Biography - CHARLES CLEARY
The career of an enterprising, honest business man is a matter of interest in any community, and when the public witnesses his gradual advancement and increasing prosperity it rejoices in his justly won success. During a period of more than a quarter of a century Charles Cleary has been engaged in business in LaSalle and has won the esteem and best wishes of all with whom he has had dealings.
The paternal grandfather of, our subject, John Cleary, was a farmer in Ireland, and died when about sixty-five years of age, from injuries received in a runaway. Of his eight or nine children Peter, the father of Charles Cleary, was a gentleman of excellent education and general attainments. In his early manhood he was a school-teacher, and subsequently to his marriage he turned his attention to agriculture. He was a participant in one of the rebellions in Ireland, but was too great a lover of his country to ever leave her shores. He died December 28, 1896, at the advanced age of eighty-seven, and on the 17th of March, 1898, his faithful wife followed him to the grave, she being in her eighty-seventh year at the time of her death. In her girlhood she bore the name of Frances Flynn, and her father, Henry Flynn, lived and died in Ireland. He was a shepherd much of his life, and for a few years was a pilot in the employ of the government. Peter and Frances Cleary were members of the Catholic church and reared their children in the same faith. Of their three sons and eight daughters nine are yet living, namely: Maria, wife of Thomas Cardon of Easky, Ireland; Ann, wife of John O'Donnell, of Culleen, Ireland; John, a resident of West Hartlepool, England; Charles; Kate, wife of Michael O'Leary, of Streator, Illinois; Frances, wife of James O'Leary, of the same town; Peter, of Joliet, Illinois; Jane, of Chicago; and Julia, Mrs. Michael Brady, of Culleen, Ireland.
Charles Cleary was born in county Sligo, Ireland, April 3, 1851, and received a common-school education. He was but twelve years old when he commenced learning the grocery business, to which line he has devoted himself chiefly ever since. In 1872 he came to America and for seven months was employed in New York city. The same year he came west and lived in Utica, Illinois, until the fall, when he removed to LaSalle, and for about a year was in the employ of Matthiessen & Hegeler, in their zinc works. The following four years he worked in the coal mines, and at length he commenced clerking in the grocery owned by Mr. Cavanaugh. During the next ten months he thoroughly mastered the details of the business and finally became the manager. In 1879 he purchased Mr. Cavanaugh's stock, and for several years carried on a grocery on First street, one block west of his present location, where he has been for the past fourteen years.
In his political convictions, Mr. Cleary is rather independent, but inclines to the Democratic party. A friend to education, he is now serving for the ninth year as a member of the school board. Socially, he is a member of the Royal Arcanum and the Court of Honor. He is strictly temperate in his habits, leaving all kinds of intoxicating liquor entirely alone, and in every respect his life is worthy to be held up as an example to the young.
On the 1st of May, 1876, Mr. Cleary and Miss Annie, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Manly) Durkin, were united in wedlock. They have had seven children, but Annie Teressa and Teressa Annie died when young. Three daughters and two sons remain to brighten the home, namely: Mary A., Frances, Thomas H., Charles Vincent and Loretto. In 1889 Mr. Cleary purchased his comfortable residence, which is situated at the corner of Fifth and Creve Coeur streets.

Himeko Nayotake appears only in the Sailor Moon S movie. She is Kakeru Ozora's girlfriend, and a famous astronaut chosen to go on the Luna Frontier Project. We first meet her at Kakeru's apartment, where the young man has taken Luna to recuperate after saving her from being hit by a car. Himeko maintains very realistic views, and chides Kakeru for his fantasy about a princess on the moon named Princess Kaguya. She tells him that he could have been an excellent astronaut, if only he could stop thinking about his fantasies. Still, she and Kakeru are in love.
Later, when Princess Kaguya is destroyed by the Imperium Silver Crystal, Himeko sees the light of the crystal from space and wonders if it is that of Kakeru's Princess Kaguya of the moon. Later, when she returns from her mission, Kakeru greets her at the airport with roses.
Himeko appears only in Volume 11, in the "Lover of Princess Kaguya" special. She is a childhood friend of Kakeru Ozora who wants to become an astronaut. When we first see her, she has just applied to become a crew member of Luna Frontier Project, a space shuttle going to the moon on Christmas Eve. She is very confident, and some of her colleagues call her a samurai. When the results come back, she finds out that she has been rejected, but she refuses to give up on her dreams. He follows her to America to the Kennedy Space Center, where he collapses and she finds out that he has a heart condition that prevents him from becoming an astronaut. She takes him back to Japan and puts him in a hospital.
At the hospital, Princess Kaguya comes to attack him, but Sailor Moon rushes onto the scene to save him. Sailor Moon and Luna tell Himeko that the Earth is in danger due to Princess Snow Kaguya, who materialized from a piece of comet that Kakeru found. Later, she learns that the crew for Luna Frontier Project has changed, and that she has been chosen to go into space, becoming the youngest Japanese woman to enter space at age 22. The comet has reappeared, and the space shuttle she will be boarding is to be loaded with ballistic missiles in order to blow up the comet before its impact with Earth. Himeko promises Kakeru that she will come back for him, so that they can go to the moon together in the future.
As time goes by, Kakeru becomes more and more interested in keeping the comet shard near him. Himeko sees his obsession, and breaks the crystal on the floor. Princess Snow Kaguya is angry that her body (within the crystal) has been broken, and she sends Snow Dancers all over the Earth, freezing it over. Her attack prevents the space shuttle from lifting off, but eventually Sailor Moon defeats Princess Snow Kaguya and Himeko is able to safely reach the moon. In space, Himeko thinks that she, Kakeru, and their unborn child will one day go to the moon together.
- The "take" (meaning "bamboo") and "Hime" (meaning "princess") parts of her name are a reference to the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, from which the Kaguya-hime no Koibito manga and the Sailor Moon S movie drew inspiration.

