This is another fascinating piece of police history – from 111 years ago.
Why this composite photograph of the Ross & Cromarty Constabulary was made I n1902 is unclear. I certainly cannot see that it reflected any significant anniversary on the part of Chief Constabulary Malcolm MacAulay or his Deputy, Superintendent Kenneth Cameron.
1902 was of course the Coronation Year of King Edward VII, and perhaps a fitting occasion to record the force. The Chief, the Deputy, Supt Smith and Insp MacDonald are all wearing Imperial Crowns on their hats – everybody else still has the Victorian crown on their hats and uniforms.
Mr MacAulay had of course previously served in Inverness-shire Constabulary, latterly as Deputy Chief, until his appointment in 1898 as Chief Constable of Ross and Cromarty. In 1901 his old force had produced a similar composite photograph (which had taken 3 years to complete) to present to Chief constable Alexander McHardy – possibly to commemorate his 35 years as Chief Constable (1866-1882 of Sutherlandshire, 1882-1901 of Inverness-shire).
It is possible that Mr MacAulay liked the idea and simply arranged for something similar for his own force. Plagiarism can happen in the police service!
Anyway, whatever the reason, it is a wonderful slice of social history – showing all members of the force as it was in 1902. It does NOT include two (1 resigned, 1 dismissed) of the 3 officers who left during 1902 but it does show the one who retired on pension in August (PC Murdoch MacKay), along with 6 out of the 7 officers who joined up during 1902 (they were taken on in January, February or April). The 7th , also taken on in February was summarily dismissed by Mr MacAulay the following month (reason not stated!)
So in 1902 the Force comprised 54 men:
1 x Chief Constable (Malcolm MacAulay, who would sadly die in 1905, aged only 44
2 x Supt (Kenneth Cameron, Deputy Chief in Dingwall and Hector Smith in charge of Lewis)
2 x Inspectors
6 x Sergeants
45 x Constables
Elsewhere on Flickr I have written of the careers of Messrs MacAulay and Cameron, so let’s have a wee update on the other Superintendent, and the Inspectors and Sergeants.
Supt HECTOR SMITH was a native of Lochs on the Island of Lewis, and began his police career in the city of Glasgow Police. After 3 years and 8 months there, he transferred to Ross-shire, joining on 7th June 1872, when he would pass his first six months at Dingwall. Thereafter he spent another half-year at Evanton before rerunning to Dingwall in July 1873. He was promoted to Sergeant in November 1884 at which time he moved to Stornoway, and was promoted in situ to Superintendent in September 1888. He remained in Stornoway until he retired on pension on 5th July 1907, aged 60.
Insp MALCOLM MACDONALD was another “transferee”. He served in Glasgow City Police for 4 years and 4 months before joining Ross-shire on 22 August 1876. Also a native of Lewis (Breasclete) his career was unusual in that (1) he never served at Dingwall and (2) he never served on Lewis. He was immediately posted to Tain and served almost ten years as a Constable before being promoted to Invergordon as Sergeant in January 1886. After another ten years there he went back to Tain, on promotion to Inspector, in May 1896. He remained at Tain until he retired on 12th May 1914, aged 63 and with 42 years police service.
Det Insp JOHN ROSS worked as a Carpenter until he joined the Ross-shire force on 28 January 1888. After service at Stornoway, he transferred to Milntown ( now Milton, Kildary) in 1890 and then to Dingwall in 1892. where he was promoted to Sergeant in 1898, and then Inspector in 1901. In 1907 he was promoted again, to Superintendent as moved to Stornoway to take charge of the Lewis Division upon the retiral of Supt Smith., Then in July 1915, when Supt Cameron retired, John Ross returned to Dingwall to take over as Deputy Chief Constable. He was awarded the MBE in 1927 and retired on pension July 1834, aged 67 and with 46 years police service.
As for the six Sergeants, well two of them are listed on the photo as “Sergeant MacIver” – and you would have thought it would have been handy to identify them better, by stating their forenames. Well, that really would not have helped – both were JOHN MACIVER. This was a problem which arose many a time in Highland Police forces, where two (or more) members of the force bore the same name. Sometimes, helpfully they might have a middle initial to assist, but not always. So they, and the others, were recorded as (No. 1) or (No.2) after their name in the Personnel Register. That obviously helped – provided folk knew which one was which, of course! I do not, so all I can tell you is that both came from Lochganvich in the Lochs area of Lewis. JOHN (No. 1) joined first, (obviously!) in 1875, was promoted in 1888 and in 1902 was stationed at Barvas on Lewis. John (No. 2) joined in 1880, was promoted in 1893 and in 1902 was based at Kyle of Lochalsh. He (No. 2) moved from Barvas in May 1901, where he was replaced as Sergeant by none other than (No. 1). That must have caused a wee bit of confusion locally. Those were their final postings, and, No. 1 retired in 1907, while No. 2 took his pension in 1914.
The other two “same-name” Sergeants are SERGEANT MACKAY – but this time it is possible to separate them, albeit not identify which is which in the photo.
One is ALEXANDER MACKAY, who was promoted in 1899 and in 1902 was at Fortrose. And the other is DONALD MACKAY, promoted 1896 and in 1902 stationed at Invergordon
The other two Sergeants are:
Sgt ROBERT ALEXANDER who had been promoted Sgt at Stornoway, and was still there in 1902. In 1914 he was promoted to Inspector at Tain. The following year he returned to Stornoway, but now as Superintendent.
Sgt JOSEPH ALLAN – had been promoted to Sgt in 1889 and in 1902 was at Cromarty
The Constables – again “same names” include 2 x J MacDonald. BOTH are JOHN, and to compound the matter Mr MacAulay took on ANOTHER John Macdonald in 1903 – resulting in an entry for (No. 3). Intriguingly, while there’s also a record for (No.1), the SECOND John Macdonald is just entered as John MacDonald!
It took me long enough to sort things out using a database and spreadsheet – it must have been fun trying to keep records with just pen and paper in these good old days 111 years ago.
CARDEN DNA PROJECT
Fifth Report - May 2003
The use of DNA for genealogy relies on the fact that the portion called the Y-chromosome is passed unaltered from father to son over very many generations, except for the rare occurrence of a mutation affecting one element (called a marker).
For explanations, see, for instance
freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~allpoms/genetics.html
www.familytreedna.com/facts_genes.asp
For the Carden DNA Project nearly 40 Y-chromosome analysis results have now been received, including those of the first six participants which were covered in my report dated January 2002.The first 25 were analysed by Oxford Ancestors in England, but we are now using FTDNA of Texas, through whom analysis is carried out by the University of Arizona.
This latest report omits most of the explanations given in earlier reports. I will be happy to repeat them, and also go into much greater detail about the technique, probability calculations, family trees of the participants, more detail about origins of the family and so on, on request.If anyone else would like to take part, please contact me.
Many thanks are again due to Trish and Ron for kindly publishing this report on their sites -

Arthur Carden.30th May 2003
Carden Origins
For some years I have thought, without much foundation, that all Cardens world-wide (apart from a few whose ancestors changed their surname to Carden from some other name) descend from one of three common ancestors, and thus are part of three unrelated groups with origins as follows.
