Milwaukee Murderer: Dual Engine Triumph Build Update
Bottom ends have gone together, thanks to Todd Muller, in-house tech at Lowbrow. Everything clearanced so the later cranks and lumpy cams will actually turn in the 1955 crank cases. Beefy rods. Cylinders bored, ready for paint, and then the top ends will be going together. Heads and high dome pistons ready and lying in wait. My plan was to build two stock '55 T110 motors, but that plan kind of went out the window, fortune favors the bold. Mockup motors and trans in the frame for now as details both large and small get addressed. Changes being made, big ones, as recent as tonight stay tuned for some full profile shots.

Welcome to this month's Sky Watch, courtesy of The Old Farmer's Almanac. We'll tell you the best times to view celestial highlights, including conjunctions, meteor showers, and planets.
Sky Watch August 2014
by Bob Berman, as featured in The Old Farmer's Almanac
(Note: Times listed below are ET.)
The Moon floats between blue Spica and orange Mars on the 3rd. The next night, it sits between Mars and Saturn.
The 10th brings the closest Moon of the year, just 221,765 miles away. It is full in the same hour of its closest approach, creating a large rising Moon at sunset and great tides the next day. The Perseid meteor shower will be ruined by the light of this Moon on the 11th.
Venus spectacularly meets Jupiter low in the east just before dawn on the 18th. Mars, in Libra, passes dramatically below Saturn at nightfall from the 22nd to the 27th in the southwestern sky. Neptune, in Aquarius, reaches opposition on the 29th.
The Moon plops between orange Mars and pale Saturn on the 31st; both planets have precisely the same magnitude 0.6 brightness.
For a full year of Sky Watch—plus astronomical information—pick up a copy of the 2015 Almanac here.

Two shows that opened last week are now online for you to check out.
"Fresh Faces" is a group show at the Project Gallery in LA. The show features work by Nimit Malavia, Yuta Onoda, Dominique Fung and Martha Chan. I heard that some, or all of these artists intern with James Jean. So you can see the influence there, but the individual artists voice are quite clear. It's a great show, head on over and check it out: ProjectGallery.com
The other show that opened is a solo show of Audrey Kawasaki. The show is at the Mondo Bizzarro Gallery in Italy. The work looks great, I really dig the darker/stained wood pieces she has in this show. Kind of a nice change from her other works. There were prints from the show, but looks like they are all gone. Not surprising, her prints usually sell out in a few seconds. Check out the show: Mondo Bizzarro Gallery