Introduction to Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT)
Welcome to this Introduction to Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). The acronym, S-B-I-R-T, is pronounced ess-birt. Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment is an evidence-based strategy for identifying alcohol consumption and at-risk drinking among adolescents, talking with them about their alcohol use and, when appropriate, making them aware of resources available to them. SBIRT requires training beyond the scope of this tutorial. Training is easy to obtain and requires about four hours. Resources for additional training are listed at the end of the program.
The goal of this course is to introduce Texas Health Steps providers and others to best practices in SBIRT and provide them with resources for obtaining training and instituting routine screening and early intervention for adolescent patients with substance use disorders or risk for developing such disorders.
Texas Health Steps providers and other interested health-care professionals.
Specific Learning Objectives
After completing the activities of this tutorial, you will be able to:
- Determine one reason why Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is recommended for use with adolescents.
- Specify two tools providers may use to screen young people for substance use.
- Evaluate three resources that help providers overcome their reluctance to address substance use with adolescents.
All data presented in the tutorial reflect the most recent year for available data.
This module includes a pre-test, post-test, and course evaluation. You must take the pre-test before beginning the course. After completing the course, you must take a post-test and score at least 75 percent to pass. After passing the post-test and completing the course evaluation, you will be able to print a certificate of completion.


Your saying it cranks good but won't start? If you have an obd11 code reader or scanner, you can check for codes.
You can do some of the basic tests, have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. You hook-up a known good spark plug or tester to a plug wire, before you crank it. The tester usually has a ground clip, where you ground it to metal part of engine or if you use a known good plug, you'll have to ground the metal part of plug to metal part of engine, then watch for spark at the tip of plug with engine cranking.
If you have spark everywhere, check fuel, a fuel pressure gage would be handy.

A ceramic, anthropomorphic wolf by a Year 12 Batemans Bay High School student is the winner of the very first Student Sculpture Exhibition. Entitled “Guardian Wolf” by Amanda Mohr, the artwork will be featured, along with 43 other pieces, in a Student Sculpture Walk in Batemans Bay’s CBD from August 20 until September 2.
Above: Year 12 Batemans Bay High School student Amanda Mohr is the winner of the very first Student Sculpture Exhibition.Pictured here with her work titled “Guardian Wolf”. Maps, available inside businesses who have agreed to display student sculptures, will lead art lovers along a trail that will delight, challenge and entertain. The event is being held in conjunction with Sculpture on Clyde which begins on August 25 and runs until September 2 at two venues: the heritage Francis Guy building at 5 Clyde Street and the spectacular Willinga Park, Bawley Point.Sculpture Walkers can also vote for Best Display and Best Student Sculpture in each business with a sculpture on exhibition. A special guest judge, however, has given her verdict and Amanda Mohr was presented with a $100 voucher from the Starfish Deli. She has also won a sculpture for her school which will be selected after the Sculpture on Clyde exhibition. Last year’s Sculpture on Clyde Emerging Artist award winner, Pascale Hattwell, carefully examined the student sculptures and assessed them according to the criteria of proportion, creativity, expression of emotion, meaning, complexity, form and composition. "The Guardian Wolf is a very intricate sculpture, well executed with contrast in colour and textures,” she said. “The quality of work of all the students was very impressive and I cannot wait to see more in the future. "The Highly Commended artists were: Ruby Fuller, St Peter’s Anglican College for Beautiful Sushi Archie Hadley, Carroll College for Wrapped Bricks Patrick Eberle, St Peter’s College for Loaded Gun Liana Verdouw, St Peter’s Anglican College for The Sambo The Sculpture on Clyde committee congratulates all the students on their work and the way they have challenged our thinking through their work.

THE WAY I SEE THINGS POLITICALLY
My fellow Americans. I come before you today to announce my tossing of the hat in the ring to run for the President of America in 2012. Already I am forming the new political party called the Silver Back Party as an alternative to donkeys and elephants running amonk. Are you fed up with their monkey business? I sure am.
Today I want to address our esteemed seniors in this great country. Have you missed your cost of living increases the last two years in your Social Security benefits? The current administration claims there was no inflation over the last two years so they canceled it. I wonder if this administration ever shops at Walmart or grocery stores much. Milk is up almost a dollar over the last two years, Twin pack T bone steaks I used to buy for about $14.00. Now I have to pay nearly $20.00 for the same steaks and they are really tougher to chew. Have you noticed your medicare co- pays have jumped from $100.00 to $200.00 on the average for surgical applications if you have part D?
Look on the bright side of this. For the last two years the current administration has voted their selves a 10% pay hike each year and they get all their health insurance paid for by us ( no deductibles). Now that sounds like an equal cut back for all parties except the Washington bunch.
If I am elected president of this great country I will enact the Cost of Living increase for seniors retro active from 2009. Now you ask how am I going to pay for this huge expense and debt? Being I favor a balanced budget, I will freeze all future pay hikes for 10 years on senators, congressmen, and their aides plus make them pay back their last two pay hikes they voted their selves. I will also force all senators, congressmen, and aids to fly coach, take the bus, and no more jumbo jets for two. That should more than pay for what they did to you seniors.
We are told by the current administration that Social Security is going broke and they must cut benefits, medicare coverage, and what medicare will cover in the future.. They claim it will save billions of dollars. My question is where is that billions of dollars savings going to? Definitely not back into the benefit fund I would guess. I recently read in a recent AARP article that social Security taxes paid by us in the last 25 years has been more that what Social Security has been paying out. It now has amassed a 2.5 trillion dollar reserve fund. I'll bet some in Washington are really salivating over that nest egg. My Pa used to tell me that Washington was raiding the Social Security fund back in the 70's for special interest projects and not paying any of it back. If I am elected President, that money will not be touched and no benefit cuts will be allowed. Medicare will again be allowing coverage for all health care needs. No rationing.
In the future weeks I will be covering more about my campaign pledges to the citizens of this great country. For one thing I pledge to give every family in this great country a banana bearing tree for nutritional needs. Nothing wrong with eating healthy foods.
PHOTOGR FOR PRESIDENT IN 2012. A CHANGE WE CAN LIVE WITH.

