Well done article.
jaredhinton reacted to a post in a topic: Confusing Part Numbers-How to find on Lego.com
Wow! Thank you so much for the in-depth explanation. I understand now. Seriously, you couldn't have explained it any better. I guess my confusion comes from searching the Element ID on Lego.com, I couldn't find the part. The search produced 0 parts. Could it be that they no longer have that part? The Brick Owl wishlist was quite concise in its descriptions and part numbers and I had no problem ordering the wishlist through Brick Owl and it's subsidiaries. I look at this as a stepping stone to bigger and better Lego sets. (although the Falcon is the biggest one the make so far) Haha. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with me. I truly appreciate it.
Confusing Part Numbers-How to find on Lego.com
Voyager01 posted a topic in Other DataHello. I am pretty new to Legos and recently purchased the Millennium Falcon (75192), the Efferman stand and a light kit from Light My Bricks. I'm just about to start step five of the Falcon (after attaching the Efferman stand). It appears that I have a few parts extra and I would like to list the parts. I am unsure of the element ID vs the design ID vs parts on the Lego site: https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-a-Brick#shopxlink I was wondering if anyone here would mind explaining how to best identify parts. Below is an example of what I mean. There are multiple design ID's, a BOID number (no idea), and when I go to look this up on Lego.com, no results. Do they not list some parts there? Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Efferman's Vertical Stand for Millennium Falcon 75192 - MOC-10219
Voyager01 replied to Supposta's topic in MOC DiscussionsI just bought this stand and assembled it. I'm only at stage 4 in the Millennium falcon build and stopped to assemble and attach the stand. I finished the stand yesterday but haven't had time to assemble it. I read that it's easiest to build the Falcon around the stand at stage 4. This is my first MOC and it's a good one. The Falcon is my first Lego set as well. I also purchased a lighting kit from light my brick but it will be a while before I get to install that.

Two of my passions are child health and statistics. So I look forward to mid-September every year, to the day when UNICEF reports how many fewer children died the previous year.
Every single year—for at least the last 50 years—the number has gone down. Every. Single. Year.
I challenge you to name something else that gets better on that kind of schedule. The stock market goes up and down. Sprinters keep getting faster, but they don't set new records every year. The 100 meter record set in 1968 didn't get broken until 1983.
Meanwhile, the child mortality record set in 1968 got broken in 1969. And 1970. And 1971. And so on.
Keep in mind that we're talking about the most important statistic in the world—who is alive.
This year, the number is 6.6 million. That's 300,000 fewer children dying than last year. To give a longer view, that's 6 million fewer than 1990.
The report is very important from a policy perspective. It tells us which children are still dying and what they're dying from. For example, the report shows that adolescent mothers are more likely to give birth to premature babies (and are also at a greater risk of experiencing life-threatening complications). It also indicates we still have work to do delivering two relatively new vaccines for diarrhea and pneumonia, because they're still the leading causes of death among children. And it proves we have to pay more attention to newborn health, because as we get better at saving older children a greater proportion of mortality happens in the first month of a baby's life.
The report will lead to important conversations about how to make sure health systems deliver all this lifesaving care in a single, integrated package that reaches all families at all stages of life.
But before we move on to the detailed conversations about how to get the number even lower next year, let's celebrate the beautiful, simple fact that it's lower again this year. Let's celebrate this new world record in the most important category there is.

Fun Facts About Turkeys
Now that Halloween is behind us, chances are, you're starting to think about Thanksgiving, which is just a couple of weeks away (WHAT?!). We make turkey-inspired crafts, we contemplate whether or not to brine, and we look forward to turkey leftovers. But, there's more to the turkey than just serving as the Thanksgiving centerpiece. Dazzle your Thanksgiving guests with these fun facts about turkeys.
1. Turkeys nearly vanished from our borders
Anyone who has had a run-in with a wild turkey may find it hard to believe that this now common-place bird almost vanished from our borders. From the early 1900s to the early 1970s, you'd be hard-pressed to hear that familiar gobble-gobble in Massachusetts. This was too much for some people to bear, and in 1972, the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (now known as Mass Wildlife) released 37 wild turkeys from New York to Berkshire County with the hope that they would stick around and multiply. It worked! In less than 50 years, this bird has gone from being locally extinct to living statewide in Massachusetts.
