LIKE A STREAK OF LIGHTNING
Gwen Torrence won her 34th straight at the Millrose Games
Craig Neff
Gwen Torrence had the dogs literally yapping at her heels during last Friday night's Panasonic Millrose Games in New York. Beneath one end of the stands at Madison Square Garden, not far from the starting line for the women's 55-meter dash, were cages and cages of canines waiting to compete in the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, which would begin three days later. Frankly, the dogs had a lousy view, and they were complaining loudly.
And who could blame them? Torrence, the hottest sprinter this side of Ben Johnson, was about to put her 33-race, two-year indoor dash winning streak on the line against Evelyn Ash-ford, who holds the world best (6.54), and other top rivals. Not only that, Torrence all but expected to lose.
Which is typical. Torrence won NCAA titles for Georgia last year at 55, 100 and 200 meters, yet she lacks both a powerful build—"I'm always the puniest sprinter in the crowd," she says, referring to her 5'7", 123-pound frame—and the brash confidence common to sprinters. In 1984, for example, just 19 years old, she was too scared to show up for the U.S. Olympic Trials, even though she had qualified in the 100 meters. As her coach, Lewis Gainey, puts it, "She felt she didn't belong there."
This has been a problem for some time. As a Decatur, Ga., 10th-grader, she had to be coaxed into trying a 220-yard dash by a phys-ed teacher. Wearing low-heeled black leather pumps, she unofficially shattered the state record—yet even then Torrence was reluctant to join the track team. She did. finally, but continued to train in her street shoes because "I felt [spikes] were too hot for my skinny little legs."
Her development since then has been doubly impressive. On the track, she won the 100- and 200-meter titles at the World University Games in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, last July and finished fifth in the 200 at the World Championships in Rome last September. Off the track, having entered Georgia in 1983 as a student in the controversial Developmental Studies Program—the focus of the Jan Kemp case (SI, Feb. 24, 1986)—Torrence is now a dean's list student two quarters short of a degree in early childhood education. She spent much of last season student-teaching handicapped youngsters, a field in which she plans to make her career. Torrence says she draws inspiration from her 39-year-old brother, Charles, who was paralyzed from the waist down while playing street football 15 years ago.
In the first qualifying heat of the women's 55 on Friday night, Torrence extended her victory streak to 33 races with a 6.71 clocking. The 30-year-old Ashford, looking strong in her comeback from an injury-plagued year, won the second heat in 6.74. "She looked real good," Torrence would say later. "I was a little worried about that."
Torrence tried to block out the public-address announcer's lengthy recital of her accomplishments as she prepared for the finals. "If I listen to that stuff about the winning streak, it gets to me," she said. "I can tell when I line up. It makes my arms all shaky."
This time when she lined up, her arms were stock-still, and she and Ashford broke from the blocks even. Torrence edged ahead at 10 meters and then steadily pulled away. "She scorched the last 20," said an approving Gainey later.
Torrence broke the tape in 6.64, with Ashford second in 6.71. Both vanished under the stands for an instant, then Torrence came bounding back up the track pumping her arms in delight, her face a picture of unabashed joy. She had won her third straight Millrose title and her 34th consecutive race, and had surprised even herself. "I didn't think I was prepared," she said. "T was running a little bit scared."
Antonio McKay made his mark on the men's 400 field with muscle. He and Michael Franks engaged in such fierce elbowing in the 2¾ race that McKay, the world indoor champion in the 400, had to throw his arms up to hold his balance in Turn 2. "When you have fast guys in a race like this, you're going to get some bumping," McKay said later. "All of them want to get to the front."
Franks held the lead until the gun lap, when McKay bolted past. Pulling away, despite a taped left ankle, which he sprained in December, McKay crossed the line in 47.00, with Franks next in 47.78. Astonishingly, even with all the early jostling McKay had equaled his world-best time for an 11-laps-to-the-mile track, set on the same track last year. (On Saturday, Thomas Schönlebe of East Germany lowered his own official world-indoor 400 record to 45.05 on a 200-meter banked, rubberized track in Sindelfingen, West Germany).
McKay, who burst upon the track scene in 1984 with a boastful flourish and an Olympic bronze medal in his specialty, plus a gold as a member of the U.S. 4 X 400 relay team, has lately been stung by the fickleness of his sport. In 1985 he ran infrequently and dropped out of the world's Top 10. Last season he was bothered by a variety of injuries and again went unranked. His income has plummeted accordingly. When his shoe contract with Puma expired in December, it was not renewed. When The Athletics Congress announced it was giving $1,500 monthly training stipends to 28 top U.S. track and field athletes in its Operation Seoul program, McKay was not included.
"For TAC to say I can't receive the money, it's like them saying, Antonio McKay, we don't believe in you. We don't believe you can make the [Olympic] team," he said. "It's like a kick in the face."
McKay has to support a 20-month-old daughter, Antoinetta, as well as his wife, Trinna, whom he is helping put through graduate school in chemistry at Georgia Tech. The muscular 6-foot, 165-pound runner hinted that out of financial necessity he might soon consider playing football, a sport he essayed as a freshman wide receiver at Georgia Tech in 1983. "This may be my last Millrose meet," McKay said. "This may be my last year in track. And that's the blues."
Even the glum McKay, however, was eager to see what was expected to be a quick Wanamaker Mile. As it turned out, the key factor in this year's race was that seven-time Wanamaker champion Eamonn Coghlan of Ireland, who's recovering from a torn ligament in his back, spent the event in a tux and a headset doing TV color. That left the door open for his countryman Marcus O'Sullivan to burst from the field with a lap and a half left and cruise home unchallenged in 3:56.89, well ahead of runner-up Peter Elliott of England (3:57.63). "There's a great Irish tradition here," noted Elliott, world championship silver medalist at 800 meters last summer, who was running his first indoor mile. "I suppose if my name was O'Elliott, I might have won tonight."
More memorable was the women's mile, a duel between Kirsty Wade of England and Romania's Doina Melinte. For 10 of the 11 laps Melinte stalked Wade, hovering just a stride behind. Finally, at the gun, the race broke open. Melinte burst to the lead. She raced around the banked wooden oval like the indoor veteran she is. Melinte, 31. the 800-meter gold medalist and 1,500-meter silver medalist at the 1984 Olympics, has become something of a regular on the North American indoor circuit. Since arriving here last month with her coach and husband, Dorin, and several other Romanian runners, she had won five of five races.
Melinte made it six of six. She reached the tape in 4:21.45, the second-fastest clocking in indoor history, behind Mary Decker Slaney's world record of 4:20.5, established in San Diego in 1982. "Was able running world record," said Melinte, in the best English she could command, "but does not understand time." In other words, she hadn't known how fast she was going. If she had, she might have been able to break the record.
Melinte was selected as the meet's outstanding performer. She explained that she always likes coming to New York because, as she put it, the city "is very, very agglomeration." There's no agglomeration, of course, quite like the Millrose Games, in which young sprinters blossom and old dogs always seem to show off new tricks.

