Abide November 25, 2012 "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." (John 15:4-5) As recorded in John 14-16, many of Christ's last words to His disciples as He was about to leave them regarded abiding. The word meno occurs 18 times in this discourse and is translated not only "abide," but also "remain," "dwell," "continue," and "be present." Let us look at what He told them about abiding while He was "yet present" (14:25) with them. First, "the Father . . . dwelleth in me" (14:10), "I am in the Father, and the Father in me" (v. 11). That is, they are one and the same, inseparably abiding together, giving great power to those believing on Him (v. 12). Furthermore, the very Spirit of God, the "Comforter," will "abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive . . . but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you" (vv. 16-17). "I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you" (v. 20). Abiding in Him, as we see in our text and in verse 7 (as opposed to the tragic end of those who "abide not" |v. 6|), brings forth much fruit, and that fruit shall "remain" (v. 16). There is one requirement--that we keep His commandments (14:23 and 15:10), and if we do so, we will "continue" and "abide" in His love (vv. 15:9-10). "These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full" (15:11). Not only are we to abide while in this world, but throughout eternity. "In my Father's house are many mansions |same root word, meaning abiding places|: . . . I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also" (14:2-3).

Sunday Sermonette
Jesus Christ--Our Hope November 18, 2012 "This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck." (1 Timothy 1:18-19) Paul had been entrusted with the gospel of Jesus Christ by Christ Himself (vv. 1, 12-16), and he did not take this fact lightly when it was time to pass on the job of guarding and propagating the truth to others. In our text, following his praise to God for giving him such a function, Paul now "charges" Timothy to follow in his footsteps. The word "commit" finds usage in banking vocabulary and implies a deposit of something of great value. Timothy was to continue to teach the valuable, life-changing truth of the gospel in love (v. 5) while guarding the flock against the teaching of false teachers (v. 3). Paul had not found such a responsibility to be easy. In our text he reminds Timothy of this fact, encouraging him to "war a good warfare." Note the two weapons of Timothy's warfare mentioned here. First, faith, which, while not specified, certainly implies faith in God and Christ's atoning sacrifice, and faith that this cause is just and right. Second, a good conscience, yielding a life and ministry free from both controlling sin and the guilt of that sin. Such a conscience comes from a lifestyle brought into submission to God's Word. In fact, this couplet--faith and a good conscience--is said to be "the end of the commandment" (v. 5), along with love. Some (v. 19) had abandoned these vital weapons to the "shipwreck" of their own faith and the faith of their followers. Nevertheless, such weapons, properly used, are "mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds" (2 Corinthians 10:4). JDM h/t: J D MORRIS, INSTITUTE FOR CREATION RESEARCH

Sunday Sermonette
Created to Rule the Day November 11, 2012 "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." (Genesis 1:16) It seems that throughout history, mankind has ignored or distorted the purpose for which God created the sun. Many cultures have even worshiped the sun, teaching that the sun was the source of all being, even human life. Temples were built in its honor, human sacrifices were made to appease it, whole civilizations were dedicated to its worship. The nation Israel, which had lived among sun-worshiping Egyptians for centuries, was warned not to "lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and . . . |see| the sun, and . . . be driven to worship" (Deuteronomy 4:19) under penalty of death, "For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God" (Deuteronomy 4:24). One of mankind's primary purposes is to worship God, but the sun was created by God for man's benefit. He is a God of grace and desires to "freely give us all things" (Romans 8:32). The purpose of the sun is no mystery. Its Creator says that along with the moon and stars it is "to divide the day from the night . . . and . . . be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years . . . to give light upon the earth" (Genesis 1:14-15). There will come a time, however, when the sun will no longer be needed by God's people, for in our eternal home "there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light" (Revelation 22:5). "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof" (Revelation 21:23). Best of all, we shall be with Him. JDM h/t: J D MORRIS, INSTITUTE FOR CREATION RESEARCH

Sunday Sermonette
Root of Bitterness November 4, 2012 "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled." (Hebrews 12:15) Bitterness and a bitter spirit should never characterize a person who has experienced the saving grace of God through Jesus Christ. No matter how seriously one may have been wronged, if he has known God's forgiving grace for his own wrongdoings, he should manifest that same grace in his life toward others, even though they do not merit it (for neither did he merit God's forgiving grace himself). Bitterness is a characteristic of the ungodly "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness" (Romans 3:14). A Christian must never try to rationalize it as "righteous indignation" or to think that certain injustices give him the "right" to be bitter and resentful. "If ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish" (James 3:14-15). Rooted bitterness will soon "spring up," not only robbing the bitter believer of joy and true fruitfulness, but bearing bitter fruit whereby many others will "be defiled." The antidote, of course, is never to "fail of the grace of God." That is, we need to be "looking diligently," moment by moment, at the wonderful grace of God by which we were saved through faith and in which we continue to live each day. Therefore, "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you" (Ephesians 4:31-32). Otherwise, we not only hurt both ourselves and others, but we also grieve "the holy Spirit of God" (v. 30). HMM h/t: HENRY M MORRIS, INSTITUTE FOR CREATION RESEARCH

