A Story That Never Wants To End

Jeez, Louise!  Its been a long time since I've written something in here.  But that's the iffy thing about blog writing.  Especially for a writer (a good writer, or a bad one, or one totally pedestrian in nature.  It doesn't matter).   Coming up with something to write about  . . . on top of ALL the other writing you're supposed to be doing . . . gets to be a real drain on the imagination.

Or to put it more crudely;  it becomes a major pain in the ass.

But a topic hit me this morning that's worthy of a blog.  Maybe even worthy of a comment or two, depending of course, on whether there is anyone out there to comment on.  I doubt anyone is left who used to read this blog (all two of you).  Ah well, here goes anyway.

The subject of today's blog is;  A Story That Never Wants To End.

Here's the background you need to know.  A few weeks ago an idea came along for a short story featuring a rather unique character.  A combo of a Perry Mason lawyer and a Charlie Chan detective.  But a character with a definite 'odd' affinity for the strange and ghostly.  And . . . maybe . . . somewhat of a question of his gender.

The guy's name is Maurice.  He's a lawyer.  A lawyer who talks to ghosts.  In fact, it turns out a number of his 'clients' are ghosts.  Souls who have suffered through a violent end of their lives coming back as ghosts to 'hire' Maurice in an attempt to bring the perpatrators of the crimes to their long deserved rewards.  In the stories I hoped to throw in a court seen, ala Perry Mason, to give it some color.  And that, dear readers, is the rub . . .

The story refuses to wrap up into a tidy short story conclusion.  It keeps going on and on and on.  We're well past the short story limits.  With no end in sight.  So now . . . dammit! . . . it appears as if I have ANOTHER novel to write featuring ANOTHER character I'd like to get to know better!  I've got all the commitment and stick-to-it-tivness of a bowl of grape jello.  Ideas and characters just keep popping into my head and distracting me all the time.

Ah, well.  Thought I'd share the opening few paragraps with this character. Maurice is the name . . . as is the title of the story.  Tell me what you think.

Flipping the Zippo lighter open he thumbed the old relic into life and lifted the bright flame to the end of the cigarette.
            And paused . . .
            A bright pink Caddy convertible slid into the No Parking Zone as if it belonged there and quietly came to a halt.  A big battleship of a car, with high tail fins in back and a spread of metal across the front hood big enough to be the landing deck of a Nimetz-class aircraft carrier.  Hot pink. Freshly polished . . . with white vinyl seats.  The white so intense he thought about lifting a hand up to shade the glare from his eyes.
            One big sonofabitch of a car.
            Had to be a '59 Caddy convertible. Looked just like the one he remembered his grandmother had way back when he was six or seven.  Yet it looked as if it just rolled off a showroom floor.  But as if the car wasn't enough to gawk at, the guy sitting behind the wheel was . . . was . . . unreal.
            At first the thought of Charlie Chan.  White three-piece Southern Plantation suit.  Perfectly tailored.  Very expensive material.  Hung on the guy's frame like a million dollars.  Not even a smidgeon of dirt anywhere to be seen on the white.  With white loafers.  Glistening white loafers.  But instead of a white derby sitting directly atop the man's head there was, instead, a wide brimmed white fedora.  The complexion of the guy suggesting oriental origins.  Or maybe not.  Maybe Egyptian.  Or Romano. Definitely pudgy around the midsection. Obviously the guy enjoyed his groceries. But . . . you really couldn't call him fat.  Not yet.  No . . . this wasn't a Charlie Chan.  Charlie Chan was a Hawaiian-Chinese homicide detective based out of Honolulu.  A fictional character concocted by a writer from out of the 1930's.   This guy . . . this guy, as he rolled out from behind the massively wide steering wheel of the car and reached into the back seat to extract a rather expensive looking leather briefcase, along with an odd looking twisted black ebony shillelagh-like cane, was real. 'Bout five eleven . . . maybe six foot.  'Bout two ten, maybe two twenty on the bathroom scales.  With just the suggestion of double chins beginning to thicken.
            Not Hawaiian.  Nor Chinese. Not anyone from the Far East. This guy had the greenest/yellow eyes he had ever seen and a smile that seemed to burst out from somewhere deep within. A smile that could warm up the frozen heart of a Spanish Inquisitor standing in a dungeon cell directly dead center on the North Pole.

VSSM helps Bhurabhai who was engaged in Bamboo Basket Business to get his own shop

Bhurabhai Vadee with his son at his shop in Juna Deesa
 Things get started with small steps or actions, no matter how small they are. Bhurabhai Lakhabhai Vadee (Vasfoda Vadee) started with making bamboo baskets and today, he has his own shop of ready made clothes..