Martin Lewis on one cheap household item to stockpile before New Year
The Money Saving Expert is urging Brits to stock up on the common product before the New Year
Nathan Standley
Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has urged Brits to stock up on stamps in another word of advice to savvy savers.
While he normally encourages viewers of his popular show to buy only what they need, he is now encouraging people to buy more to save some serious cash in the long-term.
Martin's latest advice suggests just that, as he has warned that in January the price of stamps is about to increase.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the price of a first class stamp is rising by 9p from January, from 76p to 85p, while a second class stamp is going up by 1p, from 65p to 66p.
That means a book of 12 First Class stamps will rise in price from £9.12 to £10.20. Buying them now will save you more than £1 a book.

Speaking on ITV's The Martin Lewis Money show on Thursday, he advised: "Stock up on stamps NOW to beat Jan's up to 14p hike."
Royal Mail said the changes were in response to fewer people sending letters and the massive losses it had suffered during the coronavirus pandemic.

How 'Saving Calories' For Alcohol Can Lead To Drunkorexia
Cutting back on food to make room for booze might seem like a practical plan, but it's a slippery and very dangerous slope.
By Amy Marturana Winderl, C.P.T.
Collage Jocelyn Runice, Images moo_born / windujedi / Getty
It's (unfortunately) a common college scenario: Girl skips lunch, or dinner, or settles for a simple salad, so she can drink later and not worry about consuming too many calories. The logic is that those liquid calories add up, so subbing out some solid ones is the best way to break even and avoid going overboard.
But this habit of skipping meals in anticipation of binge-drinking isn't a very good habit to get into—in fact, it dangerously puts you at the crossroads of disordered eating and substance abuse. Though it's not an official diagnosis, eating disorder experts refer to this as drunkorexia. Drunkorexia is when someone skips meals or exercises excessively to "save" calories for alcohol. "It's a term for describing how an eating disorder and alcohol abuse may interplay," Bonnie Brennan, M.A., a licensed professional counselor and a certified eating disorders specialist at the Eating Recovery Center, tells SELF. Drunkorexia can start as an innocent attempt to curb calories (and save money) and spiral out of control; or, it can happen when someone with an eating disorder turns to alcohol to curb anxiety and cope with body image issues.
Drunkorexia is most commonly seen in college-aged women, but people of all ages can fall victim to this mindset.
The most common place drunkorexia is seen is on college campuses. "They're concerned about the Freshman 15, and even though they may be underage, they want to go out and party and not gain weight," Brennan says. The solution becomes to cut calories earlier, so that you don't have to consume consciously later that night. This can be immediately dangerous—you get drunk quicker when you don't have any food in your system. "Also, some folks will over-exercise in anticipation of that, and end up becoming dehydrated," Brennan adds—another unadvisable way to start a night of imbibing. For some, spending less money may also be a driving factor. When you're living off the cash you earned over winter break, it's almost a budgeting method to spend less in the dining hall and transfer those funds to your bar tab (or cover at a frat party).
Drunkorexia can plague those way beyond their collegiate years, too. "We also see this in the foodie, middle-aged population, who want to indulge in drinking expensive wines or craft beer," Brennan says. "We see more and more folks anticipating that night of enjoyment by restricting during the day or engaging in over-exercising after."
Drunkorexia can also start when someone struggling with an eating disorder starts to abuse alcohol.
Those with an existing eating disorder can develop drunkorexia if they turn to alcohol to manage their anxiety. "A high percentage of people with eating disorders, 30 to 50 percent, will develop a substance abuse disorder too," Brennan says. When dealing with high levels of anxiety and social phobias, a social lubricant can be very attractive. It can also happen the other way around, with a substance abuse disorder preceding the disordered eating. "It's not uncommon for there to be lots of sugar and donuts and candy associated with alcohol abuse treatment," as a way to give alcoholics something pleasurable that's not booze. "But it can be kind of dangerous for those prone to eating disorder behaviors as well," Brennan explains.
Drinking can also develop when a person is trying to cover up an eating disorder like bulimia—it's more socially acceptable (especially in college) to say you got sick from drinking a little too much, and laugh it off. Drinking may also be used to make purging easier. People with drunkorexia tend to be at a normal weight, "so looking at them you may not know they have a problem," Brennan says.
So, how can you tell if someone is truly struggling with this?
Skipping meals and binge drinking aren't smart activities, but realistically, lots of people may do it without body image or substance abuse problems at the core. That makes it all the more difficult to spot drunkorexia.
One warning sign of alcohol abuse, Brennan says, is if you or a friend continuously faces serious consequences as a result of your behavior. Consequences can mean not being able to make it to class, having problems at work, or facing challenges in your relationships. "One instance might be an indicator that you abused the behavior, but a recurring pattern would be an indicator" that it's a deeper problem than just the occasional slip-up, Brennan notes. If someone is prone to blacking out, engaging in risky behaviors, or vomiting frequently after a night out, it may mean they need help. Drunkorexia-associated disordered eating can be very obvious, too, if someone is skipping dinner or having a tiny portion before drinking often. They may even talk openly about this plan to save calories. If the calorie-restricting component begins to get in the way of life, like preventing someone from going out to eat with others, and happens regularly, it can signal a deeper problem.
If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, visit The National Eating Disorder Association website for valuable resources to find help and support, or call the toll-free information and referral helpline at 1-800-931-2237.

