauer Berg vor dem Baiz- ist eine Blaskapellengruppe aus Trompete, Bariton, Horn, Saxophon, Klarinette, Posaune und Tuba aus Berlin, die sich 1986 als soziales, musikalisches Experiment und als Nachfolger der Liedtheatergruppe Karls Enkel in Ost-Berlin gründete, mit dem Anspruch, Arbeiterlieder jenseits der DDR-Propaganda wieder hörbar zu machen. Beeinflusst wurde die Band durch die Ideen von Erwin Piscator.

In unterschiedlicher Besetzung, aber immer mit einer deutlichen Dominanz der Blechbläser, hat sie vor allem Arbeiterlieder im Repertoire, die sie neu interpretiert. Frönte man anfangs agitatorischen Liedern des Ostens – die Hymne der Sowjetunion, „Soldaty v put“ (Солдаты в путь), das Weltjugendlied samt Junge-Pioniere-Heimat-Kampf-Potpourris, so ging man später dazu über, westliche Protestformen in der Musik auszuloten und blies mit Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Laibach und den Einstürzenden Neubauten zur Attacke.

Grundsätzlich stehe der „programmatisch-politische Anspruch“ im Vordergrund, die Band möchte sich nicht auf ein reines Spaßprogramm beschränken lassen.

Ein Querschnitt durch die Ostberliner Bohème hatte sich einst in der Kapelle versammelt, eine Abordnung derer, die anders waren, unangepasst, subversiv und vielleicht sogar ein wenig widerständig. Sie spielten für die FDJ und für Hausbesetzer, in Kirchen, Umweltbibliotheken, Galerien, Jugendklubs, auf Straßenfesten und überall, wo man sie ließ. Sie spielten nicht nur Eisler und Brecht, nicht nur Arbeiterlieder und Agit-Prop, sondern auch Popsongs oder Folklore, Walzer und Marsch, altes und neues.

Die Bolschewistische Kurkapelle teilte sich im Sommer 2010 in zwei Sektionen. Eine firmiert weiterhin als Bolschewistische Kurkapelle Schwarz-Rot, die andere Sektion tritt seit 2012 unter dem Namen „Sogenannte Anarchistische Musikwirtschaft“ auf.

DNC Day 1:

- Alex Jones v Michelle Malkin @ denver mint - recreate 68 rally - Photo: Stephen Dohnberg - www.globalpundit.org for www.theuptake.org

Our video footage is also available of the entire confrontation at:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=68y98kZxq3M

www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVMH4GG9w2k

caught this accidental action inside the melee as Alex Jones caught sight of malkin and turned the whole event into the 'Confrontation'. Thanks to our footage Michelle Malkin was exposed as having indicated to the media (bit no authorities) that alex Jones allegedly yelled "Kill Michelle Malkin", when in fact it was clearly some agitators whose loyalties were probably more toward hoping some memorable craziness would emerge. The same clowns (in goofy frat boy hats and one in a green tee who you can see asked Jones to pose for a photo) also yelled "Alex Jones is a capitalist stooge".

Quite an afternoon of half assed intrigue - or rather about an hour of half assed intrigue - which Fox News was eager to gobble up without any research whatsoever. Then again, what else is new?

Agitators Collective: Paid In Full (Chocolate Cha Cha)

Arkhip Kuindzhi (Mariupol, 1842 - St. Petersburg, 1910) is considered one of the most talented Russian landscape painters of his generation. Born in Ukraine, he was associated during the second half of the 1870s with a group of Russian Realist painters known as the Wanderers. In the 1890s, he was hired to teach landscape painting at the Academy of Fine Arts but was later dismissed for sympathizing with student agitators. He ultimately founded his own painting society.

This late major painting is typical of Kuindzhi, who is best known for his large, nearly empty landscapes. The scene shows a sunset over the banks of the Dnieper, a great river that originates west of Moscow and runs far south into the Black Sea. The dark shapes in the foreground represent a cluster of thatched-roof huts, typical of the region.

