On the morning of our third full day in British Columbia, my husband Ralph and I departed for Victoria, the place of Emily Carr’s birth in 1871 and the city where she spent most of her life. We boarded a bus in front of our hotel in downtown Vancouver and rode to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal, where the bus drove right onto the first deck of the BC Connector ferry, parked and let us out. On the top deck we discovered a glassed-in buffet restaurant; on this rainy day a perfect place to observe the landscapes of sea, sky, and forest that Emily Carr loved as we sailed across the Strait of Georgia.
A few hours later, at the entrance to the Victoria’s Empress Hotel (where Emily often endured ‘high tea’ with her parents and four sisters), Emily herself greeted us, or so it seemed, sketch pad in hand. Emily’s Javanese monkey ‘Woo’ perches on her shoulder. Her beloved purebred Bobtail sheepdog ‘Billie’ stands nearby.
Cast in bronze, the commissioned statue is a masterful rendering of this visionary artist who captured the coastal forest landscape, generally around her Victoria home, in a way previously unseen in British Columbian art.
Over the next three days, Ralph and I walked the paths Emily once walked: along the Victoria waterfront, through Beacon Hill Park where wild peacocks roam, past Parliament buildings, and totem poles and First Nations monuments in Thunderbird Park.
While viewing the First Nations collection in the Royal British Columbia Museum we came face-to-face with two and three-dimensional representations of the history, art, and culture of the people to whom Emily Carr paid homage in her paintings and writings.
On her many—often solo—travels to Native villages in and around the northern part of Vancouver Island, Emily discovered how closely the Indians were linked not only to their traditions but to nature itself: their lives were regulated by the tides and seasons as well as by the myths that surround their guardian spirits. For her, an outsider, nature and tradition were memorably combined in “the great stillness, the solemn old grey poles towering above the tent, the shorter mortuary columns crowed with their crusted coffins, the water softly lapping the pebbly beach, & the sullen roar of the distant surf.”
According to biographer Maria Tippet, in these deserted villages Carr was able to experience the wholeness that she sought all her life: everything was part of everything else.
Picturing the Giants: The Changing Landscapes of Emily Carr was the name of the major exhibition of Emily Carr’s work at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. Carr was an early and ardent environmentalist who championed the preservation of old-growth forests she portrayed in her work. Among her most famous is Above the Gravel Pit.
About this haunting painting art critic Andrew Hunter writes in “Clear Cut,” an essay: “More boldly even than her scenes of heavily-logged terrain, the gravel pit expresses the dramatic transformation taking place around Carr: the steady growth of Victoria and its methodical encroachment on the surrounding landscape … Not a virgin wilderness but a space transformed and scarred by human presence and industry.”
While in Victoria, I was reminded that Carr had years of formal art training in British Columbia, San Francisco, London, and Paris. She began her artistic career as an art teacher. She converted the barn at her family home into an art studio in 1894 where she taught art to children. Later, in 1906, she moved to Vancouver to start a job as an art teacher at the Vancouver Studio Club and School of Art, but left to open her own studio and to teach children’s art classes. Carr dabbled in a variety of styles prevalent in the early 20th century, such as Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, and Expressionism. She was not, by any means, a self-taught child prodigy.
Months later and back in Minneapolis, I still smile when I think about how Carr travelled around Vancouver Island sketching and painting landscapes in a caravan outfitted for herself and her companion animals, a caravan she named “The Elephant.”
And then, from time to time I think about how incredibly interesting it would have been to travel with her.

Wire stripping is a mechanical insulation separation process which can be performed by various methods. Two of the most common methods are Rotary Blade and V Blade. This article will outline these two methods, the advantages and drawbacks.
A wire stripper with a rotary blade has one or two blades centered around an opening that the wire is pushed through. A wire guide sized to the wire OD ensures the wire does not rotate in an oblong fashion and cause damage to the inner conductors. The blades are adjusted to match the ID of the wire without nicking the inner conductors. During processing, the blades close around the wire and rotate to slit the jacket. A number of revolutions may be required to separate the insulation slug from the wire. This depends on the thickness and insulation type.
The rotary blades provide a very clean shoulder on the insulation. The rotary action of the blades also twists the stands of single conductor stranded wire, which helps in the insertion of the wire to a terminal block or PC board hole prior to wave soldering. Non concentric wire can be problematic and cause less than desirable results in nicked strands or jagged separation of the insulation. Below is the operation of the Carpenter 72C which shows the action of the rotary blade to strip wire.
[embedplusvideo height=”326″ width=”530″ standard=”http://www.youtube.com/v/8T8hAGueyuE?fs=1″ vars=”ytid=8T8hAGueyuE&width=530&height=326&start=&stop=&rs=w&hd=0&autoplay=0&react=1&chapters=¬es=” id=”ep2622″ /]
The V blade configuration provides good quality wire stripping of a large range of wire cross sections. This blade style is used on bench top single process wire strippers, automated cut/strip machines and fully automated work centers such as the Schaefer Megomat Primo XLT. Adjusting a V blade wire stripper is fast and changeover to a different wire takes only a few seconds. The angle of a V blade is typically 90 degrees. This angle is generally accepted as the best providing optimum overall results on a wide rage of wire sizes. Narrow entry angles such as 30 or 60 degree are also used but would be deployed on specific applications. The V blade strips the wire at four points and not the whole surface as a rotary blade does. Special configurations like the Lakes patented Uni-V blade adds a secondary angle which provides more contact to the blade.
Other V blade configurations are full radius and tangent radius V. The blade illustrated above is full radius blade for a Carpenter Compu-Strip 97A. This blade is sized for a specific wire cross section. Adjacent wire sizes cannot be stripped with a radius V blade.
The illustration above shows the Tangent radius (Lakes Precision TA-V). The entry angle lines meet the arc at a tangent point. This type of blade, when closed, presents a diamond shaped edge profile.Advantages: By adjusting cutter head shut height, ( if insulation material and wall thickness allow), you can process
adjacent wire sizes with the same blade, or you could compensate for off-center wire extrusions.
The video below illustrates the operation of a 90 degree V blade in a Carpenter 77E heavy duty wire stripper.
[embedplusvideo height=”326″ width=”530″ standard=”http://www.youtube.com/v/yP33QA8PnoE?fs=1″ vars=”ytid=yP33QA8PnoE&width=530&height=326&start=&stop=&rs=w&hd=0&autoplay=0&react=1&chapters=¬es=” id=”ep3394″ /]
The V blade profile with its variations can process a large variety of wire sizes and insulation types. The four point contact on the 90 degree V blade provides a lesser quality shoulder than the rotary but can be offset by the use of a full or tangent radius V blade.

Thanksgiving Menu 2022: Pull-Apart Rolls, Classic Stuffing, Cheesy Potato Gratin, Red Wine Cranberry Sauce, Pie, Make-Ahead Gravy, and More
Earlier this week while strolling through the grocery store, a display case spanning the aisle stopped me in my tracks:
It was lined with boxes of Bell’s Seasoning, the sight of which normally makes my heart sing, but which on this particular day filled me with panic: Thanksgiving, it struck me, was two weeks away. Less than two weeks away.