Website has materials from recent conference on the BREAD program
In memoriam: Bruce Marsh


About 11.6 percent of registered voters turned in ballots as of Friday, Oct. 26 compared with 17.4 percent at this point in the 2016 election.
Voters are turning ballots in more slowly than the last time Oregon elected a governor, according to the state Elections Division, as big money continues to flow to the campaigns of Democrat Kate Brown and Republican Knute Buehler.
About 11.6 percent of registered voters turned in ballots as of Friday, Oct. 26 — 12 days before the election — compared with 17.4 percent at this point in the 2016 election, when Brown defeated Republican challenger Bud Pierce. In other recent general elections, the return rate in 2012 was 14.9 percent and in 2014, it was 12.5 percent.
Ballots are due by 8 p.m. Nov. 6. Ballots were mailed Oct. 17.
Of the 333,767 ballots returned as of Friday, 46 percent came from Democrats, who make up about one-third of Oregon's 2.7 million registered voters. About one-third, 31.6 percent, of Republican voters have so far returned their ballots. They make up 26 percent of the state's electorate.
Nonaffiliated voters — who are 32 percent of registered voters — have returned less than 16 percent of all ballots reported so far. They remain a wild card in state elections this year.
Most notable from Friday's update on returns was unaffiliated voters' low turnout rate, Moore said. "They are not as engaged," he said.
Ballots remain unopened and won't be processed by county clerks until next Tuesday, according to Debra Royal, chief of staff for Secretary of State Dennis Richardson.
While voters continue to make up their minds, national political groups continue to pour money into Oregon's governor race. On Oct. 18, for instance, the Republican Governors Association gave another $500,000 to state Rep. Knute Buehler. Gov. Kate Brown, meanwhile, netted $250,000 from Democratic pro-choice group Emily's List. The group has so far given $750,000 to Brown.
As of Friday, disclosure forms showed Buehler's campaign with a balance of $3.2 million, while Brown had about $3.5 million left to spend. Buehler has been in the spotlight for considerable donations from the Republican governors and Nike co-founder Phil Knight, which have each given Buehler $2.5 million.
Knight also gave $1 million to the governors association last month, leading Democrats to speculate that the funds were immediately routed to Buehler's campaign. The association has said donors can't direct where their money goes.
In addition to those infusions, Buehler also reported receiving $100,000 from lumber company Freres Timber Inc.
Brown has been attracting donations from conservation, gun safety and pro-choice groups, according to her campaign finance reports. The League of Conservation Voters PAC recently chipped in $65,709, and Planned Parenthood of Oregon provided another $25,000. On the 16th, she received an additional $250,000 from national gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety, which has given her a total of $500,000. Everytown for Gun Safety is an umbrella group for Mayors Against Illegal Guns, founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Boston Mayor Tom Menino.

Nipissing West OPP charge three more drivers with impaired
Sudbury Star Staff
More from Sudbury Star Staff
Two individuals were charged with impaired driving on Saturday in the Verner area, while another was earlier charged with the same offence in Sturgeon Falls.
Nipissing West OPP said officers were on general patrol Saturday when they came upon a collision in the parking lot of a local business located on Principal Street in Verner shortly before 10 p.m.
"Investigation revealed the vehicle struck a hydro pole, causing extensive damage to the vehicle and the pole," the OPP said in a release. "The driver, who was not injured, displayed signs of impairment and was subsequently arrested."
Paul Lafreniere, 39, from Hagar, was charged with impaired driving over 80 mgs.
He was issued a 90-day automatic driver's licence suspension and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.
Lafreniere was released on a promise to appear and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Sturgeon Falls on Jan. 2.
Later that evening, at approximately 11:40 p.m., the OPP received a traffic complaint regarding a possible impaired driver travelling eastbound on Highway 17 in Verner.
Officers located and stopped the vehicle as it turned onto Pembroke Street in Sturgeon Falls.
"It was determined that the driver had been consuming alcohol," the OPP said. "Further investigation revealed the driver had a suspended licence."
Michael Richard, 24, from North Bay, was charged with impaired driving over 80 mg, as well as two counts of driving while under suspension and driving without a licence.
He was issued a 90-day automatic driver's licence suspension and the vehicle was impounded for 45 days.

Tucked behind the coastal sanctuary of Santa Barbara lies the tranquil Santa Ynez Valley. Picturesque rolling hills dotted with ancient oaks give way to abundantly sunny skies. Once recognized as the Arabian horse capital of the US, the valley now houses a myriad of equine breeds, sprawling horse and cattle ranches, a bevy of vineyards and wineries, lavender farms, and olive orchards. Rustic ranch living has been made modern with exquisite culinary destinations, restaurants, bars, and boutiques. One of our favorites? The restaurant "Sides." Their Diver Sea Scallops are unrivaled.

Leaves From George Washington's Own Draft of His First Inaugural Address
GEORGE WASHINGTON, Autograph Manuscript, Pages 27-28, 35-36, and 47-48 of Washington's own draft of his undelivered inaugural address. [written ca. January 1789]. 6 pp. on 3 leaves, 7 x 9 in.
"This Constitution, is really in its formation a government of the people"
George Washington understood that the new government's success, as had the Constitutional Convention's, rested squarely on his shoulders. He also knew that everything he did as the first president would set precedents for future generations. He wrote privately about the promise, ambiguity, and tension of high office, and these same themes are woven throughout his original, undelivered inaugural address. Would the government work as intended, or suffer death from a thousand cuts? Still, the former Commander in Chief recognized the nation's potential, as well as the honorable men who had come together to build the Constitution.
The three unique leaves—six pages—offered here are written entirely in Washington's hand. They include assertions that government power is derived from the people, and a highly significant section of the Address explicitly arguing that the Constitution is subject to amendment and, by implication, advocating the adoption of the Bill of Rights. They also include the oratorical climax of the address—arguably the most visionary and impassioned passage of the address.

