Telling the story of Jesus with your life (Grade 4-5-6) (Free Sunday School Lesson For Children)
|Sept. 12/2010
|Grade 4-5-6
|Acts 1:1-8
|Be My Witness: Telling the story of Jesus with your life.
Written/Arranged by Teresa Klassen
- For this year we are going to a half hour to 45 minute discussion format
- Students in this age group then join up with "Big Church" for Worship/The Lord's Supper
GETTING TO KNOW YOU (5-7 minutes)
Have two students stand in front of the rest; introduce them and then have them stand there for another 10 or so seconds and tell the rest of the kids to look at them. Then send these two students go out of view and have the rest of the students tell you everything they can remember about them. You can ask a few questions to prompt them (what color of hair did they have, what are their names, what color of shoes did they have, were they wearing any jewelry, were they holding anything in their hands etc)
Then invite the two back in and see if you were right or not, and now many things you could have said but didn't.
Teacher: So, if you had to describe these two to the police, would you have done a good job?
OPENER (5-7 minutes)
Question: "What is a witness?"
Teacher: One of the definitions of the word witness is "one who has personal knowledge or experience of something" (wordcentral.com). When we see or experience something for ourselves, we can talk about it because we have been there; we have seen something and we can picture it up here in our heads, and we can then tell the story to others.
Question: Where do you usually hear the word "witness" how is that word used; for what purpose?
(ie. Witnesses appear in Court; when there is a car accident, the police take statements from witnesses)
Now I am going to show you a video clip I want everyone to remember at least one detail, and then tell us why that one thing caught your eye, why did you find it interesting?
Show: A clip depicting one or several car crashes.
A suggestion is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PApZm9-rwFc
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A WITNESS FOR JESUS? (5-7 minutes)
Teacher: Jesus said something interesting in the book of Acts – that is the book we are going to be looking at for the next few weeks. It is the book that talks about what happens right after Jesus died on the cross and rose again. Let's see if we can all find it in the Bible
Scripture: Have the students find Acts, then Acts 1:1-8. Explain how you look things up in the Bible if anyone doesn't know how to…
Teacher: So what do you think it means when Jesus says, "Be my witnesses?" A witness has to talk about something, what would someone who follows Jesus talk about?
(you might get blank stares at this question…that's OK…let it be a bit quiet to let them think and then pick up on the next activity)
3 AWESOME THINGS WORTH TALKING ABOUT (10-12 minutes)
*Make sure this is interactive, and have the kids join in as much as you can, sharing ideas.
The idea of being a witness for Jesus is talking about the things we know to be true about Him. We can talk about the things we have experienced, that makes it easy to tell Jesus' story…
There are TONS of things we can do and say to be witnesses for Jesus, but I have just picked 3 to give you an idea…
We'll have these things on a flip chart so you can move through them
Page 1: We all sin
A lot of people walk around in life feeling really awful about the things they have done. Some people do things that we might call "really bad." Things like what? (let kids answer). But the Bible says that all of our sin is "really bad." When we lie. That's really bad. When we gossip about others. That's really bad. When we cheat on something or steal something – even a little something – that's really bad. When we look at things on the internet that we really should not be looking at. That's really bad. When we post something on facebook that is a rumor or is just a bit mean. That's really bad. It's all called sin.
Sin loads up on us and makes our hearts really hard.
Question: So, as people wanting to be witnesses for Jesus. What would we say or do about this, "to be a witness"
Page 2: We can all be forgiven
When Jesus said be my witnesses, its all about sharing the Good News that Jesus came to tell. And this is the biggest piece of news ever. Being a witness means that when you see someone who feels rotten about the things they have done, and are full of guilt and embarrassment, you are Jesus' witness when you show kindness to that person; you don't judge them the way other people might judgment. You can say"Hey, did you know that you can be forgiven for all that?"
We can say that, because we have been forgiven ourselves. We have seen it and felt it and so we can tell the story to others. That's being a witness.
Page 3: People can really feel rejected.
You know what it is like to be rejected? You know when your friends turn on you, or laugh at you, or think it is hilarious when you fail or get hurt or are alone?
You can feel rejected as a kid and you can feel rejected as a parent. I bet if you would ask your mom or dad, they could tell you about a time they felt really rejected, or lonely.
Question: So how are we "witnesses" to people who are feeling rejected?
Page 4: Jesus completely accepts everyone
Jesus has something we don't have, and that is the ability to love people unconditionally…that means without holding anything back. He never walks away from anyone. He accepts everyone and He teaches those of us who are following Him to do the same.
When we are Jesus witnesses, half of being a witness is just how we act towards other people. When we accept others with love and compassion, we are being a witness.
When we become friends with people who might even be difficult to be friends with.
We can talk about the accepting love of Jesus, because we have been accepted ourselves. We have seen Jesus' love and felt it and so we can tell the story to others. That's being a witness.
Page 5: Worry!
There are so many things to worry about. I'll bet you bump into people all the time who are worried about a ton of things…
Question: What are some of the things people your age worry about?
So if you bump into someone who is worried about some of these things, what do you think Jesus would call you to say or do?
Page 6: Jesus gives us strength and wisdom and help and peace!
The fact is the Bible tells us that Jesus promises to be with us no matter what we are facing, or are worried about facing. Jesus promises to give us the strength we will need. He promises to help us. He promises to fill us with peace.
So, what can we do to be a witness?
- We can encourage people
- We can tell them some of the things Jesus says in the Bible that are important to know – like how He says, "I will never leave you or abandon you." Sometimes just sharing a good word lifts people up.
- We can pray for people
- Jesus can give us ideas on how to help people and then we can get really practical and help them
- We can be good listeners, patient and interested in people's stories – sometimes that is all someone needs
(other ideas…)
Jesus says that the way we live, the words we use, the kind of people we are ought to be different, noticeably different then everyone else who does not have Jesus as the leader of their life.
Just like "witnesses" tell a story about what they have seen and experienced, WE tell a story through how we are day by day as we hang around with friends, live in our families, and act towards strangers.
Jesus says in Acts to be His witness, and that is today's challenge.
If you have time –
Question: If you haven 't thought to much about how you are living, what is one thing you think you could do to tell the story of Jesus through your life?
Close in prayer
* If we are having the Lord's Supper, take some time to explain the Lord's Supper before you head over.

Quite often when recording, we have our standard sets of tools that we reach for to get our sounds - our particular compressors, equalizers, amps, etc. One of the major benefits of the digital realm is the almost limitless combinations of processing we can try, and the ease with which we can try them.
I am a big fan of fuzzed/overdriven bass tones, and in the past, have had a hard time trying to get the midrange/upper distortion while retaining the clear bottom end we usually want out of a bass sound. A cool trick I use quite often is to double up on the amps, and combine the tones to get the best of both worlds.
...with the guitar amp, it usually is best to roll off the bass eq either entirely or close to entirely, as the low end will conflict a bit with the bass amp..
In Practice
In Nuendo/Cubase (which we use here, but the principles apply to all major DAWs),
- 1.I create two group tracks ("Bass Amp" and "Guit Amp" in the screenshot to the right)
- 2.Insert Bass Amp Room (or your favorite bass amp plugin) on one of them...
- 3....and Metal Amp Room on the other (or your favorite mid-to-high gain guitar amp plugin)
- 4.Send the audio pre-fader from your bass track to the two group tracks.
- 5.Set the volume of the original bass track to -Inf
Now, you will be able to blend the bass amp signal with the guitar amp signal to taste using the group faders.
Tweaking the Sound
A few suggestions - with the guitar amp, it usually is best to roll off the bass eq either entirely or close to entirely, as the low end will conflict a bit with the bass amp, and more often than not will cause excessive "farting out" in the guitar amp. The general idea is to have the guitar amp be virtually all mids and treble, which will layer nicely over the bass to form a full frequency, thick bass tone. Likewise, I usually roll off some of the highs on the bass amp to allow the distorted signal from the guitar amp to cover the upper frequencies. Using this technique, you can dial in tons of gnarly bass tones, from gentle overdriven fuzz to fully aggressive bass-of-doom sounds. So, don't be afraid to experiment - plugins and digital recording make all sorts of craziness possible!

