YARNTON, George Swinnerton

Amateur church musician, solicitor

Born ? 1814
Active Sydney, NSW, by 1836
Died Surry Hills, NSW, 17 April 1883, aged 69

YARNTON, George William

Organist, choirmaster (St. Stephen's Macquarie Street, 1883-1890), ironmonger, composer

Born Newtown, NSW, 1842
Died Newtown, NSW, 1912

Summary (after Peter Meyer, 2011):

George William was born in Newtown in 1842. In 1863, George William Yarnton & Co, Ironmongers had premises at 44 Market Street. He was organist at St John's, Ashfield (1869-78) where he then lived, and entered the first Sydney Organ Competition just before his thirtieth birthday in 1872. In 1889 he was elected secretary of the Summer Hill Choral Union at its foundation. He advertised for sale a Richard Lipp piano in 1887, but it seems not to have been sold, because it was listed in his deceased estate in 1912. In 1902 he claimed the qualification ALCM (Associate of the London College of Music). In 1904 Yarnton attended the civic welcome for the famous blind British organist, Alfred Hollins.

"To the Editor", The Australian (7 October 1836), 2

SIR, - With reference to an article in your paper of Tuesday last respecting an Oratorio Ticket, alledged to have been obtained by me in a clandestine manner, I beg leave to state that this is not the fact, but I had one given to me by an intimate friend of G. S. Yarntons, (a clerk in Mr. O'Riley's office) and that on the following morning the money was offered him and refused, but has since been paid to the Committee ... I am, Sir, your most obedient Servant, G. S. BUCKLAND.

"THE AUSTRALIAN PSALMIST", The Sydney Morning Herald (24 September 1856), 8

The first part of the "Australian Psalmist," a collection of Psalm and Hymn tunes, edited by Mr. G. S. Yarnton, has just been published by Messrs. Johnson and Co. We annex the editor's preface, which fully explains the nature and objects of the work: The editor of this small Tune Book has, during many years, been deeply interested in sacred music - he attaches a very high value to the exercise of praise as a part of public worship - in his opinion, nothing can atone for its absence, or for its inefficient performance, indeed, the whole of the service must be comparatively spiritless without energetic and effective singing. These remarks are obvious, and require no confirmation. The editor may be asked, "why issue another book of tunes, since there are so many now in existence which are acknowledged to be excellent?" His reply is, that some of these books are in advance of most of our ordinary congregations, and that it is not easy to find in any one book tunes suitable for the numerous peculiar metres found in several of the Hymn Books. The editor thought that he could select from various sources a limited number of tunes which would meet the necessities of any ordinary congregation, and (besides a few short anthems, and some chaunts) it did not seem to him that more than about a hundred, including peculiar metres, were called for. He intends to avoid tunes containing fugue passages, as not consistent with the simplicity and solemnity of public worship, and as otherwise objectionable. Should this humble attempt to pro- mote the cultivation and improvement of the "Service of Song in the House of the Lord" be successful, his object will be secured. He submits his little work to the candour of the Christian public and to the blessing of God.

"The Parramatta Model Band", The Cumberland Argus (26 October 1895), 4

An interesting presentation in connection with the Parramatta Model Band, took place on Saturday evening, when Mr. John York, junior, of Regent street, Sydney, was presented with an illuminated address from the band in recognition of the assistance he had at various times rendered. The address was a masterpiece from the brush of Mr. A. Tetley, of Granville. In one corner was a representation of the little bandstand in Alfred Square, and opposite was a lyre and at the top of the scroll were several bars of the music of "He's a Jolly Good Fellow." The address read as follows: - "To John York, junior, Sydney. Dear sir, we, the members of the Parramatta Model Band, recognising the many favors we have been the recipients of from you, our generous benefactor, have much pleasure in tendering our sincerest thanks for the great assistance you have from time to time placed at our disposal, with that unselfish and open hand and heart which denote the true philanthropist. It is our earnest desire that you may continue to be encompassed with health, happiness, and every success in business. Signed on behalf of the Parramatta Model Band, R. Albury, hon. Sec., October 19, 1895." On leaving the train at Redfern the band struck up and played up to Mr. York's door. Then the presentation was made by Bandmaster O'Shea and the recipient feelingly responded. The visitors were then escorted to Mr. York's band-room where they spent a merry evening. The presentation was arranged on the quiet, and Mr. York was completely taken by surprise.

"EASTER FESTIVAL", The Cornwall Chronicle (26 April 1838), 2

The most attractive entertainment in the District, on Monday, was the Grand Festival, at the new building near St. Joseph's Church, intended for the use of the Catholic Schools. It having been intimated that, in addition to the "creature comforts" provided for the occasion, there would be a treat of no ordinary character for the votaries of good music - vocal and instrumental - and that the profits of the Festival would be devoted to the School Building Fund ... During tbe evening, there was likewise a pleasing variety of vocal performances, which elicited much applause ... Mr. Yorkey's bass solo, "the Wolf," was deservedly encored. His powers of intonation are well-known, and he must be a very serviceable member of St. Joseph's choir. In the several glees, too, Mr. Yorkey, as also a little boy (McIvre) of verypromising musical talent, rendered valuable assistance. "The Red Cross Knights," "Of all the Brave Birds," and a glee and chorus "Come unto those Yellow Sands," were sung in a very pleasing style, as was also the finale, "God save the Queen." Mr. Leffler presided at tbe piano-forte, with his accustomed ability ...

