End of Month Roundup

Let's just get to this, shall we...?
On Friday the 28th, Mnemosyne enters Aries, Kallisto enters Taurus and (nobody's favorite) Scheat gets paid a visit by asteroid House.
A day later (on the 29th) House enters Aries, evidently not having been a House feeling at home with the ever-unpopular Scheat.
Sunday is a day off (i.e., status in progress stays static, etc.)...then Monday the 31st has the Sun catching up with Mars in Aquarius – probably the whole energy behind this 'hurry up and spit it out, woman!' post.
For those of you who don't need details, you are now officially welcome to heave a grunt and be off about your days, ne'er to return (perhaps) until dawn o' February.
And for those care to explore a little more...? That we shall now do!
Looking at this list...(and back over past posts, if you are so moved)....there's a steady, continuing shift of celestial objects into signs more often yang (exploring of the unknown) than yin (building on the known). And what with Jupiter having just moved into Aries (and Uranus soon to follow suit), this would seem to be a definite hint to get off our proverbial stick (or duff, if you prefer) and deal with life more constructively. Or personally.
Where we don't, it's likely that life will provoke us to whether we want to or not. You know - the ol' 'you need to do this, and that and that other thing too' sort of thing.
Why do you think she's known as Mother Nature? We go around being untidy and life makes us pick up our socks!
Ye Olde Yang Signs
What this sort of gets down to is that being busy is NOT the same thing (at least metaphysically) as accomplishment. And for those who aren't sure which is which, accomplishment is the finished product - or at least the benchmark where all has reached a new and durable status quo.
Personally, I don't think it's any astonishing leap of coincidence that the words 'busyness' and 'business' are so very close, either. Those who want to ONLY do their own business are very good at finding those who can be sweltered into busyness for the whole of their life.
It's also all a matter of perspective. What I may call 'busyness' you might call accomplishment. But if I can't look at it with pride of accomplishment, it's just busyness in my life. That ultimately proves we each know who we are better than anyone else.
That difference is also a goodly part of what yin versus yang signatures are meant to prompt in us. If and where we are not doing our 'business of life' symbols in yang signs (and the yang-by-nature/left hemisphere of the natural zodiac) …the more objects are in yang signs, the more we are being prompted to do more 'business' and less 'busyness.' Life will make business more and more the imperative until we switch.
The Pro-active side of the zodiac wheel
In this light, Mnemosyne entering Aries is the memory of who we are, were...or maybe who we started out to be. It can also be a reminder of what we need to do. Or what we started into life aiming for. Our Purpose...or the purpose for which we do things, is now rather on the rise as part of a comparison. Jupiter in Aries is very present tense. But what we were, what we wanted to be, what we could have done?
There are those who will get to this moment and feel guilty. Even sad. Is it really so late to be the person you wanted to be? Or are you simply letting yourself not be or become that person?
Then there are those who love waxing nostalgic over 'the good old days.' Trouble is, those days never really were. Every time has its good and its bad. Life is just never the dream. So one could say that when life calls up old memories, there must be some other reason. What is that?
Kallisto entering Taurus is – to use all implied puns! – to be beastly about resources. Or to realize we have been 'beastly' in our treatment of our own truest values. Though some might argue that Kallisto in Taurus might be a 'pillaging of resources,' I'd think the story of Kallisto has a maiden being turned into the beast through her desire to be chaste as a representation of the eternal (internal) human debate over whether we are afraid of our creative/creator essences.
The myth refers to sexuality, which would have been very apt in those times when they were still worried about making more humans so that humans would continued to exist! But this story about 'chastity' in a Taurean arena is far more than that. Taurus is a sign not only about what we make of ourselves through having sufficient self worth, talent and the will to use them both, but the physical resources which secure our existence, from which comes the modern Taurean "buzz word" of Taurus as money. If money is a resource, yes it's Taurean. But like Fanny Bryce said in the old Hello Dolly movie...money is like manure - it's useless unless you sprinkle it around, encouraging young things to grow!
Those things may be many things. Yes, we can help others, we can put money out into the economy, stimulating growth. But another key use of money is in the judicious growing of our dream person - the "me" we each want to be.
Kallisto moving into this sign is life asking us to look at all these checks, balances and possible denials. Given that Kallisto is ultimately redeemed not in life but in death (the mythic Kallisto gets set among the constellations as Ursa Major – the Big Bear) this may indicate how long it will take for benefits to come of actions taken now. Or it might simply say that forgiveness will come, though – as in the story – there is some question of how foolish we actually were to cling to our 'chaste' status.
Sometimes righteously virtuous simply doesn't work as a human.
That Scheat is getting paid a visit by asteroid House as all this happens suggests that events of the day happen in the home, affect our feelings of 'being at home' in whatever measure – or that there is an overall bad reaction (Scheat) from/to something having to do with housing.
Sounds socio-economic, if you ask me. (I know, you didn't. But it is my blog…)
With House entering Aries a day after it visits Scheat is a quick move to rectify something. What? As with what Scheat and House would represent in your personal world that depends a lot on where these two objects are place for you natally. Scheat is going to be in late Pisces, it being a fixed star. But House could be anywhere.
If you want to look these things up, go to the sidebar link on getting a free chart and use the Serennu link. Cast your chart as a list (much easier to look at!) and if you're from a mm/dd/yy country, be sure to turn that around as Serennu is in Wales, where they use dd/mm/yy.
Probably the point here is that with the Sun conjuncting Mars by mundane transit on the 31st we have two principle figures of personal 'doing-ness' in prime 'doing' territory. Those who aren't doing, or who are frustrated by something being in their way – or who are even scrambled like an egg on the inside by hesitancy or personal indecision…such people are likely to be testy, snippy, insistent and highly prone to criticism.
Remember that old slogan them that cannot do, teach? (otherwise known as 'everyone's a critic')? This is a nicer way of saying that those who aren't in gear using their resources to fulfill their own Purpose, those who have traded dutiful busyness for a life which builds towards achievement…they're going to be feeling stressed.
And if you know these people like I know these people, they have no issue with trying to make their stress your stress.
My suggestion, be nice. Sympathize for a moment, express your faith that they will figure out what they need to do – then get the heck on with what you're doing in your own life. Sacrificing your Purpose for someone who refuses to be purposeful is to fall prey to the Kallisto/Taurus sacrifice of self.
Not a good idea. Not now, and hardly ever since you can't be a good You unless you are happy with the You you are really being.
But maybe more to the practical point is how this Sun 'pressing towards' Mars by degree and transit - in Aquarius - stresses things social and societal. It creates buzz and we shouldn't be surprised if some new 'buzzword' pops up about now.
Sign of corporations, social systems and income (between which there is an obvious dotted line), these end days of January may be frustrating in some ways and real 'live wires' in others. All things electrical are "stressed" here - and I do mean 'stressed' in every sense of the word.
As an air sign, Aquarius is very big on the 'idea' of the thing. As one of three 'two-part' (twin ruler) signs, Aquarius, no matter what symbol is transiting it, challenges us to understand the idea of the thing ...but then not just linger in the conceptual.
That's hard. It's hard for many - in many a way and for many an obtuse-sounding reason. And though patience is what we may have the least of during some of these days, it may be exactly the test at hand.
Remember - zodiac signs represent not just the 'flavor' of what's coming at us, but what we are being tested by...in ourselves!
So though being understanding and taking the time to comprehend and think things through may be the last thing you want to do - it may be exactly what gets you where you want to go, providing that you actually will require of yourself that you get to it and go somewhere.
Life is in some ways such an irony! But hey, seeing as the option is not really anything to contemplate, let's all try to use the great Aquarian virtues of unification, tolerance, humor and the ability to learn from our differences. It will probably pay great dividends.
And if not...? Well, at least with tolerance and humor we will happily weather these days ahead. Giggle wisely!