Taken from a parking lot a short distance from our home, the open water is from the agitator that keeps it form freezing around a dock. The white behind it is ice on the surface of Lake Decatur. It was actually a surprise to find this as I downloaded my camera. The heron had flown out unexpectedly and while I got several shots, I didn't anticipate a keeper. This turned out much better than I dared hope for. Of those I've taken, I think it's one of my favorite GBH shots ever.

My own hands getting a teensy bit wrinkly now.

When I think back to my mother's hands at my age I realise how red and work-worn they looked. She was used to scrubbing the floors on hands and knees. And Monday was washday; she did washing for five of us by hand when we were young, then using a Service washer which had a single tub with an agitator, and rubber rollers on top to wringe the clothes.

When my parents had their first automatic washer, they couldn't stop looking at it, to make sure it was still 'going'. And I remember my mother telling my dad NOT to try opening the door straight away; she had read the instructions and told him there was a time-delay switch - but no, he kept pulling the handle until it snapped.

That was typical of dad. The first push-button tv we had, he couldn't resist changing the channels, until we had to shout at him. He just grinned and said it was good exercise for the tv to be switched over.

Paul Cuffee (January 17, 1759 – September 9, 1817) was a Quaker businessman, Sea Captain, patriot, and abolitionist.

In the beginning of 1817, Cuffee’s health deteriorated. He never returned to Africa. He died on September 7, 1817. His final words were "Let me pass quietly away." Cuffee left an estate with an estimated value of almost $20,000.

A cloudy day did not allow for the best photo. But you take what you can get. The city is Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I caught this fellow when waiting for an Amtrak train.

Bedford TK Agitator, RPR 338, was the first TK model to enter service with the Hyde Sand & Gravel Co. from Wareham, going on the road in May 1961. The Agitator equipment was supplied by Eonit Engineering of Erith, the Bedford chassis being provided by Lee Motors. The previous Agitators in the range were eleven short-wheelbase S-Type Bedfords. The company was acquired by the Amey Group in 1968.

George Washington Bacon - Bacon's Map of Liverpool Corrected to the Present Time. (c.1890).

This is Bacon’s scarce c. 1890 travellers pocket map of Liverpool, England. Cartographically Bacon derived this map from the Ordinance Survey with embellishments including quarter mile grid and square segmentation, beautiful hand tinting, and a focus on the identification of docks, rail stations, churches, municipal buildings, parks, and other important buildings. Notes all streets and city wards. Parks are highlighted in green, pocks in blue, sandbars in yellow, and transportation hubs in red. Published form C. W. Bacon’s office at 127 Strand Street, London. This map was originally purchased in by A. H. Green in Liverpool bookseller and stationer H. B. Saunders. Though most maps are without substantial provenance, this map is known to have been originally purchased for the European tour of the prominent 19th century New Yorker Andrew Haswell Green (1820 - November 13, 1903). A. H. Green was a New York lawyer, city planner, civic leader and agitator for reform. Called by some historians a hundred years later the 19th century Robert Moses, he held several offices and played important roles in many New York projects, including the development of Riverside Drive, Morningside Park, Fort Washington Park, and Central Park. His last great project was the consolidation of the Imperial City or “City of Greater New York” from the earlier cities of New York, Brooklyn and Long Island City, and still largely rural parts of Westchester, Richmond and Queens Counties. In 1903 Green was murdered in a case of mistaken identity. He is buried in Worcester. In 1905 his family estate in Worchester was turned into a public park. Green's personal effects and other belongings were stored for over 100 years until recently being rediscovered and offed for sale.

1968. 45 years ago. "Oliver" and "Funny Girl" were hits at the box office. "Respect" and "Grazin' in the Grass" were blaring out of every transistor radio. Mini-skirts and Nehru jackets were the style. The Chevy Impala was the nation's best-selling car; VW had 52% of the entire U.S. imported-car market.

