Beck in French is a birds beak. The ner is a reference to the sea. Beckner is my name. In cornwall it is a person who lives by the sea. The cod fish is the coat of arms. Some people say it is Walloon in origin. Geealogy is not an exact science. |

The Mexican section of the local Kroger store has a corn meal which includes lime as one of the ingredients, it is called Masa. I believe that is what the Mexicans use for tortillas. |

I was wondering what the difference between grits and the mexican corn meal that is used for tortillas is. Both are prepared with lye to soften them.
Does anyone have a recipe for corn tortillas? |

The major theme of the books seems to be overcoming prejudice. First the prejudice against intelligence (witchcraft) at Harry's foster home. Then the mixed and non-witch prejudices. That seems to imitate racism. |

"If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost."
Aristotle
If people are to be treated fairly they must have a voice in the administration of the institution, Hogwarts School for Wizards and Witches seems to be benevolent dictatorship. The example of the failure to adequately compensate Hagrid and also the failure to protect him from the abusive treatment of being expelled is an example of the consequences to powerless people, a minority in this case, half giant/ half wizard. |

Too often injustices are glossed over by phrases like the original quote. We cannot escape from the facts of our environment and our training no matter how well made our choices are. |

 It certainly was a lucky break that the outcast Hagrid received a better position as a Professor, but I see that as a chance happening not the result of Hagrid's choices. |

Hagrid, who was expelled from Hogwarts for no good reason must have wished to have the choice to return to school many times. But he was condemned to be the groundskeeper forever with no chance to be a wizard. |

The lucky few never get a chance to join the majority who live lives of quiet desperation trying to find an opportunity to do what they know they have the ability to do. Frustration is a common problem in our society. |

The choices we are given seem to be more a matter of chance. If someone does not have an opportunity presented to make the choice that leads to success then their potential is wasted. If Harry had never been sent to Hogwarts then he would not have had the chance to make Wizardry his choice. |

The Stonehenge explanation I have read says that it was an early seat of government or castle forunner of the megalithic type. This type of architecture is represented by the lion gate.
I have also read that the central stone lies above the grave of Urther Penndragon. The ruler of the time when it was occupied. Urther is supposedly from the word for bear. |

Scones sound like what my mother made as biscuits.
Black Strap molasses would probably match the treacle in the recipe. Black Strap Molasses are found in the health food section in American markets |

This post begain when I was searching for my ancestors and found a book that said they came from Plymouth and were celtic, Cornish. Then I went to celtic sites for england to find if there were any of the family left in Plymouth. I was told that there were no celtic people in Plymouth and that Plymouth never was part of Cornwall. This seems odd to me. |

Map of Ancient Britain
The Cornwall area has a lack of income production assets and should have the port of Plymouth returned to support the rest of the area.
The punishment of Cornwall should end and Plymouth returned to provide taxes and employment for the people of Cornwall. |

Well as I understand the Plymouth port was taken from Cornwall as punishment for the rebellions.
Now that the tin mines are closed there is no income for the district of Cornwall. If Plymouth was returned to Cornwall there would be a resource for this area and a means of support for the economy. |

I would like to find the remains of Celtic culture in Plymouth and Cornwall. Especially the records of families who have lived there before Cornwall became Devonshire. I am doing genealogical research. If I can find a study of Celtic surnames of Plymouth and their meanings I would be overjoyed. Or just Celtic Surnames and their meanings. Or just Celtic surnames.  |
