The Gift
of God
By REV. W. W. KETCHUM
Director of Practical Coffee Mendy
Bible Institute of Chicago
TEXT-The gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.-Remans
A gift is something for which we
do not work. It is something that is
not naturally our
just due. It ia
something that
.someone gracious
ly gives us be
cause he or she
is interested ?D
us. This text ?D
the revision
speaks of this
gift as the free
gift of God. Now
there are many
people who ex
pect to pay their
way into heaven
-many who ex
pect to compen
sate God for
eternal life, when the text says that
the free gift of God is eternal life.
Eternal life-what is it? It is the
opposite of eternal death. Not eternal
death does not mean nonexistence any
more than eternal life means con
tinued existence. God's word teaches
that the soul never dies, in the sense
of going out of existence. It does say
that "The soul that sinneth, it shall
die," but we must Interpret the words
of the Bible by the Bible. The Bible,
you know, is aot only a book that
gives us the truth, but it defines the
truth that it gives, and when it talks
about eternal death it does not mean
the annihilation of the soul. It is a
truth that whatever exists always ex
ists, so the scientists tell us, and the
Bible says that the human soul lives
forever. Well, what la eternal life
then, and what is eternal death? Per
haps we might say that eternal life
means being born of God, having the
life of God. It ls not our natural life
prolonged into endless duration. It
ls the divine life imparted to us, the
very life of God himself communi
cated to a human soul. To put it In
another way, we might say that etern
al life ls right existence, while eternal
death ls wrong existence, or, to put
lt in still another way, eternal life ls
fiting In the presence of God, while
eternal death ts having the wrath
Of God abiding on one.
.Now. God's gift te eternal Hf* Our
he offers os this life
Christ our Lord, that
ipSk Christ ia the medium through
whom sternal life cornea. -What a
wonderful thing lt te to know that God
nae planned to five the human race,
dead In trespasses and In sins, eternal
Hfe through Ms twa Whit is involved
tn that truth? A great deal, my
First of all, that on the cross Christ
died for our sins. - .
Secondly, that there upon the cross
God laid upon Christ all our sins.
Thirdly, that all our sins will be
forgiven us on condition of our simple
acceptance*r faith of his Son, and the
ene who thus receives his Son, we are
told. Is bora, "not of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh, nor of the will of
man, but of God." I have met many
people who were striving to get etern
al life. I have even met Christiana
who have had the Idea that eternal life
becomes theirs, not through faith, but
by works of righteousness which they
I shall never forget preaching in a
little church in the Catskills, and talk
ing about the way of salvation, when a'
brother arose and controverted what
I said about the simple way of having
eternal life through the acceptance by
faith of JOSHS Christ as one's Savior.
Another brother, thinking he would
pour oil on the water, which was very
troublous just then, told about two
tr-eologiana who were crossing a
stream. One of the theologians was
arguing that salvation was by works,
and the other that salvation was by
faith, when the oarsman, listening to
the argument, began to row with one
oar, and the boat went round and
round, when they said, "What are you
doing?" and he replied, "Don't you see,
that oar with which I hm rowing ls
works, and I don't get anywhere." and
then he took the other oar and rowed
with that, and went round and round
fat the other direction, and he said,
"That oar, you see, te faith, and when
I row alone with that we do not get
across the stream. To reach the oth
er shore we must row with both oars."
That was a good story, but a poor Il
lustration, for, while lt sounds very
plausible, the trouble te lt ls not
?eriptura!. The Bible tells us that lt
li 'loot by works of righteousness that
we have done, but according to h|a
mercy he saved us." Change the Illus
tration and have lt true to the Scrip
tures. Jesus Christ ls the oarsman,
'and te rowing the boat of salvation
from earth to heaven, and if we would
reach the other shore whet we must
do ls by staple faith to get on board,
i I co down to the ferry slip in New
Torfe. Now. If I Wish to go acron to
the other side. What I must do is to
step upon the ferrv boat The mo
ment I do that I have trusted myself
to the ferry, and it te for the ferry
BOW. by its own power, to take me
over. This crudely Illustrates Christ's
work of salvation for us. We commit
ourselves to him, and he, by his OWB
power and work saves us.
L etter Writers' Busy Day.
bum .ay is a big letter writing day in
this village. Druggist* in the apart
ment house section a?v They sell more
postage stamps on Sunday than the
six other days combined, according to
the New York correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. Women are the
principal buyers. "It is an annoyance,
this stamp business," said a clerk,
"but we have to accommodate those
who ask for stamps. If we didn't we
would lose trade." Just then a wom
an entered with a letter in her hand.
"Will you please let me have a
stamp?" she smiled. The clerk laid
one on the counter and took th*?
money. "I wish," said she, "that you
'..ould weigh this letter. Maybe it
takes more than 2 cents. He weighed
it. "Only 2 cents, madam," he said;
then, taking the stamp up from the
counter where she had left it lying, he
added politely, "Allow me to pul it on
for you," and did. "You are so nice,"
said Bhe, "that I am going to begin
to buy my post cards here, too."
What Becomes of Lead?
Lead was unquestionably known to
the Egyptians, the Romans apparent
ly understood its desilverization, yet
we are apparently already entering on
an era of permanently higher prices.
The world's accumulated stocks of
5,000 years seem powerless to help us,
D. ?I. Liddell writes in Engineering
Magazine. How can they, when every
rain washes lead paint from the houses
into the ground in a form too dissemi
nated ever to be regained ; when every
hunter fires away a portion of the
world's stock; when almost every cof
fin carries a lead lining; while lead
"ripes or lead joints in iron pipe cor
rode In the ground, and when every
plumber's apprentice throws away lead
dross, and tea is packed in lead foil?
In the mean while the increasing use of
lead in storage batteries adds another
possibility of loss. The sludge from
these batteries will usually be thrown
away when the cells are cleaned. And
so the new discoveries of science help
to add new methods of waste.
Hew Opium ls Prepared.
The preparation of opium does not
today differ materially from the opera
tion as described by distinguished
travelers years ago. Incisions having
been made in the capsules of the pop
py the juice issuing therefrom is
allowed to bleed Into brass pans. The
product ls then alternately dried In
the sun and kneaded with trowels on
wooden boards until all excess of
moisture has been got rid ot When
the poppy Juice has been reduced to
paste in the manner described above,
and baa been freed from extraneous
matter, lt lt divided Into cakes of
equal sise, which ara allowed to dry
In a warm atmosphere before packing
for export. Opium thus prepared will
contain about ll per cent morphia,
suitable for medicinal purposes. When,
however, the stuff ls to be a smoking
mixture rather than a drug, lt ls re
duced to five per cent morphia by
adulteration. \
New Setting for Old House.
Many an old house has been allowed
to pass into a state of disrepair, and
finally has been torn down to make
place for a more modern building,
merely because the owner has not
been able to see in the old building
a possibility for the attainment of at
tractiveness and charm by means of
a new setting. The rarest gem la a
battered setting can hardly show Its
value. Put lt ta platinum and gold,
modern In cut, and the same gem ls
u, glory to ila owner; provide the old
house with nature's setting. In the
form of Judicious planting, together
with tasteful garden arrangement and
a pergola, and straightway lt ls given
a new lease of beauty.--L. 0. Hoyt, la
the Countryside Magasina,
Lord Morley's Audience of Six.
T. P. O'Connor recalls how Lord
Morley was announced on one occa
sion to address a meeting ta a hall ta
Manchester which could comfortably
seat 1,000 persons. "Just six men
turned up, and some of these had trav
eled a long distan?a There were some
momenta of grace given by taw chair
man, but the six men re matead six?
and lt was decided to adjourn the
meeting. But. the faithful six were
invited into the anteroom to hmve a
private chat with the deserted lec
turer; and, accepting the Ihnrttaiian,
they got more than full value for their
money, and more than full compensai
tlon for their disappointment^"-West
minster Gazette.
i Light on His Trouble.
One dark night three friends- were
crossing a deep, dry ravine, the banks
of which were very precipitous. As
the party had been imbibing a little
too freely, one of the three had to be
assisted up the incline. When, think
ing him safe at the top, his friends
turned him loose, he tell to the bot
tom. He 1ST Tory still, and the other
two, supposing him severely injured,
rushed down to him. As they leaned
over to discover his condition, the
fallen one exclaimed: "For God's sake,
strike a match! I think I'm uncon
scious!"-Everybody's Magazine.