Cheshire Origin
The Carden name appears in Cheshire from the 13th century onwards. Ormerod, the famous Cheshire historian, states “at some point before the reign of Henry II (i.e., before 1216) a family assumed the local name Carden.”
Essex Origin.
The Domesday Book shows that in 1086 a William Cardon was working for Geoffrey de Mandeville, one of the many followers of William the Conqueror who were given confiscated land.
Mayo/Sligo Group.
Many Cardens can trace their origins to these Irish west coast counties.
An objective of the CARDEN DNA PROJECT is to show whether most Cardens are indeed members of one of these three groups, and whether the three groups are distinct or connected to one another.It has already gone a long way to achieving this objective.
Results so far
What appears here is a highly simplified summary.The actual numbers for each individual appear in a table at the end of this document.
Cheshire Haplogroup
About half of all the nearly 40 results received so far (mostly 10 or 12 marker tests) are identical, and those concerned undoubtedly have a common ancestor.I call this identical DNA signature the Cheshire Haplotype because several of the individuals concerned are known to have very early Cheshire origins.Many of the remainder differ by only one or two mutations, and clearly also come from Cheshire.Probability calculations suggest that they all had a common ancestor in about the year 1500 plus or minus a century or more.
Five of these identical results are 25-marker tests.Compared with these another five 25-marker tests exhibit mutations.This is splendid – the five identical ones define the Cheshire haplotype as far as the additional markers are concerned, and the five with mutations may in due course help to establish family groupings.
Mayo/Sligo Group
It is remarkable that the signatures of two of the participants from Mayo/Sligo only differ by two mutations from the Cheshire haplotype.This implies that the Mayo/Sligo Cardens may also have a Cheshire ancestor.The earliest record of Cardens in Co Sligo is dated 1617, well before a Carden emigrated from Cheshire to Tipperary about 1665.It is possible that their ancestor emigrated separately from England in earlier years, perhaps in Norman or Elizabethan times.However the other two participants from Mayo/Sligo do not support this theory.
East Kent Haplogroup
Two results (both from the original six) define the totally different East Kent Haplotype.They come from Ron and Bill, who both live in Kent, England.Bill’s was a welcome surprise, as it was previously only guessed that his great grandfather, Sergeant George Carden, born 1818 in France, had Kent ancestors.Their common ancestor lived before 1700 and probably before 1450.
Individual Participants and Family Groups
An attempt is made below to comment on the DNA signature of each individual participant.Comments and corrections will be most welcome.
Matlock Group
Observant readers will see that I have now transferred Tom Carding to the Matlock Group from the Tipperary Group, although there is no proof that he descends from Samuel, the common ancestor of the other four.Both he and Jim have had 25-marker tests made, with identical results, so that there is a 50/50 chance they have a common ancestor within 7 generations.We do not yet have a 25-marker test for a Tipperary Carden, unfortunately.
Apart from Tom, the signatures of three of the group exactly match the Cheshire haplotype, so not only is it clear that the Matlock group has Cheshire origins, but that their common ancestor Samuel must have had the same signature.Samuel Carden or Carding was born about 1650 in Matlock.Michael’s has two mutations.
The Carden, Cardin and Carding names were all used by members of this group, changing back and forth over the years.
Cecil Carding of New Zealand is the “senior” member of the group, being descended from Samuel’s elder son.
Jim Carden lives in Stalybridge, England.James (“Jim”) has obtained a 25-marker result, which exactly matches the results for four of the others who have obtained such results, helping to confirm the 25-marker Cheshire haplotypeHe has his own very interesting web site at .
John Carden, by coincidence, also used to live in Stalybridge, but has recently moved to France. His descent from Samuel seems highly probable, but his earliest proven ancestor is Solomon Cardin/Carding who married in Manchester in 1841.However his DNA signature helps to prove the link to Samuel.
Michael Carding and his wife Marrion live in Chesterfield, England.He is the odd one out. All the other Matlock Cardens match the Cheshire haplotype exactly (whether over 10 markers or 25).Michael previously showed one mutation, and now that he has obtained a 25-marker result shows two!It appears that the first mutation (at DYS 393) must have occurred at one of the five transmissions between himself and Michael born 1787, his earliest common ancestor with John.The other mutation (at DYS 464d) must have been at one of the eight transmissions between himself and Samuel born 1681.If John decides to have a 25-marker test done, he will also presumably be found to possess this second mutation, as it would be remarkable for both of Michael's mutations to have occurred since his line split from John's.
Tom Carding (Frank Tomas Carding) lives in Cheshire.His son Michael, head teacher of the local secondary school, was very helpful as regards the Carden Gathering in 1998.There is a delightful tradition in his family that a scoundrel named Captain John Carden from Tipperary eloped with the unfortunate Miss Mary de Warren about 1750 and soon deserted her and her infant son John, who used the name Carding rather than Carden. The family still treasures the scoundrel’s sword.Since Tom had an identical 10-marker signature to Peter, of the Tipperary group below this appeared to suggest that the scoundrel came from Peter’s branch of the family, and might even have been the same as the Major John Carden who eloped in 1772 with a Miss Sarah Surman.But there is evidence that Miss Mary de Warren actually married a John Carding from the next village, so it is equally likely that Tom’s ancestry comes more directly from Cheshire, without having anything to do with Tipperary.Now that Tom has had a 25-marker test done, which matches Jim (of Matlock’s) signature exactly, this and the name “Carding” makes a connection with the Matlock group more likely than one with the Tipperary group.
Tipperary Group
A John Carden emigrated to Tipperary, probably directly from Cheshire, in the 17th century.He is known to some of us as the patriarch.His date of birth is not known, but is likely to have been in the first half of the 17th century as his sons were married in Tipperary in 1672 and 1673.He must have had the same DNA signature as Peter O’N Carden, whose ancestry has been traced on paper back to the patriarch over 8 generations, as otherwise Peter would not have exactly fitted the Cheshire Carden haplotype.
Results have been received from five Tipperary Cardens, as follows:
Arnold Carden lives in Argentina.He and Arthur and Michael J (see below), all members of the Barnane branch of the family, have identical signatures to each other.These signatures, surprisingly, differ from the Cheshire haplotype and therefore from their “paper” ancestor, the patriarch, by six mutations, far too many for biological descent from the patriarch.It is therefore certain that somewhere between the patriarch and the common ancestor of Arnold, Arthur and Michael J there was a “non-paternal event.”This common ancestor was John Carden, born 1699, great grandson of the patriarch.He was an only child and there is some evidence that he himself was the child of a certain John Barry, so perhaps it is the Barry DNA signature which we carry.Arnold’s and Arthur’s common ancestor was born as recently as 1818, but the Michael J’s result greatly helped by taking the birth of the common ancestor back to 1699.
Arthur Carden, the organiser of this study, and of the 1998 Carden Gathering, lives near London.See Arnold above.
Michael J Carden is a member of the Barnane-in-Australia branch and lives near Canberra.The identity of his DNA signature to that of Arnold and Arthur proves that the branch is correctly named – proof of the connection to Barnane did not previously exist, though there were strong indications.His participation (paid for jointly by Arthur and his brother Michael) has therefore been doubly useful.
