Hall of Fame songwriter Bob DiPiero joins Sherod Robertson, host and the publisher of MusicRow Magazine, to chat about his career and how he found success as one of Nashville's most treasured tunesmiths. Bob DiPiero has had 50 BMI "Million-Air" Awards, multiple Songwriter of the Year Awards and two consecutive Triple Play awards for three No. 1 songs within a 12 month period. His songs include such hits as Reba McEntire's "Little Rock", Faith Hill's "Take Me As I Am" and George Strait's "Blue Clear Sky." And one of his most recent songs, "Boys Like You," was recorded by Who Is Fancy, featuring Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor.
In this episode, Bob gives us the 411 behind his career. He shares his favorite place to write, how he feels when he hears artists interpret his songs, and offers some really smart advice to anyone thinking about becoming a songwriter.

Understanding the Motion of a Harmonic Oscillator
This activity has benefited from input through a review and suggestion process.
This activity has benefited from input from faculty educators beyond the author through a review and suggestion process as a part of an activity development workshop. Workshop participants were provided with a set of criteria against which they evaluated each others' activities. For information about the criteria used for this review, see http://serc.carleton.edu/sp/compadre/devactivities/reviewcriteria.html.
This page first made public: Apr 27, 2010
This material is replicated on a number of sites as part of the SERC Pedagogic Service Project
In this interactive lecture demonstration students are guided to a full conceptual understanding of harmonic motion through the use of a variety of resources. This lecture and collection of demonstrations and simulations are intended for introducing the concepts of wave frequency, amplitude and period. More advanced students can also investigate the relationship between uniform circular motion and harmonic motion.
Learning Goals
Amplitude of the wave and the oscillator
Period of the wave and the oscillator
Frequency of the wave and the oscillator
Velocity of the wave with the wavelength and frequency
More advanced students can extend this lesson to relate harmonic motion with circular motion.
Context for Use
Equipment required:
2 students, a cart, a board, and a mass on a spring
A computer, motion detector and software and projection system
Description and Teaching Materials
For the second part of the lecture a motion detector is placed underneath the mass on a spring and the motion is recorded and analyzed
For more advanced students, continue with an applet http://www.phys.hawaii.edu/~teb/java/ntnujava/shm/shm.html which shows the relationship between circular motion and harmonic motion, discussing angular frequency.

Well, a full semester ate up the blog this last month. But I will be back with a new entry next week on Jesus, memory, and oral tradition. It will be a review full of comment.
In the meantime, Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope you also have a great 2012.
It has been sometime since I had a blog entry. I had three major presentations at the Evangelical Theological Society and the Society of Biblical Literature. Those preparations consumed my time the last month.
Last night I reread an essay I read years ago about the use of language in First Century Israel by Joseph Fitzmyer. It is entitled "The Languages of Palestine in the First Century A.D." It was originally published in the Catholic Biblical Quarterly 32 (1970): 501-31.
Just a quick note to highlight the discussion by Richard Bauckham in his Jesus and the Eyewitnesses about the roots of the traditions about Jesus that circulated in the church. This key discussion is on pp. 290-300.
I just picked up John Collins and Gregory Sterling on Hellenism in the Land of Israel (edited volume). Articles by Hengel, van der Horst and Vanderkam are helpful. Not sure we have any specifics on first century Jewish authors writing in Greek from Galilee beyond Josephus (a question Bart Ehrman asked me in our radio debate).
First of all, apologies for being away for so long. I have returned from Sabbatical and getting back up to speed here took some time.
I debated Bart Ehrman a few weeks ago on NT authorship issues. I have since heard from Randolph Richards. He wrote a fine monograph on secretaries and their use in the NT (Paul and First-Century Letter Writing: Secretaries, Composition and Collection).
Part 2 Section 6 [F] Units 1-4 treat various kinds of effective partnerships that also reflect the unity of the body in mission.
The community should work to be united and focus on the spiritual unity we have in Christ. This includes pursuing reconciliation where possible.
Section 2 Part 5 [E] Units 1-5 discuss biblical lifestyle. It calls for a distinctive walk reflecting position in the new humanity, avoiding the distorted sexuality in our world with humility, integrity and simplicity.
Part 2, section 4 [D], units 1-6 deals with doing evangelism in our world. It begins with the need to bring the gospel to all people, unreached and unengaged.
Part 2 and section 3 deals with living in a religiously pluralistic world. How do we interact with other faiths?
Part 2, Section 2b is about building and reflecting the peace of Christ in our broken world. Here the central theme is reconciliation, not only between people and God but between peoples.
Part II of the Commitment deals with practice and issues tied to actually doing the work of mission. The first section of part 2 is long, but that is because it treats the world we live in, a world of pluralism that is globally connected.
The first part of the commitment closes with love for the gospel, for God's people, and for God's mission.
The statement turns to an affirmation of our love for God. It also uses a series of key words to describe how we are to witness for God in a world that often doe not respect Him.
The key terms are bold, humble, robust and gracious as we make a presentation and defense of our God. Dangers, such as syncretism, nominalism and hypocrisy, are also noted.
In Sections 3-5, the Commitment presents the Trinity. I have placed them together so that the relationships can be seen.
Sections 6 and 7 of part one deal with the Word and the World respectively.
The podcast of this broadcast in the UK is now posted on iTunes. You can get it by checking under "Unbelievable? 6 Aug 2011." That is the name of the show.
Its web page is: http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable
God's love and commands to love drive the first section of the statement. Section C is particularly important summarizing the commands of love that are to drive mission. It also reflects being like Christ. Pay attention to the texts tied to the noted affirmations. They contain the teaching points affirmed.
Here is Part 1, Section 1:
I plan over the next several blogs to present a series on the Cape Town Commitment, the statement was a product of the Cape Town Lausaune meetings last October. I will generally present the statement and make some comments. Churches and other organizations need to take a look at what was a statement made with a global Christian base.