Collaboratively known as the twin cities of Pune, Pimpri and Chinchwad are cited to be one of the hottest real estate corridors in Pune. Being an essential part of the Pimpri-Chinchwad satellite town, Chinchwad is governed by the common body- the PCMC (Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation).
Situated towards the north western part of Pune city, Chinchwad is well linked to other parts of the city via the Old Pune-Mumbai Highway. Named after Tamarind (Chinch) and Banyan (Wad) tress, this neighbourhood is an exquisitely planned residential hub with the presence of many urban township projects.
- Chinchwad boasts of seamless connectivity and has a number of small roads that improve networking
- Apart from the arterial connector – Old Pune-Mumbai Highway, the area has a number of roads like Nigadi Bhosari Road, Pimpri Chikhali Road, PCMC Link Road and Chikhali Akurdi Road
- A number of PMPML (Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited) operated buses start from the Pimpri-Chinchwad bus stand in Vallabhnagar
- Via rail, the suburb is well linked to Pune, Lonavala and Mumbai through local trains
- Despite the Pune International Airport being 21 km away from the Chinchwad Railway Station, one can reach the station in just about 40 minutes using the Old Pune-Mumbai Highway
- Cited to be one of the most promising regions, the area has a number of infrastructural projects in the pipeline, the biggest being the BRTS (Bus Rapid Transit System)
- The BRTS connectivity will link many established localities like Kalewadi, Morwadi, Vitthal Nagar, Jyotiba Nagar, MIDC and Dehu. The project is currently on hold
- The proposed Metro rail is another project that is helping the realty sector here. The Phase I, line I of metro links Chinchwad to Swargate
- The upcoming freeway project linking Chinchwad to Pimpri, Nigdi and Akurdi will develop the region phenomenally
- The area's proximity to IT hubs like Hinjewadi too has resulted in major commercialization
- This region has also gone on to become one of the most sought after manufacturing destination. A number of automobile companies have their base here
- The presence of many renowned educational institutions has attracted a pool of student fraternity and due to the cosmopolitan crowd the commercial market is developing
Real estate
- Some of the active sub-localities that are brimming with construction activities include Mohan Nagar, Kalbor Nagar, Chinchwad Gaon, MIDC and HDFC Colony
- With the realty demand majorly driven by the IT/manufacturing professionals, real estate developers are offering a number of homes starting at a budget of INR 35 lakhs
- There seems to be an inherit demand for 2 and 3 BHK apartments in Chinchwad
- In a span of two years, capital values of apartments have escalated over 22%
- The current ongoing rates for homes are estimated to hover anywhere between INR 4,500 and INR 5,500 psft
- The area is becoming a rental destination and with properties in Chinchwad yielding high rentals, the area is a favourable hub for investors and second time home buyers
- Rental returns have appreciated over 18% in the past two years. According to market trends, a home that spreads over 1,000 square feet is expected to generate an average rental return of INR 14,000 per month
- Now that the suburb is reaching its saturation point, the dearth in availability of plots is resulting in major price escalation
- The current prices for residential plots are estimated to fall between INR 2,000 and INR 3,800 psft

Just shy of smashing the 400 mph barrier, Top 1 Ack Attack prepared to make history at Mike Cook's Top Speed Shootout.
Some things are better left alone. Of the countless attempts at setting a land speed record, only a select few who have done the work, put in the time and had lady luck shine on them actually leave with the all-important timing slip in their possession that states they are officially the fastest.
Of those holding various class records, the field narrows considerably when talking about the outright two-wheel record. Names like Vesco, Campos and Carr have been there. Once they've achieved their goal, they wait. There's no where left to go when you're already on top. It makes better sense to wait for the competition to catch up. It's a dangerous game, and the losses – at times – can be catastrophic.
The Top 1 Ack Attack team has taken a different approach. Mike Akatiff's original goal was to design and build the world's fastest motorcycle, set the record, and move on. If only it were that easy. For many, land speed racing truly is an addiction. The American Heritage Dictionary defines the word addiction as follows: "The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or involved in something." Mike started competing with his Twin-engine streamliner in 2004. He and his team have three outright motorcycle world land speed records, multiple AMA National outright records, as well as multiple club records.
In 2010, the team set what is still the current outright motorcycle land speed record at 376.363 mph. What was a game-changer was our final run on a wounded motorcycle with a broken transmission. With 5th and 6th gears no longer functional, the bike was geared taller, the rev limiter raised, and the boost maximized. It was doubtful the bike could even pull the gear, but we gave it a shot. The first mile and a half the bike bogged as expected, and we were quickly running out of real estate. Then the turbo finally spooled up…
The rest, as they say, is history. It was a drag race to the lights. Had we had more real estate, we would have gone faster. Consider that entry speed was 379 mph with a 394 exit. The bike was still accelerating as we exited the lights. Tom Burkland suggested we check our data acquisition as
The traction control calibration box and shifting light were mounted front and center and hindered my view.
the rate of acceleration implied we probably exceeded 400 mph before decel. Unofficially we did, but that doesn't count.
Mike's first words to me after congratulations was: "Six mph under 400, but it was real close…" We'd achieved our goal and once again the Top 1 Ack Attack was the world's fastest motorcycle. For most that would be enough. For Mike, our team and myself, the chance to be the first officially over 400 on two wheels is a milestone even bigger than the record. To put it away and wait, we might miss our window of opportunity. That is why we continue to press forward with everything we've got.
Mike Cook's Top Speed Shootout is the ultimate testing ground for the world's fastest wheel-powered streamliners. In the past, the Bub meet was also a viable option, but in recent years he hasn't offered a course long enough to meet our needs. We showed up for the Shootout with one goal in mind: to reach 400 mph within the lights.
Changes for this year's attempt included a new fly-by-wire throttle with an electronic traction control. We run Mickey Thompson LSR tires and have only one decent tire left, and a spare that's been ridden hard many times and would only be used as a last resort. Mike figured the traction control would save the tire from excessive wheel spin, and hopefully put more power to the ground. I understand his decision and was onboard with putting the new system through the paces.
The deep groove in the salt is from
the spinning rear tire moments
before the bike went down. The
ambulance and safety crew are
already at the scene assessing the
Recent rains left the course wet and loose on the pit side of the course. By the third mile the salt was hard and dry. The plan was to wait for a day or so to give the salt a chance to tighten up. By the end of the first day some of the team's were making some pretty fast runs, so we were of the impression it was good enough to do some initial testing.
At days end, Mike approached the promoter and asked if we could make a couple low speed test runs. The course was open as most of the teams had either packed and headed in for the day, or were in the process. We got the go-ahead, loaded up and headed to the third mile. The goal was to do a couple of low speed calibration runs to synchronize the wheel sensors with the new traction control system. The bodywork was left behind so we could access the tc unit to make any necessary changes.
The first thing I noticed after being strapped in was that my vision was severely hindered by the traction control box and the new shifting light mounted front and center. This, and the new SA 2010 rated Simpson helmet I was wearing was physically bigger than my previous helmet, lowering my line of sight. I made a mental note this would have to be changed before we started running with any speed.
The first test run went off without a hitch. I ran a little over 100 mph, pulled in the clutch and allowed the traction control monitor to collect data. No drama. The next pass was where things went all to hell…
Starting from the zero-mile marker in the wet, slippery stuff, I had to get released from the push vehicle and get the gear up quickly. There was a trench that ran across the course was filled with loose salt from water that ran across the track earlier in the week. With the gear up the bike felt squirrelly in the wet, but I managed to get underway without much hassle.
The engines seemed to lay down, like the gearing was too tall. In actuality it was the traction control minimizing available power against the slippery surface. By now I'm at ¾ throttle and gingerly picking up speed. I hit a patch of dry salt with a little grip and like a light switch, the full magnitude of the Twin engine powerplant hit all at once. The engines revved hard, the tire spun and started coming around on the left. The bike leaned right and for a moment I thought I might low side. I steered into it and picked the long streamliner back upright. The rear tire was spinning so fast that the rear shot to the right, snapping like a whip, this time low siding to the left at a 90 degree angle to the direction of travel.
With no bodywork on the bike the frame caught, digging into the salt and catapulting the Ack Attack into the air. The bike was spinning clockwise and hit hard, directly on the roll cage and nose of the bike, crushing the aluminum nose tank, spraying hot water everywhere. The impact was so great that I felt my neck and back compress against me, even though I tightened my torso and fought to keep from collapsing fully.
The bike caught and lifted again, spinning in the air, coming down on its lid a second time, the tail hitting hard, smashing the exhaust cone in the process. Part of an upper frame rail ripped free from the bike, digging into the salt as it continued to tumble. One of the water pipes that run the length of the bike from the nose tank to the engines ripped free, spouting boiling water into the air. The bike came to rest under a heavy rain of coolant, salt and flying debris. In a matter of seconds it was over, as was our season and our hopes of reaching 400 mph.
The bike can be repaired. I was lucky, escaping with minor injuries. The team remains determined and The Top 1 Ack Attack is still the reigning champion of speed. And, 400 mph is only 6 mph away… waiting.