2. At least one (really famous) person considered the turkey a national treasure
Benjamin Franklin was so enamored with the wild turkey that he thought it would be a far better choice as America's national bird rather than the bald eagle.
3. Different turkeys have different names
Toms are males, hens are females, babies are poults, and young turkeys are jakes.
4. Male turkeys want to feel the love
When a tom wants to attract a hen, they literally strut their stuff by displaying their back feathers, puffing out their chests, and letting out a gobble-gobble. But before you think, "how romantic," know that a tom will court many hens each season.
5. Turkeys feel the need for speed
Turkeys are surprisingly fast. They can run up to 25 mph and fly up to 55 mph (though only for short distances). In fact, these large birds spend their nights (i.e., roost) high up in the treetops.
6. A very famous bird wears turkey feathers
Chances are the turkey you eat had white feathers as opposed to the brown ones seen on the wild turkeys roaming around. And about those feathers...Big Bird, while not a turkey, is covered with white turkey feathers dyed yellow.

SO FAR I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF INTERVIEWING A WHOLE BUNCH OF LOVELY PEOPLE, AND THIS BONA FIDE LOCAL LEDGE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTION. HIS SOUND ENGINEERING WORK HAS TOUCHED THOUSANDS OF NOVACASTRIAN SOULS, AND HIS MUSIC HAS BEEN HEARD IN PLACES ALL OVER THE WORLD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, GROTS AND GIRLS, GIVE IT UP FOR MR HUGH GORDON!!! *Insert hyped applause*
Our good friend Hugh has been kicking around the music scene since the time when fluffy mullets and high-vis tracksuits were more than just your boyfriend's Groovin the Moo attire.
'I've been in the music industry since the early 80s. I did my first professional gig in 1980 at the Family Hotel in Newcastle,' he said. 'I was a full-time professional musician playing music as a performer through the 90s and the early 2000s. I worked playing cover music… Then I also set up a little recording studio in the community arts centre, which I've had for quite a number of years.'
Growing up, Hugh had a keen interest in music and performing, but he wasn't automatically sold on the whole 'struggling muso' career path.
'I wasn't sure if I was going to make a full-time living out of it,' he chuckled. 'I studied primary school teaching, and then I just found that what I loved doing was music, so that's what I did.'
While studying at the University of Newcastle, Hugh somehow managed to snag himself the honorary position of President for the Student Union. He also turns out to be the bloke you should thank for between-class-bevvies.
'The year that I was President was actually the year we built Bar on the Hill. So I put the bar in Bar on the Hill,' he laughed. 'And through that time I was playing in bands and doing music as well.'
As well as dishing out his sik prez skillz and strumming the nylon strings, Hugh began dabbling in a bit of sound engineering work, which opened him up to the industry even more.
'I did a short course,' he said. 'I'd been doing sound engineering for a number of years, but the course actually showed me why the things I was doing worked well, and honed my skills.'
Shortly after, Hugh's career took a pretty fantastic turn. If you thought the Bar on the Hill thing was cool, you better hold on to your Fender strap bro, 'cause Hugh used to get paid to play gigs IN THE GODDAMN ALPS.
'There was a bit of a tradition of soloists and duos from Newcastle performing in a few of the Austrian ski villages, so I followed up a few contacts and landed a four-month residency in a town called Kitzbühel in Austria,' he explained. 'Then I met people and went to Crete in Greece, and worked in the summer resorts there… I went back to Austria and to Scandinavia, worked up there for another eight months, and then went back to Austria again. The travelling and the music were lots of fun. I really enjoyed it!'
Ahh yes, the hills are alive with the sound of Hugh Gordon! (And also the sound of me melting into the carpet after making that culturally significant yet embarrassingly atrocious joke.)
As you can imagine, Hugh's big overseas adventure provided him with a bucketload of wonderful memories, some of which apparently also involved a bucketload of traditional European alcohol.