DANSE LA POLKA . . . MR. & MRS. YOUNG feel great pleasure in announcing to the Ladies, Gentlemen, and Families of Hobart Town, &c, that they have just received from Mr. BARON NATHAN, (one of the most eminent professors of Dancing in London) a complete and accurate analysis of the last new POLKA COTILLON and QUADRILLES, the whole of which (in addition to the original POLKA) will be taught at their Establishment; as also will the NEW BOHEMIAN POLKA, "REDOWA" and "KALAMAIKA" . . . those who may honour them with their patronage, they may rely with confidence upon being taught the TRUE POLKA, precisely in the same style as it is now danced by the elite of England and France in the saloons of London and Paris. "Dancing contributes in a most essential degree to the preservation of health. Children weak and feeble in limb, will by this exercise imperceptibly acquire new vigour; on the other hand, when the pupil is healthy and strong, the practice of dancing will retain and encrease his strength. The early moulding of the body to the most polished attitudes, lends to youth the graceful carriage of mature age; and ease of manners once attained in early life, it is impossible to lose in after years." . . .

They have both undergone a very marked improvement since then, however, and now combine talents as dancers, which are quite refreshing after the way in which we have been dosed with the Chambers family, with a proficiency in light comedy parts, which we have rarely seen equalled in votaries of Terpsichore.

Tha attractions of "La Traviata" and the indisputable claims of M. Emile Coulon to the most favorable consideration of the musical community, last night filled the Theatre Royal in every part, and procured for the dress circle almost unexampled brilliancy. Making every allowance for the difficulties attending the production of the opera, in consequence of the dispersion of most of the members of the old company, "La Traviata" was placed on the stage with reasonable completeness and success. The principal parts were sustained by Miss Octavia Hamilton (Violetta Valery), Mrs. F. Younge (Alfred Germont), and M. Emile Coulon (George Grermont). To Miss Hamilton it is due to state that, considering her imperfect knowledge of the stage, she was eminently successful in her impersonation, while to Mrs. F. Younge credit is equally assignable for the adroit manner in which she sustained a part wholly uusuited to the character of her voice. The chorus was necessarily thin, especially in the soprano parts. The band was full and effective, and the conduct of the whole devolved upon Herr Siede, whose abilities in this line have never been properly known or appreciated. At the close of the performance, Mr. F. Younge announced that on Saturday evening the opera would be repeated, for the benefit of Miss Octavia Hamilton.

They have engaged a strong company - such a one, we venture to say, as has not been seen in Sydney for some time. Mr. Younge and his wife are a host in themselves; and our Irish friends who have heard their talented countrywoman's singing will readily agree with us that they have never heard a better singer of Irish songs than Mrs. Younge. She has got the exquisite feeling and tenderness that alone can render Irish songs as they ought to be rendered - in their pure and sublime simplicity. In comic songs, she has that delicious brogue that none but a true Irishwoman can possess ...

"THE LATE MR. FREDERICK YOUNGE", Western Daily Press (9 December 1870), 4

LATE MR FREDERICK YOUNGE. The sad fate this excellent actor whose untimely death have had to deplore, through the disastrous results of the terrible accident which occurred last Tuosday on the line of the North Eastern Railway, has created a very painful sensation. More especially do his professional brethren mourn the withdrawal from their ranks of one who had deservedly gained a prominent position before the public, but whose worth in private life could only appreciated by those with whom he was most intimately associated. It was only on the preceding evening that, as manager of a company Loudon artists, expressly organised for the performance of Mr. T. W. Robertson's comedies the provinces, he had commenced a series of representations at Sunderland; and for Manchester, the next place to be visited on his tour, he was making arrangements at the time. Frederick George Younge was the son of Mr. Richard Younge, an actor who for many years filled with great credit a very responsible position at Drury Lane Theatre, and who died about twenty-four years ago. Mr Frederick Younge's theatrical career may dated from that time. Having played comedy parts with great credit at most of the country theatres, he came to London, and was engaged by Messrs. Phelps and Greenwood for Sadler's Wells, where he made his first appearance August 29, 1849, as the principal grave-digger in "Hamlet." Accepting a lucrative engagement for the colonies, Mr. Frederick Younge remained for several years Australia, where he became highly popular both as actor and manager. Returning to this country in the summer of 1865, he soon after appeared at the Olympic ... As a manager, his conduct earned the respect all with whom he had business relations, and as an actor the finished excellence of a style which was easily marked by freshness of manner and ripeness of judgment never failed to be warmly appreciated by the audience. A perfect gentleman in heart, gallant in his nature, and genial and pleasant to all who knew him, "Fred Younge " will long be remembered with affection by many sincere sorrowing friends.

"FUNERAL of MR. FREDERICK G. YOUNGE", Era (18 December 1870), 11

On the afternoon of the 9th inst. the remains of Mr. Frederick G. Younge, who was killed in the fearful railway catastrophe at Brockley Whins, were interred at the Elswick Cemetery, Newcastle ... The widow of the unfortunate gentleman accompanied by Mr. Frank Younge, one of his brothers, and Mrs. Richard Younge arrived from London shortly afterwards. The grief of the bereaved family circle will be realised by many a sympathising heart, and in respectful silence we pass it by, but the terrible nature of the blow may be imagined from the following incident. The brothers, Messrs. Frederick Richard, and Frank Younge, have for years been separated by wide tracts of sea and land, Australia, England, and America having been the scene of their respective wanderings at different times. About ten days ago Mr. Frank Younge arrived in England from Australia, and for the first time for a very long period the three brothers fonud themselves in England at the same time. To celebrate the occasion it was resolved that during the Christmastide the "Caste" company should be treated to a holiday, and that the brothers should hold a great family reunion, in which they might enjoy the unwonted pleasure of each other's society without let or hindrance. How terribly the dream has been dispelled our readers will know ...