This happens every year — this gigantic holiday arrives out of nowhere — and the acknowledgment of its nearing always fills me with a bit of anxiety: so much to do, so little time!
And so I set to work drafting my timeline and grocery list, the act of which put me at ease, transforming my worry into excitement: I’ve mentioned this before, but I genuinely love making Thanksgiving dinner, which in recent years has been (and will be again) at my sister’s house.
Nothing makes me happier than waking at dawn to bake off the pies, sipping coffee while the house is still quiet, clearing out the fridge of all the parbaked dishes, assembling others from scratch, seeing the punch bowl bob with lemon slices and a slowly melting ice ring, and, if time permits, taking a stroll with my sister while the turkey bronzes away in her tiny, perfect oven.
I hope the feast, in whatever capacity you celebrate, fills you with similar joy. Readers, I am grateful for you — for your thoughtful notes and suggestions, for your questions and comments, for your support and encouragement. Thank you. I’m wishing you all health and happiness as we head into the holiday season.
Below you will find all of my favorite recipes for Thanksgiving. There are printable timelines at the very bottom. Good luck. Gobble Gobble.
- What to drink? Punch, of course.
- Holiday Bread No-knead, no excuse.
- Classic Bread Stuffing My favorite part of the meal every year.
- Potato Gratin Two Ways.
- Mashed Potatoes Creamy, Dreamy, Herby & Utterly Delicious
- Sweet Potato Casserole A classic.
- ALL the Sauces Make-ahead gravy, cranberry, mustard, and more.
- Simple Salad Palate cleanser.
- Other Sides If you’re up for it.
- Dessert Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie.
- Vegetarian Entrée? Two show-stopping ideas.
- Turkey Dry-brined.
- Schedule Get organized! Downloadable and printable timelines included!
PS: 25+ Thanksgiving Side Dishes
Philadelphia Fish House Punch
If you’ve never made a “house” punch, I highly recommend it, and I highly recommend this one: Philadelphia Fish House Punch, a mix of brandy, cognac, rum, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Since discovering this recipe eight years ago, there has not been a Thanksgiving, New Year’s Eve, or Easter for which I have not made it. Its reception, without fail, is wild, and for this, I look forward to making it more than just about anything during the holiday season.
Dust off your punch bowl! Freeze your ice ring! And start juicing those lemons!
This recipe calls for 1.5 cups of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Lemons can be juiced several days in advance; stash the juice in the fridge till Thanksgiving Day. Be sure to make your ice ring at least a day in advance.
While any bread is welcome at the holiday table, there is something particularly festive about a roll, especially for Thanksgiving. Both of the recipes below are no-knead, and each dough can be made ahead of time and stashed in the fridge until you are ready to bake. Video guidance is provided for each of these recipes.
On the left: No-knead Buttermilk Pull-Apart Rolls: slightly sweet, soft and squishy, these pull-apart rolls resemble Parker House rolls in both taste and texture. On the Right: No-Knead Thyme Dinner Rolls: buttery and crisp on the exterior and soft and tender on the interior. I love the flavor thyme imparts, but rosemary or sage or a combination of the three would be nice here. You can also omit the herbs entirely.
If making rolls is a page-turner for you, you could make a batch of this no-fuss focaccia. The beauty of this recipe is that it’s best made the day before and tucked in the fridge — on Thanksgiving morning, you would just let it rise at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours. You can bake it when the turkey is out of the oven.
This kale and caramelized onion stuffing is a variation of the one in my cookbook, Bread Toast Crumbs. After 45 minutes in the oven, it emerges with a crisp golden exterior and a creamy center, flavorful enough to eat on its own, but welcoming to many a relish, sauce, gravy, or anything else the Thanksgiving plate has to offer.
Know you can customize the seasonings and add-ins to your liking. Also: you can make it ahead and freeze it. See instructions in the post for how to freeze it.
I love the kale and caramelized onion version, but if you’re looking for a very classic stuffing, made with onions and celery, seasoned with Bell’s Seasoning, find that here:
Potato Gratin Two Ways
Alice Waters’s potato gratin is a dish my mother has served at nearly every big holiday gathering for as long as I can remember. It often steals the show no matter what it’s beside, turkey or otherwise.
It comes from Chez Panisse Vegetables, which offers a number of enticing combinations — potato with turnips or celery root or leeks or sweet potato — but we always use potatoes exclusively and keep the seasonings simple too: salt, pepper, thyme, and just a dash of freshly grated nutmeg. Submerged in a mixture of equal parts heavy cream and chicken stock, topped with a mixture of Gruyère and parmesan cheeses, these potatoes emerge irresistibly crispy on top and creamy underneath.
This year I’m going to welcome a second potato dish to the Thanksgiving table: this cheesy hasselback potato gratin, a recipe I’ve been eyeing for about a year now, one that did not disappoint when I gave it a spin last weekend.
If you are unfamiliar with Sally Schneider’s mashed potato recipe, let me tell you a little bit about it. True to many of Sally’s recipes, this one calls for very few enrichments, relying on big flavor ingredients and techniques instead.
In this recipe she uses buttermilk because it has a natural creaminess yet is far lower in fat than milk or cream. She also uses some of the reserved potato-cooking liquid to thin the mash as needed. And finally, only after the potatoes have absorbed the liquid, Sally adds a single tablespoon of butter. By adding the butter at the end, she says, “the butter stays on the surface of the potatoes, its flavor readily discernible, imparting a truly rich finish.”
Every time I make these potatoes I am astonished there is no cream and very little butter — they taste far richer than they actually are.
In this buttermilk mashed potato recipe, you’ll find a few variations, including roasted garlic, which I love, and also spicy-scallion, which is my favorite: not only are these potatoes visually very appealing, they’re also just so darn tasty, creamy and tangy thanks to the buttermilk, and bright and spicy thanks to the herb-and-chili infused olive oil.
4 Holiday Sauces
All of the sauces below can be made in advance. Bring cranberry sauces and mustard sauce to room temperature several hours before serving, and bring the gravy to a gentle simmer before serving.
On the left: Sally Schneider’s Red Wine Cranberry Sauce (an old favorite, also delicious when made with Port). On the right: No-Cook Cranberry Relish (sweet, tart, orange-scented, and delicious).
Gravy & Mustard Sauce
On the left: Simple, Make-Ahead Gravy. What is especially nice about having gravy made before the bird is even roasted is the mental assurance that as soon as the bird is done, you can (after it rests) serve it without too much of a last-minute scramble. On the right: My Grandmother’s Mustard Sauce: We rarely make a ham for Thanksgiving, but if we do, we make my grandmother’s mustard sauce, affectionately known as the ham sauce!
I love a simple green salad on Thanksgiving. Here are three favorite salad dressings, all of which keep for weeks in the fridge.
