  Romanticism On the Net 19 (August 2000)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Gillian Hughes has shown that many of the early reviews identify Hogg as the author, and see the Justified Sinner as being typical of Hogg's writings in that it presents 'an incongruous mixture of the strongest powers with the strongest absurdities'.
(4) The 'Scotch Shepherd' was undoubtedly regarded by his contemporaries as a man of powerful and original talent, but it was felt that his lack of education caused his writings to be seriously marred by frequent failures in discretion, expression, and knowledge of the world.
Hogg's Shepherd's Calendar stories are markedly uninhibited in their subject-matter, and when the series came to be republished in book form in 1829 the publisher William Blackwood ensured that Hogg's text was extensively bowdlerised.

 CSIndy: Potion play (November 3, 2005)
Gillian Holroyd (Lisa Siebert) is part of a network of real-life witches, and her apartment is the site for her family -- Aunt Queenie (Clemie Cyburt) and brother Nicky (Chad Siebert) -- to meet and gossip about the other witches who run wild in Manhattan.
The association between Gillian's special powers and her desire to find love addresses the fuzzy ethics of love spells, but also assumes a cautionary tone from the pre-feminist era in which the play was written.
Alongside Gillian's personal journey is a deeper allegory about the gay community, as taboo as magic at the time.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Hogg, James
After his failure as a farmer no-one would employ him as a shepherd, and he records that “in February 1810, in utter desperation, I took my plaid about my shoulders, and marched away to Edinburgh, determined, since no better could be, to push my fortunes as a literary man”.
This innovative periodical published many of his songs, ballads and tales, including his series of “The Shepherd’s Calendar”, which presented the tales, legends, and way of life of Hogg’s native community to an urban and middle-class readership and included ghost-tales, fairy legends, animal stories, and a wonderfully graphic account of a snow-storm.
His lack of education caused his work to be regarded as flawed, and it was therefore open to censorship and bowdlerisation both in his lifetime and, increasingly, throughout the nineteenth century.

For a child, a diagnosis of asthma immediately means she's different from her peers and that her life will change, explains Gillian Shepherd, M.D., an allergy immunologist at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University with a private practice in New York City.
Parents and doctors need to help the child buy into the idea that life will be better if she takes preventive steps than it will be if she just tries to solve each crisis.
But that depends on children's understanding why and how they should take care of themselves -- and on parents' encouraging their children to take responsibility for their own health.

On being supplied with 'a specimen of the printing of the [Shepherd's] Calendar', he expressed concern that the page was 'rather crouded', while effectively conceding the matter by leaving it to William Blackwood's own 'better taste'.
This wording is distinct from the 1837 emendation 'This effort made my case worse' (Tales and Sketches of the Ettrick Shepherd, 6 vols (Glasgow: Blackie and Son, n.d.), V, 178).

 Spring Allergy Season Will Soon Bring Sneezing
Seasonally, and daily, weather conditions impact pollen counts, making it difficult to predict pollen counts more than a few days in advance.
"On windy days, or for days after high winds, pollen counts are high because the pollen has been spread throughout the air," said Gillian Shepherd, MD, FAAAAI, chair of the Education Sub-Committee of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
These chemicals cause the allergic symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, nasal congestion or headaches as the body tries to fight off the foreign allergen," Shepherd said.

Asthma symptoms can change, and patients need to work with their doctors to make sure they are taking the right medication for their symptoms," Shepherd said.