The description of the varied circumstances attendant upon the departure, the march, the halt, the muster, the exchange of farewells by the wife and husband, the embarkation, and the first charge, followed by a prayer, was admirably illustrated both vocally and instrumentally, and obtained an enthusiastic encore.

Mr. Montague Younger, Jun. At the Freemasons' ball, held at the Town Hall, Sydney, on July 27, a new waltz, composed by Mr. Montague Younger, jun., second son of the well-known organist and musician of this city, appeared in the programme. There has been a plethora of this class of dance music for the last few years In Sydney, although of the many candidates for public favor few are advanced to the stage of appearing in print, or obtain the coveted honor of being orchestrated by M. be Groen and played by his celebrated band. But this waltz is making an auspicious entry into public life. His Excellency Lord Beauchamp has permitted its dedication to himself, and the piece has been entitled "The Earl". It goes without saying that the composition is a meritorious one to have won its way thus far, and, as it is just being brought out by Messrs. Paling and Company,  musical people will soon have an opportunity of judging for themselves. Mr. Montague Younger, jun., is essentially a son of the soil-a veritable cornstalk as his father is himself a native of Sydney, being the second son of Mr. Younger, of stove-making fame, who came to New South Wales in the early days to open an ironmongery store in conjunction with Mr. Levick, who travelled with him from England, for the purpose. To believers in heredity, it is curious to note how this young composer's grandfather was himself a musician, finding time, when not engaged in his business, to play the 'cello. He also had a liking for organ music, presenting St. Thomas's Church, North Sydney, with its first instrument, a seraphim, when he held the position there of trustee and churchwarden, the other trustee being Mr. James Milson. Mr. Younger played this instrument himself for some time, his young sons singing in the choir, the second one (Montague) being later on promoted to the positon of organist when 10 years of age at a salary of £10 a year. Although intended for business, this juvenile organist eventually took up music as a profession in 1865, and after a short sojourn in Queensland, where he filled important musical positions, was appointed organist and choir master at St. Andrew's Pro-Cathedral in 1868, and has filled the same position from its consecration to the present time. It is not, however, as a public performer that his son, Mr. Montague Younger, jun., hopes to come to the front. From an early age he has had a taste for musical composition, and a long illness keeping him from the business life for which he was intended, induced him to turn his attention exclusively to music. In addition to "The Earl" waltz. Mr. Younger has two songs ready for publication, and his many friends in Sydney will watch his future career with great interest.

... The final place of business the firm having then changed its name to Younger and Son was located where the Bulletin office now stands in George street. There was an added interest attached to this house. Here a great part of the oratorio The Crown of Thorns by Charles Packer was composed. Mr Packer was on intimate terms of friendship with the family ... The family was very musical the father being a good performer on the piano, organ and cello and all the sons and daughters played instruments and sang. Mr Younger who was one of the founders of St Thomas Church North Sydney was its first organist and was succeeded by his son Montague at the juvenile age of 12.

Active London, 1850s (NLA persistent identifier)

Francis de Yrigoyti never came to Australia. However, he composed several popular compositions that are testament to colonial gold fever's grip in London in the early 1850s. The new song Dig! dig! dig! was "Composed & dedicated to all merry gold diggers"; according to reviews quoted on the back cover of the second edition: "This song may serve to shed a gleam of satisfaction to our Australian friends", "we hope it may find its way to Geelong". Yrigoyti followed the song with the Dig! dig! dig! polka ( The song and his The great nugget polka were on sale in Australia by mid 1854.

Many new colonial "local songs" were also written and sung as parodies of "Dig, dig, dig".

Great reputations may fill a theatre for one night to see Burnand's burlesque of Ixion, and as was the case on last Saturday night, many persons may be unable to obtain admission, but to draw large audiences in inclement weather, without changing the bill requires something more than a name. That these ladies have done so, proves that they have convinced the playgoers of their talent, and are appreciated. They are considered the cleverest trio of burlesque artists seen here, and from their first entrance to the fall of the curtain the excitement never flags, nor is there an opportunity afforded for adverse criticism. Miss Christine as Jupiter, dances admirably, and acts with great animation, and the Misses Emmeline and Alice as Ixion and Mercury fulfil every requisite of the part with immense eclat. They have been nightly encored, and are already as popular as if they had been old favourites.

"Dramatic and Musical Review", Australian Town and Country Journal (24 June 1871), 20

... The most lithe and easy is the youngest, I think, Alice, who has a naive manner, and a very piquant countenance, totally unlike either of the others. The general appearance of the girls, their dresses, and a sort of brilliance, add to a passable share of good looks, very necessary for burlesque actresses. On hearing Alice sing "Love among the Roses", it is easy to see whence Miss Bessie Gregory borrowed her style of singing the song. Emmeline is the best comic vocalist; "Moet and Chandon" will, of course, be the rage of those who are addicted to show themselves the worse for indulging in the beverages. The "Shoo Fly", with which the present edition terminates, is a novelty, and about the most amusing part of the piece, and very characteristic of the kind of thing that will draw in San Francisco for "seventeen consecutive weeks".

