TIG Welding Cast Aluminum Elbows- A Beginners Journey.
As I've mentioned in other posts, I am a beginner in the world of TIG welding. I really began tackling TIG welding about a year ago after we offered a crash-course internally here at Eastwood. With the launch of our Eastwood TIG 200 it made it easier than ever for me to finally start learning.
I soon caught the TIG welding bug, and I found myself spending lunch breaks and free time trying to pick up the basics of TIG welding. I started with steel since it was less intimidating than learning to TIG weld aluminum. Above is a picture of my progress, and although my pace and steady hand hasn't fully developed yet, I was starting to get the hang of it. Ultimately I wanted to be able to weld thin gauge aluminum tubing for a custom intake project I had in the works. As soon as I started to feel comfortable welding steel I jumped right into learning to TIG weld aluminum (albeit too quickly). It was frustrating at first, but as they say "practice makes perfect"... or at least practice makes "better" in this case. Below you can see me practicing on some plate aluminum by welding bead after bead.
Fast forward to January, and I am ready to begin my custom intake project. I ordered up some 6061 .065 tubing and a pair of cast tight radius 90's. The first job in this process is to cut and weld the 90's together to create as tight of a 180 degree radius as possible. This was a bit daunting since 3" cast 90's aren't very cheap if I messed it up!
After I cut the pieces down and beveled the edges, I cleaned the weld area with a stainless brush, and Pre. I dropped the helmet down, took a deep breath, and began welding. Above you can see the results. I am satisfied with how it came out, I just need to keep practicing to get that consistent "stack of dimes" look. As I was welding, I did notice that the bevel I made was a bit wide at some points and made it difficult to keep the puddle consistent. I was also getting a lot of contaminants coming to the surface as I was welding, and I couldn't figure out why. After some thought today, it hit me that I prepped the immediate area around the joint, but I probably didn't clean a large enough area. That probably caused all of the contaminants I saw popping up in the leading edge of the puddle. Since I have to weld aother piece to this elbow, I decided to media blast the entire elbow and follow it up with our After Weld to get the surface etched clean. Now that I've taken those extra steps, I really can see how much cleaner the metal is. I'm pretty confident that's where the contaminants were coming from. Next time I can hit the joint with the stainless brush to remove any minuscule corrosion and enjoy a clean weld puddle!
With anything like this, I'll always be perfecting my skills. I have a long way to go, but I can assure you, that I am hooked on the art of TIG welding!

Robert M. "Slick" Durand
HARVEY, MI. – Robert Michael "Slick" Durand, age 62, of 29 Silver Creek Drive, Marquette, entered eternal life Sunday, October 27, 2013, at his home, in the loving, comforting care of his family and the caregivers of UP Home Health and Hospice.
Born April 23, 1951 in Marquette, a son of Leonard A. and Lydia L. (Just) Durand, Sr., Slick grew up in the Harvey area and began his working career with Cliff Dow in Marquette. He married the former Lois Irene Quayle at St. Christopher Catholic Church and together the couple established their home in Harvey and raised their family there. Slick was employed with Wickes Lumber Company in Skandia for many years and then with Pro Build when the company moved to Marquette. When he retired in 2011, due to ill health, he had completed over 43 years of service to the company, during a career in which he served as yardman, loaded and drove trucks, plowed snow in winter, and was, in general, a jack of all trades for the company. An avid outdoorsman, Slick enjoyed his camp on Helen Lake, especially times spent with his grandchildren when he could share his love of fishing, including attending numerous fishing derbies on Helen Lake, and those special times of 4 wheeling with the grandkids over to Silver Lake for double dip ice cream. Slick was skilled at woodworking, built the family home, enjoyed cooking on the grill for family and friends, was a deer hunter his whole life, was an enthusiastic Packer and Red Wing fan, liked country music, and usually did most of this while enjoying a Pabst Blue Ribbon. For many years, Slick was a volunteer firefighter with the Sands Township Volunteer Fire Department.
Robert is survived by his wife, Lois: daughters, Glenda (Josh) Weigner of Green Bay, WI, Gail (Ed) Goedert of Marquette, and Carolyn (Chad) Boase of Negaunee; 8 grandchildren, Scott and Hailey LaJeunesse, Nathan, MacKenzie, and Zachary Weigner, Kalob Reynolds, Kelsie and Katalina Boase; his sister, Lorraine Poole of Harvey; sister-in-law, Lois Durand of Ishpeming; and special friend and hunting companion, William Malmborg of Green Bay, WI; many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Slick was preceded in death by a granddaughter, Alyssa Weigner; sisters, Geraldine (the late, Jack) Croschere, Gloria (the late, Roger) Kivi; and brothers, Leonard Durand, Jr and Floyd Durand.
Services will be held at St. Christopher Catholic Church on Saturday, November 9, and will be announced.