'I met lots of amazing people and wrote music with lots of people, and I still have friends that I keep in contact with. One of my weirdest nights was when it was near the end of the season – they were closing down one of the huts and they were like, "Oh, come in and have a drink!"' he laughed. 'I had to go to work, and I couldn't talk very clearly between the songs… Then when I'd finished my first set and I went up to play my second set, I couldn't remember what I'd played… Too many schnapps!'
These days, when he isn't smashing down sevens full of hard German liquor, Hugh is running lunchtime gigs at UoN and providing stellar entertainment for various educational events, including Stress Less Week and the Annual Uni Grog-Fest (aka Autonomy Day). He also organises the sound dudes down at the Lass.
'When I came back from overseas, I started doing some sound engineering work again at the University. I played some gigs there, and as I was doing that they went through a few changes,' he said. 'I realised that we were actually paying a lot of money for not very good acts…. So as well as sound engineering, I started to organise the lunchtime entertainment acts too, and help the clubs and societies with their events. Now I have a full-time job.'
He's also heavily involved with student musos, helping local talented youngsters find their feet in the relentlessly hectic music industry mosh pit.
'I'm now in a position where I can encourage other performers, and give them the chance to find their passion,' he explained. 'I understand education and teaching some of those skills… But I definitely found that my passion is more working with young musicians and helping them.'
According to Hugh, Newcastle is fricken' overflowing with grouse musical acts, which doesn't really come as a surprise because obvs Newy is the dopest place in Oz. However, he does point out that there is a noticeable lack of professional representation available for young bands.
'I enjoy being a part of the music scene in Newcastle. I think it's lively, I think there are lots of different styles of music going on, and in the original music scene there are lots of talented musicians,' he asserted. 'But finding the managers that can help promote the young artists is the hard part. There's a bit of a shortage of that.'
During his career, Hugh has had to overcome a number of big-ass boulders, including the tragic death of his father and the woes of self-employment.
'Particularly as a performer, I booked myself independently, so I had to always find my own work,' he said. 'Trying to pay the mortgage and do that sort of stuff… That was a big challenge. And often the times I could go out and play gigs were the times people wanted me in the recording studio… So yeah, just juggling the times was difficult.'
But in the end, he still bloody loves what he does. 'It's a privilege to be able to be a part of it and to still be working in it. It's great.'
I think we can all agree that Hugh's time in the music industry has definitely earned him a spot on the Invisible Newcastle Walk of Wonderfulness. And just quickly, before you head off to do 'more important' things with your life, our new best friend has some parting wisdom for all you tune-making chums out there: 'Just follow your passion and hone your skills, and care about it, because every time you perform, you never know who's listening!'
You are a truly glorious human, Gordo! Keep neckin' those schnapps, mate – you deserve 'em.

I wanted to write this post to provide some context to a couple of very special maps I intend to share over the next few weeks. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and maps to me are always worth many more. Words often appear on maps to label particular features and provide important contextual information- they often provide the depth that can keep you staring at a map for hours. In some cases, however, the words themselves provide the features of interest making the points, lines and polygons buy cipro cheap online that we expect on maps superfluous. Maps with only words, known as "Typographic Maps", are becoming increasingly popular. I have included my 5 favourites below.
For sheer cartographic brilliance: axismaps' San Francisco Typographic Map
For a more artistic take on the concept: Stephen Walter's 'The Island'.
For promoting world trade: Av Browne's Trade Mission Typographic Maps
Lots of typographic maps of the world exist. I think this one from typomaps.net is the best.
Last (but not least). This great map called "Wanderwort" shows the use of German words around the world.

7 beauty essentials for a perfect Valentine's Day
…. And for all other days too – the look of love (think naturally flushed) is wonderfully universal – just befriend blusher and keep your brows shipshape.
For a dewy, more natural-looking flush, cream blusher is the way to go, mainly because it literally melts into your skin and is easier to control. Apply a thin layer right after foundation using your fingers (the heat nicely disperses the colour) or a brush, if you prefer. Make sure to buff out any edges and build, if necessary. If you've applied too much blusher, just go over the area with the brush you used for foundation or bounce a sponge off it.
QUICK TIP: For those with oily skin or who want a few more hours wear, set your cream blush with a corresponding powder blush.
