A WOMAN S PERSPECTIVE ON THE GREAT LOOP VOYAGE by Doris Prichard

1 A WOMAN S PERSPECTIVE ON THE GREAT LOOP VOYAGE by Doris Prichard For years we ve lived and boated on the Tennessee River, and when we vacation it s usually somewhere by the water. Wayne has always loved boats and his business was boat related. It came as a logical progression for us to want to spend a year traveling on the Great Loop. We ve talked about it for years, but finally decided to start actively planning the trip when I retired. We subscribed to magazines like PassageMaker, Southern Boating, and Sea Magazine to start our learning process. We traveled to boat shows and attended a Trawler Fest. Trawler Fests, sponsored by PassageMaker Magazine, are a combination boat show and learning opportunity with classes on topics of interest to cruising boaters. These events were very helpful to us and gave us an opportunity to talk with other boaters who were already out there cruising.
2 We finally bought our boat, Segue, in ("Segue" for our transition from work to retirement and from land to water.) The boat is a 43 foot 1984 Californian cockpit motor yacht. We traveled to Florida and chartered a boat before buying so that we d know what we wanted. That was one of the most useful things we did to help us select a boat. We came away looking for a queen size bed (or larger), a covered deck for rainy days, and a galley that was separate from the living area. We refurbished the boat over the next four years and during that time started researching the Great Loop. We joined the America s Great Loop Cruisers Assn. ( and in addition to attending a couple of their meetings we started monitoring discussion lists sponsored by that group and other cruising boater groups. Once we were both retired, we knew it was time to make our move. During the months leading up to our October 2007 departure we fine tuned the boat, took a navigation class from the Knoxville Power Squadron, gathered supplies, planned our route, found a house sitter, forwarded our mail.well, we were going away for a year and there was a lot to take care of! Friends asked why we weren t going to try it out first for a couple of months to see how we liked life on the
3 water. We decided it was just as much trouble to close up house for a couple of months as it was for a couple of years and we were determined to do the Loop! We set a departure date and took off in mid-october, looking forward to the show of fall color as we made our way down the Tennessee River. Our exuberance was dampened one day into the trip when the fuel tank started leaking. It would have to be replaced, and our trip was going to have to wait a couple of months until the boatyard could fit us into their work plan. We just couldn't bear the thought of going back to our house and undoing every plan we'd set in place for the year, so we quietly made our way back to Knoxville, got our car, and set out on a road trip to visit some of the places we planned to see by water. One month later we went home for Thanksgiving so we could monitor the repair process daily. Mid-December we struck out again on the Great Loop. Yes, the fall color was gone...and the weather as we made our way to the Gulf was rainy and cold...but we were on our way! Fortunately the cold weather still allowed some spectacular views.
4 Traveling with us on our trip was our 2-yr-old miniature schnauzer, Lucy. Our planning for the Loop, then, included plans for Lucy's safety and comfort, too. Lucy's a reluctant swimmer so we bought her a life jacket with a "handle" on top to make getting her on and off the boat easier. Our vet was very enthusiastic about the trip and worked up a first aid kit for Lucy that included an antibiotic, ear drops, antihistamine, motion sickness remedy, and other medications she thought might come in handy. Lucy's vaccinations were all updated, and (knowing we would be going into Canada) we got a certificate signed to that effect.
5 I had some concerns about the trip initially, I'll admit. Wayne and I have been married for 40 years. (In fact, we spent our 40th year together making this trip!) Wayne retired in April, and I had been retired for several years. In all of our years together we had never spent even a month together 24/7...not that that's unusual for a couple who both have careers. Anyway, I just wondered whether we would end up driving each other crazy after a few months. Wayne wasn't concerned. And in retrospect, it was not a problem. There were two things we did to make it easier on each other. First, we bought the "marriage savers"...the headphones that allow the captain and crew to communicate without shouting as you are docking. Second, and this was Wayne's idea, we agreed to "be nice to each other." Sounds simple, but it worked. Oh, there were times when an urgency would creep into our voices as we surveyed a new problem. But the words, "Let's be nice to each other" would make us realize we were unintentionally working up to more than a hearty discussion! All told, it was a wonderful year spent together, and we made some great memories. Another concern I had was that I would get bored. I brought books (I'd say between us we probably had close to 50 or more), my watercolor paints and a variety of papers, several needlework projects, some quilting, my portable sewing machine...need I go on? Looking back on it, that is the craziest thing I've ever worried about! I think it stems from the idea we had that one of us would be piloting the boat...while the other would be eating bon-bons and reading on the back deck. Well, that's not how it was for us. Most days found us both sitting up on the bridge, one steering the boat and watching the electronic charts while the other kept up with the paper charts. We both liked the view from the bridge, and we just felt better most times having four eyes on the course. Our Great Loop trip took us from Ft. Loudon Lake, Knoxville, TN, to Mobile, Key West, up the east coast to NY City, then to Canada including Montreal, Ottawa, Georgian Bay, the North Channel of Lake Huron, then south across Lake Michigan to Chicago, and down a
6 system of six rivers back to Knoxville. It was a year long journey of 6,800 miles, 128 locks and 4400 gallons of diesel fuel. Leaving Key West via Hawk Channel in the Atlantic The trip was everything we thought it would be and more. There were many highlights but we both agree we ll never forget our emotional high when coming into New York harbor with the Statue of Liberty on one side and the Manhattan skyline on the other.
7 We learned so much on this trip. At first we thought one person could leisurely spend time leisurely reading on deck while the other was handling the boat. Quickly we discovered that piloting was usually a two person job. After encountering rough water a couple of times, we learned to stay at the dock when the weather was bad. New friends made in strange places are special as are old friends and family supporting you and sharing the experience. But the thing we came to realize as we traveled the Hudson River, Lake Champlain, and other well-known cruising destinations, is that we live in one of the most beautiful bodies of water on the Loop the Tennessee River. We are by no means the first to complete the Loop. We just want others to know, those who ve dreamed about doing this sort of trip, that there are organizations and individuals out there to help you plan and execute the journey. Your plan can be a personal one you can vary the route, the time and the expense. You can also decide when you want to travel with a group of boats or when by yourself. No matter your method, it really can be the trip of a lifetime. You can read more about our travels at and our business website