Wakefield, Herbert Russell
Herbert Russell Wakefield 1888-1964
English short story writer, novelist, publisher, and civil servant.
Though he wrote in a variety of genres, Herbert Russell Wakefield is remembered principally as one of the early masters of the British ghost story. His tales of the supernatural, in the tradition of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and Montague Rhodes (M. R.) James and concerned mainly with the lives of England's upper classes, were published in a series of collections and were widely anthologized. They Return at Evening (1928), the first of these collections, established Wakefield as a skillful and inventive writer with stories such as "The Red Lodge" and "He Cometh and He Passeth By." Over the next thirty-six years, Wakefield produced more than seventy-five ghost stories, as well as crime novels, mysteries, and radio dramas. Though he was referred to as "the dean of ghost story writers" by August Derleth, his American publisher, his work has not achieved the fame of other practitioners of the M. R. James school.
Biographical Information
Wakefield was born in Kent, England on May 9, 1888. His father, Henry Russell Wakefield, later became the Bishop of Birmingham, and his brother, Gilbert, was a well-known playwright. Wakefield first attended Marlborough, then went on to take a degree in Modern History at University College, Oxford. While at school he played cricket, rugger, and golf, this last being a sport he would continue throughout his life and incorporate into his story "The Seventeenth Hole at Duncaster." After Oxford, Wakefield worked as Lord Northcliffe's personal private secretary, traveling abroad with him on numerous occasions, including a trip to the United States in 1913. When World War I broke out in 1914, he joined the Royal Scots Fusiliers and was eventually promoted to Captain. After the war, he began working as an editor at Philip Allan publishers in London and in January of 1920, he married Barbara Standish Waldo, the daughter of wealthy Americans who took a house in London for part of each year. It was while editing the "Creeps Library" at Philip Allan that Wakefield began to experiement with writing horror stories of his own. Wakefield's first two books, Gallimaufry, a light-hearted novel, and They Return at Evening, his first collection of ghost stories, appeared in 1928. Several more collections followed quickly, and in 1930 he left his work in publishing to become a full-time author. By 1935 Wakefield was at the peak of his writing career. In 1936, he was divorced from Waldo. A second marriage to Jessica Sidney Davey followed in 1946. During World War II Wakefield served as an air raid warden. He lost his own home in a Nazi air raid during the last months of the war and lived for the rest of his life in various rented accomodations. After the war he continued to write ghost stories, but his popularity began to wane. Although Arkham House published two more of his volumes in the United States, as well as two additional tales posthumously, American pulp magazines eventually became the only other outlet for his work. Readers in Wakefield's own country lost interest in his writing and by the time he died of cancer in August of 1964, he had become somewhat of a recluse, hurt and embittered by neglect from his countrymen.
Major Works
Described by August Derleth as the "last major representative of a ghost story tradition that began with Le Fanu and reached its peak with M. R. James," Wakefield's early works embodied the classic British horror story. His writing grew out of a strong personal belief in psychic phenomena and his insistence that "there are many things in heaven and earth for which we have no explanation." "The Red Lodge," Wakefield's first story from his initial collection, They Return at Evening, is based partially on his own experiences at a Queen Anne house near Richmond Bridge. Several suicides had taken place at the house and when the author visited in 1917, he experienced a feeling of "devitalisation and psychic malaise" and saw the blurred face of a man at one of the windows though no one was inside. "He Cometh and He Passeth By," a dramatic black magic story also from this first collection, highlights Wakefield's continuing interest in crime stories; his character Oscar Clinton was based upon the life of a real-life satanist. They Return at Evening was well received and became a Book-of-the-Month Recommendation in the United States. Two more collections of ghost stories followed quickly: Old Man's Beard (1929)—published in the United States as Others Who Returned—and Imagine a Man in a Box (1931). Old Man's Beard contains the famous "Look up There" in which Wakefield's trademark restraint is evident. The cause of the terror experienced by the characters is never fully revealed, yet the atmosphere of fear is strongly conveyed and readers are left with disturbing, unanswered questions. The second of these books, Imagine a Man in a Box, indicates Wakefield's growing interest in different genres, with just over half of the stories supernatural and the others comprised of science fiction, comedy, and mystery. Two additional collections, Ghost Stories and A Ghostly Company, based mainly on stories from previous books, were released in 1932 and 1935. Wakefield was also experimenting with different genres during this time, including two studies in crimonology, The Green Bicycle Case (1932) and Landru, the French Bluebeard (1936), and three volumes of detective fiction, Hearken to the Evidence (1933), Belt of Suspicion (1936), and Hostess to Death (1938). In 1940 another collection of ghost stories was published, called The Clock Strikes Twelve. This collection seems to be an attempt to return to his earlier style, and Wakefield is at the top of his form in many of the stories, such as "Into Outer Darkness," the tale of a haunted manor, "The Alley," another haunted house story, and "Lucky's Grove," one of his most anthologised stories. However, The Clock Strikes Twelve was to be the last of Wakefield's books ever published in his own country. After the Second World War, two more books were published in the United States by August Derleth (Arkham House)—an American edition of The Clock Strikes Twelve in 1946, and Strayers from Sheol, which did not appear until twenty-one years later in 1961. This final volume contains "A Kink in Space-Time," in which the protagonist comes face-to-face with his own ghost, and "The Gorge of the Churels," which is thought to be one of Wakefield's finest stories, reminiscent of scenes in E. M. Forster's A Passage to India. The Churels are the ghosts of Indian women who have died in childbirth yet haunt the gorge "with a view to seizing the soul of some living child and carrying it off to the void to comfort them." A British family visiting the gorge scorns such a foolish superstition, yet it is their Indian manservant who saves their own child from the very thing they mock.
Critical Reception
Commentators frequently mention Wakefield's lean, elegant prose and understated climaxes which mark his early work with sophistication and produce what H. P. Lovecraft termed "great heights of horror." Though these stories were likened to those of M. R. James, Le Fanu, and Henry James, some commentators note that Wakefield's style changed over the years, becoming more formulaic. His later tales deal as often with the psychological as with the supernatural, and are weakened by an increasing inclusion of graphic physical violence and ghosts with a voracious appetite for revenge. In the 1930s Wakefield tried his hand at criminology books and detective novels, attempts which may have arisen not only from the desire to be seen as a more serious writer but also from the need to replace income lost due to his divorce from Waldo. Neither the detective novels nor the criminology books achieved lasting success, though Hearken to the Evidence was selected as a Book-of-the-Month-Club Recommendation. In his later years Wakefield became increasingly bitter over the lack of recognition his work received in his own country, and he destroyed many of his private papers and manuscripts, convinced that no one would be interested in them. His death was not mentioned by the British press.

SOURCE: A review of They Return at Evening. Times Literary Supplement 1364 (22 March 1928): 223.
[In the following review, Wakefield's first collection of ghost stories, They Return at Evening, is favorably reviewed.]
Mr. Wakefield in this collection of ghost stories [They Return at Evening] provides a pleasing variety in the activities of his spectral characters. In "The Third Coach," for instance, he permits an anticipatory revelation of a railway accident to prove invaluable in a rogue who is able to make use of his knowledge to secure the removal of an ungrateful hussy who seeks to blackmail her former partner in crime for the benefit of a...

[In the following review, Allen reviews Wakefield's Gallimaufry unfavorably by using words from one of the author's own characters.]
The word gallimaufry, so Mr. Wakefield informs us, is described in the New English Dictionary as a "hotch-potch" or "ragout." Thus the reader is early informed [in Gallimaufry] that it is not Mr. Wakefield's intention to write an orthodox novel, with plot, climax and characterization, but rather a hotch-potch of conversations and incidents meant chiefly to amuse. The ambition may sound humble enough, but to...

[In the following review, the critic compares Wakefield's Imagine a Man in a Box unfavorably to the works of Saki and A. E. Coppard.]
In Mr. Wakefield's previous books of short stories he was astute enough to concern himself exclusively with the realm of the occult and displayed considerable skill in that chosen field. In his new collection [Imagine a Man in a Box] only two stories of the thirteen are based on the supernatural, and it must be stated at the outset that this shift in emphasis is an unhappy one for the author's reputation.