Mandrake is a perennial plant that grows wild in areas influenced by the Mediterranean climate. The plant has large leaves and a very short stem, and it bears purple flowers that turn to yellowish fruits.
People often describe mandrake as having the color of fire and say it lights up like lightning at night. Some call it "devil's candle" because it resembles a flickering flame. This is true to some extent because it attracts fireflies.
However, the most important feature of the plant is its thick root that resembles a human being, and some of its properties have been known for at least 6,000 years. The ancient Egyptians referred to the extract of the roots (possibly mixed with alcohol) as "the water of life" or "Sa of life." They believed that whoever drank it would acquire health, vigor, and longevity. According to the ancient Egyptians, the plant had divine power thanks to its relationship with the gods. Therefore, people kept the plant in a visible corner of their homes and lit candles before it. Lighting fires before holy effigies was a common practice in ancient societies, just as it is in Christianity today. The ancient Egyptians used to take vows to mandrake and deified it in their prayers.
What was so special about mandrake? It causes numbness in the body, and this effect is different to those of today's local anesthetics. It causes stupor that can turn into a temporary lunacy or even death in high doses. When taken with alcohol, drunkenness is accompanied by a pleasant and tranquilizing slumber. This stage comes after great stress and pain because the plant has narcotic properties.
Due to its properties, the plant was believed to have mysterious power, and the resemblance of its roots to a human body was taken as evidence for this. This led to its use in sympathetic sorcery. It is believed that consuming its yellow fruits brings sexual energy and fertility to both men and women. In several cultures, eating the fruits is seen as a guarantee of becoming pregnant. The roots, however, were carried as an amulet to symbolize fertility. It is maybe because of this belief that the Goddess of beauty and lust, Aphrodite, is also called Mandragonitis. The Ionians named the plant mandragor. In the famous epic Odysseus, Circe casts a spell on the Argonauts using mandrake.
The Bible also mentions mandrake. From Genesis: "Reuben went to the field during harvest and found mandrake. Rachel used it. Became pregnant and gave birth to a boy." Note that a group of Indian scientists claimed in 1963 that sterile women in Mumbai gave birth to boys after consuming an extract made from mandrake. In Israel, the yellowish-colored, plum-like fruits that ripen during the wheat harvest are very sweet. Overeating these fruits causes dizziness and even madness. Because of the general belief that it facilitates fertilization, it has been used in love potions. Recently, a potion made from ripe mandrake fruits was marketed to newlywed couples. The Jews also used the mandrake root as a talisman against evil spirits. Even today, the mandrake root is carried as a love and good luck charm in eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries.
Mandrake is not just a symbol or talisman of love and fertility. According to legend, King Solomon carried a piece of mandrake root in his seal ring to give him sovereignty over souls. Hippocrates described it as a narcotic to alleviate pain, anxiety, and depression, but he also mentions it as being a magical herb with evil powers.
Hannibal used mandrake to defeat the African army that challenged the power of Carthage. He made a feigned retreat and left barrels of wine tainted with mandrake root in his deserted camp. When his enemies drank the wine to celebrate their victory, they became incapacitated. Hannibal's army then returned and swiftly dispatched them.
There are stories about Caesar and Alexander the Great using mandrake in similar ways in their campaigns. Caesar used it against Sicilian pirates, and Alexander the Great used it during his eastern campaign. Roman soldiers are said to have offered a potion called "Morion" or "Death wine" to prisoners before crucifying them. This potion was made of mandrake, and those who drank it later fell into a death-like sleep without breath or pulse. When this happened, the corpse would be taken off the cross and given to the family for burial. However, some of these would revive before burial, so soldiers were ordered to mutilate the bodies before handing them over to the families.
It is possible that the sponge used to moisten the lips of Jesus Christ while on the cross contained extracts of mandrake and myrrh. Similarly, "Spongia somnifera" (soporific sponge) was used in 15th century Italy as an anesthetic for surgical operations. In the first century BC, the famous Anatolian physician Dioscorides described in his De Materia Medica the use of wine prepared from the root bark of mandrake as an anesthetic for surgery and cauterization.
Mandrake was also used as a medical anesthetic during Pliny's time. It was also believed to be a potent love potion. All parts of the plant were thought to be useful. For example, an herbal tea prepared from its leaves was good for wounds and inflammations.
Sometimes it was given as a suppository. Root bark was prescribed as an emetic, laxative, and analgesic after mixing it with urine.
Ibni Sina (Avicenna, 980-1037) mentions in his famous Kanun fi'd Tıbb (Canon of Medicine) that a mush made from mandrake seeds could cure articular pain and a decoction of the seeds could heal womb diseases. Davut el-Antaki mentioned in his tenth-century book Tezkere-i Davut how a gargle of mandrake water alleviated toothache. He also stated that mandrake relieved headaches when a mush was applied on the head, as well as its effectiveness against pain and insomnia.
In the middle ages, a decoction of the root bark of mandrake was the only anesthetic available for surgery. It fell out from grace in the 14th century when the Soporific Sponge— which was made by soaking a sponge in tinctures of mandrake, hemlock (Conium maculatum), opium, opium lettuce (Lactuca virosa), and ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea)—replaced it. When required, this sponge's contents would be dripped down the nostrils of the patient by squeezing it. To resuscitate patients, onion vinegar would be placed under their noses.
Although its use as an aphrodisiac and anesthetic remained prominent, mandrake became a symbol of sorcery and secret beliefs in the middle ages. An overdose of the root could kill a man or drive him insane with hallucinogenic delirium. Therefore, a religious icon and symbol of goodness became an evil symbol. The "life-giving" fruits called "love apples" came to be known as "Devil's apples." Rumors spread that it was dangerous to collect the roots, and special techniques were developed for their harvest.
The best time for harvesting roots was under a full moon at night. The plant was approached from upwind because the plant would emit poisonous gasses, killing anyone who tried to uproot it. According to Pliny, the grubber would turn around three times with his sword pointing at the plant, clean the soil around it, and then dig the root out while facing west. The historian Flavius Josephus (1 AD) described the process of harvesting these roots from the earth. It was commonly believed that the plant shrieked when harvested, and anyone hearing the piercing cry would die. To avoid these deaths, black dogs were used to gather the roots. The dogs were starved for several days and then tied to the roots, around which a trench was dug. The owner of the dog would stand out of earshot and throw a piece of meat toward the dog. The dog would then leap for the meat, pulling the mandrake root from the ground and killing the dog immediately. The owner could then collect the plant root once the screeching sound stopped. It was recommended that the owner stuff his ears with wax so as not to hear the screeching sound.
The roots were said to bleed from their wounds, and the plant was believed to possess an evil spirit acquired from the devil. The roots would immediately be washed in a stream to cleanse them of evil. Such rumors are still circulated in the Aegean and Mediterranean regions of Turkey. Because it is still commonly believed in Anatolia that pickers become deaf or die from possession, dogs are used to uproot the plant. To avoid the screeching sound during uprooting, drums or tin pots are banged on. According to the late Prof. Turhan Baytop, these are rumors spread by pickers to ward off rivals.
According to one belief, mandrake grows under the gallows tree because of the tears of the hanged person dropping on the soil. Others claim it grows from the urine or semen of the hanged person. Yet another belief suggests the hanged person needs to be either a thief or a virgin for mandrake to grow under the gallows. In Iceland, mandrake is called "Thjofarot" (Thief's root) because it is believed to grow from the froth coming out of a hanged thief's mouth after touching the soil. Therefore, mandrake is also called "Little gallows man." The relationship between mandrake and death was so strong that it led to the belief that this mysterious plant would grow where a person commits suicide.
The high demand for this plant was due to its use as an aphrodisiac and as a talisman. According to one belief, it would bring luck to its owner if uprooted on holy days. It had the ability to make its owner invisible and guide him to hidden treasures. It could save its owner from serious injury or mutilation. It could transmit a disease from one person to another. It could change weather conditions, heal the wounds of domestic animals, summon a desired person—in short, it could do whatever its owners wished. Most important, it was able to tell fortunes. It was believed that it could answer questions about the future and disclose hidden knowledge. It Italy, it was claimed that a mandrake buried up to its neck could answer all questions.
At one time, mandrake was worshipped, and it became an integral part of witchcraft. In medieval Germany, a cult that regarded mandrake as sacred spread fast through the country. The price of mandrake quickly rose. In order to meet the growing demand, some woodcarvers and charlatans started carving roots resembling mandrake to shape male or female figures, selling them as "Alraun" (Mandrake). "Alraun" is derived from the Gothic "allrun," meaning a bloodthirsty witch who drinks the blood of people from their skulls and practices sorcery with their corpses. These figurines were believed to possess evil powers and able to realize the good or evil intentions of their owners. Alrauns were priced by their weight in gold, and because of this high price, techniques were developed to preserve them. They were wrapped in white cloth or cloaks tied with golden rope, or they were kept in pure silk or special boxes. They were removed from their boxes on Friday for a bath, and the bath water was thought good for labor pains.
Naturally, the churches and local authorities became aware of these figurines. After some time, they began to punish their owners, accusing them of practicing sorcery and executing them. In 1630, three women in Hamburg were executed for possessing mandrake figurines.
When the executions became widespread, people started giving away their figurines. However, it was impossible to get rid of them. Figurines that had been thrown out reappeared in their boxes after a short while. Their evil powers were immense. Therefore, the executions by hanging or burning continued. A woman in Orleans in France was hanged for possessing a monkey-like mandrake figurine. Joan of Arc was also accused of carrying a mandrake root on her chest. Although she denied this and other accusations, her body and soul did not escape torture and burning. This was the way to ward off evil spirits in middle ages.
Mandrake root has anesthetic, aphrodisiac, cathartic, cholagogue, emetic, hypnotic, mydriatic, narcotic, nevrine, poison, purgative, refrigerant, sedative, and stimulant properties. Fresh roots were once used to treat chronic pains, convulsions, rheumatic pains, and scrofulous tumors. Pounded leaves and boiled roots were used for the treatment of tumors. Roots boiled in milk were used to treat slow-healing wounds. Roots soaked in brandy were used for chronic rheumatism. Mandrake has also been used for asthma, colic, coughs, hay fever, hepatitis, schizophrenia, and sclerosis.
According to Baytop, mandrake roots have analgesic, soporific, calming and aphrodisiac properties. One or two glasses of a 1% infusion of mandrake roots can be taken, and root powder is taken as 200 mg pills three times a day. Its local names include Abdüsselam otu, adam otu, ademotu, at elması (Silifke), hacılarotu, insanotu, kankurutan, toskafa kavunu (Silifke), and yerelması (Side).
In the street markets of Istanbul, the roots of black bryony (Tamus communis) and squirting cucumber (Ecballium elaterium) are sold as mandrake roots. The first is identified by its needle crystals, and the latter by not having alkaloids.
Chemical research into mandrake has revealed the presence of alkaloids such as atropine, apoatropine, hyoscyamine, scopolamine, belladonine, cuscohydrine, mandragorine, norhyoscyamine, and scopine. The root contains 0.3-0.4% alkaloids, and the ratio of its major alkaloids is hyoscyamine(36):scopolamine(5):atropine(2). In a study carried out in Turkey, atropine (0.3%) and scopolamine (0.03%) were found to be major constituents in the roots containing 0.3-0.4% alkaloids. In the same study, the alkaloid content was 0.2% in the leaves and 0.1% in the seeds. The atropine contents were 0.2% and 0.1% in the leaves and seeds respectively. The scopolamine content was found to be 0.04% in the leaves with only trace amount in the seeds. Dried seeds contain 22.6% fixed oils and 22.1% protein. The major constituents in the oil were found to be oleic and linoleic acids, scopolin, scopoletin, 3-alpha-tigloyloxytropane, 3,6-tigloyloxytropane, chrysatropic acid, and tropic acid. The extracted volatiles from ripe fruit contained ethylbutyrate (22%), hexanol (14%), butylacetate (9%), and hexylacetate (7%) as major constituents. Essential oils obtained by distilling ripe fruit contained the following fatty acid esters: ethyl decanoate (14%), ethyl dodecanoate (13%), and decyl acetate (11%) as major constituents.
The plant is poisonous. Atropine is a racemic mixture of d-hyoscyamine and l-hyoscyamine, with most of its physiological effects due to l-hyoscyamine. It is an antimuscarinic agent that binds to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. It decreases secretions (gastric, intestinal, nasal, saliva, sweat, and tears) and reduces gastrointestinal motility. It dilates the pupils, increases intraocular pressure, and causes photophobia. l-hyoscyamine and l-scopolamine have similar effects. However, scopolamine is a strong hypnotic and generally decreases the heart rate. Hyoscyamine stimulates the cerebral cortex at high doses, while scopolamine has a depressant effect at low doses and leads to deep sleep at high doses. Scopolamine bearing plants have been used as anesthetics in traditional Chinese medicine.
Two remedies containing mandrake are registered in Martindale: The Extra Pharmacopoeia. These are Mandrorhinon and Rheumadoron. The former contains Radix Mandragorae, Radix Scopoliae, ephedrine HCl, nicotinamide, Calcium lactate, Calcium hydrogen phosphate, potassium iodide and propylphenazone, and is used for infections of the upper respiratory tract. The latter is found as a homoeopathic drop or balsam. The balsam is used to treat rheumatic and muscle pains. It contains mandrake root, aconite tuber, arnica flowers, beech leaf, and rosemary oil. The last ingredient is absent from the drop form.
This important plant has firmly entrenched itself in the history of medicine and humanity. Growing on the rocky slopes, field margins, and wastelands of the Aegean and Mediterranean regions, it flowers and bears fruit in the early months of the year. I am certain that future research will discover new mundane, if not otherworldly, properties of this plant.

