It appears we have a Rebel in the family. One interesting bit of trivia that recently came to light deals with my great great great grandfather, Samuel Carbis, and the Civil War. Although Samuel Carbis’ home alternated between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and St. Louis, Missouri, and at least two of his daughters married Union soldiers, he apparently had no love for the Union during the Civil War. Perhaps his occupation was disrupted by the war, or perhaps he was a little too much under the thumb of the Union army that strictly regulated riverboat traffic during the war. In any case, on May 30, 1865, just at the end of the war “Samuel Carbis, Mate of the Steamboat ‘Magenta’,” was arrested by the Union provost marshal in St. Louis.
The arrest certificate says that “...Carbis has been arrested on the charge of disloyal conduct and practices in refusing soldiers of the U.S. Army privileges on said steamer ‘Magenta’ and extending to Rebel soldiers privileges refused to said soldiers of the United States and in encouraging and permitting Rebels to use disloyal language on said steamboat, and has been discharged from imprisonment upon his Parole and this bond.”
As I said, this was at the end of the war, and the steamboat was undoubtedly transporting Confederate prisoners. It appears that Sam Carbis was either in sympathy with them, or disgruntled with the Union soldiers he had to deal with. As a result of his arrest he had to put up a bond of $5,000, to be forfeited if he violated the terms of his parole; namely “upon my word of honor, that I will remain within the limits of the County of St. Louis, Mo., and will daily report in person and for trial when called for, to the Provost Marshal General, Department of the Missouri, until further orders.” Five thousand dollars was a lot of money back then. But by keeping his nose clean he could wipe out the debt, yet any failure on his part could result in seizure of his home and property as outlined below.
“Now if the said Carbis shall carefully and truly observe all the terms and conditions of said Parole, abstain from all words or deeds tending to aid, encourage or promote the existing rebellion against the authority of the United States, or to disturb the existing Government of the State of Missouri; and shall not, directly or indirectly, furnish information, arms, money, provisions or any other commodity whatever to, or hold communication with, any person or persons engaged in hostilities against the Government of the United States or the State of Missouri, then this obligation is to be void. It is also to be in full force and it is hereby understood and agreed that in case said
Carbis shall be found guilty of violating the conditions of this obligation or said Parole by any military commission or tribunal, appointed under orders of the Commanding General to try such offenses, then any officer in the military service acting under orders from the Department Headquarters may seize and sell or otherwise dispose of any property of the above named obligators, to an amount sufficient to satisfy the amount above named.”
There is no further record of the outcome of his case. I assume he kept out of trouble and never came to trial.

The government launched a propaganda campaign in 1914 to recruit volunteers to supplement the regular armed forces and territorial units. The Daily Post campaigned for a Birmingham City Battalion of ‘non manual workers’. 4,500 men volunteered, and three Battalions of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment were formed, known as the ‘Birmingham Pals’.

This is a picture of the part of the bible where Jesus has been crucified. I prefer this image over "He is not here: for he is risen" because in this image you can't see the surrounding area.
Stay Hungry Bitch is a restaurant in the southern suburbs of Athens offering dishes based mainly on american street food. The client challenged us to create an identity, which could combine two different visual cultures from different decades.
The concept and design of the logotype was based on the American punk rock scene of the 70’s and 80’s, bearing the aesthetic elements of spontaneous writing from the walls of concert halls and the names of the bands themselves. The visual identity was reinforced by translating traditional American tattoo designs of Sailor Jerry into surrealistic collages, combining this way the surf culture of Hawaii with the equally intense punk element of the logo.

If I scan an embossed old photo, the scan can't present it's relief - so I photographed some of my 1870s embossed old cartes de visites and their backs.
Ha beszkennelem a régi domborított vizitkártyáimat, a scan nem tudja megmutatni a domborúságát. Ezért lefényképeztem néhány darabot (az 1870-es évekből).