You've worked so hard perfecting that base and blush so you'll obviously want to lock it all in with setting powder. A translucent shade doesn't mess with the colour underneath, instead it keeps unwanted shine at bay. Using a brush, lightly press the powder into the skin (not just feathered on), concentrating on the areas where oil breaks through first (normally the T-zone).
QUICK TIP: If you look too powdery, mist your face with water or, if you prefer, an actual facial mist to take down some of the excess powderiness.
With blusher the focus, all you really need as accompaniment is a set of well-groomed brows. While we're all getting better at shaping our brows, for those extra-fine hairs, hard-to-get short hairs or – gasp! – ingrown ones, only a pair of pointed tweezers will do. Just be careful not to pluck the skin instead of the hair!
QUICK TIP: For those into nail art, pointed tweezers are also perfect for picking up small rhinestones or decals.
For yours-but-better brows, a precision eyebrow pencil with a fine-tipped nib and smudge-proof formula will create the most natural illusion of brow hairs. You'll be able to shape, fill and plump out even the sparsest of brows with just a few strokes (no sharpener needed, either!), blended to perfection with the brush on the other end.
QUICK TIP: Use short, upwards strokes in the direction of hair growth. Fill in any gaps and extend where necessary. And try to do all this in good lighting!
Needless to say, the look of love should include soft, kissable lips. A jumbo moisturising lipstick pencil in a neutral shade not only means you'll be safe from dried out lips, but also that you can skip the separate lip liner for an overall softer and more approachable appearance. Luscious pinks or peaches are very alluring, too.
QUICK TIP: A rounded tip offers the prettiest definition so don't go too crazy with the sharpener.
When you want a goes-with-everything nail colour but with a little extra oomph, a subtle holographic pearl is the answer. While practise ultimately makes perfect, the trick to painting nails with your non-dominant hand is to keep the brush in one place and move your dominant hand back and forth when applying the three strokes of varnish (centre and either side) to each nail.
QUICK TIP: You can also play around with the pearl and layer it over really vivid colours to make a totally unique shade.
You look the part, but don't underestimate the power of smell, too. With a warm, spicy mix of cinnamon, violet and amber, this one is sure to entice. And in solid perfume form, it's more concentrated and longer-lasting than the spray counterpart. Plus, you have greater control over the exact placement and how much to apply.
QUICK TIP: The handy tin is marvellously portable – throw it in your handbag or makeup bag and top up when necessary or when you just a scented pick-me-up.

You have heard it before. Milk is wonderful! It makes great bath soaks, tub teas, bath bombs and soaps! Our powdered milk is fine grain powder and fat free. It will instantly mix with any water so don't worry about long soaking periods.
For soap makers: try adding the milk powder to your water and lye mixture. You can add this during mixing but please make sure the powder will completely mix into the soap before pouring into the mold. You don't want any surprises of dry powder in the finished bar. I would suggest making a thickened milk paste by adding a small amount of water to the powder and then adding that to your soap.
Bath salts, bombs, teas and more: add the powder just like you would any starch. I like to add the milk powder to the tea bags along with oatmeal. What a wonderful bath awaits!

The project idea was straightforward: we wanted students to interview people that followed their passions, took the unconventional path, or decided to work in service of the greater good of an SF-based community. Audio recordings of these interviews would then get transformed into radio story profiles of our interviewees. The resulting podcast stories were just as important as students finding a well-matched interviewee: someone who does that thing the students personally care about, as a way to connect with their own passions and learn from their example.
We started by asking students "what are you passionate about?" or if not passion, "what are you curious about?"
We then asked them to seek out non-profits, companies, or professionals who do these things in their day-to-day lives, to reach out to them, and find someone specific to interview.
This project stretched out over six weeks and every workshop started with listening to a radio story. We dissect them; pulling apart what was the best parts and the hidden structures of the start or ending to the story.
Each workshop built specific skills and provided tools for students to use in the completion of the work due at the start of the proceeding workshop.
Our Final Podcasts:
Our students interviewed so many fascinating people: a local artist/advocate, the Chief Medical Examiner of SF, an experimental musician, a suicide prevention counselor, a professional treehouse builder, and more. Then through lessons, peer and collaborator critique, and hours of effort, the students produced the following series of radio stories.