After experiencing one year of President Obama's Idea of "hope" and "change," and disturbing news about his affiliation for radical racists, such us Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton, Prof. Robert Gates, and his unconditional protection of Muslim extremists I see a scary pattern developing here.
Obama has also shown publicly his admiration for socialism, of which the basic theory is totalitarian communism. Obama has on several occasions shown that he is willing to concrete his power by any means necessary. Starting with replacing all key positions with his czars, and showing admiration for words like "indoctrination". I wrote several posts about the similarities between the Obama administration and the totalitarian systems.
One of his key persons Obama uses to give his agenda a legal coating is Attorney General Eric Holder.
For several months now there has been a rumor that Obama wants to have some sort of paramilitary group that is willing to keep the citizens in line, if necessary, with lethal force. Unfortunately for Obama he cannot use the official channels such as the FBI, NSA, and other official services for this agenda. When a private Security Force appeared in Hardin, Montana and acted as Sheriffs, the first question that came to mind was, Is Obama using this Company for his agenda of creating a private Gestapo Army? After too many protests Obama had to pull back and give some shallow speeches about "dry runs of cooperation with local Law enforcement".
But it seems to be official that Obama has found his private Army. And it is worse than we thought.
On Tuesday January 19, I read some disturbing news on the Washington Times online site. According to the Times, key officials have dropped charges (last November) against two members of the Black Panther Party (Source – Washington Times: http://is.gd/6Ay8F).
What happened? Obviously two of the New Black Panthers had been videotaped with one carrying a weapon and both reportedly using racial epithets while dressed in paramilitary garb outside a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day 2008. Several citizens complained and felt threatened. Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perrelli, had a strange habit of consulting key White House lawyers in person at exactly the times the key Black Panther decisions were being made.
Now that sure raises some Questions here. Is this the election of the future? You vote as Obama wants or the Black Panthers will pay you a visit?
The article from the Times mentioned above will prove to you that the Panthers hold strong ties to the Democratic Party, The official Obama White house, and multiple key officials.
The time line shown here by the Washington Times demonstrates how the Panther's used their civilian connections, such as the NAACP, who also paid the legal fees to avoid charges. (Source – Washington Times: http://is.gd/6AyWf).
Knowing Obama's admiration for radical racists, his hatred for white people (he personally expressed in his book), and his dream of a totalitarian socialist country, in which he can rule the way he wants, the militant black Panther's sure would be a perfect asset.
But who are the Black Panthers? This is for our younger readers who might not remember them or maybe only know the white washed version of the story, provided to them in public schools by a political correct government that is crawling through glass for the black civil rights groups instead of telling the truth.
During the early 60's when the civil rights activism started to become a serious movement, two personalities emerged and became famous.
While Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was moving towards acceptance, equal rights, and opportunities, with equal responsibilities, his pursuance of these goals were done in a peaceful way. He rejected radicalism and violence, and viewed it as counterproductive. However, another man emerged, A radical Muslim convert called MalcolmX. His teachings were far from peaceful he preached racism, black supremacy and anti-Semitism (Source – Wikipedia: http://is.gd/6STfy).
His teachings were essential for the Black Panthers. Founded in 1966, the idea of the Panther was to observe and protect the black Neighborhoods from Police Brutality. But this idea was only an alibi idea. The truth is that the panther's ideology was a mix of Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, Internationalism, and Black Nationalism.
So right down the Obama ideology.
The panthers were heavily armed, preferably with shotguns and handguns, wearing military style uniforms, parachute boots, and black barrettes.
And instead of protecting their neighborhoods (which would have meant cracking down on crime within their own) or working together with the police, Panthers used every opportunity to get into a gunfight with police. That resulted in several dead police officers. Some of the dead Cops were even black, but that did not bother the Panthers as long as the shoot outs served their radical agenda. Their performance was that of a paramilitary group practicing guerilla tactics.
Their actions were entirely counterproductive to the movement of MLK who tried to find a peaceful solution to the racism in society.
In 1977 the Black Panther organization was dissolved, but it had been considered to be one of the most dangerous organizations in the United States by the FBI. Several of the members had to flee the country in order to avoid criminal justice charges, including kidnapping.
In 1989, a group calling itself the "New Black-Panther Party" was formed in Dallas, Texas. Ten years later the NBPP became home to the former Nation of Islam members when the chairmanship was taken by Khalid Abdul Muhammad.
The United States Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center considers the NBPP a "Hate Group". Members of the original BP insist that this NBPP is illegitimate and strongly object to their existence.
Now with Obama in power and his publically shown admiration for those radicals, the NAACP, gaining more and more political power in the White House, the entire system reminds me of two major groupings in world's history.
And though the idea is not a new one it's pretty affective: the NAACP acts as the political representation and the civilian organization which provide the legal funds through black mail and extortion, and the Black Panthers act as the paramilitary group which spreads fear, frightens voters at the polls (see in PA), or act as hit men to shut down the opposition.
That sure reminds me of Ireland with the Sinn Fein as the political arm and the IRA Army as the paramilitary grouping.
Or worse yet, the NAZI's before they officially became the party of power in Germany.
While the NSDAP was the political arm officially elected, the SA operated as the paramilitary grouping to spread fear, frighten voters at the polls, and pay visits to persons of opposition. When Hitler had absolute power in Germany he no longer needed the SA anymore and that is when he gave all the agenda over the SS and the Gestapo.
Now, with the Marxist-Leninist and the Muslim militant Black Panthers, Obama finally has found his SA storm troopers; and supported by his racist supporters such as Reverend Wright, Al Sharpton, and all the others, and with his personal left wing Czars set in the right positions he can start doing what he does best: Acting as a dictator.
What will keep him from doing so? And what happens when he has absolute power? Who will take over the Agenda of the Black Panther/SA? Who will be Obama's official SS/Gestapo?
And who is going to stop him now?
Politicians of both sides are way too terrified to question any actions of the Panthers for fear of them playing the proverbial "race card," as usual. This may allow them to even get away with domestic Terrorism.
And the Democrats have the tenacity to accuse Scott Brown of having radical ties because he was supported by an unarmed and peaceful tea party movement (Source – Fox News: http://is.gd/6mHl2).
May God have mercy on our great America, the home of the free; Time to stop Obama now before it is too late.

