In the talk last night I said I found everything going so smoothly that if she were willing I would go back to Bermuda in February and get blessedly out of the clash and turmoil again for another month. She was urgent that I should do it, and said that if I would put off the trip until March she would take Katy and go with me. We struck hands upon that, and said it was settled. I had a mind to write to Bermuda by tomorrow's ship and secure a furnished house and servants. I meant to write the letter this morning. But it will never be written, now.
For she lies yonder, and before her is another journey than that.
Night is closing down; the rim of the sun barely shows above the sky-line of the hills.
I have been looking at that face again that was growing dearer and dearer to me every day. I was getting acquainted with Jean in these last nine months. She had been long an exile from home when she came to us three-quarters of a year ago. She had been shut up in sanitariums, many miles from us. How eloquent glad and grateful she was to cross her father's threshold again!
Would I bring her back to life if I could do it? I would not. If a word would do it, I would beg for strength to withhold the word. And I would have the strength; I am sure of it. In her loss I am almost bankrupt, and my life is a bitterness, but I am content: for she has been enriched with the most precious of all gifts--that gift which makes all other gifts mean and poor-- death. I have never wanted any released friend of mine restored to life since I reached manhood. I felt in this way when Susy passed away; and later my wife, and later Mr. Rogers. When Clara met me at the station in New York and told me Mr. Rogers had died suddenly that morning, my thought was, Oh, favorite of fortune-- fortunate all his long and lovely life--fortunate to his latest moment! The reporters said there were tears of sorrow in my eyes. True--but they were for ME, not for him. He had suffered no loss. All the fortunes he had ever made before were poverty compared with this one.
Why did I build this house, two years ago? To shelter this vast emptiness? How foolish I was! But I shall stay in it. The spirits of the dead hallow a house, for me. It was not so with other members of the family. Susy died in the house we built in Hartford. Mrs. Clemens would never enter it again. But it made the house dearer to me. I have entered it once since, when it was tenantless and silent and forlorn, but to me it was a holy place and beautiful. It seemed to me that the spirits of the dead were all about me, and would speak to me and welcome me if they could: Livy, and Susy, and George, and Henry Robinson, and Charles Dudley Warner. How good and kind they were, and how lovable their lives! In fancy I could see them all again, I could call the children back and hear them romp again with George--that peerless black ex-slave and children's idol who came one day--a flitting stranger--to wash windows, and stayed eighteen years. Until he died. Clara and Jean would never enter again the New York hotel which their mother had frequented in earlier days. They could not bear it. But I shall stay in this house. It is dearer to me tonight than ever it was before. Jean's spirit will make it beautiful for me always. Her lonely and tragic death--but I will not think of that now.
Jean's mother always devoted two or three weeks to Christmas shopping, and was always physically exhausted when Christmas Eve came. Jean was her very own child--she wore herself out present- hunting in New York these latter days. Paine has just found on her desk a long list of names--fifty, he thinks--people to whom she sent presents last night. Apparently she forgot no one. And Katy found there a roll of bank-notes, for the servants.
Her dog has been wandering about the grounds today, comradeless and forlorn. I have seen him from the windows. She got him from Germany. He has tall ears and looks exactly like a wolf.

I am living in a family, which moved to the New Zealand from the Great Britain. Hope it will protect my accent from getting messed with the "kiwi" one.Tom, my homestay father, is a math proffesor. He is involved in so many activities, that it's almost impossible. But he says: " If you are doing something, you have to do that 100% - 120%". Art, music, sports, markets... awesome and huge range of stuff.
My homestay mother is named Lorna. She is a midwive lecturer. I had no idea what that means. But let's say that she is teaching laides how to help while childbirth. And one more interesting thing, she is a really good singer. She sings a lot especially while preparing some food. I really like it. :)
Joe, my brother, is a cool guy. He is also involved in almost everything. He is heading to Europe with orchestra (he plays tube) in three weeks.
Lorna and Tom have two more children.. But they are not children anymore. Helen was living with us for the first month, but now she is attending Police University in Wellington. I should also mention Alex, who is the oldes son. He is living with us right now. But it's just for a while, he has to organize his life after the earthquake.I think I couldn't get a better family. They are active all the time, enjoying their lifes. I thinks that's really important. Yep! One more thing, they are vegetarians, so there is quite a big chance that i will eat healthier food than in Czech :D
|Tom and Lorna
|Helen (the one it the middle) is doing triathlon. And she is the best in this region..
|Joe and his girlfriend Diana. The funny thing is that she is from Slovakia!

Why I will never understand anything
Watching it provides a glimpse of the full, frightening extent of the depth of my inability to understand:
a) Americans; and
b) women.
Brace yourselves, chaps. This isn't pretty.

gasp!! Don't you realize what this signifies? It's the final sign!
I'll be in my bunker eating dried legumes, if anyone cares.

