scientific speculations part III: the milky way
Essay by: brucek
Status: Finished
Genre: Other
Imagine cutting a golf ball in half and placing the halves on the top and bottom of a dinner plate. Then, if you can imagine the plate being made up of spiraling arms of dust, you would have a close approximation of what our galaxy looks like. What most people don't realize is actually where our solar system is located within the Milky Way. Unfortunately, according to the astronomers who make a living figuring things like this out, it is in one of the spiral arms, far out near the edge of the galaxy, where the stars are thinly spaced and quite far apart. In other words, we're way out in the middle of nowhere. Only a small handful of stars are less than ten light years away from Earth, with the closest being Alpha Centauri, which is four light years. Yes folks, it takes light, which is incredibly, unbelievably fast, four whole years to travel from Alpha Centauri to the Earth.
Okay, so let's play a little bit with our imagination. Let's suppose that in the future, mankind were to invent a new type of propulsion that could send a space ship twenty times faster than any man made object has ever gone before. That space ship, my friends, would still not be going anywhere close to even one one hundredth of the speed of light. That gives you some idea of how fast light travels. But let's give mankind the benefit of the doubt, and assume that somehow he achieved the unbelievable speed of one one hundredth of the speed of light. That would mean that instead of four years to get to Alpha Centauri, it would take four hundred years. And yes, I have heard of suspended animation, but that is more in the realm of science fiction, not actual science. A four hundred year journey, in my opinion, would take many generations. I can only think of two reasons for a journey of this magnitude, either exploration or colonization. A journey of exploration, however, infers that the discoveries and knowledge would be brought back to Earth. But can anyone imagine such expense and effort being expended when the benefits wouldn't be arriving for over eight hundred years? I know I would have a hard time believing it.
The other possibility would be colonization. In this imaginary journey, remember, we are traveling to Alpha Centauri. With the aid of the Hubble Space telescope, scientists have been able to determine that quite a number of stars in our galaxy have gas giant planets orbiting them, due to a visible wobble of the star. Alpha Centauri is one of those wobbling stars. However, the wobble only confirms the existence of a gas giant planet, and it would still be unknown whether a rocky planet capable of being colonized exists.
The other limiting factor of colonization is the sheer magnitude of the undertaking. The size of the gene pool would need to be large enough for a necessary amount of diversity in the colonists, and though I'm certainly not an expert in this field, possibly somewhere in the neighborhood of a thousand people may be needed. How could a thousand people be fed for four hundred years on a space ship? And how much equipment and supplies would they need to take along to set up the colony when they arrive? Would any nation, or group of nations, ever consider such an undertaking when it wouldn't even be known whether there would be a planet hospitable to colonization?
Due to the immense distances between stars in this part of the galaxy, I think it is safe to say that our species will not be space travelers. Perhaps, if we had been lucky enough to have our solar system located in the much denser, central hub of the galaxy, we would be able to visit our neighboring stars, and, in turn, be visited by them. Perhaps, in that part of the galaxy, we would be able to gain new technologies and knowledge from a whole network of civilizations, but, then again, perhaps we would end up being invaded and conquered. We will never know, because the distances in our part of the galaxy are too great. We were lucky that we were the right distance from the sun for life to evolve. We were lucky that the Eurasian continent was oriented east-west so that our western civilization could develop. But our luck ran out when it came to our location in the galaxy.
Mankind is on his own, and whether we continue to survive as a species will depend on whether we can find a balance between the Earth's resources, and our exploitation of them. In my opinion, it will depend on whether we can find that balance before we end up destroying ourselves. This is the only home we will ever have. The choice is up to us.

Bruce, it boggles the mind how far away other stars are. I think my frequent space-travel card isn't going to help much!
I knew the distance was vast, but... seriously? With the fastest man-made vehicle today, it would take 8000 years to get to Alpha Centauri?
I like your way of thinking! It's both interesting and engaging to read. And you have so many good points that I can't really pick out one or two things that I liked particularly much... I guess it's just your way of presenting your ideas that fascinate me the most...
I like all the questions you ask.
And I do think that we should take care of what we are resposible for before venturing further...
Even if the dream happened...would we still repeat our same mistakes?
Good read,
yep, that's the other thing. if mankind were to somehow miraculously reach another habitable planet, with their track record of exploitation and aggression, would we really be able to trust them to respect the life that they might find? lord i hope so, but i just don't know. so much motivation is based on only one thing, money. hopefully mankind grows up a little bit first. thanks for reading this. different for me, but something that i've thought about a lot.
Finally got around to reading your three part series. I liked all of it. You and I share a mutual interest and a similar way of thinking.

At a recent talk before the National Press Club, General David Petraeus, said it was impossible to define "victory" on the basis of how many of the enemy was killed in a fight. He argued the fight against the Taliban was going 'mildly positive" but refused to be pinned down on whether there is need for more troops in Afghanistan. A major issue raised at this discussion was how to deal with troops who are on multiple deployment and are fatigued, but at the same time, they must be alert and ready to fight despite exhaustion.
It is legitimate to ask how does one define "victory in Afghanistan? We just sent 20,000 more soldiers to Afghanistan but no one cane readily define when we know if this thing called "victory" has ever happened. Is there something wrong with this approach?

This is a great design curve glass deli case. We purchased 4 of these for our new location. We have the exact same deli cases in our first location and have had them for 6 years. We are very happy with elite restaurant equipment. They have done a nice job and we have built a good relationship. Hope to need more deli cases soon.

Four kittens pull 'break-in'
FORT ANN, N.Y. (AP) — A litter of kittens has found a cozy home in the least cozy of places — a maximum-security prison in upstate New York.
Four kittens found their way into the basement of the Great Meadow Correctional Facility in Fort Ann a few months ago. The family of feral felines has been cared for by inmates and prison staff. The cats live in a large cage built by an inmate. Another inmate takes care of the cats on weekends when many prison employees are off.
Prison officials said they're hoping to find the kittens homes among the staff.