factory pickup cost
factory pickup cost
No, the charge appears to be mandated and industry wide as apparently your "destination charge." All, correct me if I'm wrong...
That is correct. You could try telling yourself delivery is free but the mandatory tour of factory costs $990 if it will make you feel any better! :-)
And it's buy one get three free ticket price. Think of the savings!
There are many threads on this already but, to make it short, every automobile manufacturer has a delivery charge and it is averaged out among all of their vehicles hence the $990. With the personal delivery, many people spend two hours with the delivery person who is also well-versed in the vehicle. While my understanding is that is not always the case, it is included in the price along with the tutorial.
the factory tour alone is worth it
I would love the tour but the drive back is a 2120 mile drive, which would be a blast, but take a long time without the SuperCharger network in place. #11878 Dolphin Grey/Black 85P 21"Grey Pano, Tech
Just wait 8 months to pick it up.

Yet another mutant biomechanical weapon, building on the proven use of sharks as engines from the UW-33. This was designed specifically for anti-submarine warfare, with greater endurance and intelligence due to the incorporation of a giant squid.
This is the NX-55 Nightsquid Night Fighter model from Gian Pablo Villamil http://www.thingiverse.com/gpvillamil/designs
This is a mashup of the giant squid, reef shark and night fighter from the Autodesk 123D Gallery, all combined in Meshmixer.
Update: v8 adds a cockpit greenhouse, and some conical supports for the drop tanks. You still need to print with full support, but the cones keep the tanks from wobbling too much. You should be able to break them off easily.
I've included the full model, and a plate containing the front and back which should print on a Makerbot, using full support material.

Half Truths & Globalist Bias of The NY Times Front Page Headlines
"We read and rebut their vile crap so you won't have to!"
NY Times (2015): Mount
McKinley Will Again Be Called Denali
President Obama announced that Mount McKinley was being renamed Denali.
SF Gate (2018): Statue of President McKinley to be Removed from Arcata Town
Some say McKinley's
expansionist policies were racist toward indigenous people.
But Obongo's motivation for this symbolism (and now, the decision
of libtarded Arcata, California to remove McKinley's statue from the town square) runs deeper than just mere political
correctness run amok - much deeper. You see, dear fellow history buffs, the 1901 murder of President William
McKinley, at the hands of an Anarchist Red named Leon Czolgosz, ranks as perhaps the most
important turning point of the transitioning of America from a peace-loving, limited government Republic into the violent
Communist-Corporatist Globalist bully that it has long since become.
The sudden and strange death of Vice President Garrett Hobart in 1899 (poison?) had enabled
the same warmongering faction which had maneuvered America into the War With Spain (war to steal naval bases in Philippines
and Guam to be more precise), to impose the phony "hero of San Juan Hill", Theodore Roosevelt, upon
a reluctant President McKinley. With a "Progressive" Globalist madman "just a heartbeat away" from the
Presidency, the word went out among the ranks of the deranged Red psycho patsies to carry out yet another act of what was
referred to by Rothschild's Reds as "the propaganda of the deed." (here) Czolgosz answered
the call to kill and the rest, as they say, is history.
1 & 2: McKinley and his VP
Garret Hobart were very close, both personally and ideologically. 3: Hobart's sudden death
at age 55 enabled the Globalists to impose Theodore Roosevelt upon McKinley as his new VP.
1- Re-election poster depicts
McKinley as a champion of Gold Standard currency, commerce, prosperity, and peace. He was re-elected easily.
2- A filthy alien Red named Leon Czolgosz
murdered a good and popular President; and now, another filthy alien Red (Homo Obongo), with the enthusiastic support
of female Republican't Senator from Alaska, Lisa Murkowski, is murdering his name and memory.
The assassin was an admitted devotee
of the Anarchist rabble rouser, Emma Goldman (cough cough). After the murder, as the nation grieved, the
self-satisfied Goldman trashed the deceased McKinley as "President of the Money Kings" and a "modern Caesar."
(here) In 1919, "Red Emma" was finally booted out of the United States during the "Red