Daytime TV, especially that imported from the US, is so intellectually stimulating.
- 6:20 pm
- David said...
It's ironic.
That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
For that matter, that you don't recognize that it's ironic is -- wait for it -- ironic.

You know, this one isn't really that hard. Just imagine a sleepover at Oprah's house, if Oprah were a QVC sales person high on crack cocaine, and you're right in the moment. On the other hand all of that might mean nothing to you if you aren't an American.

I guessed that "Your wildest dreams have come true" was ironic. But its the behaviour that baffles.
- 12:58 pm
- David said...
Well, "ironic" is perhaps not the mot juste. In American, I'm sorry to say, she's "fucking with." She's fucking with the audience, the fashion/cosmetics industry, infomercials, day-time talk shows and, in particular, Oprah.
She might also be fucking with Bette Miller, but that would be a stretch.

David, I take it you never attended a roller derby or pro rasslin' match or donkey baseball game.
Or a good ol' fashion tent revival.
I don't see this as much different -- or any different -- from guys who put on body paint and stand shirtless for three hours during a Bears game in December.
My people.

- Brit said...
It's much more manufactured than any of those spontaneous expressions of tribal excitment. I think David is right.
- 9:08 am
- Harry Eagar said...
Exploited, yes.
Give the susceptible a chance to perform, and they will perform.
That's how stage hypnotists do it. In any crowd, there will always be people willing to pretend to be unable to prevent themselves from barking like a dog or whatever.
I once observed the same phenomenon at a lecture about dowsing, too.
My people.
- 5:37 pm
- David said...
You're absolutely right. I avoid all those venues like the plague.
However, there's a moment right before she gets down and writhes on the floor when her expression just yells "Take that, America." Also, she is claiming that her gift to the audience is her number 1 beauty secret and it turns out to be Vaseline worth, in total, about $100.
- 6:16 pm
- Harry Eagar said...
Yeah, I got that. It was pure pentacostalism transferred to the secular realm.
I went to hear Junior Walker a (very) few years ago. Came a moment in the show when he had to lie on his back and play a break on the sax.
Junior was in his 60s, and getting down on his back didn't look as spontaneous as it probably did when he was younger.
The recreations of the poor have to be simple and cheap. You noticed, did you not, that the audience was thrilled to get little jars of Vaseline.
Reminded me of the Firesign Theatre routine where the prize winner opens the bag and finds that 'It's just a bag of s+++.'
Segue to . . . 'but it's really great s+++.'
My people are grateful even for two ounces of Vaseline. It shows somebody is thinkin' of us. 'Gift of the Magi' and all that.
- 10:14 pm
- David said...
Yeah, the expressions in the crowd are great. Some are thinking, "Hey, I'm having an ironic experience" and others are just grooving on the mob hysteria.

Tonight I was frustrated. It's frustrating to see people you love so much searching for answers and know that THE answer, the only answer, is a relationship with Jesus. He's not a magic wand, He won't make the babies stop crying or the bills stop coming, but the peace and freedom they could experience in Him would be beyond the temporary joy they might feel now. And yet when I want to present that answer to them, or something similar to that, I get cut off. Dismissed. Ignored. And in turn that frustrates me. But once the dust dies down I am humbled. I am humbled because I know that once again answers will come but perhaps, once again, not in my time. And in the mean time I am called to love these people, all people, and model true servant leadership that puts the needs of others before myself. That does not keep a record of wrongs but loves despite them. And so I continue to love and listen. And be patient. And that's where I am tonight.

To be frustrated and humbled
First off- I can't imagine a life apart from Christ. A life where my existence and my happiness and my joy are based off so many things that are out of my control. Where I don't know where to turn when I'm angry, frustrated, scared, depressed, exhausted, angry. Don't get me wrong- I have experienced (sometimes all in one day) all of those emotions and walking with Christ doesn't mean I experience them any less. The thing that separates me from those not walking with Him, what separates believers from non-believers, is that when I'm faced with situations that produce those emotions I am reminded to lay them at the cross and seek His face for answers. The answers might not come in the time frame that I would like, but I can trust that He is at work and that He will produce a good work in me through trusting and being obedient to Him.