Andrew Jackson's First Inaugural Address in Maryland Newspaper
ANDREW JACKSON, Newspaper. Niles' Weekly Register, March 7, 1829. Baltimore, Maryland: Hezekiah Niles & Son. 16 pp. (17-32), 6¼ x 9⅞ in.
"As long as our Government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of person and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending...."
Andrew Jackson's election in 1828 over incumbent John Quincy Adams marked an end to the "Era of Good Feelings," as Jackson's supporters became the Democratic Party, while those who supported Adams became the National Republicans. In March 1829, Jackson became the first president to take the oath of office on the East Portico of the U.S. Capitol. His inaugural address promised to respect the rights of states and the constitutional limits on the presidency.

James Madison's First Inaugural Address, Asserting Neutral Rights in Prelude to the War of 1812
JAMES MADISON, Newspaper. The Repertory, March 14, 1809. Boston, Massachusetts: John & Andrew W. Park. 4 pp., 13¼ x 20¼ in.
"Indulging no passions which trespass on the rights or the repose of other nations, it has been the true glory of the United States to cultivate peace by observing justice, and to entitle themselves to the respect of the nations at war by fulfilling their neutral obligations with the most scrupulous impartiality."
When President Thomas Jefferson followed George Washington's example and declined to seek a third term, he selected James Madison as his successor. Reflecting challenges within his own party, Madison won the Presidency over fellow Democratic-Republican DeWitt Clinton, who was endorsed by some state Federalist parties, by a narrow margin.
Lincoln's Third State of the Union Address
and Amnesty Proclamation
[ABRAHAM LINCOLN], Newspaper. New York Times, New York, N.Y., Dec. 10, 1863, with "Supplement to The New York Times" complete with its own masthead. 12 pp. 14¾ x 21 in.
Contains Lincoln's entire 1863 Message to Congress, where he reaffirmed his commitment to emancipation, as well as His Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction, which laid out a plan to return the rebellious states to the Union fold. Commonly called the "Ten Percent Plan," it allowed for a state to hold new elections when 10% of its 1860 voters took a loyalty oath to the Union.
James Monroe's State of the Union Address
[JAMES MONROE], Newspaper. American Mercury, Hartford, Ct., December 9, 1817, 4 pp., 13 x 19½ in. With the State of the Union Address in full on page 2.
Monroe enters office in a time of peace and prosperity well deserving of its moniker, the Era of Good Feelings. Still, the president outlines a plan for the future in his first message to Congress.
Front-Page Printing of William Henry Harrison's Deadly Inaugural Address
WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, Newspaper. National Intelligencer, March 6, 1841. Washington, D.C.: Gales & Seaton. 4 pp., 18 x 23¼ in.
"If there is one measure better calculated than another to produce that state of things so much deprecated by all true republicans, by which the rich are daily adding to their hoards and the poor sinking deeper into penury, it is an exclusive metallic currency...."
On a cold, wet day, March 4, 1841, President Harrison delivered the longest inaugural address in history. Harrison wrote the entire speech himself, though it was edited by his soon-to-be Secretary of State, Daniel Webster. Webster said afterwards that in the process of editing the text, he had "killed seventeen Roman proconsuls." Contracting pneumonia, Harrison became the first president to die in office 31 days after delivering this address. His vice president John Tyler became the new president and served out Harrison's term.
In an 8,460-word address, printed here on the front page of the National Intelligencer, Harrison presents a detailed statement of the Whig agenda and a repudiation of the populism and policies of Democratic Presidents Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren. Harrison promises to reestablish the Bank of the United States, to issue paper currency, to use his veto power sparingly, and to appoint qualified officers of government in contrast to the spoils system that Jackson heralded. He favors term limits, limits on the powers of the presidency, and devotion to the nation rather than party. Harrison avoids specifics on the divisive issue of slavery, which in theory he might have opposed, but of which he was in practice a staunch defender.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, Newspaper. Gazette of the United States, March 9, 1793. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: John Fenno. 4 pp., 9½ x 14¾ in.
"Previous to the execution of any official act of the President the Constitution requires an oath of office. This oath I am now about to take, and in your presence—that if it shall be found, during my administration of the Government, I have in any instance violated willingly, or knowingly, the injunctions thereof, I may (besides incurring constitutional punishment) be subject to the upbraidings of all, who are now witnesses of the present solemn ceremony."
Although Washington wanted to retire after a single term, the members of his cabinet, especially rivals Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, were convinced that he was essential to lead the nation through the next four years. After being again unanimously selected by the Electoral College, Washington delivered his second inaugural address in the Senate Chamber of Congress Hall in Philadelphia. At 135 words, it is the shortest inaugural address ever.

Monroe Expands on his Doctrine in Last Annual Message
JAMES MONROE, Broadside. Albany Argus - Extra. Albany, N.Y.: Edward Croswell, December 10, 1824. 1 p., large folio broadside in 6 columns, text extracted from the National Journal, Extra, December 7, 1824. 21¾ x 15½ in.
Apparently unrecorded, this broadside extra prints President Monroe's last annual message to Congress, delivered on December 7, 1824. Covers relations with Great Britain, the slave trade, Indian relations, the comprehensive survey of possible road and canal sites in the interior, and an elaboration on the Monroe Doctrine, providing the rationale for exhorting European states not to interfere with the evolution of the newly independent Latin American states. "Separated as we are, from Europe by the great Atlantic Ocean, we can have no concern in the wars of the European governments, nor in the causes which produce them. The balance of power between them, into whichever scale it may turn, in its various vibrations, cannot affect us. It is the interest of the United States to preserve the most friendly relations with every power, and on conditions fair, equal, and applicable to all. But in regard to our neighbours, our situation is different. It is impossible for the European governments to interfere in their concerns, especially in those alluded to, which are vital, without affecting us …"

[WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON], Broadside, National Intelligencer, Extra. March 4, 1841. "The Inaugural Address of President Harrison." Washington, D.C.: Gales & Seaton. Five columns, 1 p., 16¼ x 23¾ in.
"Always the friend of my countrymen, never their flatterer, it becomes my duty to say to them … that there exists in the land a spirit hostile to their best interests--hostile to liberty itself.... It is union that we want, not of a party for the sake of that party, but a union of the whole country for the sake of the whole country, for the defense of its interests and its honor against foreign aggression, for the defense of those principles for which our ancestors so gloriously contended...."