McKinley had been a backer hard currency (gold) and
was a non-interventionist in foreign affairs. With the deadly demise of the "Ron Paul" of his day, fifteen of the
next nineteen years came to be known as "The Progressive Era." The only four years of relative
sanity (Taft 1909-1912) gave way to the disastrous misrule of Woodrow Wilson (enabled by then ex-President
Roosevelt's deliberate splitting of the Republican vote as a third party candidate).
The sharp directional change brought about by the assassination of McKinley
led to previously unimagined levels of Federal intervention in the economic affairs of the nation, the establishment of the
Federal Reserve counterfeiting operation, the Income Tax, U.S. entry World War I and the long train of tragedies of the past
100 years.
William McKinley represents the ideal that was
once called 'America' whereas Czolgosz, Roosevelt and Wilson represent "change." Obongo's erasure of McKinley's
name from the famous mountain adds a poetic touch to both the physical and metaphorical significance of the murder of
McKinley. Had the great mountain of Alaska been named Mount Roosevelt, you can be sure that it would never be renamed!
1 & 2: In spite of bad weather,
huge crowds turned out to honor the beloved and popular fallen President that the up and coming Globalist-Marxist scum of
America hated so much - and still do. 3: Nobody is complaining about the statues of McKinley's successor -- the warmongering banker-agent
Teddy Roosevelt. Why is that?
In 2017, President
Trump, who had already reversed Obongo's decision to remove Andrew Jackson from the $20 in 2020, asked Alaska's two Republican't
Senators Dan Sullivan & Lisa Murkowski, about reversing the mountain's name back to
McKinley. From CNN:
"He (Trump) looked at me and said,
'I heard that the big mountain in Alaska also had -- also its name was changed by executive action. Do you want us to reverse
that?'" Sullivan said. "Lisa -- Sen. Murkowski -- and
I jumped over the desk ... We said no, no!" (here)
Alaska Republicant's Murkowski
and Sullivan wet their panties when Trump suggested a "racist" reversal of Obongo's Executive Order.

Toward a Clearer Understanding of Church Planting
By Nathan Olmstead
"All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matt. 28:18-20).
My belief is that we have been guilty of over-thinking "church planting." We have made complex what was intended to be simple and, in the process, have formulated an unbiblical and unhealthy view of our God-given responsibility and mandate as Christians which is to "make disciples." My heart is not necessarily that we would remove the phrase "church planting" from our vocabulary, but that we would have greater understanding of its biblical implication.
"As followers of Jesus, we have not been commanded to plant churches, but we have been commanded to make disciples."To clarify, the phrase "church planting" is found nowhere in Scripture. As followers of Jesus, we have not been commanded to plant churches, but we have been commanded to make disciples. As I have talked about church planting with many people, I have come to the realization that the phrase invokes, for many, instantaneous pressure associated with words like: institution, numbers, membership, building, methodology, etc. To be of the persuasion that we are responsible to build/plant/form a church would be to strip Jesus of his authority to be the only one who will build his church: "I will build my church…" (Matt. 16:18); "…gave Him to be head over all things to the church" (Eph. 1:22). I have also found that for many people it is difficult to view church planting for what it really is: disciple making. Many times, this is because of the desire to be in control of what the church "should" look like. The pertinent question is: Do we really trust Jesus, through the power of the Spirit, to establish his church? Or are we going to rely on fallible man to dictate what church should look like?
Jesus is our best model of how to go about making disciples. "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14). Jesus' model was one of high intentionality of dwelling with people, more specifically his disciples, and by so doing he revealed to them the Father. One could even argue that Jesus developed more intimacy and discipled more closely the threesome of Peter, James and John. I believe that in so doing, he is revealing to us that sometimes smaller is better. In order to become close to a person in a way that points him to the Father, we need to take time to walk with that person.
The Apostle Paul's model was one and the same as that of Jesus'. Paul focused on the gospel and on making followers of the way of Christ; he didn't seem to have an institutional church model that he was attempting to establish. The disciples naturally banded together into communities.
With the understanding that all believers are called to make disciples, what are some of the ways that I, as a disciple of Jesus, could "dwell among people" and reveal his glory to them? I believe that the answer is simply to follow the command of Jesus to baptize, and teach all his ways. Water baptism, which identifies the new disciple with Christ in his death, burial and resurrection, also establishes the supremacy of Christ in the heart of the individual and points the disciple to Jesus continually. This "pointing to Jesus as Truth" is also the activity of the disciple maker as he or she walks alongside the individual. The intentional work of making disciples eliminates the pressures of "planting or building a church" and emphasizes the heart of the prospective disciple to know Jesus and to walk in obedience to him.
Ezekiel's vision in chapter 37 has been instrumental in my understanding of evangelism leading to biblical discipleship. How we view the spiritual condition of those around us will greatly influence our desire to present Jesus to them. Taking note of the progression from verse 1, "the Spirit of the Lord set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones," onto verse 2, "Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry." God revealed to Ezekiel the need of the people by putting him in the place of need, and it was through active movement among the bones that he received the prophetic word that brought life to the dead. There is a difference between sitting down among people who are dry and actually moving around among the people and rubbing shoulders with them, recognizing their dead condition before God. Are we willing to be placed where there is great need and be moved by God's Spirit to be Jesus to those people? The place of greatest need may be in our own communities, in a neighboring community, or across the oceans. This is what I see in Jesus "dwelling among men." He walked with them, talked with them, rubbed shoulders with them, and then he called them to follow him. This is, at the core, evangelism leading to discipleship. It was only through connecting at a heart level that Ezekiel could effectively prophesy life into the dryness.
With the heart of the Great Commission being "make disciples" through baptism and teaching obedience, what is the ongoing effect of this type of a focus? I believe that the effect is continual "going/disciple making," and our "going" should take us to "all the nations." In so doing, we are not alone. Jesus' promise to us still stands: "I am with you always (all the days), even to the end of the age" (Mt. 28:20).
As RMM's Church Planting Team Coordinator and team, we have been given the charge to assist 10% of Conservative Mennonite Churches to initiate church plants within a three-year period that began February 2013. We exist to assist the churches of CMC develop a strategy for multiplication and, in so doing, desire to put before the churches an applicable model that will allow for more natural and organic church plants to occur. Currently, we are a three-member team: Larry Kaufman, Dion Peachey and me. We desire to work closely with any church or individual that has an interest in seeing the kingdom of God extended in their respective region. We are currently in conversation with several churches and individuals, exploring with them what living out Jesus would look like among a different demographic in their area.
Disciple making and discipleship are not easy and no two locations are the same. There are many challenges in taking on our God-given responsibility, but the blessing of seeing a life transformed by the power of the Spirit is the most wonderful miracle in life. Would you be a part of this amazing work of seeing lives transformed right where you're at?
We are in the process of planting a Spanish speaking church in the town of Lowville, New York. Although we would thoroughly enjoy seeing a stable plant come out of this, our ultimate goal is to send many of the people that we are blessed to work with back to their respective homes and countries as disciple makers/church planters. We have seen this happen in the mountains of central Mexico where three young men, upon returning to their homes with the vision to teach their community, have established a church plant and are currently working toward planting a church in every community in their demographic. We believe that God desires to reproduce this in many more locations and countries. With this understanding, the focus of our work Stateside is disciple making and discipleship that is easily reproducible in any context.
Nathan and Denise and children (Abigail, Isaiah, Clay, Cassia, Trenton, and Jeremiah) live in Croghan, New York. Nathan was a missionary intern with RMM in Cuenca Ecuador from 2000-2003. Nathan and Denise are involved in a Spanish-speaking church plant in their area. Nathan also currently works part time with RMM as Church Planting Team Coordinator and part time in agricultural sales. If you have interest in disciple making or have a question for Nate, please contact him at email@example.com.