And my parents, after five years of laundromat visits after our old Bendix Duomatic died, bought this Kenmore washer-dryer pair from the long-gone Sears at 63rd and Halsted. Sears, in those days, had everything, even motorboats in its famous "Wish Book"; in those pre-Wal-Mart days, it was where America shopped.

This washer-dryer combination has been extremely good to us; in all this time, the only time the washer conked out on us was in 1983, when it suddenly refused to go through the various parts of the cycles. The repairman diagnosed a transmission that was low on fluid. (Yes, washing machines have transmissions to govern the transition from fill to agitate to empty to rinse to spin.) He showed me how to fill it through the VERY tiny hole provided for that purpose, and the machine soldiered on for the next 30 years, until two weeks ago.

An unbent paper clip stuck down the hole diagnosed the problem: bony dry. A refill with a 1/4" tube with one end tapered and a tiny funnel on the other refilled it (it took about 6 ounces of a 12 oz bottle of trans stop-leak)

So now, it runs like a top again, ready for another 45 years, and possibly its own display at the Smithsonian, as a reminder of a time when large appliances were actually built to last, and to actually be repaired when they broke down.

Black Saturday +day24

update latest news

The trees in this shot are 20-30m tall. Note the leaves on all the tree are burnt. This means the flames are as tall as the trees. The house is about the same distance from the trees.

Doing the dishes

Rang Dad today (permanent phone on) to check on both how he's going and reports I read on the news today on basics being denied to residents at Kinglake and Kinglake West.

He was doing the dishes in no particular hurry. I mentioned the locals are calling the BS, contacting the media to get things done. He confirmed they closed down the food and removed the water tankers. I can't understand why? The topics we talked about included how all the native birds are back. Parrots, Wrens who escaped the fire and now moving back in. How he's assembled one of the collapsible tanks for water after moving them by hand and put them on bricks not the pallets organised.

Dad also mentioned taking the tanks back but I advised him they are there as long as required and I'll organise returning them when they are finished. The tank-man is coming out to take a look at Frank (The Tank).

Water

Water is still critical as there has been no rain, the bore works but water may become contaminated over time. Going to the trouble sourcing multiple sterile water containers, then organising and delivering water storage capacity has proved to be 100% spot on the correct priority. The inability for local authorities to supply basics on a continual basis at +day24 is poor, but not unexpected.

Police deliver legal documents

Dad also mentioned the Police letter dropped a printed page outlining how house-owners would be prosecuted for moving any rubble on the property by order of the Coroner. Never mind the asbestos. He's got food, water, power and vehicles. I mentioned that a Stat-Dec could come in handy if he wanted assistance to pull down some trees (widow-makers) near the house. This is the level we have sunk to. Using legal documents to request help if needed to get around road-blocks and restrictions. Dad also mentioned he is pretty lucent and not too effected by the event. He knows of others that are not.

So at the moment he's not doing to badly. Compared to most he's doing well.

Some observations

From comments I've left on ABC article Lessons can be learnt from tsunami response

Nice observations Andrew,

I've been closely watching the fires unfolding since Black Saturday. My Dad survived in Kinglake West with house intact and no loss of cars but lots of shed & property damage. By all accounts he is probably in the best of situations. As of +day23, Black Saturday he has shelter, power, water and vehicles to travel. This is not the norm. Most residents are without all or some of the above. Living with compromised services. So I'll give you my take of what information I've observed, collected and read:

Inability of command to ensure basics & logistics

- it's absolutely critical that basics Water, food and shelter be arranged. As of today both water and food are in short supply and only because local Kinglake residents and media (in this case The Age newspaper reporter Selma Milovanovic is on the ground) ~ www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/3320803820/

- Water is critical. Why hasn't each resident been delivered say a 1000L sterile water tank and have it refilled on demand? ~ www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/sets/72157614178152108/

- why was the reliable water supplies removed?