We've collected them here as the Passion Podcast Project. Listen below or Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes!

Urban Doan - Contestant
Inducted - November 15, 1986
Urban Doan
Urban was born September 23, 1906 in a log cabin north of Halkirk, Alberta near Battle River. He first entered as a contestant in 1923 at the Battle River Stampede. He went on to compete in Canada and U.S.A. for more than 20 years.
He won the bareback riding at the Calgary Stampede in 1938, and the steer riding in 1939. It was in 1939 that he severely injured his knee while participating in the steer wrestling at Swift Current, and never quite returned to his original form, as his knee kept popping out of joint.
Because of his injury, Urban was forced to retire in 1943, but before he did, he took with him second in the 1941 Canadian Championship Bucking Horse Riding and in 1942 and 1943 he took first in the same event.
Urban traveled everywhere around the country with his many cowboy friends, who greatly admired him and enjoyed his company going down the road.
At the first annual meeting of the Canadian Cowboys Protective Association in July of 1945, Urban was the Representative of Central Alberta, and was a strong supporter of the organization.
Urban passed away on August 12, 1965 and is buried in the Galahad cemetery. In 1966 the Rodeo Cowboys erected a granite marker at the foot of his grave to depict that he was one of the outstanding contestants of his time.
Pat Burton - Contestant
Inducted - July 7, 1986
Pat Burton
When it comes to ropers, Pat Burton stands out among the best. Pat was born in 1907 in the Porcupine Hills just west of Claresholm, Alberta.
Pat won more Calf Roping Championships at the Calgary Stampede than any other roper in the long history of the show. In 1932 Pat entered in the Canadian Roping at Calgary for the first time and he placed first. In 1933 Pat won both the Canadian and North American Calf Roping Championship events. In 1935 he repeated this achievement and continued on to win the Canadian Championship in 1937, 1940 and 1942.
Being one of five boys in his family, Pat learned to ride and rope at an early age. He used a palomino horse that his brother, Fred, had raised and trained as a rope horse. Pat realized that a great deal of credit must go to his horse as well as to his own roping ability.
Through this era of roping, Pat, as well as all the cowboys at that time, used the dally roping method, which was considered more difficult than the tied roping method, which is used today.
Pat started to slow down in the mid 1940's and ranching and race horses became his past time. He passed away in Calgary in 1977.
Albert Galarneau - Contestant
Inducted - November 15, 1986
Albert Galarneau
The rodeo fever got a hold of Albert in 1931 when he entered his first rodeo in Calgary, in the Boys steer riding. In 1932 he entered Calgary again but in the calf roping, and he made it to the pay window for the first time. A cowboy boot salesman from across the border told Albert to keep roping, he would be a champion someday.
With this encouragement, Albert set his sights on a Championship and nothing short of it. In 1934 he entered Calgary in the Saddle Bronc event as well as roping, but calf roping, he thought, was his better event and he later dropped the saddle bronc event.
The first trophy he ever won, a silver buckle, was in 1936 at the Sundre Rodeo.
In 1937 he won the North American calf roping championship at Calgary on his horse, Ireland the following year, 1938, he was first in the Canadian calf roping and second in the North American calf roping. His last championship in Calgary was in 1946 with the North American calf roping award, for this he received one of the famous Charlie Biel Trophies. Over the years he won several gold watches and he says they are all still working.
In 1945 he won the Saskatchewan circuit Calf Roping title
Albert has competed for 20 years and was well known at all rodeos around the Central part of Alberta such as Hand Hills, Coronation, Brooks, Bassano, Dorothy, Ponoka . Wherever there was a rodeo Albert was likely there.
In 1941 he acquired his first ranch, the present Calgary Stampede Ranch. He now ranches in the Youngstown and Hanna area raising cattle and heavy horses along with attending his share of rodeos.
In 1978 Albert was among a small group of old time cowboys honored as "Pioneer of Rodeo" at The Calgary Stampede.
Gib Potter - Builder
Inducted - July 8, 1986
Gib Potter
Gib Potter was born in 1906 and has fond memories of an active and well-spent youth. From his late teens into his early 20's, Gib toured North America as a professional trick roper and rider in some of the top wild west shows and rodeos of the 1920's. By 1925, he was a regular on the prairie stampede circuits, including the Calgary Stampede, where in 1927 he acquired one of his most precious memories, when he captured the last Canadian Trick and Fancy Rope Championship title ever held in this country.