[In the following review, the author gives a synopsis of Wakefield's Hearken to the Evidence.]
Lady Tarnhorn's husband was a troublesome invalid and her senior by many years; moreover—although presumably a faithful wife—she was known to have inspired other men with infatuation. In spite of these circumstances no suspicion at first attached to her when her husband died of arsenic poisoning, because one of the infatuated young men confessed to murder, swore that she had known nothing of his plan and then committed suicide. With that, no doubt, the tragedy would...

The author of these weird tales (orthodox ghosts are rather scarce in them, but supernaturally occasioned fatalities abound) was born in 1888, the son of a future Bishop of Birmingham. Educated at Marlborough, where he distinguished himself in cricket and rugger, and University College, Oxford, where he played golf for the University, he became personal private secretary to Lord North cliffe in 1911, and later fought on the Western...

In the past ghosts had certain traditional activities; they could speak and gibber, for instance; they could clank chains. They were generally local, confined to one spot. Now their liberties have been greatly extended; they can go anywhere, they can manifest themselves in scores of ways. Like women and...

The publication of M. R. James's Ghost Stories of an Antiquary set in motion a spectral procession of tales about confrontations between antiquaries and beguilingly far-fetched horrors: in E. G. Swain's "The Place of Safety," the Vicar of Stoneground Parish is visited at night by an order of...

H. P. Lovecraft offered the opinion (in Supernatural Horror in Literature) that "we must judge a weird tale … by the emotional level which it attains at its least mundane part," that "atmosphere is the most important thing." Fair enough, but Lovecraft didn't write ghost...

There is a gulf between Supernatural and Horror fiction; it is sometimes bridged, but the entities nevertheless remain unique. In today's world, where power and violence appear to have overcome taste and subtlety, the Supernatural per se is in eclipse. Its sister, Horror, albeit in the form of...

Old Man's Beard, H. Russell Wakefield's second collection of ghost stories, was first published in 1929. Its American edition was retitled Others Who Returned, no doubt to echo the title of his first collection, They Return at Evening, which had enjoyed modest success the year before.

When H. R. Wakefield's third collection of original fiction, Imagine a Man in a Box, appeared in 1931, its author had left the relative safety of a steady job in publishing in favour of earning a living solely from his writing.

For the most part,1930-1934-D Lincoln cents are scarce in MS66 condition and higher and more so than the dates after 1934. This 1930-D is comparable to the 1932-D in MS66 condition. For the 1930-D there are probably no more than 200 examples that exist in this grade or higher.

While Africans per capita consume very little of the world's biological resources, Africa's growing population is bringing the region close to reaching it's ecological limits, according to a groundbreaking report that Global Footprint Network, in conjunction with WWF, presented on June 9, 2008 at the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment in Johannesburg.
Offering the first in-depth look at the Ecological Footprint of Africa and its constituent countries, Africa: Ecological Footprint and Human Wellbeing examines the role natural resources can play in advancing the region's goals to end poverty and disease – or conversely, if mismanaged, in thwarting these goals. The report is the result of a multi-year effort by Global Footprint Network and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation to explore how ecological limits apply and relate to human development in the region.

Casual and natural curly hairdo for men
This head of tight, brown curls translates into a great casual hairstyle for men. The styling finish is damp, giving it that fresh, just-out-of-the-shower look. The hairline and ears are cleanly outlined, and hair is cut in a barely noticeable fade on the sides, to flatten the curl in that area. The whole vibe of the hairstyle, despite the curls (or maybe because of them) is relaxed and easygoing.

Russian Blue History
- Despite its name, it is not certain that this breed truly came from Russia.
- Pinpointing the precise origins of the Russian Blue has proven elusive. Three theories prevail: the breed came from the Archangel Isles in northern Russia, or it is the direct descendant of the Royal Cat of the Russian Czars, or finally, this breed bravely clung to the shoulders of Cossacks as they rode into war.
- It is touted as one the oldest natural cat breeds in existence and among the first breeds displayed at the Crystal Palace in England in 1875.
- A few Russian Blues arrived in the United States in 1900, but the true popularity push for this breed did not begin until after World War II.
- When the numbers of this breed became low in the early 1940s, some breeders cross bred it with the Siamese. Today, the Siamese traits have been bred completely out.
- The Cat Fanciers Association accepted the Russian Blue for registration in 1949.
Russian Blue Behavior Concerns
- Far from the life of the party, the Russian Blue prefers a quiet household and adapts nicely to being home alone while you are at work.
- Gentle and affectionate, this breed is not pushy or overly demonstrative, but is happily devoted to its favorite people.
- This breed is bright and able to entertain himself with toys when you are not available to join in playtime.
- Don't mistake shyness for aloofness in the breed, especially with strangers or houseguests.
- The Russian Blue can co-exist nicely with other family pets or contently be the one and only pet.
- This breed is exceptionally tuned in to a person's mood and has been known to clown around to shake the blues from people.
Look of Russian Blues
- This breed sports a lean, medium-sized body and its signature plush, blue-grey coat.
- This double coat feels like silk and each hair is dipped in silver accent to give off a shimmering look.
- Russian Blue features vivid green eyes, prominent whisker pads that make it look like it bears a perpetual smile and a fine-boned body medium in size.
Grooming Russian Blue Cats
- Daily petting goes a long way in keeping the sleek look of the Russian Blue. No need to bring out a brush. However, your Blue will never turn down a good petting.
- You will rarely see a Russian Blue with a bad hair day. That's because this breed takes pride in keeping its short, dense blue coat well groomed.
- Not prone to developing matted fur.
Suggested Nutritional Needs for Russian Blues
- Serve high quality commercial food to keep its coat healthy and reduce shedding.
Fun Facts of Russian Blues
- The Russian Blue bears four popular nicknames: "Maltese," "Archangel Blues," "Spanish Blue" and "Foreign Blue."
- Easily mistaken for a British Shorthair, Chartreux or Korat breeds.
Did you know?
- A decrease in cat grooming behavior may indicate they are in pain.
- Some cat parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your cat.

Despite selling millions of records and being one of the biggest pop stars on Planet Earth, Lady Gaga has revealed that astronomical tour overheads left her bankrupt five years ago.
Mother Monster says that at the time The Monster Ball Tour kicked off in November 2009 she had millions in the bank but decided to blow the lot on the extravagant stage production.
Speaking in the documentary Who the F**k is Arthur Fogel?, which follows the career of Canadian music promoter Athur Fogel, Gaga said: "I had three million dollars in the bank to my name and I threw it all in to make my stage. So I was bankrupt during the show."
Explaining that her family were bewildered by her financial troubles, Gaga added: "I remember I went home and I was with my dad and he said, 'I don't understand. 'Bad Romance' is out. You are all over the radio. Everyone is talking about you and you don't have a pot to p*** in'.
"I said, 'Just let me do this. Let me just put it on the stage because I think if I can do this I can get Arthur Fogel's attention.' And I did."
Gaga's fortunes changed when Arthur Fogel offered her a lucrative global deal with promoters Live Nation.
She said: "I remember he called me and he said, 'We want to do this'. And he got Live Nation to write me a $40 million cheque. And it changed my life and the life of my whole family."
Gaga played a controversial show at South by Southwest in Texas last week which saw her get cooked on a spit road.