Higher tolls proposed to help patch state budget gap
By STEVE BOUSQUET, Times Staff Writer
TALLAHASSEE -- In their pursuit of new money to avoid deep budget cuts, state senators Thursday turned their sights on Tampa Bay's most notable landmark, the Sunshine Skyway bridge.
Skyway tolls would rise from $1 to $1.50 in July -- a year earlier than scheduled -- to help pay for port security, road right of way and high-speed rail stations. Tolls also would rise on the Veterans Expressway in Tampa, the Suncoast Parkway and the Florida Turnpike, from 6 cents to 7.5 cents a mile.
It would be the first increase in Skyway tolls since 1982, when the toll rose from 50 cents to $1 to help pay for a new bridge.
The proposed toll increases are part of a package of proposals moving through the Senate that includes a statewide fee on home purchases to pay for classroom construction and elimination of sales tax exemptions for ostrich feed and luxury suites at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.
All the proposals face stiff opposition in the House.
The toll increases (SB 406), which passed the Senate Appropriations Committee, are intended to blunt the impact of a $200-million raid on the transportation budget by Gov. Jeb Bush and the Legislature that senators say will worsen gridlock by delaying road projects.
"We can't go backward," said Sen. Dan Webster, R-Winter Garden, chairman of the Senate appropriations subcommittee for transportation. "Our lifeblood is tourism and getting them wherever they're going. We've got to have cash."
Tolls also would rise on South Florida's Alligator Alley from $1.50 to $2, and on the Beeline East Expressway in Orlando from 25 cents to 50 cents.
The new tolls had been scheduled to take effect in July 2004, but the Senate wants to move them up a year. The higher rates would not apply to customers who use the SunPass or E-Pass systems because the state wants to encourage driver participation to reduce toll-road expenses.
"We're trying to get people to switch to our electronic toll collection system and get a transponder, so they can zip right through," said state Transportation Department spokesman Dick Kane. The device costs $25.
The five-member Senate Finance & Taxation Committee passed a separate bill to levy a statewide fee on buyers of existing homes to help pay for school construction. Currently, 17 counties, including Citrus, Hernando, Hillsborough and Pasco, levy impact fees, but they apply only to new houses.
The statewide fee would replace local fees, but no county would get less money.
Bill sponsor Sen. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, has tried for years to find a growing statewide source of money for school construction. The issue has gained some urgency after passage of the class size amendment in November.
She said about 70 percent of students live in existing homes whose owners pay no impact fees, and it is more equitable to spread the cost among all home buyers.
The Florida School Boards Association and the Florida Home Builders Association favor the bill (SB 1022), but the state association of Realtors opposes it. Lobbyist Gene Adams called any statewide impact fee a tax and said it would prevent some first-time buyers from purchasing a house.
Adams said charging impact fees on older homes is unfair because the original owner paid the fee when the house was built. Impact fees are intended to help cover the cost of growth.
The fee has not yet been set. That would come later in the session if the bill survives. A fee of 50 cents on each $100 of a home's value would add $720 to the cost of a $144,000 home. That would produce $675-million to be used as collateral for a construction borrowing program.
House Speaker Johnnie Byrd, R-Plant City, is dead set against levying a new fee on home purchases. He said it's wrong for lawmakers to do anything that would make it harder for people to buy homes.
The Senate tax committee also passed bills ending sales tax exemptions on ostrich feed and on skyboxes at the Citrus Bowl, a football stadium in Orlando. House leaders say they do not want to repeal any sales tax breaks this year.
Neither exemption would yield much money. Ending the stadium tax break would generate an estimated $21,000 a year. But Sen. Steve Geller, D-Hallandale Beach, said that wasn't the point.
"I think it sends a message that we need to send," Geller said. "We have a tax policy where something gets in (the tax code) and it stays in forever. We don't have the money this year to meet our basic needs. It's a start."

4 Ways You Can Use Olive Oil to Relieve Constipation
As mentioned above, popular belief claims that you can use olive oil as a homemade natural remedy to relieve constipation. There are 4 ways you can use it and below, we tell you all about it, and give you some interesting facts.
Constipation is one of the most common annoyances that exist. A good diet rich in fiber in addition to drinking enough water and maintaining an active lifestyle can help you prevent it just as much as it can help you to treat it. However, Dr. Greenberger indicates that when it has an underlying cause, medical treatment will be the best course of action.
When we talk about constipation, we’re referring to a decrease in intestinal transit and the hardening of the stool. In turn, this affects its expulsion. Because of the associated symptoms like abdominal pain and bloating, constipation can interfere with your daily activities.
Intestinal illnesses: possible causes of constipation
There are many reasons why a person may suffer from constipation. In some of those cases, the cause may be a specific illness.
Intestinal illnesses are usually related to some kind of obstructive process that affects the natural movement of feces. Among these, we find intestinal obstructions, a narrow colon, and colorectal cancer.
These issues are quite serious. After all, they can lead to multiple complications. Pay attention to any alarming symptoms! You must take care of yourself and regularly have checkups with a doctor who’s a specialist in this area.
Poor diet: the most common cause
Having an unbalanced diet that lacks fiber, is full of animal fats, butter, and margarine as well as ultra-processed foods, candies, and general junk food, all topped off with inadequate water consumption, causes your stool to be denser. As a result, it becomes difficult to expel it.
The experts at the Spanish Foundation of Digestive System (Fundación Española del Aparato Digestivo) put high importance on the following:
- Reduce your intake of animal fats, butter, and margarine; also, products like industrial pastries (they contain acidic trans fats).
- The healthiest fat is raw olive oil; if it’s extra virgin, it also has antioxidants. and if it has an acid level lower than 0.5, it avoids you suffering from acid reflux.
- Consume meat and fish, preferably grilled or boiled with some drops of lemon juice. Twice a week, eat bluefish that’s grilled or fried in olive oil (this is less fatty than other oils).
- Increase your liquid intake: water, drinks with little-to-no calories, and juices with no sugar.
- Drink – don’t guzzle – liquids. This causes aerophagia.
- Chew your food properly, eat slowly, enjoy your food, and take your time (20-25 minutes).
Don’t forget to read: Treat Constipation with this Natural Flax Remedy
Olive Oil to Relieve Constipation
Olive oil is a substance that can be really beneficial to our health, as it’s rich in omega 3 acids, vitamin E, K, and antioxidants. It’s the star ingredient of the Mediterranean diet, and according to popular belief, is a great remedy to relieve constipation – always as an addition to a healthy lifestyle, of course.
When you consume it, many people believe that it increases the body’s bile production, making it easier for your body to digest goods that are high in fats. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can also provide relief.
Generally, it’s said that consuming olive oil helps to soften the feces and helps you maintain your colon in a good condition.
1. Olive oil and lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
- Mix the ingredients together and drink a table spoon of it.
2. Olive oil and yogurt
Yogurt helps maintain good intestinal transit. For that reason, we recommend you enjoy it with olive oil as a homemade remedy to relieve consitpation.
- 1 cup of yogurt (1/2 pint)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a cup of yogurt and mix well.
- Consume in moderation.
3. Olive oil and banana
Is there anyone who doesn’t know that bananas are a rich source of potassium? This combination will give your intestines enough potassium to perform their vital functions. In fact, potassium helps the natural and slow movement of the intestine. As a result, this prevents the accumulation of gas and swelling.
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- First, peel and cut the banana into slices, and mix it with the olive oil.
- When it becomes a smooth paste, consume it.