We have been selling a lot on Craig's List. We sold some bikes for $120, a sewing machine for $40 and even some salt and pepper shakers for $10. I tell ya, when Dave said, "Sell so much stuff that the kids think they're next" I took it literally. LOL! If we don't need it, if it's not an heirloom item and if it can't make money, it's going to be for sale! I figure I can always re-buy anything I truly miss, right?
Recently on Facebook a saw a post of a family from China pictured with all of their worldly possessions. They had so little, yet they have everything they need. I think the Lord showed me that picture intentionally because something inside me clicked. I've always been somewhat of a minimalist. I donate to the Goodwill at least once a month. (Jake calls the drop off boxes donate dumpsters. LOL!) I don't typically keep things I don't use or need, but now that I've seen that photo, I've realized that even the things I've kept may not actually be necessary. I'm taking a second look at everything in my house and if it's not truly needed, it's for sale. It's freeing! And as each 'thing' leaves, I feel lighter, cleaner, and downright better. I'm decluttering and getting out of debt at the same time. Praise the Lord!
Aaron and I are so happy to have met baby step one so soon. We keep looking at each other and grinning. Our goal was to have it finished by January 1st so we're excited to be ahead of the game! Our next goal is to have our three little debts knocked off by January 1st. We owe $41 to QVC, $81 to Old Navy and $180 to our dentist. It'll depend on how much we can sell and how much OT Aaron can get at work, but we're hopeful! :)

Honda Civic Type R Race Car Debuts at 24 Hours of Dubai
TCR-spec car fails to finish first race, but few will argue it looks spectacular and should be potent enough to compete in many TCR-spec series and classes.
The racing version of the Honda Civic Type R debuted at the Hankook Tires 24 Hours of Dubai January 12 and 13. While the results might have fallen short, the car looks to have a bright future.
English team RKC/TGM Sport campaigned the first Honda Civic Type R TCR, although the car had to retire after nine hours. A blocked radiator overheated the 2.0-liter engine irreparably. The car qualified 12th in a field chock full of well-tested TCR-spec Audi RS3s, Seat Leons, and Volkwagen Golfs.
That may not sound impressive, but all race cars undergo some teething troubles. JAS Motorsport built the car and put the new Type R through more than 2,800 kilometers of testing. However, the grueling churn of a 24-hour race provides a more severe challenge for a race car than single-car test.
Whatever you say about the results, the car looked spectacular. American Honda factory driver Ryan Eversley probably said it best on Twitter, asking if JAS had any spare body kits laying around for a street Type R.
JAS Motorsport delivered the first customer Type R TCR to RKC/TGM to begin a planned 25-unit run of the car. Several will compete in regional TCR series. More will likely participate in the FIA world championship, the new-for-2018 World Touring Car Cup (WTCR).
About the Honda Civic Type R TCR
CR is a specification of touring cars that uses production bodies with an eye toward cost-savings. Regulations restrict purchase price to around $135,000 for the car and while that sounds like a lot, it runs considerably less than the old World Touring Car Championship Civics.
Regulations mandate a single-turbo 2.0-liter engine with 330 horsepower. It's unclear if this is a different engine from the previous JAS Motorsports' prior Honda Civic TCR. However, the new car likely retains the six-speed, paddle-shifted sequential transmission. Bored? Check out the allowed engine modifications in Section 6 of the TCR Technical Regulations.
Handling updates for the 2018 car include a new multilink rear suspension and anti-rollbar system. The 2017 Type R's aerodynamic changes should also produce more downforce.