As life progress, one learns and acquires skills in the process. Bhurabhai wanted to expand his bamboo basket business and was in need of money for it. At that time he met with Maheshbhai (VSSM worker) and put forward his wish to avail an interest free loan of RS 15,000/- to expand his business. The loan helped increase his income and he was able to repay the loan timely. Bhurabhai's savings increased which helped him gain confidence and he started to sell things made of plastic. But he was in need of money to continue the plastic business and got an interest free loan of 30, 000/-

He got a good profit margin through his plastic business. Bhurabhai's son coaxed him to open a store of ready made clothes near their house. They had good savings and plus were able to pay the loan without any strain.

During the floods in 2017, Bhurabhai suffered great loss in business and requested VSSM to give him a loan so that he can recover the loss and be able to get back on his feet.

Bhurabhai requested for a loan of 70, 000/- in order to get back on his feet and VSSM gave him a third loan to recover losses and expand his business. He added his own savings to the loan amount and with his son opened a store of ready made clothes and is able to repay the loan on timely basis.

We, at VSSM, are happy for him and wish him the best for all the steps that he takes forward. We would also like to thank the donors who enable us to help people like Bhurabhai.

Loan ID no. 1449, 0949, 0435.

CAN Spring Conference 2018

Sector Training & Events
12 June 2018 12:00 - 16:30
St Mary’s Hall, St Mary’s Park, Stannington - The Chapel, St Mary Lane, St Mary Park, Morpeth NE61 6BL
United Kingdom

This year, CAN's annual conference for rural Northumberland focuses on health. Download agenda  This is a critical issue for rural Northumberland and for rural areas nationally – a 2017 national survey of rural residents ranked health as the issue of highest concern.
The focus is on solutions – what already works, and what could work in the future.
Emma Richardson, poverty coordinator at Northumberland County Council, will kick off the conference by setting health issues in the context of poverty, deprivation and demographic change. Liz Morgan, Director of Public Health, will then set out the current focus for work across the county and the proposed move to an ‘asset-based’ model.
The results of a recent residents’ survey will then be presented by Northumberland Healthwatch followed by three presentations outlining different approaches to meeting local health needs. Sarah Gorman will outline an innovative approach to ‘social prescribing’ currently flourishing in Gateshead, CAN's Christine Nicholls will highlight the role played by Warm Hubs and representatives from the North Northumberland Voluntary Forum will outline local success in the form of activities funded through the ‘Micro Grant’ project.
There will then be time to reflect on the presentations and to discuss other ways to solve the growing health issues facing rural communities across Northumberland.
Chaired by our president, Lord Curry of Kirkharkle, the conference promises to be one of our best yet.
The Conference will take place on Tuesday 12 June starting with a buffet lunch at noon and concluding by 4.30pm. The venue is St Mary’s Hall at St Mary’s Park, Stannington. This is a new village hall venue, provided as part of the new housing development on this site.
If you would like to join CAN at this FREE conference, please book your place now.   Alternatively, please telephone CAN on 01670 517178.

The flags in front of the Hunt Oil Building always tell a story

Today, they are flying the flags of the Texas Revolution, including old Come and Take It.

I always wonder exactly who's in charge of the flags at Hunt Oil. A lot of times, they fly the US flag, the state flag and I assume, the flag of a visiting executive's native land. On January 27 -- Holocaust Remembrance Day -- they flew Israel's flag.

It's wonderful, I think, their effort to honor history.

kids clothes week challenge

Starting tomorrow is the kids clothes week challenge over at Elsie Marley and I have decided it was time to partake after looking in from the sidelines for so long. As a lead in I thought I would share with you some of the kids clothes I have made in the past. I warn you some of these photos are certainly from my early photography days!!!

I love making kids clothes cause they are usually very quick projects, cost little and kids are so appreciative that something was made just for them. I am planning my KCWC projects as I type this, I have cleared the dining table in anticipation (I should point out that I do actually have a whole room, complete with a horn sewing table and a proper drawing table, however, storage has taken over care of all my boxes that I had stored at my parents place, been delivered lol) and I did a quick trip for fabric this morning! Lets see what I can achieve in a week!

Suit up baby!