NEW DANCE MUSIC. Mr. Henry Marsh has issued a waltz entitled the "Zavistowski", with an introduction including the air "Love among the roses". This composition will be found very lively, and in Mr. Marsh's usually effective style. The popular nigger melody, "Shoo fly", furnishes Mr. Walter Rice, the leader of the Prince of Wales Opera House band, with the basis of an excellently arranged galop, set in E, and A sharp. It is very pleasing, and well marked. The latter is published by Mr. J. R, Clarke, music-seller, of Hunter street.

[Obituary of Antonio Zavistowski], New York Clipper (20 April 1901)

Through Col. T. Alston Brown we learn of the death of Mons. Antonio Zavistowski which occurred Jan. 24 at Morris Plains, NJ, aged seventy-six years. He was a well known ballerina master to old timers. He was at Covent Garden, London, Eng. for some time and came to America with his wife (Christine Ludlam), a well known premiere danseuse, in November 1848. He appeared with his wife in the small theatre called the Amphion, adjacent to the old Broadway Theatre. He then went to Philadelphia and appeared at Ellsbee's Lyceum They then came back to the old Bowery Theatre, this city. Returning to Philadelphia, they appeared at the Arch Street Theatre in 1853, dancing between the plays. For Zavistowski's benefit, June 27, 1854, the pantomime of "Too Many Cooks" was acted, when his wife first appeared in pantomime. The season of 1858-9, Zavistowski was at the Walnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia. Leaving Philadelphia, they traveled as the Zavistowski Family, consisting of Mrs. Zavistowski (Christine Ludlam) and their two daughters, Alice and Emmeline. As the family, they were at Pike's Opera House, Cincinnati in the season of 1864. They traveled through the country until they went to San Francisco, Cal. with the spectacle "Snow Flake" and appeared at the Grand Opera House (now Morosco's), under the management of Fred Bert. Then Zavistowski went to Australia with Annie Pixley. He retired from the stage about 1881 and for years resided at Ridgewood New Jersey. When "Michael Strogoff" was done at Booth's Theatre he had charge of the ballet.

ZELPIN, George Henry (2)

In the Melbourne Argus on 10 September 1859, the Zeplin Family (G. Zeplin and Sons) advertised that they had just arrived from London per ship Black Swan, and elsewhere on the same page it was already announced that Zeplin's Celebrated Quadrille Band was engaged for a Plain and Fancy Dress Ball at Trade's Hall, and that at Edward Wivell's Assembly Rooms "the celebrated Enlgish instrumentalists, the Zeplin Family, will perform the newest dance music, selection from the new opera Satanella [Balfe], Jullien's latest composition, the Fern Leaves Waltz, &c.". Thereafter, as "Zeplin and Sons' Quadrille Band", they also advertised "Violin, harp, flageolet, Pianoforte taught".

In October 1861, the "Band of the Messrs. Zeplin" appeared with the visiting artists Poussard and Douay at an afternoon promenade concert at the Victorian Exhibition. Thereafter "Zeplin's Band" played regularly at prominent Melbourne events, like the Governor's Ball in June 1864. In August 1864 it was announced that "Mr. F. Coppin and M. Zeplin" would be first violins in Frank Howson's orchestra at the New Haymarket Theatre. Two son were billed at the Theatre Comique in June 1867, "Musical Director, Mr. F. Zeplin ... Leader of the Orchestra, Mr. Tom Zeplin". Probably one or other of them directed the orchestra at the Governor's Ball again in November 1867, when it was reported: "The music was provided by Mr. Zeplin, whoso admirable band comprised 30 performers, and the programme included the Duke of Edinburgh Galop, a spirited and effective composition by Mr. Zeplin himself."

Having been lessees of the Varieties Theatre, George senior and Frederick were before the Insolvency Court in June 1876. That year Thomas Zeplin released, through W. H. Glen and Co., his first published compositions, The lily waltz in July, and Autumn leaves: suite de valses in November.

Zeplin also composed music for several stage productions, a published offshoot of one of which was Round the world in 80 days: potpourri ("arranged by Fred. Lyster & Tho's. Zeplin ; on airs wirtten for this ... drama by Giorza, Zeplin, Fred. Lyster, Mrs. W. S. Lyster, etc.").

My thanks to an old friend, Phillip (Alban) Nunn, for kindly sharing his findings on the Zeplin family, part of his researches into the emigrants on the ship Nepal in 1852, assisted under Caroline Chisholm's emigration scheme. Phillip's great-great-great uncle was a fellow passenger of George Frederick Zelpin on the Nepal, Thomas Winnett (1827-1853). Winnett's shipboard diary, which Phillip is editing along with material from other diarists on the same voyage, describes musical instruments (some damaged during a storm) and music-making on board. The Nepal was typical of the Chisholm ships which were models of social engineering, the emigrants a combination of professionals, artisans, artists, clergy, and labourers.