Beating the Budget Buster : Halloween Edition
This year, we are challenging ourselves to spend zero dollars on Halloween. We've told the kids that they have to use something we already have in the house, make something with materials we already have, or borrow what they need. Now, this should not be too difficult! We have a ginormous rubbermaid tub ( seriously all three kids can fit in it!) of dress up clothes, boxes of extras in closets and more accessories than can be listed. I have a closet full of material. The challenging part is changing our habits!
I also ususally enjoy munching on Halloween treats all month long, but this year I am stregthening my self contol muscles! I plan to buy only enough for the usual number of kids, at the last minute. And maybe I'll have to settle for different treats than I usally get to cut down on cost. Too bad a person can't give out homemade treats anymore, I make a mean chocolate/orange Halloween swirl cookie!
I'd love to hear from you if you wanna join me in this edition of beatng the budget buster!
Anyone have a bat costume to lend?
3 comments:
Just found your blog through CJ's. I don't have a bat costume, but if you had black sweaties, you could make wings out of a garbage bag by taping them or with black cardboard. I've been blessed with friends whose kids are about the same age as mine so we move costumes around. So far, so good.ReplyDelete
It is too bad you can't do homemade goodies. I'm going to sound old, but I remember when I was little that a house down the road would make this incredible halloween cake and every child that visited their home would get to enter the draw for the cake. They would then pick out a winner and call about 9:00 to let them know. Both my brother and sister won a cake throughout the years, I didn't win but that's okay because I still got to eat the cake!ReplyDelete
I have a Mummy costume, Baden is also welcome to borrow our police suit he likes to wear when he comes over.ReplyDelete

Very roomy, clean and comfortable
It was located right where we wanted to be for us to enjoy the area.
An outstanding weekend!
An outstanding weekend! This Chetola resort condo is very comfortable and we would definitely stay there again! We had a wonderful weekend attending a wedding, and relaxing at this very roomy and comfortable condo. Everything was very clean and nice and it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the area. We spent an afternoon relaxing around the lake and one afternoon with a picnic up on SkylineDrive. We would most definitely stay here again, and the owner was very hospitable and easy to deal with for our stay. We can't wait to go back!
Cozy, warm, welcoming- exactly what you want in a mountain getaway.
Our second visit was just as good as the first. New couch and bedding were a nice touch. It's the perfect mountain retreat.
Well appointed and very comfortable condo in a fantastic location. Highly recommend!
This condo is in the fantastic location of Chetola- plenty to do and convenient to everything.
Well appointed with beautifully updated kitchen and baths. Bedrooms are spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend!
Let me start by saying our stay in this condo was perfect. The condo is amazing and is equipped with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable and the furnishings are all upgraded. The area is convenient to downtown Blowing Rock and Boone. Maura, the owner makes renting this condo a breeze. We will definitely stay here again.
Peaceful, cozy retreat!
We have been enjoying this beautiful and peaceful Chetola Condo for the last several years during our Thanksgiving holiday! It is so clean, comfortable and has anything you need!
Maura is always quick to respond to any questions and all transactions are so easy.
The beds are so very comfortable and the condo is so quiet that you definitely can get some rest if needed. The downtown Blowing Rock shops are near by and the Tanger outlets just around the corner so you can shop to your hearts content and then come back to this sweet condo for rest, meals, movies.....whatever you enjoy!
I highly recommend this condo!

Mr. Aglubat's letter:
My reply:
Dear Pablo,
You are smarter than that. There are over 10,000 comments published on my blog, most of which express dismay at the practices of "the Way". There are a total of 14 adults who regularly attend the Latin Mass and two members of the Catholic Evidence Guild of Guam. Yet you say that these two groups are from where most of the criticism of the Way comes from? No. Chuck White and I have been just the few people willing to put our name to our comments.
As you said, your "statute" was approved in 2008. If only your leaders would adhere to it. As an attorney you must understand what a statute is. Apart from your statute, your Way has no legitimacy. Yet the Way departs from its statute regularly especially in the celebration of the eucharist, its core activity.
- You stand at the consecration, whereas the church instructs us to kneel.
- You sit to consume the eucharist, whereas the church instructs us to kneel or stand.
- Your presbyter distributes the consecrated bread BEFORE he receives his own communion, whereas the church instructs otherwise.
- You regularly celebrate your eucharist in unconsecrated spaces.
There is no exception in the statute for these practices and as an attorney this ought to be very obvious to you, yet you not only privately embrace these violations you now defend them publicly.
Also, though the statute requires your "eucharists" to be open "to the other faithful" there is no publication of those times and places as is published the regular schedule of Masses - making them NOT open "to the other faithful".
You also happily run through the usual mantra of how many prelates welcome and approve you, but there are just as many or more that don't. Would you mind telling us why in 2010, the Japanese bishops en masse petitioned Rome to rid their country of "the Way" entirely? Or would you tell us about the crisis in the Philippines that caused at least one Archbishop to shut down "the Way" entirely, noting:
"There is a prevailing sentiment of superiority among the community members...resulting in a disdainful attitude towards those who are not walking the Way or have stopped joining the meetings. Besides, disdainful and disrespectful remarks about my predecessor, about some priests and even about my own person, have been repeatedly heard from the catechists of the communities contrary to good manners, upright conduct, filial respect and Christian charity." ( Archbishop Socrates Villegas)
The sad part is that "the Way" has done much good and certainly is capable of doing much more good. But if smart people like you do not hold your leaders to account and demand that they stay faithful to the statute imposed on it ,or as Pope Francis recently termed it "your charter", the Way will ultimately implode taking many souls with it.
Meanwhile, tell the Archbishop to stop trashing the rest of us.
P.S. Pablo, we have long known each other and have always had an amicable relationship. You are welcome to contact me and set up a meeting if you would like to show me where my observations are in error.