Patients' share of scan costs still uncertain
Page Tools
Patients may have to pay more for magnetic resonance imaging scans despite a promise from the Federal Government that it has an agreement from the industry not to increase fees.
The Health Minister, Tony Abbott, said last week that the Government would offset the cost of 23 new Medicare-eligible public and private MRI machines by cutting the Medicare rebate for the scans from $415 to $350.
Publicly funded scans cost an average of $518 each but Mr Abbott said out-of-pocket costs for patients would not jump from $103 to $168 because he had secured an agreement with the operators of MRI scans that they would absorb the cost.
Despite Mr Abbott's consultation with the industry's peak body before the announcement, an executive of one of the largest private MRI operators claimed the Government had slashed the rebate arbitrarily and that no such deal had been made with industry members.
Another large operator refused to comment.
Scans made by the multi-million-dollar machines help to diagnose a range of cancers and soft-tissue conditions, but access to the machines has been limited.
The industry executive said the price of scans might come down with competition. There are 96 machines in Australia, including the 23 new ones Mr Abbott announced last week.
The Opposition Leader, Mark Latham, said yesterday that under a Labor government, hospitals at Concord, Gosford and Wollongong would be licensed to provide Medicare-funded MRI scans.
Mr Latham and the NSW Health Minister, Morris Iemma, portrayed the plan - which would include another seven licences for Medicare-funded MRIs to be distributed between Queensland, Victoria and South Australia - as the first evidence of the co-operative approach that would exist if Labor held power federally and in all states and territories.
"It is the first instalment, if you like, of the plan we outlined [on Thursday] where federal and state Labor can work together to ensure that we get the efficiency gains in health, we get a broader spread of services, we get more public funding and resourcing into our public hospitals, in particular," Mr Latham said.
A spokesman for Labor's health spokeswoman, Julia Gillard, said a Labor government would retain Mr Abbott's new, reduced Medicare scheduled fee of $350.
The new machines and licences flagged by Mr Abbott would include those in public and private hands, while the 10 announced yesterday by Mr Latham are for public hospitals only.
Ms Gillard's spokesman said Labor would accept applications for licences from private providers and would retain three new machines announced for children's hospitals.
The provision of MRI machines has been politically charged since the so-called "scan scam" in 2000, when radiologists were accused of exploiting insider knowledge of a government plan to fund MRI technology by purchasing new machines.
The Royal Australian College of Radiologists refused to comment on the scheme yesterday, as did the Central Sydney Area Health Service, which is responsible for Concord Hospital.

Salmon Creek flowed full, but still quite clear, despite the recent rain. It wasn't raining this day, though. Instead, the occasional precipitation was in the form of snow, horizontal snow in fact, struggling with a strong wind to reach the ground. It was quite a change from the 80-degree temperatures of two days before.
I cast a brown Rooster Tail spinner into the pool, in a small spot between two uprooted hemlocks that lay across the stream. A nice brook trout rose up from the greenish depths and took a tentative nip at the lure, just enough to transmit a slight tap, but not sufficient to sting the fish.
A half-dozen casts later it — or a twin to the first fish — again did the same thing. I quickly nipped off the spinner, tied on a No. 12 bait hook, squeezed on a couple BB-size split shot and dressed the hook with a red worm. The brookie ate the worm on the first cast, resulting in a solid hookup.
The Salmon Creek visit was just one component of a weekend trip my friend Art Hamley and I made to a handful of trout streams in northern Clarion and Forest counties. The objective of the excursion was to not only fish for stocked and wild trout, but also to do a little scouting for this fall's grouse and woodcock hunts. The thump of a grouse drumming from the adjacent hillside — which we experienced several times — is always a welcome sound, proof positive of brood stock that will hopefully experience a successful upcoming breeding season. The discovery of streamside alder thickets while fishing can lead to productive sport on woodcock come autumn.
Salmon Creek begins its journey to join Tionesta Creek at the outflow of Beaver Meadows Lake, north of Marienville. Trout stocking begins a few miles below the lake. The vast majority of the creek flows through the Allegheny National Forest. Stocking continues to Salmon's junction with the Tionesta near Kelletville. Stockings consist primarily of brook trout, though browns are slated to be included in a late-May planting.
Several of Salmon Creek's tributaries support populations of native brook trout. This includes Little Salmon Creek, The Branch, Two Mile Run, Four Mile Run, as well as at least one unnamed tributary.
My favorite portion of Salmon Creek is the lower half, from where it flows under Forest Service Road 145 (aka Salmon Creek Road) to its mouth. This entails roughly nine miles of stream. While the stream is certainly popular with anglers, there's plenty of room to move around. It's about 15 feet wide at the bridge, quickly picking up volume and width as feeder streams add to the flow, Little Salmon Creek in particular. It averages 25 to 30 feet wide in the areas we fished, about four miles upstream of the mouth. It's a fairly easy creek to wade, the streambed not being particularly slick.
Salmon Creek has a moderate level of gradient. While riffles are common, it's not a whitewater torrent. There are pools and runs that provide excellent holding water; undercut banks and laydown trees are common. The creek valley is relatively open, and while there are areas of brush and alders, much of the valley is enshrouded in hardwoods and hemlocks. Salmon Creek Road runs parallel to the stream on its east side along this entire reach, making access relatively easy. Still, there are places where the road rises above the streambed; anglers seeking seclusion can often find it by working waters along these stretches.
Primitive camping is permitted within most of the Allegheny National Forest and is a popular activity along Salmon Creek, one typically combined with fishing. Salmon Creek was stocked preseason and will be stocked in-season once in April and May.

: wits end with second day hair
i am finding it so hard to get it, i never leave the house thinking my hair looks good on the second day, and always put it up which doesn't look great in my opinion. i sleep on a silk pillowcase, and i braid it, i don't think my hair likes pinapling. so in the morning, i take it down, wet it a bit, and put mousse in but i find my curls are stringy and frizzy, not clumped like they were the day before, it's so frustrating, i just want a solution, please help


text: I recently bought a used springfield emp 9mm. The gun cycled every round I shot through it without a problem. I was however having issues with the pistol going into battery when loading a new mag. Luckily for me the gun shop I purchased from has great customer service and had their gunsmith look at it. It turns out the ejector needed to be tuned. The ejector was actually coming into contact with the round at the top of the magazine when it was inserted. this contact was causing extra friction and preventing the slide from going into battery. The ejector was also not allowing me to eject live rounds as they would get hung up in the gun. After I got the gun back from the gunsmith I shot 100 rounds of WWB 115gr and Remington UMC 115gr flawlessly as well as some speer gold dots.