Winter, 1998
From The National Office...
Hello to you all from the cold and frozen northeast!
By now you all should have completed your One Hour Swim and are preparing for the February Fitness Challenge. Both of which you will be writing in on the blanks provided on your Check Off Challenge T-shirts. Right??? Nothing like starting the new year out with a bang!
I am very happy to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year as your Executive Secretary and am looking forward to year two. I have gained valuable experience over the past 12 months and I can truly say that my feet are now "wet".
My primary goals for 1998 are:
- To become more efficient in the day to day operations of the National Office which will allow me to become more available to assist the members of the BOD, LMSC Officers, and the USMS membership.
- To increase the channels of communication between the National Office and the membership, by providing you with useful information in a timely fashion.
Late December was "crunch time" for a number of publications, specifically the 1998 Rule Book, LMSC Handbook, and USMS Directory. I would like to thank the following people for their "extra effort" in making sure the information in these publications was accurate, complete and arrived to you in time.
- 1998 Rule Book ~ Meg Smath and the USMS Rule Book Committee.

- A special thank you goes out to Gateway Printing. Gene, Shellie and Joan, you do a great job. Thanks!
- Another publication that we must keep updated is Places To Swim. If you are on-line, check out the Places To Swim page on the USMS WebPage. Jim Matysek has set up the site so that you can submit corrections, additions and deletions at the site. If you are not on-line, send me the current information you have and I will make the revisions.
As you will see, there is plenty of news that you can use in this issue. Please read it and pass it on to others who will use it.
Happy Swimming!
The National Office has a new address:
P.O. Box 185
Londonderry, NH 03053-0185

TIMEThis is an E-mail I received from Shannon Sullivan:
Imagine there is a bank which credits your account each morning with $86,400; carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no cash balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day.
What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!
Well, everyone has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.
Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow". You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!
~ Author Unknown
PoemGus Langner enclosed this "poem" with his Top Ten subscription renewal:
Just a note to say I'm living,
That I'm not among the dead.
Though I'm getting more forgetful,
And mixed up in the head.
I got used to my arthritis,
To my dentures I'm resigned.
I can manage my bifocals,
But gosh I miss my mind!
For sometimes I can't remember,
When I stand at the foot of the stairs.
If I must go up for something,
Or have I just come down from there?
And before the fridge so often,
My poor mind's filled with doubt.
Have I just put food away,
Or have I come to take some out?
So if it's my turn to write you,
There's no need for getting sore.
I may think that I have written,
And don't want to be a bore.
Just remember that I love you,
And wish that you were near.
Now it's nearly mail time,
So I must say goodbye, my dear.
Here I stand beside the mailbox,
With a face so very red!
Instead of mailing you my letter,
I have opened it instead!

There are 87 formal blogger account followers to the Adventures in Writing blog. While there is not a one-to-one correlation, 42 people responded to the poll.
34 of us are aspiring, non-published writers, while 8 of us are published.
27 have finished writing a book, 10 have just started, 4 are half-way done and 2 are almost done. WOW!
Then we have 2 writers who are not book writers, or are lurkers.
Beyond this short little poll, I asked for:
* The working title
* Genre (where it would be in a book store)
* Back of the book blurb
* What you enjoy most about writing
About half of you who took the poll left comments.
This tells me, and the other authors of this blog, a number of things. Mainly, it highlights we have a small, but vibrant community of writers, and some of us have broken through "to the other side." Awesome.
My favorite part of the poll was the comments by far. I loved hearing what everyone is working on!
Thank you all for responding and stopping by our little slice of the intetwebs. The comments and responses are helpful; for example, next week, I'll talk about my totally ego-centric, but massively fun way to come up with your book-blurb.

True Love Tarot
The Wildwood Tarot was my first true tarot deck, and while I appreciate all of the decks that I work with, The Wildwood remains as the deck of my heart, my true tarot love!
I studied The Wildwood exclusively for over a year before I opened myself up to reading with other decks. In the past 6 months, I haven't been working with tarot as much as usual, and not at all with my Wildwood. Having an important choice to make meant consulting my old friend again, so last night I reconnected with the deck, by spending some time shuffling it. I then pulled a card asking if it was ready to work with me again: 5 of Vessels – Ecstasy. Easily one of my favourite cards in the deck, with The Shaman, my mentor card for The Wildwood as the shadow card. I'd say that is an enthusiastic YES!
What was your first tarot deck? What attracted you to it? Is it still your most special deck, or have you moved on to another?