The Romans were one of the most powerful fighting forces on earth! They had brilliant tactics, weapons, knowledge and skills. Lets hope you do too as you'll become a Roman soldier. Deploy your own tactics and skills on this map as it tests you. Follow and complete orders 1 to 5 and play through a epic quest.
The map, a Roman soldier skin, the trailer and 3 screen shots. All of which took time and effort to put together and we hope that you enjoy playing the map!
There is 5 orders to carry out and each one increases in difficulty so should take a bit longer to complete. Also it depends if you decide to burn the forts or leave them. But the map should take 30-45 minutes.
Thank you for downloading our map and we hope you enjoy. We look forward to your feedback good or bad as bad helps us improve and well... it's always good to get positive back! So Thank you once again.
Awful. The grammar was shoddy, the directions were barely useful (just use North, South, East, and West next time) and the ending was anticlimactic.
It left me empty and angered.
0 ibecharlie Me and my friend have uploaded a YouTube mini series playing this map! Give it a watch here. Maybe subscribe if you enjoy?
+6 MrElectr1c Good map! Needs more buildings not just some tents. Make a coliseum or something that relates more to the romans. the ending would've been amazing if the battle actually happened and u were to lead it. cant wait to play the second one!
-1 L4Z3_ZX9 I really liked this map it was awesome but it was a bit hard, and i fixed it. ThatMinecraftFe elin.. Good job to you and i will probably play another map of you!

Australian Gold Award holder Melanie Tran explains how the Award enabled others to see her differently.
"The 6th of March 2014 is a day I will never forget. It was the day where I was recognised for my ability and not my disability. It was the day where I received The Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award.
From the very first day when I started my Bronze Award (I was the first person to complete my Bronze Award through Muscular Dystrophy New South Wales (MDNSW)), I wanted to go right through to the Gold Award. It was a promise I secretly made to myself but I didn't know if it was possible; I didn't know if I would be able to take on such a big challenge.
A lot of people said I couldn't do it because I'm in a wheelchair and that I wouldn't succeed. I wanted to prove them wrong and show them that having a disability doesn't mean you have to sit around and watch everyone else fulfil their dreams. And I did prove it to them; I completed all three Award levels and took on a new challenge for each one. And through that I found hope.
For my Gold Award I updated the website for MDNSW as part of the Service section. For my Skills section I completed an online training course on a product design programme called Creo and I also learnt about film production and editing videos. As a direct result of my Service section I have been employed by Muscular Dystrophy NSW as their web administrator. I am responsible for adding new events, news articles, flyers and brochures on to the website as well as keeping everything up to date. I was absolutely thrilled when MDNSW was willing to give me a chance to work with them. Most of all, I'm glad I can do something for MDNSW after all the amazing opportunities they give me.
With thanks to Muscular Dystrophy New South Wales and The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Australia.
The Award in Australia and Muscular Dystrophy NSW have partnered to offer young people with this disorder the chance to set goals and achieve their dreams by participating in the Award.
Muscular Dystrophy is a neuromuscular, genetic disorder which results in the progressive deterioration of muscle strength and function.