This is a long post and picture heavy because when I started out it was meant to be 3 separate posts, but now that time is running out I’ve decided to combine them all! So here it goes!

grandpa suit

Every little boy needs a suit that is smart, elegant and classic. Master B’s new suit is all that, with a touch of grandpa’s essence. I made it from grey oxford (or was it chambray?) fabric I had in my stash and lined with it with very little boy friendly Ikea trucks. To be honest the pictures speak for themselves, faux pockets on both the vest and pants with a button closure. I did try a new pants pattern that I have wanted to try, but until Master B’s tries the outfit on I have no idea if I’m happy with the outcome!

grandpa pants  grandpa pants back

grandpa vest  grandpa vest inside

But what suit isn’t complete without a tie or 2?

tie red check  tie striped

Add them to the vest and you have a totally adorable look! (Hmmm maybe I should have made a shirt too?)

grandpa vest with red tie  grandpa vest with stripe tie

So what tie pattern did I use? This ONE from Kinzies Kreations. I found it easy to follow and a simple construction. My favourite was that it was only one piece. I used press studs at the back of the neck strap for quick removal but also so it doesn’t get yanked off every 2 mins by a squirming toddler! A tie tip: use a lightweight interfacing when making ties. On the red check tie I did and it sits so much better! I can see many ties in the coming years for Master B.

Oh I never told you about the vest pattern. I basically used the front and back pieces of the Retro Jacket pattern adding 1cm to front pieces and making the neckline straight. Worked really well, so much quicker too than drafting up a new pattern!

Don’t you think Master B is going to look rather dashing in his new suit and ties?

grandpa suit final  ties

  1. I absolutely love this! You did a great job.

  2. Really cute! I used the IKEA trucks to make black-out curtains for my son, but it looks much better as lining in your vest.

Deals 3,4 & 5 Update

19th November

Monday morning and its raining!! I feel like the weather today, 36 days to go until Christmas and we need to step up a gear on the deals running at the moment. The T-shirts are moving out on ebay and were getting closer to turning over a profit on that deal, which will make our front page summary look much healthier!! Nez now has a working computer (I think!) so communications between us will be a lot easier (and cheaper!!). I think I need to work on a plan to get this blog out to the masses. Its one thing trying to promote sales but the blog (and its associated benefits) will prove valuable in the long run. So if theres anyone out there with insomnia and who has some good suggestions (actually ANY suggestions) on more effective ways we can self-promote then drop us a line (use the 'contact us' link on the left hand menu). Right I'm not really in a typing mode so I'm off to sell a t-shirt. More soon

mars in 3rd House

The 3rd house is affected by Mars and Mercury, who provide brothers and sisters to the native i.e., he will not be the only issue of his parents. Others will be highly benefited from the native, but he will not be able to receive benefit from others. Humbleness will bring rewards. In-laws will become richer and richer after the native’s marriage. The native believes in the principle " eat, drink and be merry" and suffers from blood disorders.

Remedial Measures :

1. Be soft hearted and avoid arrogance. Be good to brothers
   for prosperity.
2. Keep articles of ivory with you .
3. Put on silver ring in the left hand.

BC, Haisla, file objections to JRP bypassing of Kitimat; Enbridge likes venues, avoids the tanker problem

Both the province of British Columbia and the Haisla Nation have filed strong objections with the Northern Gateway Joint Review Panel about the panel’s plans to bypass Kitimat for the questioning and final argument phases of its examination of the controversial pipeline project.

At present, the Joint Review Panel plans to hold questioning hearings in Prince Rupert, Prince George and either Calgary or Edmonton and final arguments in Prince Rupert and Calgary/Edmonton.

And if Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver wanted to speed up the hearings and therefore approval of the Northern Gateway project, filings from all sides indicate more time is needed than the two months allocated by the JRP.

The JRP secreteriat plan a meeting in Calgary on May 30 to consider the procedures.  The three panel members will not attend.  A large number of intervenors or government participants will be represented in person or take part in a conference call.

The lawyer for the Haisla Nation, Jennifer Griffiths, points out in her filing with the JPR, “Prince Rupert is not a logical location for any of the hearings.”

Updated: The District of Kitimat, which is registered as a “government intervenor” will participate in the conference call.

The law firm representing the Enbridge Northern Gateway, agrees with the JRP preliminary decision to hold the hearings in Prince Rupert, Prince George and Calgary or Edmonton. However, Enbridge’s lawyer Richard Neufeld, of Fraser, Milner, Casgrain, makes it clear that for those hearings they are not involved in the operation of tankers carrying the bitumen they sell to customers.