Over 120 developers, introducers, accountants, architects and other property professionals attended specialist lender Regentsmead's industry event last week.
The one stop shop for developers gave property specialists the chance to network and listen to informative seminars about the current state of the market.
The event which Regentsmead hosted alongside Checkmate.uk.com featured seminars ranging from property construction to trading standards relationships.
James Bloom, Chief Executive of Regentsmead, said he was delighted at the attendance in what was its biggest industry event ever.
"We had excellent feedback and were very pleased with the bullish nature of the sentiment in the room," said James.
"There was a good mix of speakers from legal and accounting to a unique construction method discussed and the attendees' feedback showed they obtained some really useful information from the event."
One speaker, David Craddock of EBS ELK, introduced the idea of using closed timber panels for off-site manufacturing.
David pointed out that constructing timber frames for homes offsite could save developers time and money as well as reduce the risk of accidents as the process required fewer workers.
"We were delighted to run this event with our partners Checkmate again and holding it at their parent company Lockton's head office was again a resounding success," added James.
"Overall we were delighted with how the event went and we will certainly be looking to repeat this again in the future, watch this space."

Local family-run construction company RG Carter have been appointed by site owners and developers Urban&Civic to carry out the build. Construction started on 1 June, and the building is due for completion by Christmas.
Gary Ridgewell, Project Director for Urban&Civic, said:
"The Club is going to be a valued addition to the Campus, providing purpose-built facilities in a quality and stylish building and setting. It will support our growing community of businesses as well as the demand we have for events here because of our links and central location. I'm pleased we have been able to once again find a strong local company to deliver this and we are working with RG Carter to maximise the jobs and skills opportunities locally from this build."

The building has been designed by AHMM - the architects who created the award-winning Incubator. It will sit further along the tree-lined Boulevard, and form the start of the next phase of development which will see a mid-tech cluster developing around the historic setting of the Campus listed Second World War Watch Tower.

Saint John Police Force
The Saint John Police Force responded to 95 calls for service.
There are only two items that were considered newsworthy.
Yesterday afternoon at 4:45pm we received a third party call regarding a possible impaired driver on Foster Thurston Drive. We located this vehicle off of Churchill Blvd and a vehicle stop was conducted. As a result of this vehicle stop a 56 year old male driver was arrested for impaired driving. He has since been released on conditions which include a mandatory driver's license suspension and a future provincial court date to answer to the approved criminal charges of Impaired Driving and failing the breathalyzer.
And lastly to report, at 1051pm last evening we received a call from a drinking establishment uptown, which indicated that two males were inside this location off of Prince Edward Street and that these male were refusing to leave. When responding police arrived at this location and discovered that these two males, aged 27 and 29, were highly intoxicated. Both of these males were on previous court ordered conditions to not consume alcohol and as a result of this breach they were placed under arrest and transported to our holding facility. They are expected to appear in Provincial Court later today facing the approved charges.

Highway 62 Open Studio Art Tours are here! Two weekends, starting tomorrow, the studio will be open with new art and new printed gifts. The Open Studio Art Tours (OSAT) is a yearly studio tour in the Morongo Basin. Catalogues are found around town or online, and you can plan out your studio route with the handy map. Last year I did the tours in Joshua Tree, this year it will be in my new location in Pioneertown. Studio #39, along side Mazamar Art Pottery and Geoffrey Fennell.
There is a group show at Gallery 62 in Joshua Tree, where they have one of my pieces on display through the end of the month. Lovely show to parallel the OSAT.
Without any other major shows or festivals on the horizon, I have been gearing up for the holiday season, making sure I have paintings and gifts of all sizes and price ranges, including holiday cards and stocking stuffers. My online store is still sadly neglected, but feel free to email me anytime if you have inquiries or questions. I do ship worldwide.
My studio is open most Thursdays through Mondays, from around 11 to around 6ish. I will not be around on Tuesdays or Wednesday, the same days Pappy and Harriet's is closed.