The following videos are by Rob aka deidzoeb, a person from YouTube. His wife, Melinda, aka melsbasketcase, is also a YouTuber and Melinda has schizophrenia. She does well when she is properly medicated, but a lot of people go on her channel and try to convince her that her drugs are poison and that she should stop taking them. I hope you will watch all three of Rob's great videos about Psychiatry Denial. He does a great job of showing how psychiatry deniers are simply wrong and how they try to take choice away from people with serious mental illnesses. I have included all three videos here. Please click to find them.

Howdy. Thanks for posting these, Kristen. From what I've read, many people with schizophrenia have periods where they refuse treatment, then try it again, then refuse again. Melinda tried a medication a few years ago that made her lactate and miss periods. (I don't think I'm giving out private details here because she has talked about it in her videos.) She asked to try some other medication and found one that was just as effective without those side effects. So I'm sure there are some very reasonable times when people switch meds too, or just have bad reactions or not enough effectiveness from the drugs they try.
Comment by Deidzoeb— September 23, 2007 #
Interesting because even though some schizophrenics can "be OK" off meds for a while or even much longer, drs. and therapists say they weren't schiz.to begin with if they can survive off meds. I disagree with that statement because there are a lot of different varieties of the illness and with those different "flavors" come different levels of severity. A very mild case may be inherent in THAT particular person's type of schiz. which science hasn't differentiated that person's schiz. from another guy's. So there are different "strains", for lack of a better word that respond differently regardless of treatment like the flu for example. My mild flu for me may go to bronchitis whereas your strain of flu may put you in bed 1-2 days then you're fine. Maybe it's something like that. Sorrys so long.
Comment by MR— November 18, 2007 #
Just substitute "scientologist/CCHR supporter " for "psychiatric denier". $cientology likes to believe there is no such a thing as mental disorder; although if a person who is mentally stressed or "aberrant" ($cientology can help you with that!); it can be cured by their whacked out "therapy"! Although tons of their members and ex-members have mental illness and got into the sick cult because it attracts people with mental problems! People who are thinking critically seldom get involved in an abusive cult to begin with.
Psychiatry…industry of death-their stupid museum devoted to dissing psychiatry is a joke and ought to be shut down.

text: I think, some regions are getting less slots despite having better contestants. But people in some other regions take slots as granted. They don't care at all about WF. They think that qualifying for WF is a lifetime achievement, why bother practicing, let's enjoy the tour instead. So, they don't even stand under rank 50, for years after years!! Participants from these regions continuously perform poorly. So, I think it is better if their slot was decreased so that they would be motivated to perform better next time.

Part of my journey through photography, because I am in the thick of it now, is trying to capture our family as we engage in our last few adventures before moving to Minot ND in the fall. We are really excited to be in the states again but we will miss out on the great adventures we get to go on.
Admittedly, I have more collages of J playing in the hotel then of actual tourist stuff but I wanted to share this set from the Acropolis and talk about it a little.
My husband always tells me when we start the day to make sure to pause and enjoy the moment because we were in ATHENS at the PARTHENON. We are not crowd people so we really struggle to stay in the moment when it's wall to wall people–really we both want to run. But we came, we saw, we photographed, and we left. Husband got a photo of me–of course we have traditional cheesy photos in front of ruins but I wanted to get a few of my sleeping baby to prove to him he'd been there. So I worked on framing and composition and directing the eye. Then I put the camera away and drank a litre of water as we descended from this high up perch that's that much closer to the hot hot sun.

text: Mercury-free dentistry is a service Theriot Family Dental Care offers to ensure the long-term effects of our dental care. The safety of silver fillings is a concern since they generally contain more mercury than silver. Composites, or white fillings, are preferred by Dr. John Theriot and associates for many reasons. First, they do not conduct hot and cold like metal does, reducing patients' sensitivity. They also adhere directly to the tooth, which strengthens the durability of the filling. They are natural in color and therefore less noticeable, which in turn allows more of our patients to smile confidently. Please call 337-984-3408 to set up a consultation with our dentists or to address any questions you may have regarding mercury-free dentistry in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Fun Books That May Help Your Child Overcome Dental Phobia
Dental phobia is extremely common among children. In fact, Dentistry Today states that 19.5% of school age children have a phobia of the dentist or the dental practice. It is not something a child has to live with, though. There are fun, educational ways to help them understand more about the work of the dentist and why visits are so important. Reading books is one option, and here are four fun books that could help you and your child.
1. Dora the Explorer Visits the Dentist
Dora the Explorer has become a great way to teach children about everything. Show Me Your Smile is just the first book on the list to help children curb their fear of the dentist. Through the book, your child will go on a trip with Dora to visit the dentist's office and look at all the tools. They will also find out more about teeth cleaning and the routine checkup.
2. The Berenstain Bears at the Dentist
The Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist by Stan and Jan Berenstain is the next book to pull out to help with the fear of the dentist. This book shows some of the problems of poor oral hygiene without scaring children. Brother Bear has to deal with a cavity while Sister Bear has a loose tooth. With this book, your child will learn all about the different tools dentists use. By learning more about the tools, maybe your child will be less afraid of them.
3. What to Expect When You're at the Dentist
Part of the fear of the dentist is the unknown, and What to Expect When You're at the Dentist by Heidi Murkoff will calm that fear by going through everything your child can expect to see and hear. This is a book for children and parents to read together, and you may feel your own deep fears quashed.
4. Little Critter's Honest Experience
Everyone wants honest experiences of the dental practice, and Little Critter gives that in Just Going to the Dentist by Mercer Meyer. Little Critter takes the reader through the checkup process, along with the x-rays being taken. It is all written from Little Critter's point of view, while even a cavity is being fixed.
It's time to help your child curb that fear of the dentist—and you too. Take your time to read through these fun books and have a discussion about the upcoming visit. Your child may end up loving the experience.