- Apple Cider Vinaigrette (I have been loving this one for its simplicity.)
- Classic Shallot Vinaigrette (I make this in large batches, and it’s so nice to have on hand.)
- Lemon Vinaigrette (Light and bright! Very refreshing.)
If you like the idea of a heartier side dish or if you’ve been enlisted to bring a side dish to your Thanksgiving gathering, there are four ideas and here are 25 More Thanksgiving Side Dishes.
Foolproof, Food Processor Pie Dough
One of the best ways you can get a jump start on your Thanksgiving preparations is to make your pie dough in advance. The recipe in the video above and in the recipe here, which includes instructions on how to parbake your pie dough yields two rounds. If you want to double it, I recommend measuring all of the ingredients and making two consecutive batches (no need to clean the food processor in between) as opposed to trying to make a double batch all at once. I use this recipe for all of my pies, tarts, galettes, etc.
Every Thanksgiving I make Ronnie Hollingsworth’s Most Excellent Squash Pie, which comes from Kristin Kimball’s, The Dirty Life, in which she writes: “Pumpkin shmumpkin, winter squash has more flavor and better texture.”
I couldn’t agree more. I also always make David Lebovitz’s no corn syrup bourbon pecan pie and some sort of apple tart, either this apple frangipane galette or this French apple tart. Sister Pie’s salted maple pie has become a recent favorite.
Vegetarian Thanksgiving? Butternut Squash Lasagna, Two ways
One snowy Thanksgiving in Vermont, this butternut squash lasagna, brought to the feast by a vegetarian friend of my aunt’s, stole the show. This is the kind of dish you will want to make all winter long, one you’ll want stashed in your freezer, ready to take to a friend in need, the crowd-pleasing recipe you’ll turn to for your next holiday party, one proven to please both carnivores and vegetarians alike.
This other butternut squash lasagna with greens and mushrooms, which employs the butternut squash sage sauce used in this recipe, is a recent creation. How does this one compare to the beloved one described above? Well, it’s just different, a little lighter, more vegetal, but just as delicious in its own way.
And last but not least… the turkey!
Here is the simple method I use for dry-brining a turkey: I use salt alone (as opposed to salt and sugar) and I use 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per pound. Rub the turkey all over with the salt, place it in a giant plastic turkey bag, and transfer it to the fridge for 48 hours.
On Thanksgiving morning, pat the turkey dry, set it on a rack in a roasting pan, brush it with melted butter, season all over with salt (lightly), and pepper; then transfer the pan to the oven and roast it till it looks done, which will vary depending on the size of your bird.
If you’re not feeling turkey, you could make a ham! Don’t forget the ham sauce.
Countdown to Thanksgiving Schedule
Below is a relatively detailed Countdown to Thanksgiving timeline. If you’d prefer to create your own, here it is in a Google Doc — you can create a copy of it, which you can edit/add notes to. There are printable timelines below as well.
- Make a double-batch of peasant bread (4 loaves, 2 of which will go into a double batch of stuffing).
- Make your dressing of choice:
- Make a double batch of stuffing through the step at which you cover the pan with foil; freeze each pan.
- Brine the turkey.
- Make a double batch of pie dough, stash in the fridge.
- Freeze the ice ring (for the punch)
- Juice the lemons (for the punch)
- Make the simple syrup (for the punch)
- Make the cranberry sauce.
- Make the buttermilk pull-apart rolls through step 5; cover the pan and stick it in the fridge overnight. Or…
- … make the dough for the thyme dinner rolls, stick it in the fridge to rise overnight.
- Make the gravy.
- Roast the squash for the butternut squash pie.
- Measure and mix the fillings for each of the pies (pecan, butternut, salted maple, apple)
- Make the potatoes: For this recipe, make it 3/4 of the way — remove the pan from the oven after 35 to 40 minutes — just as the potatoes are starting to brown and the liquid is thickening. For this recipe, remove the potatoes after 60 minutes (see recipe box for more details). Or if you’re making mashed potatoes, make them through the end of step 2.
- Make (salted) whipped cream for the pies.
- Roll out the pies and parbake them.
- Rise early and bake off the 4 pies.
- Bring the turkey to room temperature, and prepare it for roasting.
- Prepare the salad — toss it at the last minute.
- Finish baking the potatoes. If you made mashed potatoes, you can re-warm them using a double boiler or in a crock pot or Instant pot on the warm setting.
- Assemble the punch.
- Bake the stuffing.
- Roast the turkey.
- Bake the rolls — while the turkey rests and is carved, there should be plenty of time to bake off the rolls, which means they’ll be piping hot when you gather around the table.
The below printable timelines mostly reflect the above schedule. Print your copies here: Timeline | Chart. Add your own notes and to-do’s. Good luck! Gobble Gobble.

Thanksgiving Menu 2022: Red Wine Cranberry Sauce
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 2 cups
- Diet: Vegan
Adapted from Sally Schneider’s A New Way to Cook
I almost always use Tawny Port these days in place of red wine because I always have a bottle of it open. Use what you like. I absolutely love this sauce — I don’t know why I make it only twice a year. It’s great with roasted squash and other vegetables, turkey, of course, but also roast chicken and other meats — it’s just a great, spiced, sweet-tart condiment to have on hand this time of year.
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup dry red wine or Port (an inexpensive Tawny Port)
- 1/2 cinnamon stick (1 1/2 inches)
- 1 package fresh or frozen cranberries (about 12 oz.)
- 1 tablespoon slivered tangerine, clementine or orange zest, or more to taste
In a saucepan over moderate heat, combine the sugar, red wine and cinnamon stick; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the wine is reduced slightly. Add the cranberries and zest. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the cranberries are soft and the sauce has thickened. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Category: Sauce
- Method: Stovetop
- Cuisine: American
Keywords: red, wine, cranberry, sauce, orange, cinnamon

You are a goddess!!! Thank you for making charts and timelines!! I was sweating all the details of our feast, then your newsletter arrived and I’m saved! I’m printing the timeline and chart now and making a shopping list. You’re fantastic! Xoxo
Awww thank you, Becky 🙂 🙂 🙂 It’s totally my pleasure. Hope the planning is going well, and Happy Happy Thanksgiving to you!!
I like everything . Although my favorite is my Aunt Alice oyster stuffing . She and Dr. Willams . Her neighbor . They lived on the Sacramento River had the best Thanksgiving and Christmas events together . It’s always my favorite to make now.
I have always wondered about oyster stuffing … never tried it! Sound wonderful 🙂
Thank you Ali! I have been eagerly anticipating this post. Happy Thanksgiving! I appreciate you (and this blog) so very much
I appreciate and miss you, Melody!! Sending you lots of love. Wish we could have Thanksgiving together. Love you xoxo
Thank you so much for this great resource. I love your recipes! I saw instructions for freezing the kale stuffing. Is it possible to follow the same instructions to freeze the classic stuffing? Basically prepare as directed but before baking, transfer to freezer. Then bake from frozen on thanksgiving?