Inability of command to be flexible with legalistic demands

- from day 1 control into & out of Kinglake area has restricted by police. At first this was essential because the area was not safe. However as the safety issue was resolved bans still remained denying residents access past control lines to go back in. This is of course flouted. How else do you ensure essential water and portable power to be provided in the first 72Hrs? Do you wait for the official response?

- Now certain Kinglake areas have been hit with very harsh legal demands. Stating any removal of rubbish is punishable by severe penalties because a coroner (Judge) in Melbourne wants all potential deaths thoroughly investigated. In an office in Melbourne this appears sound. On the ground it's an inflexible PIA and needs to be resolved.

Inability of command to recognise health issues

- Anecdotal evidence I'm hearing suggests residents in the area severely traumatised are beginning to show signs of PTSD and other symptoms but the best response we have is very vague in details of how this will be attacked www.premier.vic.gov.au/minister-for-community-services/me...

- Legal orders placed on resident cleanups are being enforced despite the fact both Asbestos and other toxic chemicals are present on properties

- Up till this afternoon basics of water & food distribution was stopped www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/03/02/2505337.htm as authority passed from jurisdiction in this case state DHS to local shires www.theage.com.au/national/fire-victims-relief-crisis-200...

Inability of command to listen and act on residents requests, transparently

- the poor communication lines and consultation of local residents is becoming a problem. The only access that seems to work is a lengthy story to the media, the media (The Age in particular) writes up a story and Ministers have to respond.

- there appears to be a one-way conversation. Why? Listening to the requests as they come up. Where is the liason b/w residents on the ground and decision makers? The only advocates for residents are either on-the-ground agitators, news reporters or third parties who have access to knowledge and reporting ability.

I know the article you mentioned has been on the medium to long term perspective but all I can see at the moment is pretty p*ss-poor execution. What I'd like to see is:

a) Representatives of Red Cross, media liason, government rep at each local area to source the trouble at a local level and sort it out. Bend the rules to enable survivors get what they need without unnecessary legal or political interference.

b) Get a high level political order out that 1) basics of food, water, shelter be monitored at all times for 3-6 months and any changes or reductions in service be justified to residents and the public.

c) Get high level political order out telling both Police & Coroner to work some level of compromise on both travel bans and clean ups as a priority. The living take priority over the dead.

d) Allow clear access of both commercial and state (ABC) media to the area to report what they see without interference. This allows impartial oversite.

The biggest problem I have is, authorities with resources are not delivering on what residents want and need in a timely manner. There is no liason. Authority is being wielded by certain inflexible legal bodies. There is no recognition the law in this situation is not as applicable in a disaster zone. Execution is being hampered by the in-ability of authority to adapt.

While people who are responsible for these functions are paid, tucked up in bed and fed, the perception (and as has been shown this week, reality) are being derelict in their duty to pull out all the stops and get these (simple problems) resolved. Until then, the medium to long term objectives are nice to pontificate over, but of little use.

This villa was built in the 18th century on one of the most beautiful places on earth with a killer view! Only this view will add a million dollars to the price of these grounds. It was built by a wealthy baron who built it as his summer house. When the baron left, rumours say that the villa was owned by anarchists, Utopians and agitators. At one time even they left and currently the place is awaiting to be bought. Probably for some several millions…

The surrounding gardens are packed with tropical plants and when we were there we heard the gardener at work some 15 meters away. I think the surrounding luxury villas make sure also this garden is kept nice and tidy. We managed to avoid the gardener and did our thing in the Mediterranean sun.

A police officer escorts black children to the Poolesville, Md. school September 5, 1956 during protests and a boycott by white supremacist parents and students.

Two years after the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision outlawing segregation of public schools by race, Montgomery County, Md. began a phased integration of its schools. In the upper county area this meant sending 14 select, upper grade black students to the K-12 school in Poolesville.

The integration effort went on without organized opposition throughout the rest of the county, but staunch segregationists organized a school boycott and a series of demonstrations and protest meetings in an attempt to halt black students from attending the all-white school in Poolesville.