Dr Peter O’Neil Carden lives in NSW, Australia.He is a member of the Killard branch of the family, descended from the younger son of the patriarch.As mentioned above, Peter’s signature is identical to the Cheshire Haplotype, which proves that the patriarch’s signature was the same.Peter is interested in probability theory and has made some contributions to the understanding of DNA links and mutations.
Richard A P Carden lives in Norfolk.He will be remembered by many who attended the Carden Gathering in Cheshire in 1998 for his financial management and administration of the event, as well as for his cheerfulness.He is a member of the Fishmoyne branch, descended from a younger grandson of the patriarch than is the Barnane branch.His signature differs by two mutations from that of the patriarch.There is a “reasonable” chance of about 1 in 20 of this happening in 10 generations, so a non-parental event need not have occurred in his case.
Penshurst / Chiddingstone Cardens
It is likely that the Cardens of Penshurst and Chiddingstone, Kent (villages near Tonbridge), are descended from the John Carden of Tilston, Cheshire, mentioned under Brighton below.This idea is supported to some degree by the results for two participants –
Mike Carden (Michael J), of Cumbria, exhibits two mutations (counting a double-jump as one mutation in accordance with advice from Oxford Ancestors) from the Cheshire haplotype.There is better chance that he has a common ancestor with those with exact matches to that haplotype than quoted for Richard A P above since many more generations may have elapsed. Mike is a member of the Maidstone sub-branch.
Roger Carden of London, a member of the Loraine sub-branch, shares one mutation with Mike, but otherwise fits the Cheshire haplotype exactly. This suggests that their common ancestor, William Carden of Penshurst, born 1760, had the same signature as Roger, and Mike’s second mutation occurred in the six subsequent generations.
Brighton Cardens
There is good evidence, found by Joan Carden of Spain, that the Cardens of Brighton are descended from a Richard Carden born in Cheshire in about 1500.He became Dean of Chichester and paid for the 16th century stained glass window in Tilston church in Cheshire which shows the sling and pheon which form part of the Carden coat of arms.
However the two results obtained for Cardens in Brighton, though identical to each other, are utterly different from the Cheshire haplotype.They were provided by -
Donald Carden, who lives in Luton and is a member of the “Hatter” branch of the Brighton Cardens which included Sir Herbert Carden, known as the “father of modern Brighton.” and
David Carden, who lives in Brighton, and is Town Clerk of a neighbouring town.His result and that of Donald are so far removed from the other results, despite their Cheshire link, that a non-paternal event in their ancestry, perhaps many generations ago, is virtually certain.David’s branch of the Brighton family is known as the “Virgo” branch.He and Donald have a common ancestor in Robert Carden, born 1787, one of whose sons (Samuel Virgo Carden, born 1815) started David’s “Virgo” branch of the Cardens of Brighton, and another (John, born 1821) started Donald’s “Hatter” branch.So the non-paternal event occurred in 1787 or before.
Another possible explanation however might be that Donald’s and David’s are examples ofthe “true” Cheshire signature of a very early Cheshire Carden, and the non-paternal event took place between this early Cheshire Carden and the common ancestor of all the others.I am indebted to Joan Carden for this suggestion.
Other UK Cardens close to the Cheshire Carden haplotype
Ernest Carden, who lives in Cheshire and is a member of the Winsford branch, almost certainly has Cheshire ancestors.This is supported by his DNA result, which shows only one mutation from the Cheshire haplotype, even over 25 markers
Peter L Cardenlives in Australia and is a member of the Randle branch, descended from a William Carden whose son Randle Carden was born about 1830 in the old county of Flint, just over the border from Cheshire.His daughter Natalie persuaded him to participate.His signature also exhibits one mutation from the Cheshire Carden haplotype so it is confirmed that his branch is a Cheshire one.This mutation is the same as that of Scott, below.
Peter W Cardenlives near Liverpool.His sister Hazel Poole has been trying for many years to trace their ancestor, a soldier, whose son was born in Halifax about 1847.Since Peter’s signature is three mutations away from the Cheshire haplotype, his Cheshire origin is somewhat doubtful.
Tony Carden (Dr A B G Carden) of Melbourne, Australia is a member of the Bendigo branch, the origins of which have been traced back to a town in Shropshire, just over the border from Cheshire and only a few miles from the hamlet of Carden.As perhaps might be expected, he has a DNA signature identical to the Cheshire haplotype.
Lincolnshire Cardens
Only one Lincolnshire Carden is a participant so far.
Stephen Carden, who lives in Spain not far from Joan Carden, has a DNA signature totally different from both the Cheshire haplotype and the East Kent haplotype.Therefore, either there is a non-paternal event in his ancestry, or the Lincolnshire Cardens have their own unique origin.
Cardens of Virginia, USA
Chris, Chuck, James E (rather surprisingly, see below), Judson and Raymond (12 markers), and Eddie (25 markers) all have DNA signatures identical to the Cheshire haplotype So does Greg (25 markers), though his VA roots are unproven.It seems clear that they are all directly descended from Cheshire ancestors, perhaps from a single immigrant.
Chris Carden and his sister Beth Macdonald, together with Chuck below, have traced their ancestry firmly to Robert Carden who died in Goochland County, Virginia in 1785, and possibly, three further generations back, to a passenger from England aboard the “Speedwell.”Beth writes:“Chuck’s and our ancestry probably converge back with my Robert James Carden (c.1702 VA) and Phyllis Woolbanks, whom Chuck lists as Robert [above].That particular Robert is a huge mystery and is not proven for Chris and me.”,
Chuck Carden (Charles W Carden), see above, is a retired Marine and Chief of Police who came to the Carden Gathering in Cheshire in 1998, and is soon to move to Cape Cod from Colorado.
Eddie Carden (Edward Glen) lives in Virginia but was born in Tennessee. His 25-marker result matches the Cheshire Haplotype exactly.His earliest proven ancestor is John Cardin of Mecklenberg Couny Virginia, the father of Reubin Carden born about 1775.
Greg Carden lives in Alabama.His Virginia ancestry is not proven, though there are sufficient indications for him to be included, at least for the time being, in this group. He and Eddie are the only members of this group, so far, to have obtained a 25-marker result. (Greg’s mother):
James E (Eugene) Carden writes:“I am African American and have never met another "Black" Carden except for my immediate family until about 2 years ago when I visited Halifax County (Scottsburg) Virginia. I think this is where my Great Grandfather, James H. Carden was born.”
Judson Wayne Carden lives in Alabama.His third cousin Elisa Sanford persuaded him to submit a sample.His earliest proven ancestor is Leonard Carden, born about 1793 in Virginia. (Elisa)
Raymond Bell’s grandfather changed his name from Cardin to Bell for no apparent reason.His daughter Linda Tieman has traced his ancestry back to Leonard Carden, born about 1785 in Virginia.Raymond lives in Georgia, and his daughter in Texas.
(Linda Tiemann)
Cardens of North Carolina, USA
Richard below have DNA signatures identical to the Cheshire haplotype, and undoubtedly share ancestors in Cheshire with all those with similar signatures.Greg, above, and Scott are the only members of the Virginia and North Carolina groups to have obtained 25-marker results so farIt is hoped that others will do so to clarify the relationships.