Contrast the Problem of Relating Politics and Administration Today with Those in President Woodrow Wilson’s Essay: The Study of Administration
“Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem (Reagan, 1981).” This, now famous, expression appeared in President Ronald Reagan’s first inaugural address. The Calvinist antistatism sentiment found in this maxim reveals the passion surrounding the role of American government in our lives today, just as it did at the birth of our Constitution (Stillman, 2010, p. 17). Given these public attitudes, America’s geographic attributes and the propensity of the Constitution to define a “night watchman” (Stillman, 2010, p. 17) style of government: how does the administration of government (Stillman, 2010, p. 6) relate to the politics of government today contrast with those in President Woodrow Wilson’s essay, The Study of Administration?
President Wilson stated in this famous essay that government administration is a field of business divorced from the “hurry and strife of politics (Stillman, 2010, p. 10).” He thought that administration should be treated as a science and that it should “lie outside the proper sphere of politics (Stillman, 2010, p. 10).”
There were only five cabinet level departments established prior to Wilson’s 1887 essay and these essential bodies were still compatible with a minimal state promulgated by the founding fathers and their constituents (Garrett & Rhine, On the Size and Growth of Government, 2006). Today there are twenty entities with cabinet level rank (United States Government, 2011). The simple infrastructure required to run these additional bureaucracies would demand a faster pace and additional strife associated with the demands of networking. This growth in government is reflected in the cost of government.
A quantitative look at the expenses of government from 1792 through the year 2000 reveals a very inexpensive undertaking before 1913. Each resident of the United States paid an average of $85 a year (in year 2000 dollars) during this period to support his government (Garrett & Rhine, On the Size and Growth of Government - DATA, 2006). A linear plot of these per capita expenses in Figure 1 reveals a linear increase in government expenditure after 1913, the year in which the sixteenth amendment was passed removing obstacles to federal income taxation. The dawn of public administration may have started with the publication of Wilson’s essay but the funding for it appeared with the sixteenth amendment.
Successful executive directed bureaucracies are those that have either intrinsically visible outputs and outcomes or leadership that is committed to the politics and power of favorable visibility (Gormley & Balla, 2008, pp. 203-217). Shaping its public image is overlooked at the peril of the agency that ignores this political necessity.
A recent example of a government agency that lost control of its public relations and political image was the United States Coast Guard during the Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Although the Federal On-Site Coordinator, in the form of U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral Mary Landry, was responsible for disseminating cleanup information to the public, the preponderance of information came from British Petroleum and Transocean Ltd (Region 6 US EPA, 2004). These two parties had a financial interest in “cooking” the information in a self promotional manner. The result was a series of false statements that had a tone of official government endorsement. The question: who is in charge, was then asked by my friends and many “lazy” pundants. U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen replaced the Rear Admiral within two weeks of the disaster and began a very compelling interaction with news media and a visibly demanding attitude toward the companies responsible for financing the clean-up. Politically motivated communication was essential in this case and is desirable in most other circumstances including the case study of Los Angeles Street Services Bureau head, William Robertson (Stillman, 2010, pp. 87-94).
President Wilson states that the greater a man’s [administrative] power the less likely he is to abuse it and the less significant a man’s power the more likely he is to abuse it (Stillman, 2010, p. 12). This is contrary to the Calvinist assumption that all men in power are corruptible and that one of the greatest precautions against this abuse is a balance of power and oversight in the form of rules, regulations and “sunshine.” The Government in the Sunshine Act is a more recent attempt to make commission dealings more visible and less corruptible by opening meetings to interested parties from outside the government (Gormley & Balla, 2008, p. 13).
Although President Wilson has covered many issues in his essay that have proven to be true over time, two of his assertions on administration appear to be incongruent with current bureaucratic government operations. The first, that public administration and politics are and should be separated is shown to be a bad organizational strategy in today’s culture. Finally, the presumption that powerful administrators are less prone to corruption than their less empowered colleagues may be true, but is certainly not believed to be true in today’s culture.