Learn what's trending across POPSUGAR. View in slideshow I don't know about you, but my kids keep a running wish list of toys they want for every upcoming birthday or holiday. Usually that list is made up of toys they played with at a friend's house and now want for themselves. After two days walking the aisles of the 2014 Toy Fair, I have a wish list for them (and their friends). Out of the thousands of new toys headed to a toy store near you this year, we think these 20 are worth adding to your kids' playrooms. Read on to see which toys made our list! Source: MGA Entertainment Lego Juniors Between Duplos (an introductory line designed for kids 1, 2, and 3 years old) and the traditional bricks (often designed for kids 6+), there has been this cloudy area where Lego-loving kids have foundered. Duplos are too easy and the traditional kits often require so much parental assistance that they aren't fun for the kids. Enter Lego Juniors, a new line created for kids 4+. With slightly chunkier and definitely more modular bricks, the sets have easy-to-follow instructions for the themed kits (think Marvel comics, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and more) and plenty of opened play opportunities for kids who want to build on their own. Photo: Rebecca Gruber DohVinci The crafting craze was a big one, and nobody understood this more than the makers of Play-Doh. The popular molding compound always dried out when left out of the containers, but then it would crumble. Hasbro's new DohVinci takes the dough concept one step further with a new formula that won't crack once it dries. Add that to the cool, glue-gun-like application tool and some fun kits like picture frames and jewelry boxes, and kids will be decorating up a storm. Source: Hasbro Seedling Make Your Own Party Piñata We've loved the Seedling line of creative kits since we first laid eyes on them. They're beautifully packaged and full of fun! The new Make Your Own Party Piñata is every bit as fun as it sounds. The working piñata can even be used as the centerpiece of your party after the kids craft it!

This year, Crayola will make it easier than ever to create those fun designs with its own Mini Meltdown Gift Set. Get ready to melt your way to some very popular holiday gifts.

It's usually just buckets, water cans, shovels, and the occasional waterproof cupcake kit. But Red Rooster's Sand Stamps are about to change that. Available in seven different kits, kids can wear them on their hands or feet to create fun cowboy, animal, or fantasy shapes or collages on the beach. We can't wait to see! Photo: Rebecca Gruber Hot Wheels Super Loop There's little the Hot Wheels team hasn't done with cars and tracks at this point, but the upcoming Hot Wheels Super Loop stands at three feet tall and has a crash-inducer section so kids can introduce another car just in time for it to crash — which sounds like the perfect Hot Wheels set if we ever heard of one. Photo: Rebecca Gruber Mooshka Fairytale Dolls In a world of tarted-up dolls, the Mooshka line is one we can definitely get behind. The soft, sweet dolls celebrate the power of friendship, and their glittery skirts and lace crowns are just too cute to pass up. Princess Palia, Ballerina Casia, Mermaid Sonia, and Fairy Ina all join the line this year, and we can't wait to get them in little girls' arms.

The latest addition to its line, this Hand Sign Alphabet, features impressed uppercase and lowercase letters and corresponding American hand sign language pictures.

Melissa & Doug's new Snacks and Sweets Food Cart does just that — one side features a hot dogs menu, and it can be reversed to become an ice cream cart. It's perfect for Summer roadside stands!

The retro styling and classic seat make it a winner with kids and parents alike.

The perfect sand for dirt-phobes, this sand sticks together, making it mess-free and perfect for indoor use.

Best of all — because it's Kinetic Sand, you can do it over and over again!

Political Talk Show Moves Online Following Radio Station Format Change
Published June 4th, 2013
Loading Video...
ALACHUA - After losing their radio show to format changes, the hosts of the "Talk of the Town" program are hoping that radio's loss...is the Internet's gain.
Jake Fuller and Ward Scott of the nearly four-year-old "Talk of the Town" radio program were forced off the air last week after WBXY-FM ditched its news and talk programs in favor of an electronic dance music format.
Scott says the old news-talk format provided the community with an outlet through which residents could discuss local political issues, something that's becoming less available in this age of syndication.
In an effort to fill the void left by the format change, the "Talk of the Town" hosts, along with help from political consulting firm Ozean Media, decided to keep the show going, this time choosing to stream online.
The inaugural online broadcast on Monday had so many listeners that the show's web server actually crashed within the first few minutes after the program went live.
If interested in listening online, the show streams live every weekday from this website: http://www.alachuatalks.com/

About Dr. Michael Youssef
Even before he was born, it was evident that God had a vision for
Michael Amerhom Youssef
. His mother was in poor health at the time she became pregnant with Michael, and because her life would be jeopardized by the birth, the doctor recommended terminating the pregnancy. An abortion procedure was scheduled. But God intervened, and sent the family pastor to reassure them the night before the procedure was to take place that God was involved in this pregnancy, not to be afraid, and that this child would be "born to serve the Lord." Michael's parents accepted the pastor's message as a message from God and obeyed. His mother gave birth, and lived to see him surrender his life to the Lord in 1964 at age sixteen.
Believing that God was calling him out of Egypt, Michael sought an exit visa at a time when no university student was permitted to hold a passport or leave the country. God intervened again, and miraculously provided approval of his application. He immigrated to Australia, where he studied at Moore Theological College in Sydney, was ordained as a minister, and met and married his wife, Elizabeth.
The Youssef's came to America in 1977, and in 1978 Michael received a master's degree in theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in California. He later earned a doctorate in social anthropology from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Michael served for nearly ten years with the Haggai Institute, traveling around the world more than 32 times, teaching courses in evangelism and church leadership to church leaders. He rose to the position of Managing Director at the age of 31. The family settled in Atlanta, and in 1984, Michael became a United States citizen, fulfilling a dream he had held for many years.
He founded The Church of The Apostles in 1987 with fewer than 40 adults with the mission to "Equip the Saints and Seek the Lost." The church has since grown to a congregation of over 3000. This church on a hill was the launching pad for
Leading the Way
's international ministry. While heard by millions at home and abroad, behind every message preached over the airwaves is a pastor's heart, longing to feed and care for people. Clearly God has uniquely equipped Dr. Youssef to speak to a worldwide audience. The path he has walked has given him a thorough cross-cultural understanding and a firm grasp of Scripture. He preaches, teaches and exhorts with a straightforward and uncompromising delivery, based on the authority of the inspired, infallible Word of God. His unique, firsthand understanding of the Holy Land, its history and culture, brings the Bible to life for listeners.
Leading The Way
claims Dr. Youssef as the ministry's number one volunteer. He receives no compensation for his time, nor does he receive royalties from the sale of any of the resource materials he produces and authors.
God called Dr. Youssef, even before birth, and is using
Leading The Way
to reach millions of lost souls, equip the saints, and build up His church worldwide.