Richard J Carden lives in Michigan.His oldest known ancestor is William Carden who was born in 1755 in Orange County, North Carolina and who died in 1824 in Jasper County Georgia. As mentioned above, his 10-marker signature matches the Cheshire haplotype exactly
Scott Carden.Carol Scarlett, a keen family researcher who came to the Carden Gathering in Cheshire in 1998, traced her distant cousin Scott and persuaded him to submit a sample. His great great grandfather was George Carden born in Orange County, North Carolina in 1828. A 25-marker result has recently been obtained for Scott. One of his original Oxford Ancestors results (not analysed by FTDNA) matches that of Peter L of the Randle branch below.It is not yet clear whether this is a mutation or part of the Cheshire haplotype, but suggests that Scott and Peter L have a common ancestor.A definite mutation in the last of his 25-marker results matches that of Jim of Matlock above, once again suggesting a common ancestor.Neither of these casts any doubt on his Cheshire origin, but they suggest he and Richard J may descend from different immigrants. (Carol Scarlett)
Thor Carden (Thor Foy Carden) and his wife Tricia Swallows Carden live in Tennessee, where Thor is Administrator of the Family Christian Academy.Trish kindly publishes this report on her web site.They have traced Thor’s ancestry to a John Carden who was born about 1776 and died in 1847 in Orange County, North Carolina.Thor’s DNA signature differs from the Cheshire Haplotype by two mutations, so there is only a “reasonable” possibility that he shares an ancestor with others who match more closely. Thor suspects that his father’s exposure to radiation while working on radar during the war might be the reason for these mutations.He has traced a third cousin, Robert L. Carden, who has agreed to submit a sample, the analysis of which will be extremely interesting in this context.
Other Cardens in USA
Bill Carden (William Andrew) lives in Tennessee.His wife Rosemarie has persuaded Bill to submit a sample to help identify his Carden origins.It is identical with the Cheshire Haplotype over all 25 markers, so undoubtedly he has a Cheshire ancestor. Bill’s earliest proven ancestor, Ansel Carden, was also from Tennessee, but if Rosemarie is able to go further back it may be appropriate to include him in one of the groups above.
Jerry Carden (Jerry Alan Carden) who lives in Illinois, traces his ancestry to a William Carden, born in Yorkshire, England in 1795. William and his wife came to the US in 1819.His DNA signature exactly matches the Cheshire Haplotype, so undoubtedly he shares an ancestor in Cheshire around 1500 with all those who have the same DNA signature.He has recently obtained a 25-marker result, showing two unique mutations, which may one day enable a link to others in England to be proven.
Leo Carden (Robert Leo Carden) was born in Oklahoma, and before retirement was a teacher and then for many years Director of a Technology Center.His relative Carrie Bench has traced their ancestry to William Carden, born about 1755 in Georgia.The first three known generations lived in Georgia and the next three in Alabama.
Mayo-Sligo Group
As mentioned above, it is remarkable that the signatures of two participants from Co Sligo are close to the Cheshire Haplotype, despite the fact that Cardens were to be found in these west coast Irish counties as early as 1617, well before a Carden emigrated from Cheshire to Tipperary about 1665 (and before Cromwell banished his opponents to the western counties).Presumably their ancestor emigrated separately from England in earlier years, perhaps in Norman or Elizabethan times.
Two other participants have rather different signatures, which tends to reduce the force of the above.
Gerard Carden, who lives in Glasgow, Scotland, has traced his ancestry to Mathew Carden, whose son Patrick was married in Co Sligo in 1880.His DNA signature is identical to the Cheshire haplotype as regards 9 out of the 10 markers analysed by Oxford Ancestors, but shows a triple-jump in the remaining one, which they regard as two mutations.This suggests a common ancestor with those possessing the exact Cheshire haplotype about 20 or 30 generations ago, which means this ancestor might have lived in about 1400, presumably in Cheshire
Owen Carden, who lives in Leeds, England, was persuaded by his nephew Des Curley of Co Sligo, to submit a sample for analysis.This turned out to be identical to Gerard’s, which is not surprising, as they are related.
Fred Carden of Pennsylvania, who traces his ancestry to Killala, Co Mayo, has a DNA signature which differs at four points from the Cheshire haplotype, which would normally be enough to deny a common ancestor in the past millennium.However one of them is in the same marker as the mutation possessed by Gerard and Owen, but the remaining three are probably enough to deny a relationship.Fred has ordered a 25-marker analysis, which will be very interesting, especially if other Mayo/Sligo Cardens do so too.
Terry (Terrence S) Carden of Arizona, a retired physician who traces his ancestry to Ballina, Co Mayo, differs at three points from the Cheshire haplotype, one of which is the same as Gerald, Owen and Fred’s and the other two the same as Fred’s.Terry therefore almost certainly has a common ancestor with Fred.Terry, incidentally, has kindly digitised many hundreds of Mayo parish register entries obtained by Arthur, and will send copies on request.
Fred has ordered a 25-marker test, and if some of the others do so too, and/or some more results from Mayo/Sligo participants are received. perhaps this rather complex situation will be clarified.
East Kent Haplogroup
Two results (both from the original six) define the totally different East Kent haplogroup.It is possible that this group is descended from the Cardon mentioned in the Domesday Book, but that is pure speculation.It is interesting that only these two, out of the 25 or more Cardens who have submitted samples, belong to this group, the remainder almost all belonging to the Cheshire group.If it were not for the similarity of Ron’s and Bill’s results it might have been supposed that a non-paternal event in their ancestry prevented them from matching the Cheshire haplotype (like for instance, Donald and David of Brighton).
Ron Carden (Ronald George) lives in Ashford, Kent.He is a keen genealogist and studies Cardens throughout East Kent.He has traced his ancestry convincingly to Thomas Carden, born in Herne, Kent in 1734.Joan Carden of Spain, who belongs to this family, has carried the pedigree back to John Carden of Sheppey, Kent, born 1450.
Bill Carden (William George) lives in Faversham, Kent.He shared the cost of his DNA analysis with his cousin Ian who lives in New Zealand.The result was virtually identical to Ron’s, which was a welcome surprise, as it was previously only guessed that his great grandfather, Sergeant George Carden, born 1818 in France, had Kent ancestors.Subsequent research suggests that the latter’s father was born in Littlebourne, Kent and fought at the battle of Waterloo.
Surname Variants
DNA analysis may make it possible to shown whether or not names such as Carwardine, Calladine, Kerwin, Kenderdine and so on are indeed variants of the Cawarden name, which changed to Carden in Cheshire.So far only one individual has come forward.
Taylor Cowardin traces his ancestry to Peter Carwardine who came to Maryland from England in 1656.Unfortunately his DNA signature is totally different from that of every other participant, so either there is no link between the surnames, or there was a “non-paternal event” at some time, perhaps many generations ago,which broke the chain whereby the Y-chromosome is passed, unchanging, from father to son.
FTDNA’s three extra markers
As more results are received from FTDNA, attention can be directed at the three extra markers upon which they report.Until the switch to FTDNA was made, the Cheshire Carden haplotype was only defined in terms of the 10 markers reported by Oxford Ancestors.