Beverly M. Collins and Maja Trochimczyk at Phoenix House Venice with their books.
Beverly M. Collins with her 2015 book Mud in Magic
Beverly was joined in the reading by Maja Trochimczyk (poet and Senior Director of Planning at Phoenix House who organized the event) and two patients from the treatment program who read excerpts of their excellent work in progress. The audience of nearly 50 men was very attentive and interested. The afternoon ended with the listeners using one word to describe what they love the most in life: family, sports, art, sunsets, etc... At the end of a poetic afternoon, Beverly and Maja donated books of poetry to Phoenix House.
(a poem of 4-letter words)
Beverly M. Collins
Let's hold rust, that pour mess
onto life, away from idea good.
Purr fire! Melt soft upon hard,
like warm love gets kind pass evil.
Stay real! Mend them!
Grow hope-come feel less lost.
Make eyes more wild with song!
Hand held thru hurt felt, that
we'll miss upon this toss, will
pull cold howl from vain wind.
Can't home stay cake-walk-pure?
Will "wary-mind" name each play?
Only time will tell.
Beverly M. Collins
As I wash my face one evening in the bathroom,
Ponder rises from the steam curled within the heat
I am suddenly aware that in 200 years,
my nose could disappear from all my pictures
like some of he statues of Egypt.
Even small statues were not safe.
Historians may say it was caused by
a thousand miniature chisels in the wind.
This "breaking wind" only wants the nose.
Yo-ho, little tiny wind-pirates!
The probably have caves of stolen noses
hidden somewhere in the hills.
Only bats view them.
This is the fly-paper story some historians
are stuck to. It can be found flourishing,
wherever bridges are sold.
In between Beverly's poems, Maja Trochimczyk read from two of her recent poetry books, Into Light: Poems and Incantations (rev. 2017) and The Rainy Bread: Poems from Exile (2016). The first book consists of positive, mostly spiritual poems, some describing experience of nature, some lessons to be learned from it. It was created after several readings at Phoenix House and includes a poem that was written specifically for the Black History Month event in 2016. The second book gathers poems about WWII experiences about the poet's extended family in Poland - some deported to Siberia by the Soviets in 1940, some starving in a village, waiting for the harvest...
Maja Trochimczyk
Slav, Sclave, Slave —
We are all one — under
That thumb of powers that be
Of powers that do not want us to be,
To become free, creative, enlightened
Slav, Sclave, Slave —
We are all one, united
In the will to connect, all one
In compassion, in awareness
Of the ground under our feet,
The warm soil, trees growing roots,
Sparkling clean water
Flowing to fill us.
Made of water and stardust,
We are all one under the sunrays
Reaching down to touch our skin,
Nourish our muscles.
We claim our freedom
To be wise —to be kind—
To carry each other's burdens
To stand tall, walk forward
Together —
(c) 2016 by Maja Trochimczyk, from Into Light (2016)
NOTE: "Sclave" means "slave" in Latin; the name used by Romans for the "Barbarians" in the north-east of their empire that is the Slavic nations including those in modern-day Poland.
"Hands in Light" by Maja Trochimczyk, from Into Light
A Walk in the Canyon
Maja Trochimczyk
We walk on layers of
past lives. Fossilized shells
skin, bone, membrane.
Ripples in the sand
on the ocean floor
now frame the mountains.
The patterns sculpted
by waves linger on
after water disappeared.
Sand, sandstone, limestone.
Granulated, petrified by time.
falling– sinking – twisting – rising up
Like grains of sand
caught by the cosmic tide
we rise and fall with
the shifting clouds of light
and darkness. Words
change us into stone.
Words melt us in the fire
of compassion.
Like water, we flow
and disappear, droplets
of rain in the mountain stream
racing down the slopes
to the river, through the valley,
searching for the ocean.
The beating wings of the dove
struggle against the wind.
falling– sinking – twisting – rising up
Ciocia Tonia
Maja Trochimczyk
Only a pear tree
between fields of sugar beets and corn.
Ripe pears — that's all left from the house,
barn and orchard. The farm where she raised
her sons, milked her cows, and baked her bread.
Only a pear tree. Alone memento
standing forlorn in an August field.
They ploughed it over— the village church and bus stops,
the neighbors' corrals, where their horses used to neigh.
They ploughed it over — her garden of herbs
and cosmos, its fragile lace of leaves kissed
by sunlight, a dream of a flower —
she used to so love its effervescent beauty
in the past.
It is not painful now, just surprising,
her whole life gone, and only one tree left.
No trace of her ancestral village on the maps.
It was the worst to see her neighbors
running with news, her husband shot
in the middle of the dusty village road.
No time for grief, she saved her tears for later.
The orders came at once, a day to pack,
a long train ride to an unfamiliar city,
near a river she never longed to see.
They said, pack wisely —
take the warmest
clothes, boots, pillows.
Bring as much food
as you can carry.
Where you are going,
there is nothing,
except for freezing breath
and bitter cold.
Only a pear tree
in an empty field of stubble.
Only a pearl tree
in her golden field of dreams.
NOTE: Ciocia Tonia is Aunt Antonina Glinska deported from Skarbkowo near Baranowicze by Soviets to Siberia in 1940. She returned in the 1970s to see where her house once stood and found nothing but fields and one pear tree. . .
(c) 2016 by Maja Trochimczyk, from The Rainy Bread (2016)
Maja Trochimczyk with her book Into Light (2016)
A Perfect Universe
Maja Trochimczyk
We live in a perfect universe
of what is, right next
to a galaxy of universes
of what could have been —
endlessly fascinating and desirable,
yet unnecessary.
A myriad of possibilities opens up
with every step, every gesture.
Choosing well —this is
"the narrow path."
Lily by Maja Trochimczyk, from Into Light

Tips and Tricks for Clogged Residential Drains
You have a clogged drain in your home, and you are wondering what to do next. No matter how desperate you become to clear the clog, do not use chemical drain cleaning products. Chemical drain cleaning products can cause permanent damage to your pipes that cannot be reversed. However, before you call a professional, there are a few things you can do to try to solve the problem.
- If you have a clogged sink, completely fill it up with water and allow it to drain on its own. Try this a couple of times. If it does not work, create a solution of ½ cup baking soda and ½ cup vinegar to pour down the drain. Let this solution sit for several hours before running cold water.
- If your toilet becomes clogged try plunging it with a cup plunger and a flange plunger.
- If your bathtub becomes clogged, cover the drain with a wet cloth and try plunging it.
- If none of these remedies work to alleviate your clogged pipes, contact us and we will send someone out to help you ASAP!