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more...
Let me tell ya, there's nothing like seeing a tornado racing toward you to make you feel your mortality. Two days ago I was in the thick of it. Literally. I had only just heard that there was a tornado warning minutes before, and was driving toward Oaky's which was only a 5 minute drive at the most from where I was. I thought there was enough time to get over the bridge to his place before anything happened. Then I looked up and saw clouds swirling... I get to this traffic light at the bridge entrance and as we are waiting for it to turn green the wind started. The wind was like nothing I'd seen before - not that you can actually see wind, except, this time you could because it was carrying bits and pieces of the city with it. The wind grew and grew, along with this dark cloud of debris, until it was right in front of us, and then I realized I was seeing the actual funnel. I was mere feet from an actual tornado. Shingles, branches, dirt, leaves, even a few tires and lots of mystery objects were hurling through the air. Even a large metal road-side sign came flying toward my windshield. I didn't even have time to duck, it all happened so fast. Thank goodness (or whatever or whoever was watching me that day) the sign went up and over my car, landing between my car and the one in back of me, not hurting anyone. It definitely left scrape marks on the roof of my car but I will gladly live with that. I'm 5'2'', anyway, I have to stand on my toes just to see the roof of the car so it won't really bother me. Besides, they're like battle scars. "Look what I survived!"
When the tornado finally passed and traffic started moving again, I drove over the bridge in a state of shock and panic. On the other end of the bridge was an overturned 18-wheeler. Exit the bridge. Billboards had been torn down. Roofs collapsed. Trees uprooted and thrown through windows and crushing cars, homes, businesses. Windows had been blasted out everywhere. Utility poles and wires were down in every direction. Every road was blocked. I got turned around so many times I eventually didn't know where I was. I knew I was less than a mile from Oaky's place but I couldn't get there. Trees and downed wires blocked every single street. As I drove through the maze of streets it began to hit me what had just happened.... I called Oaky and the connection was bad. I couldn't get through to anyone else. Even cell service had been interrupted. I finally got him on a clear line with no static. By this time I was yelling "TORNADO!!!" and was approaching hysterics. I told him I couldn't get through any of the side streets to cross to where he was. We finally decided I would pull into a parking lot (the local grocery store) and he would find a way to get to me. I parked the car, turned it off, and started sobbing. Two college-aged young women came and knocked on my window asking if I was okay. I blurted out everything that had just happened between sobs. Those poor girls, probably thought I was crazy. I offered them some melting ice cream pops that were in my trunk (never buy groceries during a tornado watch, you might not get the perishables home before they perish!) but they were too melted to eat. After they left I sat in the car drinking Powerade until Oaky finally arrived. I had never been so happy to see him. All my muscles were in knots, I was on hyper-alert, and every time the wind blew I jumped. We drove and drove and finally got back to his place. What should have been a 3 minute drive had turned into almost an hour of fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants-adventure. But not the fun kind. The scare-the-shit-of-you kind.
So, it's 2 days later and I am fully re-acquainted with my fibromyalgia right now. The pain and fatigue are both high. I don't think I've been able to keep my eyes open for more than an hour at a time. I even paused in the middle of writing this to close my eyes for a few minutes. And thank gods for spell-check cuz between the fibro-fog and the stiff achy fingers I am committing multiple spelling atrocities. *shudders* The physical symptoms will fade within the week, I'm sure... but the emotional? Well, let's just say I am not eager to get back behind the wheel, especially on a windy day.