UK Today News: Dell Streak Tablet Reviewed Advantages & Disadvantages, AT&T Strike a Two Year Deal
Dell Streak Reviewed: The Dell streak tablet is now introduced and has bagged a contract from AT&T with a two year voice and data contract selling for $550, or $300.
The Dell Streak's 5-inch streak phone is being sold more as an advantage over the 5-inch screen iPhone.
The new phone which is being pitched as the 'sweet spot', comes as a dual advantage. This advantage allows the new Big phone Dell Streak to act as both, either a tablet or as a smartphone.
Dell Streak review with advantages and disadvantages:
However like it has been commonly said – 'There are two sides of a coin'; the Dell Streak is likely to face some faults along with its advantages. Some of the added advantages of the new Dell Streak would obviously be that it is more portable and will also provide easy grip and hold than a tablet with a larger screen.
Also, the size being a little bigger than the others, will give up the ability to be a good e-reader.
A negative aspect of the Streak would be for instance pressing a 5-inch display to your head which might look a little silly if you compare it with today's world of slick and smaller smartphones.
The Streak however when compared has more qualities of a smartphone than that of a tablet.
Being more pocket friendly, the Streak is better for pocketbooks says Dell.

His party was held in our favorite Italian restaurant, Nero Vivo. We ave always loved the food and service of this restaurant but alas on this evening it was short of the mark. Most likely iit was due to the big party of over a hundred guests.
At the party, I told Dato Aru that I now have my own food blog and one of these days, I would love to cook for him. The following dish will be one to consider. This simple recipe produces an aromatic beef lovers ecstasy.

IN THE DUSTY town of Livermore, nestled in the Amador Valley, where cows compete with zinfindel grapes for land not yet requisitioned by the local nuclear weapons lab, the dreams of Edward Teller, father of the H-bomb and "Star Wars," may finally have gone to ground.
These are dark, brooding days for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, "the house that Teller built," a rambling complex of Quonset huts and low-rise office buildings two hours due east of San Francisco. One of only two places in the United States where you can legally develop a nuclear weapon, Livermore's barbed-wire perimeter, security passes whose various colors denote levels of clearance, and Top Secret and Classified stamps on virtually every laundry list in the place still present the lab as an efficient outpost of the military-industrial complex. But now there is also a scent of scandal as investigators from various federal agencies and congressional offices comb the premises, poring over records and interviewing staffers to determine if all is in order.
For the first time in the lab's history, key members of its leadership have broken ranks and gone public with tales of internal disarray. And for the first time, Teller, the lab's revered 80-year-old co-founder, now an associate director emeritus, is on the defensive. He is charged by an unlikely whistle-blower--Roy Woodruff, a highly regarded and conservative former director of the laboratory's weapons program--with having seriously misled the Reagan Administration about the X-ray laser, centerpiece of the Strategic Defense Initiative.

Illustrated by Gabriela Alford.
Nestled in the layers of some of your favorite foods, you'll find butter (we're looking at you, croissants). We're taught these foodstuffs are bad news for your body. And, for years, margarine trumped butter as a healthier alternative. Well, guess what? Since 2012, butter consumption is at a 40-year high, according to the L.A. Times. To put that claim into perspective, that's 5.6 pounds of butter per capita — an increase from 4.1 pounds in 1997. That's 25% more butter in your fridge, dear reader.
So, what's with all the butter? Apparently, the trend of ditching processed foods for natural options has us looking to get back to basics when it comes to ingredients. Plus, margarine used to be chock full of trans fats, and many people still believe that margarine contains high levels of that dreaded fat. (Trans fats are now known to impair levels of HDL — the "good cholesterol.") It's likely that this perception has been increasing Land O' Lakes' sales for a while now. Butter, which consists of either just cream or cream and salt, offers zero mystery and 100% deliciousness.
It's important to remember, however, that butter isn't a health food. It's got lots of saturated fat, and should be consumed sparingly. In the meantime, to celebrate butter's awesome comeback, we recommend making these oatmeal scones and this peppermint bark. (Alternet)

- Prevent kidney stone. If you suffer from kidney stones, make it a habit to drink coconut water regularly. The habit of drinking coconut water will help children break up kidney stones and ease them out of the body. Coconut water is also known since the first can cure urinary tract disorders. A glass of coconut water will relieve the pain of difficult urination.
- Coconut water can also reduce high blood pressure. Blood pressure of patients who regularly consume coconut water dropped to 71 percent. Compared with isotonic drinks or energy drinks, coconut water is richer in potassium than sodium. As it is known, sodium should be limited because it can cause hypertension. Potassium and potassium known to be beneficial for heart health. Because of this, experts say, pure coconut water drink without sugar can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Improve immune system. Coconut water will not only make your immune system is better, but it also helps the body fight some types of viruses that cause disease.