So far, among those who exactly match the Cheshire Haplotype on the 9 markers common to OA and FTDNA, all have identical values for two of the extra three, but not for the other, DYS 385b, for which two values appear:
15 Jim, Tom (Matlock), Eddie, Greg, James E, Judson (Virginia).
16 Peter L (Randle), Scott (NC)
We cannot yet be sure therefore whether for DYS385b the Cheshire haplotype is 15 or 16, although 15 seems the more probable.A value of 15 is also supported by Ernest’s result.If 15 is correct, then Peter L and Scott have a distinguishing mutation (and in any case possibly have a common ancestor).
Differences like these can be very useful in making connections between branches, but surprisingly few have arisen.
25-marker Signatures
FTDNA offer to report on 25 markers.9 participants have already taken advantage of this.The analysis can either be done when a sample is first submitted, by paying $169 (instead of $99 for a 12-marker report}, or in the form of an upgrade at a later date, costing $90.
The advantages of 25-marker tests are twofold.First, they are able to identify much more effectively the closeness of relationships.For instance, at present we know that a large proportion of our participants share a common ancestor in Cheshire, but we are unable to group them into branches of the family.With 25-markers to consider it may be possible to allocate them to a number of groups of individuals who share, or nearly share, identical results for all 25 markers.Second, with 25 markers it is possible to estimate the number of generations to the most recent common ancestor considerably better.For instance it is calculated that two individuals with identical 10-marker results have a common ancestor who lived about 15 generations ago, plus or minus a very wide margin of error.For two individuals with identical 25-marker results the corresponding estimate is 7 generations.
It is to be hoped that many participants will be prepared to pay for 25-marker tests, either when they first join the project or subsequently.Unfortunately all those whose sample was analysed by Oxford Ancestors will have to start again from scratch with FTDNA, paying $169, although several of the 10 mentioned above have taken advantage of a special offer of $149 for “Oxford Conversion.
The Y-STR database
This is a fast-growing collection of DNA results for forensic purposes covering most countries in Europe (http://ystr.charite.de).Unfortunately only 7 of the markers in the database coincide with the 10 used by Oxford Ancestors or the 12 used by FTDNA.Using these seven, 267 exact matches were found for the basic Cheshire Group signature out of a database of 9,685.This means that about 1 in 35 men in Europe share the same numbers with our Cheshire Group, and this is one of the most frequently found set of numbers, only one step away from what is called the “Atlantic Modal Haplotype.”
Arthur, Ernest (both 14 for DYS 392), and Thor (12 for DYS 391) all possess rather rare mutations.If others are found to match their results this will be highly significant.No matches whatever were found for the set of 7 usable May-Sligo figures provided by Gerard and Owen, so theirs is a very rare set of numbers!
As regards the East Kent Group, using the 7 available markers, there are only 4 exact matches for Ron/Bill’s result out of a database which had increased to 10,035 by the time the comparison was made.The matches are one each in Switzerland, London, Southern Ireland and Tuscany, so this tells us only that the East Kent Group has a very rare signature and makes a relationship between Ron and Bill virtually certain.[What is more, their common result of 9 for DYS 388 is, according to Oxford Ancestors, also very rare and outside the normal range for this marker.]
Ybase
There is an interesting site at where it is possible to compare DNA signatures with those of people who have entered theirs.
For instance, on entering the numbers for our Cheshire Haplotype, there is found to be one surname, Rader, which matches on 21 out of the 26 markers, 12 surnames which match on 20 of the 26 and many more which match on 19 or less.
If I receive no objection in the next month or so, I will submit our Cheshire and East Kent haplotypes as permanent entries in this database, so that those with other surnames can have some fun finding a match with us.Of course any of us can enter his own numbers (temporarily or permanently) to see what he finds.
Other comments
It is notable that the majority of our American participants match the Cheshire haplotype exactly, and most of the others with only one or two mutationsThis proves that almost all have Cheshire descent beyond doubt and shows that no non-paternal events have occurred in their ancestry.It is a pity, in a way, that so few exhibit any mutations, which would have made it possible to establish groups.
Huge numbers of Americans left Ireland for a better life, but only two of our participants did so.It will also be noted that the oldest proven ancestor of almost every participant from USA lived in USA before independence, long before the days of Ellis Island or the Irish famine.
But it should not be supposed that our 16 American participants are truly representative of the thousands of Cardens in the USA!

As David Von Drehle’s cover story makes clear, over the past four decades there has been a rapid evolution in thinking about same-sex marriage. We had a long debate in our offices about the cover images of two same-sex couples kissing. Some thought they were sensationalist and too in-your-face. Others felt the images were beautiful and symbolized the love that is at the heart of marriage. We ultimately sided with the latter
Brian was born August 24, 1996, just 20 mos after his big brother, Eric. My pregnancy and delivery were very normal, however, Brian was slow to "transition" after birth. He didn't nurse well, he vomited whatever he DID get into him and had low blood sugar. He was sent to the NICU for IV fluid and observation and they checked his blood count as kind of an afterthought. It turned out to show a high white count...so they put him on antibiotics and started ruling out all kinds of infections that are sometimes present in newborns after they pass through the birth canal. After 7 days, everything had been ruled out, but the NICU docs felt there was something wrong with his blood. They referred us to a hematologist/oncologist. This doctor sat down with us and told us that there was something called a "leukemoid reaction" that mocked some of the symptoms of leukemia, and that there was a 90% chance that this is what Brian had. He said that there was a 10% chance that it was actually leukemia, but that it was extremely rare to be born with it, so we would watch him over the next 6-8 wks and see how he did. At first, his counts began to get better, but by the time Brian was 4 mos old, the counts began to look worse, and he was presenting as "failure to thrive". He couldn''t keep anything down, had to have a special bottle for feeding because he had a very high arched palate that made it difficult to suck, and was only 8 pounds after being born 4 mos earlier at 7 pounds, 6 oz. So, it was time to get aggressive with his nutrition and they put him in the hospital to have a g-tube (feeding tube) placed in his tummy. At this time, they also did a bone marrow biopsy to find out once and for all, whether he had leukemia. On December 14, 1996, it was confirmed. Not only was it leukemia, but a type of leukemia (JMML- Juvenile Monomyelocytic Leukemia) whose only chance for a cure was a bone marrow transplant. They tested his big brother Eric, my husband Jeff and myself for possible marrow donors, and we were all only 50% (3 our of 6 HLA-type match). So, they began the search for a donor on the National Bone Marrow Registry. Brian also started on a low dose oral chemotherapy to help maintain his counts at a level that was more "normal" til his transplant could be done. Three months later, on March 17, 1997, we were told that a perfect match (6 out of 6 HLA match) had been found!!! The plans were then set in motion to set up and do the transplant. There were several choices of places to do this, and it was decided to go to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska. They had done several of the same exact types of transplants, and it was a tad closer to home than other choices. Transplants were being done in Denver (where we lived) at the time, but only related donor transplants, and not unrelated, so we wanted to go somewhere that was approved to do this and had a lot of experience. We couldn't have chosen a better place. Aside from having to go through this at all, we couldn't have had a better experience anywhere else.
