Gay News From 365Gay.com "Marriage is a union between a man and a woman, and my Administration is working to support the institution of marriage by helping couples build successful marriages and be good parents," the presidential proclamation declares. No such proclamation was issued by the White House for a similar week supporting same-sex relationships. Marriage Protection Week was created by an alliance of conservative Christian lobby groups including the Southern Baptist Convention, Focus on the Family, the American Family Association and Real Women, along with fundamentalist ministers Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. www.365gay.com /newscontent/100603bushFamily.htm

New Georgia Encyclopedia: Brunswick Stew Brunswick stew belongs to a family of southern stews, its closest relative perhaps being Kentucky burgoo. Frequently associated with barbecue and presided over by stew "masters" when made in quantity, Brunswick stew remains a customary feature of Georgia fund-raisers, political rallies, and family reunions like that of the Sproulls in Bartow County. There, according to an entrenched local tradition supported by a 1988 Virginia General Assembly proclamation, Jimmy Matthews, an African American hunting-camp cook, concocted a squirrel stew for his master, Creed Haskins, in 1828, the stew being named for its home county. www.georgiaencyclopedia.org /nge/Article.jsp?path=/Folklife/Foodways&id=h-555

Time Line American History 1600 - 1799 in Context-Colonies Royal Proclamation established a Proclamation Line of 1763 to form a closed Indian Reserve (land west of Appalachians) to settlers in an attempt to solve the Indian problem and colonist claims of unlimited territory. This Joseph Bucklin Society time line of history is not intended to be anything other than a list of a few historical events that the Bucklin Family or Joseph Bucklin Society members may find of interest in understanding events of which the Family or Society have special concern. The French had built a line of forts west of the colonized land of the northern English colonies, e.g., Fort Duquesne. www.bucklinsociety.net /time_line-colonies.htm

Thanksgiving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In some of the Southern states there was opposition to the observance of such a day on the ground that it was a relic of Puritanic bigotry, but by 1858 proclamations appointing a day of thanksgiving were issued by the governors of 25 states and two Territories. As the holiday most associated with family gatherings in the U.S., Thanksgiving is often humorously portrayed in movies and television as an occasion for extended family members to bicker with one another. The U.S. Congress in 1941 split the difference and established that the Thanksgiving would occur annually on the fourth Thursday of November, which was sometimes the last Thursday and sometimes the next to last. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Thanksgiving   (3599 words)

Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The "Brunswick Proclamation" or "Brunswick Manifesto" that he now issued from Coblenz on July 25, 1792 threatened war and ruin to soldiers and civilians alike, should the Republicans injure Louis XVI and his family. It remained for the Duke of Brunswick's proclamation to assure the downfall of the monarchy by his proclamation, which was being rapidly distributed in Paris by July 28 apparently by the monarchists, who badly misjudged the effect it would have (See text in link).

Family Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A consequence of Family Day being proclaimed was that the August holiday( Heritage Day) was downgraded to a civic holiday, meaning employers no longer have to offer holiday pay that day if they take Family Day off. Businesses are not absolutely obligated to pay holiday pay on Family Day - the new holiday was intended to give businesses a choice. A major reason for the proclamation of this holiday was because many businesspeople felt it to be impractical to be open for business that day while their American suppliers, customers and head offices were closed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Family_Day   (6100 words)

Articles - Palaeologus Because of their intermarriage with Western families, the Paleologoi were the first Imperial family to have crests and coats-of-arms in the Western sense: they used either the sable Imperial double-eagle on an or field; or an or cross with four or, outward-facing 'B's in the quadrants on a gules field. Her influence on the court curtailed the power of the boyars and eventually led to the proclamation of the lord of Muscovy as the Tsar of all the Russias. After the Fourth Crusade members of the family escaped to Nicaea and eventually gained control of the empire-in-exile there. www.awningz.com /articles/Palaeologus   (6100 words)

Exultet The exultet is a whopper of a proclamation, and the early church wrapped it in a cloak of melodious chant, then entrusted it to the deacon, whose ministry added to its dignity. You'll find text and music under "Easter Sunday During the Night: The Easter Vigil, Part One: the Service of Light." After the new fire is blessed, after the towering new Easter candle has been set ablaze, after the assembly have lit their tapers and processed into the church, the exultet, or "Easter Proclamation," begins. Frequently the liturgy begins late, the fire won't ignite, the procession moves aimlessly, the deacon and cantor flub their cues, and when the exultet finally begins, the singer discovers it's too dark to see the thing. www.paulturner.org /exultet.htm   (935 words)

Catholic Culture : Liturgical Year : March 26, 2005 : Holy Saturday When the feast of Easter brought the rigorous fast to an end, and these foods were again allowed at table, the people showed their joy and gratitude by first taking the food to church for a blessing.

Indira Gandhi Sikh alienation was deep and had dramatic consequences: on October 31, 1984, Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her two Sikh bodyguards, one of whom was fatally shot and the other subsequently (1988) sentenced to death by hanging. Alarmed at the rise in popularity of the highly political Sikh missionary and leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, India's leaders were disturbed by his proclamation that Sikhs were a sovereign and self-ruling community. Rajiv Gandhi entered politics in February 1981 and became prime minister on his mother's death, later (May 1991) himself meeting a similar fate, this time at the hands of Tamil militants. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/i/in/indira_gandhi.html   (919 words)

Ricky Skaggs If Skaggs Family Records evolves as Ricky envisions it will, the new label will be every bit as eclectic as its distributor, Rounder, which got its start as a bluegrass label but has branched out and now features just about every type of music that is off the beaten path. Not being burdened by the expectations of country radio has been a liberating experience for Skaggs, and recording his first bluegrass album in 15 years is akin to his emancipation proclamation. Skaggs had three more #1 hits, and he continued to make outstanding albums well into the 1990s, but he gradually faded from country radio. www.penduluminc.com /MM/articles/rickyskaggs.html   (45 words)

Friends of Lincoln Mailbag Lincoln was able to relax and enjoy some peaceful moments with his family before having to return once again to the news that every day etched deeper and deeper lines into his face. A person he had known for decades, his best friend's brother, and Lincoln was close to the entire family and had even lived with them for a period of time.

LEWIS WETZEL - The Early America Review, Spring 1997 In 1764, the growing Wetzel family, along with some of the Bonnets, the Zanes, the Eberlys and the Rosencranzes, moved across the Alleghenies to occupy some of the "free land" that had become available in 1768 after the first Treaty of Fort Stanwix.

Jefferson and the Indians/Introduction: Story of Logan As yet the Crown had not sold or granted any of this territory and was denying Virginia and the other colonies the right to dispose of it themselves because it lay west of the Proclamation Line of 1763, which restricted English settlement west of the Appalachians. Ultimately, in Jefferson's view, the Indian nations would be either civilized and incorporated into mainstream American society or, failing this--as in the prototypical case of Logan's family--"exterminated." The Jeffersonian vision of the destiny of the Americas had no place for Indians as Indians. Just as the line of Logan, the friend of the white man, who had "thought to live with you," had been unfairly extinguished by white men, so the race itself was destined one day to become extinct. www.hup.harvard.edu /features/waljef/intro2.html   (171 words)