When you are budgeting for transport, there are many factors you need to consider such as the cost of travel from home to college or university. Don't forget to include the cost of any trips to and from work placements.
Studying in London? Find out more about transport in the capital.
Bus fares are different across the UK. In some places, the fare depends on how far you are travelling. In others, you'll pay a single flat fare however far you go. If you get the bus regularly, you'll normally be able to buy a weekly, monthly or annual bus pass, which gives you unlimited bus travel for a fixed cost.
In some areas, you can't get change when you pay for a bus, so if you don't have the exact money you could lose out.
You might be able to pay for buses with a smartcard instead of cash. In London, you can only pay with an Oyster smartcard or a contactless credit or debit card - cash is no longer accepted.
Local train tickets generally cost between £2 and £6 for a one-way journey. Return tickets for short journeys are often only a pound or two more expensive than a single.
Longer journeys will be significantly more expensive if you don't book ahead. For example, a return ticket from Manchester to London costs around £82 if you buy it on the day of travel. However, train companies offer a limited number of advance tickets at lower prices. You'll need to book early to take advantage of these. If you buy an advance ticket, you have to travel on the specific train you book - if you miss it, you'll have to buy a new ticket. Full-price tickets can be used on any train that day.
With a student card, you can buy a 16-25 Railcard which is a good investment. For £30 a year, you get 30% off all journeys.
If you need to take the train every day, you can get a season ticket to save money. These can last from one week to one year: the longer the ticket, the more you'll save overall. The price will depend on your particular journey. You can't get a Railcard discount for a season ticket.
Underground / Metro
The 'Tube' is very popular in London, and some other cities. In central London a single ticket costs about £4 per journey. If your journey is short, it will be cheaper to get the bus or walk. In other cities, the average fare to student areas is around £1.50 single. Look out for cheaper travelcards or passes, like London's Student Oyster card which gives you a 1/3 discount.
Parking on campus and halls of residence can be limited. You must get car insurance, pay car tax and pay for a MOT test at a garage to drive in the UK. Adding the costs of petrol and repairs means it can be very expensive. If you want to drive, get an International Driving Licence before you come.
If you are an EU resident, then you can bring your car to the UK for six months in any 12 month period without having to register the vehicle here, provided it complies with the requirements of your home country. To keep it here for longer, you need to register the vehicle with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). If you are a non-EU resident, you must show HM Revenue and Customs you are eligible to use your vehicle in the UK on a temporary six-month basis. If you wish to extend your stay, you must apply to HMRC again and then register the vehicle with the DVLA
For more information visit: www.dvla.gov.uk.
More information on driving from UKCISA
Coaches are similar to buses, but offer longer, intercity travel, with space for luggage. Unlike most buses, you'll need to book a ticket for a particular time in advance.
National Express and Megabus coaches can be cheaper than trains, but take longer. Try and book in advance for cheaper tickets. People under 26 can buy a £10 Coachcard to save 1/3 on National Express coaches, and students can get 25% off with an NUS Extra card.
Taxis and minicabs
Taxi fares are regulated by local councils, so you should be able to look up the cost of a taxi in your area online. Some universities run schemes with local taxi firms which let you hand over your student card instead of paying if you don't have the money. The university will pay your fare for you, and you'll get your student card back when you pay the university back.
Minicabs are booked ahead for particular journeys. You'll agree the price when you call to book. You shouldn't try to hail minicabs on the street: because there is no record of your journey if you do this, it is no safer than getting into a stranger's car.
There are many budget flights if you want to go travelling in Europe. Budget airlines in the UK include EasyJet, RyanAir and Jet2. As well as the ticket, don't forget the cost of transport to and from the airport, taxes and bag check in. Often the earlier you book, the cheaper the ticket.
If you want to travel to other countries in Europe, you'll need a separate visa. Look into the Schengen visa which covers 26 countries.
The healthy option! Make sure you get a helmet, lights and a decent lock. You should get your bike insured as they are often stolen.
Take care when cycling, especially in big cities like London. Use bike lanes where possible to stay safe. Many local councils offer cycle training courses which can help you to improve your cycling skills. Look on your council website for more.
Walking is good exercise and doesn't cost anything! Remember to be safe: if it's late, walk with others.

Okay, FIRE has finally been added to the Green Heroes list
Believe it or not, Bea actually made her debute in the original Superfriends comic book (issue #25, 1979). Originally called the Green Fury, Bea's powers were primarily due to her breathing a mystical green flame. She could even fly by shooting flames through her nose. Eek!
Thank goodness her powers have evolved to become much less embarrassing!
Anyway, Fire is on the list now. If anyone runs across any other "Green" heroes -- past or present -- that belong on the list, let me know!

Woohoo! Go Bea!
I did not know about her shooting fire out her nose in order to fly. I would have to say, that must be one of her most closely guarded secrets, because if Guy ever found out, the teasing would be horrendous.

Pyongyang drivers scramble as gas stations limit services in North Korea
A sign outside one station in the North Korean capital said Friday that sales were being restricted to diplomats or vehicles used by international organizations, while others were closed or turning away local residents. Lines at other stations were much longer than usual and prices appeared to be rising significantly.
The cause of the restrictions or how long they might last were not immediately known.
North Korea relies heavily on China for its fuel supply and Beijing has reportedly been tightening its enforcement of international sanctions aimed at getting Pyongyang to abandon its development of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles.
The issue was raised at a regular Chinese Foreign Ministry news conference in Beijing on Friday after a Chinese media outlet, Global Times, reported gas stations were restricting service and charging higher prices.
But spokesman Lu Kang gave an ambiguous response when asked if China was restricting fuel deliveries.
"As for what kind of policy China is taking, I think you should listen to the authoritative remarks or statements of the Chinese government," he said, without elaborating on what those remarks or statements are. "For the remarks made by certain people or circulated online, it is up to you if you want to take them as references."
One of China's top North Korea scholars, Kim Dong-jil, director of the Center for Korean Peninsula Studies of Peking University, said he had not heard of new restrictions on fuel to pressure Pyongyang, but said they are considered to be an option.
China's Ministry of Commerce had no immediate comments.
President Trump has said that he has a "very good relationship" with the Chinese president, Xi Jinping. The Journal, earlier this month, reported that Trump was scheduled to meet for 10 to 15 minutes, but ended up talking for three hours.
Gasoline was selling at $1.25 per kilogram at one station, up from the previous 70-80 cents. According to a sign outside a station where ordinary North Korean vehicles were being turned away, the restrictions took effect on Wednesday.
Gasoline is sold in North Korea by the kilogram, roughly equivalent to a liter (0.26 gallon).
When buying gas in North Korea, customers usually first purchase coupons at a cashier's booth for the amount of fuel they want. After filling up the tank, leftover coupons can be used on later visits until their expiration date. A common amount for the coupons is 15 kilograms (19.65 liters or 5.2 U.S. gallons).
Supply is controlled by the state.
The military, state ministries and priority projects have the best access. Several chains of gas stations are operated under different state-run enterprises -- for example, Air Koryo, the national flagship airline, operates gas stations as well.
Prices can vary from one station to another.
Traffic in Pyongyang has gotten heavier than in past years, when visitors were often struck by the lack of cars on the capital's broad avenues.
The greater number of cars, including swelling fleets of taxis, has been an indication of greater economic activity, as many are used for business purposes, such as transporting people or goods.