On the first day of classes on September 5, 1956 about 150 parents gathered outside the school to encourage the students and other parents to keep their children out of school. About 300 children were held out on the first day.

One woman in the crowd shouted out, “We oughta make so much noise that they can’t teach.”

School principal Robert T. Crawford estimated that about 173 of 340 elementary students were absent and 125 of the 260 pupils in the high school were not in class.

The 14 black students, all assigned to the seventh, eighth and ninth grades, were escorted into the school by police and teachers.

One of the organizers of the boycott was Everette Severe of the Maryland Petition Committee, a white supremacist group seeking a referendum vote to block integration of schools throughout the state.

Severe a well-known white supremacist having written letters to newspapers opposing integration and speaking at pro-segregation rallies. He lived in Kensington, Md. and did not have children.

Severe told the crowd outside the school, “We’re not supposed to send our kids to school until we have a hearing. Keep your kids out of school every day this week.”

Severe circulated a petition to demand a hearing on the issue. It said in part that the admission of the black students placed “in serious jeopardy” the “security and welfare” of their children.

Severe also helped organize a meeting of the segregationists at a Poolesville hall that night where they vowed to continue the fight.

Previous to the Poolesville boycott Severe on September 3rd told a Charlottesville, Va. rally opposed to integration that the people “are the law of the land, not the Supreme court.”

The day before Montgomery County schools opened, Severe attended a white supremacist meeting in Wayson’s Corner to urge a boycott of Anne Arundel County schools telling the crowd that the U.S. Supreme Court decision was invalid because, “Their total legal background hardly adds up to one good country lawyer.”

He called for an organization to halt integration adding, “God grant that it will happen quickly.”

The Poolesville group attempted to keep pressure on the school board to hold a hearing by staging a march on the county seat in Rockville.

On September 7, 1956, county police disbanded a gathering of about 60 people at 10:30 p.m. assembled at Jefferson Street beside the county courthouse. The march was called in an attempt to spread the school boycott beyond Poolesville.

The white supremacists kept up picketing at the school through the week, but attendance began to rise and by Friday had reached 70 percent. School superintendent Edward Norris warned that school officials' patience with the protesters was wearing thin and that Maryland law may be used against the parents.

The law called for a $20 fine, a 30-day jail term or both for disturbing public school sessions. Another section carried a $50 fine for inducing or trying to induce absenteeism.

By September 12th, attendance at the school had reached 582 students or about 90 percent when normal absenteeism was accounted for.

The county announced that three road workers had been suspended 10 days without pay for participating in the protests during working hours.

The school board, which had been resisting any meeting with the segregationists, agreed to grant an audience to hear specific objections to the integration policy, but not a challenge to the overall plan.

Meanwhile at a meeting at the Poolesville town hall that evening, 100 adults met and agreed to send their children back to school while they organized private schooling for their children.

Severe had problems of his own. He was suspended from his job by NBC radio over his public role in the protests and had his contract for part-time work for the Voice of America terminated.

There were more meetings of the dwindling number of parents participating in the boycott where calls were made to challenge the integration in court, but the boycott and organized opposition had largely dissipated.

The die-hards views were adequately expressed by parent Katherine Mills who wrote a letter to the Washington Post published October 3, 1956. Some excerpts follow.

Mills began by explaining that the segregationists “bitterly resent the treatment received at the hands of school and county authorities.”

“We resent the fact that our elected county school board not only permits Negroes to enter white schools, but actually encourages them to enter white schools.”

“I have no doubt that in the minds of some people we are pictured as a bunch of poor, ignorant yokels who’ve been carefully taught by “outside agitators” to fear and hate racial integration.”

“As a matter of fact, we do fear and hate racial integration, but our fear stems from our knowledge of local Negroes…”

“Negro parents as a whole are not so careful as their white neighbors in looking after the cleanliness and health of their children. We do not favor the joint use of school washrooms by colored and white. We just don’t want to take risks of any kind with our children.”