At the time, the 21-year-old Potter was in the prime of his career. He could do somersault catches; spin a loop, jump in the air and do a flip through the loop, then throw the lariat, catching a passing horse by the feet, without tripping the animal. He would also rope a horse while standing on his head on his saddle. Another stunt he perfected was to simultaneously lasso six galloping horses around their collective torsos.
In 1940 he met and married an attractive speed skater named Margaret Buchanan, who he taught to ride, and throughout the 1940's and 1950's the Potters performed together as a team.
Midway through the Second World War, in 1942, Gib joined the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve. He was stationed in Halifax, where he entertained for his fellow sailors. During this period he began to do cartoons for navy publications on a regular basis. After the war, he continued his drawing, freelancing cartoons to a variety of publications, including rodeo magazines in Calgary, Fort Worth and even Australia.
Gib was, at various times, chairman of the Saskatoon Light Horse Show, President of the Saskatchewan Cutting Horse Association, president of the Saskatoon Riding Club and chairman of the Saskatoon rodeo from 1960 to 1980.
Sykes Robinson - Contestant
Inducted - November 15, 1986
Sykes Robinson
Sykes Robinson was born June 27, 1904, and was raised at Jumping Pound, Alberta. As a kid he liked to work with horses, putting up ice in the winters and working as a pony boy at Banff in the summer.
He won the Saddle Bronc event at the local Jumping Pound Stampede at the age of 18. That is where he got the rodeo bug.
In 1923, Sykes worked as a cowhand at Jenner, Alberta and also broke horses. It was during these years that Sykes competed at all the rodeos in Alberta. At one time or another he won every rodeo but Lethbridge. "I never could make money in that town." Sykes used to chuckle.
In 1923 he also took second at Medicine Hat. Then in 1927 Pete Knight and Sykes split first in Vancouver. From Vancouver he went to Ottawa and took top money, $600.00 in the bronc riding on Midnight. Back in Calgary in 1928 he placed second in the North American Saddle Bronc and won a pair of gold and silver spurs. He went on to compete at Madison Square Gardens riding 19 bulls in 19 days, to win the event. Jack Dempsey presented him with a gold pocket watch.
Sykes rode at Calgary from 1923 to 1941, but 1939 was the big year. That was the year he won the Canadian Championship. The Prince of Wales presented him with a beautiful trophy and an engraved silver cigarette case.
As time went on, Sykes went into a Senior Citizen's Lodge in Calgary. His eyes would light up when he talked about rodeo, and when he remembered his buddies of years ago. At the lodge nobody called him "Mr. Robinson", they just called him "The Cowboy". Sykes passed away January 10, 1978 at the age of 73.
Lorne Thompson - Contestant/ Builder
Inducted - July 25, 1986
Lorne Thompson
Lorne Thompson was born on September 13, 1906, in Grandview, Manitoba. His family moved to the Medicine Hat area and homesteaded east of Pashley.
In 1927 Lorne started entering rodeos, his first win was at Maklin, Saskatchewan and his next win came at Lusland, Saskatchewan where he won a pony. He definitely had been bitten by the rodeo bug. He sold the pony for $25 and hocked his suit and entered the Calgary Stampede with the money. He won $75 day money in the North American Bronc Riding and reclaimed his suit!
He went on to Saskatoon and got a job with a Wild West Show for $15 per week, riding up to ten broncs per day. The wild west show went to Winnipeg, Port Arthur and Toronto. At Toronto the show had 24 performances from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight. Lorne rode a bronc at each show. A leg injury caused him to return home to the west.
Lorne continued to rodeo and placed consistently in the Bronc Riding, Steer Riding and Wild Horse Race until 1936. In 1934 he married Gladys Mayberry and started working at the Medicine Hat Feed Lot during the winter. In 1945, Lorne and Jim Taylor purchased the feed lot.