Demand is growing for child charity KidsCan's help as it works to feed and clothe Kiwi kids.
KidsCan warehouse and distributor supervisor Aroha and Edmonton Primary School principal Margaret Samson joined The Am Show on Thursday for a carpool interview about the issues they face.
Aroha says she's never seen so many people who need aid.
"This term I think we've done 1.5 million items, which when I started was nowhere near the quantities," she told host Duncan Garner.
"It just gets bigger and more needy… It's not something that you want to celebrate."
Ms Samson says the work KidsCan does makes a huge difference.
"As far as KidsCan goes, they make a huge difference, and being able to allow our children to feel better about coming to school with shoes, they have no more sore feet," Ms Samson told host Duncan Garner.
"They're warm and dry and able to come to schools."

Being an inspector equipped with a highly advance thermal camera I have been called upon to find quite a few leaks.
Leaks can be very frustrating and challenging. Our modern, climate controlled, super insulated and immaculately finished homes do not respond well to storm water on interior surfaces. Window sills swell, drywall turns brown, and wood floors crack. How rude it is when Mother Nature invites herself into the world we control.
A very interesting pattern has developed after a few dozen, "….help me find where this leak is coming from," calls. A majority of the calls that were related to storm water had three significant things I common: the leakage could be noted in a window opening, the window was on the south side of the home and the siding was a lap type.
With properly installed flashing homes should not leak. However it is nearly impossible to ensure contractors install something properly especially if it is above and beyond those minimum building standards some call 'codes'. Caulking is always a good first line of defense but if the openings are flashed properly, caulking should not even be needed to keep the home water tight.
Before all of our modern, space aged materials it was common knowledge to crack open a leeward window in windy and wet conditions. With a modern understanding of hydro-dynamics we now understand that when wind hits a home a low pressure vortex is actually created inside the home. This means that in windy, wet conditions water is not necessarily blown-in but pulled-in. When the window on the leeward side of the home is cracked open, the pressures are able to equalize. Many intermittent leaks can be slowed, stopped or completely prevented.
If you do have a leak around a window or door, your flashing is not adequate and should be repaired. This can potentially mean thousands of dollars. In the mean time, if the wind is blowing rain at your home, try cracking a window on the other side of the home.


While God was executing His judgment against the Pharaoh, the Egyptians, and their gods, God made a distinction between His people and His enemies. Sure, at the start, the Egyptian magicians were able to turn water into blood (Ex. 7:22), and brought frogs on the land (Ex. 8:7). But the time came where God displayed His mighty power that Moses wasn't just a wizard, and the Deity Moses served was no impressive demon or demiurge. The Lord God did not permit the magicians to counterfeit His work any longer (v. 8). Furthermore, in the fourth plague of flies, He set a distinction between the lands.
The Exodus was, and to an extent still is, the quintessential act of deliverance for God's people. The Ten Commandments are prefaced with the identification: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery." (Ex. 20:2) The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of that act, for in it the Lamb of God and Firstborn Son shed His blood and became a whole burnt offering for the forgiveness of sins. Not to mention, all of these things took place against the backdrop of the Passover (Mark 14:1, Luke 22:7, John 19:14).
It should not be a surprise that the same God who caused His people to walk through the Red Sea on dry ground, who crushed the Serpent's head at the cross, and broke the unchallenged reign of death, would also mightily act for His people today. The accounts of old were written for our learning (Rom. 15:4), and are a visible manifestation of what He still does for those who are His sons through faith in Christ Jesus (Gal. 3:26). In the Exodus, He restrained those who mocked Him and despised His people, and He still does. They harden their hearts against God, and eventually "He gives them over to the evil lusts of their hearts." (Rom. 1:24) When it came to the flies, the Lord set apart His land and shielded it from the judgments against the hard-hearted Egyptians. In the same way, He shields us from the wrath which is waiting to be revealed (Rom. 2:5) by the blood of the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world.
We also wish that God would draw the lines thicker so we could see who's in, and who's out? Are we in or are we out? That's what the Jews did when it came to Samaritans—a whole nationality of unbelievers. Fantastic! Now we know who God is going to rain fire and brimstone on, and who He's going to shelter.
But God doesn't make it that simple for us, because the division isn't a visible boundary. Exodus 8:23 is translated, "I will make a difference between my people and your people." Well, in Hebrew it literally says, "I will set redemption between my people and your people." There's the difference—who has the redemption? Those who believe in Jesus Christ, the Redeemer. The boundary between the people of God and hypocrites is found in human hearts—which only God knows.
As the Redeemed, we have a special status before God. We have an access to Him that far exceeds anything money can buy or the right connections can get you. We have the heart and ear of the Almighty: "Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (Heb. 4:16) As a matter of fact, God does not hear and answer the prayers of unbelievers, no matter how pious their "thoughts and prayers" might be.
So, when it comes to the Lord's Prayer, it's not a magic formula to secure God's blessing. Instead, it's a list of promises God the Father gives through His Son. It's promises as powerful and sure as the plagues poured out against Egypt, and the voice which commands the unclean spirits and they obey.
Now, as we pray the Our Father—or really any time we come to God in faith—we are asking for Him to prevail. Let God be victorious and let His enemies perish. This is what we ask as we pray: Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done. We're praying that other names would be profaned and shown to be as weak as their owners. We pray that God's Kingdom of grace and glory would conquer the devil's kingdom so that men might be saved. We pray that everything on earth opposed to God's will would fail, and that God have His good and gracious way in spite of everything else.
When we pray, we must acknowledge that only God is 100% right. Everything in us is always subject to misunderstanding at best and corruption at worst. It's not only calling on God when problems are bigger than we can handle; it's calling on Him every moment because we can't live without His direction. We need to let God be right when we're embroiled in disagreements, when husbands and wives are facing divorce, when we're uncertain about the future. Only God is right and only His motives are pure. Only He knows the best solution for our future. So we bow our knees before Him and ask for Him to lead the way. Let God be God, and let us be His humble and obedient children. If we won't do this, and live without the assurance from Him, we might as well not pray and live like secular humanists.
In spite of our weak faith, and even before we had lifted a finger toward God, He reconciled us through the blood of His true, only-begotten Son. It's in Christ and through Christ that we have the access and blessing to call on God as our Father. Even when we falter in our prayers, may God continue to work His good purpose for us and for all who hold to Christ.
Today, during the Prayer of the Church, we are going to take some much-needed time with each petition of the Our Father. Luther called this prayer the greatest martyr of the Church because of how it's rattled off. Lord, forgive us our many trespasses, especially for treating your Word as something to be "gotten through." And just as surely as He set redemption between His people and all others, He is ready and willing to answer the prayer of faith. Amen.