4. Olive oil and coffee
Yes, you read that right. Caffeine is a powerful stimulant of the muscles in the colon. Consequently, it increases the rate of intestinal flow. At the same time, it softens the stool.
- 1 cup of hot coffee (1/2 pint)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Combine both ingredients. Then, drink in the mornings.
- By doing this as a daily routine, you’ll help lubricate the colon. As a result, you may have fewer digestive problems.
Is its effect immediate?
No natural remedy has an immediate effect, not can it relieve constipation alone. For that reason, we recommend using these treatments as a complement to medially prescribed treatment, and in addition to a healthy lifestyle.
Additionally, it’s always a good idea to consult a doctor before using any kind of natural remedy to avoid counterproductive reactions or worsening the constipation.It might interest you...

This review is from: Telling Liddy (Paperback)
Telling Liddy by Anne Fine
Although I bought this book over ten years ago I decided to give it a fresh review as I have recently happily re read it after a year or two. This is a book I have gone back to many times since the late nineties and i recommended it over and over.
A tale of four sisters, Bridie, Heather, Stella and Liddy, `Telling Liddy' has a delicious shaudenfraude inducing quality. I am one of three daughters myself and so I immediately felt at home with the family dynamics.
Anne Fine is so quick and practised at building a scenario for the reader to get to grips with, making you ponder on how you would have dealt with such a tricky situation.
Bridie, the Social Worker sister, appears to be the first amongst equals, she seems to be the one that keeps this lively family of the sisters, partners, and their children together. Her own down trodden husband Dennis and their two young adult sons are however going their own ways. They are all being rather pushed aside as this formidable group of women get through their day to day lives in constant contact, helping each other and looking after the apparently weaker sister Liddy.
Heather is a successful accountant, single, with a different attitude to men than her sisters, she takes what she needs and moves on. Stella is an uber housewife with a quiet perhaps boring husband and a seemingly small mind. Liddy more flighty and with a complicated past is the child of the set, she inspires the others to take care of her. She has a new partner and a wedding is in the air, much to be happy about.
Then a spanner is thrown into the works when Stella tells Bridie a secret bit of information passed on to her by an old family friend...
From then on things really change. Decisions have to be made and the fall out is devastating.
I really enjoyed the way in which Bridie's work mates try to help and eventually do her a real service, the brave way in which she copes with what is happening to her. The effects on her marriage and her career are riveting. The story ends in a Fay Weldon-ish sort of way that leaves you thinking for ages afterwards.
A reading experience that I can only say that I found to be fascinating and truly involving, if you like reading about people and their families - try this I think you will be truly rewarded.

What a great review - I feel exactly the same about this book (having read it some time ago and about to order a new copy) but couldn't have put it in to words as well as you have. It's a great book which I think needs to be brought to a wider readership.

I am a mother of six and a grandmother of sixteen. I love to make things for my grandkids for birthdays and Christmas. They love the fingerless gloves, hats, scarves, afghans, sweaters and toys they have received over the years. I really love to share my creations with family and friends. Knitting and crochet are therapy to me-a way to relax. I take great pride in my work. Every item is made with as much care as if making it for one of my grandkids.
Joining Etsy has given me another outlet to share my love of creating with beautiful yarns. I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I did making them.
Feel free to convo me if you would like different sizes or colors. Custom orders are most welcome.