A meeting forming the Medicine Hat Exhibition and Stampede saw Lorne appointed head of the Stampede Committee in 1947. Lorne spent many years directly involved in the preparation and presentation of the Stampede. During Lorne's Presidency of the Medicine Hat Stampede in 1971 to 1972, the race track and agricultural arcade were completed, evidence of his commitment and dedication to grounds improvement.
On July 16, 1981 the Cypress Center, the Exhibition and Stampede's new multi-purpose complex was officially opened and dedicated to Lorne Thompson. The dedication reads: "In recognition of his efforts in the community and especially his contributions to our Exhibition and Stampede."

Vandergrift, who was sometimes called the ageless wonder, was asked by a fellow competitor just how old he was. Cliff smiled and remarked, "One year younger than Jack Benny."
Cliff was the president of the C.P.A. from 1954 to 1956. This was a growing period for the association and his strong leadership abilities were an asset. They say Cliff spoke his opinion and was proud of his opinion, he never mellowed with age. Vandergrift never quit competing, he was an active Team Roper right up until the day before he passed away. When he went to a rodeo he was always interested in every event.
Cliff Vandergrift passed away peacefully in his home in Turner Valley on March 17, 1991.

What is life, all about?
Having everything, then having knout.
As it happens, all the time,
To lots of people, you will find.
In many ways, more than one,
So be grateful, for what you've done.
Living it up, when you can,
Is the only, ultimate plan.
For one life, is what you got,
Even when, you think its not.
And remember, what is true,
Love your life, the way you do.
Let no one else, take control,
And you'll be on, an upward roll.
Because you know, what is right?
Only you can see the light.
Under your nose, or far away,
There's always a chance, you'll make it we say.
This blog has been set up to show Dr Geebers poetry rhymes. I am a man who was homeless and set out to change my life around creating poetry rhymes and creating Loose pebble sculptures on U.K. pebble beaches. I did the most unbelieveable journey ever and thats walk 6800 miles, created loose pebble sculptures and mosiacs on 40+ beaches, moving around 2000 tonnes of pebbles/stones to write a book about my journey. With the proceeds going to combat homelessness.

For the second consecutive week, I am pleased to focus on an amazing work of religion coverage from an unexpected platform: "Why On Earth Are So Many Millennials Becoming Nuns?" by Eve Fairbanks, writing for the Huffington Post longform section, Highline.
Her essay begins (disclosure of my bias) exactly the way I would expect a HuffPost article to begin, when dealing with a subject linked to a traditional form of faith.
It's all here — right down to the "scare" quotes in the predictable places. But the key word in that headline is "Millennial," a generation wrestling with some interesting hopes, fears and anxieties. Let's start here:
I went to a science magnet high school, graduating in 2001, but in my late 20s, I began to notice that some of my classmates were turning toward the Catholic faith. It surprised me: My high school was ostentatiously secular. We had a steel statue on the front lawn depicting the triumph of mathematical logic. Our senior class president wore a giant calculator costume to football games. When my government class held a mock debate over abortion, only two students out of 18 volunteered to argue the "pro-life" case. …
Catholicism seems especially out of step with contemporary American life. Protestantism easily accommodates rock bands and a personable, almost life coach-esque Jesus. But even liberal Catholic communities require submission to a gold-crowned pope who theologically can't be wrong (in certain circumstances) and who is chosen by a hundred-odd men — only men — who undergo a ritual of eating the literal body of Christ embedded in a cracker. To say the sex scandals didn't help is putting it mildly. A 2008 Pew Research Center study found that Catholicism lost more adherents in the late 20th century than any other religion in the U.S. About a third of Americans raised Catholic reported that they had left the church.
Still, there's a certain allure to a high school with public art "depicting the triumph of mathematical logic." The first photo featured wit this post, taken from Thomas Jefferson Science and Technology in Alexandria, Va., offers one possibility.
Once Fairbanks moves past this scene-setting about how she came to write this essay, she interviews a few different young women — Tori, Rachael, Mackenzie — who are high-achieving idealists.
The key question: Is there more to life than what is offered by a consumerist American culture?

Whew!! What a book! I must admit this took me a lot longer to get through than I was expecting. Not because it wasn't good - it was very good - but it was definitely a "requires all your mind" type of read. Thus why it took me three beaches (New Jersey, Keowee Key & Siesta) & many trips to The Park to finish.