Since today would be yet another with no ice cream production, I decided to trash patrol the Concord River from Egg Rock down to Fox Island. You won't find an island by this name on any map, but I believe the island pictured at left is the one so named by Henry David Thoreau and his brother John after they spent a night camping on it back in 1839.
They had reached this point after rowing about 7 miles from the village of Concord. Their journey ultimately took them to near Concord, New Hampshire and became the basis for Henry's first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers.
After lunch it was "All Aboard" and we began our trip back to Egg Rock.
Arriving back at Egg Rock I unloaded today's catch of 42 pieces of trash. There were 27 recyclable containers (7 redeemable) and 15 pieces of miscellaneous trash such as the Igloo cooler, plastic bags, and nip bottles. YTD total stands at 2596.
It was probably just as well no ice cream was made today as it would have been pretty tough to keep it from melting in the 95 + degree heat!

Zenoss is a company that develops hybrid IT monitoring analytics software for visibility in cloud , virtual and physical IT environments. Zenoss is also the name of this company's software. Historically, Zenoss was considered a commercial open source software company, but it has since moved to a continuous delivery hybrid IT monitoring platform. Zenoss offers its monitoring analytics through the following software: open source Zenoss Core, enterprise-level Service Dynamics and the hosted Zenoss as a Service (ZaaS).
Zenoss is agentless, and it uses a collector tool to gather system data and relay it to a central server via a portal for analysis. For example, a collector on a monitored server stores and sends data through the web portal to Zenoss for processing and analytics of server operating metrics, which are compared to normal ranges.
The number of collectors in use can range from just a few to several hundred, depending upon the user and their goals.Zenoss products can monitor upward of 8,000 systems, including diverse technology stack components, such as servers, storage, OSes, cloud, converged infrastructure, middleware, hypervisors, networks and databases.
ZenPacks are plug-ins that enable users to extend Zenoss' functionality. ZenPacks use standard API protocols, such as Simple Network Management Protocol, Secure Shell and Windows Remote Management (WinRM). With ZenPacks, a user can extend monitoring as Service Dynamics, ZaaS or Core collects configuration information and monitors specific elements, devices, systems and workloads.
Zenoss Core and Service Dynamics are wholly containerized software, so the software is deployed in a Docker image. ZaaS is a hosted SaaS product, so it is not installed by the user.
Zenoss Core is an open source monitoring platform for IT infrastructures. Core monitors the availability of network devices, network services and host resource OSes, including Microsoft Windows. Core lacks the range of monitoring abilities in Service Dynamics and ZaaS, offers no support and limits user accounts. Core monitors from 500 to 1,000 services. It is paired with a web interface, which shows availability, configurations, performance and events. Management options include events and automatic discovery notifications through an alerting system.
Some Core users rely on it to test the Zenoss UI and capabilities before paying for Service Dynamics or a ZaaS subscription. With limitations in scalability, Core has a low number of possible collectors. Because Core has fewer features and less flexibility than Service Dynamics and ZaaS, it is less often used for full IT infrastructure monitoring. For example, Core is a suitable choice if a user needs to monitor the connections between network services at a small scale. More commonly, users deploy Core as a way to create ZenPacks.
Zenoss Service Dynamics and ZaaS have the same monitoring capabilities, but differ in service delivery.
Service Dynamics is Zenoss' on-premises commercial monitoring platform. Service Dynamics monitors most areas of IT infrastructure, including in dynamic environments. Service Dynamics also monitors Microsoft Azure and AWS public cloud services, and it provides analytics and root cause analysis for cloud and virtual and unified communications. ZenPacks create scalability in Service Dynamics to extend and customize monitoring capabilities.
The SaaS offering ZaaS is Zenoss' fastest-growing product. ZaaS offers the same monitoring abilities as Service Dynamics, but the user is not required to download and install updates or upgrades. Zenoss sells ZaaS on a subscription basis, and it does not require hardware to run the monitoring platform, such as an on-premises server or storage space. ZaaS and Service Dynamics share similar uptimes; however, because ZaaS is managed, it takes less effort to implement and maintain than Service Dynamics.
Four types of ZenPacks are available: commercial, community, open source and subscription. Commercial ZenPacks are supported by ZaaS and Service Dynamics. Community ZenPacks are user-created and open source, and they tend to focus on specific technologies or functionality extensions for Core, Service Dynamics or ZaaS. Open source ZenPacks are Zenoss-created and support traditional IT technologies, such as server , storage and network monitoring devices. Zenoss also offers ZenPacks to integrate with container management tools, such as Docker. Subscription-based ZenPacks are professional service integration packages that Zenoss maintains.
Hundreds of ZenPacks are available from Zenoss and the tool's users. Some users rely on Core to create ZenPacks to use in Service Dynamics or ZaaS.
Zenoss competitors include Datadog and ScienceLogic, as well as Nagios and Zabbix.
Datadog is a monitoring software service for IT and DevOps teams that works in real time and gives alerts. Datadog also integrates with other services, such as communication platform Slack. Datadog is focused more on application monitoring than the deep infrastructure monitoring for which tools such as Zenoss are known.
ScienceLogic provides a cloud-focused monitoring system that also includes IT management capabilities. This software can manage private, public and multi-cloud, as well as networks, storage, hardware and hypervisors.
Zabbix and Nagios are infrastructure monitoring tools that cover a similar range of IT components -- from networks and servers to the hypervisor and OS -- as Zenoss. IT organizations should consider agent-based and agentless options, extensibility and other factors in the monitoring tool selection process.
Are agent-based or agentless IT monitoring tools better?
Who in the organization should have access to IT monitoring tool data?