Much old-time and Appalachian ballads and folk tunes came over from Europe (especially the British Isles) with emigrants from those countries. And, while many musicians have worked to keep those musical traditions alive (think: Celtic jams), others helped the songs evolve (think: bluegrass and contemporary folk). But part of the process of the evolution of folk music has to do with the songs, in their American adaptations, finding their way back to their homeland.
Enter I Draw Slow, an acoustic group from Ireland who plays bluegrass and Americana. Their album, Redhills, was recently released on N.C.-based Pinecastle Records, and the band is currently in the midst of a two-week tour of Appalachia.
The band is led by Holden siblings Dave (guitar and vocals) and Louise (vocals) with Konrad Liddy on guitar, Colin Derham on banjo and Adrian Hart on fiddle. Based in Dublin, they describe their sound as "rooted in the old time style of the Appalachian mountains, drawing on Irish traditional music and modern Americana." In fact, so enthralled are they with Appalachia that, on a solo trip through the area a few years ago, Dave was inspired to write a song about Little Switzerland.
But, if there's any intimidation factor in bringing old-time music, filtered through an Irish sensibility, back to the epicenter of old-time, I Draw Slow didn't show it at their first American show. That was at Jack of the Wood (below) a little more than a week ago. They quickly had the crowd dancing (including a pair of cloggers) and were doing brisk CD sales on their breaks.
I Draw Slow's tour culminates with appearances at the Albino Skunk Festival in Greer, S.C. on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 4 and 5. (They're on stage at 5:10 p.m. on Thursday and 2:20 p.m. on Friday; other acts include The Lee Boys, Zoe Muth & the Lost High Rollers, Sol Driven Train, The Honeycutters, Elephant Revival, Darrell Scott and many more.)
But first, I Draw Slow plays at White Horse Black Mountain tonight (Wednesday, Oct. 3) at 7:30 p.m. $15.
Watch for a video interview and excessive performance from I Draw Slow to run on mountainx.com later this week.
Watch the band perform "Goldmine" here:

Former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson injured his arm when Anthony Pettis submitted him via armbar at UFC 164 on Aug. 31 in Milwaukee.
The good news, however, is that Henderson's injury isn't severe, and he won't need surgery.
Henderson visited Dr. Brian Shafer this week and learned that there is no structural damage to his elbow. Dr. Shafer is an elbow specialist in Phoenix and a team physician with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
There is no specified timetable for Benson's return to the Octagon.
"My elbow isn't going to be an issue," said Henderson. "Dr. Shafer said I can resume training immediately, but to take it slow and steady for a couple of weeks and do my rehab work. Of course I am anxious to get going full speed again, but I will be smart and patient about it as well.
"I want to thank my hardcore fans for their awesome support, not just in the past week, but throughout my career. I can be better. I will be better."

HON. BENJAMIN B. ODELL. - In reviewing the life of this venerable and distinguished citizen of Newburgh, a few
words regarding his ancestry will not be amiss. The family is of French and English descent, but has been represented
in America for many generations. His grandfather, William Odell, was born in New York City, and there for some
years he was proprietor of the Bull's Head Tavern. In 1835 he moved to Orleans County, N. Y., where he bought a
tract of land and with the assistance of his two sons improved a valuable farm. His death occurred there at the
age of more than ninety years.
Isaac Odell, the father of our subject, was born in Tarrytown, Westchester County, N. Y., and reared in New York
City, whence, about 1820, he came to Orange County, settling on the DeWitt Clinton farm at Little Britain, where
he remained until 1830, when he removed to Newburgh and was employed in the freighting business with the firm of
Powell, Wardrop & Johnson, with whom he remained until his retirement from business. He died at the age of
sixty five. His wife, Mary A., was also a native of Westchester County. She died in New York City in her eighty
first year. Their family consisted of two sons and two daughters, of whom Benjamin B. was the second in order of
birth. He was born in the Governor Clinton homestead, New Windsor town, September to, 1825, and reared in Newburgh,
where he attended the public schools. In 1843 he entered the employ of B. W. Van Nort, in the restaurant and hotel
business where he remained until 1847, when he embarked in business for himself, opening a restaurant in Third
street. Twenty years later he sold and abandoned the business permanently.
Mr. Odell foresaw a promising field in the ice business, and. in 1863 purchased from James R. Dixon the ice property
now known as Muchattoes Lake, and conducted the business personally until 1886, when he organized the Muchattoes
Lake Ice Company, of which he has since remained president.
Mr. Odell was one of the organizers of the Columbus Trust Company in 1892, and was the first president, but resigned
after one year in office. He is president of the Central Hudson Steamboat Company and a director in the Orange
County Traction Company.
For over sixty years Mr. Odell has been prominently identified with the administration of public affairs of Newburgh
and Orange County. In 1863 he was trustee of the village; 1865, alderman from the Third ward: 1879, supervisor
of the town of New Windsor; 1880 to 1883, sheriff of Orange County. In 1884 he was elected mayor of Newburgh, continuing
in that office until 1890, when he refused to be a candidate for another term. In 1894, however, he was again nominated
and reelected mayor, serving until 1900. During the twelve years of his administration the city witnessed the creation
of many public improvements and an era of great progress and increase in population.
Amid the multiplicity of his public and private affairs, Mr. Odell has never allowed his religious duties to be
neglected. In the American Reformed Church he has been an official, serving at different times as elder and deacon.
In 1850 he married Miss Ophelia, daughter of Hiram Bookstaver, of the town of Montgomery. Eleven children were
born to them, of whom four are living: Benjamin B., Jr., Governor of New York State (1900 to 1904) ; Hiram
B., postmaster of Newburgh; Clara, who resides with her father, and George C. D., professor in Columbia University,
New York City.
By his energy and resolute character, coupled with a genial disposition, Mr. Odell has not only advanced his own
success, but has given an impetus to the growth and prosperity of Newburgh by his progressive spirit and enterprise.

I was unable to attend the concerts last weekend, but a friend of mine, French horn player with the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra was gracious enough to write her thoughts on the concert…
By Kristen Miller
The set of April 27-29 concerts given by the Pittsburgh Symphony was the much-anticipated musical opening to the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's Paris Festival. I attended Saturday's concert and was drawn in to the aura of Paris while hearing a wonderful sampling of music.
The concert began with the delightful La Boutique Fantasque ("The Fantastic Toy Shop"), a ballet by Ottorino Respighi that was inspired by the work of Italian composer Gioacchino Rossini (who experienced a great burst of creative activity in Paris). The ballet tells the story of dancing dolls that outwit customers in the toy shop to prevent the sale of two can-can dancing dolls. The music is not only aurally descriptive, but colorful as it depicts the antics of the dolls bustling around the shop. The virtuosity of the Pittsburgh Symphony's woodwind section was evident as they figuratively "became" the dolls. It was an enchanting performance that transported the audience into another time and place.
Next on the program was Ibéria by Claude Debussy; he was a composer who played an important role in developing French music and Impressionism. Ibéria is a triptych (a piece in three movements) that is the second part of a larger suite entitled Images. The piece was conceived after Debussy attended a bullfight in Spain and he was compelled to capture the character of the country. The portrayal of "Through the Streets and Lanes," "The Fragrances of the Night," and "Morning of a Feast Day," was extremely reminiscent of Spanish culture and flair while still being truthful to Debussy's style. During this piece, I experienced the music with closed eyes and was able to feel the personality of each movement in such a vivid manner that I felt like I was in Spain with Debussy.
To finish off the concert, the Pittsburgh Symphony played Manuel De Falla's Suites Nos. 1 and 2 from The Three-Cornered Hat. The Three-Cornered Hat is also a ballet, but it is very Spanish in sound. It tells the story of a miller and his wife as they try to fend off the advances of a devious Corregidor (mayor). A series of lively dances characterize these pieces and again, the Symphony's performance propelled listeners into another reality. My favorite dance was The Miller's Dance from the Suite No. 2- the solos in this movement played by William Caballero (French horn) and Harold Smoliar (English horn) were exquisite.
Overall, this series of concerts certainly leaves high expectations for the concerts to come. I am excited to see what the coming weeks of the Paris Festival hold! Au Revoir!