I for one (of many) am so grateful that you are ok. {{huggs}} xoxo WendyReplyDelete
Thank you, sweetie, me too!!! xoxo!ReplyDelete
Having seen some of the video footage of this tornado you can clearly see the funnel passing directly over the Memorial Bridge, sucking the Connecticut river up into the air and washing it over the bridge, the power of it was astonishing and gave an even clearer picture in my mind of how terrifying it must have been for you, the funnel as you say was literally in your face. If you had made the light you would have been on the bridge, as your picture clearly shows. I have never been so happy to see a red light. I've seen some pretty bad storms and devastation, but I have never been trapped outside in the middle of one, what a nightmare. I am so grateful that you are okay.ReplyDelete
When I was about 7 we had a big tornado in my (first) hometown and my Dad decided to drive my brother and I to the church where my mom was at a wedding reception in the nice, safe basement. I remember a tornado ahead of us on the road, but I don't really remember the tornado vividly. My Dad said it changed direction and started heading for us. All I remember was his suddenly crazy driving, going over railroad tracks on a rise at high speed, and my brother and I bouncing up so high we both smacked our heads on the top of the car and I think each other. I was already sick and now I was "wounded" so when we got back home I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening lying on the couch recuperating while we watched the news and realized how lucky we were. Nothing compared to your experience (during AND after)!!ReplyDelete
Geez, I'm just so glad you were both okay. Are you doing better by this point?
Well, taking a few days to come up to Maine was definitely a good move. I am feeling a lot more relaxed and the exhaustion has faded. Still in pain but that just gives me an excuse to ask for more massages, haha. :)ReplyDelete
The image of you and yyour brother bouncing around in the car was kind of funny, but I imagine you guys were scared. I know when I was about 11 we went to NH for a summer vacation and got caught in the middle of a hurricane and the rain came out of nowhere, like a deluge, just flooding the streets. And power lines came down right in front of our car. If my mom hadn't been so cool and calm I probably would have freaked out. As it was, I thought it was pretty cool (stupid child). LOL
oh my gosh, I would have been terrified, glad you made it out of there!!ReplyDelete

There has been a type of archetype in literature that I'm sure we are all greatly fond of. It creates humor, emotion and spirit as we read the story, and we become very emotional about that character. The archetype I'm talking about is actually pinpointed to a single (or two) character, and he is usually the one that is always different from the others. You see, literature's element of conflict has the characters mainly being serious and worrying about one certain situation.
My name is good question if you are asking what it comes from. What is the most simple name you could think of for a Chinese boy? One that is easy to remember, something that your personality and an interest in the world? Eric. Yup, as simple as that.
Fifth grade was an odd year for Gary because he went to a Catholic school named St. John's. He was chased by nuns and got chalk thrown at him and was squeezed in a cloak closet. Gary met his teacher Mrs. Sloan who had a weird habit of chewing tar.
Gary goes to church with Rick and Debra, sometimes. After a month or so Rick and Debra stop going to church every day. They start watching television every single day when they don't go to church on Sunday. Gary's mom describes him as a "short-tail devil that needed God's blessing."
The person Miranda's receiving letters from is a dynamic character. Their archetype changes over the course of the story. In the beginning of the book, they are the archetypal savior.
Later in the book, they begin to transform into the archetypal antagonist. When Miranda gets another letter from them, it's at her doorstep in front of her unlocked door. The letter asks for the location of her house key.

The lack of economic opportunity and isolation from white society led Bigger to have a hatred and become violent and reckless because of both of those alienating factors.
Thank you for reading it!
Recently, I read "Raymond's Run" by Toni Cade Bambara . I appreciated this story because it teaches young readers the values of engaging in sports activities and how competitive it can be.
The protagonist is Squeaky, and this story is set in Manhattan. I can tell that they live in Manhattan because in the story the Protagonist names specific streets that I can identify by my own personal experiences. It matters that it takes place there because all her races are in Manhattan, and that is the main setting of the story.
Walter Dean Myers, the protagonist in Bad Boy, has a few traits that influence his relationships with others.
One, he is immature. Two, he is energetic. Three, he is bad.
These traits influence his relationships with others. An example of when he is bad is where Walter has a fight and throws a book at a teacher. In the book it says: "I didn't put it down. I threw it. I meant to throw it into the corner to show how mad I was…. The book hit her on the shoulder, and she screamed" (p. 31). Being bad comes into play here when he can't control his temper.