Yes, absolutely! And thank you so much 🙂 🙂 🙂
This year, more than any other in the past, Thanksgiving seemed to have snuck out of nowhere. Here’s a tip, after the major day is over, email yourself notes for next year. Reading my 2021 email, which is kind of funny, I have interesting quips like, “Make half the gravy – no one eats, this family doesn’t like stuffing – don’t even try to make it fancy and make half, no one wants cake – don’t make, tart dough – use old recipe but Dessert Person lamination technique, pumpkin pie – use Smitten’s recipe but Preppy Kitchen’s technique…” Hoping everyone has a relaxing one next week.
Smart! Love this idea 🙂 🙂 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you for this fantastic schedule! We are hosting thanksgiving for the first time this year and I will definitely put it to use. Appreciate all your delicious recipes. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you, Carolyn 🙂 And Happy Thanksgiving to you! Good luck hosting. It’s going to be the best!
I love Thanksgiving menus! Thank you so much. (And red wine cranberry sauce … wow!)

On Tuesday, Giancarlo Stanton played in his fifth career All-Star Game. But it wasn’t until this year’s game that he finally found success in the Midsummer Classic.
Stanton entered Tuesday’s game 0-for-6 with three strikeouts in All-Star Games. He struck out in his first at-bat against the National League Tuesday too. But then things changed.
With the American League down 2-0 in the fourth, Stanton took Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin deep for a monstrous two-run homer to tie the game.
Byron Buxton followed with a homer to break the tie, and that was it for the scoring in the game. The AL won 3-2, and Stanton was named All-Star Game MVP.
Stanton was asked after the game how it felt to win All-Star Game MVP at Dodger Stadium, which is near where he grew up. The New York Yankees star had trouble finding the words to express his feelings.
“Can’t really explain how special this is. It’s hard to put into words that this is reality right now. It’s really cool; I’m soaking it all in,” Stanton said.
The Los Angeles native was the only player with multiple RBI in the game. After starter Shane McClanahan struggled in the first, the AL pitching staff shut things down and did not allow any runs the rest of the game. In fact, after McClanahan allowed four hits in the first, the entire staff allowed just one more hit thereafter.
If it wasn’t Stanton to win MVP, then the rest of the AL pitching staff deserved it.

Day 1 Frankfurt Int. Airport/Cologne
Your Magic Cities Rail tour of Germany starts right from Frankfurt Int. Airport. The airport has a long distance train station right at the terminal and the High-Speed ICE train takes you in less than one hour directly to Cologne Central Station. Your hotel is located in walking distance from the station. Cologne, one of the oldest cities in Germany. Travel time to Cologne is about two hours. The Romans founded a village located on the River Rhine and called it “Colonia”. Just outside Cologne Central Station, you find Cologne´s most famous landmark, the Kolner Dom (Cologne Cathedral) which is the largest Gothic church in northern Europe. Each of both towers has a height of more than 500 ft., the Cologne Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the landmark still is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne. In the Cathedral, you find the High Altar made out of black marble (which was installed in 1322) as well as the Shrine of the Three Kings (created in the 12th century). Admission to the Cathedral is free. For a fee, it is possible to climb up the tower and to visit the treasury. If you are interested in perfume, a visit to the Fragrance Museum in Cologne, the birthplace of the Eau des Cologne, is a must do. The Fragrance Museum is located less than 10 walking minutes from Cologne Cathedral and a visit allows you to discover three centuries of fragrance history. Another Museum, the NS-Documentation Center of the City of Cologne, may be interesting to visit for those of you interested in the history of the “Third Reich”. It is located in the former headquarters of the Cologne Gestapo (secret police) which is also only about 10 walking minutes from Cologne Main Station (If you are interested in Nazi Germany/WWII history, you may also want to take a look at our History Rail Tour“Fascination and Terror –Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”). The Old Town of Cologne is located just a little south of Cologne Central Station. Shopping is great along the “Hohe Strasse”, a pedestrian zone, and in the streets going east toward the Rhine River you will find many places to eat and enjoy a Koelsch, a local specialty beer.
During your one-hour Panorama Cruise on the Rhine River you will see the many sights of Cologne.
Day 2 Dusseldorf
Your Germany Vacation Package continues with a short, less than 30 minute, train ride on board the High-Speed ICE train from Cologne to Dusseldorf. Your hotel is located within walking distance from the rail station. Take a walk on Dusseldorf’s Rhine embankment promenade, which was built between 1990 and 1997. It is an expression of the city’s Mediterranean lifestyle. Dusseldorf is known for its exquisite shopping experience and Dusseldorf’s Koenigsallee (King´s Alley), called the “Koe”, is more than a street to shop on – it’s an international trademark. The “Who’s Who” of the fashion world presents itself here, you will find numerous flagship-stores, small boutiques, luxurious jewelers and impressive shopping malls. Do not miss the Old Town which is also known as the “longest bar in the world“: more than 300 restaurants, taverns, and night-clubs are lined up next to each other. Make sure to try the local beer specialty, The “Altbier” (old beer), a top fermented ale in a dark copper color. Prost!
Day 3 Berlin
Today you will be on your longest rail journeys along your Germany Rail Circle tour. In a little less than 4.5 hours, the High-Speed ICE train will take you from Dusseldorf directly to Berlin Central Station. Germany´s capital city is a great and dynamic metropolis. The Unification of East and West Berlin 25 years ago changed the city in many ways. Berlin fascinates visitors its culture and history are unique. Your tour includes the 48-hour Berlin Welcome Card. With this card, you will have discounts to 200 museums, city tours, and attractions and it includes a pass for unlimited free use of the Berlin public transportation system. With your tour package, you will receive Berlin Walking tour suggestions as well as information about the public buses “M100” and “M200”: the buses are public Double Decker buses which cover many sights of Berlin and are a perfect way to explore the city by hopping on and off those buses. They run very frequently all day from 5 am until midnight, and if you take both routes you will have a circle taking you from the former Center of East Berlin (“Berlin Alexanderplatz”) to the Center of West Berlin (“Bahnhof Zoo”, “Ku´damm” shopping area). Bus M200 takes you south of the “Tiergarten” to West Berlin´s Bahnhof Zoo where you may want to visit the “Gedachtniskirche” (Memorial Church) as well as the KaDeWe, continental Europe´s largest department store, which is located close to the Ku´damm. Bus M100 takes you back through the Tiergarten and partly north of it, passing the “Siegessaule” (Victory Column), Bellevue Palace (built in 1786 for the younger brother of Friedrich II, Ferdinand of Prussia. Today the seat of Germany´s President), the Reichstag (German Parliament), the Brandenburg Gate and the Museum Island back to Berlin Alexanderplatz.