Never-before-seen Roger Tory Peterson originals on display at RTPI
JAMESTOWN The Roger Tory Peterson Institute announces the opening of a new exhibition featuring rare original art never before displayed. Roger Tory Peterson: The Art of the Line is now open to the public and will run through May 12.
Jamestown's Roger Tory Peterson (1908-1996) was best known for his landmark book, A Field Guide to the Birds, which started his career as a field guide author, illustrator and editor that continues to inform and inspire to know and love nature firsthand.
However, bird book illustrations were only part of Peterson's life as a nature educator. Often the most practical way for Peterson to make his point was with India ink and crow-quill pen. This exhibition celebrates his mastery of this age-old medium with a display of over 50 rare originals from the Institute's permanent collection, never before seen by the public.
Peterson illustrated several popular books with his brilliantly executed pen-and-ink drawings. Among these were How to Know the Birds (1949), Wild America (1955), The Bird Watcher's Anthology (1957), and Penguins (1979). This exhibition features work used to illustrate these four books, which Peterson produced during, perhaps, his busiest and most influential period.
As with his field guide art, Peterson's line drawings reveal his genius at image making that is as beautiful as it is correct. Peterson learned to draw from masters at New York's Art Students League and National Academy of Design and refined his own practice as a master draftsman throughout his storied career. Studying these illustrations will give the viewer a new appreciation for Peterson's life and work as the most celebrated naturalist of the 20th century.
The Peterson Institute also is featuring an exhibit titled, Roger Tory Peterson the Botanical Illustrator, featuring original color plates from his 1968 Peterson Field Guide to Wildflowers; an incredible display of fossils including a Columbian Mammoth excavated in Randolph, and additional art from the life work of Roger Tory Peterson. The Institute is located at 311 Curtis St. in Jamestown and is open to the public Tuesdays through Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays 1 to 5 p.m. For more information, call 665-2473 or visit www.rtpi.org.

In earlier posts on this blog, I have talked about how airlines plan their flights and how our fuel loads will often limit what we can carry. In this post I want to discuss how performance will affect departure payloads.
The airlines do not plan for a payload capacity just based on what the airplane will carry. That would be too easy. Instead, the most important parameter that must be eliminated first is performance. Two parts factor into this. The first, and simplest, is the requirement to abort the takeoff at V1 minus one knot and still be able to stop on the remaining runway. That's pretty simple to understand.
The second is an engine failure on takeoff, commonly called a V1 cut or V1 failure. In short, this means that an engine fails at or above the V1 speed, which means that even though the airplane is still on the ground, it will—it must—continue the takeoff. Performance calculations work backwards. Each takeoff consists of a four-segment climb that ends at 1,500 feet agl (there are some slight variations based on certain certification criteria for each aircraft, some of which may be chosen by the manufacturer, and some of which are federally imposed). Each aircraft will have different climb performance capabilities, and will thus reach that 1,500 feet, less one engine, at a different point in time for a given takeoff weight.
Performance calculations, given to the pilots in a useable format by the engineers who did the figuring, essentially work backwards. First, given the weather conditions, especially (but not limited to) temperature, we know, for each airport and each runway, at what point we must reach 1,500 feet following an engine failure. If we are too heavy, we won't reach 1,500 feet in time, so we must start at a lower weight. As the temperature goes up, the performance goes down, so the maximum takeoff weight goes down. At John F. Kennedy International with a 14,000-foot runway at sea level, it is rarely a problem. At La Guardia, in the same city, with a pair of 7,000-foot runways and a number of potential obstacles not far from the runways, heat becomes a major problem in the summer.
Once we know the maximum takeoff weight based on calculated performance requirements, we can calculate maximum payload. Fuel is the first concern—you aren't going anywhere without it. Once that is determined, you can determine the passenger and bag count. It gets worse if an alternate is required.
At airports with short runways or at high elevations, I've seen days where the CRJ can only carry 30 or 40 passengers. Sometimes the performance penalties are based on the surrounding terrain, and the potential requirement that we be able to fly a single-engine departure in mountainous terrain. Helena, Montana; Roanoke, Virginia; Key West, Florida; Chicago Midway; White Plains, New York; and New Haven, Connecticut, all come to mind as places where I have had to leave a lot of passengers or bags behind–not because of the ability to use two engines to get airborne, but because I need to know that the same airplane will fly safely with one engine shut down.
Winter operations can be problematic as well, because using engine bleed air for deicing operations can degrade performance. So can contaminated runways. Construction projects often wreak havoc as well.
This is a greatly simplified explanation of what goes into performance considerations, but it touches on the highlights. It's something to keep in mind if you are told by the gate agent or crew that "performance" or "weight and balance" is going to require that you (or your bags) take a later flight.
As inconvenient as it may be, take some consolation that safety is not going to be compromised for the potential of a few bucks for the airline. They'd rather lose your money than your life or their equipment.–Chip Wright