The first six pages of Black Boy by Richard Wright might leave a reader in disbelief because of what happens in the story. When the book begins, Richard is with his brother, then he gets bored in his house. Richard started a fire and burned most of his house.
Walter, the protagonist in, Bad Boy has a few traits that influence his relationships with others.
One, he is proud. Two, he is angry. Three, he is imaginative.
Theses traits influence his relationship with others. For example, once he was angry once when he was reading and his classmate made made fun of him because of his speech. Another time he got a good new from his report card, and he was proud because he got a good grade at his fifth grade and so did his mom. He didn't have to get beatings from his mom.
Walter, the protagonist in Bad Boy has a few traits that influence his relationships with others. These certain traits can determine the mood or personality of Walter the character throughout the whole story.
One, he is ambitious. Two, he is eager. Three, he is angry.
These traits influence his relationships with others. When he starts school, Walter says,''I realized i liked books, and I liked reading." This shows that he is eager because he wants to show his teacher, Mrs. Conway that he is determined to learn. Despite his past "Bad Boy" actions.
Rusty James, the protagonist in Rumble Fish, has a few traits that influence his relationships with others.
One, he is brave. Two, he is Outrageous. Three, he is violent.
These traits influence his relationships with others. Like in the beginning of the book rusty James had beef with a rival gang member from the other town nearby. He was brave enough to go to that side of the town to settle his beef knowing that is where the rival gang member stays knowing he won't be alone he will have his groupies by his side.
"Are there only two choices open to the writer of fiction? Create a handsome heroes and ugly villains or ugly heroes and handsome villain" (Mueller and Reynolds 98).
"Labeling people with adjectives is direct, but also kind of dull" (101).
"Even in a brief short story, the characters will seem more interesting and more lifelike if you have them act out their personality and leave it up to your readers to judge what kinds of people they are" (103).
For my personal project, I have already decided on the point of view or perspective. Since this, along with the plot are two of the most important and hardest thing to form, I am glad that I have completed these two activities. Now, I have to develop my characters based on the plot of my story. Though I don't agree with the statement that "you can't have a story without them" (Mueller and Reynolds 96). I only have one main character, Link and another important secondary character, Marin.
In Paul Fitzgerald S. J's article, " The Horizon of Faith," http://www.scu.edu/ethics/publications/iie/v9n1/horizon.html , the author writes About how ethics and religion are behind all the choices we make. In other words, the religion we follow and the ethics that we hold, influence who we are and what decisions we make. The author makes sense when he writes of what helps us make decisions, and how can we improve our decision making that always will have influence on us as individuals.
I created an avatar with a picture of an Inverted Jenny stamp. I used the picture editing site pixlr.com to make it. I also added my school name and a few Chinese characters. I was unable to resize the picture in the editing page, however, and was forced to superimpose the words on top of the picture, instead of next to it as i had originally planned. Even with that minor mishap, it looks okay. So, I saved it and am using it as my avatar right now. It really represents me!
My post is about character issues. It is meant to encourage anyone who stumbles across it to think about the positive character traits we admire and to consider how to respond when challenged with moral questions.
Does growing up with a single parent have an affect on the children?
I am interested in this question because it relates to me, and my family. Majority of my life I have just lived with my mother, so I would like to see if there has been any research on whether children have distinct personality traits due to living with just their mom or just their dad. I don't know any information about this topic, I just find it intriguing.
Chapters 13, 14 and 15 in Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston deals a lot with Janie's character and the way her relationship with Tea Cake is affected by it. I think that Tea Cake's story about where he was and what he was doing in Chapter 13 was doubtful. There is no excuse for Tea Cake to have left with the money for a day. He went out to have fun while Janie was wondering if Tea Cake had left her. There is something that caught my attention on page 146 where Janie says,

2002 Virage
I need some help with my Virage. I got it from my parents when they decided they were not going to do anything with them after they let them set for 5 years. I took them to a shop and they had them for 5 months, on the Virage they replaced the fuel pump, the computer and the plugs. When I got it I took it to the lake I added fresh gas and oil, it ran but it would sometimes die and take a while to start. I figured that the shop did not clean out the old gas and the problem would pass, the next day I took it to the lake and i could not get the ski to plane or get above 5mph. I can take intake cleaner and spray it in the throttle bodies and make the ski run like normal. I found a thread on here talking about the FPR coming out of the fuel pump housing so I took the fuel pump out, to my surprise it is still attached, today I brought home my fuel pressure gauge and it shows 20 psi and jumps to 30 when i pinch the return line. I'm not sure where to begin, i am in the process of emptying the fuel tank and cleaning the pump and filters, any other advice would be appreciated.
Fuel pressure is adequate, but seems a bit on the low side, but that could be the guage not being accurate, however it would be sufficient to run more than 5MPH!!!!!.
You are running on scavenged fuel, you can get enough air through your T bodies when you are opening the throttle and dropping fuel in opening, if the fuel is present you can bring up the RPMS with the butterfly's closed. Disconnect TPS and see if it does the same, if it does, you are only running on the air and fuel you are dumping plus the little bit the injectors will let through. In which case I would heavily suspect TPS.
If K447 is listening, he is the zen master of DI stuff. Pray he is listening, and we will have some better answers...
The connector on the TPS is very suspect to being loose, dirty or not making contact, clean it, make sure pins are seated, and no GOOP on the pins. You will have it apart anyway to do the test I suggested, clean it while you have it apart.
Big Frank, just FYI, with the TPS unplugged, the engine will not respond when you hit the gas but it will idle fine. Any warnings on the MFD? Sounds like your fuel pressure is fine. As boomanch1967 said, its likely a bad TPS. In regard to it dieing before and being hard to restart, that could possibly be a bad start/stop module. They can be bypassed as per the instructions in K447's links. As for checking other possibilities read through his signature links for some troubleshooting information.
Once he got back to us, I was going to offer him a TPS that I know is good to test with. As you know having known good parts is about the only way to fix these machines without wasting a bunch of time.... So if anyone has any CPS's they know are good and want to part with, pm me, as I am out of good CPS sensors, have 2 good TPS's in my bag of tricks and one known good EMM

I appreciate the info, I will give it a shot tomorrow and get back with you. I am definitely not a short cut guy, been working on cars along time and I learned along time ago the short cuts only cost time and money neither of which I have. I thought about the TPS because it looks pretty rough, like I said I will give it a go tomorrow so I can bring some more tools home from work forgot them today.
Glad to hear that... good luck tomorrow, I will check back on here tomorrow eve and hopefully you will have some answers!! Good Luck!!