I picked up The Goldfinch because I love art & I love literature. Also, I heard it was the Pultizer Prize Winner for Fiction this year... better keep up to date. The way I interpreted the back teaser, I thought it would be similar to Barbara Wood's The Blessing Stone - following a specimen through the ages & looking at all the people it touched. Now that I've finished, I can safely say, that was the general idea (as Theodore Decker explains somewhat lengthily & roundaboutly those last 20 pages). Guys this book was DEEP. It's been a long time since I read one like this & days later I'm still thinking about it.
A couple thoughts & PLEASE I'd l.o.v.e to discuss in the comments!! & warning - if you haven't read The Goldfinch yet, this may cause a few spoilers.
The Narrator: I didn't quite trust Theo. As a first person narration, I didn't quite realize til the very end that Theo was literally writing the pages to this book as we were reading them. Given his admittedly heavy drug use throughout the narration, I couldn't help but feel that he was mis-communicating details, or perhaps leaving them out entirely on purpose. Theo had a need to prove himself: to his father, to Pippa, to The Barbours, et. al. Do you think he may also have felt a deep need to prove himself to we, his reader, & purposely twisted his story to do so? But then, aren't we all guilty of twisting our stories? Human Nature, yes? How'd you feel about Theo? Did you trust him?
The Length: Now I'm no Fiction Pulitzer Prize Winning Author, but this little book didn't feel so little. I guess the only place I would have cut some pages was in Nevada.. but then again, it was imperative to see the relationship grow & turn between Theo & his father. Was there any place to cut or was The Goldfinch the perfect length?
Boris: Did any of you see this coming!?!? I didn't. I was reading this part in Siesta Key when BAM. & then I was like, THEO GET WITH THE PROGRAM! I mean yes, I knew Boris was acting weird when Theo's father died, but I thought he was being a chicken. You know? All talk, no game. Wow. Did you know that all the anxiety & angst that Theo was feeling about The Golfinch in New York was completely unnecessary? WAS it even unnecessary?
The Girls: Pippa, Kitsey. Pippa, Kitsey. Pippa, Kitsey. It was like ping-pong! I felt awful for Kitsey for a long time, until I realized she was using Theo as much as he was using her. I don't know, obviously I root for true love (Pippa) but also, isn't true love just the scariest thing you could ever encounter? Man. This was one I don't want to touch with a ten foot pole. I'm pretty glad that Tarrt really did leave it up to the readers decision in the end. Who did you let Theo choose in your ending? Pippa or Kitsey?
The Painting: Have you ever seen a piece of art (or literature) that connected to your soul the way that The Goldfinch connected with Theo? I haven't, yet, but.. how incredible. I love that art & literature & really so many things that we create outlive us. That's a cool, cool thing. What were your thoughts about the power of the painting?
I'll keep it there for now. Overall, I really loved The Goldfinch. What I think is really amazing & magical about literature is that you carry an entire world between two hard back covers. All new places, things, rules, an entire society that exists purely out of the imagination of one person's mind. Donna Tarrt made a slue of in depth characters with layers & levels so utterly human we could relate to them. That is true talent.
What was your overall thought on the book?
Fun sidenote: I love the name Theo. Mostly because one of my best friend's name is Teddy (I thought this was short for Theodore Gumbleton III the whole first year I knew him... turns out its short for Edward).
Next up to discuss: + UPDATE!!! Prisoner of Heaven. I'm super excited because this is part of a triplet series rotating around my favorite book Shadow of the Wind.
UPDATE!!!! We've started a real book club in conjunction! August is #GIRLBOSS. Let's talk about it in August! Happy Summer Reading! P.S. I'm trying to expand these posts to a real thing. Anyone want to read with me? We can make appetizers & desserts & discuss over fine (read: heavily discounted) wines. Think about it :)


text: Hey ya'll. It's been some time since I sat down and wrote on the blog. My goal in 2017 is to write at least 2 blog posts a month. Key is at least. I would love to write more, and I'm hoping to, but I'm going to push myself to sit down, take time, and write. I love to share my life with you and to share what quilty things are going on, but I realize that I must blog to share.