Savannah Farewell: Part 4: A Woman's Perspective
© Stephen Davidson, UE
Thanks to the memoir that Elizabeth Lichtenstein (or Lightenstone) Johnston wrote for her grandchildren in 1836 we have both an eye-witness account of loyalist life in Georgia during the American Revolution and a female perspective on the events of the war.
Elizabeth moved to Savannah, Georgia when she was just ten years old. Following the death of his wife, Elizabeth's father, Johann Lichtenstein (a Russian immigrant) sent her into the city to attend one of its finest schools and to learn embroidery from her great-aunt.
In February of 1776, one of the family slaves made sure that Elizabeth's father escaped violence at the hands of rebels, allowing him to escape to the safety of the H.M.S. Scarborough, a British warship. The ship departed for Halifax, leaving Elizabeth behind in Savannah. Thanks to guidance from her grandfather, Elizabeth succeeded in saving her family's property from Patriot confiscation by presenting a petition to the local board of commissioners. Perhaps they were moved by the fact that the petitioner was just 12 years old. Elizabeth remembered, "One or two cases besides mine show that they did give the property to wives and children whose husbands and fathers had been forced away as mine had been."
And so the American Revolution began for young Elizabeth with the forced absence of her loyalist father and her involvement in a scheme to save the family's property. She would later remember mobs of armed men forcing everyone to make public oaths of allegiance to the new republic. The consequences for standing up in support of King George III were grave.
Violence against Savannah's loyalists was as near as the view from Elizabeth's window. "If a Tory refused to join the people, he was imprisoned, and tarred and feathered. This was a terrible indignity, the poor creature being stripped naked, tarred all over, and then rolled in feathers. I might once, if I would have gone to the window, have seen a poor man carried all over the town with the mob around him, in such a plight, but the idea was too dreadful. He was an inoffensive man, a British pilot.
In the closing months of 1778, Col. Campbell and 3,000 troops (including Captain William Johnston, Elizabeth's future husband) marched into Georgia. Elizabeth's father served the British commander as guide and advisor as to how best to approach Savannah. Elizabeth recalled, "The town was taken without loss, though the Americans as they retreated wantonly fired on the 71st Regiment of Highlanders, without attempting a regular stand. This exposed the inhabitants to the fury of the British soldiers, who then felt as though they were taking the place by storm. In consequence, before the officers could have time to stop them they committed much outrage, ripped open feather beds, destroyed the public papers and records, and scattered everything about the streets."
With Savannah once more in British control, Elizabeth's father arranged to have her leave the family farm and come to the city. "I was then in my fifteenth year, and new to scenes of the kind, and having to stop within a mile of Savannah that the Hessian officer on duty there should examine our pass, I was dreadfully frightened. He soon allowed us to go on; and what a sight did the streets present of feathers and papers!"
While in Savannah, Elizabeth caught the eye of Johnston, a captain with the New York Volunteers. Both her father and aunt disapproved of the soldier's attentions to a girl who was not yet sixteen and thwarted Johnson's early attempts to court Elizabeth. When the New York Volunteers were ordered to sail for South Carolina, the budding romance seemed to be at an end.
Elizabeth had more immediate concerns. The Continental Army and the French navy launched a siege on Savannah in September of 1779. "They were opening their batteries, and constantly cannonading and throwing bomb shells. Fortunately, however, our men were encamped near the trenches, and these deadly shells went a distance over their heads. The streets being sandy and not paved, the shells fell and made great holes in the sand, which often put out the fuse and prevented explosion. Indeed, the colored children got so used to the shells that they would run and cover them with sand, and as we were rather scarce of ammunition they would often pick up the spent balls and get for them seven-pence apiece."
Women and children who managed to flee Savannah found refuge in barns and farm houses in the outlying countryside. When the fighting was over, British and loyalist soldiers once again had the time to court the local girls. And William Johnston made good use of the cessation in hostilities to renew his pursuit of Elizabeth Lightenstone.
The two Savannah loyalists were married on November 21, 1770. The groom was 25 and the bride was just 15. Their first year of married life was not an easy one. Since the seige of Savannah, Captain Johnston had been regularly travelling along the 130 mile long route between the beleaguered city and Augusta, Georgia, wearing himself to a frazzle delivering intelligence to the British garrison in the northeastern part of Georgia. Doctors recommended that William should go to New York for the sake of his health. Discovering that she was pregnant with their first child, Elizabeth accompanied her husband to Charleston to join Sir Henry Clinton's convoy. and then on an eight day journey to New York.
Eight days later, after a trip that she described as "very delightful", Elizabeth found herself in New York City, the headquarters for the British army in the rebellious colonies.
By the end of 1780, William rejoined his regiment and Elizabeth returned to Savannah. "I remained for some time in much anxiety for my husband's safety, as his regiment was in active service. Before my confinement he obtained leave, his regiment being then in quarters, to come for a short time to Savannah. My son, who was named Andrew … was born March 22, 1781. His father returned to Charleston soon after, and a few months later, from the enemy's troops coming near the town and rendering it unsafe to go many miles from it."
While pregnant with their second child, Elizabeth learned that Georgia's Loyalists and its British protectors would be leaving the colony. "Not many months after, Georgia was given up, and in July, 1782, Savannah was evacuated and the troops went to Charleston. Some of Mr. Johnston's early friends whom he knew at Philadelphia, one a Major Fishburne in the American army, who had an interview with him during a cessation of arms, requested him to leave me, and said I should have every kindness and protection and be secure in our house until I was fitter for moving. I knew my husband would not like the separation, and I positively refused to remain."
Over the course of the Revolution Elizabeth Lightenstone Johnston would pack up goods and children to live in Charleston, South Carolina, St. Augustine, Florida, Edinburgh, Scotland, Jamaica, and then — in 1806– Nova Scotia. No doubt such upheavals were the reason Elizabeth came to sign her letters to her husband William "your once truly happy, tho' now afflicted wife".