Reed not only starred in Smokey and The Bandit, but also wrote the theme song; East Bound and Down.
It was in 1958 when Jerry Reed was recording rock-a-billy songs that a Capitol Records producer named Bill Lowery took notice of his song, Crazy Legs. Lowery had Gene Vincent cover the song and he signed Jerry Reed to a contract as a staff artist and writer. This was with Lowery's company National Recording Corporation.
1959 was a busy year for Reed. He got married. Within a few years two daughters were born to him and his wife. In that same year he joined the United States Army (we had compulsory service at the time) and served two years.
In 1967 Reed recorded Guitar Man. Elvis Presley heard the song and decided to record it. Reed also recorded a comic tribute to Elvis called Tupelo Mississippi Flash. It became a top 20 hit song.
When Elvis went to
Elvis sent his producer to find Reed and get him in the studio. Elvis's studio players were baffled on how Jerry Reed played the guitar part.
Jerry explained to them, 'Well, if you want it to sound like that, you're going have to get me in there to play guitar, because these guys (you're using in the studio) are straight pickers. I pick with my fingers and tune that guitar up all weird kind of ways.'
Elvis loved the part and kept Reed at the session to cut U.S. Male and Big Boss Man. The following year Elvis hired Reed again to record a few songs on his next album. And again in 1971 Jerry Reed got the call from The King for another album session.
His biggest break came when he became a regular on The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. He released another hit in 1971 called When You're Hot, You're Hot.
The appearance in the cartoon show 'Scooby Doo' may have been responsible for Reed's acting career.
He had befriended Burt Reynolds and appeared in a film called W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings. He next acted in Gator and then became a star in all three Smokey and the Bandit films. For a short time Jerry Reed hosted his own variety TV show.
In 1980 Reed re-recorded Guitar Man as a hotter version. He continued acting and recording. He did more songs with Atkins. Although he was not on the session, Jerry Reed came up with the ascending and descending guitar licks that open Glen Campbell's hit Southern Nights.
For the next twenty five years, Jerry Reed had successful recordings, co-starred in motion pictures and worked on television. He made public appearances and gave concerts. He recorded one more album with Chet Atkins called Sneakin' Around.
What set Jerry Reed apart as a guitarist was summed up in his own words, "…I pick with my fingers and tune that guitar up all weird kind of ways." Other guitarists gave him a nickname; The Claw.
Most finger pickers or thumb pickers use their thumb for the bass line and anywhere from one to three fingers for chords and lead. Jerry just dug his hand in there and made use of all; his thumb and fingers.
He also experimented with different tunings long before most of us gave it a thought. The simplest tuning he used was to tune his guitar down a ½ step.
He also tuned to an open G and made use of dropped D tuning. He may have been the guy that taught Chet how to use the Gmaj7th tuning of D-G-D-G-B-E.
Tunings were one thing that contributed to Reed's guitar playing, the other was his guitar. Reed's first good guitar was a Gretsch Chet Atkins Model 6120.
Although he was fond of the guitar, Jerry Reed did not like guitars with steel strings. He said they tore up his fingernails. He generally played nylon string guitars. Before he discovered the Baldwin Guitar, he played a Guild classic guitar. It was possibly a Mark III with a spruce top and a mahogany body. By far his favorite was a guitar sold by The Baldwin Piano Company.
During the guitar boom of the 1960's,
The Harmony guitar with the
He took his Baldwin to a
From reading conversations it sounds like Jerry Reed bought a Baldwin amplifier to go along with the guitar. Most videos of Jerry show him with Peavey amplifiers. But Peavey was not in business during the 1960's. The solid state amplifier advertised with the guitar is the same model that Willie Nelson has been using for his entire career.
It is said that Fender Guitars spent thousands of dollars making a guitar for Reed. Reed always went back to his
Jerry just plugged his guitar into an amplifier and began playing.
Word about the Prismatone pickup spread throughout
Willie Nelson purchased an old Martin N-20 and added a Prismatone pickup.
Jerry searched around to find the lightest guitar strings made, LaBella 820's.
After Gretsch guitars went out of business, Gibson Guitar Company was courting Chet Atkins. They built a solid body nylon Chet Atkins model called the CE-1. Jerry owned one of these guitars. Jerry also owned a Marcelo Barbero flamenco guitar.
In a 1992 clip from the Jerry Reed Show, he is playing a Fender Telecaster. On the George Jones Show, Reed is playing a Fender classic electric guitar.
An episode of the Porter Wagoner Show has him playing a Gibson Les Paul through an Ampeg amplifier. On an episode of the Barbara Mandrell Show, Jerry is playing a Peavey T-60. On the Glenn Campbell Show, Jerry is playing the obligatory Ovation Classical.

Death, Dying,
Grief and Mourning
"Death is always the same,
but each man dies in his own way."

Emile Zola,
Nana is Dead!
They went briskly out, casting a last glance at the
bed as they passed it. But whilst Lucy, Blanche, and Caroline still
remained behind, Rose gave a final look round, for she wanted to
leave the room in order. She drew a curtain across the window, and
then it occurred to her that the lamp was not the proper thing, and
that a taper should take its place. .So she lit one of the copper
candelabra on the chimney-piece and placed it on the night-table
beside the corpse. A brilliant light suddenly illuminated the dead
woman's face. The women were horror struck. They shuttered and
"Ah, she's changed, she's changed!" murmured Rose
Mignon, who was the last to remain.
She went away; she shut the door. Nana was left
alone, with upturned face in the light cast of the candle. She was
fruit of the charnel-house, a heap of matter and blood, a shovelful
of corrupted flesh thrown down on the pillow. The pustules had
invaded the whole of her face, so that each touched it neighbour.
Fading and sunken, they had assumed the grayish hue of mud, and on
that formless pulp, where the features had ceased to be traceable,
they already resembled some decaying damp from the grave. One eye,
the left eye, had completely foundered among bubbling purulence, and
the other, which remained half open, looked like a deep black
ruinous hole. The nose was still suppurating. Quite a reddish crush
was peeling from one of the cheeks, and invading the mouth, which
was distorted into a horrible grin. And over this loathsome and
grotesque mask of death, the hair, the beautiful hair, still blazed
like sunlight and flowed downwards in rippling gold. Venus was
rotting. It seemed as though the poison she had assimilated in the
gutters, and on the carrion tolerated by the roadside, the leaven
with which she had poisoned a whole people, had but now remounted to
her face and turned it to corruption.
The room was empty. A great despairing came up from
the boulevard, and swelled the curtain.

Woven Shibori
For all the weavers who want to try something new I recommend Catherine Ellis book, "Woven Shibori". She really has done a remarkable job researching and experimenting to the millionth degree the possibilities of 'weaving-in' the pull threads of shibori and the following surface dying .
Most of us Neanderthals have been painstakingly measuring and marking and stitching evenings away to get similar results. She shows us how to set our looms to get the stitching built in. It felt a little like seeing a "Ring-around-the-collar or 'Scrubbing Bubbles" or a 'Mr. Muscle your a good man to wake up to." ad for the first time. Too good to be true. But the results are in...and they work.

Thanks for reminding me of this book! I did a class on dyeing and made a set of three (woven) shibori scarves, but never bought this book at the time... I'm in another class, now, making (shibori) fabric for a dress and am still in the planning stages. The idea of treating six yards of fabric in the normal-way at this stage of my weaving development is making me a little nauseous, haha. :)ReplyDelete
you are too funny!! however, try kanoko shibori on the loom...ReplyDelete
or any of the kumo techniques :)

I only needed to see this little French gaming site video clip to be all-in on the 3DS XL. I was pretty close already, though, as I've daydreamed of bigger screens since launch day. But this video took me over the top. It looks so nice!
Puissance Nintendo went hands-on with the new unit, and they had some nice things to say about it. Some key points, nabbed from a translation over at NeoGAF, say that the system has a better viewing angle, better (more natural) 3D, a better grip and hand feel, and a lighter weight than initially expected. I'm also happy to hear that 2D looks better than the standard 3DS, and that the overall image quality is better. In a word, better.