The attempt of those of one State to control the domestic institutions of another can only result in feelings of distrust and jealousy, the certain harbingers of disunion, violence, and civil war, and the ultimate destruction of our free institutions...."

John Quincy Adams' Copy of a Scarce South Carolina Printing of the Monroe Doctrine
[JOHN QUINCY ADAMS]. JAMES MONROE, Newspaper. State of the Union Message. Cheraw Intelligencer and Southern Register, December 12, 1823. Cheraw, S.C.: William Poole & Co. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams' name penned in top margin of first page, likely addressed by the publisher. 4 pp., 12¾ x 20 in.
"the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers."
The Monroe Doctrine - as it is now known- was largely the creation of Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, and issued not on its own but as part of James Monroe's Annual Message to Congress (now referred to as the State of the Union Address). By declaring that the western hemisphere was no longer subject to European colonization, it marked a defining moment in Monroe's presidency and informed American foreign policy for more than a century.
Monroe's message covered other important topics, among them the international slave trade, the possible construction of a canal to connect the Chesapeake Bay with the Ohio River, and the Greek War of Independence. In addition, this newspaper prints the editor's brief reaction to the president's "luminous message" (p2/c4); notice of Henry Clay's election as Speaker of the House of Representatives (p2/c4); proceedings of the South Carolina state legislature, including proposed laws prohibiting "free negroes" from entering the state, reports on canal building (p3/c1-2), and other local, national and international news. Notices and advertisements include runaway slave ads (p4/c1).
As Secretary of State, Adams needed to receive news from all parts of the United States. His office was responsible not only for foreign affairs but also for relations between the states and the federal government.

FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT, Printed Document Signed, Press Release, January 6, 1941. Inscribed "'Another' for M.A.L." 7 pp., Offered as part of The FDR - Marguerite A. "Missy" LeHand Archive.
"No realistic American can expect from a dictator's peace international generosity, or return of true independence, or world disarmament, or freedom of expression, or freedom of religion–or even good business. Such a peace would bring no security for us or for our neighbors."
The Missy LeHand Archive, comprising some 1,400 pieces, is the most important grouping of original documents still in private hands from such a central figure in FDR's political and personal life. In conjunction with Glenn Horowitz Booksellers, we are offering the archive, intact, directly from Ms. LeHand's heirs.
Highlights of the archive include more than forty signed Presidential Addresses, mainly rare Press Release printings from the day the speeches were delivered in 1937-1941. In addition to the Four Freedoms Speech, this group includes his first Inaugural Addresses, his December 1940 "Arsenal of Democracy" speech, fireside chats, and other historic addresses.
Missy's official papers long ago moved to the FDR Library in Hyde Park; this collection constitutes the personal letters, signed books, photos and documents she received from her boss. The FDR Library in Hyde Park has working drafts of a number of these speeches, and official printed copies, but does not have signed copies of most. In fact, for many of the addresses here, it is literally impossible for a better FDR association copy to come on the market, ever.


These beauties are super quick and require no talent whatsoever. The two key criteria I look for in all my meals. Nutritional value and taste feature further down the list, but this recipe rocks those too.
These beauties are all-round winners.
And only 80 calories a pop (per the ingredients I used).
– lightly spray your muffin tray with the cooking spray to prevent the pastry from sticking.
– slice filo pastry into squares quite a bit bigger than the cups in your muffin tray. This will be folded over once the cups are filled. Place the pastry into the cups, pressing down, but not right into curve of cup.
– place a slice of chosen meat in each cup. Salami was good, it meant I didn't need to add any additional flavouring, but I encourage you to experiment!
– crack eggs into a bowl and mix in cheese. Spread this mix evenly across all cups. Be careful not to overfill – the cups should be about half-full with the egg/cheese added.
– layer a thin slice of tomato on top of cup. The thicker the tomato, the more likely you are to burn yourself when eating. Choose thickness to suit daredevil status.
– gently fold over pastry on top of tomato. Don't press too hard or you'll lose your egg.
– bake until lightly golden. Serve with salad for extra crunch. Bonus points if you invite me to dinner and share your version!

Random.org picked #25 - Jen and I just sent her a note to get her address!
Congrats, Jen, and thank you all for sharing your stories! They really humbled and inspired me!
Hello friends! This week I'm traveling for work but I couldn't leave you hanging without sharing something creative! I've had fun with my new What's Up collection lately and made this card for the 2012 Gallery Idol competition. I used a background paper with clouds and the "come fly with me" phrase, cut out the buildings from another paper and layered them atop the cloud paper and then finished the card with a chipboard banner, cardstock sticker cloud, and some colorful brads.
Thanks for visiting today and I'll be back on Friday with something for the new monthly challenge at The Craft's Meow!
Hello friends! Today is another busy Saturday on the blog and this is my third post! If you're looking for my Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge card or the OWH Blog Hop, please scroll down.
I made this lovely tag for our Etsy Greetings Team wedding blog hop!