I'd go back and read Shine's first suggestion about having some one do it for you. I understand that you are on a budget like everyone else, but he makes good sense. I have a pickup that I bought the equipment and blasted myself. After I did it, i learned that I could have had it done for less than I had in equipment and supplies alone. Not to mention unless you have a really good (read expensive) compressor, it will take you a ton of time, as blasters eat a ton of air. I would call someone in your area that specializes in blasting. You might be surprised at how little it costs when you look at it in the big picture. You may also be surprised at the type of media they recommend using.
I understand that it may be more cost effective to take it to a shop. the problem is I am on a budget jsut like everyone else. i had it painted twice now by a place in California. The first place I should have known better. The second was the same company but a different loccation. The guy was huge into classic cars and was dying to paint it. Showed me all sorts of pics of cars he has done. looked really good. Not the typical paint job that comapany does. To include was able to tell me almost everything there is to know about my car without even looking into it. So He inpressed me. I dropped it off with a rear spoiler and all the trim removed bumpers and all. Picked it up a couple days later and looked like crap. Paint was bubbled up and you could see tons of flaws in it. He was all chipper to show it to me. Then the spoiler. LOL I was looking at it and looked good until I turned it over and they didnt even shoot the underside of it. It is the Low Profile type that hangs off the trunk lid when you open it. It was still the original color and the rest of the car was blue. So he kept it for another 2 days. Redid the car again. Came back looking jsut like it did before but bubbles in differnt areas. I was pissed. Then he tells me " Hey man. You are expecting a proffessional paint job!" WEll no **** Sherlock. THis is a proffessional paint shop. So I said forget it and drove off. SOoo now I just want to attempt it on my own. Cant be any worse then what I got for $3000.
I have a Industrial air compressor in my shop. It is used for Light Armored Vehicles. So I Know I dont have an issue with that. Just a matter of knowing how to strip the paint off to the metal. i know I will be redoing any body issues with Bondo. Seeing how I dont have the money for new fenders and such. But I figure I have roughly a year before I move again for the Marine Corps so that should give me Enough time to Strip it and paint it with Body work. So thank you for the advice everyone. I am definatley looking forward to tackling this. i may jsut cheat and pay to have it blasted then go from there HAHA
A lot of good advise here but the best way that I have found to strip a car was to take it out to dinner and buy it a few drinks.
lol ,Those strippers can get expensive.
HAHAHAHA I think I put one thru college.
LOL RAYFIN. Contributing to society. I have 3 girls. I think one of them will be contributing at some point.
One word of warning ......If you do decide to call in a professional stripper you might want to mention the camero..... before Candy and Bambie show up at the door and your wife answears....
Or worse.... YOU open the door and some pretty boy is standing there..asking if your the one who hired the stripper...

By far the best method is to use a good 8" grinder and 80 grit disc. Since you are on a budget you could buy the grinder polisher from HF. But I invested in a good varible speed Makita grinder/polisher and I'm glad I did. It will serve you well for both paint removal and cut and buff.
80 grit makes short work of even multiple paint jobs and won't tear up the metal underneath like a 36 grit will. It's quick and pretty easy as well.
how are you going to do the jambs? dont think a grinder is going to help there.
On the jams I'll usually use some spray on paint remover and then a wire cup on my drill. Takes a few passes, but soon you're down to bare metal. Then it's time for hand sanding. Depending on the jam design I might use a DA to get some of it if it has enough flat area to make it worth while.
I was expecting to have to sand it off. i watched a few videos on chem paint stripper. looks messy as all hell. And to be honest. It jsut seems like a pain in the rear. The door jams are rather flat so I think it will be some what easy to grind them down with a grinder. I have a new design rubber cup grinder that I used under the hood work great and didnt scare up the metal at all. took the paintoff in seconds. they are a little more costly but in the end I think a good investment. It get them from work so i will have to find a civilian company to get them from. i am thinking the hardest part to get to will be the trunk and rear tail lights. That I might use chem stripper. not a large area but something I can get into the small areas. but i will def give the 80 grit a shot. I know there is some bondo underneath. I can see the flaws in certain locations. So I am sure this will be entertaining. Now another question. the hood scoop that is on the hood was put on before I bought it. Is there a good way to remove it. it was riveted on. you can see under the hood. but there is also bondo on top. i was thinking about buying a new one to put on instead of buying a entire hood with a scoop. Although I am sure that would be the prefered route to go.
all you need is a scotchpad thing, I don't know the proper name for it but, it's like a rigid scotch pad , about 4'' in dia, put it on a air powered cutoff tool amd I promise it will peel the paint off as fast as you can more the tool, with no damage to the metal ! You will goe thru a few pads , but it's worth it ! Use a cutoff tool, cause it has more power than a die grinder, also slower so you build up any heat. you may have to replace the center arber that comes with the pad, convert it fit you cutoff tool. that's no problem either. I think it will take 1 or 2 pads to do a fender, I used to pick up a couple pads when ever I found them . I guarrantee it !
PM answer; the pads only cost about $4.00 and some hardware stores have them, Walmart sometimes and Lowes and Home Depot always do.
I stumbled on Benchmark Abrasives on ebay a while back. Good deals on these pads and flapper disks. I think they have a regular website as well. I bought some as a trial and will likely reorder soon.

I was interested too but almost 8 hrs later with no response seems a little sketchy or at the least unmotivated to actually sell his product which could in return mean a sketchy product or customer service. And I've dealt with too much of that lately.