So, it turns out that with growth comes growing pains. Who knew?
I can honestly say that over the past six or so months, I couldn't have grown more if I were tied to Procrustes' Bed of Horrors. While I foolishly went about resisting this growth most vehemently for quite some time, it dawned on me only a few short days ago that I am the author of my own misery if I maintain this unpleasant attitude.
And would you believe it? It was almost like a switch clicked or something (I know how clichéd that sounds, but I'm really not kidding!) and I feel more alive than I have done in years.
If I had to give an analogy (and I know I don't), I would have to say it was like scratching pieces of wood to ignite some dry husks à la Tom Hanks in Cast Away. Well, I finally created fire!
It feels so good to choose to be in control and to know that you have power over yourself. More importantly, it feels good to know that if you time-travelled to this day from your past, you'd be able to say to yourself, 'Hey, you know what? You did alright.'
And that's all I have to say about that…
For now.

Defend, Accept and Include was the theme for Hale Elementary School's recent Anti-Bullying Week, which was reinforced with various activities and projects, spirit days, displays throughout the building, an anti-bullying skit created and performed by the student ambassadors, and an assembly entitled Challenge U. This interactive experience challenged students to be the best person they could be, standing up to unkind behaviors and choosing to do what was right even if others were not.
Before school each morning, the students were greeted with music that focused on friendship and acceptance. Throughout the week classroom teachers engaged their students in various activities. They read and analyzed the poem "The Promise" and signed a poster-sized and individual version of it.
Students chose one of three sports shoes to decorate and complete with a positive message about how they would take a stand against bullying. In addition, each student wrote a message on a classroom paper chalkboard entitled I HOPE. The messages were about individual hopes for themselves, family, community and country in terms of being kind to and respectful of others.
Grade level teams planned a special art project based on a book or the theme about acceptance and standing up to bullying and honoring individuality. The poster size poem, art projects and sports shoes were all hung in the hallway outside classrooms. Art, music, physical education and library media teachers also planned age-appropriate activities for the students around the theme "Defend, Accept and Include."

Hello! Here's another bit of mail. I think I have fallen in love...and behind!
It's been a while and these are FAR OVERDUE! My dear pen twin...Shannah...please forgive me for my belated post.
So to start things off, check out that black and white post card! How neat is that! It comes from Rose Oziorny for a postcard swap from SwapBot. It is a vintage photograph of Althea Gibson. She was the first African American to win a major title. She won the French Championship in 1956 and then went on to win both the U.S. Open and Wimbledon titles in 1957 and 1958 respectively. Rose didn't know it...but I love tennis and played in high school and recreationally in college. Mr. MCD and I always watch the tournaments every year.
Shannah'a letter was beautifully decorated. She pasted that flower and added some paint splatters. I personally love the Ronald Reagan stamp.
The inside was just as sweet as the outside. I looked at the card she wrote on over and over again. The illustration is beautiful and the overalls on the little girl are just darling. I love that old fashioned look on babies...look at that bonnet! Her stationary was so pretty. I'm a sucker for flowers.
I love reading Shannah's letters. Hop on over to her blog, Write Before Your Eyes...great name right! She's always posting about her latest mail goodies and some of her recent stationary finds. She is even considering creating her own stationary...and it is really good.
Here is a sample of my outgoing mail goodness. I sent out handmade stationary and envelopes to my neice, Jazz. You can see the stationary HERE. She's definitely excited to have her own paper to write on!
I sent out a thank you note to Rose for the post card and modge podged tissue paper to the envelope...I really like doing that. It's an interesting look, almost like confetti.
Hand made envelope for Chrissy, another SwapBot project. It's kind of funny. It was supposed to be and International letter swap. I got Tasha, in Spain...you can see her mail art HERE. However, poor Chrissy got me...and she lives in Virginia. Such a nice woman! I'll post her letter soon...and wow! The stationary!
You can also see my letter to Shannah at Write Before Your Eyes. She really loved how I drew her name.
Also, a very cool looking envelope to Debbie Harmon. I sent her the Valentine's Day ATC's. She is a veteran in the ATC department so I wrote her a quick note telling her I was a newbie to the game and that I would love to see some of her work.
She apparently LOVED my ATC's and I'm so happy that she did. I also loved this envelope. It was just so simple, but very graphic with the bold red stripes and plain black lettering. Seems strange but this is one of my favorite envelopes that I have created.
Until next time...and hopefully it won't be long!


text: Here's a really well put together short made by ZCDC in association with K-Swiss as part of the 'California is a Place' project. The film surrounds Brandon Correia of Godspeed Couriers, talking though some of his experiences being a bicycle messenger for the last 13 years, his personal relationship with cycling and danger on the roads and much more. Some of the filming is really excellent, I liked the cockpit angles from about 1:10 onwards the best, probably the closest video representation I've seen to how it really feels to ride in traffic. This video is short, focused and enlightening – one to watch for sure!