10 Year Limited Warranty
The company supplying this product warrants that this product will be free from defects in material and workmanship as described in this warranty (hereinafter referred to as the "Limited Warranty").
CONDITIONS OF THE 10-YEAR WARRANTY This 10-Year Limited Warranty starts on the date of purchase. If a manufacturing or material defect occurs during the first two years, the supplier will repair or replace (at the suppliers option) the defective mattress. If replacement is required, the supplier may substitute materials of equal or higher quality when the like components are not available. If defects such as splitting or cracking occur during normal usage and proper handling, during the remaining eight (8) years of this limited warranty we will, at our discretion, repair the mattress at a handling cost to you, or replace the mattress at a prorated charge to you. During the third year of the prorated (8) year period, the prorated replacement charge will be fifty (50) percent of the replacement items purchase price. The prorated charge will increase by four (4) percent increments for each subsequent year of the prorated period.
The Limited Warranty does not cover the following:
1. The fabric mattress cover – if provided.2. Slight body impressions (less than one-and-a-half inches).3. Comfort preference.4. Transportation charges for return and reshipping when necessary. 5. Abuse or unsanitary conditions. 6. When used on an inappropriate foundation or box spring. 7. Insect infestation of any kind.
Please note that the supplier reserves the right to refuse service and invalidate this Limited Warranty when the mattress is found to be in unsanitary condition, or when product failure is due to causes other than defective material and/or workmanship. This mattress is only covered under this 10-Year Limited Warranty when used with a solid top foundation, box spring, or a European slat-like system.
In the case of our memory foam products this warranty does not include a normal increase in softness of the material or, in the case of our memory foam products, a decrease in the slow recovery feature. These aspects do not affect the pressure-relieving qualities of the foam.
Your mattress has been constructed with the finest materials. It is designed to conform to a person's individual contour. Your sleeping position may result in "body contouring". This is normal and not a structural defect. SEVERE CONTOURS are impressions which exceed 1.5" (one-and-a-half inches) in depth below the normal level of the product. Severe contours are covered by this Limited Warranty.
This Limited Warranty excludes any and all implied warranties on the suppliers mattresses, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness or a particular purpose. The service terms stated in this limited warranty shall be the consumer's sole and exclusive remedy in the event of product failure during the warranty period. The supplier shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use this product, or for the breach of this or any other express or implied warranty. The suuplier does not warrant that this product is suitable for any person's medical condition. The supplier makes no warranty beyond what is contained in this Limited Warranty.
Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not apply. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary state to state. The supplier does not authorize any person to create for it any other obligation or ability in connection with this warranty.
A Foam Mattress is sensitive to temperature and humidity. In rooms of 65 degrees Fahrenheit or less, or low humidity, the mattress will become somewhat firmer. However, it will readily warm and respond to your body temperature when you lie on it. Polyurethane foam can become more firm if subjected to cold temperatures. It is important that you let it naturally conform to its new environment and allow the foam to adjust to room temperature if purchased in cooler months. Letting it lie flat for 72 hours will aid in its full recovery from shipping. It may take up to 72 hours for your mattress to return to its full dimensions and firmness. However, you may sleep on it right away.
As with any new mattress, it may take a while to become accustomed to your new sleep experience. Most people are very comfortable using their new mattress on the first night. Others, however, may need several days to adjust to the unique foam feeling. We recommend sleeping on your mattress for at least two weeks to get used to it.
Sleep on memory foam side only – this is a no-flip mattress.
Due to its unique manufacturing process, this mattress may retain a slight odor. All foam materials have this characteristic; think of the way a new car smells. Due to extremely high density of the mattress, it may carry the factory odor for up to three weeks. This is normal and harmless.
Cleaning instructions for all mattress covers – spot clean only.

Andrew From FloridaMike, thumbs WAY UP for taking a stand against all of this liberal insanity in your editorial on the air just now. Thank God a Christian has the nerve to make bold statements like that & not be afraid or a wimp because it is "mean" or doesn't sound Christian. TOO many believers don't have the guts to be out Continue Reading
Julie From KentuckyWe are also profusely grateful for this station and its willingness and drive to serve. My husband and I are both musicians and worship leaders and the music played here is a life link to our hearts, thanks again Y'all—His grace and peace to all, in running the race and continue on the journey to the end.

2012-13 PES Scholars Announced
November 2012
228 PES Scholarship Recipients Selected
There is no shortage of talent and drive among undergraduate students majoring in electrical engineering across the country, if only you know where to look. This year, the IEEE Power & Energy Society Scholarship Plus Initiative is proud to announce the distribution of scholarships to 228 students at 100 universities across the United States.
The IEEE PES Scholarship Plus Initiative provides multi-year scholarships and career experience opportunities to qualifying electrical engineering undergraduate students. As long as the scholar continues to meet renewal standards, he or she will receive up to three years of funding — US$2,000 the first year, $2,000 the second year and $3,000 the third year — interspersed with up to two years of valuable, hands-on career experience.
"The IEEE PES Scholarship Plus Initiative is one way we are helping support the next generation of power leaders," said Wanda Reder, Co-Chair of the scholarship. "These are exceptional young men and women who are excited about power and the opportunities in the field."
"Executives across the power and energy industries share a concern for the pipeline of talent entering the power engineering workforce especially as more and more of the Baby Boomers who built today's power system to its present strength prepare to retire," stated Wanda Reder. Over the next decade, almost 62% of the industry has the potential to retire or leave for other reasons.
With this being the second year of the program, the IEEE PES Scholarship Plus Initiativehas supported 265 students attending 109 universities, including Ivy League colleges, flagship state universities and prestigious engineering colleges across the country. The program has supported scholarships worth $642,000 and has raised $4.1 million in cash and pledges from donors for the program, nearing the half-way point of its $10 million goal.
"Being named a PES Scholar is an incredible honor. I am lucky in the fact that I always knew what I wanted to do with my life, but as a female going into an engineering field and being raised by a single mother, I found it challenging. This scholarship has taken away stress about tuition and provided me with the opportunity to contact mentors who can give me rewarding advice. I am proud to represent myself, my university, my company, and my family as a PES Scholar," stated a female PES Scholar.
Two industry leaders have each showed their support of the program through their respective $1 million donations; S&C Foundation, which is affiliated with S&C Electric Company, as well as Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories. Other prominent supporters of the Fund interested in solving power engineering workforce problems include The Grainger Foundation, Alstom, Doble Engineering, Powell Industries, Cooper Power Systems, Southern California Edison, ISO New England, Autodesk, PSE&G, Ulteig, Westinghouse, MidAmerican Energy Foundation, NSTAR, PJM Interconnection and GE Foundation.