"George Washington-" "I know

Senator Sorghum. "And Washington

"Just look at Bea Todd, the station
agent, geing back to the depot the
near way," Mrs. Perkins called to her
daughter. "I'll bet he and Mabel
have quarreled about, that whipper
snapper Charlie Wilkes, for she was
out automobiling with that fellow
yesterday, and they passed the depot
three times, as if they were just de
termined Een should see them."
Mrs. Perkins jumped to conclusions
with the skill of a practiced gossip,
but in this case she had reached the
right conclusion, for Een and Mabel
had quarreled the night before when
he went to make his usual Sunday
evening call.
Een had tried to avoid mentioning
Charlie Wilkes, the dapper young mau,
who, while on a vacation visit to
Marshville, had been pa>ing Mabel so
much attention that all the town was
wondering how much longer Ben
would stand it without "putting his
foot down." As Ben and Mabel sat
on the front porch there was a stifling
senso of impending storm. Conversa
tion moved haltingly. Eight o'clock
came and passed, and from over the
hill came the faint sounds of the
church organ.
"Are wes going to the union song
service tonight?" asked Ben.
"What for?" retorted Mabel. "To lis
ten to Mamie Cobb try to outsing
Elsie Martin?"
"Seemed like you enjoyed the
church social Thursday night; that ls,
it looked that way to an outsider like
me." Thus Ben touched off the spark
that exploded his intention to avoid
the one subject of which they were
both thinking.
"Ye,s, I did, and that because I was
with a live wire," snapped Mabel. "It
a few people like that lived in Marah
villa there'd be something to enjoy all
the time."
Ben took his hat from the end of
the porch seat
"Since you've made it plain that
there's no enjoyment for you in my
company, I can mighty soon relieve
you of it" Bon descended two steps,
and added: "Good night, Mabel
You'll not be bothered irith my oom*
pany again unless you say the word."
'Of course, being a man, you'll
blame the woman when thing? go
wrong. I hope you're satisfied, and
Fm sure I am. Good night" Mabel
disappeared through the doorway and
Ben walked all around town to reach
his boarding house, only three blocks
Daring the week that followed. Ma
bel ard Charlie Wilkes ?rife often
?een together by the obeer^ffl^owne
people. On Saturday, a c?l?bration
was held hi honor ot the completion
of the new town hall, and the feetiri
tits ended with aa evening concert in
the public square. " Msbel and young
Wilkes had been dashing around
town in an automobile ?nd they
stopped near the sonare to listen to
the band.
"Gee, this is no life for yon, Mabel,"
said Charlie, with easy familiarity.
'Ton ought to be ia the city. Why,
any number of giris with lees educa
tion than you get from fifteen to twen
ty dollars a week for the lightest kind,
of office work, and evenings they've
nothing to do but dress vp an go
to a show or a dance."
"But Amy Cobb was hourn last
week," weakly protested Mabel, "and
she makes a good salary; hut she says
it is hard to make friends in the city
among the kind of people yoe d ears
to call friends."
"Oh, weU if a giri acta like a st?
people will pats her up, bot you'd
never have to go begging for a friend
or a bean-certainly not, wfcen i'm
anywhere around." Charlie dipped
his arm around Mabel's waist sad
started to draw her to him, bat st that
instant there came a crashing sound
from the band platform and a hun
dred shrieking voices from the crowd.
Mabel started to spring forward,, but
Charlie tightened his ann about her.
She wrested herself away from him
and turned her eyes blazingly upon
him as she let herself out of the car.
"How dare you? And when people
around us are being killed! Why
don't you do something to help?" she
almost shrieked at him.
"Why should I do anything?" came
dariie's indifferent reply. "It's no
coacern of mine if these Rubes want
ls? set their necks broken. Even your
JrieodV the station agent and baggage
.ouatiez is in that gang. See?"
A3 Mabel could see was a yoong
woman hugging a three-year-old boy
0? her breast, and si number of ex*
c?te? men trying to make room on
the ground to lay Ben Todd'* Ump
foxna. She pushed her way to his
sidfe. She couldnft apeak, but sh?
100*0* her agonised questions se*
plainly that a man explained:
"Ben saw that Brooks kid dart nor
der the platform playing hid? andi
seek; Then th? crash came, andi
white- til? rest of os were looking out

Doctor Snt?hson was busy examinv
lng. Ben,, and after what teemed m
long time? be announced that aera?
badi braises and s fractured arm were
the most seri?os apparent Injuries.
Ben inquired whether the child had
escaped1 injury. It was Mabel who
answered; but she bent down so near
tb bira that nobody heard all she said.

PDC Won't Bring Cox Or Rooney Back Into Squad
Swindon Town manager Paolo Di Canio has confirmed he will not use out of favour players Lee Cox or Luke Rooney to boost his squads numbers as the team travels to Colchester United tomorrow evening.
Paolo also said he won`t use any youth players and as a result he could have as little as 14 senior players available for tomorrows fixture.
Lee Cox was set to move to Northampton but that deal fell through prior to the transfer deadline whilst Luke Rooney was set to move on loan to Cheltenham Town in exchange for Marlon Pack.
The deal for Marlon Pack could still go ahead with Rooney heading in the other direction once the Football League allows Town to register players.
Swindon Advertiser reporter Sam Morshead confirmed to Vital Swindon Town that neither player has trained with the first team in a long time, which likely means neither player is up to the fitness Di Canio would expect from his players.
The emergency loan window opens on the 8th of February.

This Made the Difference! We first purchased My First Book of Cutting two years ago for my son (he was then four years old). My son is the "cautious type" and he would not use scissors because he was "afraid of messing up". We worked with him in this book and within a few weeks he was accurately cutting out even tiny pictures from paper. He loved My First Book of Cutting and would work on as many pages at a time as I would allow. My now four year old daughter (the scissors queen) loves this book as well and is now also a very accurate cutter.