"DEATH OF MR. J. B. ZERBINI", The Argus (30 November 1891), 6

Mr. Zerbini, who was born in 1839, was for many years closely associated with the London Monday Popular Concerts in St. James's Hall, both as viola player in the string quartets and as pianoforte accompanist. To show the position that he held it is sufficient to mention a few of the names of his confreres such as Herr Joachim, Lady Halle, Mr. L. Ries and Signor Piatti. His residence in Melbourne gave an impetus to quartet playing, the value of which cannot well be over estimated, and had a great deal to do with raising the general musical taste of the community; his long experience in the old country and consequent knowledge of the correct tempi, &c., rendered him invaluable, and his death causes a heavy loss. Mr. Zerbini's accomplishments were varied. He was a good pianist and shone as an accompanist; he was also a capable organist, but as a viola player he was exceptionally gifted. He came to Melbourne six years ago, and has since exerted a potent influence in creating a taste for clumber music. He founded the Zerbini Quartet, which formed the great attraction of the Melbourne Popular Concerts promoted by Mr. T. H. Guenett, and he was conductor of the party appearing at the series of entertainments now being carried on by Mr. Max Klein. He was a most valued member of the Victorian Orchestra as it was originally constituted, and he had been a prominent figure at nearly every concert which has been given in Melbourne for years past. Among the positions which he filled at the time of his death was that of organist of St. Francis Roman Catholic Church. Formerly he was organist of St. George's Church, Carlton. He was 52 years of age.

Zerbini, John Baptist, violinist and pianist, son of an Italian musician (J. B. Zerbini, member of the London Philharmonic orchestra, died December 27, 1889), was born in London in 1839. He began his career in the band at Drury Lane when he was seventeen, and in 1867 joined Mr. Chappell's string quartet at the Popular Concerts as viola player, and also as pianoforte accompanist. He married Anna Patey, who was for a long time amanuensis and secretary to the eminent geologist, Sir Charles Lyell. His wife died in June, 1884, and Zerbini, in failing health, went to Australia. He soon established himself as a teacher of repute; directed Chamber concerts at Victoria, in 1887; and died at Melbourne, November, 1891. He was a man of quiet, unassuming manners, an excellent accompanist, and a good all-round musician. His brother, Leander, a native of London, was a vocalist and composer.

Italian Memories

I sometimes forget that we kept a blog documenting our trip to Italy in 2009. I stumbled across it again today and was reminded of how much fun we had travelling and seeing more of the world together. We are so thankful to have been able to visit such a beautiful country. Here's a bit of trivia you might not know: I was already pregnant with Jet before we even arrived in Italy but didn't know it yet. It wasn't until our stop in Rome when we finally were able to find a pregnancy test (and had to figure out the results - in Italian! Good thing for online translating dictionaries!) So it was there, in Rome, in a nunnery (ironic), where we found out that our lives would soon change forever. I will never forget that moment, and that, out of all the many amazing memories, will be why Italy will always have a special place in my heart.

If you're curious about the country or just want to take a walk down memory lane with us, here's the link:

(No, we were not trying to match on purpose but we somehow end up doing so a lot)

And here's a little video action of us in the Coliseum:

Various Topics

Nork Missiles

The question was raised by S. E., who reads but rarely comments on this blog: "Why hasn't the US shot down Nork missiles?"

General Mattis responds here (LINK). If you don't want to click the link, in a nut shell, the tests have fallen short of threatening the US to date. The North Koreans have carefully avoided doing that so far. Japan has had two overflights and may decide to shoot down one of the North Korean missiles in the future. It's building the capacity to do so now, working closely with USGOV and contractors to make that happen. The North Koreans would likely take a missile shoot-down as an act of war and would flatten Seoul and kill twenty million civilians. OR NOT, but the US is not rolling the dice. If you give the only fat man in North Korea enough rope, he'll hang himself. Maybe the Chinese will kill him off by peaceful means? It would be a gift to the people of Korea of great price. Avert a war, feed 23 million starving Norks, and make the world a better place for all but the North Korean elites, who would likely find themselves hanging from a jibbet once the people realized how badly they have been used and how wickedly they were deceived.

A Note to I-40 Travelers

The Northern Pines restaurant puts out one of the best breakfasts in Flagstaff, AZ - north of the White Wolf Mine. It's attached to a Day's Inn, which, under normal circumstances would mean that I'd never eat there (I'm a bit of a hotel snob). HOWEVER, I've eaten there many times and it's simply a great place. Everything on the menu is recommended. Yesterday I had the Meatloaf, smothered in green chili sauce, eggs over medium, etc. They even have a chili verde enchilada breakfast that's superb. Not everything has chili on it. The cinnamon roll french toast will make your arteries crackle (in a happy way).

The White Wolf Mine is close to being established as the White Wolf Mineral Exploration and Transportation Company. Don't hold your breath for a website. It will start as a sole proprietorship and will be incorporated as I incur the potential of liability. If any of you out there are ambitious and want to help a fledgling business, I'm open to print-quality logo ideas.

Groups empower rural women with cooking gas

As part of efforts at reducing health hazards and protecting the environment, Global Environment Facility (GEF) of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Friends Of The Environment (FOTE) in partnership with Zenith Bank, have empowered over 100 women in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State on the use and benefits of cooking gas.

Chairperson of FOTE, Mrs. Joanna Maduka, said the programme is aimed at preventing health hazards from environmental pollution among rural women in the country.

She noted that from baseline study conducted during the pre-event survey, it was discovered that 86 per cent of the women cook with kerosene stove and firewood, while 14 per cent make use of gas.

“Averagely, 86 per cent of the people surveyed spend between N5,000 to N10,000 monthly on firewood and kerosene while those who use the LPG spend averagely N3,500 on refilling the gas. On further discussion, all of the women indicated their interest in the use of gas. However they lacked the initial sum for purchase of the cylinder and gas burner,” she said.