This includes a marine terminal at Kitimat. Northern Gateway recognizes the interest of the public, government, and First Nations in respect of the potential effects of ships calling on the proposed marine terminal, but it is important to bear in mind that Northern Gateway will not own or operate any marine vessels. No approvals are sought, or required, for such operations, as they are subject only to laws of general application which apply to all shipping into or out of Canadian ports.

The Ecojustice group, also known as the Sustainability Coalition,  an alliance of the Living Oceans Society, Raincoast Conservation and ForestEthicsAdvocacy wants hearings in Vancouver. The Coastal First Nations also want the hearings in Vancouver.

The Wet’suwet’en  want more hearing locations especially in the areas of the proposed route to address those most affected, telling the JRP:

The Office of the Wet’suwet’en (OW) is localized in Smithers, BC, our territory is 22,000 square kilometres and 170 kilometres is proposed to be crossed by NGP prior to crossing the coastal mountain range. The OW requests that hearings be held in Smithers or Burns Lake for full days rather than half days to reduce travel and accommodation costs for intervenors.

In the provincial filing, Christopher Jones, counsel for British Columbia says:

the Province submits that it is essential for a portion of the final hearings to take place in Kitimat. Kitimat is the proposed location of one terminus of the proposed pipeline, and of the proposed marine terminal. As a result, that locality has a particular interest in these proceedings. There are sufficient facilities and transport access to Kitimat to allow the hearings to take place there…..

The letter from Jones goes on to stay that BC believes “the Province would again submit that certain issues should be dealt with at Kitimat” rather than Prince Rupert.

Griffith, of the Vancouver law firm, Donavan and Company, filing on behalf of the Haisla Nation says:

The Haisla Nation questions why no final hearings are proposed for Kitimat. Given the significant new infrastructure associated with the project that is proposed to be located in the Kitimat area, Kitimat is a logical location for hearings. Kitimat is serviced by the Terrace airport, which is only 56 km away. Kitimat also has dock facilities for parties who may be travelling to the hearings by boat. Finally, there is ample accommodation in the Kitimat I Terrace area. Prince Rupert is not a logical location for any of the hearings. The proposed pipeline does not go near Prince Rupert, the terminal is far from Prince Rupert, the tankers would go through Douglas Channel, not past Prince Rupert. Prince Rupert is not accessible to the Haisla Nation by way of a direct flight.

Griffith also says the final arguments should be held either in Kitimat or Vancouver.

The Haisla Nation will have to participate in every aspect of the hearings. Yet the Panel is currently not proposing to hold any of the questioning phase or final hearings in Kitimat. As set out in the comments below, the Haisla Nation is of the view that the questioning and final hearing locations slated for the western terminus of the project should be held in Kitimat, not in Prince Rupert.

Enbridge, on the other hand, through its lawyer, Richard Neufeld, says:

Northern Gateway agrees with the Panel’s observations regarding the need to select hearing venues that are centrally located, have adequate facilities and reasonable transportation access for the large numbers of witnesses and back-up support personal required. Northern Gateway also agrees that Prince Rupert, Prince George and Calgary/Edmonton meet these criteria. Northern Gateway also agrees that if economic issues are to be dealt with in a single venue, it would be appropriate to do so in Calgary or Edmonton. Of the two, Calgary would be a more logical location given its convenience for those participating in that aspect of the proceeding.

Enbridge also has reservations about the process, while it wants the hearings “streamlined,” the company is concerned about the plan to split the hearings into various issues could be “prejudicial” to the project.

Northern Gateway expects that the Panel is considering an issues-based hearing in an effort to streamline the hearing process, and to make the process more accessible to those who want to participate only when specific issues or topics are under discussion. Both objectives are laudable.

However, an issues-based hearing format has the effect of forcing the Applicant to split its case into multiple parts. This is potentially prejudicial to the Applicant – especially if the issues identified for litigation do not correspond to the manner in which the Application has been structured.

The EcoJustice group wants hearings in Vancouver, largely because many of its members are there, with staff lawyer Barry Robinson, saying to the JRP:

The Coalition recommends that the Panel consider adding a fourth hearing location in Vancouver. The Coalition notes that, logistically, many of the witnesses and counsel that would appear in Prince Rupert would travel through Vancouver. If the vast majority of the witnesses and counsel to appear on any given issue will be required to travel from or through Vancouver, the Coalition recommends that the issue be heard in Vancouver to reduce travel costs and related greenhouse gas emissions.

However, the Coalition is sensitive to the needs of local intervenors in the Prince Rupert area and would ask that the Panel use its discretion in allocating topics to be heard in Prince Rupert and Vancouver.

