It's Tax Time so no time for photos apart from this one of the pile of receipts and documents to go with the spreadsheets and manual calculations.
This whole process is torturous and a total pain in the butt....roll on tomorrow after this is all done and hopefully a few dollars returned by the end of the month.

I used the first 105 pages to draw out a 2011 calendar. As you can see, I numbered the odd pages. This week was pretty open so I still have plenty of room for tasks. Of course there are several tasks that I completed that I didn’t write down, but as they come to mind, it keeps me on track if I write them down.
"December 13, 1942
62nd day on Guadalcanal. Maytag came over last night. Our Navy had him perfectly in the lights. A.A. was close but did not get him. 20 men left by DC this morning. 45 more seats were empty but we didn't get the word. May tag dropped 4 eggs on new F4F strip. This morning, a bomb was found inside 3 P39's & a gas truck. 1 P38 was blown up when the starter was touched. Sabotage-that's bad! At 12:30, 14 fellows of 121 and myself left by DC-3 and landed in Santo, New Hebrides at 16:30. 600 mi. in 4 hrs. On trip to N.H. we saw a 3-ship U.S. convoy. We passed over Florida Islands and San Cristobal of the Solomons group. Ate chow at bomber strip.
December 14, 1942
Went to sick bay for blood test after chow. Went swimming in beautiful blue 75ft. deep lagoon. Hebrides is very beautiful but flies are awful. We came from bomber strip (17 mi. north) last night by truck. Joined many other boys here from our outfit. They have some victrolas here. Looked over the island and moved into 8 man with Leek, Barnes, Jones, Dean, Settle, Carr & Elliston. Went to show to see Remember the Day with Claudette Colbert & John Payne."

Manuscript title: Sermones Bernardi Claraevallensis abbatis
Manuscript summary: This manuscript contains 150 sermons by the Cistercian abbot Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153). The appearance of the script, in dark-brown ink, is mostly uniform. The title of the individual sermons have been written with red ink. 97v has been left blank. With regards to decoration, there are many decorative initials with runner- and bulb-motifs on a colorful background and numerous smaller initials, decorated usually in red and blue, occasionally with insular elements (59r, 67v). The manuscript was probably produced under Abbot Berchtold (1178-1197). (grd)

中国国家主席胡锦涛先生
全国人大常委会委员长吴邦国先生
国务院总理温家宝先生：
我是中华人民共和国公民，持有中华人民共和护照，户口居住地是上海市。今年4月1日合法出国来日本短暂休养，6月7日回国遭到上海浦东机场的警察的禁止入境，继而连续7次回国都遭非法阻止。更严重的是，2009年11月3日我第八次回国，我已回到上海浦东，在浦东国际机场宾馆住了一宿，第二天上海警察伙同日本全日空航空公司上海支店的职员动用暴力手段，将我强行拖上日本飞机，绑架至日本。因此，我拒绝入境日本，坚守一个中国人的尊严，至今已露宿日本国门外第54天。
我相信，您们已知道这起事件。现在全世界主要媒体都在报道，国内的网络也在传播，一个中国公民不能回国的悲哀故事。以前每次回国之前，我都向中国政府的相关部门告知，2009年9月1日致国家主席胡锦涛的信也转发给中共政治局常委。而且，《中国公民冯正虎第八次回国的公告》已写明：“如果上海浦东的边防警察再次拒绝我入境回国，强行“遣返”我回日本，这是给日本制造麻烦，最后日本政府会依据国际公约及中日法律强迫中国政府负起责任，必须接受本国公民。这个结局的发生是中国威信危机的开始，中国将蒙受最大耻辱，我作为一个中国人是不愿接受这种羞辱的，但我已别无选择。”
为什么我的一再劝告，这些当官的视而不见呢？或许他们除了自己的私利和乌纱帽之外，根本不顾国家的利益与声誉，也不尊重其他公民的权利，终于制造了一个中国公民八次被拒绝回国、露宿日本国门外54天的世界奇闻，让一个合法的中国公民遭受精神上的羞辱与身体上的折磨，让中国蒙受耻辱，给日本的入境审查处添加很大麻烦。现在，我已与美国好莱坞影片“The Terminal”（中文译名为“幸福终点站”）的维克多一样，已经适应在机场里的生活，等待回国。
我在这里只生活了一个多月，日本官员就没有耐心了。从12月3日起，每天发一个中日文的文件给我，还拍照为证。他们知道，这个文件发给我没有什么用处，或许是让我转交给中国政府。其实，我一回国，就不会妨碍他们工作了。现在很滑稽，日本的政府没有向中国政府或中国驻日大使馆提出抗议，而将日本官方的文件直接发给一个在日本国门外的中国公民，或许这是中日外交的新形式。一个中国公民五十几天露宿日本门外，中国政府漠不关心，中国驻日大使馆官员也不履行看望自己国民的责任，去沟通一个解决的方案。因此，日本政府对私下沟通已失去信心。
现在，我却暂时成了中国方的代表，接受日本政府部门的文件。与其是发给我，还不如说是发给中国政府。我收到一份，就会转呈中国政府。每天同一时间送达的日本政府部门文件，内容一样，仅是日期更改一下。我也按日本的要求，我致中国政府领导人的信件内容一样、日期改一下，并附上新日期的日本政府的部门文件。
今天转呈12月27日的日本官方文件，这是第25份。希望您们这些中国的最高领导人能关注，督促中国政府履行保护国民的责任，尽快结束我们中国人的国耻，让我回国，不要让日本政府为难了。
此致
敬意
中华人民共和国公民

自从您于11月4日到达成田机场后，由于没有提出入国申请，而一直停留在入境审查处。入境审查处是来日外国人进行入境审查的场所，所以您不能长期在此停留。
由于您的行动，妨碍了本支局正常的业务工作，本支局工作人员已多次对您进行了提出入境申请，从而离开入境审查处的劝告。
在此，再一次以文件的形式通知您，请您提出入境申请，离开入境审查处。

This Gospel Book, with richly painted evangelist portraits, canon tables and marginal illuminations, was made in Armenia in the early seventeenth century. An extensive colophon reveals that it was commissioned by a woman named Napat' as a memorial for herself and her family, and the book was consequently given by her to the Church of Saint Sargis in Amida. The illuminator of the manuscript, Hovannes, was one of the most prolific among the artists and scribes at the Amida scriptorium. On the present codex he worked with the scribe Melk'on. Known collaborators, Hovannes and Melk'on executed a number of codices together.