Dear Friends,
As I write this note, I am watching the "Newshour" and the reports about Hurricane Katrina.For the people of Kobe, it reminds us of the devastation of the earthquake in 1995.Our hearts are moved with compassion.We join you in prayer for these who have lost so much.
Here school started today for the children of Japan.It isn't the beginning of a new school year that is in April, but back to school after the summer break. For the Nishi Okamoto Christ Church it was a busy summer.
We had guests from our sister church, Seattle Japanese Baptist Church, Rev. and Mrs. Aita.They brought greetings, a message and pictures of their church, and we sent pictures and greetings home with them.
We had a seminary student with us for 2 weeks of field work.Mr. Yoshihiro Yamabayashi.He got here just in time for our area Jr. - Sr. high camp.This year we sent 4 youth from our church.Our daughters, Ami (grade 11) and Alisen (grade 7), and Anna Banno (grade 7) and Hiroshi Ooka (grade 8).Tomoko and Associate Pastor Takahashi, were part of the camp staff, along with 2 other young ladies from the church.When I went to pick them up at the end of camp, one of the pastors who attended the camp came to me and said, "The girls from Nishi Okamoto were really special, you must be happy."Of course I was happy to hear that kind of report.I greeted one of the college students who was helping at the camp, and said, "How was camp?"She looked at me rather seriously and said, "The girls from Nishi Okamoto Church are so special!"I said, "Thank you, I think so too."What a blessing to be getting those kinds of greetings, even if I wasn't exactly sure what was behind them.
But Tomoko reminded me that Alisen shared her testimony at camp.Often they ask one of the high school students or college helpers to share, but since Alisen was baptized last Easter they asked her.Ami and Miss Riyo Mito, one of our young adults who studies dance, did a dance during one of the worship times.And Anna is simply one of the most caring, compassionate and encouraging young people you could meet.Maybe what was said to me had nothing to do with this, but was simply the Holy Spirit touching lives and giving me a word of encouragement.But it reminded me that our efforts to do ministry with children and young people are special.We may not even always be aware of how lives are being touched and how people are growing, but the Lord is faithful.
I should add that while Tomoko and the girls were at camp, Andy, our 5th grader, and I spent one day at the water slides.Just watching him have fun, made it a special day for me.
- Today our prayers are with the people devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
- Today, we give thanks for your prayer for our family.
- We give thanks for our partnership with you.
- We ask for prayers for the children and youth of Nishi Okamoto Christ Church.
- We ask for prayers for the seminary students of the Japan Baptist Union.
Grace and Peace,
John and Tomoko Armagost

DECC Company Celebrates 50 Years
Watch A Video On Coating Applicator DECC, Which Celebrates 50 Years of Solving Problems for Their Customers.
The DECC Company, a coating applicator based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is celebrating their 50-year anniversary in 2014. DECC is poised to post the highest earnings in their company's history this year, as well.
"Knowing that it is an accomplishment for a small business to make it even a decade these days, I couldn't be more proud of reaching this milestone as a company," says Fred Mellema, DECC's President and second generation owner of the family run operation.
Helped by Michigan's manufacturing resurgence, DECC is poised to top the $9 million mark for the first time this year. As a result, DECC has been able to add over 30 jobs during the past three years.
Mellema credits three things for DECC's success: company culture, an investment in systems, and valuing relationships. A culture of empowerment and independence has allowed DECC to grow from within, with many higher level positions currently being held by employees who have climbed the ranks. Also, when most companies were looking to cut costs in 2008, Mellema invested in a $400,000 software system that has allowed DECC to be first in class – many of their largest customers have been acquired from competitors who could not meet the delivery or quality standards that DECC could. Lastly, DECC operates by not trying to be everything to everyone – if a customer could save money by utilizing a different application option, DECC will point them in that direction. "A relationship is more valuable when a current or potential customer trusts you as a resource, not solely as a supplier," says Mellema.
The most notable relationship for Mellema is the one between DECC and Hope Network - a local non-profit that provides employment for adults with developmental disorders, disabilities, or other disadvantages – that began over 40 years ago. DECC staffs a large group of Hope participants daily to rack parts prior to coating. "The Hope participants love earning a paycheck, we love providing the opportunity, and their work is always top notch," says Mellema. "It is definitely a win-win for everyone." While some companies would shy away from such a program, DECC's founders embraced it.
However, bucking the trend is what's contributed to DECC's long term success, so Mellema has continued in that vein. DECC has recently instituted a $10 an hour starting wage and the benefits they provide are exceptional – DECC covers all deductibles and coinsurance, leaving little if any out of pocket medical expenses for employees other than co-pays. Paying up to $3000 a year for secondary education is a perk for any DECC employee, as well. DECC will also be volunteering for Habitat for Humanity in June – any employee willing to participate will receive a full day's salary.
While their first 40 years were good, DECC's last ten have been great. Over the past decade, which happens to be when Mellema claimed ownership, DECC has received numerous manufacturing related awards and made the Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest Growing Private Companies on three separate occasions, the most recent being last year. "Our vision is to be the most sought after coating company in North America and you don't get there by being like everyone else," says Mellema. With their best year in front of them, DECC is positioned well for another half century of success.
Contact DECC through their web site, decc.com, or call 616-588-2850.

Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield's "Amazing Spider-Man" Paris Premiere
Showing off her dark side in the City of Lights, Emma Stone was spotted arriving to "The Amazing Spider-Man" French premiere at Le Grand Rex on Tuesday night (June 19).
The blonde bombshell looked absolutely stunning in a black gown with plunging neckline and embellishments matched with a dark lip as she smiled for the cameras at the Paris locale.
Per the usual, Miss Stone was joined by her on and off-screen boyfriend Andrew Garfield, who looked spiffy in a colorful berry toned suit.
The European appearance comes as Sony Pictures is revving up even more excitement for the film with the release of its seventh TV spot and 13th clip, which gives audiences a taste of Spidey's encounter with the Lizard.
The film is set to open in theaters on July 3 and also stars Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen and Sally Field.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Looking to snap a 5-match losing streak, Campbell hosts Big South foe Gardner-Webb Saturday at 7:00 p.m. in the first meeting between the former Atlantic Sun Conference rivals since the Bulldogs joined the Big South in 2008.
LAST TIME OUT: CAMPBELL (3-5-1, 0-1-0 Big South) led at half-time Wednesday thanks to Jhuvon Francis' 29th-minute goal, but dropped a 2-1 decision to Radford in its Big South opener. Francis slotted home a rebound of Justin Franz' shot off the left post... GARDNER-WEBB (3-5-2, 0-1-0) lost a 2-1 decision in double overtime at Clemson Tuesday. Denzel Clarke equalized for the Bulldogs in the 90th minute, but Clemson's Bryniar Benediktsson scored the winner with 10 seconds left in the second OT period.
THE SERIES: Campbell owns a 6-2-1 edge in the series. In 2006, Gardner-Webb defeated CU in the A-Sun semifinal en route to the Bulldogs' first A-Sun crown and NCAA College Cup appearance. One year later, Campbell downed GWU in the A-Sun 1st round on the way to the '07 A-Sun title and NCAA College Cup berth.
CAMEL NOTES: Jhuvon Francis' first-half strike Wednesday against Radford ended a 343-minute scoreless stretch for the Camels... CU has created chances during its drought, however, holding a 63-44 advantage in shots during the span... Junior midfielder Mitchell Cardenas has played all but 18 minutes (812 of a possible 830) over the first 9 games. Cardenas and Justin Franz are tied for 4th place among Big South leaders with 3 assists each.. Of J.J. Elder's 8 shots on goal, 5 have hit the nets. He is tied for 3rd among Big South goal scoring leaders... Wednesday's game vs. Radford marked Campbell's first Big South regular season contest since a 3-1 victory at UNC Greensboro on Oct. 27, 1993... CU's 5-match losing streak is its first since the 2002 season.
GARDNER-WEBB NOTES: The Bulldogs are in the midst of an 11-match stretch away from home. GWU is 0-4 on opponents' home fields and 2-1-2 at neutral sites... Gardner-Webb defeated #16 VCU 1-0 on Sept. 18 to go 2-0 at the UAB Soccer for a Cure Classic... The Bulldogs dropped a 3-1 decision at #25 Coastal Carolina Sept. 23 in their Big South opener... John Sargent leads the team with 3 goals and is tied for the Big South lead with 2 game-winning strikes.
BACK HOME IN THE BIG SOUTH: After a 17-year tenure in the Atlantic Sun Conference (and claiming four league trophies since 2005), the Camels return to the Big South, of which CU was a charter member from 1984-93... CU has the highest BSC regular season winning percentage of any current member (.736, 51-18-1)... Campbell also owned the best record of all A-Sun members in regular season play from 2005-2010 (36-10-5). In 10 seasons, Campbell won the Big South regular season title five times (1984, 1985, 1988, 1990, 1993), the tournament championship on four occasions (1984, 1985, 1991, 1992) and finished as league tournament runner-up three years (1986, 1989, 1993).
HOME, SWEET HOME: Since the start of the 2005 campaign, Campbell owns a 35-19-2 (.643) record at the Eakes Athletic Complex -- including 3 wins over nationally-ranked teams at the site. CU is still looking for its first home field win this year after a draw with Furman losses to Elon, Davidson and Radford.
NEXT: Campbell hosts Atlantic Coast Conference member North Carolina State Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.

The Pathos of Anthony Weiner
I'm late to the Weinerfest, but perhaps for the reason that I've been distracted by Egypt, Germany, and Serbia in recent months, there's an element to the story that I think deserves a bit more attention. Anthony Weiner is a Congressman. A member (sorry) of Congress. One of 435 of the people's representatives, 535 if you count the more powerful ones, and what has he been doing with himself? How does he spend his most precious and scarce resource, his time? Well, by now you know.
Yes, there's a point to private life. Yes, even a Member of Congress is entitled to one. But even a citizen is entitled to come to a judgment about such a person. And people, the world's in an uproar. The unemployed need attention—not just a vote, not just a speech. There's a mad party in control of Congress. Glaciers are melting and they think that's, well, cool. There are nations near bankruptcy and nuclear weapons. There are three wars and counting. The plutocracy rides high. Rep. Weiner is, in his person, more than one-fifth of one percent of the American Congress. He's on the charts. He gets a hearing. He's reputed to have a brain. And what does he offer his country? Pictures of himself.
Americans are reputed to worship the work ethic, but I'm struck by the number of homes that feature lounge chairs on their front porches. We may not take it so easy, but we think we ought to advertise that we can do precisely that whenever we like. We're a people of conspicuous leisure. Anthony Weiner, house gym, towel, and all, seems to have thought he could win friends (make that "friends') by advertising that he had all the time in the world. Talk about Vanity Fair.
There's an amazing unseriousness about this country. You don't have to be a Puritan to believe that, in a critical time, lives, fortunes, and sacred honor are called for. Initiative is called for. One's best is called for. That's why we elect representatives—to represent the better angels of our nature. No one is required to wear a hair shirt, but preening to strangers, legal or not, properly marital or not, is not what these guys are elected to spend their time doing. Self-display, clothed or unclothed, is not the liberty of which the founders wrote. A political class that includes Anthony Weiner and Newt Gingrich is beyond disgracing. It's committed collective suicide.
"Because public service is exactly that," President Obama said today, "it's a service to the public. And when you get to the point where, because of various personal distractions, you can't serve as effectively as you need to at the time when people are worrying about jobs and their mortgages and paying the bills, then you should probably step back." Good for him.
"A republic, madam, if you can keep it," Benjamin Franklin said to a curious citizen who asked what the Constitutional convention had delivered. It's rather late in the game to suggest that the keepers have ducked behind the bars of the zoo.Return to Top

emblem template
hey so i tried painting (plasti dip) one of my emblems black while it was still on my jeep... turned out to be a total mess and just took them off and cleaned up. Now i want to re paint the emblems while they are off and then throw them back on again. I know everyone loves the way WK's look debadged but im going for something different here.
Anyway, does anyone know of a template i could use when putting back on some of the emblems? Specifically the 4x4 on the tail gate along with the Jeep emblems front and back.
Re: emblem template
yup, exactly ^^
Re: emblem template
thats the easy way of doing it... im looking to keep the same proportions as OEM... sure i can eye ball everything so that it is pretty close, but if there was a template available i would rather use that.
Re: emblem template
yea i know what you are saying
but as long as you make a bottom and top border for your badges...it isn't that bad
i've helped a friend make a template with painter's tape on top and bottom
as well as vertical dividers to the size and spacing between the individual letters
in order to figure out location, we found a jeep at a mall and took some quick measurements :P
Re: emblem template
What was the problem with Plasti dipping them while they were on the car?
Did you try using playing cards for around the edges and just blue tape and patience for the inside of the letters?
Re: emblem template
Re: emblem template
Re: emblem template
from my experience i think the best way to paint a logo black is to tape off the top and sides of the emblem with some blue painters tape and make as many marks as possible as to where it lays on the original placement. Then remove the emblem, paint it and re apply to your car with some 3M double sided tape using the template you made before removal.
If you want to try painting an emblem while its still on to just give it a shot... go for the front Jeep logo on the hood, the angle is nice and easy to manage. OBXJeep has a pretty good thread on here about how to paint your front Jeep logo black.
Good luck :thumbsup:
Re: emblem template
Im not sure if this will work but we will see come warmer weather lol