On June 6, 1997, our 9 mos old Brian had his FIRST transplant. There were many complications (damage to his heart, kidneys, lungs)...some potentially fatal, but he somehow survived and went home to Colorado after 3 1/2 mos. One week after returning home, he was back in the hospital with RSV (a deadly respiratory infection-especially for anyone whose immune system is suppressed-and either this or the chemo left him with lung disease that had him on full time oxygen while we lived in Colorado). He was in the PICU fighting that and a few other complications for another 2 1/2 mos. before he came home. His heart stopped, his lungs failed, his liver failed.......he was on the ventilator for weeks. On top of all these complications, we were told that the first transplant didn't work...he still had the leukemia cells and if he survived this first transplant, would need to undergo a second transplant. After 2 years of fighting and recovering and getting stronger, we took Brian back for transplant number two...same donor (what an angel HE is!!), but this time they were going to do a stem cell transplant, a donor leukocyte infusion with a milder preparative regimen of chemotherapy. There was a concern that even as strong as he was since the first transplant, he was not going into this one as healthy as the first. We were a little worried about that, but knew exactly what the outcome would be (no survival at all) if we didn't at least TRY.
The second transplant was June 11, 1999 and went considerably well. He was only there 2 1/2 mos. this time, and because of the lower altitude in Nebraska, he was able to be off oxygen while we were there! Now, the good news was that he had NO EVIDENCE OF LEUKEMIA CELLS!! The bad news was that he had to fight graft vs. host disease for over a year...this is where the new graft looks at Brian's body as foreign and fights against it - by way of skin irritation and rashes, diarrhea and inability to absorb or digest properly, and an increase in liver enzymes that put his liver at risk too. The treatment for this was steroids, but these caused a HUGE weight gain and ultimately caused an inability to produce hormones on his own. We are currently working with an endrocrinologist to help with his stunted growth. He has an injection of growth hormone every single day. The growth is slow, but at least he is growing. Brian has a chromosomal abnormality (Robertsonian 13/14 balanced translocation) and almost all signs point to Noonans syndrome which affect many areas of his life, particularly feeding and growth issues. It has been 8-1/2 years since Brian's second transplant and he is still leukemia free, but at the 5 yr mark, he was found to have another major life threatening, incurable disease. Probably because of the chemotherapy that caused his lung damage, he now has pulmonary hypertension. He is on two medications that are keeping him stable, however, the future is uncertain. If these new drugs do not keep him from getting worse, he may one day need a lung transplant. We hope that research and medicine will come up with something to keep him from ever having to go down that road, but if it does, we will deal with it like everything else that has come our way. One day at a time.
So many things have happened to him and to all of us as a family since this began. Life has certainly not been what it once was, but we just take it all one day at a time and hope that in the end we have a healthy, happy little boy, and as normal a life as we can have after going through something like this. Brian is and has been the sweetest little boy...he doesn't know what his life should have been like, and perhaps that is good. He is always happy, and rarely fusses. He is behind developmentally from where he should be at this age, but every day continues to make progress. We continue helping him, not knowing what the future will hold, but knowing that as hard as this has been for him and us, we are all stronger people than we were before. The relationships that have formed because of our association with this disease and its treatment, have forever changed our lives. If we could say that there is any good to come from this horrible illness, it would be that. The love and friendship from those we would have never met otherwise have enriched our lives incredibly.

L'ÂGE D'OR DE LA PEINTURE DANOISE ET EUROPÉENNE
L'âge d'or de la peinture danoise se situe au 19è siècle. Deux périodes sont à distinguer.
La première partie du siècle voit coexister les deux mêmes tendances que partout ailleurs en Europe une fois achevées les guerres de la révolution et de l'Empire français : Romantisme et Classicisme. Les thèmes sont ceux de l'époque, très divers, mais avec une tendance très nette à l'observation de la société danoise, les paysages du Danemark, et bien sûr de l'Italie. Ces deux tendances vont en fait perdurer tout le 19è siècle.
La second partie du siècle est illustrée par l'Ecole de Skagen, une peinture souvent plus influencée par l'impressionnisme français et donc plus orientée vers la peinture de paysage. Une peinture qui développe plus les techniques de l'Art Moderne, esquisse, tachisme, peinture plate. La peinture de style romantique, classique ou réaliste continue cependant à exister pleinement. La grande attention portée à la vie quotidienne des populations est une caractéristique de cette peinture, qui la rapproche de l'art des Pays Bas protestants du siècle d'or, mais nous donne à apercevoir les moeurs et les modes de vie deux siècles après. Et bien sûr les marines.
Le 19è siècle et les toutes premières années du 20è, en Europe, se caractérisent en peinture par la très grande diversité des thèmes abordés par les peintres, dans un registre aussi bien profane que religieux. De même que par la grande diversité des techniques picturales, tantôt classiques, tantôt modernes, utilisées souvent simultanément. Cette période de la peinture européenne est multiple, comme en équilibre entre son riche passé et un avenir encore mal défini. Pendant tout ce siècle l'Europe n'obéit pas à une idéologie unique. Au contraire, des élites partisanes de doctrines très différentes, prétendent à la domination du continent, mais sans pouvoir s'imposer seules et exclure leurs rivaux. Les artistes bénéficient de cette situation de concurrence idéologique : ils y gagnent la liberté de peindre selon leurs goûts et leurs idées propres. Ils ne sont pas contraints d'obéir aux injonctions d'institutions officielles ou dominantes. En France la résistance de l'Académie à la peinture impressionniste n'a duré que quelques années. Le 19è siècle est très certainement dans toute l'histoire de la peinture européenne le siècle où les artistes ont jouit de la plus grande liberté. La peinture officielle, académique, idéologiquement monolithique et totalitaire ne renaîtra qu'à partir des années 1950 et suivantes, en provenance de New York, où elle était apparue dans les années 1920 et suivantes. C'est l'Art Contemporain. Les artistes libres se réfugieront alors dans l'art commercial privé et l'art des rues.
THE GOLDEN AGE OF DANISH AND EUROPEAN PAINTING
The golden age of Danish painting is in the 19th century. Two periods are to be distinguished.
The first half of the century saw the two same trends coexist as everywhere else in Europe when the wars of the French Revolution and Empire were completed: Romanticism and Classicism. The themes are those of the time, very diverse, but with a clear tendency to the observation of Danish society, the landscapes of Denmark, and of course of Italy. These two trends will in fact continue throughout the 19th century.
The second part of the century is illustrated by the Skagen School, a painting often influenced by French Impressionism and therefore more oriented towards landscape painting. A painting that develops more the techniques of Modern Art, sketch, tachism, flat paint. The romantic, classical or realistic style painting, however, continues to exist fully. The great attention paid to the daily life of the population is a characteristic of this painting, which brings it closer to the art of Protestant Netherlands of the golden age, but gives us to see the customs and ways of life two centuries later. And of course the seascapes
The 19th century and the first years of the 20th, in Europe, are characterized in painting by the very great diversity of the themes addressed by the painters, in a register as well profane as religious. As well as by the great diversity of pictorial techniques, sometimes classical, sometimes modern, often used simultaneously. This period of European painting is multiple, as in balance between its rich past and a future still ill-defined. Throughout this century Europe does not obey a single ideology. On the contrary, partsan elites from very different doctrines claim to dominate the continent, but can not impose themselves and exclude their rivals.