And later:

The Coalition recommends that the Panel consider hearing final argument in Vancouver as a third location. The Coalition is supportive of the Panel providing an option for remote participation.

Coastal First Nations have a similar proposal. Art Sterritt, Executive Director says:

the JRP should consider holding hearings on marine issues in Vancouver with video links to Prince Rupert and Kitimat as a way of reducing the costs to Intervenors (many experts and legal and technical representatives live in the lower mainland) and in recognition that Kitimat is the proposed site of the Marine Terminal and that there are many people in the lower mainland who use the area for recreational, commercial fishing and other uses.

It appears that there will soon be controversy over the time allotted both for questioning and final arguments. The Haisla, other First Nations and Ecojustice and even Northern Gateway appear to want more time for questioning and cross-examination, while, for example, the Canadian Association of Petroluem Producers, the industry representative says it:

is still considering the scope and extent of its participation in questioning during the final hearings. CAPP will work with other intervenors in order to minimize the overall time required for cross examination.

It is clear that Enbridge Northern Gateway is planning tough cross-examination of the intervenors and their evidence:

Northern Gateway intends to cross-examine each of the authors of reports prepared for Interveners opposing the Project, and filed as written evidence. In some cases, the evidence filed with the Panel does not identify authorship, which makes it impossible to specify who will be cross-examined. Materials filed by certain interveners also include information collected through means such as access to information requests, which also makes it impossible to identify who might speak to such evidence if it is allowed to remain on the record.

Northern Gateway’s review of the written evidence filed by interveners has identified approximately forty five detailed reports that have been prepared for this proceeding. Reports of a more basic variety, those that provide general information on traditional use matters and reports of marginal relevance need not be subject to extensive cross-examination by Northern Gateway (if at all). Although no final decision has been made, for planning purposes the Panel should allot approximately twenty hearing days for cross-examination by Northern Gateway. Once a decision has been made on hearing venues and format, we will provide a more definitive estimate to Panel counsel and to counsel for the interveners involved. Where Northern Gateway does not consider it necessary to cross-examine a particular author, we will advise others of that so as to avoid unnecessary expense and inconvenience.

The Coastal First Nations are also planning tough cross-examination:

Coastal First Nations intends to cross-examine NGP, Transport Canada, Canadian Coast Guard, DFO, CEAA (as crown consultation coordinator and expert on environmental assessment methodology) and possibly the Government of B.C. These cross examinations will focus on risk assessment, spill response, measures to prevent incidents, and reduce risk of spills, consequences of spills, and Aboriginal consultation. Naturally, until the JRP approves the government participants we wish to cross-examine, and NGP identifies the witnesses they will present, it is difficult to determine the amount of time needed for cross-examination. It would likely take several hours of cross-examination for each party.

The Hasila say:

The Haisla Nation does not have any input into the proposed general schedule as set out above, but does question the two-month period provisionally allotted for the questioning phase in accordance with the revised Hearing Order. The Haisla Nation anticipates that the questioning phase will require substantially more than two months.

The Wet’suwet’en also object to the short notice given for the May 30 procedural meeting:

The estab!ishment of this regulatory process is insufficient to afford meaningful consultation to the Wet’suwet’en. We are hard pressed to try and prepare our hereditary leaders and clan speakers in such short notice, especially with a long weekend within the timeframe, some of our leaders and speakers are out on the territories preparing themselves for their summer traditional food gathering, and cultural activities. There is insufficient time given to the Wet’suwet’en for this process.

The Wet’suwet’en say (and this likely applies to other BC First Nations) that hearings as proposed could make it difficult to consult with elders saying “discussions with hereditary leaders and elders must take place, as per our custom…”

All of this comes as Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Natural Resoures minister Joe Oliver and many in the right-wing media want the hearings sped up, which means the May 30 meeting may be heated and any decision politically charged.

Too Close for Comfort by Eleanor Moran

Too Close for Comfort
By Eleanor Moran
Published by Simon & Schuster (22 September 2016)
ISBN: 978-1471141720

Publisher's description
Mia Cosgrove is a high-flying psychotherapist with a thriving practice, but when she receives a desperate phone call from her oldest friend, Lysette, she puts her London life on hold to rush to her side. A friend of Lysette’s, Sarah, has plunged to her death from the top of a multi-storey car park, a text message on her phone next to her, simply saying ‘I’m sorry’ with a single X, left unsent and unaddressed.