Heading into Culture Night in Cork tonight? Stop by the Blackrock Scouts Hall on your way in to see the Faces Project by Cork Analogue Photographers (aka Eyesoup).
You can find directions on Cork Culture Nights' website here
Cork Analogue Photographers are representing their collection of portraits taken during the summer of 2010. The body of work reveals people attending various concerts at the Marquee. The aim of this work is to discover and reflect on diversity among different music fans in and the energy that is unique to the festival season.
Portraits in this collection were taken before the live performances of bands such as Megadeath, Kenny Rodgers, Paul Weller, Deep Purple, Snoop Dog, Tony Bennett and Madness.
Cork Analogue Photographers is a small group of artistic self- funded photographers working together since 2008 solely with film-based photography. We enjoy the craft of shooting and printing film. In the midst of modern technology we are passionate about analogue and alternative processes and certain that the film photography should not be lost. All the work in this exhibition has been hand printed @ Crawford College of Art and Design in Cork.

How committed are you in going for what you truly want? The answer may surprise you.
In the case of ACT therapy the A-C-T stands for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Although, in my experience, lots of us get past the "Acceptance" part, we come unstuck when it comes to "Commitment". This is a general human failing.
It seems that for the vast majority of human beings, simply allowing themselves to go for what they really want is just not on the cards! This is a problem in all aspects of human life and doesn't just relate to the need for commitment to self help techniques for dealing with anxiety issues.
For example, how many times have you made the same New Year Resolutions year after year?
It seems a no-brainer really, doesn't it. Surely if we have the chance to get something we truly desire we grab it with everything we've got? ….Well, no, we don't… Although some of us manage it, some of the time, many of us don't manage it at all for any of the time. So what's the problem?
Let's consider an example. The one which I often use is that of losing weight (one of my lifelong hang-ups). I know I feel happier and fitter and more comfortable when I am at my optimum weight (about a stone lighter than I am most of the time) yet I can't seem to get there and stay there.
From time to time I manage it - usually when I'm busy doing something I enjoy more than I enjoy eating chocolate or ice cream. But I never sustain it. Sooner or later the lure of that tub of salty caramel ice cream or the bar of Galaxy gets the better of me.
I can maintain my ideal weight easily if I lay off the "bad foods" but then my head reminds me of that birthday card joke which on the front reads: "If you want to live to be 100, lay off the wine, women, and gambling…" and then inside it says, "You may not live to be 100 but it sure as hell will feel like it!" And I justify my lapse. But that doesn't help me get nearer my ideal weight.
My downfall every time, I know, is that the lure of having something delicious NOW far outweighs the promise of something good in the future. But because I haven't yet achieved that goal it has no positive emotion attached to it, so it's just a desire. Ok so I have been that weight in the past, but it was fleeting and the emotions attached are now weak.
On the other hand, I had a bar of chocolate far more recently. Once that chocolatey image pops into my head it's more than just an image. Attached to that image is the memory of the sweet, creamy taste…, the sensation as it melts in my mouth… There sense of momentary satisfaction… The contest is over.
That's a dilemma most of us can identify with and it's perfectly understandable. Many businesses rely on this fact in order to persuade us to buy their non-essential goods. They make us aware of how great it will be to own them NOW regardless of how we'll feel when we have to go without something else in order to pay for them later.
The temptation to grab something good now frequently, and understandably, easily overcomes the commitment to achieving something desired yet remote at some time in the future. (How often when you were swotting for exams did you persuade yourself you'd work much better if you just watched this film, met your mates, or maybe went to the beach first?)
But in all my years as a psychologist, I often found myself confronted by someone who insisted on choosing to turn down something good in the present that would also have improved things in the future as well! Instead they'd continue to choose what had always proved to be unpleasant and, in doing so, ensured it would continue into the future.
I'm referring, of course, to the need for self help in overcoming anxiety.
Anxiety is created when we adopt bad habits in the way we respond to the brain's warning signals. The more we persist in these, the worse the anxiety habits become and the more our lives are messed up.
The second step in overcoming any type of anxiety habit is to learn techniques that are needed to replace it. (The first step is understanding it) The third step is in applying these techniques one by one, day by day. (Read more about the three steps here)
The techniques aren't hard to do and not unpleasant - they're far more pleasant to do than joining in with startle warnings and creating a fight or flight response, anxiety symptoms and even a panic attack!
Only by replacing the bad habitual responses to startle warnings, can anxiety be reduced and eventually overcome.
Time and again people would come back to me saying that what I'd suggested didn't work. Time and again we'd look at this together and discover that the reason it hadn't worked was that they weren't actually doing it!
The bottom line is not buying into fearful thoughts and, as soon as they arise, moving the awareness to other things and keeping it there. Simple as that. Anxiety can't increase unless we focus on our fears. This one step repeated day in day out will eventually get rid of the anxiety habit.
Yes, the reward may be at some point in the future but, unlike my ice cream or chocolate cravings, what's on offer in the here and now is actually better as well. It's far more pleasant to think about the feel of stroking the cat, imagine you're strolling across a tropical beach, or to slowly sip and enjoy the taste of a cup of tea… than it is to think fearful thoughts, isn't it? But the technique needs to be practised when you are not feeling anxious first!
The alternative needs to have some positives inked to it. Practising the techniques - such as Calm Scene or Momentary Mindfulness - will allow a good feeling to be linked to the technique. Once this happens your brain will have a bit more reason to encourage you down that path next time anxiety threatens to overwhelm.
Brains link things. Whenever we link positives to any event then we become that bit more likely to repeat it.
The logic behind that can't be faulted. The main reason people don't do it is because they're afraid it won't work and that if they take their minds off the scary thoughts these thoughts will totally overwhelm them and they might go mad.
On the other hand, they do know that if they do what they've aways done - even though it causes them panic, excessive anxiety, etc - they will most probably come through it. So, bad as it might be, they continue to do what they've always done.
But really it's like that time when you first try swimming without the armbands, or riding the bike without stabilisers - until you do it you won't know.
Faith is believing what you don't yet see. The reward for that faith is in seeing what you believed.
St Thomas Aquinas