Today we wanted to showcase some new wedding creations you can find in our Etsy Shops! If you're here from the Etsy Greetings blog, you're in the right spot. If not, head on over to get started!
I made this tag using some new papers and embellishments from Prima - how gorgeous are they? The wooden banners say happy memories and there are even some feathers and some crystal stick pins tucked in behind those gorgeous flowers.
Next on the hop is Anastasia! Head over to the Etsy Greetings Blog for the full list of participants today!
When I heard about the blog hop and saw the new Circle of Honor set from Paper Smooches, I just had to have it! Even better, proceeds from the sale of this set benefits Operation Write Home! I started off with some patterned papers from Bo Bunny and some glitter tape from American Crafts (glitter that won't flake off...these tapes are brilliant!) I stamped the eagle and colored him with my Copics and stamped the sentiment in the lower right.
So, all of you who stuck with me this far are about to be rewarded...:) In honor of my 3 year blogiversary this month, I will send a brand new Circle of Honor set to one of you! Just leave a comment telling me why Memorial Day is special to you (and I'd love it if you also wanted to follow me but it isn't requred) here by midnight Monday 5/28, and I'll post the winner sometime on Tuesday!
If it is Saturday then it must be time for a new sketch at Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! I just love this sketch from DT member, Lynn!
I still had Sweethearts out from when I made my blog party card and I thought it would be perfect for a card for my hubby! Super, duper, extra, huge long story but we've been going through a lot of medical stuff the last couple of years and not only has he been a trooper, his strength has helped me through so much more than I thought I could deal with. He's my rock and I love him more than words can say! All of the paper elements and "do dads" came from the May Studio Calico kit and I stamped the sentiment and the hearts, cut them out, and added them to the card.
Thanks for visiting today and I can't wait to see what you create with this sketch! Don't forget that a random participant will be chosen to win the stamp set of their choice!
Hello friends! Today I'm happy to participate with this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop! Isn't the inspiration photo gorgeous?! I love the geometric patterns and the greens with the black and white just pops!
I started off with the checkerboard background from my brand new On the Farm stamp set and some green ink over a white panel. I stamped the sentiment and then sprayed the panel with some Mister Huey in gray. I adhered some gorgeous lace over the checkerboard and finished the card with some flowers and some gems.
I started off with some new papers from Basic Gray, added some die cut felt clouds, and a chipboard hot air balloon. I stamped the balloon trail with a stamp from Flourishes and the tag with a sentiment and hearts from Sweethearts.
Thanks for visiting today and I can't wait to see what you all create!

I made this card using "Typically Teen" and "Dads and Grads" and think they make such a great statement together! I cut a sheet of paper with a crossword puzzle pattern and stamped it with the splatter pattern stamp from "Typically Teen" using silver ink. I then stamped sentiments from both sets into the crossword spaces, and finished the card with stamped images cut out and popped off of the card with foam squares.
Well, I should let you hop on over to Jessica's blog because in order to be eligible for the big giveaway (all 6 new sets!!), you need to comment on all of the blogs by 9pm PDT on 5/23! Good luck!!
I have a quick post for today to share a card I made using the colors from this week's "Bright Bite" Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab world which just about perfectly match the colors in this week's Color Throwdown!
I started off with a green card base and then stamped a white panel with "The Only Flower" sentiment from Rubbernecker Stamps. I stamped the "Floral Silhouette" and "Rose Silhouette" stamps onto different colors of cardstock and heat embossed them all using white powder. Once the images were embossed, I used a postage stamp punch to punch out different portions of the images and adhered them onto the card. I finished the card with some green gems.
Hello friends! Today is the last day of previews for the amazing May release at The Craft's Meow! Have you been loving what you're seeing of all of the new sets?!? Today we have two more sets to preview - Retro Foundations and Typically Teen designed by Karen Baker! Don't forget to leave a comment back on the TCM blog for a chance to win both sets we're previewing today!
I made this card primarily using images from Typically Teen but I threw in the graduation cap from Dads and Grads to finish it off. There are so many great images in Typically Teen which are perfect for cards for those younger folk! :) I love the streaks and the splatter background and the sentiments are the perfect size to go along with those broad brush strokes!
I made this card using Retro Backgrounds and you've got to see all of the patterns in this set!! I started off by stamping one in silver ink on a black card base and I just love how festive it is! I die cut a little notebook page from vellum layered over white cardstock, spritzed it with some Mister Huey, and then stamped one of the greetings from the set on top. I finished the card with some red glitter ribbon and a few fun feathers.

I started this card off with a white card base stamped with flowers from the Create a Garden II set - how pretty are they? Don't they look like they could just grow right off the card? I masked off where I wanted my pots to be and then stamped away! I stamped the pots onto some flecked kraft cardstock for a bit of a terra cotta look, and then adhered them using foam tape for some dimension. I finished the card with some twine, gems, and a sentiment from the Garden Phrase set.
Thanks for visiting today and we'll see you back next month for another fun hop! Off you go to Joan's blog for some more wonderful inspiration!

Don't forget to leave a comment back on the TCM blog to win the set we're previewing today!
I used one of the sentiments and two of the dress form images to make this birthday card. I stamped the dress forms and hand cut them (see, I need my dies!!), layered a couple of pieces of patterned paper, lined the center panel with some tiny, red, rickrack trim, and finished the card with a chipboard flower and some woodgrain photo corners.
See you tomorrow with a preview of the stamp set that will be a gift with any $50 purchase this release. Fun stuff!
Hello friends!! Today is a happy and busy Saturday for me here on the old blog (and IRL, more on that in a bit!) This is the first of three posts from me today and it is the start of another challenge at Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! I was flummoxed for a bit from this sketch from DT member, Lynn, but am happy with how my card turned out!
I figured I hadn't used Back in the Saddle in a while and it had a great mix of sentiments and images that I thought fit great with the sketch. The backing papers and embellishments are from the Sasparilla collection.
Hello friends, welcome to day two of May release previews at The Craft's Meow! I hope you enjoyed all of the flowers yesterday and today we have something for the fellas! :) Don't forget to leave a comment back on the TCM blog for a chance to win the sets we're previewing today!
This first card is made from the Dad's and Grads set designed by Kaitlyn Ord. This set has a couple of wonderful images and even more wonderful sentiments! I started with a white card base that I tried to turn into a designer shirt front by using some Mister Huey and a Huey's Mask! I know my dad wouldn't wear this shirt but I've seen crazier walking around here in the city! :) I'll be linking this card to the Splatter Technique Challenge at Moxie Fab World, too! I finished the card with a sentiment and the wonderful tie image from the set. This tie is super with the "dad" and the newsprint background already embedded in the stamp!
I can't wait to give this card to my dad! Since I already have a Father's Day card in mind, I will probably save this for his birthday. I adore how the sentiments from For My Dad match so well with the imagery in the set. Wonderful set design by Michelle Bertuzzi! The minute I saw this sentiment, I thought it would be perfect with these little telephones and a bit of woodgrain background paper. I think he will love it!
Hello friends! Today I 'm so excited to kick off four days of previews for the May release at The Craft's Meow! I'll be sharing projects featuring six new sets over the next few days and we'll wrap up release day with a DT blog hop on the 21st, the day the new sets will be available for purchase! Fun stuff!!