Artist Elayna Toby Singer invites everyone to "be a part of the movement" during Kinetic Intentions community art project
On Sunday, September 18, from 3 pm until 4:30 pm, the public is invited to enjoy the first free workshop offered by Elayna Toby Singer as a part of Kinetic Intentions, a community-wide art project that features mobile-making using recycled seed pods from Florida's threatened Mahogany trees. The interactive workshop focuses on the process of achieving personal and environmental balance while mastering the challenges of mobile-making.
Inspired by the Tibetan Prayer Flag tradition, participants will also write their own personal and environmental intentions onto ribbons. Conceived, designed and facilitated by Singer, each mobile and intention ribbon will become part of the largest temporary, kinetic tree installation in Palm Beach County, creating an outdoor curtained "room" of moving art during the Boynton Beach 2017 International Kinetic Art Exhibit and Symposium taking place February 3 – 5.

Elevation: 14,421 / 14,340 / 14,300 / 14,169 feet
Mileage: 9.5 miles
Vertical Gain: 4,700 feet
Route: West Slopes to North Massive, traverse summit ridge, descent of Southwest Slopes
July 9th, 2005
Mt. Massive is located just outside of Leadville and is the 2nd highest Colorado 14er falling just 12 feet short of Mt. Elbert. The North Halfmoon Creek Trailhead access the backside of Mt. Massive which is one of the most enjoyable areas I've encountered on a 14er. There is a steep scree slope towards the end which is probably what discourages most people from taking this route, but the scenery definitely makes up for it. This side of the mountain receives much less traffic than the standard route, so you most likely won't encounter anybody until the summit.

At the moment the first code listing (server_channel.py??) does not include or call anything in the other program listing but the other program imports server_channel. I'd do this the other way round.
Inside server_channel.py do the following things
import irc_connection
create an instance of the IRC_Server class
open gui.
When the enter button is pressed, call a function which calls a method of the IRC_Server instance passing the value of the entry box as a parameter.
I'll try to create a simple example and post it here.

Graduating college and starting a new life on your own is a scary time. If you're like most students, you already have debt, and you certainly don't have piles of cash sitting around for you to splurge on a nice apartment, high-end furniture, and fancy work clothes yet. If you're lucky enough to have a job lined up, your future is a bit more secure and there is less risk involved, but that's no reason to become complacent about your finances.
Let me tell you a story about a girl I knew in college. She had a great job lined up with a nice salary, so when she left school, she got a credit card with a 12 month introductory 0% APR. She figured she could put all of her "necessities" – a security deposit on a nice apartment, an apartment full of furniture, and work clothes – on her credit card, and pay them off interest-free over the course of the year with her new salary.

Democrat John Dingell is a U.S. congressman, representing Michigan's 12th district. He has been in the House of Representatives for six decades, and he wielded significant power in the House as the chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee before losing his chairmanship in 2008.
He is also brilliant at Twitter.
Yes, it's a minor accolade, but an important one. Despite the obsession with Twitter among Washington's political elite, elected representatives (and parties) seem to be disastrously bad at it. But Dingell, somehow, seems to get it.
Here's all the proof you need, in a response to a spammy Kardashian auto-tweet from some poor EPA communications staffer on an official agency account:
This isn't even Dingell's best: Consider his timely channeling of LeBron James when announcing his return to Michigan over the weekend:
Or this bad boy:
John Dingell, you are a national treasure.

Mark Levin, so kind to share his constitutional misinterpretation on Facebook is another one of those so-called 'Conservatives' who has a self-proclaimed mission to 'defend the Constitution'. Of course, the version of the Constitution he champions needs to conform to certain Neo-Conservative tenets, one of which is 'never waste a chance to drop bombs on a predominantly Islamic middle-eastern nation even without a required Congressional declaration of war'.
To argue his case, Levin attempts to deflect attention from his mutated interpretation of the Constitution by blaming the Founders for not being explicit enough for him:
"Why didn't the Framers explicitly require the president to seek approval from Congress before engaging in all acts of war, and enumerate such power in Congress? If they granted the president, as commander-in-chief, the power to only repel military acts against the nation without congressional authority, why did they not enumerate that? What of offensive military actions taken to prevent imminent threats? What of covert operations for that matter, or extended wars fought over decades but mostly through surrogates (such as the Cold War)? What must be declared and when?"
Mr. Levin, which part of what James Madison says here is difficult for you to understand ?
The Constitution expressly and exclusively vests in the Legislature the power of declaring a state of war . . . the power of raising armies . . . the power of creating offices. . . .
A delegation of such powers [to the President] would have struck, not only at the fabric of our Constitution, but at the foundation of all well organized and well checked governments.
The separation of the power of declaring war from that of conducting it, is wisely contrived to exclude the danger of its being declared for the sake of its being conducted.
The separation of the power of raising armies from the power of commanding them, is intended to prevent the raising of armies for the sake of commanding them. – James Madison
"The constitution supposes, what the history of all governments demonstrates, that the executive is the branch of power most interested in war, and most prone to it. It has accordingly with studied care vested the question of war in the legislature." – James Madison
"The executive has no right, in any case, to decide the question, whether there is or is not cause for declaring war." – James Madison
In fact, it's difficult to see how the Constitution could be anymore unambigious. Article I, Section 8 of the document clearly states that it is solely a Congressional function 'To declare War'. Article II, Section I defines the President as 'Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States'….when called into the actual Service of the United States.
Well, maybe James Madison was simply an impractical idealist, are there any other framers with opinions on the subject? Why yes, glad you asked, it appears that the specific assignment of the declaration of war power to Congress is not incidental, and was specifically contemplated by the Founders:
The Constitution and Libya – Michael Ramsey
As President, Washington on several occasions said that he could not undertake offensive military actions without Congress' approval.
Hamilton is especially significant, because his views on the need for a strong executive went far beyond those of his contemporaries. Yet Hamilton made it very clear that he read the Constitution not to allow the President to begin a war – as he put it at one point, "it belongs to Congress only, to go to war."
James Wilson told the Pennsylvania ratifying convention that ''this system will not hurry us into war; it is calculated to guard against it. It will not be in the power of a single man, or a single body of men, to involve us in such distress; for the important power in declaring war is vested in the legislature at large.''
Levin then goes on to further obfuscate the declaration of war question:
'When members of Congress vote to fund these activities, they are giving their formal, official consent to the operations. More than voting to declare war, they are actually voting to fund war — all kinds of war…..What of military operations launched by a president where the president uses funds already appropriated by Congress before the operations began, but which were approved for general national security purposes — that is, where Congress has not actually voted on funding a particular operation…'
ZZZZZZZZZZ……Yes Mr. Levin, if your hypothetical war is for the purpose of EXPEDIENTLY DEFENDING THE UNITED STATES, then the historical precedent suggests that the President has the latitude to initiate military action. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ARBITRAY ACTIONS OF AN OFFENSIVE NATURE, OR IN SITUATIONS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DIRECT DEFENSE OF NATIONAL INTERESTS.
For example, in 1801, Thomas Jefferson used his executive authority to defend American ships against Barbary Pirates in the Bey of Tripoli without express Congressional approval. In this case, we had an emergency situation, where a foreign force had initiated hostility against American interests. The action was purely defensive in nature, and Jefferson acknowledged that he was "unauthorized by the Constitution, without the sanction of Congress, to go beyond the line of defense."
So, it's a very simple formula…..let's try a quiz !
- In which case may the President mobilize a military operation without the consent of Congress ?
1) An emergency situation which demands the immediate defense of U.S. citizens and/or preservation of the union ?
2) Bombing a third world nation that appears to be embroiled in a civil war, where the outcome is completely unrelated to the defense of the United States ?
DING DING, the correct answer is of course #1, See how easy that is you blustering, blabbering Neo-Con-artist?