Loyalist James Allen's Reflection on the State of the Colonies
by George Kotlik, 18 February 2019
A councilman by profession, James Allen, esquire, lived in Philadelphia during the early years of the American Revolution. A man of considerable social prominence and stature within the colony, Allen held much influence. Indeed, the entire Allen family was held in high esteem, particularly since most of its members enjoyed positions of privilege and respect. Because of this, the position of this family during the Revolutionary tumult is an interesting one. The Allen family believed that an established form of government was necessary to safeguard against unrest; they were, however, also Americans and because of this they had much sympathy for the Revolutionary movement and the principals behind it. Despite this, the Allens would not support an armed uprising against the Crown; that was where they drew the line and it is there where their support shifted toward the British.
In his diary, James Allen recorded events he deemed noteworthy between 1770 and 1778. In the beginning of the diary, he stated the journal's purpose as being for the amusement of future readers as well as to serve as a medium of thought perseverance due to the writer's nature of forgetfulness concerning events of his past, something he regretted. The diary is riddled with private anecdotes surrounding the writer's life, such as the death of friends, noteworthy dinner guests, and personal ailments. The diary also holds first-person accounts regarding events surrounding the Revolutionary period.
Tartan and Pure Laine: British Governors of Quebec
by Louisa Blair, February/March 2005 issue of The Beaver, Canada's History magazine
Robbie Burns Night in Quebec City, 2004. A stalwart remnant of Quebec Scots brave the minus-thirty degree weather to make their way across town, including Quebec City's Fraser Highlanders regiment, sporting their kilts and hairy- and by the time they get there, hoary – bare knees.
A descendant of the first captain of the cold-kneed Fraser Highlanders, whose legendary fierceness won Quebec for the British in 1759, is toasting the haggis alongside descendants of a pure Iaine Quebecer, whose Scottish ancestor fled to France in the sixteenth century. The setting is the basement not of a Presbyterian but of a Catholic church, the stabbing of the haggis is fittingly blood curdling and the Litany of toasts is riotously bilingual.
What were Highland Scots doing fighting in the British army? What were the Scots doing in Quebec before the Conquest? And what impact did Scots have on the way the British treated their new subjects?
We tend to think of the Battle on the Plains of Abraham in 1759 resulting in the replacement of a French Catholic regime with an English Protestant one. But Quebec was conquered not by England but by Britain, an entity that had come into being only fifty-two years earlier, when the Act of Union brought Scotland into the fold.
The first three British governors of Quebec were not in fact the least bit representative of the rather homogeneous English public at all.The first was Scottish, the second was Irish, and the third was Swiss. They all understood the realities of ethnic diversity only too well, and how quickly and disastrously things can go wrong.
JAR: Bernard E. Griffiths: Trumpeter Barney of the Queen's Rangers, Chelsea Pensioner, and Freed Slave
by Todd W. Braisted on 21 February 2019
The period of the American Revolution does not afford many accounts of individual rank and file soldiers' exploits, particularly on the side British side. The filing of some 80,000 pension applications in the United States makes it much easier to learn of a soldier's activities during the war, whether it be the mundane task of guard duty or the dangers of battle. There was no equivalent pension for British or Provincial veterans. The British method of reward was meant for long-serving or wounded soldiers of the army. Those so "recommended" received the benefit of the Chelsea Hospital in London, where a veteran could be an out-pensioner and simply receive a stipend living somewhere on his own, or an in-pensioner, residing at the hospital, complete with rations, clothing and lodging. Pensioners could also be called upon again for military service, typically in "invalid companies" serving in a fortress or garrison town somewhere in Great Britain, and typically for a limited duration.
In addition to soldiers of the established regiments of the British Army, Chelsea also admitted militia, new-raised British corps (regiments raised after the start of the war and disbanded at its conclusion) and in some cases Provincials (regiments raised in America consisting primarily of Loyalists). Scattered among the pensioners were a small number of Provincial soldiers, including twenty-two men of the Queen's Rangers. Ten more of the Rangers were admitted over the next five years.
The Queen's Rangers was one of the first Provincial regiments raised in the New York City area upon the arrival of the British forces there in July 1776. The corps was initially commanded by Lt. Col. Robert Rogers, the famed ranger commander from the French and Indian War.
The Provincials were to be paid, armed, clothed, fed and disciplined in the same manner as the Regulars, which led Innes to observe on March 14, 1777: "Negroes, Mulattoes, Indians and Sailors, have been enlisted, shall they be discharged, and orders given none in future be admitted?" The answer was an unequivocal yes, commanding they "be discharged and none to be hereafter enlisted on any account."
For the Queen's Rangers, this was just one in a series of events that completely altered the corps late that winter. Unhappy with Robert Rogers and the bulk of his officers, Alexander Innes, with the blessing of the commander in chief of the British Army in America, Sir William Howe, set about replacing Rogers and his officers. Among those affected was Capt. Robert Cook, one of the ousted officers, and his men, apparently all black. The point may have been virtually moot, if a deserter's description from March 2, 1777 was accurate: "Captn. Cook's Company of Negroes are (all but three or four) dead."
They set sail in April 1780 to take part in the final stages of the Siege of Charleston, South Carolina. In addition to fine dining, Simcoe and his men secured several black slaves from the plantations and ranks of the enemy. "I understand Mrs. Elliot is to apply to the Comr. in Chief for four Negro boys now with the Queens Rangers, & I think it necessary to explain to this matter," Simcoe once again wrote to André, continuing "The Boys are Taylors & Musicians, & are at this time clothed in the Rebel Artillery Uniform, which her Husband commanded." This was no doubt a reference to the late Lt. Col. Barnard Elliott, commander of the 4th South Carolina Regiment, an artillery unit.
The Junto: My Experience at OxEARS 2019
By Adam McNeil, 22 February 2019
2019 began with a bang when I traveled across the pond to become the first graduate student studying in the U.S. to present at the University of Oxford's Early American Republic Seminar (OxEARS).
To my surprise, there were around a dozen people present to see me elaborate on my pre-circulated paper entitled "Fear of a Negro Revolt: Southern Patriot Fears of Black Rebellion."
I drew inspiration for the work and its understanding of how fears of self-emancipating enslaved people fleeing to the British from my seminar reading and later presentation on Julius Scott's recently published dissertation The Common Wind: Afro-American Currents in the Age of the Haitian Revolution. My central question focused on how and why runaways during the time of the American Revolution, especially in the lead up to and aftermath of Dunmore's Proclamation, helped push southern patriots forward to proclaim independence.
Ben Franklin's World: Making the State of South Carolina
Ryan Quintana, an Associate Professor of History at Wellesley College and the author of Making a Slave State: Political Development in Early South Carolina, joins us to investigate the creation and development of early republic South Carolina.
During our investigation, Ryan reveals what we mean by "space" and how space relates to the study of history; The ways in which Black Carolinians helped to secure South Carolina's independence; And, how enslaved men and women built the State of South Carolina and used its spaces for their own ends.