“The marital habits of some of our Maryland Negroes are, to say the least, very casual. They are like the marital habits of the often-divorced white persons in northern café society.”

“Of course some colored couples don’t bother with divorce, because there was no actual marriage in the first place.”

“We believe the morals of our own race are lax enough as it is without exposing our children to an even more primitive view of sex habits. Furthermore, we abhor any steps that might encourage interracial mating.”

“Until the cultural gaps between them are completely filled in, the white and colored races should not be mixed in the public schools of Montgomery County.”

The exterior of St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco, CA, as seen from the north. The Cathedral has picked up a few nick-names: "Our Lady of Maytag" and "McGucken's Maytag", due to the resemblance of the roofline to a washing machine agitator. (Archbishop McGucken presided over the design and building of the Cathedral: the prior Cathedral [where the KRON-TV studios are now] had burned down [arson] only 5 months into his term as Archbishop...) Taken by a Voigtländer Bessa R4M with a Super-Wide Heliar 15mm ƒ 4.5 Aspherical II lens on Fujicolor Superia 400 film.

The odd roofline also has a surprising (for a Catholic church) effect, on certain days (of full sunshine) at certain times: the shadows on the roofline resemble human female breasts! (the poster has seen this, but not been able to get a photo...)

A line of police officers occupy the intersection of 14th and U Streets NW April 5, 1968 in an attempt to contain crowds who began looting and burning following the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr.

The city exploded in anger at the news and experienced among the greatest property damage of the more than 125 cities that erupted April 4-7, 1968 and set a then U.S. record for mass arrests when more than 6,100 were detained.

Twelve died, mostly due to becoming entrapped in burning buildings and over 1,100 were injured. Property damage was extensive in a number of corridors: 14th Street NW, 7th Street NW, U Street NW, H Street NE and Nichols Ave SE (later Martin Luther King Jr. Ave) were set afire. 1,200 buildings were burned.

Washington, D.C. had been simmering before King’s assassination.

Clarence J. Brooker was shot in the back on Minnesota Ave. NE May 7, 1967 sparking protests, including a sit-in at the District Building. On May 23, 1967, two youths were shot at a playground by a police officer that sparked another round of demonstrations.

A standoff with police began August 1, 1967 when lines of officers began moving a crowd back from a burning Salas furniture store at 1307 7th Street NW. Dozens threw rocks and bottles at police who responded in turn with billy clubs.

The outbreak occurred at about 12:30 am and lasted until about 3:00 a.m. resulting in 11 fires, 50 store windows broken and 34 arrests.

The disturbance area was confined to 7th Street between K and P NW and on 13th & 14th Streets NW near U Street—two areas that would be hit hard following King’s murder.

Dozens of other cities had already experienced widespread rebellion against authority including New York, Watts and Newark along with dozens of outbreaks in smaller cities..

In the immediate aftermath of King’s assassination, 125 cities across the country experienced a social breakdown.

In Washington, D.C. mainstream black leaders such as the appointed mayor Walter Washington and singer James Brown urged black people to contain their anger and leave the streets.

Some white leaders blamed “agitators” such as Maryland Senator Daniel Brewster who called for former SNCC leader Stokely Carmichael’s arrest after Carmichael held a press conference at SNCC headquarters in D.C. and also gave a speech at Howard University calling on black people to arm themselves.

The full text of Carmichael’s press conference is here: flic.kr/p/Rqtckc

Newspapers were filled quotes from residents both black and white decrying the burning and looting.

But the tens of thousands of black people who took part had a different point of view.

Reginald Booker, a black activist primarily known for his anti-freeway work, gave his thoughts in a May 1, 1968 hearing of the appointed city council at Eastern High School on Rehabilitation of District of Columbia Areas Damaged by Civil Disorders that was later incorporated into congressional testimony on the issue.

Booker started off calling the disturbances a “revolution” and defended the property destruction and looting.