"You cannot have obstruction of justice when the President exercises his Constitutional authority to pardon, his constitutional authority to fire the director of the FBI or his constitutional authority to tell the director of the FBI who to prosecute, who not to prosecute...
What I'm telling you is that even if he did want to impede it and even if he did impede it that is his constitutional power. He has the right to say 'you will not investigate Flynn'. The best proof of that is he could have simply said to Comey 'stop the investigation I just pardoned Flynn, it's over'..."
Harvard Law Professor, democrat and Hillary Clinton voter Alan Dershowitz appeared on AC360 to deliver some bad news to democrats following the release of James Comey's prepared testimony for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. They all seem to think Comey's remarks hold the smoking gun to destroy Pres Trump. That won't happen as Dershowitz explains how facts and the law works vs how the left feels things should go.
Obstruction of justice requires bribery, threats or the destruction of evidence, etc, none of that is present here. Pres Trump saying he "hopes" Comey would consider backing off going after Flynn doesn't meet the legal test. The Pres also asking to "lift the cloud" over his head, with regards to dems claims of Russian collusion, doesn't work either.
Today was probably the one of the worst days for democrats, all their dreams have been destroyed, and they still have to live through Comey's testimony June 8th! The President if anything has practically been vindicated and Comey better be careful because he is borderline of committing 2 felonies for not reporting obstruction, if it in fact happened, as explained during this Hannity panel.
So the questions folks should be asking is how bad will the left react? How much further will they become unhinged when they don't get the answers and results they want?

read an ad from an entertainment venue today saying "...these are some of the more musical musicians you'll find around town".
hmm... i guess that makes my circle of friends "artistic artists".
oh, and i know a few "poetic poets" too.
and when i'm sick i take some "medical medicines".
and not forgetting, i'm also a "maternal mother".
it's late. i'm going to sleep. 'tis a "nocturnal night".

so, the other musicians who are a bit less musical, who are they? actors?

actually, in retrospect, there are some unmusical musicians posing as musical musicians hoping to eventually be crowned artistic artistes in this idolatrous pigeonhole of a music industry.

Video Vixen: Love Triangle or Haters? You Decide!
Now for real for real I really don't even know where to begin so if I pick up mid way through and lose a few of you slower sassy muffins- trust and know I apologize ahead of time. Just try to stay with me.
Okay see what had happened was Karrine Steffans has been accused of being a publicity whore and many will say she sent in a bogus email to a few bloggers wherein she was describing and elaborating on a fabulous LOVE TRIANGLE. The infamous triangle involves Lil Wayne, Bow Wow, Angela Simmons, and Chris Foxx. Now me personally as educated as I be can't begin to sort this out so in great hood fashion I'll let you figure it out while I relax and do something a little more productive like take a hot shower and nurse my cold so I can go to work in the morning. Blogging for me is simply pre-writing exercises so haters don't ever get it twisted. Double kisses sassy muffins! I'm out.
"First and foremost I do not know Karrine personally but we have met on a handful of occasions. Who I do know though are these three men playing roles in her life at the moment. Of course with Karrine it's pretty much all about whats hot "at the moment". I'm not sure if it's for the rush or the attention but like we've seen in the past she has the tendency to wiggle her way in close to whoever is hot at the moment (ex. Ja Rule) and in this case that would be "the best rapper alive" Lil Wayne.
Wayne and Karrine's relationship dates all the way back to Spring 2007 but other than a few rolls in the bed things didn't heat up for them until early this year after Lauren London broke off her engagement to Wayne. Karrine came running to Miami, Atlanta and all points between to be with him whether it was off days shooting videos are spending days at a time on his tour bus or studio sessions. Of course has a life back in Los Angeles which of course includes raising a son on her own so their time together either consisted of her trips across the country or when Wayne would be in LA on business. Of course this kind of relationship can be a strain on any relationship and when you're dealing with someone like Wayne you know to keep up that relationship is impossible. But while the public thought he and Karrine split due to the reemergence of Nivea it actually had a lot to do with Karrine's new bed buddy Bow Wow who spent the spring and summer out in LA filming episodes of 'Entourage' and going where pretty much all of hip hop has gone before.
Bow Wow and Karrine's relationship went undetected by most people for almost three months until the TK and Angela Simmons break up occurred. Angela immediately ran to cry on the shoulder of her 'first love' Bow Wow and of course this didn't sit well with Karrine who cut out. Supposedly Angela and Bow Wow both are crazy in love with each other but Angela's been hurt by Bow before and Bow also is torn between the person he should be with which is Angela and the person his penis and ego and reputation want which is Karrine. So after Angela ran crying to Bow after TK betrayed her; Bow invited her to meet him in Florida for the T-Pain party at which they were photographed at. After learning of this Karrine sunk into Bow Wow and really let him have it. Bow and Karrine were pretty much off and Bow and Angela tried to make another play at it. About that time your post went up and blew the lid off the entire thing.
Ironically right after your blog post a new song featuring Lil Wayne popped up on the internet containing somewhat of a diss to Karrine on the song. (You can hear the track on her site http://www.Karrine.com) That following week Bow Wow shows up to New York fashion week damn near attached to the hip of Angela Simmons and within a weeks time both of Karrine's young boys turned the tables on her. So what does she do? She enlist another young one who's ironically associated with both Bow Wow and Lil Wayne.
So after she hears Wayne putting her names in songs and Bow throwing Angela in her face, she pops up on her new young boy CHris Foxx's page and claims to be "filling in" while he attends fashion week. Despite that little subtle "i'm moving on" kind of move; Media Takeout runs the rumor that she and Bow Wow are engaged. So to combat the rumors and piss her other men off. Karrine goes 'missing' for a few days and has her new young one Chris Foxx "guest host" her website while she's away and has him drop hits about marriages, engagement rings and Vegas. What i think he thought was a joke i believe she was using him to bait the other two who obviously are quite familiar with this guy. I also think she left him out to dry by saying on that first video that Chris Foxx sent the song by Wayne to her.
I read in the XXL that she told Wayne she loved him but she's going to wind up hurt and alone playing this new little love triangle she tangled in."
Now this email was sent by someone to another blogger. My question is who and why. WTF?
Keep in mind muffins I don't edit quotes so don't get at me by phone, email, Myspace, and etc. telling me to proofread ish. I proofreads errything but I don't and will not alter and clean up quotes.