Submitted to: Canadian Journal of Plant Science
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/2/2008
Publication Date: 10/9/2008
Citation: Robins, J.G., Jensen, K.B. 2008. Genetic Characterization of Fitness Traits in Thickspike Wheatgrass. Canadian Journal of Plant Science. 88:925-927. Interpretive Summary: Thickspike wheatgrass is a drought tolerant, spreading native rangeland grass. It is frequently used for seeding restoration projects on rangelands of the western U.S. Key weaknesses are poor seed production and poor stand establishment. Improving seed production and spreading ability would increase the utility of the species in restoration projects. This study characterized the performance of a group of thickspike wheatgrass lines for seed production, spreading ability, and forage production. Results suggested improvements could be made for seed production and spreading ability but not for forage production.
Technical Abstract: Thickspike wheatgrass (Elymus lanceolatus) is a native, autotetraploid (2N=4X=28), perennial grass characterized by its tolerance to drought and its rhizomatous growth habit. It is a desirable species for reseeding of degraded rangeland in the western U.S., but exhibits poor seed production and establishment ability. Improved seed production and rhizome spread, in conjunction, with forage production would enhance the performance of this species in reseeding efforts. This study included a group of half-sib families developed from the polycross of individuals from the cultivars Bannock and Schwendimar and analyzed their performance across two years at a location near Nephi, UT, U.S. Significant variation and heritability within the population and high transgressive segregants occurred for seed production and rhizome spread, but not for forage production. Additionally, there were no negative correlations between any of the traits. Thus, selection for increased seed production and rhizome spread within this population should prove successful but would not be successful for increased forage production.

Sacramento, CA — The River City Regiment showed their support for the second consecutive year to their local PBS station, KVIE-TV, by working the phone banks for membership pledges during the Drum Corps International broadcast September 14. RCR donated a CD of their 2002 season performances to anyone who made a pledge during the telecast.
Mike Phillips, president of the River City Regiment, joined KVIE staff as on-air talent during the live pledge breaks. Phillips received many complements for his passionate insights and discussions of the personal side of drum corps. He challenged the alumni of past Sacramento corps to show their support for the airing of the DCI Championships. The audience responded with pledges coming from past members of corps like the Freelancers and the Commodores. Even the founder of the Blue Devils, Jerry Seawright, called in a pledge.
"It was great fun sharing my love for this great activity with the viewing audience," Phillips said. "It was nice to hear that many people really enjoyed my commentary."
KVIE was very happy with the results of the DCI pledge segment. Pledges exceeded the previous year's broadcast despite this year's more challenging time slot. The event was a success, and special thanks goes to the members of the Renegades, Blue Devils and the Sacramento Tuba Christmas who volunteered to help with the phone banks.

This Week's Games
Last Week's Results
Ready to Hit the Road: Wednesday's contest against the North Division-leading Hamilton Bulldogs at Van Andel Arena will conclude stretches that have seen the Griffins play 12 of 15 games and 16 of 22 contests within friendly confines. Grand Rapids, which has won five of its last seven at home, will then embark on a season-high six-game road swing that begins on Thursday in Milwaukee. The Griffins have not played consecutive road games since a three-game trip from Nov. 13-17.
Winning Wednesday: The Griffins will try to stretch their winning streak in Wednesday home games to four tomorrow when the Bulldogs invade Van Andel Arena. It's a Winning Wednesday, so all fans who were in attendance for the Griffins' 4-3 win over Toronto on Dec. 22 can redeem their ticket stubs for free tickets to this game. Furthermore, if the Griffins beat Hamilton, each fan in attendance can redeem their ticket stub for a free ticket to the Feb. 16 game against the Bulldogs. Other promotions include Hockey Night, Library Night and the post-game party at Peppino's downtown.
Bodies Wanted: In Saturday's 2-0 loss to Peoria, the Griffins played without the services of five regulars – forwards Jan Mursak and Tomas Tatar in Detroit, and injured defensemen Doug Janik, Brian Lashoff and Brendan Smith – and lost forward Brandon Straub to injury during the game.
Cause for Celebration: On New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, goaltender Joey MacDonald stopped a combined 66-of-68 shots, good for a 0.97 GAA and a 0.971 save percentage. He made a season-high 43 saves in Friday's 2-1 shootout victory against the Marlies.
Ring Out the Year in Style: The capacity crowd of 10,834 that witnessed Friday's thrilling 2-1 shootout win over Toronto marked the Griffins' first New Year's Eve sellout since 1998 and their fourth all time, as well as the 133rd sellout in franchise history. The special edition jerseys worn by the Griffins that night raised $14,450 for GVSU club roller hockey through a post-game auction, with Brendan Smith's jersey garnering the high bid of $1,100.
Alumni Honor Roll: Tomas Tatar, who was recalled from Grand Rapids by Detroit on Friday, made his NHL debut that night in the Red Wings' 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders, forcing the extra session with his first NHL goal at 10:18 of the third period. He logged 12:18 in ice time while becoming the 114th Griffins alumnus to skate in the NHL. Tatar (one goal, plus-one in two games) and NHL alumnus No. 112, Jan Mursak (scoreless in four games), remain with the Red Wings.
Flood of Wins for Rivermen: The Griffins began 2011 in much the same manner that they spent 2010, dropping their 10th straight meeting with Peoria by a 2-0 count at Van Andel Arena on New Year's Day. The Griffins, who lost all seven clashes against Peoria during the 2010 calendar year, have now dropped nine straight games to the Rivermen in regulation and 10 straight overall (0-9-0-1) since their last series win, a 4-1 decision at Van Andel Arena on Dec. 5, 2009.
Happy Holidays: The Griffins secured a winning record for their record-tying 10-game December home schedule, finishing the month with a 6-3-1-0 mark at Van Andel Arena. Grand Rapids played 10 home games during a single month just twice before, going 6-3-1-0 in December 2007 and 7-2-1 in February 1999.
Close Quarters: The Griffins are tied with Lake Erie for fourth place (37 points) in a tight North Division race, just three points behind third-place Toronto. Only nine points separate first-place Hamilton (45) from last-place Abbotsford and Rochester (36).
Kudos: Brendan Smith's 22 points (8-14—22) tie for 11th among AHL defensemen and ninth among rookies, while his eight goals tie for second among blueliners…Francis Pare's three-game point streak (1-2—3) was snapped on Saturday…Joakim Andersson's team-high (tied) three-game goal streak ended on Friday. He had tallied just one goal in his first 31 appearances this season…Jordan Owens also had a three-game point streak (0-4—4) snapped on Friday.
Milestones: Francis Pare became the 14th player to score 50 goals during his Griffins career by notching the game-tying goal that sent Friday's contest into overtime…Joey MacDonald is three wins shy of 100 as a Griffin and needs six appearances to tie Jimmy Howard's franchise record of 186 games played by a goalie…Jamie Tardif has played 276 career games as a Griffin, putting him four behind sixth-place Dave Van Drunen (280) on the team's all-time list. Meanwhile, ninth-place Derek Meech (263) sits one game behind eighth-place Derek King (264).