Peter P. Chudzik Jr.
Peter P. Chudzik Jr., age 95, passed away Dec. 31, 2012.
He was born June 18, 1917 in Yonkers, NY, the second son of the late Peter P. Chudzik Sr. and Agnes (Dull) Chudzik.
At an early age, his family moved to Dunkirk, NY. His mother and an infant sister died in the great flu epidemic of 1919. His father then married Mary (Dziadzo) Chudzik who raised Peter and his older brother, John S. Chudzik (deceased).
After high school, Peter was employed by Alco Products at the Dunkirk plant. In 1940, he married Edith (Purol) Chudzik (deceased). In 1944, despite having a wife and one child, he enlisted in the U.S. Army. He stated that "Our country was at war and most of the guys I grew up with were in the service. My brother John joined the Navy so I felt I had to answer the call to service too." The war took Mister Chudzik, now Sgt. Chudzik after basic training at Camp Wheeler in Macon, Georgia to assigned duty in the Philippines, Okinawa and Japan as a member of General Douglas McArthur's Headquarters staff. Group honors and medals for his military service include: the Philippine Liberation Medal, the World War II Victory Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Medal, the Good Conduct Medal and the Japan Occupation Medal and Unit Citation.
Returning to Dunkirk in 1947, Mr. Chudzik resumed his work at Alco Products after a very brief three days rest. His work at Alco Products lasted for 24 years until the plant closed for good. During his employment, he was the Supervisor of the Heat Treatment and Non-Destructive Testing Labs. He was ASME and Nuclear Regulatory Agency certified in Magna Flux, Leak Testing, Ultra Sonic Testing and X-ray Testing. He also worked for 17 years for the Graham Corporation in Batavia, NY, after the closing of Alco Products, with similar duties and responsibilities. The job involved their moving to Batavia.
Peter and Edith Chudzik were happy to return to their "roots" on Ounce Street in Dunkirk after his retirement. For the next 10 years, he founded and operated his own industrial inspection service for area companies on a contract basis.
His memberships included Blessed Mary Angela R.C. Parish – St. Hyacinth's Church, a charter member of the National World War II Museum, a life member of the Polish Literary & Assembly Rooms (Dom Polski), the First Ward Falcon Club, the Polish Falcons of Batavia and the Veterans of Foreign Wars of Fredonia, Dunkirk and Batavia. He was a Past Commander of the Gordon Scott Memorial VFW Post of Fredonia.
Mr. Chudzik delighted in playing pinochle at local clubs, working on his lawn and garden on Ounce Street and attending funerals for fallen veterans as a member of the Dunkirk Joint Veterans Council Honor Guard. For many years, he enjoyed meeting every Monday morning for breakfast with his long time friends, Frank "Buck" Mirek, Casimir "Cas" Kuziora and the late Henry "Hank" Kupiec at various locations depending on the special offers and coupons offered at local eateries.
Surviving are his daughter, Judy (Thomas) Diederich of Woodstock, Ga.; his son-in-law, Bruce (the late Nancy Chudzik) Butcher of Hamlin, NY; three grandchildren, Virginia Richards and Jacquie Diederich, both of Atlanta, Ga., and Jessica Frank of Fairport, NY; and four great-grandchildren, Caitlin and Moira Richards of Woodstock, Ga., Taylor and Peter "PJ" Frank of Fairport, NY.
In addition to his parents, stepmother and siblings, he was predeceased by his daughter, Nancy Chudzik Butcher, who died Sept. 20, 2012.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Memorial Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated Friday, May 24, 2013 at 11 a.m. in Blessed Mary Angela R.C. Parish – St. Hyacinth's Church. Private interment will be in St. Hyacinth's Cemetery. Visitation will be on Thursday, May 23, 2013 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at the Newman Funeral Home Inc. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be made to the Dunkirk Free Library, 536 Central Ave., Dunkirk, NY 14048.

About the Authors: Jamie Lawrence and Jerry Doran serve in the Office of Academic Exchange Programs in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
In January, the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) established an official LinkedIn group for the Fulbright Program, the U.S. Government's flagship international educational exchange program. The group includes nine subgroups organized by academic and professional fields.
The response has been impressive: 3,000 members joined in the first three weeks. The group is an active forum for past, current and future Fulbright participants from around the world to connect on a professional level around the fields of their interest.
The LinkedIn group is the latest way ECA is using social media to expand the Fulbright Program's reach and engage with our communities. These platforms support the purpose of the Fulbright's Program - to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.
Other Fulbright Program social media initiatives include:
- An official Fulbright Facebook page, allowing the Fulbright community to stay connected, ask questions, read news about Fulbrighters and share links. Over 17,000 Facebook users "like" the Fulbright Program, making it one of the most popular State Department Facebook pages.
- A Fulbright Program Vimeo channel featuring Fulbright testimonials and informational clips on program developments. From the videos, Fulbright applicants can learn more about the Fulbright experience and get application tips from current participants and alumni.
- Twitter feeds for Fulbright U.S. Students and Fulbright U.S. Scholars, which compliment the international exchange information Tweeted by ECA's Assistant Secretary Ann Stock.
Fulbright also hosts communities on two State Department-sponsored social media platforms: State Alumni and ExchangesConnect. Administered by ECA, membership in ExchangesConnect is open to anyone interested in international exchanges. Fulbright maintains a profile page and group page. The State Alumni website is a community exclusively for current and former grantees of U.S. government-sponsored exchanges. Fulbright on State Alumni allows Fulbrighters to find fellow alumni, share ideas, and learn about jobs and alumni activities in their communities.
The late Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, author of the Fulbright legislation, said, "Educational exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of communication can to the humanizing of international relations." The effective use of social media platforms helps to meet the Fulbright program's mutual understanding goals by engaging our global community, promoting collaboration and amplifying the Fulbright people-to-people exchange experience.
The Fulbright Program, sponsored by ECA, is supported by the people of the United States and partner countries around the world. Since 1946, more than 300,000 Fulbrighters from over 155 countries have participated in the program.
Eduardo M. in North Carolina writes:
This is an excellent initiative. I think social media should play an important role to connect Fulbrighters around the world, and to promote mutual understanding among people of the world and US. As a Fulbrighter and Journalist, I will be happy to contribute with this wonderful idea and to share my thoughts and experience. Congratulations!
Federico S. in Argentina writes:
I celebrate this initiative, and I want to tell you that the Argentine Fulbright Alumni Association (AFAA) has created a Linkeding group 1 year ago, which has more than 500 members at this moment. To be part of the group you should be verified by the board of the AFAA (they check if the person is a Fulbrighter). AFAA uses the group to promote activities of the Association, the Commission and the US Embassy. Thanks to Internet and social media we never loose contact with all the important people we know in our Exchanges.

Samsung Electronics, a leading producer of NAND flash memory and solid-state drives (SSDs), on Monday said that it had begun sampling of SSDs that are based on multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory with toggle DDR interface. The new drives are designed for performance-demanding enterprise customers.
The new line of SSDs from Samsung includes 100GB, 200GB and 400GB models. The drives employ 30nm-class MLC NAND flash chips with a toggle DDR interface and a controller that uses a Serial ATA-300 interface. As a result, the new drives can process random read commands at 43 000 input/outputs per second (IOPS) and random writes at 11 000 IOPS. According to Samsung, such levels of performance closely approaches or even exceeds some of the SLC NAND-based SSDs now in the marketplace.
In addition, the new Samsung SSDs feature an 'end-to-end data protection' function with advanced data encryption algorithm to assure reliability and security for the drive.
"As more and more server makers are adopting SSDs for use in eco-friendly platforms that consume less electrical power, the need for high-density SSDs in the server market is growing rapidly. While Samsung is already well situated in the SSD market for enterprise servers with high-performance SSDs using single-level-cell (SLC) NAND flash memory, we are now expanding our line-up to include high-density SSDs using MLC NAND flash memory," said Byungse So, senior vice president of memory product planning and application engineering team at Samsung Electronics.
With the new SSDs, Samsung widens its range of SSD densities for server and storage applications to include 2.5" 50, 60, 100 and 120GB SSDs using SLC NAND flash memory, and 2.5" 100, 200 and 400GB SSDs using MLC NAND flash memory. Samsung also now has 3.5" SLC-based SSDs in 100 and 200GB densities.
According to Gartner, shipments of SSDs for servers and enterprise storage systems will increase to 6.3 million units in 2014 from 324 thousand units in 2009. In revenue, the SSD enterprise market is expected to grow more than seven times from $485 million to $3.6 billion during the same period.
Starting next month, Samsung will begin mass producing its new MLC-based enterprise drives.