Baller Alert:D. Wade Speaks?!
Well hell and hell! Dwayne Wade the NBA baller and shot caller has finally spoken about his personal life. Now Dewayne and I attended the same university at the same time and a few of the same classes ummm yeah. So this brings big crocodile tears to my china like eyes that he and his lovely wife is splitting. Now before I drop the quote on you let me preach to the choir. Just because they are divorcing don't think you'll be the next Mrs. Wade. Don't even do it to yourself or stress yourself out like that with goals that are too unreachable. Dewayne and his wife ,Siohvaughn, were high school sweethearts. She will always have his heart and his mind no matter who he is creeping with. Trust and believe! Wade offered the media very little concerning his martial affairs.
"I keep my personal life my personal life. You try to keep it as private as you can. When things leak out, it's not always the truth. Some is. All you can do is continue being who you are. A lot of things have come out about me, and people are going to think what they want to think. But at the end of the day, no one knows what's happened in my life to get to the point where me and my wife, our family, not being together.
When the time comes, I will make one statement and that's it. Like anyone else, I want my privacy respected. Let people say what they want to say about me. I hear it. I get mad about it. But it doesn't get me down. It adds fuel to the fire."

Also, referred to as laser thermometers, an industrial IR (infrared) thermometer is a tool that helps make accurate infrared measurements inside a manufacturing plant, laboratory, office, etc. without coming in physical contact with the target object. A sub-type of thermal radiation thermometer, an IR thermometer can measure a range of surface types.
Design and Benefits
Generally, the IR thermometer (since it's a non-contact device) would be equipped with a circle laser that lets you focus more accurately on the target area. Most importantly, there's a lens that focuses or transports the IR radiation to a detector. The detector converts the radiant energy into an electrical signal, which could be displayed in temperature units after having made compensations for ambient temperature. This is what makes temperature measurement from a distance or sans contact possible. There is also a non-contact thermometer that helps measure temperature in scenarios where probe-type sensors such as thermocouples are not usable or can't produce accurate information for various reasons.
An IR thermometer is ideal for spot measurements. It comes in different configurations, which makes it relevant in a range of industries. For instance, there are IR thermometers specially designed for small, cramped spaces and high surrounding temperatures. The thermometer also has a backlit display that could be toggled off or on to read surface temperatures in badly-lit areas. Some thermometers' emissivity setting could be adjusted. This means it could be custom-set to measure temperatures of non-reflective and reflective surfaces.
Usage Scenarios
An IR thermometer helps measure a moving object's temperature; if electromagnetic field is surrounding the object; the object is in a controlled atmosphere such as a vacuum; in scenarios where a quick response is needed; or physical contact would mar the object or thermometer sensor.
An infrared thermometer can be used for serving a range of temperature supervision functions. Examples include cloud detection for distant telescope operation, testing electrical or mechanical equipment for hot spots and temperature, measuring a patient's body temperature without touching the individual, checking oven or heater temperature, testing for fire-fighting hotspots, monitoring components or constituents in processes that involve cooling or heating, and measuring volcano temperature. During an epidemic (such as ebola or SARS) breakout, IR thermometers also help examine landing travellers for fever.
The IR thermometer can only measure exposed surfaces' temperature; it cannot penetrate glass or other similar transparent barriers. Some IR thermometers come with a prearranged emissivity value, which cannot be changed. Most IR thermometers, however, let the user select emissivity value based on the material being measured: paper, metallic or wood surfaces. In case a user measures glossy metallic surfaces – for instance, cylinders – the non-contact tools could only be used for ascertaining temperature tendencies as it won't be possible to compute absolute temperature with an IR thermometer on shiny or polished surfaces. If the thermometer available is non-adjustable in nature, then a non-reflective tape or paint would have to be applied to the surface (if it's reflective) for measuring temperature. This hack, however, would most likely cause some accuracy loss.
When measuring surface temperature, there should be some space between the thermometer and target object. At times, inaccurate readings are likely when a hotter body in the vicinity reflects the radiation. For instance, the body temperature of the individual holding the device could come into play.
Making Adjustments
A sensor that has an alterable emissivity setting could also be incorporated to calibrate a given surface's sensor, or for measuring a surface's emissivity. When a surface's temperature is accurately known (with the help of a contact thermometer), the emissivity setting of the sensor could be altered until the IR technique temperature measurement matches the temperature arrived at via the contact method. The emissivity setting would denote the surface's emissivity, which could be considered for future measurements.