text: "Alex Rider is a normal teenager who lives with his uncle, a boring bank manager… Or so it seems until Ian Rider dies in mysterious circumstances. Alex discovers his uncle was in fact a spy and has been murdered by one of the most dangerous assassins in the world. Recruited into MI6, the schoolboy is thrust into the world of espionage. Linguist, scuba diver, mountaineer, expert shot, and martial arts expert, Alex has all the attributes required to make the perfect teenage super spy. The mission: Be Alex Rider, as you out-spy, outwit and out-cool evil on your GBA. Gameplay includes combat, stealth missions, vehicles, and the use of gadgets to achieve mission objectives." Now, with that out of the way, let me say something that will save you a lot of trouble. Stormbreaker is personafies, and is a perfect example of everything that's wrong with licensed games. However, if you're a fan of the series do read on.One good thing that can be said about this title, for a GBA title it isn't too hard on the eyes. Unfortunately the graphics are outdated, grainy, and at times move at a slow pace. Played from an isometric viewpoint the graphics are what I'd expect if someone took Metal Gear from the NES and gave it a light SNES bump up. Which, after owning a DS, and playing a ton of higher quality GBA titles with cleaner looks, I can say that, while the graphics are probably the highpoint, there are much better examples of what the GBA is still capable of.Techno, cheesy, cheesy, techno music throughout. At times there is little to no sound, and what is there is truly forgettable. This area seems to be the single most ignored aspect of the title. I think sound and music have an immediate impact on any title, a good soundtrack can help get you in the groove, and a lot of times if they music is really good you tend to overlook repetitive or simple gameplay because you're jamming to the tunes.Sluggish would not even begin to describe the controls. Moving Alex around is like driving a ten ton dump truck through wet cement in a blizzard. I guess you can say it lends to being stealthy, you know, moving slowly and all, but no Alex is just plain slow. Add on to that the fact that most actions are followed by a second delay. Maybe Alex is contemplating each and every move with the exacting precision that only a teenage spy can.So you remeber that Metal Gear reference I made back in graphics? Well, throw that out when it comes to gameplay. Think more Doom, without the demons, or weapons, or great atmosphere, or pseudo 3d first person perspective. Yes it's 1989 again and most of your time with Alex will be spent collecting keys to find other keys while "sneaking" past guards. By "sneaking" I mean beating up everything and anything that moves. Even if you walk up to a guard with his back to you he turns around and starts attacking. Yes, I did say beat up, Alex doesn't use guns or lethal means. Which I think is admirable and great for a character that children and preteens will have an interest in, but regardless of the gameworld or story I have trouble with a 15 year old laying the beat down on big burly guards and evil villians hell bent of ruling the world.Maybe, just maybe, if you are a fan of Alex Rider, you might enjoy this. Also, if you haven't played any videogames in the past 15 years or so you'll feel right at home. Otherwise, there's nothing here to recommend, and there are much more enjoyable original games and even licensed titles worth your time and money.I could've thought of worse ways to waste a couple of days. Stormbreaker was like a bad trip down memory lane as the game developers chose to ignore almost every major gameplay advancement in 15 years or so. Hopefully THQ will take this license, and give it to a stronger developer who can make a game that the fans and anyone else can enjoy.

The 8th Annual Unity Celebration was held Wednesday, March 1, 2017. This exciting event brings together folks who work to promote diversity and social justice. This year's celebration featured poetry from LBCC's Poetry Club and a talk by Women's March organizer Erica Fuller. We also recognized individuals and organizations whose work establishes unity and inclusivity on our campus and in the surrounding community.
The awards are as follows:
- Analee Fuentes Unity Award: Presented to one LBCC student, staff member and faculty member for their contributions to diversity and social justice on campus.
- Gary Westford Community Connection Award: Presented to an individual or organization whose work with diversity, inclusion, social justice and equity contributes to the college and community.
2017 award nominees:
Faculty: Robin Havenick, Scott McAleer, Liz Pierce, Ian Priestman, Joyce Thompson-Graham, Matt Usner
Staff: Victoria Fridley, Carol Raymundo, Clare Sobotka
Student: Mounir El Jamal, Ceph Poklemba, Eric Slyter
Community: Rod & Denise Bigner/The Pix Theater, Lina DeMorais, Josefine Fleetwood, Ismail Warsame
2017 award winners:
- Faculty member Robin Havenick won the Analee Fuentes Unity Award for her "tireless advocacy for issues concerning diversity, equity, and social justice." Among other things, she conceived of and developed the African American Literature course, which continues to enroll more and more students. In her other classes, she frequently integrates readings that encourage students to widen their perspectives on diversity. Robin's passion for diversity issues is inspiring to both her students and her colleagues.
- The Learning Center's Writing Center Coordinator Victoria Fridley also won the Analee Fuentes Unity Award. Through Victoria's leadership and social justice philosophy, the Writing Center provides all students meaningful interactions that increase their confidence and writing skill. Victoria facilitates remarkable growth and transformation through consultations marked by respect and deep listening. Many marginalized students first claim their voice and develop trust in their capacity to think critically in the Writing Center, and Victoria deserves recognition for facilitating such a calm, inclusive learning space.
- Student body president Eric Slyter won the Analee Fuentes Unity Award as well. He has worked hard for the voices and
needs of the LBCC student body. He was successful in advocating for Tutor-Assisted
Study Support for Chemistry/Physics students and is a major supporter of Online Educational
Resources, which save LBCC students significant amounts of money. Eric thinks of others
before himself and is always inclusive and empathetic towards all students.
- The Gary Westford Community Connection award went to Pix Theater owners Rod and Diane Bigner for their continued investment in the community by supporting diversity initiatives. In partnership with the Diversity Achievement Center, they generously provided a free screening of the film Selma in conjunction with the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. It was an inclusive and educational event. The theater helped to facilitate discussion before and after the screening as well.

Is That A Flashlight In Your Mouth? Or, Did You Just Follow These Teeth Whitening Tips?
Posted on: 11 October 2017
If you want whiter teeth then the first thing you need to determine is whether or not your teeth can be whitened using traditional whitening methods. If your discoloration is caused from medications, a lack of enamel, health or genetic conditions, then you will need to go another route for your teeth whitening than what many others can choose. You may need to instead go with crowns or porcelain veneers for your whitening needs. However, if your teeth are discolored due to regular wear and tear, the foods you eat, coffee drinking, smoking and other habits, then you can choose one or more of the methods below to try to get a whiter smile:
Over-the-counter Products for teeth whitening
You can go to your local store or pharmacy and find sometimes rows and rows of teeth whitening products and systems for sale. You can also purchase them online. You want to make sure you read all of the instructions and as much printed information as possible before settling on a product.
Some of them will require you to do many steps several times a day for a good period of time in order for you to see noticeable results. Other products may be quite simple to use and require nothing more of you than to wear strips on your teeth for a certain duration. You want to go with the product that meets your budget and your lifestyle the best, while promising you results in the time frame you are hoping for. Keep in mind, if you don't use these products as directed then you may not see any whitening occur.
Professional teeth whitening sessions
If you can make it in to see your dentist, then you may find the best way to go is to have the teeth whitening done at your dentist's office. This way, you will know that the best whitening products in the dental industry will be used and that they will be used by qualified individuals who know how to custom tailor the treatments to meet your individual needs.
You may still have options when having your whitening done at the dentist's office. For example, you may have the option of going with tray bleaching or by going with laser teeth whitening treatments.
Home remedy teeth whitening
If you are a person who prefers to go with home remedies, then you may be able to get your teeth whiter with things you already have around the house, or that you can pick up the next time you are out shopping.
You can make your own whitening toothpaste by combining some peroxide with baking soda until it is nice and creamy. You will brush your teeth with this homemade paste in lieu of your regular store-bought toothpaste. You can also swish and gargle with coconut oil a few times a day for whiter teeth. This teeth whitening treatment is referred to as 'coconut oil pulling'.