At first the police are convinced it’s a suicide, but when another death rocks the rural community Mia is asked to help the ramped-up investigation. Why are the close-knit group of mums who surrounded Sarah so reluctant to share what they knew about their beautiful, troubled friend? And how high a price will Mia pay for her determination to unearth the truth and discover what really happened?

My verdict
I enjoyed A Daughter's Secret by the same author, so welcomed the opportunity to read Too Close for Comfort, which features some of the same characters.

Again, this book is a slow burner. It's more a psychological study of relationships between friends, with plenty of drama and intrigue, than a psychological thriller. There wasn't that much of a 'thriller' element, less than in the author's first book, although this didn't impact on my enjoyment at all.

The writing is beautiful, providing vivid descriptions of people and places. The characters are well drawn with realistic flaws. I found myself gradually immersed into the lives of these women and the close-knit community in which they live. I was intrigued to discover what secrets they were hiding - and why. There was so much raw emotion bubbling under the surface - and on the surface - from pain and grief to lies and bitterness.

I admit I wasn't sure about the big reveal at the end - how realistic it was. But overall, this was a very enjoyable read and one that I would recommend.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher.

PowerShow icon OfficeOne PowerShow

Display multiple slide shows with Matrox TripleHead2Go
Matrox TripleHead2Go is a VGA video splitter box to allow 3 displays to be connected to the system. The way it provides this capability is to tell Windows that there is only one monitor but with a dimension 3 times the normal monitor width. The Matrox TripleHead2Go box splits the display content across three outputs on its own. This clever technique requires only one input but can output different content through different displays.
To show multiple slide shows simultaneously through Matrox TripleHead2Go, we will use the TickerShow feature of OfficeOne PowerShow. The TickerShow feature allows multiple slide shows to be displayed simultaneously on the same monitor. It requires a Layout presentation that specifies the position and dimensions of the slide shows on the monitor. For TripleHead2Go's triple-width monitor, we would use the layout presentation available here (layout_triplehead2go.ppt). The layout presentation specifies three presentations Pres1.ppt, Pres2.ppt and Pres3.ppt. Each of these presentation covers different slices of the triple-width monitor. Effectively, this makes each presentation appear fully on a monitor.
Following are step-by-step instructions:
  1. Open Pres1.ppt, Pres2.ppt, Pres3.ppt and layout_triplehead2go.ppt in PowerPoint.
  2. Select Slide Show | Ticker Show item.
  3. Select the monitor 2 as it is the one that has TripleHead2Go attached to it.
  4. Select layout_triplehead2go.ppt in TickerShow Layout Presentation box.
  5. Click Start Show button.
This will start Pres1.ppt on one monitor, Pres2.ppt on second monitor and Pres3.ppt on third monitor of Matrox TripleHead2Go.

Saint Ronan of Dromiskin, November 18

November 18 is the feast of a seventh-century County Louth abbot, Ronan of Dromiskin, a victim of the dreaded Buidhe Chonaill plague of the 660s. When I first began to look into the details of the saint's life I was confused by references to a Ronan of Drumshallon, who may have been the same person. In the extract below, however, from a 19th-century antiquarian paper on the monastic history of County Louth, this confusion is put down to the great 17th-century hagiologist, Colgan, having been somewhat imprecise in his terminology regarding the location of Dromiskin:

THE earliest mention of Dromiskin, or, as it would be more correctly spelt now, Drumiskin, is the establishment there of a church, or monastery, by St. Patrick

"Extruxit etiam ecclesiam, postea celebrem, quae Druim-Inisclainn, appellatur, in regione de Delbna; in qua etiam duo ex ejus discipulis, nempe DaLuanus de Croebheach et Lugadius Aenghusio, Natfraichi filio, Mumoniae Rege,natus.”

to which Colgan appends this note:

"Nobile Monasteriutu de Druim inis clinn (Canonicorum, ut puto, Regularium) est in ea Comitatus Luthensis parte quae hic Delbna appellatur, et est juxta civitatem Pontanam"

a remark which, evidently, misled Archdall, Lanigan, and others, as to its position, which they assigned to Drumshallon, within four miles of the municipal bounds of Drogheda.

The neighbouring abbey of Louth maintained its ecclesiastical position much longer than did that of Dromiskin. It may appear improbable that two churches, each intended to be a centre of missionary work in a country only dimly illuminated by a glimmer of Christianity, should have been established and built about the same time, at Dromiskin and at Louth, within six miles of each other, but it is really not so. The fertile plain of Muirtheimhne was a granary for the marsh and forest country on its west, which grew comparatively little corn, and for the mountainous districts to the north, which mostly reared cattle. The beauty of its gently undulating surface attracted the notice of the apostle as he travelled northwards from Munster, after his seven years' sojourn there.