Day 4 Berlin
On your second day in Berlin along your Europe Rail tour, your Berlin Welcome Card will still be valid. However, your tour package also includes walking suggestions which cover many of the sights around Brandenburg Gate which can best be visited by foot. From the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag (German Parliament) the walking tour passes by the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, to Berlin´s new city center, the “Potsdamer Platz”, to “Checkpoint Charlie”, to East Berlin´s Culture- and Shopping Street “Friedrichstrasse” (site of the “golden twenties”), to the “Gendarmenmarkt”, where the German and French cathedrals are located, via the promenade street “Unter den Linden” to the Museum Island.
The remains of the wall can be visited at Berlin´s East Side Gallery where parts of the wall have been turned into a piece of art. If you are interested in Third Reich history a “must visit” is the documentation center “Topography of Terror“. It is located at the site from where the Nazis planned and managed most of their crimes. For those of you interested to visit a Concentration Camp Memorial site: a half day trip to the Memorial and Museum Sachsenhausen in Oranienburg can be arranged (see Day 7 of our History Rail Tour “Fascination and Terror –Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”).
Day 5 Weimar
On Day 5 of your Magic Cities and German Classics Rail Circle Tour, you will travel by High-Speed ICE train and Speed-Rail IC train via Leipzig to the German Classics City of Weimar. Weimar is famous for its cultural heritage, home of many musicians, writers and poets such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller. Your hotel is located in walking distance from Weimar Central Station. From your hotel, a nice walk through the Carl-August-Alley will take you into the inner circle of the Old Town. The whole town can easily be visited by foot.
Weimar is one of the most historic cities in Germany and it is the place where Germany’s first democratic constitution was signed after the First World War, giving its name to the “Weimar Republic” period in German politics from 1919 to 1933. Adolf Hitler often visited the city – probably he liked the classic touch of Weimar seeing himself in the long tradition of German Classics. At the Hotel Elephant, which is located right at the market square, Hitler had the hotel room renovated for him. The room still exists and it has a balcony overlooking the marketplace where he often greeted crowds. Among the many sights to visit in Weimar is the City Palace. Inside there are memorial rooms in honor of Christoph Martin Wieland, Johann Gottfried Herder, Friedrich Schiller and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and also houses the Palace Museum with its large painting collection. If you plan to visit the Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek (historical library) with its beautiful Rococo hall, you will have to let us know in advance so we can purchase tickets for you, waiting time is up to 6 months. The Goethe National Museum, the Schiller House as well as the Liszt House are among sights to visit. The Marketplace and the “Park an der Ilm”, a beautiful park located close to the Marketplace at the Ilm River, with Goethes Gartenhaus (Garden House). If you are interested in the architecture of the “Bauhaus” you may want to visit the Bauhaus Museum.
Day 6 Erfurt
In about 15 minutes the High-Speed ICE train will get you to Erfurt. Your hotel is located within walking distance from Erfurt Central Station. See where Martin Luther studied, bow heads where he prayed and walk the same medieval streets. At almost every turn, there’s a reminder of the man who launched the Reformation. Erfurt was the young Luther’s spiritual home. In 1505 he graduated from the University with a Masters in philosophy. It is said that a violent storm close to Erfurt that same year prompted him to become a monk at the Augustinerkloster (Augustinian Monastery) in gratitude for his survival. Martin Luther stayed there until 1511 and was ordained as a priest in St. Mary’s Cathedral. Even after he had left the city, he often returned to preach to enthusiastic crowds, in the university church (St. Michael’s) for example. It has been more than 500 years since Luther was a student at the collegium maius, the old Erfurt University’s main building, which is now being restored.
The Augustinian Monastery, dating back to 1277, houses an exhibition that shows the life and work of its most renowned resident. You can visit Luther’s cell in addition to its impressive library with many rare books. Another important structure in Erfurt is the Barfusserkirche, or the Black-friars’ “Church of the Barefooted.” Most of the church was destroyed in 1944, but even in its present condition, the church is one of the greatest examples of German ecclesiastical architecture of the 14th and 15th centuries. Luther also preached here in 1529 before the Franciscan monastery was discontinued. Other significant sites for those interested in the Reformation and its leader are the Luther monument (next to the Merchants’ Church on the Anger road) and the “Haus Zum Schwarzen Horn” at Michaelisstrasse 48. This building housed Mathes Maler’s printing workshop, where many of Luther’s pamphlets were printed. Do not miss having a Thuringer Rostbratwurst, a Thuringian sausage. You will find several grills in the Old Town where these delicious sausages are being served!
Day 7 Frankfurt
After breakfast, for the last time with your Germany Rail Vacation Package, you will take the High-Speed ICE train directly to Frankfurt. Travel time is about 2:15hrs. Your hotel is located close to Frankfurt Central Station. Frankfurt is a very modern metropolis which nevertheless offers many historic sites such as the Romerberg with its historic town hall, the “Romer” as well as the beautifully restored timber-framed houses; Goethe Haus where the world famous poet once lived and the Paulskirche, symbol for democracy and freedom in Germany. The Frankfurt museum riverbank is one of the most important locations for museums in Germany and Europe. The exhibition buildings are lined up on both sides of the Main riverbank, several famous museums are to be found in the city center. Visit the “Staedel”, the German Museum of Architecture as well as the Museum of Applied Art or the “Schirn Kunsthalle” to name only a very few. Don’t miss out on Frankfurt’s “Zeil“, a huge pedestrian zone where shopping is the name of the game.
Day 8 Frankfurt Int. Airport
Today your 8 Day Magic Cities and German Classics Rail Circle Tour ends. Depending on the departure time of your return flight you may have some more time for sightseeing in Frankfurt. Travel time from Frankfurt Central Station to the terminal at Frankfurt International Airport is less than 15 minutes and your rail ticket is valid for any train that day. You have a wide variety of trains going during the day (about every 10-15 minutes) and you may use the train at your convenience. You may also extend your stay in Frankfurt if you like. Just let us know and we will be happy to add accommodation to your package. It is also possible to extend the package by two extra days in nearby Rudesheim am Rhein: from there we are able to arrange an all-day Rhine River Cruise through the Upper Rhine Valley.Would you like to download an overview of the 8 Day Magic Cities and German Classics Rail Circle Tour (8R04) as a pdf to print it out or to forward it to a friend?

Thousands of officers will patrol New York City for the annual New Year’s Eve celebration amid inflamed tensions between the city’s police and the Black community, Capital News reports.
RELATED: Ezell Ford Autopsy Results Released
The police deployment will reportedly involve extra protection for officers in the aftermath of the recent murders of officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu.
John Miller, deputy commissioner of intelligence and counter-terrorism for the NYPD, said social media sites have reported planned protests at Times Square.
Capital News reports:
“This event is a major commitment by the department. We will be patrolling the city by air, by sea, on the ground and in the subway system,” said chief of department James O’Neill during a briefing at police headquarters on Tuesday.
In addition to Times Square, there will be events in Coney Island and Central Park, he said.