Cheap Flights to Rome
Rome, the 'Eternal City', is the capital of Italy and of the Lazio (Latium) region. It's the famed city of the Seven Hills, La Dolce Vita, the Vatican City and Three Coins in the Fountain. The Historic Center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Old Rome is the center of the Roman medieval and Renaissance periods, with beautiful plazas, cathedrals, the Pantheon, and plenty of laid back dining; includes the Navona, Campo de' Fiori, and the Jewish Ghetto neighborhoods. Colosseo area is the heart of ancient Rome, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Forum of Augustus, the Forum and Markets of Trajan, the Capitoline and its museums. In Italy timetables and similar information is "just a suggestion" (Quote from the fellow Italian traveler). Do not put too much faith into any information you read or get. Rome's main airport, Fiumicino Airport, is modern, large, rather efficient, and well connected to the center of the city by public transportation, but consider not arriving late in the evening in Rome to have the most transportation options to downtown. (Pause for advertisement): Find airline tickets, travel deals, bed and breakfasts, Cheap flights. Obtain air fare prices, lodging, air tickets, and student travel. Check out flights, trip tickets, air line specials, low prices on air travel fares and more at AirGorilla.com (end of ad). Ciampino International Airport (Rome Ciampino, code CIA) si located to the southeast of the capital, this is the city's low-cost airline flight airport, serving Easyjet, Ryanair and Wizzair flights, among others (see xiscount airlines in Europe). This small airport is closer to the city center than Fiumicino but has no direct train connection. COTRAL/Schiaffini operates buses from both airports to the city. If you arrive or depart after hours at Fiumicino (Unlike some airports that close down completely, there are a few flights in the early hours, although these tend to be charters for Italian holidaymakers), the airport shuttle is probably your best bet. Taxis in Rome are white. There are fixed fares from downtown to the airports. Rental cars are available from all major carriers at both airports. Providers can be reached easily in the Arrivals Hall at Fiumicino and in the airport terminal at Ciampino. Rome's main railway station is Termini Station. Like any other train station, it is not very safe at night. Driving to Rome is quite easy; as they say, all roads lead to Rome. Most cruise ships dock in Civitavecchia, to afford their passengers opportunity to visit the area and/or Rome. Many ships arrange a shuttle bus to and from the port entrance. Once you're in the center, you are best off on foot. What could be more romantic than strolling through Rome on foot holding hands? That is hard to beat! The best choice for a first-time visitor is to stay downtown (like near the Pantheon): most attractions are walking distance from there, it will save much time from transportation and leave more for enjoying the city. Hotels in the downtown are costly, but a good apartment is a decent alternative, especially for couples and if you don't mind cooking yourself from time to time: it will save even more of your budget.

Sunny Spain is no longer growing in popularity, whilst the USA and Egypt should be preparing for more and more tourists, according to new statistics from the UK's fastest growing online independent travel agent, sunshine.co.uk. Tourist's reasons for their destination likes and dislikes are also revealed.
Sale statistics and holiday booking figures released by online travel agent sunshine.co.uk have revealed the destinations that are most (and least) popular with consumers today. Spain is no longer as popular as it once was, judging by percentage share of bookings at sunshine.co.uk, whilst the USA is becoming a more desirable place to go on holiday.
When looking at the reasons behind the popularity of certain resorts, sunshine.co.uk found that found that 59% of people didn't find Spain as appealing because of the high density of English tourists and bars, claiming it was not foreign enough. USA, on the other hand, has seen bookings almost double and 48% said they would cross the pond just to try and meet a celebrity.
When asked if and why they would be put off visiting Tunisia on holiday, 2 respondents claimed they would prefer not to go because they were scared of camels. One person commented that they were less likely to holiday in the Canaries because they were afraid of birds, but Turkey was a hit with 11 people who said they'd go for the kebabs.
The top five destinations that have seen the biggest growth in popularity on sunshine.co.uk are;
1. Egypt
2. Greece
4. Turkey
5. Portugal
The bottom five destinations that have seen the least growth in popularity on sunshine.co.uk are;
1. Malta
3. Italy
4. Tunisia
5. Spain
Speaking about the most and least popular destinations, Chris Brown, co-founder of sunshine.co.uk said; "After looking at the popularity of certain destinations based on percentage share of bookings on our site from a trade point of view, we then wanted to hear why consumers like or dislike certain locations. Some of the reasons people gave for not wanting to holiday in certain places were very amusing, especially in the instance of the one respondent who was afraid of birds and as a result didn't want to go to the Canaries."
He continued, "The fact that a select few would visit Turkey for a traditional Kebab is rather funny, but some of the reasons, such as Spain not being so popular for being "too English" were more common. On the contrary however, some did actually like the idea of Spain being a bit more familiar. I suppose in the case of holidays, everyone has different preferences."

The Medway region of the South-East of England is a rural, and in parts marshy, area with a rich history associated with its strategic location with the River Medway. During Roman times the city of Rochester was established on the site of an Iron Age settlement, and it became a crossing point for Watling Street to bridge the river.Parts of the Roman town are still visible today in Medway's Rochester, such as the city wall.
The Medway region and its position to the river has meant that throughout history the area has played an important strategic role for the country. A dockyard was not built there until the reign of Henry VIII, but it continued in operation until 1984, when it closed controversially with the loss of eight thousand jobs and contributed to a decline in many local supplier's businesses.
Parts of the dockyard survive today, as do a series of forts that protected the Royal Navy docks. Famously, the docks launched HMS Victory in 1765.
The area of Medway is full of historic monuments and buildings, yet still enjoys extensive investment and development, particularly along the river. Housebuilding is ongoing, and redevelopment is also strong in the area.
With a wide diversity in terms of architecture, the Medway region relies on a wide range of construction and roofing skills to carry out projects such as:
- Liquid waterproofing for commercial buildings
- Flat roof repair and maintenance
- Rubber roof kits and installation
- Green roofs for urban eco-friendly projects
- Shed roof replacement
- Flat roof installation
- And more.
Finding a reliable, trustworthy tradesman in Medway just got easier with the introduction of the Permaroof approved installer network.