While practices that honor grief and strong emotion contain the heat of transformation, practices that help us “see with new eyes” incorporate the cool of reason, curiosity, insight, and new ideas.
Story telling is an important part of any White Awake gathering, and practices that provide a structure for telling stories can be found here. The other type of practices in the “Seeing with New Eyes” section are ones that help participants interact in meaningful ways with intellectual material that provides new paradigms, and non-dominant points of view, for building race awareness and reflecting on our own cultural identity.
Index of Practices:
- “Group Reading and Incremental Discussion”
- “White is a Racial Identity”
- “What is White Supremacy?”
- “Levels of Racism”
- “What is it that we need to heal”
- “Honoring Origins”
Group Reading and Incremental Discussion – 30 min – 1 hour (time contingent on length of the reading and size of the group)
Begin with a piece of material that outlines paradigms about race and white privilege that lays the groundwork for new responses. Two examples are the core assumptions of White Awake, found on the Waking up to Race page, and the Pax Christi online resource: Building Accountable Relationships with Communities of Color.
Break the reading up into small manageable sections (Waking up to Race is already organized according to short paragraphs with bold headings). Have participants begin to pass one copy of the reading around the circle, with the instruction that each participant read one section, then pause for group discussion. As the facilitator, keep the group discussion focused on the ideas presented in the section that was just shared. While keeping the pace upbeat, make time for short stories, and discussion about the insights, confusion, or doubt raised by the section that was just shared. Cross talk is allowed.
When the given time has passed for discussion about the first section of the reading, have that participant pass the selected material on to the next person beside them. If a participant does not want to read, they can pass their turn. Continue until all of the sections have been shared. The facilitator is encouraged to share their own insights, as a participant, as well as keep the discussion focused and moving. (back to Index of Practices)
“White is a Racial Identity” – 20-30 minutes for 15-20 participants (short lecture and “Open Sentences” with partners)
A good lead in to this exercise is the article “Who Invented White People” by Gregory Jay. The core concepts behind the article are that “race” is a social construction (not a biological one), and that recognizing “whiteness” as a racial category is a pivotal step to the end of racism. Some thoughts from the article that can be highlighted are:
When race is discussed in America, it is usually used to refer to people of color – as though people of color are the only ones with a race. Making “whiteness” invisible gives it special status. (“Who Invented White People”, pg 96)
Since the death of King, white people do not want to call themselves white or speak in racial terms. The basic social narrative is: “Race shouldn’t matter. We have a color blind society”. But this is not, in fact, the case. (“Who Invented White People”, pg 97-98)
The creation of “white” as a race is not something that happened over time. For example, Jewish people and the Irish were not always considered white, as they are now. (“Who Invented White People”, pg 100-101)
White people tend to cast question of race in terms of individual guilt (“I never” or “my ancestors didn’t” or “my ancestors did”). But fact is, this is a social phenomena. We cannot avoid participation. Focusing on individualized guilt is a distraction. We contribute to the of racism when we bring awareness to “whiteness” as a social construction. (“Who Invented White People”, pg 101-102)
Following this reading (or another that emphasizes the significance of “seeing” race, and identifying “whiteness” as a racial category), have the participants divide up into pairs. Ask each person to share with the one another the process by which they became aware that they were white, and that being white comes with privilege. Some leading questions can be: When first recognize yourself as white? By what process has this awareness has grown? What feelings surround the knowledge of unearned privilege and the cost of this privilege to others? Have you tried to do anything about these things?
Ask that when one person is speaking, the other person not speak or respond, but simply given their partner their complete, undivided attention. Allow about 2 minutes per person. When the first person stops speaking, and it is time for the second person to share, repeat the questions a second time. At the end of the time, you can ask that each pair of people share something with the group. One way to do this is for each person to share something simple that stood out to them from what their partner shared. Ask for short responses, not long stories, and emphasize a respectful, nonjudgmental attitude throughout. (back to Index of Practices)
“What is White Supremacy?” – 10-20 minutes or more
This exercise is simply a discussion based on the online article “What is White Supremacy” by School of the Americas Watch. Essentially, the material is first reviewed by participants (generally as homework, because of it’s length; however the article can be divided in sections a be used in the “Group Reading and Incremental Discussion” format listed above).
Once participants are familiar with the material, they are asked to make note of what aspects of the article stood out to them. The facilitator can keep in mind key aspects of the piece that they might want to highlight, if they are not raised spontaneously by one of the participants.
Key points you may want to highlight include:
Definition of “White Supremacy” and reason for use of term (“The term White Supremacy gives white people a clear choice of supporting or opposing a system, rather than getting bogged down in claims to be anti-racist (or not) in their personal behavior.”)
The creation myth of the United States, and the way that this is at odds with three key historical underpinnings of the creation of the nation:
1. military conquest, land theft, and genocide of First Nations peoples;
2. the essential role of enslaved African labor in the foundation of the US economy and development of wealth;
3, the initiation of US imperialism via the take-over of half of the territory of Mexico (in the 19th century) by military means.
A review of the article can be followed with more focused inquiries (using prompts for dyads, tryads, or small groups to explore). Prompts could include questions that open the way for participants to tell stories about their conception of the United States (drawing on the “creation myth” premise discussed in the article), and how this article (or some other experience in their life) might have caused conflict with this myth of origin.(back to Index of Practices)
“Levels of Racism” – 20-30 minutes
Creating a framework for different manifestations of racism can be very helpful for understanding and identifying its presence. Begin this activity with one of more large sheets of paper, upon which are written these four headings, with room for notes after each heading:
Spend about 5 minutes explaining the intention behind these different categories:
Personal – our own thoughts and reactions, which may or may not be expressed outwardly
Interpersonal – interactions among individuals or within small groups
Cultural – broad, social beliefs and practices
Institutional – systematic racial discrimination within social institutions (such as schools and universities, private businesses, and/or the criminal justice system).
After defining these four categories, open up a group process in which participants brainstorm examples of each type of racism. Try to handle one category of racism at a time, and guide the group to give examples that match the definition at hand (do not be afraid to re-categorize, for example, an interaction with a friend if it is offered as a “personal” form of racism but would be more accurately placed in the “interpersonal” framework).
At the same time, emphasize that these are not hard and fast categories but systems of thought and practice that interact with one another. The entire exercise is designed as a framework for thinking about racism that helps white people grasp the depth and complexity of its contemporary expression. It is more important that the framework serves our awareness than that we agree on exact details of its content.
Once the brainstorm is complete, it can be helpful to take a pervasive form of contemporary racism and look at how it is manifested at each level on the spectrum. The criminalization of young black men is described as a case in point here. Other forms of racism can be treated in a similar manner.
At the personal level, many white people experience fear when they see a young black man on the street. This fear may surface as a general feeling, a set of thoughts, and/or the action of locking doors or crossing the street to avoid the black man or men.
At the interpersonal level, white people may act on these fears or assumptions of the criminality of black men. An extreme example of this would be the way in which George Zimmerman interacted with Trayvon Martin. While cultural racism informed Zimmerman’s response to Trayvon, and is demonstrated in some public conversation about Trayvon Martin’s case, and while both Stand Your Ground Laws as well as the Zimmerman verdict can be seen as reflecting institutional racism, the initial interaction between Zimmerman and Trayvon was interpersonal.
At the cultural level, young black men are frequently portrayed as criminals – on billboards, in the news, and in various forms of Hollywood media. This message is embedded within everyone’s mind, and influences both how white people perceive black youth as well as how young black men perceive themselves.
At the institutional level, the incarceration rate of black men is dramatically disproportionate to the rate of incarceration of men of other races, particularly white men. Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow offers a clear and thorough explanation of this social phenomena, and many other supporting resources about this form of institutional racism can be found online.