we don't live in what most people consider quintessential san francisco. when i pause to consider this distinction, it occurs to me that "quintessential" = money. the colorful antique buildings kept bright and shiny, the sweeping views of the bay, the sidewalks swept clean and garbage-free--those sorts of costly accoutrements are not part of our reality. as sidewalks are the only piece of urbanscape to which we have access, we set our focus on beautifying the concrete path in front of our home.
being that our neighborhood is also bereft of greenery, we combined the sidewalk need and the greenery need and called it an experiment.
phase one: the sad planter
a cracked, free-standing planter that leaned against our apartment was a good gathering spot for garbage: cigarette butts, cans, wadded-up mcdonalds sacks, you name it. since no one was claiming this wooden vessel, one day we dragged it to rest in front of our apartment door.
david cleaned it out, added fresh soil and some plants, and voila: we had greenery! the addition of the planter marked the first step in a long-term experiment: how to claim a space typically taken over by garbage in order to show that someone lives here, someone cares, and someone wants to share the beauty of things that grow.
phase two: adding plants
i picked up some small-ish planter baskets at a garage sale, and david went to work planting plants. we set them on the sidewalk, next to the planter.
phase three: adding color
i wanted to make a statement, so david bought the color of my choosing--the blue of provence--and i found myself painting away on a bright sunny day.
----the thing about experiments----
we went into this knowing that things wouldn't go as planned, that people may alter our work, or simply not like it. we are claiming and re-imagining public space in a spot where homeless people drop off their extra things, neighbors hang out near their cars drinking beers, and people park their mini-vans to unload used furniture and housewares ("this is my first time leaving something here. i heard this is where you leave stuff, because it's always gone." david told this particular person that it's gone because WE throw it away.)
the results
plants were stolen. at first, it was the smallest planter, which didn't surprise us, and frankly, i was happy the perp didn't smash it on the sidewalk. i relished the thought that someone was enjoying the beauty of the flowers in their own home, and i was okay with that scene.
the plants were moved. in an odd turn of events, someone moved the remaining two planters to each end of the planter. rather than move them back, we left them in their new spots, figuring that this is a public display, and we were okay with public action.
today, about a week and a half after the tagging, i painted over the offending marks. we'll see what happens next.

Discussion of a proposal for a psychiatric hospital in Vernon Hills has been removed from the village board's Tuesday, July 18, committee of the whole meeting agenda. US Healthvest is proposing a $20 million makeover of CDW's former administration building at 300 N. Milwaukee Ave., in the Continental Executive Parke for a 100-bed hospital providing specialized care to children, adolescents, adults and seniors. The company, which is seeking a change in zoning rules to allow hospitals to be permitted in a business district, asked the item be removed from the agenda. It has not been rescheduled.

When it comes to selling a home, almost everyone understands the value of working with a knowledgeable real estate agent.
But buyers can often benefit even more than they might expect.
Find out the top reasons more buyers than ever choose to work with an agent when searching for their next home or investment property.
Saves Time
Undoubtedly one of the most commonly cited benefits of working with an agent when buying a property is the ability to save time. Real estate agents do the hard work for you by obtaining all the details and then showing you only those properties that meet your preestablished criteria.
Saves Money
Not only does working with an agent allow you to focus efforts on properties that meet your needs, but research also shows that it actually saves money in the long run. Sellers view agents as more objective during the negotiation process, and buyers that work with agents have access to the best deals. Remember, even in a buyer's market, the best deals go fast. Many properties are already under contract by the time they make it into the magazines or online MLS listings, whereas many agents send out weekly or even daily updates of newly listed properties.
Reduces Stress
Real estate agents are able to work with lending officers, appraisers and others to streamline the entire transaction and keep things moving along by providing a single, reliable point of contact. Should anything go wrong, agents are able to access their network of contacts and expertise to assist every step of the way.
Some of the best buying opportunities never even make it to the MLS listings; instead, foreclosures, bank-owned properties and even government repossessions are often handled by specific agents. Likewise, agents are often aware of creative finance options or specialized programs that may benefit veterans, first-time buyers, investors or even small-business owners.
Negotiating Skills
It's a proven fact that by working with a realtor when buying a home can save a buyer money in the long run. From negotiating the best price and terms for the buyer to expert advice on getting the best mortgage loan for the buyer makes working with a realtor a no-brainer, rather you're a buyer or seller.