Also, don't forget to comment back at the TCM blog for a chance to win the set we're previewing today!
I made this card with a gorgeous new set from Nina B. Designs - Flower Garden! Wow, are there some amazing images in this set! Trust me, you can create just about any type of garden you want to with these beauties! :) I started off with the tulip images because they are simply my favorite flower, ever! I stamped two tulips in red and the leaves in green on a white label. I just love the texture of the stamps - the text print is built right in so you don't have to do any stamp kissing! I used some neutral papers and a pop of red to coordinate with the tulips finishing the card with a border sticker.
I started with a red card base, layered with a vintage dictionary page that I stamped with a postmark stamp from a the Opera set from Rubbernecker Stamps. I layered two die cuts on top using some foam squares for dimension and added some international postage stamps I found while on vacation last summer! I added the Netherlands and Spain in honor of two of our favorite trips and just thought the other three were pretty! :) I'm also linking this to the Postage Challenge at Moxie Fab World!
Hello friends! Today marks the beginning of a new sketch challenge at Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge with this beauty from DT member, Lynn! I just love all of the layers and can't wait to see what you make with it! I'm also going to submit this card for the Moxie Fab World's Gingham Challenge!
I've had these MME papers for a little while now and haven't really had a chance to use them and thought they matched the summery weather we've been having in the city this week. I started off with a kraft base that I stamped with one of the stamps from Gingham & Co. using white craft ink. I layered two coordinating patterned papers together and stamped the top one with the oval and a sentiment from Cameo to Go. I finished the card with some twine and a flower sticker that coordinates with the papers.
Have fun with this one and remember, one random participant will win the WMS set of their choice!!
I used the gray and pale pink color combo of the ensemble and used some patterned papers to replicate the look of the top. I finished the card off with a stamped label, a giant (amazing!) flower, and some fun feathers.

Renaissance Synagogues Being Restored in Venice's Ghetto | Entertainment News
By CHRIS WARDE-JONES, Associated Press
VENICE, Italy (AP) — Venice's Jewish ghetto is considered the first in Europe and one of the first in the world, and a new effort is underway to preserve its 16th-century synagogues for the Jews who have remained and tourists who pass through.
For nearly two years, restorers have been peeling away paint and discovering the original foundations of three of the ghetto's synagogues, which are considered the only Renaissance synagogues still in use, art historian David Landau said.
Landau is spearheading the fundraising effort to restore the synagogues and nearby buildings both for Venice's small Jewish community, which numbers around 450 people, and for tourists who can visit them on a guided tour through the Jewish Museum of Venice.
"I was really deeply offended by the state of the synagogues," said Landau, a Renaissance specialist who bought a home in Venice 12 years ago. "I felt that the synagogues were in very bad condition. They had been altered beyond recognition over the centuries, and needed to be kind of cared for and loved."
Political Cartoons on World Leaders
He has secured about 5 million euros to date and expects workers can complete the restoration process by the end of 2023 if the rest of the funding comes through, although the original outstanding 4 million euros has now ballooned to 6 million euros because of soaring building costs.
Venice's ghetto dates from 1516, when the republic forced the growing numbers of Jews into the district where the old foundries, or "geti" as they were known, had been located. The area, which was locked down at night, became what is considered Europe's first ghetto and remains the hub of Venice's Jewish community in the Cannaregio area.
The first synagogue dates from 1528 and was built by German Ashkenazi Jews. Others followed and served different groups, including one for Spanish Sephardic Jews and one for Italian Jews.
None is visible from the street, as strict rules imposed by Venice's rulers didn't allow Jews to practice their faith openly. All the synagogues are hidden away on the top floors of seemingly normal buildings that on the lower levels held cramped living spaces for Jewish families.
The synagogues have remained operational continuously, except for the years of World War II during the German occupation.
The head of Venice's Jewish community, Dario Calimani, said the restoration project was necessary both to maintain the religious and cultural life of Venice's Jews today and to preserve the community's history.
"They are a testimony to the life that it was, to the history of our community, small community," he said.

* This is the cost advantage that a business obtains due to expansion. * That is the factor that cause the average cost of producing a product to fall, as output of the product rises as explained in the 'Dictionary of Economics'. * By achieving economies of scale, a company would have the cost advantage over its existing and new rivals. * Further, the company could achieve lower long run average cost (i.e. productive efficiency). But if technology changes, this might alter the nature of costs in the long run, where it could allow small businesses to adapt new technology successfully and break into the established market segments. Have you ever wondered why the price of a digital camera keeps falling, while the functions and performance are high? This is Economies of Scale, which brings down the unit cost of production and hence, passes this advantage onto the consumer through lower prices. E.g. for a supermarket getting 5,000 cartons of milk as opposed to just 100, is cheaper. That is, the marginal cost of delivering 5,000 cartons will be low compared to that of getting 100. Economies of Scope
These are factors that make it cheaper to produce a range of related products than to produce each of the individual products on their own (Dictionary of Economics). When a company produces a wide range of products as opposed to specializing in one or few handful of products economies of scope occurs. For example, a company could expand its product range in order to take advantage of the value of its existing brands – this would exploit economies of scope. In industries, such as telecommunications, healthcare industry etc, the economies of scope has been realized. E.g. when fast food outlets product multiple food items, they enjoy a lower average cost compared to that of firms producing the same food. Because the common factors such as storage, service facilities, etc can be shared among the different food items and hence, reducing the average cost.