Local flavors on tap today at Wild Center
TUPPER LAKE – To taste the salty bite of prosciutto in Italy, the smoky crunch of a German wurst or the hoppy flavor in a beer brewed by Trappist monks, people would need to pack their bags, fly across the Atlantic and remember their passport.
But today, people can skip the flight and come to The Wild Center for an all-day food festival, picking up a passport with their admission ticket that will let them travel from one Adirondack taste to the next.
The passport will allow people to taste Adirondack delicacies like local cheeses and meat, seasonal vegetables, maple rhubarb crisp, homemade ice cream and locally brewed beers.
The tasting stations, catered by Adirondack Artisan Catering and located throughout the museum's campus, will focus on the best food and flavors found in the Adirondacks.
This year's focus is on maple, showing that it's not just for pancakes and French toast. Parker Family Maple will be on hand to show various methods of maple production from colonial times to the late 1800s through a living-history demonstration by this fifth-generation maple family. Attendees will be able to sample different grades of pure New York maple syrup.
Many of the ingredients highlighted at tasting stations will be available for purchase from the vendors of the Adirondack Farmers' Market Cooperative Inc. and The Wild Center's own farmers market.
FlavorFest is an opportunity to meet some of the local farmers and take home some local seasonal foods.
Those attending will also get to see a new documentary, "Nourish," which illustrates how food connects everyone to one another and the world at large.
Chris Ericson of the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery will talk about brewing different types of beer, how to taste beer and how to pair beer with food. He will also provide tastings of five of the brewery's beers, including Ubu Ale, Lake Placid IPA and 46er Pale Ale.
Chef Dave Hunt of Generations restaurant in Lake Placid will have a local tasting sautee station where you can create your own dish using local vegetables and sauce sauteed before your eyes.
Herbalist Jane Desotelle will give an edible food presentation, lead a walk showing how to identify edible and medicinal plants that can be found on Wild Center and other Adirondack trails, and sell her locally made products including herbal teas, wild foods and catnip toys.
A century-and-a-half ago, lumberjacks and farm workers ate a lot of bread, providing them with quick energy from complex carbohydrates, but it wasn't as easy as just picking up a loaf from the store. Hallie Bond will show the pleasures and pitfalls of being a baker back then.
There will be family games and activities focused on food throughout the day to keep the little ones occupied. Attendees can visit with farm animals from Harmony Hills Farmstead, strike a pose in the food photo booth, hand-crank their way to their own ice cream treat, make a real Mr. Potato Head, and hop to the finish during a potato sack race.
There will be live music all day on the GreenLeaf pond, featuring Big Slyde and a variety of hoedowns, waltzes, polkas, jigs and more from Ed and Geraldine. There will also be an expanded farmers market to pick up some fresh items for dinner, and Master Gardeners from Cornell Cooperative Extension on hand to answer growing questions.
The Wild Center is open daily from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Admission tickets cost $17 for adults (15 to 64 years old), $15 for seniots (65+, $10 for youth (4 to 14) and free for current members and children 3 and under.