Punk Rock Classic - World Contender - Worth A Listen - Average - Plastic - No Future
'Nobody's Hero's' (opm2122) CD 2000
Canada's best punk exports (in my humble opinion) make a welcome return! And 'Nobody's Hero's' is seething with all the snidey leers and sneers that you'd associate with
The Forgotten Rebels
20 years ago. This ain't quite 'I'm In Love With The System' calibre but it's pretty fucking close!
The Forgotten Rebels
in case you didn't know are the one of the few original punk bands who still understand what punk is capable of. They take the piss like true professionals of the art, but can back it up with some serious punk rock damage. They never embarrass like most others from their class. And they ain't become a fucking pastiche of themselves either. You do get the customary abuse tracks spotlighting dirty hockey coaches -
'Hockeynite', 'High School Hookers'
'Dick Wart'
, with the hilarious line of...
"I know what it's like to play, I'm the beer bottle violator that's my way, girls are easy girls are good, girls like jumping on my throbbing hood'
(tee hee) which will get em hung, drawn and quartered in some punk circles ha! But hey ain't that just how it should be? The sound on this album is really heavy and powerful without reaching rock terrain. Those great chunky guitar chords supplied by Jeff Cambell are up their with Steve Jones. The production follows suit, and is spot on care of Drummer Dave McGhire and Eric Ratz. You can feel it blasting out your speakers as soon as the first track kicks in, which I like a lot.
The Rebels
have learned from years of experience how to create that perfectly flawed punk sound for their 21st century anthems. Mick De Sadists gravel coated vocals are still in evidence...more so in fact. And the course his vocal putdowns still have enough sauce to scare off even the most hip parent out there. Would you let your daughter take this man home? This band really hit their peak midway through with the simple but brilliantly addictive
'Hey Little Girl'
and it's pumping chorus that's gotta become a big crowd favourite any time now. And following straight on behind is another Neo-classic
'Fool Me Once'
which exposes the hypocritical rock 'n' roll business for what it's worth. Songs like these could still make an impact on the national charts with the right push...are you listening EMI? Pity really coz it probably won't see past the punk rock ghetto's. On a downer they do a pretty straight take on
the Vibrators
'Baby Baby'
which wasn't really needed. Maybe next time a cover of
'Nice 'N' Sleazy'
would've been better. The other cover of
'American In Me'
the Avengers
was a nice touch though. They end with another hilarious track
'Shrink Dink',
all about what those mind twisting shrinks can do to unfortunate dumb white suburban studs. Another thing about
the Forgotten Rebels
that is always evident on their releases, is they never lose their humourous observations which is fucking great. Comes in a great cover with all those funny lyrics to sing along to and get kicked out the pub. Cheers Dick for passing this on.
Other Peoples Music Records
'No Nonsense' (fake01) CD 2000
Another new band here from Dundee in Scotland on a brand new British label Tenderloin Records. And this ain't a bad debut. I was expecting a much more Oi! style in sound from what I'd read about this band but these have some good powerful guitars kicking off amongst the early 80's style of songs, that remind me of an
circa '
Dead Cities' ,
but far less manic. Especially on the first track
Fake Patriots
come across as a no messing bunch of street punk toughs who do actually know what's going on around em. Take songs like
'Force Fed'
about the education system and
'This Is Now'
cussing how things have took a turn for the worse. Having said that they also own a dry sensa yuma, although it's hard to spot without a
read through their lyrics. Take the
'Tug, Tug, Tug'
track which is a true story about a women's underwear kleptomaniac and of course
with the hilarious line of
"I'm right behind you!"
Other interesting topics covered were class struggle, trendies in the punk scene and GM food crops. Scotts gruff vocals can be a bit one dimensional at times and the MacGregor brothers musical outbursts can get pretty wooden here and there, but maybe they'll pick up a few more fluid tricks of the trade as they get more experience on the live front and on record? Their best songs are when they fire in the protest like on
with its
"Jackboot law...Diktators, Broken Jaw...Diktators"
chorus. Having said that I couldn't really pick out one outstanding track from this textbook 13-track set, so they could definitely do with some experimenting in the rehearsal room before their next full length, especially in their style and sound. If you like your punk as the title says...'No Nonsense' and are happy with 32 minutes of no thrills punk, then this is for you!