Toulouse and the French Election: Who Stands to Gain and Who Stands to Lose?
Like the Madrid train bombings in Madrid on March 11, 2004 that took 191 lives and wounded 1,800, the deaths of a rabbi and three Jewish children in Toulouse are liable to be etched on the French collective memory.
The Spaniards have March 11 - the day in 2004 when Islamists inspired by al-Qaida bombed commuter trains, killed 191 people, and undoubtedly determined the results of national elections three days later.
Now the French have March 19, the day of the attack in Toulouse, which may help determine the results of France's presidential elections at the end of next month.
On March 11, 2004, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar claimed that the Basque rebel underground had been behind the train bombings. Three days later, voters showed him the door, shifting power to his Socialist rival, Jose Luis Zapatero.
Will March 19 be for the French a reversal of what occurred to its Iberian neighbor? Will the fact that the Toulouse attacker was an Islamist - and not a neo-Nazi as was first claimed - leave President Nicolas Sarkozy in the Elysee Palace and douse the dreams harbored by Socialist candidate Francois Hollande?
Until only a few days ago, Sarkozy seemed to be poisoning the political atmosphere when he chose to use nationalist rhetoric, apparently aimed at attracting votes away from the extreme right of Marine Le Pen. He spoke of "too many immigrants" and against the Muslim halal method of slaughter, their mass prayers in the street, their head coverings and "symbols that express cultural differences."
He called to limit immigration, reduce the number of people allowed to become citizens, and threatened to take France out of the Schengen Convention, one of the foundation stones of European integration, which in 1985 declared much of Europe a passport-free travel zone.
His interior minister, Claude Gueant, sounded little different from Le Pen when he recently declared, "We must defend our civilization, because contrary to what the left's relativist ideology says, for us all civilizations are not of the same value."
Until Wednesday, there were those who claimed that presidential rhetoric had given the Toulouse attacker license and inspiration to kill. A Wall Street Journal editorial dubbed him "Nicolas Le Pen."
Now he can wrap himself in statesmanship, call for national unity, and warn against stigmatizing and revenge attacks, and demonstrate his great triumph in the double struggle against terror and anti-Semitism.
Politicians trying to outdo each other
The train bombings in Madrid on March 11, 2004 took 191 lives and wounded 1,800 people. The deaths of a rabbi and three Jewish children in Toulouse is liable to be etched on the French collective memory in the same measure: France has now launched what it calls the largest internal security operation the country has ever known. Politicians were trying to outdo each other with their militant statements - who would better eradicate anti-Semitism and terror, who would suspend his election campaign and express condolences instead, who would initiate a minute of silence in schools, who would visit the synagogue first, and who would meet the head of the Jewish community first.
Front pages of newspapers were drenched in black, the television networks sent battalions of reporters to cover the breaking story and Internet sites looked as if they were being managed from a war room.
The burning election issues - unemployment, the fate of the euro and the future of nuclear energy - were all shunted aside in favor of the one and only issue. Right, left, Muslims, Christians and Jews - all were as one, linking arms in a rare demonstration of solidarity that extended far beyond the borders of France.
Is this how the world looks when everyone's against us?
French or Israeli?
In July 2004, then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon caused a storm in France when he called on French Jewry to "come to Israel as quickly as possible, to escape the anti-Semitism spreading there.
"Israel is the only place where Jews can live Jewish lives in the full sense of the word," he continued, in what was perceived as a slap in the face to President Jacques Chirac and his government.
The man in charge of the French Interior Ministry at the time, and who had made it a central goal of his to fight racism and anti-Semitism, was one Nicolas Sarkozy.
Sharon realized his misstep and worked to placate the French. But there are those who apparently have failed to learn from his error. "Today we have an opportunity to tell French Jews that if they will choose to return to the land of their forefathers, they will find a warm home here," Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom declared on Tuesday.
Remarks like that are grease on the wheels of the anti-Semites and those who would deny Jews in France the right to exist. The same is true of the decision by the victims' families to have them buried in the Jewish state.
Sarkozy, Hollande, and French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe can declare from Thursday until Friday that "an attack on Jews in France is an attack on the 65 million citizens of the republic."
The Jew-haters are more convinced by what Shalom said.
The secret of Le Pen's success
Marine Le Pen breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday. If the neo-Nazi theory about the attack had proven true, she could have bid au revoir to her presidential campaign.
But now that the attacker has been identified, she can once again declare the death of classic anti-Semitism, and claim that this new version has its source in Islamic immigration.
She can also go back to trying to forge an alliance between Europe's extreme right wing and its Israeli counterpart. Yalla, let's battle Islam. Oh, and also those "scoundrels," her political rivals who "tried to exploit this tragic event" to slander her and her campaign.
There are those who were reminded on Wednesday of the bombing in 1995 at the Saint-Michel metro station in Paris, the worst of a series of terror attacks in France that summer. Those attacks earned the National Front unexpected votes in the partial parliamentary elections that took place only a few weeks afterward.
There were also those who recalled the success of Marine's father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who caused a huge sensation in 2002 when he qualified for a runoff presidential election against Chirac. The major reason for his success was that his rivals essentially adopted his agenda, which corresponded with the No. 1 issue in French public opinion at the time: the rising crime and sense of insecurity that were automatically identified with immigration.
Since the central election issue was "his," Le Pen positioned himself as the expert, exploiting to the fullest the "I told you so" tactic and calling on the public to vote for "the one with the original patent, not his pathetic imitators."
From the start of the events in Toulouse, Marine Le Pen has been playing it smart. Her response - suspending her campaign and expressing her empathy with the Jewish community - could have been taken from the center of French republican consensus.
Her ultimate success will depend on her ability to combine her "de-demonization" tactics with her father's old tricks: to persuade voters that if the options are Nicolas or Marine, then once again Le Pen, who has the original patent, is the better choice.

Basic "Rules of Thumb" for Cooking Meat
Preliminary Note
- The following are meant as general guidelines only and are not iron-clad rules of cooking. Oven temperature, the shape of the meat and desired doneness are just a few variables which affect cooking times.
- We recommend that you consult a cook book for more specific directions as Alpine Meats will not be held responsible for improperly cooked meat.
Meat Preparation
- It is always a good idea to take the meat out of the refridgerator for an hour or two before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature; this will reduce the cooking time and increase the quality of your roast or steak. (If you put it straight into the oven at a temperature close to freezing, the outside tends to get cooked even more quickly than the inside).
Oven Temperature
- In order to effectively cook meat while killing bacteria, ovens should be set to at least 275 degrees F. An oven temperature of 350 to 375 degrees F is recommended.
Internal Temperature
- The BEST WAY to ensure that your meat is cooked properly is to use a meat thermometer. For your convenience, we sell such thermometers in the store.
- Below is a table of internal temperatures based on an oven set to 375 degrees F. The meat at each of the following temperatures is approximately Medium-Rare to Medium-Well.
|Type of Meat
|Internal Temperature
|145 degrees F
|160 degrees F
|165 degrees F
|145 degrees F
|160 degrees F
Cooking Times
- The most general guideline for cooking meat is 30 minutes per pound in an oven set to 375 degrees F. This applies to most roasts of average size. For thin and narrow roasts, (such as pork loins or tenderloins), less time is recommended.
- Be careful! It is safer to ere on the side of caution and check the internal temperature before you feel that the roast should be done. Remember, you can always put it back in the oven for a bit if it is not yet finished, but can't do much if you've already burnt it to a crisp!