Skip to comments.LET THE LEFTISTS HAVE IT ALL
Posted on 02/26/2013 6:30:34 AM PST by 7thson
I am going to try to say this without too much rambling. Last night driving home, I turned on the radio to listen to Mark Levin. He is in the middle of his rant against McDonnell of Virginia. He then talks about Scott of Florida and lists the Repub governors who have now accepted Obamacare.
A few of those governors were Tea Party favorites McDonnell, Scott, Brewer, Kasich, Martinez.
It seemed so depressing. Every time we turn around, this guy in the White House continues to win his goals while our beliefs are constantly undermined.
This Lent, I have started to read more and more of the Bible, the passages from My Daily Bread and from My Imitation of Christ. A belief that I have had for a few years now is now hardening more and more. We continue to set these people up to be our saviors only to constantly have them betray our principles. I have come to recognize and believe more and more that there is only one Savior and that is Jesus Christ. True, He is not going to run for political office and he will not be here right now to set things straight as we think they should be.
Years ago, I thought that the system corrupted the individuals. Now I firmly believe that before an individual runs for political office, the wet finger goes in the air, and the individual chooses the political party they think will get them in office. The political individual is corrupt from the get-go and uses us to achieve their ends.
I just do not believe these people anymore. I see myself becoming less involved in worldly and political events. I want to get more involved with Jesus, with God. The leftists can have it. Let it all crumble. I will side with Jesus.
Okay, I get the sentiment - but in a practical basis - what does that mean? How do you walk that one out? Do you just not care any more if you are taxed or regulated into the poor house? Do you quit supporting causes like, oh, pro life or sanctity of marriage? Will you be happy to hear from the Obama Care death panel now? I mean, you can walk away from the system, but the system will not walk away from you.
Yet, on Election Day, there was little to no Get out the Vote effort by the Republicans, no armies of lawyers checking for voter fraud, and the next day everybody was talking like this election was like any other election.
I'm sorry, but I DID believe this election was "the most important in a generation". Before Obama was elected, my family had a 6-figure income, we owned a house, we tithed to our church, and helped out those in need. After 5 years of Obama, we're on Food Stamsp, lost the house, declared bankruptcy, and are on the receiving end of that charity.
Now that I see that the Republican party loves and admires Obama as much as Rahm Emanuel does, I agree with you: following the King of Kings is way better than trusting in Princes.
All that matters to the govt is, will you continue to pay income tax to support its efforts, or not?
What does it matter? The Representatives we send to Washington, for the these reasons we're sending them there, turn out to be closet left-wing Regressive Progladytes who, through their actions, show they love and admire Obama and only pretended to be Conservative so the "Idiot Rubes" back home would elect them.
I too, am tired. Even our local Republican town committee is full of wishy-washy, limp wristed rinos. They can't band together to oppose the most ridiculous gun bill.
I would say let them have it but what do I tell my sons in five years when there are soviet style marches in the streets of D.C.?
How do I look them in the eye and say, "I tried!"?
Indeed. They system will not walk away from you, no matter what you do. Good walk down memory lane here, but the conclusion is that no one will be ever left to mind their own life again:http://www.fredoneverything.net/Guns.shtml
I relate. Once one realizes that spiritual warfare is taking place, it begins to make more sense. May God bless you.
I think following the example of Christ is the right thing to do. Peter was willing to take on the Roman Army and Jesus stopped him. If He had not stopped him, I don't think Peter would have been around to be the rock Jesus needed him to be.
As for what do you tell your grandkids, tell them to ask their parents what happened. If we're around to tell them anything.
Then why are you even posting here? Your very presence here demonstrates that you don't even believe everything you say. Think about it.
Yeah. You just have to keep promoting these totally unprincipled sleazebags because they say the right things for a few months, long enough to get themselves elected to a position where you and I do not matter any more. As a representative or governor or senator his future is paved with satin by the money thrown at him in his first term and he does not have to rely on even being re-elected for that Easy Street address, though it would be nice. He does what he has to do to get elected and then does what he has to do to get himself financially insulated. So far, our Tea Party heroes have more often than not, proven to be plain old generic politicians. I cheer when a Cruz stands up for principle but that is just today. How many days can/will he keep that up when he is denying himself Ease and access to fashionable cocktail parties? I have no faith in any of them.
You can pick and choose scriptures to prove anything you want. The fact remains, at the time Christ stopped Peter and the sword...it was a key moment in Christ fulfilling all that He was sent to do.
God used violence often - and he sent us all 66 books to review. Paul used sarcasm, logic and debated very passionately in the years after the incident you cherry picked. If God has called you to do nothing politically (and that may indeed be the case) - please don't assume we all have that same following. Such would be to totally IGNORE why God used "the body" as His analogy.
They will look you in the eye and ask why didn't you get out when you still could?
Your description of the political career ladder is more or less accurate, but if you are indicating that the only two choices are "more of the same" or "nothing" - then I am not participating in your limitations.
I'll answer as if you were asking me those questions. I get hung up on all this stuff and wring my hands over what's going to happen. I think, however, the answer is to trust God and get close to Him.
He was the one who gave us this glorious nation to begin with. He stirred the hearts of godly men to fight for what we have. He can do it again, but only if we're close to Him. There is a practical definition for this. Reading His word and talking to Him. Read Philippians 4 (KJV because I doubt the other version's credibility because they were translated in the age of Postmodernism and utilize dynamic equivalence).
CEW: "You can walk away from the system, but the system will not walk away from you."
That sums it up. I understand the poster's sentiments, but the left won't leave us alone. They mean to control our children, our property, and even our bodies.
Really, the only way to "let them have it all", ie, to fully experience the consequences of their ideology,
is secession. And that would mean war, because there's no way they'd just let us get out from under their thumb.
Keep fighting the good fight. Don't compromise your principles. Rest assured that in the end we will be victorious. Keep it in perspective and remember that THIS is not our home.
I agree with everything you said, except, it does NOT answer the question. The question of a personal relationship to God is NOT the same question as what we are called to do as individuals related to the destruction of the nation. My take on this vanity post is that the author is substituting those two concepts.
You can have a personal relationship with God in slavery, but you cannot serve God if a bureaucrat owns all of your property and therefore owns YOU.
If the founding fathers were here to listen to this conversation, would they tell us that what is needed is for us to stand up and say, "If these current leaders will not lead, then it is up to us to run against them, win, and lead in the manner we claim to want?"
We cannot change things with the current "leadership". They all have to go.
That means some 600 new faces are going to have to accept the call to serve their country in an active way, even if it is a burden we do not want.
"get out"? - Get out and go . . where? . . This is it.
I'm of a similar sentiment, in that I simply don't trust any politician anymore. Promises are made and just as easily, they're broken. These people were elected to carry out a particular mandate of standing in the gap for us against the marauding hordes of Obama's regime. They'd been entrusted with standing firm and not meekly bargaining away every issue — fiscal or social — that comes to the fore.
Prior to the 6 Nov election, I had hopes this country truly saw the error of its 2008 ways and wanted badly to self-correct, but that correction never came. Instead, America doubled-down on the rampant waste, overregulation and disastrous social engineering policies progressives have salivated over for generations.
I no longer understand this country, other than the fact the traditional values that made her great are rapidly fading and giving way to unmitigated evil.
All that I seem to be able to gather from all this is the Lord has lifted His protective hand from America, and many deep and difficult tribulations lie on the horizon.
I was simply pointing out what happened when the soldiers came. As for Christ using violence, I can't remember any examples. In fact the only time I remember Jesus losing His temper was when he threw the moneychangers out of the Temple. Then again, I'm not a Bible scholar. I just try to focus on the words written in red.
As for fulfilling the prophecy, and for my soul's sake I'm glad it was fulfilled, for all I know obama's destruction of America may be fulfillment of prophecy. If that's the case, I sure don't want to get in His way.
During the Obamacare debate I made phone calls and wrote letters. What happened? Eighty percent of the country did not want it - we were ignored and it got crammed down our throats. CJ Roberts turns against the right and says it is Constitutional. The Repub govs we thought would stop it are now accepting the money.
The system is broke and I think beyond repair. I am stocking up and hunkering down. The system will collapse - can you say Atlas Shrugged - and there will be hell to pay all over and everyone will pay it. Severe times are ahead and we will all suffer. I will suffer knowing Christ is my Lord and Savior.
It is a difficult issue because the implications are huge. The phrase that comes to mind is "all or nothing". Are we all in or all out? Are we going to fully trust Him? I don't know how to explain it. I think we lose focus on what He's called us to when we grind our teeth over politics.
If we put our focus on Him, He does the work through us. Instead of turning over every rock to find all the commies, we read God's word, pray to Him, he then stirs out hearts to win souls and disciple people, commies end up getting saved and on board with the good guys.
The problem in America is spiritual, not political. The spiritual problem begins with God's people, God's people are called to be Christ-like, the only way to be like Him is to know Him, the only way to know Him is through His word.
As someone among many millions who still love freedom, I don't think it's a stretch to think that my last breath will be spent squeezing off rounds defending my family. I just hope it's quick.
I believe that in these times, now that the normalcy bias has clearly been shattered, the focus of many patriot groups has turned to prepping. We should think of prepping in the physical, psychological, and Christian senses. Sure, much of the focus of these groups are still devoted to state and local issues, but I believe that the major utility of devoting time to state and local issues is to better preserve islands of liberty in a national environment of the inevitable decline.
I'm not saying that we just sit around and read God's word and talk about His word amongst ourselves, quite voting, and stop holding our servants accountable. If we are close to Him, he'll use us to make things right. Sometimes without the knowing it's happening. We'll just enjoy the benefits of obeying Him.
>>>I would say let them have it but what do I tell my sons in five years when there are soviet style marches in the streets of D.C.?
How do I look them in the eye and say, I tried!?>>>
Trust Jesus.
In the meantime act according to His precepts. In other words, TRY.
I feel your pain but I believe one can walk and chew gum at the same time.
And, soon....our 401k's
As a Christian, I too place His teaching above whatever the worldly people throw our way. And I'm incredibly disappointed with the direction our country has gone, but not really all that surprised. The public treasury is a powerful tool, and the people did not guard it prudently. And now it is being gutted for selfish reasons.
And yet, within my control, I can still try to be the person God wants me to be, and I can raise my children to follow Him as well. Let the politicians grab their rewards now, I'm looking at the long term.
"They will look you in the eye and ask why didn't you get out when you still could?"
Get out of what? Life?
Only concentrate on the words in red huh? Sounds very spiritual. Methinks the Author of the rest of the words would be offended, not to mention the fact that you will be missing a lot of context.
Hunkering down and "shrugging" a la Atlas is a little bit different than the vapor I sensed from the OP. My family has done, and is in the process of continuing, a bit of a shrugging/hunkering process now. And we are followers of Christ. I still believe I am called to speak into the political.
You are talking apples, and I am talking oranges. I have no problem with your apples, but you seem to insist I turn my oranges into apples. Like you said, "He stirred the hearts of Godly men to fight" - that's what I'm talking about. You assume He has not done that because He has not stirred your heart to do so. Think about what you just wrote.
You may be right. I've thought the same thing, and also thought that my last breath will be on another continent as well.
I understand why some are weary that their words are not heeded. We've had plenty of warnings since the 2008 election, and as far as I can see, it's only getting worse. That's why I admire Sarah Palin so much-she has been beaten down at every turn, and vilified more than anyone I can remember, and yet, she always seems to have a strong spirit and something positive to say. That she remains so strong is proof to me that God has not abandoned us, and those who trudge on are on the right path.
In a purely political sense, there is reason to hope that this can be turned around. Of course, there is reason to believe the opposite as well, but since this entire thread assumes that, I'll focus on why it might not be over.
The only election to go the wrong way since 2008 is the 2012 election. And as awful as that way, every election of consequence went against the liberals starting with a Georgia run off three weeks after 2008 election and ending with Wisconsin's recall. The only way the liberals win now is through a cult of personality. That cult is done for as of the next election.
Yes, I know, there is evidence it is too late, and that may be the case. And yes, I know, politics can not save us. I get all that. All I'm saying is that while politics won't save us, it damned sure can doom us.
Give to Caesar what is Caesor's, and give to God what is Gods. Gods image is not on the money so I will pay my taxes. But I will give glory to God, not to the government.
He's certainly not called us to nihilism, which is what I think many of us are tending to. I'm really not comparing apples and oranges though. What I'm talking about is written much better in chapter 14 of "Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret". Outside of the Bible, that chapter has influenced my thinking more than anything else.
It's better read but here's a reading of it on youtube.
What do you want - an armed insurection? I am not ready for that and neither are many others. When the system collapses, we will see how it shakes out.
Too late.
USA is owned lock stock and barrel since FDR and the 1930s.
No one can argue it is not a socialist neo-marxist country.
I am so sorry I missed that one. Hopefully I can remember to snag it from his website and listen later today.
That's great, but yes, it is indeed apples.
My wife is 8 thousand miles away now, working on her "apples"
My book is being uplodated today as ebook and will be avail by hard copy in time for CPAC. These are my "oranges." www.TokyoRove.com
And we are liquidating our real estate and other stuff to a degree, contemplating a move to more red states or over seas. Call that our "fruit salad."
What you posted is great, but make no mistake, it is apples.
Thanks for posting this. I dearly needed it. Have you read "Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret"? Read Chapter 14.
Or you can listen:
Not it's not. You should move to Oklahoma. Honestly, Texas is probably better.
Excellent essay by Fred Reed.
It's too bad his writings are not welcomed here on FR (try to post one of his pieces as a "standalone thread" and see what happens)...
Is it time to "shoot the bastards" yet?