Artists benefit from this situation of ideological competition: they gain the freedom to paint according to their own tastes and ideas. They are not forced to obey the injunctions of official or dominant institutions. In France, the Academy's resistance to Impressionist painting lasted only a few years. The 19th century is certainly in the history of European painting the century when artists have enjoyed the greatest freedom. The official, academic, ideologically monolithic and totalitarian painting will only be reborn from the 1950s onwards, coming from New York, where it appeared in the 1920s and following. It is the Contemporary Art. Free artists will then take refuge in private commercial art and street art.

A piece of folk art from Sweden: Carved and painted by Axel Bister of Kiruna in 1952, this shows two Same (Lapp) men in traditional garb by the lake Ladtjojaure, with Kebnekaise mountain in the background.
Axel, on the left, worked for 50 (!) years for the iron ore mining company in Kiruna, LKAB. He drove the trams the company had built, until they closed down the tram line and put in buses, in 1958, and then worked in other capacities for the company until he retired in 1968. In his spare time, he carved and sold small wooden figures, and relief plaques which he then painted, often with a Same motif.

Here are two same-location photos in Liberty Park in Salt Lake City, Utah. At left is a constructuion photo taken in 2009. I don't know why I took that picture, but what the heck. At right is the same scene two years later. During the second visit I must have recalled that I had photographed the site in 2009. That realization prompted me to rephotograph it, knowing that residents of the city would salivate over the thought of seeing a "then and now" photo montage. I fully expect that this photo will get thousands of hits in just a few days. If it does not, I might sue Flickr for not counting a bunch of the hits.
Liberty Park is a nice place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a large rectangular tract southeast of downtown. Several of my Salt Lake City photos were shot there.

two same ashes used. similar placement. next to each other in the kiln. why is one yellow ? the other green ?
28 Dec 2019 10.09am
Reading Glasses: Tomorrow of posting day, we will miss seeing 19 most of the time.
Cat in the laptop: So odd. It will be two same even numbers.
Walkman: But hey! Let me share you with what I saw on the posting day!
Spider Plant: I'm sure you must have seen neighbor at B street!
Walkman: Correct! But not at B street. But F3ath3rs0n street.
Cat in the laptop: Did the neighbor finally say hi to the cook?
Walkman: No? Unless he shouts across the street.
Wallet: They were not walking on the same side.
Spider Plant: What was he doing?
Walkman: Just walking but with dark glasses. So the cook couldn't really tell whether it was him. But the hairstyle the front side, and the figure, resemblances him, although he wears more casually.
Spider Plant: Hairstyle like mine?
Walkman: Haha. Not like yours. You need a trim! His - still a bit curly at the top/front but shorter at the back.
Cheese & Garlic Sourdough Bread made in P town NW: Figure like mine?
Walkman: Not like yours. I think if the cook continues to buy various types of you for the next few weekends, the cook might have a figure like yours.
Sourdough Bread: Seriously!? I thought I could have saved the cook a trip to Sand Frankcisko by being so tasty! The cook finished me in two days - on second day, 3 slices for dinner and spread with nothing - I tasted so good even without -
L u r p a k: Me. I was bought when the avocado started to get expensive like $3-$4 for one, i.e. earlier this year. My cost? About $7. My best before is Sep 2019 but still I am very good eating. The visitor who visited in Nov 2019, also helped to finish me quite a lot and there is still a bit more left for next year.
80% fried egg: The cook also finds that eating the bread with me or L u r p a k is also very yum. Although eating the bread with me, reminded the cook of what happened a year ago - when the cook didn't cook but had two fried eggs with toast at M o j o thinking about the matter of neighbor at B street in the picture world after couldn't focus on work.
Wallet: Seriously, me being the closest to the cook when we are out, I do feel that the cook has expanded, after having the bread.
Cat in the laptop: Oops. When we heard neighbor at B street is as slim as the vacuum flask? What did you see Walkman?
Walkman: I sensed that the cook paused and looked - but I doubt the cook could see anything behind the dark glasses - the target also seemed to have turned and looked at the cook's side and so the cook continued to walk.
Laptop: So that was him. He might have sent paused and looked too, sent via our ex-neighbor Ms. Cannot Decide but our cook didn't know when that message was sent. Good that he sent more messages to let us know that it was him.
Spider Plant: So! Was that his last training practice to meet the cook in this year for more challenging stuff next year?
Cat in the laptop: Ya. It will be challenging to see who breaks the silence next year. They haven't learnt to talk!
Reading Glasses: To each other.

Sorta' like pop art, I suppose?
I dunno.
Today was sorta' boring.
Plans fell through, but new ones were made for tomorrow. So, I should get some actual interesting shots tomorrow. :P
Considering purchasing Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 Ultimate, because I can't fork out $500+ for Photoshop. I've been using Paint.Net, and its working alright, I just want a higher quality photo editor. I was looking into Photoshop Elements, but I heard that it doesn't have Curves? I use curves quite often, so that was really a downer. I dunno, what do you guys suggest?
This is sorta' random, but my boyfriend and I have been talking about adopting pet rats for a while now, we'd each get a boy and have them live together (because its highly recommended to have at least two same-sex rats) and I've been seriously considering finding a pure black rat, naming him Darth Vader, and buying a model Death Star to put in the cage...because I'm that weird! :D But, we wouldn't get the rats until about a year, hopefully I can come back to this photo as a reference for a name, in case I forget. :P
-Hope everyone had a great day!

L'ÂGE D'OR DE LA PEINTURE DANOISE ET EUROPÉENNE
L'âge d'or de la peinture danoise se situe au 19è siècle. Deux périodes sont à distinguer.
La première partie du siècle voit coexister les deux mêmes tendances que partout ailleurs en Europe une fois achevées les guerres de la révolution et de l'Empire français : Romantisme et Classicisme. Les thèmes sont ceux de l'époque, très divers, mais avec une tendance très nette à l'observation de la société danoise, les paysages du Danemark, et bien sûr de l'Italie. Ces deux tendances vont en fait perdurer tout le 19è siècle.
La second partie du siècle est illustrée par l'Ecole de Skagen, une peinture souvent plus influencée par l'impressionnisme français et donc plus orientée vers la peinture de paysage. Une peinture qui développe plus les techniques de l'Art Moderne, esquisse, tachisme, peinture plate. La peinture de style romantique, classique ou réaliste continue cependant à exister pleinement. La grande attention portée à la vie quotidienne des populations est une caractéristique de cette peinture, qui la rapproche de l'art des Pays Bas protestants du siècle d'or, mais nous donne à apercevoir les moeurs et les modes de vie deux siècles après. Et bien sûr les marines.