Police commissioner Bill Bratton (pictured left) met Tuesday with Mayor Bill de Blasio and the leaders of law enforcement unions in an effort to ease tensions. Officers began exhibiting hostile behavior toward the mayor after lone gunman Ismaaiyl Brinsley ambushed Ramos and Liu two weeks ago as they sat in their patrol car on a Brooklyn street. Police, including some who turned their backs to de Blasio as he eulogized Ramos, blamed the mayor for the shootings, accusing him of contributing to soaring anti-police rhetoric.
“In light of what happened two weeks ago on Saturday, of course, you know there’s a concern for every member of the New York City Police Department,” O’Neill said, when asked if the department was taking additional precautions for officers. “This is something that’s in real recent memory, it’s something that every cop in New York City is concerned about.”
O’Neill did not say what precautions would be taken, but said all officers would be partnered — a protocol that has been in place on New Year’s Eve for years, the report says. He said protesters would be allowed in Times Square as long as they are nonviolent.
“Our policing philosophy is going to remain consistent,” he said. “As I’ve stated since the end of November, beginning of December, people have an absolute right to protest still and as long as they do it peacefully and laws aren’t broken, that’s the way we’re going to police the event.”

One of my biggest aims for the PPP module was to develop my existing skills in order to improve the quality of my work. The images above are of a piece of work submitted to the COP 3 module where i have improved my skills greatly. I wanted to work in a more realistic way that was still illustrative. I have previously worked in a more cartoon esque style which i like but i thought i should try something a bit different. I am really pleased with the result of this. Using the thinner thread in a variety of red tones has meant that the colours fade into one and other almost seemlessly giving a more life like finish.
Prior to this piece i experimented with a variety of different colours and thread – images below. The images below all use a thicker thread- and although there is some colour fading there it’s definitely not as effective as the thinner thread, whcih i think i will use for future works where i want to utilise this technique.

I know my 1700 CFM 2 stage dust collector is way quieter than a 6.5hp shop vac
Wow Tom that is a great post on dust collection with a lot of information. Can you post a picture of your miter saw dust collection? I would be interested in seeing what you did. Here is what I did but I am always looking for better. I use both a shop vac and a big dust collector.Hi Herb,
As you know I've spent a lot of effort on DC stuff. My small shop has really altered for the better after installing a Wynn 1 micron drum filter on the HF 2hp unit. This thing really pulls a lot of air and almost nothing in the way of particles gets away. The other thing that has helped is the installation of a WEN filter, the cleans out the fine, airborne particles that never make it to the DC. It is pretty cheap on Amazon.
The rest of the stray sawdust is from the top of machines, And that takes hoods and individual DC solutions. I recently bought an over arm DC for the table saw, but haven't had time or energy to put it in place. I have a good 10 inch saw with excellent below table dust collection. DC already exists on most of my other tools. Some are better than others.
I contained the messiest tool, the sliding miter, by hanging a clear shower curtain around the back side of it. By pulling the blade through the piece toward me, a chute is created that when I push back to complete the cut, throws nearly all the sawdust back into the curtain. The curtain is gathered at the bottom into a box with a DC fixture on the bottom. But it's that pull-push move that really does the job, not so much the suction.
Add a chip collector to your DC unit. Lots of good designs out there. Pick one.
One thing I think you'll have to address is carrying the sawdust up on your clothes and shoes. If momma don't like it, it's time to make some changes. Here's what I'd do:
Get a dust collection fixture that makes it easy to vaccum up the floor every time you do some work down there. My DC has a 4 inch tube (rockler with a wide spout) to pick dust up off the floor. Don't let it sit there, it will find its way up
Install the WEN (now $118) https://www.amazon.com/WEN-3410-3-S...TF8&qid=1492735301&sr=8-2&keywords=WEN+filter
Find a way to brush off your shoes. Try this, but mount it on a box into which you can plug your DC hose. https://www.amazon.com/Boot-Cleaner...1492735463&sr=8-4&keywords=shoe+cleaner+brush
Along with brushing off your shoes, find a vacuum attachment that will let you vacuum off your shirt and trousers. Do this very thoroughly or momma won't like it. If you have sawdust in your hair, you can vacuum that off too, but don't go after your ears. Sawdust in your hair gets on momma's pillows.
Consider getting a full coverage apron to catch as much sawdust as possible. Close up the pockets. Vacuum it after use. Denim Woodturner's Apron | Rockler Woodworking and Hardware
If you can manage it, find a way to lay down some linoleum or paint the floor to make cleanup easier.
Clear away everything from the floor, up the wall 16 inches to make cleanup easier to do.
I'm sure you could do a lot more, but these fixes really worked well for me, and didn't cost that much. The Wynn canister filter was the big item, the WEN unit wasn't bad, the shower curtain and hanging hardware was maybe $25. I already had the long 4 inch hose and fixtures. A small price to pay for peace at home.
I coincidentally built a Shop-Vac cabinet back in the pre-youtube days that looked just like the one in that video, only it hinged open from the top and was 3/4" particleboard. Same result as yours. I was pulling dust off a guitar body while a friend was routing it and he was shocked. He said he thought it was off, then the dust just started flying into the hose. Sadly, when I upgraded to one of the newer yellow and black ones, the stock unit was nowhere near as irritating and wasn't worth the hassle and space of another box.I run mine in a similar cabinet to this and the noise has dropped from an ear piercing scream to a low whine that can not be heard when any other machine is running.
Running a ground wire solves that, but I wasn't suggesting wrapping the whole system, just key points, such as the impeller housing and the ports in and out of that. A chip collector also seems to help reduce noise as well. I was hoping someone could give a name to that gooey stuff used in cars for noise suppression, about half an inch thick, it would be easy to cut to shape to fit the impeller housing, which is where most of the noise originates in my system. I also keep several pair of "ear muffs" around since my hearing is already pretty iffy. Too many rock concerts in my past.Dan, sorry, that remark was not aimed at you as such, just a response to the thread.
Tom, there is a small risk completely wrapping the system in foam. Yes it cancels the noise, but you would need to earth the pipework in several places to stop a spark igniting the dust. This is a risk anyway, but with the piping all wrapped up, a fire could start in there anmd you would not be aware of it untill it melted its way out and burnt the place down.
@kklowell I think I found the original product. Adhesive, thick, Dynamat 11103 Dynaliner 32" x 54" x 1/2" Thick Self-Adhesive Sound DeadenerI remember that product well, but unless it was called "sound deadening mat" I can't remember its name. At any rate, here's a modern alternative https://www.amazon.com/Noico-Insulation-Self-adhesive-Deadening-Automotive/dp/B00URV8MFC


There has been a lot of ranting from Speedplay customers and it prompted me to consider a change myself (long time user of Speedplay Zero Track model). I find it hard to support a company like Speedplay if even half of the thread comments are true.