Dromiskin lay close to the high road leading to Ulster, along the shore of Dundalk bay. It seems evident that the founding of a church at Dromiskin must be assigned to this time, for the first presiding bishop or abbot of the establishment was Lugaidh, son of Aenghus, King of Munster, who had been baptized by St. Patrick, at Cashel, while he was in the South of Ireland. Colgan mentions another disciple of the saint as being at Dromiskin at the same time, Dala, or Molua of Creevah, but of him we know nothing further here. Lugaidh is numbered among the saints of Ireland. He died a.d. 515 or 516, and his festival is November 2nd…

The next abbot at Dromiskin, of whom we have any account, though he was not the next in succession, was Ronan, son of Berach. Berach was a disciple of St. Dagoeus, bishop of Inis Chaoin (Iniskeen), about the middle of the sixth century. A miracle, performed by him, similar to Elisha's, in 2 Kings iv. 42-44, as we are told, caused his master to say he was unworthy of such a pupil; and on his leaving, Dagoeus gave him a short staff (Bacull gearr), and a bell, which, under the name of Clogberaigh, was preserved, as a relic, at Cluan da lochia. However this may be, after leaving Iniskeen, he entered into the monastic state at Glendalough, and died Abbot of Cluain-Cairpthe, in Roscommon.

St. Ronan was a more remarkable character than his predecessor, St. Lugaidh, of whom we have but little more than his name and royal pedigree. His name occurs in history; he was venerated for a long time after his death, and is still remembered by a holy well at Dromiskin bearing his name. He is said to have suffered an indignity at the hands of Suibhne, son of Colman Guar, prince of Dalaradia, whom he denounced; in consequence of which Suibhne went mad after the battle of Magh Rath (Moira). If, according to Tighernach, this battle was fought in A.D. 637, St. Ronan must have been abbot before that year, and the period of his rule must have been a long one.

In the year 664 a pestilence, which broke out first in England, made its appearance in Ireland. Irish writers call it Buidhe Chonail, or the Yellow Jaundice. Among its numerous victims, St. Ronan's name is recorded. He died, November 18th. His relics, which we may presume had been carefully preserved at Dromiskin, were, one hundred and thirty-two years afterwards, placed in a shrine of gold and silver. But the Danes were even then coming into Ireland; forty-three years after that they had begun plundering in Louth, and it must have fallen into their hands soon after.

F. W. Stubbs, 'Early Monastic History of Dromiskin, in the County of Louth' in The Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Fifth Series, Vol. 7, No. 2 (Jun. 30, 1897), pp. 101-113.

About Our Services

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom Teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in your mouth. This generally occurs between the ages of 17 and 25, a time of life that has been called the "Age of Wisdom." Anthropologists note that the rough diet of early humans resulted in the excessive wear of their teeth. Normal drifting of the teeth to compensate for this wear ensured that space was available for most wisdom teeth to erupt by adolescence. The modern diet, which is much softer, and the popularity of orthodontic tooth straightening procedures produce a fuller dental arch, which quite commonly doesn't' leave room for the wisdom teeth to erupt, thereby setting the stage for problems when the final four molars enter the mouth.

What is an Impacted Tooth?

A tooth is termed impacted when there is a lack of space in the dental arch and its growth and eruption are prevented by overlying gum, bone or another tooth. A tooth may be partially impacted, which means a portion of it has broken through the gum, or totally impacted and unable to break through the gum at all.

How Serious is an impacted tooth?

Impacted and partially impacted teeth can be painful and lead to infection, gum disease, and bone loss. They may also crowd or damage adjacent teeth or roots. More serious problems may occur if the sac surrounding the impacted tooth becomes filled with fluid and enlarges to form a cyst. As the cyst grows it may hollow out the jaw and permanently damage adjacent teeth, the surrounding bone and nerves. Rarely, if a cyst is not treated, a tumor may develop from its walls and a more extensive surgical procedures may be required to remove it.

When Should I have my Wisdom teeth Removed?

It isn't wise to wait until your wisdom teeth start to bother you. In general, earlier removal of wisdom teeth results in a less complicated healing process. If excision of wisdom teeth is indicated, earlier removal can result in a less complicated healing process. The AAOMS/OMSF study strongly recommends that wisdom teeth be removed by the time the patient is a young adult in order to prevent future problems and to ensure optimal healing. The researchers found that older patients may be a greater risk for disease, including periodontitis, in the tissues surrounding the third molars and adjacent teeth. Periodontal infections, such as those observed in this study, may affect your general health.