'The Reverend James'
(dlpr2006) CD 2000
Happy go lucky melodic Brum punk here and it's a pretty small dose of action for an album nowadays, with only a measly 8-tracks to scrape em up from the indie pit that they seem destined for.
sure know how to arrange a song and are accomplished musicians, although Paul Jellybrain would dispute this fact! But like a lot of their other stuff it's lacking that bite, that all out yell of defiance that could make em a contender in the punk scene
today. The vocals are either too low in the mix or Rod Frame (the singer) just ain't got the power to project em over our spikey heads. Apart from that hiccup the production on here is top notch with the guitars crisp 'n' clear. I much prefer em though when they go for a more sinister approach like on the addictive
'Get Out',
that boasts a great riff chugging away. This is easily their best number. And this sort of style is what
should strive for, not that fucking weak-willed, diluted, bit of a twang nonsense that they seem so very happy and content with! Punk bands should never be happy. And show me a punk who's content and I'll show you a liar! It's followed by the only other highlight
'Shut Up'
, that has a much more abrasive sound than the rest of the album, which was pretty fucking dull by comparison. I fucking hate the horrible cover picture, it reminded me of some Bangra compilation and depicts the said Reverend who apparently done a bit of serial killing in his time! So I'll give you a snap of the lads in action instead.
'Split 45' (ppr00) 2000
Just got this in via Federal Express from
the Voids
StraitJacket label, and it was good to hear a couple of the hungrier sounding punk bands from the Californian scene.
Narcoleptic Youth
who have one of those strange but ultimately punk rock names, are by no means sleeping beauties. They lurch out with a
Dead Kennedyesque
style to their 3 fast, blasts of pissed off mayhem. Bondage the singer has a distinctive sneering, snotty vocal which gives em an edge on their contemporaries. The razor wire guitars remind me of the East Bay Ray frenzied method on 'In God We trust' era. Especially
'Class Of 99
' with it's transistorized production and the
"Computer bits, little shits/ babies having babies and disco hits"
lyrical observation. Sharp, witty lyrics about being pissed off in suburbia are always a must.
'We Don't Belong'
carries forward the individuality clause in their contracts and general fuck ups are bought to light in the sickening
'Vicious Killers'
. A good introduction to war painted punk singers and a band who have started to pack out venues.
The Voids
have been around a fair bit now, having ditched the duel female singers for a more compact lineup. Adri the surviving siren is well capable of committing to the songs, coz she's got one helluva powerful, angry vocal to spray the adrenaline soaked guitar licks. You can almost see the venom dripping off her pierced tongue as she rolls her
with the duel vocal combat between her and guitarist (Chris).
had a great power-chording riff, best one on the EP. But on the whole the machine gun vocals and rapid backing were sometimes lost amongst the packed lyrical content. A trait that made a couple of their 5-song spurts hard to get into. But who said punk was meant to be easy?
The Voids
are certainly one band that don't stand around. You won't find flies around this mob, they go straight for the jugular every time and even with the lyric sheet in front of ya, you can't keep up with their blitzkrieg pace. I'd like to see em try to put a few less words in the lyrics so they can actually get the message across clearer, coz they do have a message but it was hard to decipher amongst the cryptic lyrics. Best track for me was the brooding
'Frightening Ways'
coz it had a slightly less than frantic twisted intro, which added a new string to their fast as fuck bow! Yep this split release shows two newer punk bands with differing styles but full of venom, which I like a lot. Comes in a good fold out sleeve with a particularly gruesome looking Matador getting his 'come upance' from a pissed off bull...OLE!
Check out both band web sites at
or Straitjacket Records at
'A Cancerous Society'
(mass24) LP 2000
This was a big surprise. I'd only heard their previous single on this label which I didn't find that good at all, so when this came in I thought "oh no, not another load of growls from the Valleys!". But ain't it great to be proved wrong! This is a fucking ripping improvement on the previous
In The Shit
. Biggest highlight had to be the big sinister power- chord riffs and the suitably nasty anguished vocals. Power is a thing that has some obvious definitions but it comes crashing out the grooves of this LP, without a shadow of doubt. Maybe it's coz of vinyl? Whatever, this record definitely has an atmospheric which was originated by the blinding intro of
'Minds At War' .
Which really set the aggro raging. Great production as well, which was notably missing from their earlier releases, but not on here! Crisp and clear makes all the difference.
In The Shit
are for want of a very big word
And this album is one big wrath-filled statement of discontent and hate, that rages in the underbelly of Britain today. And ain't it always a pleasure to hear when it's captured and done with conviction! These punks ain't playing at it, they are it! And with that monstrous guitar in command, that drags you round the room like a rag doll you at their mercy. The guitar riffs alone on this make for great punk. The strangled singing completes the rage, although some of the depressing lyrics can be hard o take for 12 tracks, but who needs em when the momentum keeps this monster on the rampage. They sustain this state till track 5 rolls in with a
type of skank that turns into the big ugly monster they call
. Side two keeps this up with an untamed
'The Meek (Shall Inherit Nothing)'
, only letting slip once or twice with a screechy
'U Make Me Sick'
. The paranoid
slows things right down with a another great intro but quickly heads into a stop/start mode that was fucking frustrating and probably ruined the makings of a really good track. They end things with the throwaway
Screaming Beer'
which was pretty average till the final chorus chant kicks in and come to a finale with a strange choice of cover...
, which although created a few new twists of their own didn't really do the original any favours. But not a bad record at all and comes with some good computer graphics on the sleeve.
Check out Mass Products Records at
'Latent Image' Tape 2000
are a new London combo straight out the bedroom. From the stark cover and the officially minimal sleeve layout, you get a distinct impression that this is gonna be pseudo-intellectualism on a grand scale. Well maybe not grand but they quote Rimbaud, Fromm and some other geezer called Pablo Perelman (who?) on the photocopied sleeve. Mr Perelman, whose film 'Latent Image', is apparently this 3-track demo's inspiration. So still none the wiser and armed with my thuggish council house outlook on life, lets see what tunes or should I say statements are on offer? First impressions are 3 abrasive, cold, low-fi dirges stripped back to basics with guitar, bass and drums, reminiscent of early
. But unlike
(who were great innovators in the first wave of punk)
just ain't mastered the edge to create an effective noise. They're just too highbrow for their own good, and never keep your attention span for very long. The lyrics are like minor manifestos written by ex-public schoolboys and are delivered with the standard tortured vocal. Their only major saving grace was the slashing guitar that made a welcomed entrance now and again. Less lyrics would've helped the songs no end, and some rhythm wouldn't go a miss. Can't really see these making a big impact on a punk audience let alone an experimental one!
(pp058) CD/45 2000
Just in time for the Euro 2000 Football Champion- ships next week...and I can't fucking wait! And neither can Southgate's
Guitar Gangsters
who cash in with 4 tracks of gangsterdom. They kick off with a powerful version of that old school hymn
'Lords Of The Dance'
Although the thought of that sounds pretty preposterous, they pull it off with their great beefy guitar sound. As always the Pete Ley vocals give it that distinctive but sometimes pompous sounding flair. The title track was over- shadowed by it's (Euro 2000 Mix), which for me was the standout track of the EP, with the piss- taking lyrics. Followed closely by yet another cover this time
'The Great Escape'
complete with that distinctive whistle which is terrace terrain no doubt about it. Their only self-penned track was
'Match Of The Day'
, which recalled the after match activities and all of it's reminiscing...
"scoring for England"
with the local girls in the park, was a more melodic tune. A lot of punks seem to write this band off coz they don't fit any pigeonholes. But I think this is alright and makes a nice change to hear a punk band with tunes and anthemic choruses instead of some Top Twenty rubbish that will no doubt rear it's ugly head in the coming month. Comes with a crystal clear speaker vibrating production. WORTH

'Don't Give Up The Fight'
(mad20005cd) CD' 2000.
Now here's a totally different approach to punk with it's testosteroned twin buddy vocals and ultra- hardcore sweaty reveal! I'm afraid this album don't really move me one way or another. Yeah sure the duel vocals have differing styles like the higher snarly growl and lower guttural growl. But the noise they emit comes across as a couple of drunk ex- commando barks to me! They appear to be very poor Wattie Buchan imitators, and without the Scottish brogue and broken English, it just don't cut! The whole vocal approach to this record drags it down and totally fucks it right up! The lyrics ain't too bad on closer inspection, which is a shame, coz they don't get past the sleeve with two pit bulls as interpreters! Geezers like Roger from
Agnostic Front
can make it a threat, these make it a chore. The inclusion of the by now 'compulsory' comic sketches in between tracks are good and made light relief to the clumsy band stampede. In fact they steal the whole show from the very bland pedestrian music on offer. The guitar riffs just ain't inventive enough to carry this off. And for fucks sake they've got duel guitars as well!!! So why the fuck don't they take advantage of em, is anyone's guess? Where's the fucking power then lads? And what happened to the far better sound they conjured up on their previous 'Hate Of Mind' EP? Some bands just ain't ready yet for the big leap to album status and the
Bloody Sods
on this recording are one of em! There just ain't enough quality tracks to justify it! Having said that
'No Safety'
was a one of the better tunes on display with a pretty good chorus, along with older favourites like
'Stoic Enemy'
Win Or Lose'
retaining some dignity but that was little recompence. They also do a fair cover of
Suicidal Tendencies
War Inside My Head'
which does make good use of the those duplicate grunts for a short while, but if you've got an albums worth of songs and the covers are one of the main highlights, I think you need to seriously consider where the hell do you go next from here? They are doing a Euro tour any minute now so I'll be able to see what the live situation brings up!!! But on this showing don't give up the fight yet and definitely don't give up the day job!