Steep trail > trail > roadrunning > cycling. Cycling CAN be very good, but very difficult to sustain it as there are too many downhill sections that let you rest.
Pull ups, lats/abs workout
Now, one only needs to do the trail or steep trail occasionally to keep those muscles in shape for balance and brain training on WHERE to place your feet so one doesn't turn your ankles, sprain your knees, and fall on your face, the rest can be roadrunning, cycling, basketball, swimming(fins), raquetball.
I have it easy. I have 10 acres with a 100 foot deep ravine in it. I have a 1/3 mile loop, 1/2 mile loop and trails abutting our property taking me to the top of Grand Ridge and Tiger Mountain. It used to have awesome single track mountain biking until the housing went in, now the trails are just ok for that. Those living near the Issaquah "alps" have it easy like I do.

If you struggle to focus, it may just be down to your diet. Not only are fatty foods detrimental to your vital organs and physique, but eating high fat causes inflammation of your brain. Now I'm not talking about 'good' fats – which your body requires to function, I refer to typical trans fats and fats that are often found in fast foods. This is an insightful article by Sharon Kirkey for the health section of Canada.com.
Eating High Fat Foods Causes Inflammation Of Your Brain
When the researchers looked at the animals' brains, they found higher levels of the stress hormone, corticosterone. They also saw changes in the expression of proteins that help control signalling between neurons in areas of the brain regulating emotions and reward.
Fulton said the type of fat might make a difference. Other research has shown that food high in saturated fat — such as hamburgers, bacon, pork sausages, cheese, butter, ice cream — cause inflammation throughout the body, including the brain, and that this inflammation may be causing changes that can lead to "negative mood states." But Fulton's lab has found some evidence that animals consuming the same total amount of fat, but "good fat, like olive oil," experience less anxiety.
They also reported the following:
"In the short-term high-fat food feels comforting, but in the long-term, and with increasing adiposity (fat mass) it is having negative effects on mood.
"We know that diet is a large contributor to the obesity epidemic throughout the world," Fulton added. Foods high in saturated fats and sugar are particularly abundant, she said.
In addition to obesity's well-known associations with high blood pressure, cancer, and Type 2 diabetes, "we really need to consider mental disorders," she said.
Lau, editor-in-chief of the Canadian Journal of Diabetes and chair of the diabetes and endocrine research group at U of Calgary, said the story is much more complex.
"We still don't understand why obese people are more depressed — is it related to body image (or other issues)?" he asked.
The fact that eating high fat foods causes inflammation of your brain and can lead to mental disorders does not surprise me in the slightest because I take a particular interest in nutrition. What does surprise me is the fact that they're so readily available and that governments where there is a high proportion of obese people, do not take any action. It doesn't just surprise me, it infuriates me. If everyone was required to be educated as to the effects of fast foods and fatty foods, and nutrition as a whole, maybe we could put an end to this obesity epidemic once and for all? Perhaps if fast foods weren't so cheap and healthy goods weren't so expensive, that my help too? Tax unhealthy foods and subsidise healthy foods? So obvious, yet will it happen?

Everyone knows the drill about all the cool things you observe in your own town that you promise yourself you'll look into the next time you pass that way. Then, something comes up and that time never comes. For a very long time my husband, Gary, wanted to see a store in our community housing geodes, rocks, crystals and more…So, on his birthday-we made it and I'm here to say Asheville rocks at Points of Lights.
This store is completely awesome. From the Singing Bowl demonstration to the jewelry, spheres and shiva linghams- we were fascinated. There are so many things to see we spent more than 2 hours there. Books deciphering information about crystals, their formations, where they are customarily found, healing powers commonly associated with them and more. There are also classes and educational opportunities offered through the store.
I hope some of them are in the winter time when we might go. After New Year's Eve celebrators- the hard cold comes to Asheville. With it, our guest population tapers off for a time, save some of my past guests specifically waiting for that time of year to book their lodging at our Western North Carolina Bed and Breakfast Inn, purposely avoiding the crowds. Freed up, with a bit with more time on my hands than is customarily mine, I can think of no better way to spend it than learning more about the earth and all the geological influences that brought into being the lovely, mysterious and supremely beautiful specimens at Points of Light. It has captured my imagination and I believe it will capture yours too.