“The burning, the devastation, you can call it riots, you can call it looting. I know what black people call it and I know what I call it.”

“Any time oppressed people are so denied, and so oppressed, and the channels of the so-called usual mechanisms of dealing with these ills, if they cannot solve the problems, then black people and all other people have the right to burn and bring destruction if that alleviates their misery.”

“Does it take burning? Does it take looting? Of course, I know the people who were looting, they were only taking back what was theirs all the time.”

“I know they were taking back what was theirs because when the rebellion broke out, I was right out there in the street with my people.”

“Now, a whole lot of those hypocritical white folks, they said, ‘well, look they even burned down some of their own people so it couldn’t have been racial. They were just out to steal something.’”

“How can you steal from a crook?”

“It was pointed out recently, for example, that Safeway, on the day that welfare recipients receive checks, raise their prices.”

“Recently the Washington Post ran a series of stories on certain credit merchants on 7th Street, on how they exploit black people. How can you buy a TV that is worth $50 and end up paying $300-plus for it, and then if you don’t make all the payments it is repossessed and the man sells it over about 10 times again?”

Press reports indicated that certain businesses were clearly targeted, including Safeway and so-called easy credit businesses.

Wicked -- "Born with green skin and huge teeth, like a dragon, the free-spirited Elphaba grows up to be an anti-totalitarian agitator, an animal-rights activist, a nun, then a nurse who tends the dying and, ultimately, the headstrong Wicked Witch of the West in the land of Oz. Maguire's strange and imaginative postmodernist fable uses L. Frank Baum's Wonderful Wizard of Oz as a springboard to create a tense realm inhabited by humans, talking animals (a rhino librarian, a goat physician), Munchkinlanders, dwarves and various tribes. The Wizard of Oz, emperor of this dystopian dictatorship, promotes Industrial Modern architecture and restricts animals' right to freedom of travel; his holy book is an ancient manuscript of magic that was clairvoyantly located by Madam Blavatsky 40 years earlier. Much of the narrative concerns Elphaba's troubled youth (she is raised by a giddy alcoholic mother and a hermitlike minister father who transmits to her his habits of loathing and self-hatred) and with her student years. Dorothy appears only near novel's end, as her house crash-lands on Elphaba's sister, the Wicked Witch of the East, in an accident that sets Elphaba on the trail of the girl from Kansas as well as the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman and the Lion and her fabulous new shoes." -- from www.amazon.com

I finally read this book after avoiding it for a long time. I thought it was just going to be a goofy parody of "The Wizard of Oz". Instead, I was surprised to find, it was an actual story in itself. I do wish that Maguire had spent more time describing the physical world of Oz and a little less time on the politically corrupt climate (i.e. "Geez! I get it already!! The Wizard's a tyrant! Move on with the story!"). There were quite a few little mysteries left unsolved at the end of the book but I get the feeling that "Son of a Witch" may solve some of those.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The Book of Imaginary Beings is Borges's whimsical compendium of more that a hundred of 'the strange creatures conceived down through history by the human imagination.'...Here readers will find the familiar and expected Dragons and Centaurs, Unicorns and Gnomes, as well as the less familiar and altogether unexpected Animals That Live in the Mirror, The Elphant That Prefigured the Birth of Buddha, the Hairy Beast of La Ferte-Bernard, and other undeniably curious creatures." (taken from the front flap of the book)

This was a really neat book. I actually read about this author in another book (Sheridan Hay's "The Secret of Lost Things") and when I spotted this book on the shelf at the store, I grabbed it. I was familiar with a lot of the creatures from mythology but it was interesting to learn about new and different (and some extremely odd) ones.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Son of a Witch -- "...author Gregory Maguire returns to the land of Oz and introduces us to Liir, an adolescent boy last seen hiding in the shadows of the castle after Dorothy did in the Witch. Bruised, comatose, and left for dead in a gully, Liir is shattered in spirit as well as in form. At the Cloister of Saint Glinda the silent novice Candle tends to him, willing him back to life with her unusual musical gifts. What dark force left Liir in this condition? Is he really Elphaba's son" He has her broom and her cape -- but what of her powers? Can he find his half-sister, Nor, last seen in the forbidding prison Southstairs" Can he fulfill the last wished of a dying princess? In an Oz that, since the Wizard's departure, is under new and dangerous management, can Liir keep his head down long enough to grow up?" (taken from the back cover of the book)