Title: Louisa May Alcott to Maggie Lukens [Page 2]
Creator/Contributor: Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)
Created/Published: Boston
Date created: 1884
Physical description: autographed letter signed
Summary: In this letter of sympathy written to friend Maggie Lukens after the death of Lukens' sister, Alcott reflects upon her own personal sadness at the loss of her sisters Beth and May:
“I know how hard it is to spare these dear sisters, having lost two, & how empty the world seems for a long time… Beth & May are always mine, though twenty five years have passed since we laid the poor shadow of one under the pines at Concord, & the dust of the other sleeps far away in Paris. Both are young, & bright, & live so always in my mind, for the pain & the parting, the years & sea are all as nothing, & I see them safe with Marmee waiting for the rest to come.”

Christopher Columbus Statue
In 1473, Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) embarked on his first maritime voyage from his home near Genoa, Italy headed for the island of Khios in the Aegean Sea. Upon his return in 1476, he traveled in a convoy destined for England. Legend has it that pirates sunk Columbus's ship near the coast of Portugal. Columbus swam to shore and settled in Lisbon, where his brother Bartholomew worked as a cartographer.
Based on speculative maps, Columbus concluded that there was a quicker route to the markets of Asia than was yet known. Instead of heading south and circumnavigating Africa, Columbus proposed to sail west. In the 1480s, Columbus presented this proposal to the monarchs of Portugal and Spain. In April 1492, King Ferdinand V and Queen Isabella of Spain agreed to sponsor Columbus's proposed voyage. On August 3, 1492, the three modest ships that comprised Columbus's party, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, set sail. They sighted land on October 12, 1492. The ships landed on Guanahani, an island in the Bahamas. Columbus claimed the land for the King of Spain and renamed the island San Salvador. Believing he had reached the West Indies, Columbus called the natives "los Indios," or Indians. The members of the expedition returned to Spain triumphantly on March 15, 1493. After receiving a title of nobility, Christopher Columbus immediately launched a larger expedition. On November 3, 1493, this fleet of 17 ships anchored near present day Puerto Rico. His third and fourth voyages set sail in 1498 and 1502.
Columbus's early descriptions of the Americas, as in his "The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus (1828) documented Columbus"s story. Focusing largely on his arrival in the Americas as opposed to the colonization of the area, Irving and others enshrined Columbus as a hero. His popular reputation ever after became that of the bold, courageous adventurer who enabled American civilization, and he is memorialized here and elsewhere as such.
About ten thousand people, including Italian, Spanish, and American dignitaries, gathered in Columbus Circle on October 12, 1892, the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Columbus in the "New World." Together they dedicated the Columbus Monument, designed by Sicilian sculptor Gaetano Russo and donated to the City of New York by the Italian-American community. Gen. L.P. di Cesnola, the Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, spoke at the event, telling the audience that Columbus's "true monument is this great land, its institutions, its prosperity, its blessing, its lessons of advance for all humanity."
The monument consists of a statue of Columbus posed on a column mounted on a base surrounded by fountains; an allegorical figure depicting the Genius of Discovery stands on the base. Both Columbus and the latter figure are carved of Carrara marble. Bronze elements include two bas-reliefs portraying Columbus's journey, as well as an American bald eagle and lotus-shaped cresting. In addition, bronze ships' prows and anchors adorn the granite column. The total height of the plinth, pedestal, column and sculpture is 77 feet, enabling passerby to see the monument from miles away on a clear day.
Early in the 20th century, the monument was fortified with complex supports engineered for the new subway system to be tunneled beneath it. A lavish wrought-iron fence was installed encircling the monument. In 1965, the installation of fountains and illumination with funds from book publisher and philanthropist George T. Delacorte (1894-1991) enhanced the site. The fountains, designed by Douglas Leigh, were inspired by water displays in Rome. In 1990 and 1991, the monument underwent an extensive renovation funded by the Columbus Citizens Foundation, under the auspices of the Adopt-A-Monument Program, a joint venture of Parks, the Municipal Art Society, and the New York City Art Commission. George Delacorte and Arthur Ross donated additional funds for the restoration of the decorative fence. The Central Park Conservancy, through an endowment established by Mr. Delacorte's heirs, will continue to maintain the monument in the future.

This early fourteenth century English manuscript is an example of Henri de Gauchy’s French translation of De regimine principum. Giles of Rome first composed the text in Latin for Philip of the Fair around 1277, and it was soon translated into several vernacular languages. Henri de Gauchy’s was the most prolifically copied of the French translations, and remains extant in thirty-one copies, only six of which are of English origin. The quality of the illumination in Walters 144 suggests that this book was destined for a king or member of the nobility, though it has no evidence of ownership prior to 1463. The text is divided into three books, intended to instruct princes on his ethical, economical and political responsibilities: the conduct of the individual, the rule of the family and household, and the governance of the kingdom. Scenes of princes and scholars conversing, and princes instructing their subjects are among the ten miniatures and historiated initials. The book is a member of the Queen Mary Psalter group (BL Royal 2 B VII).