Doris Jean
(circa 1920's)
A few months ago I offered to paint a portrait as a gift for my mother in law. She decided she would like me to paint a portrait of her mother, Doris Jean. I discovered this beautiful pose amongst the family photos. We believe the photo was taken sometime during the decade of the 1920's. I never knew Doris Jean (my husband's grandmother) as she had passed away several years before I married into the family. Among Doris Jean's ancestors was a Sioux Indian chief.
Reference Photos
The original photo was only wallet size and in fairly poor condition. A family member In North Carolina scanned the original photo and emailed me the photo file. I was disappointed with the lack of clarity evident when the photo was enlarged, but I decided to give it my best effort (as I didn't have any alternative from which to choose).
First Painting:
As with all of my portraits, the goal of my first painting is to establish the facial features as accurately as possible by painting the shadows (not the general skin tones this time). Her eyes in particular gave me a fit, and I had to depend on my calipers repeatedly to measure and re-measure. Even still, complete accuracy proved next to impossible due to the blurry nature of so many of the defining features on the study photo. I painted this first painting while vacationing at a beach in North Carolina and was relieved that my mother in law approved the resemblance at this early stage. My mother in law also told me that her mom's hair color was a very dark brown (even though it appears lighter in this photo)and that Doris's eye color was blue/green. I don't always paint the pupil on the first fire, but decided to do so this time since it was important for me to determine if I'd captured her "gaze". Fired to 016.
Second Painting:
This painting I washed colors over her skin (Blonde Flesh in the light value areas and Reflected Light in the middle-value areas and Light Red used to contour her cheeks slightly. I darked her eyelids (notice that her eyelids are dark in contrast to her lighter upper lid area) This time her irises were painted with apple green (first painting the irises were light blue), and I shaded the whites of her eyes. If you refer back to the study photo, you'll notice that the lower portion of her eyes are streamed with light (in contrast to the rather heavy shading of the upper right portion of her iris. So it was important to shade only the top area of the iris while leaving the lower left portion very light. I continued defining her facial contours with more shading. I darkened her hair and textured her long curls on each side of her head (retaining a fairly bright highlight on each curl). After hard scrutiny, I finally decided that I could discern what appeared to be a corkscrew curl dangling out of her pulled over bangs, so I painted a curl in that location. I tried to keep all edges of her hair slightly loose and wispy. Fired painting to 017.
Third Painting:
This 3rd painting is really only a partial painting. Actually both the second fire and the third fires were only partial paintings. I used this piece to demonstrate on while teaching an individual portrait seminar (demo'd techniques such as shading eyes, painting brows and lashes, etc.) I didn't get to paint over the entire piece, but instead did what I had time to complete during the day and fired the piece with the other seminar pieces that night. I added subtle eyelashes on this painting. Much of the shadow along the left side of her face was painted with Rembrandt Green. I used Flesh Shadow to give slight definition to the length of her nose along the right side (bright light side). I shaded the folds of her fabric dress with some warm gray and then washed a bit of Flesh #1 over some areas of the sleeve and dress to give a sheer appearance to the fabric. This painting I shaded her pearls with Flesh Shadow and wiped out some highlights. Fired to 018.
4th Painting:
Once I returned home from North Carolina, I finally had some time to give some serious attention to this painting. I decided I wanted a darker blue background since the dark blue will later be useful to wash over her darkened hair and should eventually "plant" her into her background. I felt the blue would also enhance her eyes. I continued to work on her skin tones and to darken the shadows around her eyes and along the left side of her face. I used a brush mix of black and rich brown to darken her hair and refined the texture of the hair and pulled some streaks of light highlight in strategic areas. (Whoops! I discovered to my dismay that she was completely missing any indication of an ear on the right side! One of the hazards of painting from a photo where the features are difficult to see! So, I managed to pull a slight highlight out of the dark hair in that area to hopefully give the impression of a shaded earlobe concealed by hair overtop. Whew!!
At this point I need to do a thorough comparison under the grid, because I'm sensing a few areas that are slightly "off" and hopefully the grid will help me see exactly where I'm off and give me some direction for correcting the likeness.
4th Fired Under the Grid Comparison:
I see several areas where I've strayed off likeness, but fortunately I think I'll be able to correction almost all of these variances. Compare the areas across the bridge of her nose. (Count the squares across the bridge of her nose on each photo. On the study, it appears to be only 2 squares wide but on the painting I can clearly count 3 squares across. The reason is I'm missing the very dark value of the shadow on the left side.) I obviously need to darken and define the shape of the dark shadow on the left bridge of her nose (from her left eyebrow down to just below her left tearduct) I also need to extend the shape of the shadow adjacent to the tearduct area of her right eye which should extend further onto the right bridge of her nose. Her right eyebrow needs to be widened (on the bottom edge of the brow). Comparing the shadow running down the left side length of her nose...the study shadow is pretty straight whereas my shadow line is curved inward. Thus, I need to straighten that shadow line. I also need to darken the shadow on the bottom of her nose (across the nostril area and particularly on the left side)
The edges of her irises and the lower lid line (especially on the left eye) might be off, but it was that is one of the areas so impossible to see clearly on the study photo. The outer corner of the left eye definitely must be pushed back by means of darker shadow in that area.
Now, I'll crop out a few more problem areas so that you can see the comparison under the grid more clearly.
Facial Silhouette Comparison - Left Side:
The crop of the left edge of Doris's face reveals that I need to make a few slight adjustments. Notice that two squares down from the top the edge of the face on the study curves inward and disappears beneath her hair. The edge of the face on my painting extends upward in that area. I need to use dark brown to curve her face inward as in the study. Also notice the straighter slant of Doris's jawline in the study compared with my more angular jawline of my painting. Once again, I can use hair color to push the jawline inward and slim that jawline more as it should be. (You can no doubt notice the left edge of her mouth and lips needs to extend over slightly to the left ….should tip slightly upward in a smile, and the left lip should be fattened up a bit also. (More detailed comparison of the lip will follow)
Facial Silhouette Comparison – Right Side:
Notice the considerable variance between the shape of the right side of the study photo with the shape of the same area on my painting. Notice on the study photo how the side of the face angles straight upward from about the middle of the cropped area. On the painting, her face continues outward (fails to angle straight upward). Once again, I can correct this by painting the dark hair inward in this area)
Mouth and Lips – Comparison:
For some reason I have a tendency to slim the lips on my paintings (argh!!). Here is another perfect example of how I've done that and gotten slightly off likeness. As you can see, her mouth needs to extend out further on both the left and the right sides (overall wider). On the right side, that center line needs to move outward fairly horizontally. In addition, I need to widen (plump) both the upper and lower lips and I need to move the dip of her upper lip slightly towards the right. Deep shadows (especially on the left side and in the center lip line) will be important to achieving that "look" and I need to work on "planting" both outer corners of her mouth within her face (proper shading of the outer corners). So, I've obviously got quite a few areas to correct as I proceed on to completion, but my grid comparison has helped me identify those areas and exactly how I need to proceed to make those correction.
Fifth Painting:
Have you ever gotten to the end of your painting...made all the corrections you know about and you are all excited about how well it is turning out....but then all of the sudden get an overwhelming feeling that something is just not right about it? That is exactly what happened to me at this stage of my painting. I THOUGHT this should be the last painting...thought that I should be finished. But, all of the sudden, I felt like I had lost the "essense" of Doris Jean's personality. My painting looks older and much too sophisticated than the real Doris. And her eyes bothered me (I gave her too much makeup....I shaded the top of her eyes too much?) Suddenly I'm wallowing in self doubt.
So.....what could I do now?
I know! I'll ask Marci!
Marci noticed that Doris's bottom lip on the left side was still not plump enough and needed to be straighter. She suggested that that troublesome shadow on the left bridge of her nose still needed to grow and darken towards the center. And she agreed with my observation that the pattern of shadows down her left side needed to make sense (shade the left side of the headband and bow....darken the cast shadow beneath the chin and on her neck.....enhance the shading on the left side of her face also) So, I sat down to begin my 6th painting on this portrait.
6th Painting (Finished):
I decided to use violet as the primary color for the shading over the left side of her face...it really enhanced those shaded areas well. In the darker areas, I brush mixed a bit of mahogany with my violet, but washed violet alone over areas of her lower left cheek, chin, area between her upper lip and the bottom of her nose, etc. I also shaded the left side of her forehead, gradually darkening as it moved into her hairline. What a huge difference that made! I suddenly realized that having her forehead entirely in highlight made her deeply shaded eyes look peculiar (THAT was the primary problem I was having with the look of her eyes!) Once her forehead was shaded, the entire left side fell into proper perspective.
I'm now at peace with my portrait of Doris Jean. Do I think she looks just like the real Doris? Honestly...."no"
I think I lost her essense...that innocence of her youth.
I realize that I overpainted her early on, which gave her a more grown up appearance. And, I can't fix that. But, I'm no longer distressed over it. Hopefully, my mother in law will like my portrait. There is a lot I do like about this portrait.
One goal for my future projects will be to figure out how to retain that look of youthful innocence. I've still got a LOT to learn!
Thanks for following along with me on this journey