The search for new pedals had parameters, in no particular order: small company with good service (and a desire to work with customers as opposed to suing them), low-profile design, rebuildable, light weight, no rider weight limit, pricing that did not break the bank when outfitting multiple road bikes. I crossed Look, Time and Shimano off the list for various reasons because I wanted to try something new. Keywin
seemed like a good fit to try out. Out of the Box – Weight and looks:
’s come in either ti or cro-mo axels, with 5 choices for axel length (neutral, -3, +3, -6 and +6 mm). I received the Keywin CRM
Ti road pedal with a -3 mm axels. This translates to a distance between the crank and the middle of the pedal body is 52mm.
The weight was spot on at 192 grams for both pedals. The cleats and hardware added another 46 and 28 grams respectively for a total system weight of 266 grams. That is a pretty good start for a light system that only costs 120 EUR (ti axel).
The weight loss from the Speedplay Zero Track system (pedals, cleats, hardware and 3 ‘LeWedge’ shims) was 67 grams.
I have not taken any photos on the scale, but the weights were calculated in an acceptable digital kitchen scale.
The pedals have a decidedly industrial ‘prototype’ look to them - not really an issue for me as they are out of sight when riding. And for contact points, it's 'function before form'. The box that it all came in is very low key and simple – not the unnecessarily expensive presentation box that Speedplays now come in. This probably helps keep the Keywin
price point down a bit. Set Up:
This was extremely easy. The cleats are thin, but the last time I had pedals with such a cleat, it was Look Delta, so I surmise that they are close in priofile to similar competitive pedal systems. The Keywin
cleats seem custom formed to suit the shape of Sidi carbon soles. The 3-bolt pattern was a refreshing change after years of 3-bolt adaptors with Sidi shims and 4 bolt cleats for the Speedplay systems. In comparison to Speedplay, the set up for Keywin
was a breeze.
I ride with a heel in position so Speedplay offered a very friendly design to find the right foot position. Those of you with drastic heel in positions will have difficulty with Keywins. I am sure you could probably file down the bolt holes in the cleats to achieve proper position though. The pedal design has 6 degrees of float, which can be limited with some small internal clips to a fixed position.
My saddle height was only altered a few mm when making the switch to Keywin
from Speedplay Zero. Based on the low profile Keywin
cleat, I think people switching from Look, Time and Shimano might have to do more. Keywin
claims the stack height is 17 mm. Speedplay Zeros are 12 mm, as I recall, but my LeWedge shims increased that some. I have only raised the saddle 3 mm up and 1 mm forward so far.
There is plenty of fore-aft space in the cleat to suit most cleat positions. If you run a mid-sole position, I would inquire directly with Keywin
about positioning and cleat flexibility. From the look of it, one could probably get quite close to a mid sole position if your shoes’ mounting holes are set back a bit. First Impressions:
Stomping down on a Speedplay pedal and the two sided entry is a mindless exercise. Plus, the Zero Track pedals sound like a gunshot when you engage the pedal. Going back to the toe forward entry action with the Keywins was not the easiest in all honesty. The Keywins also have almost no audible feedback to tell you the pedal and cleat are engaged. This was unnerving and I still find myself pulling up on the shoe to test the connection even after a few hundred kms of testing them.
This reduced entry speed combined with reduced cornering clearance (compared to Speedplay) may cause the competitive crit riders reading this shy away a bit. However, I was accustomed to pedalling through corners after years on Speedplay and have not changed my riding style with the Keywins - so far no pedals caught!
I originally switched to the Speedplay Zero Track model a long time ago because I was pulling out of other pedals including regular Zeros, Look (Delta cleat models) and Campagnolo. I have not pulled out of the Keywins yet, but do have concerns about my wayfaring heels causing an untimely release. The clip that holds the back of the cleat in place when engaged is so small that I have (no doubt misguided) fears of ripping it out of the pedal body. I have given it a few good sprints/intervals and static tugs with no unexpected releases. I will continue to test this are carefully and watch how the retention clip wears long-term. (There is a track adaptor that locks the cleat down completely – no release – but this is seriously not recommended. Ha!)
With Speedplay pedals I was forced to use 2 shims under one foot and 1 shim under the other to keep my feet/knees aligned. I am running the Keywins without any cleat shims so far and do not have any knee or ankle pain/soreness. My knees are tracking evenly and no hot spots experienced yet either. This was all a very pleasant surprise that I cannot explain yet, but I am beginning to wonder about how unhealthy that small amount of lateral rock in the Speedplay Zero system is…
cleats are thin and look frail compared to the Speedplay 'armored' plates, so I have been limiting my walking as much as possible. I corresponded with Keywin
and they advised that cleat covers are being considered. Just in case, I ordered several sets of spare cleats with the original pedals.
Having said that the pedals bodies appear to require less maintenance than the Speedplays – no weekly lubing, etc. – so far.
The pedals certainly spin better than Speedplay, which is not saying much, but there is more friction than with top Look or Shimano models. I expect the Keywins to loosen up a bit as the bearings break in.
An interesting design feature is that the float in the system is achieved in the pedal – the pedal body and cleat move in tandem and the float is achieved by the pedal body moving in relation to the axel. I wonder if this will produce less of the squeaking that a lot of other 3 bolt cleat system users experience?
As mentioned above, the pedals can be run with either a fixed or 6 degree float. However, it bears mentioning that the radial float setting can be adjusted with respect to stiffness. If you dislike the “ice skate” feeling that Speedplays can produce when standing, etc. then this is a nice option in the Keywins. It does take some patience to get this stiffness dialed in though, so take a deep breath, read the instructions and go with micro adjustments in between tests.
I do not feel any lack of stiffness in the system in comparison to the Speedplay Zero Track. Both seem to have shorter axels and a narrow Q factor, so they feel solid. For reference I am 189 cm and 87 kg currently... Shrinking due to age but losing weight too Ordering comment / Service:
I am in the EU and there is limited distribution on the Continent for this New Zealand-based company’s products. My online order took 6 weeks to complete (a site that stated a 7-day lag) and it was clear after receiving the pedals that, just by reading the Keywin
website, I knew more about the product that the EU retailers. I was miffed about this experience and wrote directly to Keywin
. They responded quickly, apologized and offered to process a direct order should I want to order multiple sets for my other bikes. (Note: Austria does not have a designated distributor, so there is no conflict here.) The correspondence with Keywin
also confirmed that they are a very nice bunch.
So, lesson learned from ordering is that if you are in the EU and want these pedals or replacement parts, plan ahead and explain exactly what you want (axel width, spindle material, etc.) to the retailer (example: I expected to receive the neutral or standard length pedal axels and received -3 mm instead.) Closing Comment:
So far the weight, ease of set up, leg comfort and affordability of the Keywin CRM
pedals seem to trump the spotty EU availability, perceived reduced cornering clearance and entry speed.
Hope that helps in some way. I will try to report back later after a few thousand km’s are in the pedals. http://www.keywin.com/crmclipless.html
I do not represent, nor am I vested in, Keywin
products in any way other than as a recent consumer.

A felon stopped his car briefly near a south Minneapolis intersection and his passenger fatally shot a man in a parked vehicle, leaving the victim to die in the arms of a friend, according to charges.