What is the difference between Economies of Scale and Economies of Scope? Both are conceptually similar, but the following differences exist. · Economies of scale is about gaining benefits by producing large volume of a product, whereas economies of scope brings benefits by producing a wide variety of products by efficiently use of the operations. · Economies of scale refer to reduction in average cost for a single product, whereas economies of scope refer to lowering average cost of producing two or more products. · Economies of scale has been known for a long-time, whereas economies of scope is relatively new approach to business strategy. · Economies of scale use the most efficient process, whereas economies of scope uses the same process to produce similar products using high technology.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… "Economies of scale: output can be doubled for less than a doubling of cost. Similarly, diseconomies of scale: a doubling of output requires more than a doubling of cost."
"Economies of scope: joint output of a single firm is greater than output that could be achieved by two different firms when each produces a single product." This might arise if the production of some product requires only a few laborers, and having more laborers only lets them interfere with each other's work. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. * Economies of scale are the advantages that can result when repeatable processes are used to deliver large volumes of identical products or service instances. Scaling relies on interchangeable parts either in the product itself, or in the delivery mechanisms, in the case of intangible services. * Economies of scope are the advantages that can result when similar processes are used to deliver a set of distinct products or services.

Today the challenge is to share your earliest memory. I have a love-hate-and-on-and-off-again relationship with my memories. Some days certain years, days, or decades are Caribbean clear. Other days, I can barely remember what happened last year.
In fact, today when I was waiting at the vet with my new writing buddy (who is currently asleep at my feet), I thought about where I should keep his flea/tick preventative. Instead of picturing somewhere in my current dwelling, the flash of my grandmother's green kitchen desk came to mind.
Memories are funny that way: coming unbidden. Curious and convoluted. I worked on this poem over the past two years, and I shared it at the May NewBoPoJam.
I honestly can't remember the summer sun in grandma's backyard but I recall the swing brushing the gooseberry bushes even though I still don't know the shape or tangy pop of the berries. Who knows what fragments of light crossed that upstairs Spanish painting terrifying me into bed until sunrise? I can't remember the face but I know the rounded edge of hat and bag of candy for the girl he'd never see again.
I can't remember the faces of the babas in line with us. Interlopers we stood in the snow eating their language while reading the maps of the past in their eyes. Stories blended together in our bewilderment at lives that we could not have endured and would leave in ten months. They've probably perished since, but not I. Is that true?
I can't remember the farm wall color but the smell of cattle and electric fences danced through the window and called for discovery: kittens in the barn – blind wet furies hooked into childhood's hands and memory. A little fur on the cookies didn't hurt and who wandered down to the one room school with me? Abandonment and age scarred the board and discarded books. A potbellied stove warmed spiders' nests.
I can't remember my aunt's odd cat named a Japanese name and eating cheese from a toothpick at Christmastime. Soft, elusive, peering from the almost upstairs – what of me remains with you?
I can't remember the old farm where the woman lopped off the chicken's head and it actually ran around before collapsing. A heap of edible death near the marigolds. Perhaps we made stew or chicken pie? The bloodstain remained for weeks, not so the food.
I can't remember all those beers and shots of laughter with friends, buying our way to a fake joy that should have never been attempted in the first place. What was I trying to prove the night I smoked that first cigarette and threw up?
I can't remember the kneeling moment or the taste of the three tier cake, but sickly sweet recalls the blows and bruises and unfairness. What does it say about me that I remember no kindness but all the dinners of hardship and contempt? Scars hidden can be denied.
I can't remember the Barbies and Monopolies and Go Fishes and Kick the Cans. The twilight of summer that shone in your firefly eyes. Licorice smiles and watermelon breath after supper, and did anyone like pigs as much as you? Too much pink escapes me now and I feel something gained despite loss. Leaf houses turn snow forts that we seal by pouring hot water across the walls in frozen sticky red mittens.
I can't remember the call of the creek but crystal feelings sparkled hope mixed with breeze and salted sunshine. Something. Someone. Out there waiting to stumble across me and I waited for that embrace that never came, didn't I?
I can't remember the copulation and the birth is blurry. Undefined then suddenly manifest. The shapes of your cries still hang in the air as your paintings on the walls. Joy anticipated had no disappointment, but shifted expectations speak loudly while childhoods now past whisper conspiracies of guilt and regret from the corners. Is it possible to hold on and release?
I can't remember the crafts and shared knowledge little to big. Your made up language and the green smiling alligator that no one knew. Robbing the bank on doubles. How about chocolate eating in the living room. Did Mom ever catch you?
I can't remember the reasons, but I remember the stitches. A fall on refrozen ice or too soft chin on a too hard floor or trying to fly from a desk chair? Indelible souvenirs of the invincible imagination – moments fleeing into small history.
I can't remember becoming mom's age. I can't remember mom becoming grandma's age. The fields of time and hamburgers along this path extend beyond imagination. Keeping dreams and hand holds and goodnights while pushing the cry-stained blankets farther away creates comfort of a sort. Who knew that this was a ball of colored yarn tangled beyond recognition? Trying to sort it out will reveal hidden nettles and unspeakable softness. Who snarled this so impossibly? I can't remember. Maybe it was me.
A few years ago – while living in the South – I became aware of a new holiday. I went to get a document signed for my son at the state-run immunization clinic. The clinic was closed on a Monday in late April. Later that day, when we didn't get any mail, I asked what was going on. It was Confederate Memorial Day.
Tragic events over the past year from Ferguson to Texas to New York and beyond coupled with a road trip that included a series of civil rights stops reminded me of a poem that I wrote shortly after learning about Confederate Memorial Day. I invite you to think about it.
people who did not foresee faults.
fish fries - or moonshine.

This is more than we think it is.


MOOLOOLABA Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol officers have begun a crab pot clean-up in the Maroochy River as part of Fisheries Queensland's #WarOnWasteAU.