But really it's like that time when you first try swimming without the armbands, or riding the bike without stabilisers - until you do it you won't know.
So what gets in the way - I think it's often the Acceptance part.
We come to accept what we see as our faults. We learn to live with them. We reach a point where we can't envisage ourselves without them. Those faults and failings become part of who we are, of our identity. There's an unspoken belief that if we lose our issues well lose our identity.
But true acceptance of something also implies not constantly trying to get rid of it.
We acknowledge that we will always wear armbands when in the pool, that we will never learn to swim. In my case I'd have to accept I will always weigh nine stone rather than eight.
So we either accept it OR we commit to doing everything we can to change it.
How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb?
Only one... But it has to WANT to change.
How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb?
Only one... But it has to WANT to change.
We each tend to make excuses for ourselves constantly. We need to ask ourselves whether we want to be as we are - and we can each be whatever we choose. Nobody has to change unless they really want to.
We then either accept it and stop trying to change it or wishing we were different - OR - we commit to changing it and do everything in our power to change the way we behave each and every time.
So which is it to be, for me, the salted caramel ice cream or the happy weight? Hmm…. Is there a way to have both?
Only when I came to create this page did I realise that I wrote about the same thing exactly five years ago! Must be something about the time of year that makes me think along those lines!

Hi Guys We did decide to go away for a few days!
We went 'travelodge-ing it' and it was great! LOL
Ok, it wasn't abroad or somewhere very exotic but Blackpool sure was fun! We ate ice-cream on the sunny days and drank hot chocolate when it rained - which it did! LOL
I guess a break is kinda what you make it isn't it?
Coo was a bit poorly and slept a lot of the time, at other times he was pretty good so we had a relatively trouble free few days away and I think we've both felt the benefit of that.
What is it they say...a change is as good as a rest! and it kinda is! LOL
Incidently, while we were away we visited Blackpool Zoo and it was brilliant!
I got to tickle a tortoise of all things! LOL ... ...Now doesn't this one look like he's smiling? 1-2-3- Awwwwww!
I'm glad we went, even though Coo wasn't the best health wise, it really was an enjoyable time away!
The sun's back, my plants are growing! My peas and salad taste great and all-in-all I'm feeling pretty much content and smiley so that's a bonus too!
Doesn't the sunshine make for some happy vibes! LOL
Hope you're ok and happy thoughts are sent your way,

Considering he loves spice...and has never HAD any Cajun food, I thought it was an odd thing to say.
Playing around online, I found this recipe and decided to adapt it to my own needs (read: convenience).
I had bought Cajun seasoning for another recipe a million years ago and was psyched to be able to use some more of it. Hate buying something and having to throw it away!
The only "difficulty" I found in this recipe was finding chipotle powder. Apparently it isn't a hot commodity at my closest grocery store. I found some chipotle marinade and used some of that powder. If it changed or "ruined" the flavor, I wouldn't be aware. Tasted good to us!
Hubby has now decided that he is willing and able to try more Cajun recipes...yay for breaking down barriers!
2 cans (15.5 oz) kidney beans
4 Garlic cloves (chopped)
1 Tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp powdered chicken stock
1 Tsp garlic salt
1 Tsp dried chipotle powder
1 Tsp liquid smoke
2-3 Bay leaves
1 Onion (chopped)
1 bell pepper (chopped)
1 Tbsp butter
1-2 Tbsp salt (according to taste)
1-2 Tsp cajun seasoning
¼ Cup butter
1 Tsp tabasco sauce
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Lb smoked sausage
1. Drain beans and place in crock pot along with black pepper, chicken stock, garlic, garlic salt, bay leaves, chipotle powder, and liquid smoke.
2. Cover with water until it just covers the bean mixture.
3. Saute peppers and onions with butter
4. Cook on low for 6-8 hours
5. Remove bay leaves, add ¼ cup butter and stir.
6. Add cornstarch with a small amount of water to dissolve, add to bean mixture to thicken.
7. Cook rice according to package.
8. Slice smoked sausage and cook until nicely browned.
9. Season with salt if desired.
10. Put rice in single serving bowls, add beans, top with sausage.
11. Sprinkle with additional cajun seasoning and/or tabasco if desired.
The Weber package was my chipotle marinade
So, I made the servings way too big. This is an incredibly filling meal!