I read constantly. It was a way to find out more about the world outside my parents home, and escape from the day in day out monotony, and other than our family movie nights, some of my only entertainment.Some books that I read, were not approved. I speed-read them without my parents knowledge in the library (The Princess Diaries Series, Star Wars Sci-Fi) and later when I had access to book stores bought them and hid them in the cabinet that was mine (Leon Uris and Chiam Potok). Sometimes unapproved books made their way into our house from grandparents downsizing (Readers Digest collections) or a large box of classics a distant relative or friend dropped off for the homeschool kids, … [Read more...]

No Blurred Lines
We were picking up toys in the living room, and the radio switched to Robin Thicke's song "blurred lines." After a minute I walked over and changed the station, MS Action stopped her be-bopping and asked "Why'd you turn off that song mom? It's good for dancing."I thought about it, "It is a good beat for dancing isn't it, I just don't really like the words in that song.""Oh, why don't you like the words mom?" My 7 year old persisted."Well, he sings about doing stuff to people that they don't want him to do, and… he thinks it's OK." I tried to explain."That's not OK!" piped up 5 year old MS Drama." "You shouldn't do things to people that they don't want you to do.""Definite … [Read more...]
Butch, Femme, Style, and Developing a Sense of Self
I remember climbing up the fence to scramble onto the roof, sometimes holding the hem of my skirt between my teeth while I climbed helped to keep it out of the way. I remember sitting in the apple tree reading my book, and how I jumped down and a branch hooked onto the hem and ripped a 2 foot gash in my skirt. My younger brother had a pair of combat boots that I would wear sometimes, just around the house or yard, they were awesome. I went on a trip with my grandparents, part of what made it so awesome was that I got to wear jeans and boots for hiking pretty much every day.Style and sense of self weren't so much a discovery in my childhood. What we could or could not wear was s … [Read more...]
It really wasn't that long ago
Does this look familiar to you? I remember seeing Lucy get spanked by Ricki, and I didn't even grow up with a television, so it must have been in the few episodes I saw as a kid. It was always treated as humorous, with Lucy making faces and the audience laughing. I never witnessed a fully adult woman get spanked in real life, but scenes like this didn't shock me. Lucy was "bad" and Ricki was reacting to her badness by teaching her a lesson, showing her her proper place. I didn't think it was strange that the show never featured Lucy spanking Ricki for laughs. I remember seeing The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O Hara where he drags his wife for several miles and … [Read more...]
Who I am
Who am I? It's a question that I started asking in earnest only a short time ago, and it seems like an endless process. It started with trying to figure out where I felt the most like me, the most at peace, the most beautiful. Little pieces came together slowly, separating who I am from who I was told to be. Some pieces were rather easy. I knew that I loved to read good books, that I love to write, that I enjoy messing around in the kitchen. But other peices felt mysterious to me, like looking in the mirror at a stranger.Who was that person? For a long time, I believed that question was wrong. That it didn't matter who I was, it mattered who God was, and my only purpose in lifewas to se … [Read more...]
How I lost my fear of Universal Health Care
When I moved to Canada in 2008, I was a die-hard conservative Republican. So when I found out that we were going to be covered by Canada's Universal Health Care, I was somewhat disgusted. This meant we couldn't choose our own health coverage, or even opt out if we wanted too. It also meant that abortion was covered by our taxes, something I had always believed was horrible. I believed based on my politics that government mandated health care was a violation of my freedom.When I got pregnant shortly after moving, I was apprehensive. Would I even be able to have a home birth like I had experienced with my first 2 babies? Universal Health Care meant less choice right? So I would be forced to … [Read more...]

Two Lee's Summit men were honored this week for saving the life of another resident.
The Fire Department recognized William Wiest and Larry Roberts Feb. 26 for their roles in rescuing a patient who was fighting for life in a creek bed at Legacy Park, dying from exposure.
Fire Chief Keith Martin presented them with "Distinguised Service" plaques at a brief reception at Fire Station No. 6.
"We want to recognize their alertness and willingness to help," Martin said.
Martin disclosed limited details of the incident on Dec. 7, 2013, at the request of the patient who wished to stay anonymous.
The man was unable to climb out of a creek bed alongside a trail on the southeast side of the park, Martin said, and suffered from severe hypothermia.
Wiest was on the trail, with his dog, and his dog hearing branches breaking, ran to the creek bed a couple of times. When no animal fled, Wiest became curious and went to look and found the man struggling to climb the bank.
Wiest ran to St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church, which is on Blackwell Parkway near that area, to call 911.
Roberts, who was at the church, returned with Wiest to the creek where they offered encouragement and tried to help the man get warm until help from the fire department arrived.
Martin, City Manager Steve Arbo, Councilman Bob Johnson, firefighters and the men's families were present for the award. Martin and Arbo said Lee's Summit is a community full of wonderful people who'll help each other. Wiest and Roberts exemplify that spirit, they said.
Roberts said that hardly a day or week goes by that he doesn't think about how the lucky rescue happened. The man would have perished if Wiest hadn't come along at that moment, he said.
Wiest and Roberts said they only reacted like any citizen would.
"I didn't do anything that was extremely special," Wiest said. "I just happened to go on a run in the freezing cold. And I was breaking a rule, having my dog off the leash.
"Somebody was watching over him and put me at the right place at the right time."