The driver, Shane M. McPike, 35, of Hopkins, was charged Friday in Hennepin County District Court with second-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm in the death of Adrian Carr, 35, of St. Louis Park.
The shooting happened shortly before 4 p.m. on Feb. 23 in the 3400 block of Snelling Avenue S.
The suspected gunman remains at large in what police say was not a random act of violence. Police declined to say what prompted the shooting.
McPike appeared in court Monday and remains jailed in lieu of $1 million bail.
According to the criminal complaint:
A call to 911 about shots being fired sent police officers to E. 34th Street and Snelling. The officers saw a man in the back seat of a car holding Carr's bleeding head.
The man told police that he and Carr had driven to the area to retrieve items from Carr's vehicle. Soon after arriving, they saw McPike drive by. Another man was with McPike.
Carr got in his vehicle and his friend heard gunshots. The friend said the shots came from a man sitting in the front passenger seat of McPike's car. He identified McPike as the driver.
McPike was arrested the next day. Police searched his car and recovered a handgun inside a sock. Shell casings at the scene were consistent with the caliber of that gun.
In 2006, McPike was convicted of a felony-level drug offense, making it illegal for him to possess a gun.

Sarah*, a social worker, was on duty when she had to help a colleague take two children into police protection because they were at risk of human trafficking and sexual abuse. The two had been put into foster care earlier that day but had since “done a runner”.
“We had to go to the place they had been removed from to see if they were there,” she explains. To protect themselves against the coronavirus, the social workers had to wear aprons, masks and gloves as they went in to look for the runaways.
The two children they were trying to find were not at their home, but the social workers did find their younger brothers and sisters. “We must have looked like aliens. It was just horrible,” Sarah says.
Social workers are battling to support families and protect children in what the British Association of Social Workers (BASW) has described as a “totally unprecedented” situation created by the Covid-19 pandemic. A recent survey of over 2,000 social workers revealed a mixed picture, according to BASW. While many social workers report that they feel well-supported by councils, the survey showed that others feel exposed to high levels of risk.
One social worker responding to the poll said: “We are being asked to buy washing up bowls to keep in our cars and wash our hands in between visits.” Another added: “No hand sanitiser, no protective clothing, no procedures or guidance – we are told it’s business as usual.”
A third echoed this sentiment: “We have seen no direction or guidance so far, other than to wash our hands.” They added that “no decisions” had been made about how they should prevent the spread of the virus as they make home visits and meet people, despite growing concerns. “We are panicking due to the lack of national guidance.”
Calls to the NSPCC have increased by a fifth since the start of lockdown measures, according to figures released by the child protection charity. It received 2,216 calls in the first four weeks of restrictions, compared to 1,867 the previous four weeks. The charity said that lockdown measures were “intensifying abuse and increasing the impact it has on children who can’t escape it.”
“Most of the services have packed up, so it’s hard to access mental health support, counselling, parenting skills work,” notes David*, a child protection social worker from the Midlands. This is compounded, he says, by the courts, which are only hearing urgent applications. According to David, this means the system stagnates and children who need to leave their homes are having to stay there. The rise in domestic violence, a stretched police force and lack of spaces in refuges has only added to the pressure on services. David is very concerned about the longer-term impact on social care. “Cash-strapped councils who run social care are spending money very quickly with no support announced, and they will face massive funding gaps when all this is over,” he says.
A Department for Education spokesperson said their priority is “keeping vulnerable children safe” and that the government are giving councils “more than £3.2bn of additional funding to support services, including children’s social care.” The spokesperson added that vulnerable children, alongside the children of critical workers, are allowed to continue to attend schools and nurseries. Responding to the criticism of a lack of clear guidance, they said, “We have worked with the sector to publish guidance for social workers, and thank them for their continued efforts in these unprecedented circumstances.”
Sarah says her council in southern England has taken on agency social workers to keep up with the rise in casework during the crisis, which had already been very high pre-pandemic. It has also had to deal with the temporary closure of many of the support services they would refer people on to help resolve or repair issues in families. Among social workers “the morale is just really low”, says Sarah, although she feels a move to online multi-agency meetings has made things smoother.
Andy Gill, chair of the BASW, says the situation is “totally unprecedented”. He feels the guidance to social workers from the Department for Education fails to deal with some of the realities front-line staff are facing. “If you’re visiting a lone parent family living in a small flat you cannot social distance. That’s just not possible”, he explains. Instead, some social workers are having to make imaginative use of online tools like Zoom or WhatsApp, meet families in private gardens, or even in public parks. “Obviously there has to be a level of confidentiality around that but it maintains contact with the family,” he adds.
Gill is also concerned about the impact on residential children’s homes and foster carers. He continues: “If you have a number of staff down in a residential unit clearly you are not going to be able to offer the care and support, and that is happening. We know that is happening”. What this means, he says, is that they are then having to find alternative placements, which may be much further away from home. “You are trying to keep a level of security and stability for children in unstable times.”

Kansas policymakers have decided not to expand the state's Medicaid program, or to create a Kansas-specific exchange for consumers to buy individual health insurance policies. But the Affordable Care Act is coming and it's bringing some changes to the Medicaid program, whether the state's political leaders want to cooperate or not.
The owners of a Topeka nursing home have filed a federal lawsuit in attempt to stay in business. State and federal officials have decided to cancel the nursing home's eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid payments, and revoke its operating license.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness says gaps in mental health care could be addressed if every state-including Kansas-would expand Medicaid as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act.
Rick Cagan, who heads NAMI Kansas, says the state’s system of community mental health centers is supposed to provide help for Kansans with mental illness, regardless of their ability to pay. But budget cuts have left public mental health providers unable to meet the needs…
Starting next year, states will be able to take part in a sweeping expansion of the health care program Medicaid, and the federal government will pick up most of the cost. But it's still not clear if that expansion will take place in Kansas, where the state's Medicaid program is known as KanCare.
As Lawmakers and Gov. Sam Brownback consider the expansion, some Kansans are trying to make their voices heard.
Supporters of expanding Medicaid delivered nearly 3,000 signatures to Gov. Sam Brownback's office Wednesday, asking him to support an expansion of the state's Medicaid program.
Anna Lambertson is with a coalition of organizations pushing for Medicaid expansion. She spoke during a rally at the Statehouse.
“We could bring more health care related jobs to Kansas, and improve the health of our workforce," she said. "Healthy workers, as I’m sure you know already, mean a productive workforce. That’s good for our employers and for our state."
Hospitals in Kansas could lose some federal money if the state doesn't expand Medicaid services under the federal health care law. A lawmaker helping to draft the budget says the state needs to consider assisting those hospitals.
Many hospitals receive payments to help them cover the cost of medical care for the uninsured; they are known as disproportionate shared hospital payments. As the federal health care law continues, the focus will move to funding more Medicaid services, meaning the current disproportionate share funds could be reduced or completely eliminated.