Head of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Zenith Bank, Mrs. Eunice Sampson, advised the women to take advantage of the reduced prices in LPG, insisting that it would help improve their health and also protect the environment.

The event was also used to introduce the Zenith wonder bag, a heat retention cooker, which saves more than 30 per cent of regular energy costs. The event is the first of a seven-part awareness campaign, which includes four more local councils in Lagos and two local councils in Ogun State.

Obama Formally Endorses Centrist French Presidential Candidate Macron (VIDEO)

Former President Barack Obama formally endorsed French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron Thursday, marking one of his first forays into politics since leaving office.

Obama announced his endorsement in a Twitter video on Macron’s feed, in which he called the centrist candidate someone who “appeals to people’s hopes and not their fears.”

“I have admired the campaign that Emmanuel Macron has run,” Obama said. “He has stood up for liberal values, he put forward a vision for the important role that France plays in Europe and around the world. And he is committed to a better future for the French people. He appeals to people’s hopes and not their fears.”

Macron is currently running against far-right candidate Marine Le Pen, a race that has, of course, brought up comparisons to Trump and the 2016 U.S. presidential race.

Obama had supported Macron in the past but had declined to formally endorse him until now. He said in the video that he does not plan on stepping into too many other races, but that the French election was too important not to speak up about.

“I’m not planning to get involved in many elections now that I don’t have to run for office again, but the French election is very important to the future of France and to the values that we care so much about,” Obama said.

Countdown to Tarkan's Harbiye Show

By Adelind Osmanlı reporting from Munich, Germany

Avea's 5th Annual Open Air Banner 2009

With eight days to go until the start of the annual Avea Open Air Concerts, organised by mobile telecommunications company Avea in conjunction with Tarkan's production company HITT, media channels have begun the countdown to the series of live shows to be held at the Harbiye Open Air Theatre in Istanbul.

Turkish media portal Gazeteport reports that the 5th Avea Open Air Concerts will be held between 1-16 August, with twelve artists appearing on separate dates at the venue.

Breaking all known attendance records by giving five sell-out shows at the open air theatre in 2006, Tarkan's successful Harbiye concerts have become a must-see for residents of Turkey's mega city.

Records show, as in 2006 and 2008 during the 2nd and 4th intimate gigs sponsored by Avea hosted by HITT, Tarkan will once again kick start the open air series with an eagerly anticipated show on 1 August.

Currently taking a break deep sea diving in Egypt, Tarkan is expected to return in top condition for his Harbiye show.

Tickets for the 1 August show are at present available from Biletix.

Radio Vietnam

More hits of the 'Nam era!

'This station is a dedicated to those who served during and fought in the Vietnam War.

A mix of pop, rock & R&B filled the airwaves in harmony along with a new heavier rock & roll just starting to take off and all sorts of poets protesting. It was the sounds that defined a nation during the Vietnam War. Sound clips from Good Morning Vietnam, Full Metal Jacket, Hamburger Hill, Adrian Cronauer, Presidents Nixon & Johnson speeches as well as AFVN announcements are part of the broadcast.'

How I Love This Aqua Blue

I just received my new blender yesterday. I am completely in love with this color. Both pieces are from the Kitchen Aid Martha Stewart Collection. Kitchen Aid calls this color "aqua."
I recently purchased the mixer because I came across a brand new one at the Navy Exchange and this is an exclusive color that is no longer available and very hard to find.

I found the matching blender at
This was my first purchase with and I am very pleased. I ordered this on Friday and it was at my doorstep on Tuesday.....amazing! Shipping was only $1.00
I haven't used this beauty yet, but I am thinking I may need to make a smoothie tomorrow.
You can also follow my YouTube Channel here:

  1. My Kitchen Aid blender is a workhorse. Great for making salsa, too. I have had mine for 7 years & it still chops frozen berries, etc. w/ great results.

  2. I love the color too! How cute! And I sooo want that mixer!

  3. Those are so pretty! They're in my favorite color too(:

  4. I watched a YouTube video by a consumer company that tested the Kitchen Aid model with more expensive brands and the Kitchen Aid performed the best. I am glad to know Sweet Apron, that yours is still working well after 7 years. :)

  5. I love that color, have been trying to build up my pieces too. Told hubby I want a big all white and aqua blue kitchen in our final So jealous!!!!

  6. You know that the Marine Corps Exchange and the Navy Exchange carry the aqua blue from Martha Stewart? I don't know what it is about that color, but I love it.

Throwback Thursday

Tots and Me

I went back to an age, I am going back to two years old for my Throwback Thursday Post today.  To be clear, I am going back to when each of my kids were two years old.

Princess Snifflefritz was a very sweet little girl when she was two.  She loved blowing out her birthday candles and attacking that HUGE piece of birthday cake!

Princess Belle was an only child when she was two.  She was a picky, messy, eater, but she was sooo cute, she was the star of the show every where she went.  (Hmm . . . I miss those curls!)

Princess Magpie was an adorable two year old.  She was bubbly and happy and LOOK AT THOSE CHEEKS!

Little Prince was my quiet, gentle two year old.  He liked his birthday hat and even figured it was was good for eating LOL (and look he even at french fries back then!!)