Protestant Humanitarian
Katharina Zell was a German Protestant activist and reformer in the city of Strasbourg. She came from the respected and politically influential Schutz family of Strasbourg. Her marriage to the clergyman Matthew Zell in 1523 marked the beginning of a life of public activity on behalf of Protestantism.
After a brief tenure as rector at the University of Freiburg ( 1517- 1518), Matthew Zell ( 1477-1548) had arrived in the city of Strasbourg in order to serve as Roman Catholic priest of the cathedral parish. He also held the office of poenitentarius (penitentiary), charged with carrying the bishop's right to absolve grave sins. Zell soon found himself attracted to the views of reformer Martin Luther, and as early as 1521, he began preaching sermons with a Lutheran emphasis. He insisted that he was preaching the "pure Gospel," but the authorities took notice. The Bishop of Strasbourg attempted to have the cathedral chapter oust Zell, but the effort failed in the face of the popularity of the sermons. So great was his reputation that the city council decided to extend their protection to the preacher. Clearly the majority in this sovereign city wanted a reform of the church.
Zell led the movement for reform in Strasbourg from 1521 until 1523, when he was joined by Wolfgang Capito and by the former Dominican Martin Bucer. In 1523 Zell published a defense of the Reformation entitled Christliche verantwortung (Christian Answer). He followed this in 1525 with the publication of the city of Strasbourg's first evangelical catechism, and he took a principled stand against the use of force in religious matters. Throughout his professional life, Zell focused on preaching and pastoral work. But it was his renunciation of the celibate life that had the greatest impact on the religious life of Strasbourg. Following Bucer's example, Zell broke his vow of celibacy and married Katharina Schutz on 3 Decem

Director: Kim Manners
Melissa Turner and her young daughter Polly visit their local grocery market in Amma Beach, Maine. Melissa has a vision of the one of the employee, Dave with a knife protruding from one eye. Shortly after other customers begin clawing at their eyes and Dave grabs a knife and turns it on himself. Agent Scully vacationing in the area returns to her rented car in the grocery market's parking lot as a old man exits the market, blood trickling down his face and requests the assistance of a doctor. Scully enters the market and provides help to the injured customers.
And that her daughter Polly was involved in a incident with the local day-care centre worker Jane Froelich, who believes that Melissa and her daughter Polly are descendants of witches. Jane claims she slapped Polly when she became uncontrollable and was thrown to the floor. When Jane is later found dead of self inflicted wounds, it is up to Scully to uncover the truth before more people die.
'Chinga' is the name of Polly's evil doll, as well as the title. Unknown to writer Stephen King at the time, Chinga is also an offensive Spanish slang term (apparently the equivalent of the F-word). When Chris Carter realized this, the episode name was changed to "Bunghoney" when it aired outside of the US.
Stephen King churned out several drafts of this episode, but due to Mulder and Scully being slightly out of character, Chris Carter delivered the final draft. They never met during the writing of this episode.
The classical music selection playing as Scully drives into town and when she is taking a bath is Hummel's Piano Concerto No.3, Opus 89.
The book on Scully's night-stand in her motel room is titled, "Affirmation, For Women Who Do Too Much" by Adrianna Carrillo. There appears to be no such book or author and presumably the book is an in-joke meant to poke fun at Scully's work ethic and her inability to simply enjoy her vacation. Also, it is noteworthy that the cover of this book appears to depict a witch in a forest beneath a full moon, a sly reference to the storyline.
Mulder: (In the office, swinging on the back of a chair) Hey Scully, it's me!
Scully: Mulder, I thought we had an agreement. We were both going to take the weekend off.
Mulder: Right, right, right. I know. But-but I, uh I just received some information about a case. A classic X-File. Classic. Wanted to share it with you.
Scully: Mulder, I'm on vacation. The weather is clear, I'm looking forward to hitting the road and breathing in some of this fine New England air.
Mulder: You didn't rent a convertible, did you?
Scully: Why?
Mulder: Are you aware of the statistics of decapitation?
Scully: Mulder, I'm hanging up. I'm turning off my cellphone, I'm back in the office on Monday. Mulder: You shouldn't uh... talk and drive at the same time either. Are you aware of the statistics.... Hello?
Mulder: It sounds to me like that's witchcraft or maybe sorcery that you're looking for there.
Scully: No, I don't think it's witchcraft, Mulder, or sorcery. I've had a look around and I don't see any evidence of anything that warrants that kind of suspicion.
Mulder: Maybe you don't know what you're looking for.
Scully: Like evidence of conjury or the black arts, or shamanism, divination, wicca or any kind of pagan or neo-pagan practices. Charms, cards, familiars, bloodstones, or hex signs or any kind of ritual tableaux associated with the occult, santeria, voudoun, macumba, or any high or low magic.
Mulder: Scully?
Scully: Yes?
Mulder: Marry me.
Scully: Mulder, are there any references in occult literature to... objects that have the power to... direct human behavior?
Mulder: What . . . types of objects?
Scully: Uhm, like a doll for instance?
Mulder: You mean like Chucky?
Scully: (embarrassed) Yeah, kinda like that.
Mulder: You didn't find a talking doll, did you Scully?
Scully: No, no... course not, uh...
Mulder: I would suggest that you should check the back of the doll for a... a plastic ring with a string on it. That would be my first.... Hello?

I haven't abandoned this blog- I promise!
I have an exam at 2pm today, that's 3 1/2 hours, then I'm free and will be posting lots of lovely recipes and rants!
Just thought I'd let the world know that I'm absolutely terrified for this exam, and that I'm still here, just tucked away in my room in the dark, wishing this exam could be over with already!
After learning about the inhibitory kinase 'Wee1' and the activating kinase 'Cak', I'm starting to think this exam could be an episode of Punk'd, with some crazy scientist somewhere making up a load of words just to make me look stupid! ahhhhhh…
See you on the other side

4 cups chicken broth
1 cup whey (optional)
1 large onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
A few fresh sage leaves (or dried)
1 can evaporated milk
2 cups frozen, fresh or canned corn
3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil or grape seed oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat a Dutch oven, add the oil, garlic and onions, fry a few minutes until garlic is brown. Add the other ingredients except for the milk. Bring to a boil, lower and simmer for approximately 45 minutes or until the potatoes fall apart. Add the milk. Turn off heat and cool. Use the hand blender to process and make the soup creamy. Adjust for seasonings.
I served this soup with homemade biscuits (made with yogurt and grape seed oil instead of sour cream and butter). I also served roasted baby beets (from my garden) and Maui onion that another gardener had grown.