Ok checked the connector it was corroded, cleaned it, made no difference, the ski runs rough with and without the TPS connected, my wife could not tell the difference. I did get the check engine message but the ski runs rough. Fixing to disconnect all the connections and clean all of the corroded. So where do I go from here?
I have a code reader I built also, would also be willing to let you borrow as long as you put a deposit on it. You may be getting check engine light from stored code from the disconnection of your TPS while running. If you use my code reader, please advise us of what you have disconnected while the engine is running, as if a sensor is dropped, a code will likely be stored.
Lets check the stator also... from the Mag side of the motor, find the group of wires and follow back to EMM(yellow wires going into black loom) and unplug from EMM set your multimeter to alarm buzz, and put red lead on pin in deutz connector, black lead on head bolt, go to each pin, note if any buzzed or showed connection to ground.

OK I did the continuity test and got no sound so I am assuming you were checking to see if the stator was grounding out? If you think I need a TPS I will probably go ahead and buy the whole set up instead of doing the swap to have to do it again. I'm starting to wonder if the injectors are clogged with trash and if I should bring my fuel injection kit home and do a flush?
would not hurt, yep that is exactly what i was after!!!! Clean all ur grounds also

The Chosen One, a small, mouthy 20-something from New Jersey, is the unlikely hero in this breaking spot from DeutschLA.
Surrounded by a serious platoon of soldiers from Bungie/Activision's "Destiny", and set in its post-apocalyptic wasteland, he is about to fight the battle of his life. But all he seems to care about is eating his Taco Bell Quesarito Big Box meal. After a Gladiator-like pep talk from the team leader, the soldiers move out. The Chosen One has his hands full of food, and can't quite manage the giant rocket launcher slung across his shoulder. As he spins to join them he accidentally fires into an adjacent building, destroying a portion of it, and nearly killing a few of his comrades. He sheepishly cops to the error, and in a comic reveal, we see that he has not dropped a crumb of his Quesarito. For the pack shot, we cut to a rocky pod floating in outer space. It holds a Sony PS4 Destiny Bundle, and a fresh looking Big Box Meal, slowly dropping into the planet's outer atmosphere.
The Mission's Creative Director, Rob Trent, joined the director (Keith Schofield - Caviar) and the team from DeutschLA in Prague for a week of scouting and shooting in September. "The factory location outside of Prague was just amazing. It had the feel of the game, Destiny, from the outset, and we just wanted to ensure we could bring it to life as authentically and efficiently as possible in composite."
The Mission provided VFX, generally, to extend the factory set with iconic game architecture, skies, aircraft, and pyro/atmospheric effects. "We wanted to put the polish on the detailed work that the art department and wardrobe department were able to do there in Prague." Props were subtly activated with gunsmoke and glowing panels. The hero explosion was a composite of shot elements and cg particle work to enhance in-camera pyro that was shot on set. All product shots were captured on a stage back in LA and the artists at The Mission launched them into Destiny's version of outer space. Fine tuning color, effects, beauty and cleanup work for final masters was all completed in The Mission's comfortable Venice Flame suites on Abbot Kinney.
"This was our first time working with DeutschLA, and it was such a success. We all had a lot of fun exploring the creative potential here, and bringing everyone's vision into reality is the best part of the job. I love to say 'Ya, let's try it. We can do that!'" said Trent.