So there it is

So Little Prince has had a rough couple of nights and I am VERY tired.  I am trying to function for the girls, but I am just barely getting the basic things done.  I would pay a lot of money to have someone come in and cook supper and do my housework for me.  But I am a mommy, and I love my babies, even when they are exhausting, so I am pushing through and resorting to LOTS of coffee to get me through.  In the meantime, both Little Prince and I will spend most of the day looking like this

I went to the dentist today and had my tooth fixed.  I am glad to have it done before the move, but I do have an AWFUL headache now, so I am feeling a little quiet right now.

Little Prince has his diagnostic appointment tomorrow.  I am more than a little nervous about it.  I hope it goes well.  Even though I am 99 percent sure what the results will be, I am still nervous.  I hope my little man has a good day.

Tell me it isn't that bad.

I got my hair cut today and I am not really happy with the results.  I brought the girl the same picture I had last time she gave me this cut but she cut the top way too short.  I have to take off my glasses so I have to show her what I want and then trust her but this time when I put my glasses on to survey the results I was a little horrified.  Princess Snifflefritz greeted me at the door and told me I would be beautiful with a wig because she HATED the cut. Oh well it is just hair,  it will grow back, most of the pink is gone, and it will be cooler for the summer.

What to do

I am trying to decide the most cost efficient and yet durable way to fix the walls in Little Prince's room.  The walls are crumbly and peeling and fragile.   I want to fix it but this is a rental and while I am free to do what I want, I don't want to spend a lot of money.  One wall has simple panelling and I am wondering if that would be ghe best way to go.  I just want my baby boy to have a nice room too.

Anyone can download the app, but unless you work in a school in England you’ll find the questions a little difficult to answer. If you work in an independent school then we are definitely interested in your views and would love feedback if you find that some of the questions don’t work quite so well for you.

The questions are really designed for teachers, rather than teaching assistants or other staff. For now, teachers in early years settings, further education, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the rest of the world won’t find the questions make sense a lot of the time. However, we’d certainly think about trying the experiment in a different setting in the future.

Answering the daily questions isn’t a big commitment – we find it takes between 7 and 15 SECONDS each day. It is designed with busy teachers in mind. Do it while wandering back to the staffroom when school finishes, or while walking to your car, or while sitting on the bus or train, or while waiting for a kettle to boil at home, or while sitting in front of the television.

About the new directions, you'll find Warrior getting built and Automatix 3 started

Many of us need something easy to use and something that is innovative yet what people have been asking for. When Automatix was first released it provided Ubuntu a method of simplicity that allowed users to use the system easily. Of course the “not invented here syndrome” was a big problem for Automatix since certain teams were upset that it wasn't under their control and ripping them apart instead of working closely with them. See my previous blog on Automatix for more information. The bottom line was that these people were dedicated hard working individuals who not only assisted Ubuntu in gaining popularity in those days, but also the ones that made Ubuntu easy to use by providing the tools that were lacking in a simple to use method that Windows users could use. Heck, even the New York Times thought it was a great tool that people should install on their systems. Enough about that, I've commented before on my thoughts and I'm just still amazed that people tear into them. We supported the project well over a year and I still believe that the over 2 million people that use it can't be wrong! Now comes Automatix 3, a completely new methodology for a package manager to be included in Warrior and later into Explorer and Basic. Of course since it's a community project, we will be providing it to other communities who would like to include it, much in the same way the Automatix team provided Automatix to others in the past. We've provided this now with three new repositories; Cowboy, Cowgirl and Wrangler working hand in hand with the folks at Automatix. These new repositories are available to other communities as well who can add them to their repository list in K/Ubuntu, Mint, MEPIS 6.5 and under and others.

Let me discuss Warrior some as it is a complete 180 from our past development efforts here at Technalign. We are moving rapidly to Warrior development now with the Automatix group heading up a lot of the efforts for us. Automatix has demonstrated something in the past that we haven't seen for quite sometime in Linux, the ability to assist a distribution with innovative concepts and implementation that people really wanted and needed. Warrior is no different in the sense that it not only is a deviation from Ubuntu, but a project that is meant to stay focused on the Debian innovations and creating a distribution that provides the greatest base today in Linux. We plan on augmenting what Debian has accomplished. Bringing longevity to the operating system is something we need to do, allowing users to continue for years with a stable and reliable platform that brings users to a new level of satisfaction (shoot, I need a cigarette now lol). We also plan on working very closely with Automatix, who in the past has demonstrated the sheer essence of innovation. I'm certain I'll be attacked for these comments, but the numbers themselves speak volumes of what they've accomplished in the past and what they will accomplish in the future!

Warrior, besides having Automatix 3 included, and as I spoke about previously includes a new set of repositories and direction using Debian. We plan on keeping the Debian base Debian without deviation. This means a pure distribution for the community and later the Explorer and Basic communities. We also need to standardize some of this, and there was an attempt previously that failed. I believe Xandros is still attempting this today, but I may be incorrect. One of the issues we are finding today with our partners is the need to have a set of standards for both hardware and software developers. Working with some software development companies, what we are finding is that these companies are having issues they have asked us to address. Some have not yet started to move their critical applications in vertical markets such as Medical and Legal applications waiting for the standards and a Linux distribution that follows the current path they run today in Windows. We're addressing these issues with them currently and the communities that wish to be involved. Nothing is mandatory, and the projects are completely open. You'll find this started on our org pages at if you want more information.