'Deadhead'/'The Witch'
(sns003) 45 2000
Fast, frantic, fiendish horror punk here from the wilds of bonny Scotland with a heavy cryptic gothic feel, especially amongst the song matter and B-Movie horror sleeve artwork.
is over before you can say Boris Karloff and was a chanting blur. Flipped with a cover of
The Sonics
'The Witch'
and this for me just steals the credits with it's ineffective riff. The vocals on both songs are good but the screaming over excitable yelps dotted amidst the fog ain't really my chalice of blood. This band has a big garagey feel in the way the songs come over, but after a few listens you can see why Derek stuck em on his minor but enthusiastic punk roster. Definitely one for the ghouls out there!

'Temporary Lifestyle'
(opa006) CD/EP 2000
Anybody wanna good laff???? Well this won't be for you!!! This is basically a CD with two tracks (8 minutes and 9 minutes respectively) of some spaced out guru who's obviously smoked too much weed strumming away on his guitar. Takes me back to the good of old days of those experimental outfits that used to haunt the classified tape columns of Sounds, pleading with someone to buy their 'off the wall' racket produced on cheapo tape decks the length and breath of the land. Literally hundreds of em with weird arty names and titles like
. In fact this could well be one of the last breed to strum the face of the earth. Fuck knows how they afford to duplicate em? (what's even more alarming is that these musician cooperatives have the nerve to let loose this stuff on society!!!) Maybe they get it on the National Health, but hey this is number 6 you'd think they'd have got the message by now!!! How the cottage industry of collectives has moved on these days is astonishing. Well this is a good space filler if nothing else. But £3.00 for this is fucking taking a liberty. I can listen to my baby nephew playing his plastic guitar for nothing!!!

I've been working very hard at a new endeavor, creating digital patterns. This first one I created has taken me quite sometime. I have learned a lot and poured tons of work, sweat, tears and love into this pattern… And now I'm beyond excited to say that it is almost ready to be released!
This pattern is a girl's dress/top that ranges in size from 12M to 8 years old. There are optional flutter sleeves included in the pattern.
I think it is a very fun and customizable garment and I can't wait to see what others do with fabric options and finishing details! If you would like to be a tester, please click here to fill out the tester form! (see sizing information below to pick the size that's right for the little person you plan to sew for!)
The pattern will hopefully be fully ready and for sale by Friday September 12! Check back for more posts about the Emerson and to see even more lovely pics in the upcoming weeks!

Dear Parents, Caregivers and Friends of St Mary's School,
I was at the rugby on Saturday night with my father and we were remembering, as we walked to the ground, how he taught me the times tables.
Dad was very old school, and he believed in learning the tables by rote. So for a couple of years many of my evenings were spent going two ones are two, six sevens are forty two, and so on.
The sticking point for me was the seven times but through perseverance I developed at least a mastery. My sister who is younger never needed to learn by rote she was one of these people capable of picturing the groups in her mind and giving you the right answer.My youngest sister drew the objects to be multiplied—coloured in circles or squares and this worked for her.
All of us mastered our tables but we got there in different ways. The key was perseverance—to achieve anything you have to perservere but also support at home is vital.
I probably never told Dad how much he had helped but I think that he knows deep inside, in fact I think I'll tell him this
Have a great week,
Mike Brosnahan.

EATS will be starting a once-a-month Community Meal for our families: a sit-down meal at Thompson (tablecloths and flowers!) with volunteers serving the food. We'll have fresh produce, eggs, milk and protein, as well as books, toys and clothes for families to take home. We are super excited and hope you will join us as we plan and execute! If you would like to volunteer, sign up here.
The Community Meal will replace our Weekend Food program as the good folks at the Arlington Food Pantry are moving to an every week distribution model (Wednesdays from 9-10:30 am and 5:30-7 pm at 117 Broadway) and we don't want to duplicate their hard work.
We've loved our Weekend Food program and estimate that we've given out over 50,000 pounds of food during our distributions! Thank you to everyone who has helped make it happen, especially our Weekend Food organizer-in-chief, Nicole Melnik! We have one more distribution this Friday so sign up here if you can help. Thanks!