“What is it that we need to heal?” – 20 minutes for 15-20 participants
It is recommended that the facilitator familiarize themselves with the work of Malidoma Patrice Some – through his website and, if possible, through his book Of Water and the Spirit. Some is a respected member of the Dagara tribe of Burkina Faso, in West Africa whose mission, as given by his elders and expressed in the tagline of his home page, is this:
“I offer the wisdom of the African ancestors so that Westerners might find the deep healing they seek.”
The facilitator begins this exercise by sharing this quote, and a little bit about Some’s story. An example of what can be shared follows:
Malidoma was kidnapped from home by a French Jesuit at four years of age. For 15 years Some was cut off from his tribal roots as he was trained to be a priest, abused, and almost completely stripped of his indigenous language. But he never stopped wanting to go home, and at age 19 he escaped and walked 125-miles through the jungle to return to his people.
Malidoma’s homecoming produced a crisis in the village. He was seen as having been “swallowed by a foreign way of life.” According to the Dagara experience, “the spirit that animates the whites is extremely restless—powerful when it comes to keeping that restlessness alive. Wherever he goes he brings a new order, the order of unrest. … Until he is at peace with himself, no one around him will ever be. The elders want to quiet the white man in your soul. They do not know how, but they would like to try something.”
The council of elders allowed Malidoma to undergo initiation at age 20. This was particularly risky to do so, given his age and experience in the boarding schools. But Malidoma survived, and then received his instruction – his mission – from the elders. Malidoma’s name means “friend of the enemy”.
Some describes the basic belief of the Dagara people that when a person does harm they are in great need of healing. He writes: “Western civilization is suffering from a great sickness of the soul.”
After sharing Malidoma’s story, and mission, have the participants break up in to small groups of 3-4 people each. As that each person share their thoughts on these two questions: What is it that white people need to heal ourselves? What is it within white culture, as a social phenomena, that needs to heal?
Allow approximately 2 minutes per person to share within the small group. Remind the participants that we are committed to a nonjudgmental attitude, and that the goal is to remain curious and open to what comes up, regardless of what that is.
Once the small groups have had their discussion, ask them to share something with the larger group about the conversation their small group had. While small group participants may decide together what to share, request that individual participants speak to their own experience, rather than assigning one group member the role of “reporter” for everyone else in the group.
Allow approximately 1-2 minutes for each group to share about their experience with the larger group. (back to Index of Practices)
“Honoring Origins” – 30-45 minutes with 15-20 people
This practice addresses cultural appropriation, and is best presented after a short lecture and/or discussion on the subject. Resources to help explain and investigate cultural appropriation can be found on the Themes and Resources page.
Begin by describing the practice, “Honoring Origins”, which can be used when sharing a cultural practice, object, or song from a cultural group that is not our own. Explain that it is important to honor the origins of what is shared in two primary ways: what culture the shared piece comes from, and what relationship the person sharing has to what they are sharing.
When naming the culture that the shared piece comes from, it is important to be as specific as possible. Share information about the geographical location, the name of the people from which this practice or item came, and any other detailed you can about the origins of the practice or item.
When describing one’s relationship to what one is sharing, there are two main questions to answer: how did the person sharing learn about or acquire this cultural practice or object (including who gave permission for the person to share this cultural piece, if this is relevant)?; why is this cultural practice or object important to the person who is sharing it? Essentially, the questions here have to do with the relationship between the person and the cultural piece that is being shared, and are best answered by telling a story.
A good example of this is the way in which Joanna Macy shares the Elm Dance. Before sharing the dance itself with participants in her workshop. Joanna tells the story of the Elm Dance and her relationship to it: where it comes from, who created the dance, why they created it, and how she, Joanna, came to learn and share the Elm Dance herself. Telling the story of the dance is as much a part of the practice as the doing the dance itself, and the story is never left out of the sharing.
After discussing the “Honoring Origins” practice (allowing time for a little discussion and clarifying questions, ) ask participants to break up into small groups of 3-4 people each. Have group members take turns describing cultural practices, objects, or songs (which do not inherently “belong” to that person or their culture) that individual participants value and could imagine sharing in a formal setting. Ask each person to speak to how they could honor the origins of this cultural piece. Allow enough time for some group discussion and feedback within small groups, about 3-4 minutes per person.
At the end of the small group discussion, have each group share one or two examples they came up with of how to honor origins. Ask that participants share from their own experience (rather than electing a spokesperson for the small group), and allow some time for question and answer with the larger group, about 3-4 minutes per small group share.

Hey! VINA, the female-focused friend finding app, has today announced the launch of an Android app.
The VINA app is almost identical to Tinder, except the end-result is to find women a new friend instead of a hot date.
That said, VINA only shows one photo of the user, and instead of relying fully on swipes, it uses a matching algorithm that takes into account mutual friends, location, interests, as well as information gained from BuzzFeed-style quizzes within the app.
VINA also has a media-driven approach to building communities, offering the VINAZINE. Headlines include “10 underrated Instagram accounts to follow right now,” “6 DIYs that will make you feel and look younger instantly,” and “3 reasons your potential bestie turned into a friendship one-night-stand.”
The company says that it saw 100,000 downloads in the first week it was available on iOS, back in the beginning of 2016, and has received feedback from more than 500,000 people asking for an Android app.
VINA has raised a seed round from Tinder, NEA, Greylock and Wildcat Ventures, but the terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The app has matched more than 1 million people, and is now live in 158 countries.
“Our goal is to help people find sisterhood and connection and helping them go through life,” said founder and CEO Olivia June Poole. “We want people to see that they have allies and have backup when they share their stories, and a shared connection in their experiences.”
VINA for Android will launch with an account dashboard, letting users see their social stats, create a friend list, take quizzes, and manage their community memberships. The app will also feature group messaging.
The move to Android was a no-brainer, according to June, who says that more than half of the traffic to the Hey! VINA website was coming from Android phones.

LANDIKOTAL: The stock of injections for diabetes patients has exhausted in District Headquarters Hospital Landikotal in Khyber tribal district due to which the patients are facing difficulties.
Hospital sources said many diabetes patients, including women and elderly persons, mostly belonging low or no income families, come to the hospital daily in the hope of getting free of cost insulin injections as they cannot afford to buy these injections from own pocket. The patients visiting the hospital told this correspondent that injections are not available for the last one month due to which they are facing difficulties. They said they had to buy insulin injections from private medical stores which is an unbearable burden on their pocket.
The diabetics said injections were previously available at the hospital free of cost. They said those who cannot afford to buy expensive injections from private stores are without treatment and their health condition is deteriorating.
Medical Superintendent (MS) of DHQ Hospital Landikotal Dr Nek Dad Afridi, when contacted, told TNN that the hospital administration has sent report about provision of insulin injections to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Department.
The people of Landikotal have demanded the KP government to immediately provide insulin injections to local hospital to end difficulties of diabetes patients. They said it is a matter of grave concern that the government which claims bringing reforms in health sector is oblivious to the difficulties of diabetes patients in merged districts. They said they were hoping for improvement in healthcare and other services after merger of erstwhile Fata with KP, but that didn’t happen.
In an earlier interview with TNN, MS Dr Nek Dad Afridi had said over a thousand patents daily visit the out-patient department (OPD), therefore, upgradation is required.
The MS had said the hospital will upgrade practically when it gets Category-A status. He said the annual budget of the hospital is Rs130 million, out of which Rs120 million is consumed for payment of salaries to staff. He said electricity bills however around Rs5 million, medicines are purchased withRs4 million, Rs1 million is spent on laboratory, Rs80,000 on repair of vehicles and Rs25,000 on purchase of stationery.
Dr Nek Dad said big hospitals of Peshawar like Khyber Teaching Hospital and Hayatabad Medical Complex have annual budgets of nearly Rs3 billion each and all facilities are available there. He said water supply and electricity are the two main problems of Landikotal Hospital.