Pre Work out works for him...
Reviewer2455487님께서 Dec 22, 2014 에 작성하셨습니다.
My husband and I have been working out for the past 1.5 months and although the Extreme Edge Pre Workout works great for my husband - giving him the energy he needs to crank it up and put in an extreme workout at 4AM, I am allergic to caffeine, so I don't use a pre-workout. If I could, I would be all over this product too. I use the Extreme Edge Post workout which is proving to bring maximum results to my new body sculpting figure. I love how the ingredients are not chemicals, but all natural too.
Very good product

While I don't expect to crush this drupal site for now, I might not update the content anymore.
Instead, the new Official Site can be found on the main freakywaves.com part under the top menu under Vincent at the extreme right :

Georg Gräwe Quintett – New Movements - 1978 – Destination-Out
Untamed wildness by 20 years old pianist Georg Gräwe on this early effort that grabs me by the throat and the guts, unlike most jazz heard in my life of a music composer who have a tendency to end up jazzy more than actually listen to any variation of jazz music. It is true that my ears do not always know what to do with the kind of energy and vibe the top musicians of the genre have to offer. As an almost no-improviser who have lived away from musicians for so long, I can still only guess how music works for them.
Pat Muchmore – The Music of Pat Muchmore - 2010 – Anti-Social Music
Sometimes when I discover an obscurity that I love, I get a little too excited about it, yet I always figure out why I do so. It is remarkable how you can always trace the source of your excitement for anything and once the true sources have been identified, you might not lose interest for your subject of excitement, but at least you can relax about it more easily.
I am always looking for a certain new feeling as a listener and music composer. Even if a musician or songwriter is better than most at what he does, if this feeling is not there, I will never get excited about him. Poetry of sound is my fascination, not professional musicians superiority over others. It is remarkable to me how many great professional musicians have about zero ear for poetry of sound. And it is not something you can learn from somebody else either. You have to figure it out by yourself, it is to me the talent of solitude.