The first of my 365 Day Project
Every day I'm writing a different piece and uploading them all here; with all the spelling mistakes, cross-outs, and terrible handwriting. I like to go back and fix them weeks after I write them, which I will probably start posting along with these, just so you can get a better look at my process as a writer. These will not be titled and these will not be dedicated to anyone, as this is a project primarily for myself. I hope you enjoy reading these and I hope some of my writing holds some truth for you. I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read these; it's so much more time-consuming that looking at a photograph, so I really am grateful for whoever reads any of these and feels my words in some way. So that is my goal here: to write something new each day to explore the depths of my own memories and the emotions attached to them, to get them out on paper as raw as I possibly can, and make you feel something unique to yourself. Enjoy!
Around the beginning of the year, I found a purple journal full of to-do lists. I knew it had been a full year since I used the journal because this was the very last list I found. These are names we collected when Bo and Kate came over on January 2nd, 2013. Kate was in town from LA and wanted to see our house. We were still at a loss for a name and I wanted some ideas from our family tree. Here they are in their unedited glory:
Littleberry Benjamin Watts
Truelove
Young Truelove
Marshall
Krause
Lewis Cyprus Marshall
John Chambers Davis
Peter John Avent
Thomas
Vickory
Matthaeus Krause (1720- Christina B Bohner)
Fiscus
Thomas Nicholas Marshall
Frey
Hammond
Conrad
Henry
Brinkle
Braudes
I typically link to the meaning of the names in these name collections, because for whatever reason that is important to me. But here I linked to where I could find them online. I got caught up in some of these links and this post has taken me a week. So I'm going with what I have at this point.
I learned some very interesting things, including my great-grandfather Matthaeus was married in the Great Wedding, which sounds a lot like my vague childhood memory of the Moonies. Bo says that he was one of four to scout the land for the Moravian settlement in Bethania, returned to Pennsylvania and returned with his wife.
Apparently Littleberry was known as "Little B." I really wanted to name a girl something that would allow me to call her Bea. So tonight I'm wondering if I missed my opportunity. We did know someone from UNC named Little and I adored that name.
I didn't have much time to ponder Little Armijo. As you see from the list, Oliver is not included. It was not even on my radar screen. But as we sat there talking and staring at ancestry.com, Bo suggested Oliver. Since Gray is my middle name and I found that it meant pleasant, I was happy to tack it on to most anything. I said something about Oliver Gray and I received a huge kick. He wasn't really that active yet, so it was his first BIG kick. I felt like this was the closest thing to help me pick the name. Being so close to Christmas, I was even envious that Mary was told to name her baby Jesus by an angel. I was THAT uncertain of what to name him. At the time, I wasn't a thousand percent sold, but I noticed that I stopped searching the Internet every night for names. It stuck. Granted I reserved the right to change his name on the baby sprinkle invitation.
I need to unearth another list of names that we discussed in Florida. I believe a few voices were raised over some of the names I scribbled down. Sadly I can't remember if that was for Lucy or Oliver.
More on Oliver's name later. Or should I say Little B.

La Maison du Prisonnier, une par chef lieu de département, est crée par le Commissariat au reclassement des prisonniers. Organisme vichyste du 2 septembre 1941 est confié à Maurice Pinot, un officier libéré, ancien collaborateur du président de la Confédération générale du patronat français.

Merci à franavia pour le document
La « Maison du prisonnier » était administrée par un ancien PG, ancien combattant de 1914-1918, Georges Lesage. Située rue Guilbert, elle comprenait, au rez-de-chaussée, un Comité central d'assistance aux PG, qui s'occupait principalement de la distribution de vivres pour la confection des colis individuels par des comités locaux. Huit mille colis par mois, entreposés rue des Cordeliers. Le directeur en était M. Corret, le secrétaire administratif, M. Watterwald.
Au premier étage, la Maison du prisonnier abritait le secrétariat du « Prisonnier libéré », dont l'objet principal était de renseigner les rapatriés, de les orienter et faciliter leurs démarches administratives ou juridiques. L'antenne de Caen était assurée par deux ex-PG, MM. Baudouin et Liévens, dont les compétences au service de ceux qui rentraient, dans des conditions parfois dramatiques, furent particulièrement précieuses.
Autre service particulièrement important : « La famille du prisonnier », organisme spécifique issu du Secours national dont l'objet était d'aider les épouses, les enfants ou les parents de PG. Elle était dirigée par Mme de Saint Germain, Mlle Morice, Mme Bladé.
La Maison du prisonnier abritait aussi la Croix-Rouge française. Cet organisme, vivant de ses propres ressources, ouvert aux familles des PG et aux rapatriés était animé par Mme de Vieil-Castel, Mlle Thomine-Desmazures.
Au second étage de la Maison du prisonnier se trouvait le secrétariat des Centres d'entraide, dirigé par M. Branquart, et la Direction générale.
Enfin, le Service du reclassement professionnel avait pour mission de régler le problème de la réintégration professionnelle. Problèmes délicats s'il en fut, en raison du manque de législation adaptée à l'époque.
MM. Schmitt et Blondel, de l'Inspection du Travail, dirigeaient ce service dont toutes les responsabilités, comme pour l'ensemble des autres services, étaient assumées par des rapatriés.