Demarchy or lottocracy is a political system run by randomly selected decision makers who have been selected by lot. These groups, sometimes termed "policy juries," "citizens' juries," or "consensus conferences," deliberately make decisions about public policies in much the same way that juries decide criminal cases.
Demarchy attempts to overcome some of the functional problems with conventional Representative democracy, which is often subject to manipulation by special interests and a division between professional policymakers (politicians and lobbyists) vs. a largely passive, uninvolved and often uninformed electorate. According to Australian philosopher John Burnheim, random selection of policymakers would make it easier for everyday citizens to meaningfully participate, and harder for special interests to corrupt the process.
More generally, random selection of decision makers is known as sortition. The Athenian democracy made much use of sortition, with nearly all government offices filled by lottery rather than by election. In the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Ontario, a group of citizens was randomly selected to create a Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform to investigate and recommend changes to the provinces' electoral systems. The Old Order Amish use a combination of election and sortition to select church leaders; men receiving two or three nominations to fill a vacancy (the number varies by district) are then asked to select a psalm book containing a slip of paper, one of those slips being marked to indicate who will take on the burden of the position.
Most modern democracies are made up of republics or parliaments. In both of these cases, citizens participate in the direct election of individuals to represent them. Unfortunately, most citizens have neither the time nor the inclination to adequately study which person or party to vote for (see rational ignorance). As a result, much time and money is devoted to political canvassing and advertising — where politicians promote themselves in much the same way as a commercial product.
The result of this is that people vote according to their impressions of the politician and party based upon political advertising, plus any other form of media that has influenced them. The problem with this is that people may not necessarily vote for the best candidate since they have not taken the time to examine whom to vote for. Demarchy does away with the election process, thus saving the time and money involved in self-promotion, and instead gives power to a person who has not attempted to promote themselves in this manner.
Demarchy could also replace traditional political parties. Since people are randomly selected to act as representatives, there is very little chance that the person involved is part of a "party political machine." While random selection will not remove political bias, what it will do is select a person as a representative who has not had to compromise their own beliefs in order to gain political alliances and support.
Institutional corruption (such as a person being supported by businesses in order for both to mutually benefit from the situation) is also unlikely—any corruption would occur after the person is selected and is more likely to be reported (since the person selected would probably not be used to corruption at that scale).
Many politicians make decisions based not necessarily upon what is the best thing to do, nor upon their own ethics and morals, but upon what is best for their own political gain. A politician is dependent upon his or her good standing with voters, as well as an ability to "fit in" with the party political structure. Since a person's time in politics sometimes is short, it is only natural that they do everything possible to continue their career.
Demarchy, because it is based upon random selection, does not make a person's career dependent upon popularity, and, because a demarchy is likely to remove the direct influence of political parties, there is no "party line" that the individual must adhere to. This is not to say that political alliances will not be formed after a person's selection—but that the structure of demarchy is less suited to decision making based upon politics.
Although this form of democratic thinking has yet to be popularized or rigorously examined and critiqued, there are three broad areas of thinking:
The first area of thinking concerns whether demarchy should supplement or completely replace conventional representative democracy. Supplement would mean that randomly selected people serve in a representative council or senate only. Complete replacement would mean that individuals from a group of randomly selected people are directly appointed into specific government department or area of responsibility. For example, a person may be selected to make decisions about national defense or the environment.
The second area of thinking concerns the range and extent of decision-making and focuses upon macro- vs. micro-government. Should demarchy be practiced at a federal/national level only, at a local/community level only, or should it be practiced at every level of government? This issue is important, but focuses more on other issues of democracy that are not necessarily specific to random-selection of decision makers.
The third area of thinking concerns whether those randomly selected should first meet some form of minimum criteria (such as level of education, lack of criminal record, age, and so forth) in order to be selected, or whether anyone should be allowed to be represented. In the former case, some form of meritocracy would apply.
Burnheim's model of demarchy involves the partial or complete dissolution of government departments and bureaucracies, which are replaced by citizen's juries. Demarchy as a concept does not necessitate such a radical step as integral to its purpose.
When one considers how much time and effort politicians and bureaucracies expend in gaining or supporting political strength, the practice of demarchy may be quite efficient. Politicians in western governments spend a good deal of their time either influencing others or being influenced by others. The purpose of this influence is that politicians and lobbyists can achieve their political goals. Because demarchy selects decision-makers randomly, the time and effort spent on politician machinations and manipulation is limited. In theory, therefore, demarchy could be a more efficient system of democracy than having elected officials.
No modern nation has attempted to use demarchy as a primary system for political decision making, so it is difficult to assess problems of transition or shortcomings of the system.
Possible barriers to implementation include:
Political candidates are generally familiar with the issues facing their constituents, and are usually elected based on how the constituents judge their reaction to those issues. A randomly selected jury may not actually be well-educated about the political problems of the day (because they would not be professional politicians) so the culture of a demarchist society would have to change dramatically to educate citizens on complex political issues. Without the need to curry favor among potential voters in order to succeed in future elections, there might be little incentive (other than public opinion) to listen to constituents. There is also little incentive, other than the laws which also apply to existing politicians, for the randomly selected legislators to avoid corrupting the system for personal gain.
Demarchy is designed to make balanced decisions by including a diversity of people in a consensus-forming process. It is unclear how this could be applied to an office which is held by a single person, such as a president. Elimination of such offices would be criticized as leaving the country without clear leadership in times of crisis or military emergency. An alternative to elimination might be the election of the executive by a randomly selected group of people, or a change to a system where the legislature chooses an executive in the form of a prime minister. (Many countries already use the latter parliamentary system of government.)
Demarchy also runs considerable risk of appointing people who are not educated or informed about the issues they have to make decisions on, or people who simply do not care. (For example, a Demarchy would possibly force shopkeepers to make decisions on defense, or the education system). People who are apathetic towards politics may find themselves thrust into a position of power they do not want and cannot wield effectively. Even more dangerous is the prospect of appointing incompetent people to positions of power. Any system that decides who can and cannot be given political power runs the risk of being abused, except for public elections, which of course destroy the whole purpose of a demarchy.
A possible solution for the problem of placing uneducated or unwilling people in power would be to make people apply to be selected, but this does not solve the problem entirely (people could still apply even if they were not really competent).
An example of demarchy is the use of a jury of peers in criminal cases. The jury is normally a body of randomly selected citizens who decide the guilty or not guilty verdict, which is a prime example of demarchy.
The concept of demarchy played an important role in Frederik Pohl's science fiction novel, The Years of the City (ISBN 0-671-46047-1), which is set in a near-future New York City. In the novel, all government offices, including the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court, are filled by average citizens chosen using a form of selective service. Appointees are aided in their duties by android-like Digital Colleagues, extensive computer databases, and an overall goal of reducing bureaucracy and legislation rather than creating more. The last of the book's five sections (Gwenanda and the Supremes) focuses on the story of a Supreme Court Justice.
In Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space series of novels the concept of demarchy has been used to flatten hierarchies. Here, in one of the human factions—the demarchists—everyone is theoretically equal in the realm of government and all major political related issues are voted upon by everyone via neural implant. The "Demarchy" in this society is actually more of a Direct democracy. Joan D. Vinge also uses demarchy in the sense of electronic direct democracy in her 1978 novel The Outcasts of Heaven Belt (later incorporated into The Heaven Chronicles), perhaps the earliest use of the term.
In Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy, the Martian government's lower house is selected via Demarchy in the third book Blue Mars.
In Songs of Distant Earth by Arthur C. Clarke, the futuristic society on Thalassa is ruled by demarchy.
Demarchy could also be called klerostocracy, as kleros is the Greek word for casting lots. Klerostocracy would literally mean, "Rule by random selection." In Book 4 of Aristotle's The Politics,[1]
|I mean for example, that it is thought to be democratic for the offices to be assigned by lot, for them to be elected (assigned by vote) oligarchic.
The concept of demarchy is similar to but slightly different from L. León's concept of lottocracy.[2] Burnheim ... insists that the random selection be made only from volunteers.[3] In the chapter A Concept for Government, León states: ... that first of all, the job must not be liked..[4] A detailed protocol for lottocracy is described in the same chapter.