Gerry Thomas
It is with great sadness that the family announces Gerry's passing at his home in Cowansville, on January 30, 2019, at the age of 85 (born 1933), beloved husband of 60 years to Marjorie Mason Thomas, who passed away 11 days earlier.
Gerry began working at Bruck Mills at the age of 19. Bruck was sold and renamed Consoltex where he retired as Director of Finance after 45 years. He was committed to many different community organizations. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, a proud grandpa, and a caring brother. Family and friends were very important to him.
Gerry was a supportive dad to his daughters Daphne (Jamie) and Paula (David). He will also be lovingly remembered by his 3 grandchildren Liam, Jessica and Matthew, by his sister Margaret and his 2 brothers-in-law Wayne (Louise) and Winston (Eileen), as well as many other relatives, loved ones and friends.
Family will receive condolences at Complexe funéraire BROME-MISSISQUOI, 402 rue de la Rivière, Cowansville, J2K 1N3 450 266-6061 on Friday, February 8, 2019 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. A Masonic service will take place at 7 p.m. The funeral service will take place at: Holy Trinity Anglican Church, 222 Chemin d'Iron Hill, Lac-Brome, J2K 3G8 on Saturday, February 9, 2019 at 2 p.m.
Thank you to family and friends who were so supportive to Dad when help was needed.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to an organization of your choice. Condolences may also be sent online at www.complexebm.com.
Gerald was a long-time member of the Sir John Johnson Branch, UELAC. Although he and I (Michel Racicot) did extensive research together, we were unable to find a Loyalist ancestor for either of us.
Gerry served as Vice-President of the Branch from 2009 to 2012 and then until 2016 as President. Since 2016, he was our Past President, and recently in June 2018 he had also taken the position of Treasurer.