Dollar weaker after boost for greenback
Page Tools
The Australian dollar closed weaker yesterday after rumours of potential foreign exchange intervention by the Bank of Japan gave the US currency some support.
At 5pm the local currency was trading at US77.98¢, from US78.25 ¢ at Monday's close. Early in the day the dollar touched US78.27¢ - its highest point of the day - while in late afternoon it dropped to its low of US77.74¢.
The Japanese market was closed for a public holiday while the US market was quiet ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow.
"We have had just a little bit of US dollar strength during the course of the day, due to a bit of caution that the Bank of Japan might be close to intervening to buy US dollars and sell the yen," said Societe Generale Australia strategist John Horner.
On Monday the Japanese Government said it would be monitoring currency markets "very closely", after the yen traded at US102.70¢ on Friday, the strongest in more than four years. Mr Horner said: "We continue to hear commentary from Japanese officials that suggest they may be getting close to the point where they may intervene."
The outlook for the local currency was to push back over US78¢, Mr Horner said. The Australian Bureau of Statistics will release the September-quarter capital expenditure data tomorrow.
Local bond trading was subdued after an uneventful session in New York. ABN Amro head of government, semi trading Andrew Kennedy said the domestic market continued to track offshore movements closely and attention was focused on the generally weakening US dollar.

I'm such a lazy parent…
The alarm goes off at 5:30 every morning, and I'm usually dragging myself out of bed by 6.
I do my morning devotion, shower, and get dressed by 7.
Today, I woke up at 6:40 and got sucked into Facebook until 7 when I finally dragged myself to the shower.
Since the house was quiet, I assumed all the kids were sleeping late as well. And since I felt so well-rested (apparently, I needed those 9 hours of sleep), I decided not to beat myself up about missing the alarm.
By the time I made it to the kitchen just before 8 am, everyone (including the baby) had been fed, and the kitchen was spotless. Beds were made and kids were roaming quietly around the house.
Now, you might think that this finding shocked me, but it didn't. It's actually pretty normal.
Chore routines were established a long time ago. And for the most part, I don't have to stand over them to remind them of all the things that need to be done. (I did have to remind them to brush their teeth though!)
Why I Train My Kids Early…
We determined early in our child-rearing careers that cooking and cleaning were skills we wanted our children to know how to do. We also felt it important to instill in our children the understanding that having a home requires work, and EVERYONE contributes to the maintenance of that home. Basically, we wanted them to be able to take care of themselves and eventually, their own families.
Since I had not received any such training as a child and my husband's training came mostly from the military, I read books on the subject. The one I remember most vividly is Life Skills for Kids (affiliate link) by Christine Field. It's a great, easy read that made me realize that my kids are capable of a lot, a lot sooner than I thought they'd be.
Lazy Parenting Teaches My Kids:
The Value of the Team
At our house, everyone pitches in. Everyone from the youngest to the oldest works together. This helps to reinforce the idea that our family is a team. We work together for the good of the team. You've heard the saying, "Many hands make light work", right? Just like on a sports team, even those personalities that naturally clash learn to work together to get the job done.
A Sense of Value
As if being part of a team isn't enough, chores give kids a sense of value. When I tell my 7-year old what a good job she did sweeping the floor and how thankful I am for her, she believes that she has value. She's making an important contribution to something bigger than herself.
Peter tells us in 1 Peter 4:10 to use our gifts to serve one another. What more appropriate "one another" than your own family?
A Sense of Satisfaction
Who doesn't appreciate a job well-done? The feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction when a job is completed is an invaluable gift to a child that can carry over into all aspects of his life–school, sports, and personal habits, too.
King Solomon said that there is nothing better than for a person to find enjoyment (satisfaction) in his work. (Ecclesiastes 2:24)
When kids pitch in around the house, they learn to be thankful. They know the effort it takes to prepare a meal, so they are more likely to appreciate it. They know the time it takes to clean the kitchen, so they say "thanks" when I do it for them. Gratitude contributes to a positive attitude.
This may be the most important item on my list. One day my kids are gonna grow up. One day I'm not gonna be around. But in that day, my kids will know how to cook and clean for themselves. They'll understand that they must work for the things they want in life, and they'll know how to work.
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, ~Colossians 3:23~
Why do I call this Lazy Parenting? Because any time one of my littles wants to do something for themselves, I let them. I know, I know… It's usually easier to just do it yourself. But I promise that if you invest just a little bit on the front end, the rewards you'll reap later are so worth it!
My goal is to work myself out of a job… So far, it seems to be working.
And occasionally, I get a guilt-free, lazy-mommy morning.

WASHINGTON (Sep. 13)
The US government wants to put Meyer Lansky on trial for tax evasion and contempt of court but apparently will not press Israel to extradite the 70-year-old reputed gangland boss. This was indicated yesterday by State Department spokesman Charles Bray who said the US could not do much formally to bring about Lansky's extradition. He said the charges against Lansky are not an extraditable offense under the US-Israel treaty of 1962.
Bray discussed the issue following a ruling by the Israeli Supreme Court in Jerusalem Monday upholding the government's decision to expel Lansky. The Israel government, however, promised Lansky a laissez passer that would allow him to go to any country willing to receive him. His US passport was revoked.
(In Jerusalem today, Lansky told reporters that he was "at a loss" about what to do or where to go as a result of the Supreme Court ruling. He said he did not know how long he would be permitted to remain in Israel and could think of no country to go to. "A Jew has a slim chance in the world," he said.)

Remember Aaron Carter?
At one time the former teen heartthrob, and younger brother of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter was on top of the world! Things have since changed, his career didn't exactly transition into super stardom and on Saturday he was arrested. Carter was scheduled to perform that night, but instead the 29 year old was arrested along with his girlfriend on DUI and drug charges. He was released on bail the next day.
Aaron Carter was arrested for DUI, marijuana possession and released on bail. His girlfriend remains in jail. https://t.co/DINGK8AWhq pic.twitter.com/IFqle9quFD— USA TODAY Life (@usatodaylife) July 16, 2017

Where's Sativa? Fix Is On The Way
Logging onto the site Saturday night to check the latest update, we're greeted by the alluring face and body of the lovely Sativa Rose. She's gracing the cover of First Date from the site's hot new studio – DVSX. Surrounding Sativa on the cover are Kat, Jessica Sweet, and Brodi(e). We note there are six scenes on the DVD as Trista Post and Trinity Post are also on board. You immediately say to yourself, let me get at that Sativa scene. However, there is a problem.
Scrolling down the page. Brodie – check, Trista Post – check, Kat – check, Jessica Sweet – check, Trinity Post – check. Oh damn, in our excitement, we must have passed by Sativa. Scrolling up the page. Trinity Post – check, Jessica Sweet – check, Kat – check, Trista Post – check, Brodie – check. Oh, Good Lord. Maybe the page loaded incorrectly. We'll just hit the refresh button and I'm sure the scene will appear. No dice. Clicking the review comments, we find we're not alone. Everyone is asking, "Where's Sativa?"
Yesterday I contacted the Content Manager of VideoBox, an individual I've always found to be helpful and accommodating. I explained the situation. After all, this was no ordinary run of the mill missing scene. It was a Sativa Rose missing scene. The content people were already aware of the problem. It had been discovered a few hours before the DVD went "live" and was too late to pull out of the queue. Turns out the DVD that was used to encode the scenes was damaged and the Sativa Rose track couldn't be read by the system. Being the last scene on the disc, the issue went unnoticed until it was too late.
The Content Manager states, "We have since ordered a new copy of the DVD and are in the process of encoding the Sativa Rose scene. It will be uploaded to the site in the next several days."
Wonderful news indeed. Our first date with Sativa may be a bit delayed, but will still take place.