Fresh Air for Happiness
Are you frustrated or stressed, feeling like you are always chasing success but never really getting there?
Do other people's needs always come before your own, are you desperately clinging on to the idea that one day you will be successful?
- Would you like more time?
- Would you like to be less stressed?
- Would you like more fulfilling relationships?
- Would you like less misery and heart ache?
- Would you like more energy and more joy?
- Would you like less pain?
- Would you like to be more successful?
- Would you like to know you are enough?
Are you fed up of looking for answers? Trying hard; working harder? You may have spent loads of time and money on books, CD's and seminars?
Do you just want to be happy?!
I did. I was always reading motivational books or listening to CD's. Hoping the next seminar I attended would have all the answers. I always thought that when I was successful; had a bigger team at work; made more money; could afford the holidays I wanted to go on as a family; I would be happier. But still I chased the dream. Each year I would set the goals and try to believe I would achieve them. I had a couple of years that went pretty well, but mostly I would get to the end of one year and hope that the next one would be better. As an optimistic soul I carried on reading everything I could, listening to motivational CD's and attending trainings and seminars. Until a series of random events led me to discover some methodologies that have fundamentally changed my life. On that journey I have discovered that:
"Success follows happiness not the other way round and the skills I teach and the way I teach them are helping more people everyday."
- If like me you have been trying for some time to find the "thing" that would make all the difference you are probably cynical about any new solution, so here are what a couple of my clients have said:
"Going outdoors walking whilst listening to the podcasts fills me with joy! The sessions have helped me to understand what I'm responsible for and what I'm not, and what I can and can't control, which has helped me to make some big, life changing decisions. I am so grateful!" – Lou Czek
"I wanted to say a huge and massive thank you …….
Were it not for you I would not have the amazing relationship I now have…. You taught me to look at things in a whole new way that was completely different to how most people work. It was so refreshing and the best part was although I was unsure about it I trusted you, tried what you were teaching and IT WORKED! …..things happen for me far quicker than I could have imagined possible……it made every aspect of my life better." Alex Brown
Whilst it has taken me a number of years to develop this particular program, the principals and ideas behind it have been around as long as mankind has. The only difference is that in today's society we have become disconnected from our natural resources and ability to tap into our own innate knowing.
What I want to share with you, will make a massive difference to your life, how you feel and what you achieve. This system is incredibly simple. The problem when things are simple is they are easy not to do. That is why having me guide you through the process actually doing the work while you are learning is what will make the difference. This unique course is the only one that helps create a real state change in you by taking you outside allowing your brain to be receptive to significant learning. When you move you engage both sides of your brain, giving you more resources to use as you are lead through the course exercises. You will actually create the change you need whilst gently strolling outside.
So what does this cost you?
If you were able to find a coach to work with you in this way it would cost you £1200-£2000 (and there aren't many of us around). An on line course that you could sit and study and then try and implement, typically sell at around £1000. I am keen for you to be able to access this change as quickly and easily as possible. This unique programme comes to you in 12 downloadable sessions,as I have no deliver or handling costs I can pass these savings straight on to you.
I know that many people at this stage offer a whole pile of bonuses that you are unlikely to use, to make you feel as if you are getting even better value for money. You don't need loads of extras to make this work! The point is,this is so simple I am giving you everything you need to change your life and how you feel! I am giving you this today for just £197!
I don't want to burden you with a load of extras pretending that you are getting even better value for money. I am giving you everything you need, clean and simple. I know that by simply going outside with me and following the things I ask you to do while we are out together you will experience all the change you need, you will feel happier, be less stressed and your success will follow.
However I want you to be in no doubt about taking action though so I am offering a complete 100% money back guarantee. If you buy the course, try it and for any reason it is not for you in the first 60 days I will refund all your money.
Remember when you take this step you will:
- Have more time?
- Be less stressed?
- Have more fulfilling relationships?
- Have less misery and heart ache?
- Have more energy and more joy?
- Have less pain?
- Be more successful?
- Believe you are enough?
You will be Happier!
When you come outside and take a stroll with me, engage in the exercises I teach you. All this can be yours. I wish you all the happiness, success and love you deserve.