Response re Donald Daniel McCrimmon
I have done quite a bit of work on the 84th. My book of 1985 (revised/reprinted 2005 & 2017) – The Young Emigrants & Craigs of the Magaguadavic summarizes it all. A copy is at UELAC HQ in Toronto, NLC in Ottawa and a several libraries here in the Maritimes.
It covers the early history of the Royal Highland Emigrants, 1775-1783; The Unit was taken on as a regular British Regiment in 1779 and named the 84th Regiment. My main thrust was the Second Battalion which served in Atlantic Canada, NY, & the Carolinas. The First Battalion served in Quebec, Ontario, & parts of NY State, etc. The Officers of both Battalions are included in the book along with all the men,(all ranks) of the 2nd Battalion.
Unfortunately your Donald Dean MCCRIMMON did not serve in the 2nd Bn., He probably served in the 1st, – I do not have a listing of the men of the 1st. There are good records, Muster Rolls, etc in Ontario which you should check. If I can help further, please drop me a note. Also, I will be interested in your results. Good Luck.

Response re John Faddle m. Sarah Buck and David, Hiram and Peter Ferrel
John Faddle is the same person as the Loyalist John Farrell. He was born in Ireland and married Sarah (Sally) Buck in Sorel, Richelieu, Quebec. I have their marriage record. Sarah was the daughter of a Loyalist named Samuel Buck, so this lineage has two proven Loyalist ancestors. They had six children, five of whom survived.
This Farrell family was always Protestant, mainly Methodist, and is to be distinguished from an Irish Catholic Farrell family who lived nearby in Ontario across the Ottawa River. There is no connection between them.
David Farrell who married Philomena Bowen, Hiram Farrell who married Nancy Bowen, and Peter Farrell who married Martha Buell or Bull (she was French, they were married in Montreal) — these three were brothers, sons of Samuel Farrell and Cynthia B Garnsey. Samuel and Cynthia had thirteen children, many of which have been traced. Several of them or their children moved to the U.S.A.

Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a wedding florist might look like?
Well, today I'm taking you behind the scenes at Daisy Lane Floral Design. From loading up the van to delivering the bride's bouquet, this is what usually happens on a busy wedding day.
Arriving bright and early at my studio, I start by making all the buttonholes. To ensure they look their best, they're always freshly made on the morning of your wedding.
The bridal and bridesmaid bouquets need to be bound with ribbon around the stems. Then they're sprayed and carefully packaged with layers of tissue paper inside a pretty gift bag ready to be delivered.
As soon as the flowers are ready, everything is packed safely in the van. This wedding featured tall candelabras and large arrangements that all needed to be loaded in.
On this occasion, my first job after emptying the van at Clevedon Hall was to secure the large arrangements to the candelabra stands. Once I'd added candles, I placed one at the centre of each table.
Next, I started decorating the top table. The couple had chosen a long floral runner which I made in sections. After positioning it carefully at the front of the table, I was able to add the final foliage and flowers.
At this wedding, each place setting was decorated with a single lisianthus flower tied with blush ribbon around the menu and napkin. Just before I took the bouquets up to the bride, I decorated the couple's tower of cheese with wired flowers.
It's always such a special experience to deliver the bouquets to the bride. I love seeing her reaction to the flowers.
Once all the flowers are in place and the bride has her bouquet, it's time to leave. I usually return to the venue the following day to collect any hired items.
So, that's a day in the life of a wedding florist! As you can see, it isn't simply about playing with pretty flowers, although that does feature quite heavily!

The late August Monday public holiday traditionally marks the end of summer in the UK and, after a very light period for opinion polling, the pollsters are straight back into action today with twin surveys issued by YouGov and ICM.
Both show that the minority ruling Conservatives and the opposition Labour Party are running neck and neck, tied on 42 per cent with ICM and within one point of each with YouGov. There is practically no change for the struggling smaller parties as the big two continue to hoover up 83-84 per cent voting intentions between them. Notably a change of leadership for the third-placed Liberal Democrats has yet to help them make a real polling impact.
Perhaps the most interesting point about the figures is made by YouGov in a commentary, which recalls that Labour led by some eight points in its first survey immediately after the shock June General Election results. Labour's gentle summer decline will hardly worry the party, however, as the Conservatives continue to be deeply on the defensive in the face of difficult Brexit negotiations and leadership doubts.
On the latter question, Prime Minister Theresa May continues to lead Labour's Jeremy Corbyn in YouGov's 'best Prime Minister' rankings. However her advantage is narrow at 37 to 33 per cent, and a far cry from her enormous pre-election leads. A quite high 31 per cent of respondents are unsure whom to choose.