In a recent article for The Contributor, a Nashville monthly newspaper that employs homeless and formerly homeless people as vendors, a street-seller who identified herself as Jeanette B. recounted how a customer said something ugly to her and, rather than just letting it go, she replied, "Hey, I am a human being." His response was a sneering, devastating "barely."
Here is what Jeanette B. wrote about her feelings: "I cried a little — because he's right. In the eyes of Metro I am an eyesore, someone to harass for trying to do simple things like sleep. To businesses, I am someone to ask to leave, to tell that I am not allowed to use their restrooms."
But of course the bigot was not in any way "right."
Here in Tennessee we are seeing such bigotry not only on our streets and in our restaurants, but also in the halls of legislative power and even in conservative churches that constantly deride President Obama and Democrats for trying to "do too much" to help the poor, sick and elderly.
And now we have a man — I have come to think of him as Bishop Romney — who is a step from the presidency and in my opinion represents the worst of all three worlds: business, political and religious.
There seem to be two very different versions of Christianity at work in the world today. One looks to the good example of Jesus Christ in his earthly ministry and operates with compassion for the less fortunate. A much darker version of Christianity seems intent on separating the wheat from the chaff, and sweeping the chaff away, to make life easier for the affluent. This darker version of Christianity is chauvinistic, autocratic and demands conformity to its narrow-minded, Dark Age vision of how "good people" should look, act and probably smell.
Willard Mitt Romney once served as a bishop of the Mormon church. I do not want to put his faith on trial, especially when I see the same sort of bigotry in other ultra-conservative churches such as the Southern Baptists, who are headquartered here in Nashville. But please allow me to point out three things about Bishop Romney that make me think he is unfit to be elected dogcatcher, much less president:
(1) He said that 47 percent of Americans feel "entitled" to housing, food and health care. This suggests that in a land of plenty he thinks nearly half the population is not entitled to a decent life, since a decent life requires housing, food and healthcare.
(2) He toured a Chinese factory where 20,000 girls and young women lived and toiled in a factory complete with guard towers and barbed wire. Rather than reporting this outrage to our government and the American public, it seems Romney invested millions of dollars in the Chinese company that owned the factory, at one time owning nearly 10 percent of its stock, before finally cashing out.
(3) Later, as his Bain Capital group aggressively closed American factories, outsourcing American jobs to low-wage countries, it seems Bain-owned companies may have adopted the methods Romney saw being used in China. For instance, Bain earned $242 million by pressuring Dade International to take on massive debt in order to buy back Bain's shares in the company. The result was large-scale job elimination. According to a Huffington Post report, some fired workers would "get an hour's notice before being shown the door." Fred Gregory, who assisted a plant closing in Miami, said that he stopped eating at the cafeteria because, "I didn't want to see the women crying. You could walk in there and hear a pin drop. You could see the emptiness. It was just huddled-up sheep. It was pathetic. It was heartbreaking, heart-wrenching. You just want to hug them." According to Gregory, the plant added higher fencing and concertina wire. Every day, a pair of security guards would check his backseat and trunk to make sure he wasn't stealing office supplies. "It was all so well orchestrated," he said, "and so evil."
I do not want to see such suffering here in America, so that the affluent can become even richer at the expense of ordinary Janes and Joes. If Bishop Romney can see such things in China, without offering a word of protest, and do such things to American workers, without an ounce of remorse, what might he do to us, once he has the power of the American presidency in his hands?
Is it the street vendors and factory workers who are barely human, or their heartless overseers like Bishop Romney?

I think we should then tell Israel that they have the right to defend themselves but that if they go into Iran they are on their own. If we did this I am sure that the Europeans would take a different approach to Iran and Israel wouldn't have to worry about Iran's threat. As it is now Europe is using us to be the bad guys while they continue to do business as usual with Iran. It is time for them to take the lead. Iran with nukes could affect Europe more than us at this time.

What is the best concert you've ever gotten tickets to?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on June 28, 2008
"Alicia Keys about a year ago. She was a really good performer and the show was awesome."
"I think probably the Eels at The Bottleneck. I had just discovered them and went there with a huge group of friends, so it was a really great experience."
"Jay-Z's Blackout. I really like his music and the concert was jam packed. We had to pay a little extra for better seats, but it was well worth it."
"My first time seeing Van Halen back in the late '70s or early '80s."
BrianR 9 years, 7 months ago
Wow Multi, that's some of the best Yacht Rock out there. Very cool.There are too many good ones to say which stood above the others. Led Zeppelin, The Carpenters, Muddy Waters & Johnny Winter, Leonard Bernstein & the Israel Phil., the original Allman Brothers Band, The Stones in 1975, Mott the Hoople with Queen and Aerosmith opening. I would love to see Dead Can Dance.

A close second would be the Summer Sessions Tour at Harmony Park in Minnesota Aug 8th, 1999 which featured four stellar bands:Gov't MuleString Cheese Incidentmoe.GalacticThis was one awesome musical experience, with each band raising the bar a bit higher, and a group jam at the end that was nearly unbelievable!!!

Probably The Pretenders at Starlight Theatre in KC on my 30th birthday.Although, ZZ Top at Kemper was really good, as were the Rolling Stones.Also, Jethro Tull and Savoy Brown in Denver.But, perhaps the best--Gary Puckett and the Union Gap with The Human Beanz opening at Salina, KS. My first.

I loved The Sound and the Fury. Too bad they broke up before they made it big. I also got to see the Toadies in their last concert before they broke up at Foxtown in Pittsburg. The only big name concerts I have been to are Rockfest 2001 (Saliva closing the second stage was probably the best part of that), Sammy Hagar/David Lee Roth at Sandstone (Sammy was 100 X's better than Dave...he actually tried to put on a show while Dave went through the motions), and Cake/Weezer a couple years ago at Sandstone. The best one I missed (because I was only a Freshman in HS and my parents wouldn't let me go), Metallica/GNR at Arrowhead with Ice T opening. Man I wish I could have gone to that.

Pink Floyd, The Wall tour, 1980 at the Nassau Civic Center in New York. My first was pretty good too, a general admission Who concert in Springfield MA, a few years before what happened in Cincinatti when they still allowed GA - there weren't even seats on the floor, it was just a sea of people. We were just a few feet from the stage, and every time we'd see the security staff bracing themselves against the barricades, you could look back and sea a wave rippling through the crowd heading towards the stage. I can definitely understand how Cincinatti happened - were were the first group of people there in the morning waiting for the doors to open, and from the time I handed the guy my ticket to the time I got down to the floor, my feet never touched the ground.

trollkiller (Anonymous) says:"You were 11 right?..Oh, yeah, I believe you Marion Ha ha ha"That is entirely plausible, I was 13 when I saw the All Bros in 1970. A cousin took me because he knew I liked them and, coming from a family of musicians, it was just something that happened from time to time. I'm still kicking myself for NOT going with him to see Blind Faith the year before because at the time, I had no idea who they were.