Latrobe Festival and fireworks to celebrate Steelers' scrimmage
Latrobe plans to celebrate the Steelers' scrimmage at Latrobe's Memorial Stadium on Aug. 3 with a communitywide festival billed as a free, fan-friendly experience to celebrate the franchise's Super Bowl victories.
"This is a really big deal. With the Rooneys providing the draw — America's best football franchise — plus fireworks at the end of the night. All we need to do is roll out the red carpet and have an all-day Steeler Party to showcase one of America's best small towns," city Manager Alex Graziani said.
St. Vincent College officials will discuss their plans for Steelers training camp during a news conference Tuesday at the Unity campus.
Players will arrive July 25. The first practice open to the public will be July 27, the last on Aug. 17.
Before the game on Aug. 3, the gates to the stadium at Legion Keener Park will open at 5 p.m., with the country-western band Saddle Up performing from 5 to 6:15 p.m.
The Steelers are expected to arrive at the stadium between 6:30 and 6:45, and sign autographs before the scrimmage begins at 7, said Mark Mears, Greater Latrobe School District athletic director.
After a two-hour practice, fans will be treated to fireworks by Zambelli Fireworks Internationale of New Castle, Mears said.
Members of the Steeler Nation, who can be seen at all the games away from Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, will travel to Latrobe as well.
"There are so many people from other states who are coming in. We have mailed tickets to people in New York, Ohio and South Carolina. We had people come from the state of California last year," Mears said.
With such an attraction drawing out-of-town visitors, officials with the city, the Greater Latrobe School District and the Steelers decided to entertain the fans with Latrobe Steeler Fest, which will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. along Memorial Drive near the stadium.
The Steeler faithful will have the opportunity to stroll down memory lane in the "Great Hall," the traveling Hall of Fame trailer that features the team's six Super Bowl trophies — more than any other NFL franchise.
Much of the Steeler Experience that will be at training camp at nearby St. Vincent will be transported to the Latrobe Steeler Fest, giving fans the opportunity to show how well they throw and kick a football and run.
Fans will be able to try scaling a 24-foot Venture Outdoor Climbing Wall.
The fans coming to the festival will be able to buy official team merchandise before the scrimmage.
Food and drinks will be available from vendors outside the stadium.
"I envision a day, like the one I just witnessed for the Fourth of July," when families come back to visit family and friends, Graziani said.
The Steeler Fest is being promoted as an opportunity for merchants to hold special promotions and sidewalk sales.
The city is encouraging residents, particularly those living near Legion Keener Park, to hold yard sales.
"Imagine the Steelers gear, not to mention all the Rolling Rock memorabilia, people have in their attics!" Graziani said.
The school district, which operates Memorial Stadium, has been busy preparing the field to the Steelers specifications, said Kevin Yandrick, a school district maintenance employee at the stadium.
Crews have fertilized and watered the field, rolled it to keep it level and cut the grass to 1 3⁄4 inches, Yandrick said.
A representative from the Steelers' ground crew at Heinz Field has checked the condition of Latrobe's field to make sure it meets National Football League standards, he said.
Ticket sales for the scrimmage will begin at noon to reduce the possibility of long lines when the gates open at 5 p.m.
Tickets will cost $5 for adults and $2 for senior citizens older than 65 and students younger than 18.

So apparently, Rhamy Payne of Cross-Up fame nominated me for an internet award. Now, awards are generally good things to have and I wanted it, so I felt like I had to earn it, so he asked me to answer 11 questions.
I did my best to answer them in as serious a manner as I could possibly muster. Here goes:
1) Surprise! You're a superhero. What's your superpower?
The power to manipulate the planet's biosphere like a god. I would then use this power to solve world hunger and restore the balance between man and nature.
Did that make you feel like a selfish asshole, because you picked flight? Okay then, how about winning at everything forever. Games, bets, arguments, war, love, sports, marriages, arson, art.
2) As a corollary to the above, are you a hero or a villain?
Guess I'd start off as a hero but I'd pretty soon find myself abusing my power for my personal benefit. I'd start off nice and innocent; a streak of wins in Vegas here, a gold medal in every Olympic event ever, a harem of women stalking me and seeking my attention, an autobiography.
But pretty soon, before you knew it, I would use this power to force people to do my bidding. If you win every argument, pretty soon you can start making ridiculous claims and proving them. Yes, it's a perfectly good idea to give me all your money. Why yes, mister President, I bet you it would be delightful if you gave me the nuclear launch codes. What's that, CEOs of every successful company on the globe? You actually think it would be great if you handed over every patent and thing you owned? Why thank you, I'm honored!
I'd end up keeping the world hostage and pretty soon people wouldn't talk to me or shoot me to the moon with a gag on my mouth, just so I'd go away and stop stirring shit up.
3) As a corollary to the corollary, what's your catch phrase? Some variant of
"It's clobberin' time," perhaps?
Wears sunglasses "Trust me, I got this".
4) Have you ever been in a fight?
Yes. And I would have lost too, had I not kicked my opponent in the 'nads.
5) Have you ever had (or still have -- not that anyone's judging) an imaginary friend?
No. But I pretended I had one, due to peer pressure. I called him Slimy Tony and he was made out of a magical radioactive slime (yes, slime can possess both properties at the same time) and he could change shape or slide between sewer gratings.
6) You hear that there's an ancient treasure, and you narrow down the location to two places: a deep jungle, or a mountain summit. You only have the resources for one expedition. Where do you go?
Mountain Summit. There's a reason they call jungles "green hells".
7) And now you're in an RPG! You have a choice of being a fighter, a mage, or a thief. What do you choose, and why?
=eh's a pretty cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything.
Fighters go first into the fray, they soak up the damage the puny weaklings that consist the rest of the party can't take, plus they got swords and get to beat the living crap out of their opponents with their own hands!
Also, I couldn't be arsed to learn a bunch of spells.
8) You can have your dream machine -- a new computer, a rocket car, jetpack, personalized mech, etc. -- delivered to you by tomorrow morning. What do you want?
Portal gun that works on every surface, with unlimited portals and preprogrammed destinations. Why the hell do you even have to ask?
10) You have the power to resurrect any canceled/finished TV show, with the original cast and writing that's better than ever. What do you revive?
The Twilight Zone. Cast is unimportant, but if I can get Harlan Elisson and the rest of the writing legends to write at least another season, then I can die a happy man.
11) You've been struck by lightning! Oh nutbunnies! What are (presumably) your last words?
"I can see it! I can see it all! Oh dear God, it's worse than we thou-" dies.
12) And just to close out on a curveball, what's your dream?
You mean besides becoming a children's books writer professionally and living to see the day when actual, honest to god superheroes roam the Earth?
I guess it's knowing that my kids get to do these things.

God, I'm ready for some warm weather, sun, sea and sand...
These were roughed out on cartridge paper in blue, very choppy, then cleaned up in blue and light-box-traced onto a clean piece of cartridge with a HB technical pencil. Hopefully you can't tell the difference between this and an ink line, which I usually use.
I fine I draw much more freely and my lines are more organic when I use a pencil. I worry about cock ups with ink and I can put a bit more pressure on the pencil without fear of snapping a nib.
Let me know what you think about my pencil lines over the ink.
Cheers for now