"SAP® HANA™ will allow us to bring in operating and management reporting, while cutting development times and associated infrastructure costs, thereby improving business reporting performance"
Luciano Caroti, Head of IT Systems, Publiacqua S.p.A.
Since 1 January 2002, Publiacqua S.p.A. has been contracted to manage the integrated water services for Italy's 'Local Authority Water Board No 3 – Medio Valdarno'. The company has 648 employees, turns over € 160 million and provides services across four Italian provinces (Florence, Prato, Pistoia and Arezzo) and 49 municipalities, serving around 1,277,000 people across more than 380,000 properties. Publiacqua's role ranges from producing and selling drinking water, to filtering and managing sewers, chemical and biological laboratory checks, and the assessment and management of partnerships pertaining to its core business.
Publiacqua launched a technology audit with an eye to building a business intelligence environment that is flexible, fast and helps optimise business processes. The main goal of the project was to consolidate operating and management reporting – together with strategic planning – within a single data warehouse architecture capable of handling a growing number of users.
SAP HANA® was integrated into existing SAP systems using a multi-node configuration, allowing the client to use business warehouse datasets that will run faster thanks to SAP HANA®. At the same time, development tools will be used to gradually build an application architecture, which is both robust and flexible.

Meagan Reissy - Education Coordinator
Hi, I'm Meagan Reissy and I'm a Kindergarten/1st grade EL teacher at St. Paul City School and 2014-2015 will be my third year at the school. Before getting my teaching license I worked for 10 years at a hospital in St. Paul staffing nurses while getting my B.A. in Social Science, pursuing my Masters in Teaching ESL at Hamline, and also volunteer teaching adult ESL classes with the MN Literacy Council. In grade school, I played the flute at school and the handbells at church, then transitioned to choir in high school. I have always had a deep appreciation and love for music and felt like it helps to connect people. In addition to having many academic benefits for students in schools, music and art are things that can be shared across cultures. Music has been proven to help language learners develop vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and increase comprehension of learned language. Unfortunately, music and art is something that has been recently cut in schools, which is why I love what Viva Musica is doing so much! Music and art are integral parts of every student's education.

Mary, Dessie and Dick still staying silent on secrets of the Albert era
WHEN I saw Mary Harney strolling in the Dublin suburb of Monkstown a couple of weeks past it was impossible - at least for a few fleeting seconds - not to be transported back in time.
She has been out of the limelight since she decided to hustle off into the political twilight almost three years ago. But she was an enduring presence in our public life through countless moments of high drama. However, since she retired she has remained steadfastly schtum on the goings-on in Leinster House and further afield.
Her determined silence attained a special significance in recent days following the death of Albert Reynolds. Both she and Des O'Malley, her long-time partner in politics, failed to provide any assessment of the man with whom they had shared so much political jousting. Could it be that their low-key reaction tells its own story? And former Labour Party leader Dick Spring, while acknowledging Mr Reynold's contribution to the peace process, also seems to have tempered his comments to a minimum.
Yet this triumvirate of Harney, O'Malley, and Spring would have much to say about the Albert Reynolds era, should they wish to let us in on some of their secrets. The truth is that all three emerged as sworn enemies of Albert during his time as Taoiseach - and such was the bitterness and venom on all sides that it led to the collapse of two governments in a remarkably short period.
Many tributes were paid, and justifiably so, to Albert's swashbuckling, and often courageous, contribution to the peace process. He was, of course, greatly helped by the fact that his opposite number in Britain at the time, John Major, was essentially a reasonable and far-sighted politician. Luckily, he was unshackled by the traditions of hardline conservatism, unlike Margaret Thatcher. But Mr Major took the hard road in the cause of Ireland. The fact that he got a special round of applause at Albert's funeral was a heart-warming experience.
Many journalists have attested to a genuine likeability, which was part of Albert's persona. But the life and times of this complex politician was not as simple or as cheerful as his outward hail-fellow-well-met veneer might have suggested. And the Harney-O'Malley-Spring axis had an inside track on much of that. Perhaps we will never really know what led to all the suspicion and distrust which so poisoned their relationship with a politician who brought affability to such a high level in other parts of his life.
In a strange kind of way Ms Harney's political career mirrored that of the man who would be Taoiseach for such a short time. Both reached dizzying levels of achievement, only to see things peter out, as the endgame in their careers approached. In the political world they both shared a strong sense of destiny, coupled with enormous self-belief, and a determination to forge their own pathway, come what may.
Mary Harney was only 24, and shortly out of college, when she became the youngest-ever member of the Seanad. In her prime she emerged as one of the most innovative and impressive Irish politicians in the history of the state. When her political world was turned upside down during the reign of Charles Haughey, she became one of the driving forces in the creation of a new political phenomena known as the Progressive Democrats.
Ms Harney is reputed to have said "the worst day in government is better than the best day in opposition'' and it is a mantra she put to full effect throughout her career. The turbulence between the PDs and Haughey's Fianna Fail has been well documented - yet it never stopped either side trying to do business with one another when power was at stake.
Despite personal antipathy between Haughey on the one hand, and Mr O'Malley, Ms Harney and the PDs on the other, all were capable of building up a reasonable degree of working trust for periods in government. And, of course, later on, Ms Harney and Bertie Ahern forged a solid and professional working relationship.
But it was not the case with Albert. There was suspicion and personal loathing on all sides. The net result is that, despite all the striving over so much time, Albert could only hold down the job of Taoiseach for less than three years. So why was the usually gregarious deal-maker from Longford-Westmeath so touchy?
In fairness, those who were there during this period have pointed out that personalities such as Mr O'Malley and Mr Spring were also no shrinking violets when fighting their respective corners.
But, for some reason, relations with Albert seemed doomed almost from the word go. All the key players remained edgy and wary of one another. Albert's old street-fighting instincts were never too far beneath the surface and he was always determined to get his retaliation in first.
It's now all so much water under the bridge, but there are many mysteries and unanswered questions surrounding the time when Albert was Taoiseach. The other key players in the drama have done little to enlighten us, and their silence on the high-risk politics which brought down two governments with breathtaking speed has continued in recent days. Ms Harney and Mr O'Malley, so long at the heartbeat of PD politics, really had an inside track on those days.
Albert was certainly a much more soulful man than some of the understandably fulsome tributes in recent days have suggested. His multi- faceted personality, plus some inner demons, meant his time as Taoiseach was remarkably short. After years of striving he landed the top job - and then he blew it. Those who knew him well during the ebb and flow of those times, Ms Harney, Mr O'Malley and Mr Spring, surely have some secrets they might share. But they ain't saying anything for now.
Maybe never!