Santana w/ Macy Gray at Blossom Music Center. I took my mom and dad with me, and a great time was had by all. Even though we had some second-hand "smoke" wafting past us from the couple in front of us. As we were in the car leaving, my mom mentioned how she was kind of hungry. I said "you have the munchies, huh?" It went right over her head. My dad told me later that he had gotten it and laughed. Once we explained it to her, she thought it was pretty funny as well.

3 spring to mind, I guess. My first, when I was 13, was Megadeth, Pantera, and White Zombie. I was a little nervous that someone was going to beat the @#$% out of my scrawny suburban adolescent body, but no problems, and great metal! The last two Tool concerts I've been to. The Reverend Horton Heat in the Bottleneck. I've seen him 3 times, and it's always great. Some of you listed some great bands, but by the time I was old enough to go they were all fat and old, and the fire was gone. So sad.

2000, Houston, George Strait Music Festival - George, of course, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Mark Chestnut, LeAnn Womack, and Asleep at the Wheel (who is great).Then 2001, George Stait Music Festival - George, Alan Jackson, Lonestar, Brad Paisley, LeAnn Womack, Sarah Evans and Asleep at the Wheel. 2007 - Oklahoma City, Chicago, and Huey Lewis and the News, 2nd row. Huey was mad at his sound board, which was replaced for Chicago. Chicago was fantastic, and played my favorite song at the end of the night " 25 or 6 to 4"2004 - Lakefest, Atchison, cheap tickets for open seating, we got there early and close. Brad Paisley and Rascal Flatts. Both were unbelievable.

In the mid 1970's in St Louis. Bob Dylan and The Band doing their last waltz tour. Before the night was over Eric Clapton and George Harrison had joined them. When the first show was over we purchased tickets for the second show with Clapton and Harrison jamming all the while. What a deal.

beatrice 9 years, 7 months ago
Many, many to choose from. Frank Zappa, front row tickets, would have to top the list!Led Zeppelin in 1977 was very good, but not as good as Pink Floyd that same year, Animals tour, Oakland Coliseum.XTC opening for The Police, at the State Fair (no actual ticket, since it was free and general admission)Bo Didley at a tiny club with about 75 people, and the Meat Puppets, about 20 times, in the same little club (The Mason Jar, Phoenix).The Smiths, The Sugarcubes, The Residents, the one and only David Bowie. Each time I've seen Laurie Anderson has been great, as is Candye Kane.And Tom Waits just last week was amazing and one of my favorites of all time. I love live music, but concerts are too expensive now. My general rule of thumb is, if you can purchase a performer's entire recorded output for less than you can buy a ticket, the ticket is too expensive.

Count Basie and his orchestra, in the early eighties (Basie died in 1984). I had tickets to a concert/dance in a ballroom in Atlantic City -- the majority of people did not dance, but just crowded close to the stage, listening to them swing.Another time, he came to AC and did a free concert on the beach, under the stars. That was WONDERFUL!!! And I even got to meet him. My first and only meeting with royalty. :)I'd also have to include any and every time I've seen They Might Be Giants!!!

1979 at Royals (Kauffman) Stadium, Van Halen-a new band- opened up with a virtuoso on the guitar, followed by Eddie Money (oh well), Steve Miller put on an excellent show, and then Kansas played under a full moon and put on a stunning performance. Steve Walsh was superb as an entertainer and the music was of course, complex and full of twists and turns. Rich Williams, the Kansas guitarist, said in a later interview that it was one of the two finest performances they ever turned in.

TacoBob:The Police never played anywhere in Lawrence. I saw their show at One Block West in KC, 1980, and I would have been aware of it had they played anywhere in Lawrence since they formed. I think it was 1982 when they began playing Kemper Arena-sized venues.Plus, if you're going to claim Boomtown Rats and Devo (among others) at least get the name of the venue right. It was not Liberty Hall; it was the Lawrence Opera House. Same building, OK, but different venue entirely.

Springsteen -- every tour since I first saw him at Kemper in '84. Friends got me tickets for my birthday and I've been hooked ever since.Stevie Ray Vaughn at Starlight three years in a row. Phenomenal. Was hoping for a surprise guest appearance at Clapton show when he died two days before. Remember exactly where I was when I heard on KY.Trip Shakespeare at the Bottleneck -- you're right on with that one Camper! Tool Master of Brainerd, baby! Ya know the older brother is the lead singer for Semi Sonic, right?Dave Matthews Band at Bottleneck -- thought it was a guy I knew from Bagdad Jones that had started up a new band the first time they played there. Shocked it wasn't but great show.Salty Iguanas, Bagdad Jones, and Lonesome Hounddogs -- phenomenal Lawrence bands in the late 80's and 90's. And last but definitely not least --- Joe Moon. Extraordinary 12 string virtuoso that came back to play Omega every year. He started playing on that outdoor stage one year, a huge thunderstorm blowing in from the west, and started in with 'All Along the Watch Tower'. Mesmerizing. In fact, I'd be eternally grateful if anyone reading this might know how I can get my hands on some of his old CD's. Mine were lost in a move and I miss 'em somethin' fierce. Any links or help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I'm a proud member of Gen X, in all it's cynical, world-weary, Nevermind glory.
However, Gen X is being pushed off the stage by those pesky Millennials. And what do these interlopers look like (particularly the Hispanic ones)?
Well, Latinos age 18 to 34 are focusing on getting themselves educated. However, they are not so interested in setting up their own homes.
These insights come from a recent study that found Millennial Hispanics "are almost 20% more likely than non-Hispanic whites in the same age group to reside in a multigenerational household." That means more young Latinos are stuck living with mom and dad. They're also getting married later. About a third of "Hispanic young adults today are married — down 17% since 2008."
But they are going to college. Almost half (49%) of Hispanics 18-24 are enrolled in college, and this is "a higher enrollment rate than non-Hispanic whites (47%)."
So if Gen X Hispanics must make way for Millennial Latinos, at least we know they will be well educated. Now if they could just get out of their parents' basements.

Cyclist Paul Brainerd sent me this cool video he made of a bike ride from McAllister Park to HemisFair Park, including the River Walk.
"I originally made this video for myself," he wrote in his email. "Then after numerous comments from friends and family (many whom are bike riders themselves), I realized they were totally unaware of the awesome greenway and bike lanes this city now has to offer . . . something they thought they could only find in Austin. . . . Enjoy the ride!"

My best friend and younger sister, Sam, just had her 2nd baby yesterday morning. Little Ash Phillip Wolf Spencer was born September 8th at 6:15am weighing 7lbs 9oz and 19 inches long (those were Wyatt's stats too!). He's a very sweet little thing that I can't wait to get to know. Sam and her husband Michael are super happy and relieved to be finally holding him in their arms. :)