Appleton, Wisconsin
Appleton is partially located in Calumet, Outagamie, and Winnebago Counties in Wisconsin on the Fox River. The city is approximately 100 miles north of Milwaukee. The population of Appleton is about 80,000.
Kate Blood's Grave Information:
Kate Blood's grave is located at Riverside Cemetery in Appleton, Wisconsin. (Riverside Cemetery and St. Joseph's Cemetery sit adjacent to each other).To find it, start in Appleton and take E. Wisconsin Avenue east. Then, turn right onto N. Owaissa St. going south. Take the second left into Riverside Cemetery. Then, take an immediate right onto the small road and continue following it south to Section D of Riverside Cemetery. Park your vehicle and walk down the path that is chained off. Kate M. Blood's gravesite is located on the left hand side of this path, a few feet from Section D in the Riverside Cemetery.
The gravesite of Kate M. Blood is located near the Fox River. It is in an area beyond where the other tombstones are located. She is buried in a wooded area where a trail leads to her gravesite.
Appleton locals have claimed that Kate Blood murdered her husband and three kids. However, this rumor appears to be false, as the gravestones indicate that Kate Blood's husband outlived her and even married a second time. The husband's second wife then outlived him.
According to one source, Kate Blood was just a young wife who died on her way to Colorado to be treated for tuberculosis. She had two children. One of them died very young. The other one was still living when she herself died.
Ghosts and the Paranormal at Kate Blood's Grave in Appleton, Wisconsin:
Some cemetery visitors claim that on the night of a full moon, one can see a reddish liquid seeping from the stone. Others claim that Kate Blood's gravestone is warmer than the other gravestones nearby.

I grew up with all kinds of livestock from sheep to cattle to chickens. I absolutely loved it. There was honestly nothing better than growing up on the farm, learning life lessons while caring for an animal that depended on you. My dad got me my first sheep, Gizmo, when I was around age 5. I remember playing with him in the house (bless my mom's soul for what she went through with all of us kids – she even put diapers on this lamb so I could have it in the house with me!) and rollerblading and he'd follow right along behind me. He got a mixture of feed that included the "odd colored" fruit loops that we purchased from a cereal company in the neighboring town. My kindergarten teacher thought it was pretty neat we fed him fruit loops!
I also learned the circle of life with Gizmo. It wasn't easy when I knew it was time for him to go to market and become meat for our freezer, but I also learned a valuable lesson about what our livestock was for, their role on the farm, and how to respect an animal that would later provide nourishment for my entire family. I learned all of this at a very young age, whether I knew it at the time or not.
The hubs and I have frequently talked about our farm goals and what they include. Three years ago, we raised and butchered a pig for meat for our freezer – it is still providing meat for the two of us, and we gave meat to our family as gifts as well. We also raised chickens and had some for meat and some we kept for egg production. I however, missed cattle the most. The cattle were one of my biggest memories of my family's farm. I can remember mixing milk replacer for the calves, a sweet smell that always hung in our garage. Dunking noses in buckets, teaching calves to drink from a pail was always a soggy mess. Dehorning and castrating calves was always an interesting time on the farm that resulted in everyone helping, me, my brother and Dad, and if my other siblings happened to be home, yep, they were helping too! Shipping cattle to market or our local butcher was something that always reminded me that livestock were not pets, they had a role in life.
We have been really trying to figure out a way to diversify more, to bring more livestock on to the farm since it something both the hubs and I continue to be passionate about. Luckily for us, we have friends who farm and also believe in helping each other out when possible. We recently purchased this guy, a Jersey beef calf, and were able to work out a deal with our farming friends to have him at their place.
He is cute now, but cute gets big. We named him T-bone since we try to name all of our livestock as one of the products they will become (our pig was the Baconater aka Bacon). In about 18 months or so, he will be going to butcher for beef in our freezer as well as sold in quarters to friends and family. The hubs is learning about things like dehorning, vaccinations and castration since he didn't grow up with livestock, and I am getting a refresher of it all again since it has been five years since I've had cattle.
I think the hubs operates sometimes with the mantra "happy wife, happy life" since I convinced him we needed to purchase T-bone. I keep telling him, our own hamburger in our freezer! I'm also glad that we have farming friends who we can work with to try new adventures and learn things every day. We bounce ideas off of each other, talk strategy and work together to get certain jobs done when necessary. Farming is kind of like a big family some days, one I am thankful for, because I learn something from every single farmer I know. I am thankful for those opportunities when I can listen and ask questions because it can only make our farming operation better, and make us better farmers ourselves.
Now, if I only I could get him to get me those three hens for my backyard…