Le 19è siècle et les toutes premières années du 20è, en Europe, se caractérisent en peinture par la très grande diversité des thèmes abordés par les peintres, dans un registre aussi bien profane que religieux. De même que par la grande diversité des techniques picturales, tantôt classiques, tantôt modernes, utilisées souvent simultanément. Cette période de la peinture européenne est multiple, comme en équilibre entre son riche passé et un avenir encore mal défini. Pendant tout ce siècle l'Europe n'obéit pas à une idéologie unique. Au contraire, des élites partisanes de doctrines très différentes, prétendent à la domination du continent, mais sans pouvoir s'imposer seules et exclure leurs rivaux. Les artistes bénéficient de cette situation de concurrence idéologique : ils y gagnent la liberté de peindre selon leurs goûts et leurs idées propres. Ils ne sont pas contraints d'obéir aux injonctions d'institutions officielles ou dominantes. En France la résistance de l'Académie à la peinture impressionniste n'a duré que quelques années. Le 19è siècle est très certainement dans toute l'histoire de la peinture européenne le siècle où les artistes ont jouit de la plus grande liberté. La peinture officielle, académique, idéologiquement monolithique et totalitaire ne renaîtra qu'à partir des années 1950 et suivantes, en provenance de New York, où elle était apparue dans les années 1920 et suivantes. C'est l'Art Contemporain. Les artistes libres se réfugieront alors dans l'art commercial privé et l'art des rues.
THE GOLDEN AGE OF DANISH AND EUROPEAN PAINTING
The golden age of Danish painting is in the 19th century. Two periods are to be distinguished.
The first half of the century saw the two same trends coexist as everywhere else in Europe when the wars of the French Revolution and Empire were completed: Romanticism and Classicism. The themes are those of the time, very diverse, but with a clear tendency to the observation of Danish society, the landscapes of Denmark, and of course of Italy. These two trends will in fact continue throughout the 19th century.
The second part of the century is illustrated by the Skagen School, a painting often influenced by French Impressionism and therefore more oriented towards landscape painting. A painting that develops more the techniques of Modern Art, sketch, tachism, flat paint. The romantic, classical or realistic style painting, however, continues to exist fully. The great attention paid to the daily life of the population is a characteristic of this painting, which brings it closer to the art of Protestant Netherlands of the golden age, but gives us to see the customs and ways of life two centuries later. And of course the seascapes
The 19th century and the first years of the 20th, in Europe, are characterized in painting by the very great diversity of the themes addressed by the painters, in a register as well profane as religious. As well as by the great diversity of pictorial techniques, sometimes classical, sometimes modern, often used simultaneously. This period of European painting is multiple, as in balance between its rich past and a future still ill-defined. Throughout this century Europe does not obey a single ideology. On the contrary, partsan elites from very different doctrines claim to dominate the continent, but can not impose themselves and exclude their rivals.
Artists benefit from this situation of ideological competition: they gain the freedom to paint according to their own tastes and ideas. They are not forced to obey the injunctions of official or dominant institutions. In France, the Academy's resistance to Impressionist painting lasted only a few years. The 19th century is certainly in the history of European painting the century when artists have enjoyed the greatest freedom. The official, academic, ideologically monolithic and totalitarian painting will only be reborn from the 1950s onwards, coming from New York, where it appeared in the 1920s and following. It is the Contemporary Art. Free artists will then take refuge in private commercial art and street art.
Today I propose you two same shots with differently post production, one in HDR and one NOT in HDR.
Whit this two first pictures I create a project, in this pool I will want to introduce you (if you don't know the HDR production) what it can make an HDR image compared with not HDR shots.
This is HDR, for the NOT HDR image click HERE.

This turned out pretty nicely. Glazes were sprayed on. The lighting is a combination of strobe and fixed lighting. Two, same powered strobes might be better and would eliminate the harsh shadow on the left.
In standard BBC Planet Earth fashion, a narration of two same-sex species competing with each other on looks would involve an elaborate, beautiful display of their adornments...In our case, the standoff shows two angry females with bad stylists. Nature. Man's eternal battle.

Ms. Not Panther looked at grandma and grandma looked at her.
Grandma: You tilt your head like that monkey. Things are getting strange here.
Ms. Not Panther: Not strange, Grandma. I won't turn into that monkey. I am clear with my intentions. You know who I am. But there are two same of me here.
Grandma: I'll have the other deleted. Upload didn't work for a few attempts, not until I closed f1ref0x and restarted it again, finally this picture got uploaded.
Ms. Not Panther: I know. I also know you might have a naughty neighbor, or Mr. Cannot Be Vam pire makes you think that you have a naughty neighbor that is here in the picture world.
Grandma: Me?
Ms. Not Panther: Yes. You. You have a naughty neighbor and that naughty neighbor isn't me.
Grandma: I know you are a polite neighbor - as long as when you are not looking at the other smaller neighbors not of your type.
Ms. Not Panther: That's right. When I am having my food you gave me, I stopped sometimes and went over to you to show you my appreciation, and when I finished the meal, I didn't leave immediately too. You see, I even have this photo taken with my head tilted to remind you to talk about the monkey and naughty neighbor.
Grandma: Who is that naughty neighbor?
Ms. Not Panther: That monkey who is said to have more than one dog. The monkey who works on the same B street as you.
Grandma: Oh really? I have not seen what you described.
Ms. Not Panther: Of course not. Picture world matters do not get revealed in the real world. Although names have existed a long time in the real world, it wasn't until last Saturday that you saw the name and the background team enhanced the effects of the name so many times that makes you wonder. I'm obviously not that wonder woman you know?
Grandma nodded.
Ms. Not Panther: You are also not that wonder woman in the 70s that you watched when you were a k1d and remade recently until you wondered too much. See? I have helped you explain about another search phrase.
Grandma: I see. So he is naughty because of his name?
Ms. Not Panther: No, he has no choice for the name that he gets. Background team is naughty but they are not your neighbors - this street or B street. He is naughty because if he is really here, he is not telling you in the real world.
Grandma: Because we are like strangers - we worked in the same building and saw each other's faces a few times, so not exactly strangers. Though sometimes I saw him in the morning, most of that sometimes were when he was working in the same building, and were before I completed something that I don't like to be seen when doing something that is considered as .. erm -
Ms. Not Panther: Not erm. Not him or his name.
Grandma nodded: So I pretended not to see or recognize him as a neighbor and walked past him.
Ms. Not Panther: It's not naughty too though sometimes you wonder whether that naughty neighbor is you. I get food from you too for the past few years especially this time of the year. You wouldn't want that be seen by my owners. Anyway they are not around so I go to you for food. It's been like this since I became your neighbor.
Grandma: Although this year, you look better. You have put on some reserves these past 6-8 months.
Ms. Not Panther nodded and then said: Now these are the questions to you, not you grandma, but that naughty neighbor of yours not living on this street:
1) I want to know when did you start to read our conversations here? Did you say retreat. Have you been here for a long time? As long as I have been a neighbor to my neighbor like the ju ry time, or since the monkey appearance time, or less than 2 years?
2) What is your intention here? I am not the one who made SB disappear, I like SB's idea of -- all dogs in your village if you are not honest!

Altered panel two.
Same as the previous window: urban outfitters panel, cut in two with ribbon sewn to hold it up as shown.
The ribbon can be untied, btw. This is an idea that I only half-stole from Martha Stewart, I think.