Must the Tooth Come Out if it Hasn't Caused Any Problems Yet?

Not all wisdom teeth require removal. Your oral and maxillofacial surgeon will help you determine what is best for you. Not all problems related to third molars are painful or visible. Damage can occur without your being aware of it. As wisdom teeth grow, their roots become longer, the teeth become more difficult to remove and complications become more likely. In addition, partially or totally impacted wisdom teeth may cause problems as patients age.

What happens during Surgery?

Before surgery, your Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon will discuss with you what to expect. This is a good time to ask questions or express your concerns. It is especially important to let the doctor know about any illnesses you have and medications you are taking. Most wisdom tooth extractions are performed in the Oral and Maxillofacial surgery office under local anesthesia, intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Your Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon will discuss the anesthetic option that is right for you.

What happens After Surgery?

Following surgery, you may experience some swelling and mild discomfort, which are part of the normal healing process. Cold compresses may help decrease the swelling, and medication prescribed by your Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon can help manage the discomfort.

Please follow your post-operative instructions closely, as they will help you to be most comfortable during the first few days after surgery. The majority of patients begin to feel improvement in 3-5 days. If deemed necessary by your doctor, a post-operative visit will be scheduled.

(lazy mom) Halloween Cookies

Cookies. You love them.  I love them.  Everyone loves them.  If you don't love cookies, you may as well stop reading right now.  Growing up my mom was a stay at home mom- my brother and I were lucky.  (I never realized how much so until I became a mom.)  And that mother of mine, she loves cookies- let me adjust that- she loves making cookies. Every holiday, every celebration, she'd whip up a batch of homemade cookies to send to school with us.  I remember her driving us to school with the big old rectangular Tupperware full of her treats.

Now my mom, she wasn't a lazy mom.  No sirree.  She made sugar cookies.  She made the dough, chilled the dough, rolled the dough, cut out the shapes, baked the cookies AND she decorated those suckers.  I still love those cookies. (She still makes them at Christmas, but my dad has horned in on the decoration duty)

I have made special ones like that for my kids- like these

and these

But this year, I'm feeling a little..... lazy.  Ok, maybe not lazy.  If I was truly lazy, I wouldn't have made anything.  But the Mr does not like "shortbread" cookies- he's a die hard chocolate chip guy. So that means I have to eat the cookies.  And I do not need to eat the cookies.  So what to do.

Well, you buy these.

Oooh, eyeballs.  Gotta love it.

I was inspired by these

Gooey Monster Cookies Recipe on { lilluna.com } ADORABLE!!

But wanted to have my own twist.
I grabbed my favorite baking book- Flour by Joanne Chang

Grabbed the ingredients

And away we went.

Butter, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, baking soda, chocolate chips.

Oh did I forget to mention the cute helper.  You really need one of those.

***if you have a problem with raw eggs please avert your eyes*****

I followed the instructions for the cookies (the recipe is at the end of this post) but pulled them out when they will still slightly underbaked.

Then we took the eyeballs (you can't bake them, they will melt and won't be eyeballs, they'll just be yuck)and pressed them into the soft-ish cookie.

Lazy mom cookies or not.  I think they're pretty awesome.

Maybe not as snazzy as mom's cookies, but she made more than cookies for us, she made memories. And that my friends, is exactly what I want to do too.

Flour Bakery's Chocolate Chunk (or Chip) Cookies

From the Flour cookbook, recipe also available here

- Makes approximately 24 large or 5 dozen small cookies -

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract  (I always do a big splash)
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup bread flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate, chopped (with 62% to 70% cacao recommended)
2 1/2 ounces (70 grams; scant 1/2 cup) milk chocolate, finely chopped

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.  Add eggs, one at a time, and beat together until thoroughly combined, 2-3 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk flours, baking soda, and salt together.  Add chocolates and stir together.  On low speed, gradually add the flour-chocolate mixture and mix until evenly incorporated.

Scrape the cookie dough to an airtight container, cover and refrigerator overnight (or at least 3-4 hours), or up to a week.

To bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center of the oven.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.

Drop 1/4-cup dough rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart. Lightly press down on each round with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly.  Bake until edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft, about 15 to 18 minutes.  Let cool for about 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.  Repeat with remaining cookie dough.

***If you are making smaller cookies- drop tablespoon size cookies onto the lined sheet.  Baking time is less 10-12 minutes, depending on your oven and how well done you like your cookies.****
Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.  The cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