The inspiration for Flip's Twisted World is pretty obvious within just a few minutes of play: Nintendo's Super Mario Galaxy. That's not a slam on Majesco's upcoming Wii platformer; it's just that if you like the idea of hopping around free floating structures with unpredictable gravity, then Flip might be the game that helps you bide your time until the 2010 release of Super Mario Galaxy 2.
You are Flip, a wizard's apprentice that is bored with his line of work because his boss isn't teaching him enough spells. So, during some down time, Flip starts monkeying around with the wizard's stuff and ends up finding a prism-like cube. Touching the cube activates it, which pulls in a bunch of the wizard's stuff -- including a prized spell book -- as well as releasing a whole mess of monsters. Now, Flip must travel through five different worlds, such as a clockwork tower and a vibrant meadow, and collect the wizard's lost belongings to break out of the prism and get back home.
The fact that Flip was pulled into the prism serves as the explanation for the chief mechanic of the game: rotating the world to get from A to B. When you hold down the B button on the remote, a set of arrows appears around Flip. Twisting the remote moves the arrows. When you release the button, the entire stage shifts. You better hope you shifted it with something underneath you, because gravity moves with the architecture. And it does so right away. During my play session, I tossed Flip into the void more than once.
Flip has a handful of magic weapons, too. You access these with the nunchuk. Use the stick to switch between magical gear like a freeze ray, electric blast, and a spiked mace. To attack fantasy-inspired monsters like little dragons, you just shake the remote. The mace was particularly useful during a boss battle with a giant flying dragon. You need to stand in the doorway of towers to taunt the dragon. When it rushes you, it gets its head stuck in the door. Then, just swat away.
Flip's Twisted World is set for a January 2010 release, giving Majesco plenty of time to tweak with the rotating mechanic which could use a bit more work. Rotating the arrows by moving the remote was a little wonky, requiring me to twist my wrist around any which way but loose until the arrows finally lined up how I needed them to be. If fixed, I could see this mechanic becoming quite natural after just a few minutes of play.

Kids usually play videogames for fun, but Australia wants them to play to understand why their parents got divorced.
If I had to choose one concept I never thought there'd be a videogame based on, it'd be Shaquille O'Neal as a kung-fu fighter. If I had to choose a second, I'd pick divorce, but somehow videogames with both of these basic concepts have been developed, with the latter recently launching in Australia.
The Australian government has created a videogame that is designed to help kids understand and cope with the divorce of their parents. In tandem with a book, the game is said to answer questions that kids might have over the heartbreaking situation.
There's no special pre-order bonus for this one, so don't feel like you have to rush out to the store to pickup a copy. The game is designed for kids under 12 and is available from Australia's Department of Human Services for free.
Human Services Minister Tanya Plibersek says the game "provides an opportunity for parents to sit with children and go through the games and go through the activity book and have the discussions that are naturally prompted by doing these activities." Exactly what kids do in the game wasn't revealed.
Videogames have been proven as a great method to teach kids or get them interested in something, but this divorce game make me feel uncomfortable. Are there actual goals? Is the music depressing? Does it point out that sometimes videogames themselves cause divorce? Someone get their hands on it and let us know, please.

The Lord Jesus Christ must have considered this persuasive and powerful way of communication to be of great importance, because it appears eight times in the four gospels and seven times in Revelation, all spoken by Christ Himself—as well as one more time apparently uttered by the Apostle John in Revelation 13:9.
It is urgent, therefore, that people not just "hear" God's Word as the saying goes "in one ear and out the other," but really hear it, with understanding minds, believing hearts and obedient lives.
What does hearing mean?
- It implies a willingness to listen, to pay attention.
- It implies a committed sincerity to hear what is being said.
Jesus said: "Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life" (John 5:24). Hearing God's message with believing minds and hearts means the contrast of either going to heaven or hell.
Jesus also said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand" (John 10:27-28). Our Lord not only promised us everlasting life, but also assures us that the life of the believer is truly everlasting and can never be taken away from us.
We need to read the Scriptures because to hear the voice of our Savior Jesus Christ we need to be grounded in the Word. We need to become aware of His great love and the price He paid on the cross for us, so that one day we can join Him in heaven and spend eternity with Him. Jesus said: "Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation." (John 5:25-29) Everyone will hear Him at that time and for most people, it will be too late.
In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 we read: "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord." Here we read about the ones that were and those that are true to His Word and listen and obeyed what He says.
"He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" is a vital warning that listeners need to take into consideration very carefully, because, seeking God's truth takes energy and focus; it takes a willingness to be challenged and to changed.
Hearing God's words and not putting them into practice is like the foolish man who built his house upon sand 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall (Matthew 7:26-27). And Romans 10:17 tell us that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
If we do not listen we will miss out on what God has for us. Unfortunately, most people who call themselves Christians do not listen to what the Spirit says to them or to the churches. They prefer to follow their own whims, the latest trend, or the traditions of men.
The only way to really be a Christian is to hear what the Spirit says and to obey Him. Jesus explained that the family of God consists of those who listen to the Father: "My mother and My brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it" (Luke 8:21). He also said: "He who is of God hears God's words" (John 8:47); "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me" (John 10:27); "Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice" (John 18:37).
Jesus said: "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32)
Are we listening to our Father? Are we willing hearers of the word of God?
Hearing and obeying carries a great responsibility, which is followed by rewards that are out of this world. Therefore, he who has ears to hear let him hear!