I'm about 100 pages into this book and so far, so good. This story is moving at a faster pace than Wicked did and now that I'm more familiar with Maguire's Oz (after reading Wicked) I can focus more on the story and I don't have to keep flipping to the Oz map to see where things are :)

Pyramid of the Sun, north of Mexico City, with model of site. What remains today is in remarkably good condition. Site is much larger and more complete than the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Unlike the temple site in Mexico City, now covered by the National Palace, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and hundreds of other buildings, the Conquisadors were never able to level these pyramids.

Spain has been out of Mexico for 200 years and has no resposibility for the current situation. The problem lies, as in many other countries, with a small group of "elite" politicians abetted by outside agitators with their own agenda.

"500 years of oppression. 500 years of resistance."

1968. 45 years ago. "Oliver" and "Funny Girl" were hits at the box office. "Respect" and "Grazin' in the Grass" were blaring out of every transistor radio. Mini-skirts and Nehru jackets were the style. The Chevy Impala was the nation's best-selling car; VW had 52% of the entire U.S. imported-car market.

And my parents, after five years of laundromat visits after our old Bendix Duomatic died, bought this Kenmore washer-dryer pair from the long-gone Sears at 63rd and Halsted. Sears, in those days, had everything, even motorboats in its famous "Wish Book"; in those pre-Wal-Mart days, it was where America shopped.

This washer-dryer combination has been extremely good to us; in all this time, the only time the washer conked out on us was in 1983, when it suddenly refused to go through the various parts of the cycles. The repairman diagnosed a transmission that was low on fluid. (Yes, washing machines have transmissions to govern the transition from fill to agitate to empty to rinse to spin.) He showed me how to fill it through the VERY tiny hole provided for that purpose, and the machine soldiered on for the next 30 years, until two weeks ago.

An unbent paper clip stuck down the hole diagnosed the problem: bony dry. A refill with a 1/4" tube with one end tapered and a tiny funnel on the other refilled it (it took about 6 ounces of a 12 oz bottle of trans stop-leak)

So now, it runs like a top again, ready for another 45 years, and possibly its own display at the Smithsonian, as a reminder of a time when large appliances were actually built to last, and to actually be repaired when they broke down.

Cosmic Ray Agitator

by Sir Charles Fitzgerald

(circa 1887)

In 1887 Sir Charles Fitzgerald was the secret weaponry develpor for Victoria, the queen of England. With his small team of scientists Sir Fitzgerald worked in utmost secrecy in his castle's dungeon laboratory. It was at that time he discovered how to agitate cosmic rays. The first item he disintegrated was an apple. The ray made it explode into dust.

Harnessing the newly found science, Sir Fitzgerald was able to incorporate it into the cosmic raygun pictured above. This gun was field tested in the battle of the Kyber Pass. The effects were totally devastating. Sir Fitzgerald realized what could happen if the world's arms manufacturers were to acquire his new found technology. For fear of that possibility the Cosmic Ray Agitator was returned to England and hidden deep within his castle's walls.

The Cosmic Ray Agitator was found and stolen in 1939 by agents of the Nazi party. However, Hitler's top scientists could not duplicate the secret liquid ingredient Sir Fitzgerald used in the vial on top of the raygun.

In 1946 the Cosmic Ray Agitator was found in West Berlin. The British government took possession of it. It's current whereabouts is unknown.

If you have any knowledge concerning the whereabouts of Fitzgerald's Cosmic Ray Agitator, please get in touch with Scotland Yard.

Note: G.P. - This is my first raygun.