FOUNDED IN 1956. LEGENDARY EVER SINCE.
Everyone knows our story—the less than stellar paint job on Koz’s 1940 Chevy Coupe that inspired him to start mixing his own color with organic pigments. Everyone knows it was 1956 when he introduced the industry to House of Kolor creating a category that would later inspire fellow painters, his peers to embrace the brand and help to create a culture. House of Kolor isn’t just a premium line of custom paint and products, it’s a lifestyle. Painters live it every day. They look to House of Kolor for its range of color capability and award-winning finish. They remember opening their first can of paint—in fact, most still have it on a shelf somewhere in their shop. You may be preserving the few drops that remain inside and holding on to the nostalgia of what the world recognizes as the first custom paint brand. That House of Kolor can is a keepsake and what’s inside is original—it can never be duplicated.
The first step in every House of Kolor paint job is always a proper undercoat. Our products prep and prime your surface for that beautiful shine that’s come. Check out our options so you know what you’re working with.
The final step is the topcoat, giving your project that show-ready finish that Kustom Krew members have craved since 1956. UV blocking, flow out, gloss… you name it. We’ve got the final touch for you.

The Metropolitan Police has referred itself to the police watchdog after a stop and search involving athlete Bianca Williams.
Williams has claimed officers racially profiled her and her partner Ricardo dos Santos when they were handcuffed and separated from their three-month-old son after a traffic stop in London at the weekend.
A Met statement on Tuesday evening confirmed the service had made a voluntary referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
They added: “We have now recorded this incident as a public complaint.
“The decision to refer to the IOPC has been taken due to the complaint being recorded and the significant public interest in this matter and we welcome independent scrutiny of the facts.
“Two reviews of the circumstances by the Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards have not identified misconduct for any officer involved.”
Yesterday, a Met Police spokesperson said no further action was needed after viewing footage of the incident.
“Officers from the Directorate of Professional Standards have reviewed both footage from social media, and the body-worn video of the officers, and are satisfied that there is no concern around the officers’ conduct,” the statement said.

The incident happened around midday on March 22 at Blountsville Elementary School, according to a statement by the Blount County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities “received word that a firearm had been accidentally discharged inside a classroom.”
Blount County Sheriff Mark Moon was cited by AL.com as saying that the teacher had the gun in his pocket when it discharged.
“It (the sound) alerted administrators,’’ Moon said, according to the report. “He was detained until we could get him in our jail.”
On 3/22/2019 between the hours of 12:30p.m and 1:00p.m. the Blount County Sheriffs Office received word that a firearm…
After speaking with school administrators, deputies found out that Weaver had unlawfully brought a small caliber firearm into the classroom and kept it concealed on his person.
The sheriff’s office said the gun discharged while inside of Weaver’s pocket. Deputies also learned that there was one child who had received minor injuries.
Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey was cited by AL.com as saying the injured student was examined by the school nurse after being struck by a fragment.
The student was treated on the scene and released.
Weaver was booked into Blount County Jail and faces numerous charges.
“Obviously I’m concerned about a substitute teacher bring a gun to school,’’ the sheriff said, according to AL.com, “and what we can do to prevent that in the future.”
Weaver has been charged with possession of a deadly weapon on school grounds, third-degree aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment.
“We are so very thankful no one was seriously injured and for the swift response of school administration,” the Blount County Sheriff’s Office stated.
The incident has sparked a range of reactions on social media.
Commenter Lynene Marsh wrote in support of arming teachers.
“If students can carry them the teacher should be able to carry! From experience my granddaughter went to Southeastern where has been 2/3 incidents happened there!!”
Social media user James Shinn argued only designated law enforcement specialists should be allowed to carry guns in schools.
“Only Sworn Officers should carry firearms on school property,” argued Shinn. “For those that support otherwise consider that the most likely person to attack students is a student not an outsider. Let teachers be teachers not police.”
“God forbid something like this ever happened,” wrote Jeremie Baker, “but if a school shooter showed up there today and this man was able to stop it with his firearm he would be hailed a hero. It’s very unfortunate what happened and thank the Lord nobody was hurt or worse. But I would rather have it and not need than need it and not have it.”
Commenter Jeremy Harbin suggested the firearm was not safely carried and Weaver should pay the price for negligence.
“I’m glad no one was hurt,” he wrote. “Most likely this was a pocket pistol which means he had a bullet chambered with the safety disengaged (if it had a safety at all). It discharged in his pocket which means that something had to come in contact and pull the trigger (a pen?). Why wasn’t the gun holstered with something guarding the trigger? This man was not carrying his gun safely and will pay the price now….which he should because he was negligent in his care of a gun. Guys like this shouldn’t carry a gun at all if they are not going to treat it with the respect its due.”
Facebook user Eric McFerrin argued the charges brought against Weaver were excessive.
“Inexcusable gun handling but the charges seem out of line for an accident,” McFerrin wrote. “Glad there were no serious injuries.”
“Be responsible gun owners and secure your weapon,” commented Troy Blair. “I’ve carried for 30 years and never accidentally discharged a weapon. Secure your triggers people.”
“We live in an evil world,” Blair continued. “And God gives us common sense to protect ourselves and our families. If someone attempts to harm my family, I will defend myself and my family and then pray for the perp once he is no longer a threat. I believe in God, Guns and America. God Bless America.”