Once again we have gone far too long without posting about this wild travel adventure! It turns out that planning year-long travels while parenting a toddler and freelance writing takes up more time than we imagined. And we're a bit embarrassed to say that not having consistent, reliable Wi-Fi has been more difficult than not have consistent, reliable water. So, at long last, here is a brief update on life since we left Hawai'i.
We traveled all the way from Hawai'i to Miami for Elizabeth's brother's wedding at the beginning of April. After 11 hours of flying and a 6 hour time change, we arrived at Elizabeth's dad's with one road weary toddler and two very tired moms. After a few days to try and get adjusted, we got to see all of Elizabeth's family. I officiated John and Jackie's wedding; Elizabeth was a bridesmaid; Riah was the ring bearer. Needless to say, it was an exhausting, yet beautiful few days! Fortunately, the grandparents—while also fulfilling their roles as parents of the groom—stepped up to help with some babysitting, treating us to nice lodging, and filling pockets and purses with toys and mints to help keep Riah appeased should he choose to go bonkers during the wedding ceremony. As we anticipated, he had a tough time waiting for the wedding to begin in his fancy clothes with so much open grass luring him to play, but once the ceremony began, he did a great job being calm. Elizabeth, who has worn a dress about 3 times in our nearly 9-year relationship, looked fabulous in her coral bridesmaid dress. And I was honored to craft a meaningful and personal wedding for John and Jackie.
After a couple days with Grammy and Papa Steve, we took another long flight back to San Francisco to pick up the camper that some fabulous friends/former congregants were storing for us. Then we traded it in for an upgrade since we'll be living in the camper for the next 8 months and for half the year from henceforth.
We set up camp—including water, electric, cell service, and our beloved Wi-Fi—in the parking lot of Shell Ridge Community Church (where I was an associate pastor for 5 years). Its namesake is Shell Ridge, which was a beautiful place to hike and play between my lectures in Berkeley and Walnut Creek. Plus, it was just a short jaunt into San Francisco to hike at our beloved Land's End!
Then Angela's Holy Women Icons Contemplative Coloring Book came out! After preaching and closing my Holy Women Icons Art Show at Shell Ridge, we made our way north. (Note: there are only 6 unsold original paintings left in the collection of 50+ so I'm having a 30% off sale to close out the show!)
We played in Mount Shasta and then relished our propane-fed heater as we dry camped (no electric or water) in Crater Lake where there was 6 feet of snow!
From Crater Lake, we continued to free camp in Eugene where we savored some delicious vegan food and enjoyed long runs along the river.
The most stunning stop has been sans electric, water, Wi-Fi, or cell service in the Clatsop State Forest outside of Portland where we enjoyed a beautiful campsite, a stunning hike along the ridge, and awe-inspiring views while doing outdoor yoga.
We made an incredibly quick stop in Astoria where we actually paid for a full hook-up campsite and stumbled upon an abandoned ship wreck on a long run to the beach…
We finally crossed into Washington where Elizabeth found yet another free place for us to dry camp by the beach in Ocean Shores. Next stop: Olympic National Park and Mount Rainier!
Running along the path to the beach
These travels are beautiful and meaningful. We never forget how incredibly fortunate we are to do this. But traveling full-time has also involved some sacrifice and disappointment. It was an honor to be fully present in John and Jackie's wedding, but it also reminds us how sad we are to miss several other weddings this season because we simply can't afford three more cross country flights for all three of us. Two dear former congregants, Brett and Kelly, are getting married later this month in NC and I'm so disappointed that I cannot be there to officiate. One of my closest friends from seminary, the fabulous Patricia, just announced that she's getting married at the end of May in Atlanta and it breaks my heart not to bear witness to that. And our dearest friends from NC, Page and Kristin, are getting married in July back in Seattle, which is where we are now, but by then we'll be in the Badlands. And next week, one of our most beloved friends from Berkeley, Dr. Wendy Arce, not only celebrates the graduation from her Ph.D. program, but is also speaking at commencement. From so far away, we struggle with how to adequately show our love and support for dear friends as we miss such pivotal times in their lives.
So, dear friends, from Olympic and Glacier and Yellowstone and Badlands, we shall lift our glasses (sippy cups and water bottles) in honor of your achievements and love. Know that our absence is not indicative of any lack of support. As we gaze at the wonders that surround us wherever we roam, we hold in our hearts Wendy, Brett, Kelly, Patricia, Chris, Page, and Kristin.

Ageplay chatroom
Littlespace Online is a free resource for all ageplayers, caregivers, littles, adult babies, diaper lovers, Daddy Doms, Mommy Dommes, and others within or interested in these dynamics.
Account registration, the live chat room, informative articles, helpful advice, downloadable features like coloring pages, and site access as a whole cost no money to any user. Right now we utilize a small advertising program and are looking for specific advertisers for the site.
I aim to give the more casual crowd a place to unwind as well as a place for the more hardcore crowd to exhibit restraint and possibly take a break from going whole hog to commune with a crowd they don't normally interact with.
Slut Roulette doesn't leave any confusion as to what you'll find on the site.
Forget those non-nude chats or the "looking for friends" webcams. The site guarantees 100% amateur girls, so don't worry about finding any of those burnt out, overworked "professional" cam girls that you find on some other live sex sites.
Each girl also has a profile with some preview pictures and information about her.
Usually this involves someone pretending to be younger than they actually are, but more rarely can involve assuming an older role. Sissification of men is one role within ageplay, and can add another type of dynamic to the relationship, it can include degradation and humiliation play.