We hope each of you join us on our next steps in making Warrior the optimal platform with Technalign and Automatix and I welcome each of you to share your thoughts and ideas with us so your voice is also heard and not shut down. No one is ripped into at Technalign and everyone is welcome to provide input or join in any efforts, including VoIP projects. Please feel free to visit our forums at and let your voice be heard!

Checked Vs Unchecked Exceptions

In Java, there are 2 kinds of Exception:

Unchecked Exceptions which indicate some sort of programming error on the part of developer. Unchecked Exceptions are usually subclasses of RuntimeException class. Examples include:
 --- NullPointerException (which is usually thrown when method is              invoked on a null object)
 --- DivideByZeroException (thrown when divide by zero happens in        your code)
 --- IllegalArgumentException (usually thrown when invalid argument        is passed to a method)
 --- ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException (thrown when you try to access         array index beyond the memory allocated to it)
 --- ArithmeticException
 --- RuntimeException
If your methods throw an unchecked exception, then your method need not specify it as a part of its API i.e no need to write all the exceptions it throws using "throws" clause.

Checked Exceptions on the other hand, specifies conditions that are not due to human errors but due to conditions that are not in programmer's control. These include conditions such as database errors, network failures, file not found when searching or performing some operation on it. Examples include:
 --- FileNotFoundException
 --- SQLException
 --- PersistenceException
On the other hand, if your code throws any checked conditions, then either you must handle it or specify it using "throws" clause else your program will give compile-time error.

Checked Vs Unchecked
Use Checked Exception in your code when you Client code (code that calls your code) is capable of dealing with the Exception and have ample knowledge why that Exception occurred in the first place and how to do away with it.
Otherwise, it is always preferable to use Unchecked Exceptions since then the Client code is not forced to handle it and can choose to ignore it. Though that would not solve the problem and the exception would travel high up in hierarchy of function calls and perhaps finally encountered by the JVM, but at least the Client code is saved from the hassle of dealing with Exceptions that they don't know about it.
Let's take an example. Suppose we have a method throwing an SQLException:
The client code would never come to know that why this SQLException occurred, as it has no knowledge of underlying business logic and internal database design. Thus client is unable to handle the exception, so its always better to not force a client to handle an exception he do not know about.

Hello everyone!

I was not sure if I should create a post out of these outfits since most of the things I wore were old or from Bulgaria but maybe someone will find inspiration so here they are.

Four ways to style red shorts. I bought these shorts from Banana Republic few months ago and they have been a constant in my wardrobe since then. They are the perfect length and I love that they don’t wrinkle as much. I enjoy pairing them with tops with red in them, as well as with navy, yellow and white to achieve a nautical look. Most of my Instagram followers loved the third look with the black and white ruffled ZARA top.

1. Paired with Gap stripe tee (similar) and Silvian Heach blazer (similar) // 2. Paired with Teodora B. embroidered blouse // 3. Zara Ruffled Top (similar) // 4. Paired with Teodora B. Dolman Sleeve Blouse. The white shoes are from Bulgaria but I think it will look great with white or navy Sperry’s.

How to style and wear red shorts

Yellow and Olive. This is one of my favorite combinations for early fall and I think that the accessories in this outfit bring it all together.

Top – J. Crew (similar) // Shorts – J. Crew (similar) // Purse – J. Crew Factory (similar) // Shoes – Halogen (similar) // Necklace (similar)

Yellow and Olive

Oversized Tee and denim. This is one of my favorite mommy uniforms – comfortable and yet very cute. I love this oversized tee and the pearl embellishment. Another score from Bulgaria 🙂

Hot pink and navy. I have worn this top a few times here and here and it is hard to pick my favorite combination. This pairing with navy is perfect to transition into fall.

Pink top –  Cremieux Sunny Blouse – similar // Blazer – similar // Sandals – similar

Children Learn what they Live...

When we are sitting on the stand each week in different Stake Conferences
my eyes wander to the children.
I love to watch them. They are so entertaining and beautiful.
My heart is happy when I see wonderful parents taking care of these little ones.
Parents have a huge responsibility to keep their children
safe, happy and healthy.
They have to make sure that they are
physically, emotionally and spiritually safe and sound.

Doctrine and Convenants 68 says...
25 And again, inasmuch as aparents have children in Zion, or in any of her bstakes which are organized, that cteach them not to understand the ddoctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eeight years old, the fsin be upon the heads of the parents.

With 220 missionaries from all parts of the world...
It is amazing all the different backgrounds that we have.
Some are recent converts and the only members in the family, some come
from split homes with a single parent, Some are from blended families with
step parents and siblings...
Yours - mine and ours, Some from less active families,  some are
raised by grandparents, and others by Aunts and Uncles.
Some come from wealth others from poverty.
And on top of all these circumstances they have all been raised
with different parenting skills and methods.

I am sure that you are familiar with this poem...

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.

If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.

If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.

If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.

If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition,
they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security,
they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

We can see these different traits in our missionaries.
We have more empathy and understanding in dealing with each one
when we know their backgrounds.
But the most beautiful thing we encounter is watching
each missionary overcome weaknesses and start to fill in the gaps
as they live and teach and understand the Gospel
line upon line... precept upon precept.

When we teach our children the Gospel of Jesus Christ
all the hiccups and mistakes and pain
can be made whole and understandable
through the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ.
The Gospel is the answer and the cure
for all of our human frailties and weaknesses.
 Oh how I love these missionaries
and especially my Savior!