This is a new one for me...I normally donate craft supplies, but have not really made stuff for charity before. This time it is personal though. My sister and BIL live in a small town and their local church has been so good to them during very difficult times the last few years. So when my BIL mentioned the church fete coming up and his desire to sell some of our (my sister and I) crafty stuff on the "handmade table", I volunteered to make stuff as my sister is busy packing to move to a smaller place. This is my small way to say thank you and at the same time, all
proceeds go to helping other people in need.Aren't these adorable? I found this fabulous website promoting Japanese crafting and it had links to free patterns. This is from Clover Japan and although I had some reservations about following a Japanese crochet pattern, it turned out easier than I thought. This is called a Zakka drawstring pouch, I believe. I made three and made each one different on the inside. This is my favourite!
Also from Clover Japan, this cute little bag. I changed it slightly by making a crochet handle fastened with a button. (Not sewn on yet as you can see!) Must make a pink one for myself!
This is a cute little drawstring pouch I made using the same pattern as the bag above, but on a smaller scale. Very cute. I still want to add a little crochet flower to this one.
Very simple crochet pincushion. I inserted a little bag and closed it with a single crochet stitch. I made a few of these in various colours. Still need to add buttons to all of these.
Several bookmarks. I am planning to block or stiffen them and add a little flower at the top. It will be my first try at either blocking or stiffening, but armed with some good instructions from the internet, I plan to give it a try!
Last, but not least, a cute little crochet basket! I used a tutorial to crochet the basket, but added the holes for ribbon at the top. No time to make much more as the parcel must go of this week and I still have to do all the finishing touches.
I have lots of WIP's lying around my sewing room and was horrified to discover more last night! I plan to spend some time during the evenings this week to finish quite a few of these before any new ideas pop in my head! Hope you have a great week!

N Koreans speak of 'pride' over banned rocket launch
Pyongyang residents have been speaking of their pride after the apparently successful launch of a North Korean rocket into space.
The country defied international warnings to launch the rocket, which it says was used to put a satellite into orbit.
South Korea, the US and Japan have condemned the launch as a banned test of long-range missile technology.

Chevrolet announced that it will introduce a small cargo van called the City Express, but it won’t be a General Motors design. The new City Express will be based on the Nissan NV200, but rebadged and sold at Chevrolet dealers in the U.S. and Canada.
Chevrolet says its customers have asked for an urban-sized cargo van, and that working with Nissan allows it to meet that demand quickly. Chrysler Group caters to this market segment with the Dodge Caravan-based Ram C/V; Ford will introduce the new 2014 Transit Connect later this year.
“This addition to the Chevrolet portfolio will strengthen our position with fleets and our commercial customers,” GM fleet and commercial sales vice president Ed Peper said in a statement.
The City Express will be built by Nissan at the same plant in Cuernavaca, Mexico, that assembles the NV200. It’s currently unclear whether the Chevrolet will have any mechanical differences from the Nissan version; a Nissan spokesman says the City Express has different aesthetic components from the A-pillar forward (as seen in the illustration above), as well as uniquely branded interior trim. The Nissan NV200 uses a 2.0-liter inline-four engine with 131 hp and a continuously variable transmission.

I am happy to say that today I reached a goal I set for myself a long time ago, a goal I pursued even though I wasn’t entirely sure I would ever reach it. Today, my application for membership in the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA) was approved at the Summer Meeting of the Board of Governors of that organization!
It still doesn’t quite seem real. Today I became a member of the ABAA.
I must be dreaming. Someone pinch me. On second thought, don’t. I think I like this dream.
I can’t remember where or from whom I first heard about the ABAA, back in the days when I didn’t know any booksellers personally, I had babies running around the house, and I barely had time to even read about antiquarian books, but upon hearing about this association of booksellers who work hard to promote the trade, who have a Board of Governors (!), a written Code of Ethics, and exclusive book fairs where only their own members can exhibit, I immediately thought, “I probably am too old to learn to be an antiquarian bookseller and even if I could, I’ll never be a good enough bookseller to be part of that group.”
Are you wondering why I said such a thing? You might recall one of my many longstanding phobias about bookselling — being told by a better bookseller than I that I am not a bookseller. Recall:
“I may be a new bookseller, but I know enough to know that when I visit the shop of another bookseller I should introduce myself (oh, the horror!) and identify myself as a bookseller. Still, I always find this to be an awkward moment. I’ve no reason to make assumptions, but my insecurity makes me think the owner will tell me I’m not a bookseller (because I sell online) and to leave the shop. I cower in fear of being assailed with all of the ways the brilliant shop owner knows more than I do. This has never actually happened to me, and I realize there is no logical reason why I should think that it will, but I just do.”
What happened between my telling myself I couldn’t do it several years ago and now? If you’ve been reading this blog, you already know the story, and if you haven’t and you want to know, then you can start here. What happened is that I decided to disregard my phobias and reach out to those around me — to other booksellers and other book collectors for their knowledge, advice, and friendship; to my family for their support in my home-based business endeavor; and to you, the readers of this very blog, who sometimes commented or emailed or introduced yourselves to me at book fairs and reassured me that I was not crazy to try to become an antiquarian bookseller, that I could do it. What also happened was a lot of hard work — learning how to start and run a business; learning the trade as quickly as possible by finding a mentor, reading, talking and corresponding with others; selling books on my website, in printed catalogues, and at book fairs; and going to educational seminars near and far as often as I can.
Does joining the ABAA mean I’m a different bookseller than I was yesterday? No. I think I’ve always done my best to select good books for sale and to conduct my business in a professional and ethical manner and that would continue whether I became an ABAA member or not. What ABAA membership means, among other things, is that I can be and do and learn more by being a contributing member of an organization that is larger than one person working alone in a tiny corner of her dining room in between driving kids in carpools and washing the dishes. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this time with regard to my joining the ABAA:
“Does this make me a marquee bookseller? I certainly think not. Not even close. What it made me was someone who could be a small part of a larger team. I’ve since made friends with dealers of all kinds and and even occasionally sold books to those marquee sellers, those much higher in the bookseller food chain than myself. You know the ones. They are the quarterbacks who call the plays in the antiquarian book world, and everyone knows who they are and speaks their names with reverence, passing on the legends of some of their best book plays. Even though I’m not (yet) one of these sellers, it’s (usually) a real thrill and honor to sell them a book (or two or three or more).”
No, I am definitely not anywhere near the top of the bookselling food chain. I do believe, though, that at long last I have earned the privilege of calling myself “antiquarian bookseller” and believing myself when I say it. May I always endeavor to be worthy of the title.
See you in the stacks!