[I've pecked this out on my mobile device, so ur about to read my "text lingo." I promise to write entire words w/appropriate punctuation & grammar if I ever go to print. Lol]
Sittin here watching my candles flicker... Had this realization along the lines of "opposites attract:"
A Flame can't dance wo a Wick... A Wick can't illuminate wo stillness or depth. God has always put deep, still "Wicks" in my life so I can dance. :-)
To my fellow Flames; Don't get ticked if ur Wick doesn't dance! If ur Wick started dancing ud lose ur light. Let em b still. They're not as flashy, not as sparkly, not as enticing... But if it wasn't for the solidity of ur Wick, u cldnt dance.
And, Wick! Lemme address u for a moment, ur Flame CAN'T b still. There's a word for making a flame b still; "smothering."
The ONLY other thing, besides dance, a Flame can do is die. The result of a Flame's death is suffocating smoke. Surrounding people die more from smoke inhalation than fire burns. Ur Flame MUST dance! For the sake of anyone within oxygen range, ur Flame MUST dance. Realize the importance of that. (Also, that death-smoke comes from the Wick, not the Flame.)
Together, Wick & Flame, u provide light for others to live. U provide a warm, rich ambiance for others to refresh thereby. Together, the two opposites r absolutely one in purpose & understanding, & that unity makes living beautiful, not only for themselves, but also for those around.
Wick, stay still, & deep, & enjoy (& yes, smtimes endure) the dance of ur Flame. Bask in ur Flame's warmth & illumination.
Flame, cast ur light in all directions! The more u enjoy ur dance, the more light u spread. But do dance in the knowledge that ur rhythm is literally at the expense of ur Wick. Respect & honor ur Wick's stillness.
Wick & Flame, Accept & respect ur 2 roles. Appreciate each other's contribution. Understand that ur combination not only brings the two of u to completeness, but the two of u working properly in ur roles brings peace to those around u.
(Now imma have a hard time bringing myself to blow out my candles tonight!) lol

Oops, I missed yesterday! But I will go ahead and post today the next installment of Family Sayings Sunday.
This week's saying is:
"Don't let me turn you over my checkity apron!"
I know, I know "checkity" is not a word. My daughter pointed this out to me but again I didn't make up the news I just report it.
Anyway, my paternal grandmother would say this phrase to me when she felt as though I was getting a little too big for my britches or if I was back talking her. Something that I don't think happened all that often, but then I may be looking back through rose-colored glasses.
Hope you enjoyed, glad you stopped by and please come back again 😉

Common Reporting Standards Come into Force in BVI
The so called Common Reporting Standards, developed by the OECD, came into effect from January 1, 2016 in many jurisdictions, including the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Guernsey, and Jersey, providing for the exchange information between tax authorities. According to the publication by Ropes & Gray, in the countries which accepted this standard from the beginning of the year and are part of the "Early Adopters Group", all persons opening new accounts are required to provide "self-certifications" allowing financial institutions to perform due diligence and define their tax residency. The first exchange of information as regards certain account holders is expected to take place in 2017.
All investment funds in the BVI and other Early Adopter jurisdictions should have updated subscription procedures for new investors admitted on or after January 1, 2016, and should be ready to gather additional information from all existing investors.

Its no secret that Im an avid bourbon drinker, a testament to my southern roots and impeccable taste, I'm sure. I recently came across the Buffalo Trace Oral History project and love that this historic distillery is documenting some of the lore and stories from their former employees. I wasnt sure that it was possible, but after watching some of these clips, I actually savor each sip of bourbon more. The image above is actually of Colonel Blanton at the distillery.
Buffalo Trace is the oldest distillery in the US. Based in Frankfurt, Kentucky, they release their namesake bourbon as well as a variety of small batch, single barrel bourbons including George T Stagg, one of the most highly coveted bourbons. George T Stagg is a 15-year aged bourbon that is uncut and unfiltered. It used to be released only once a year and is known for its high alcohol volume. Super hard to find, I sampled it last year when i was in Lexington. Besides Buffalo Trace and George T Stagg, the distillery also produces favorites like Blanton's, Eagle Rare, Pappy Van Winkle, and Elmer T Lee.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS: St. Luke's and St. Alphonsus
Dr. Pamela Strohfus
"A DNP education builds upon nurses' knowledge and experiences while providing the tools to craft processes that improve the health and care of patients."
– Pamela Strohfus
The online Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) provides today's nurse leaders with the academic credentials and expertise needed to improve both patient care and health care systems.
The first cohort of DNP students graduated in May. As part of the program, each student created a scholarly project designed to enhance the level of care for a particular subset of patients or identify and address issues within a healthcare system.
Dr. Cherno Bah, a recent DNP graduate, investigated how staff diabetes education could enhance health outcomes for pa- tients in a large mental health hospital. Bah, who was born and raised in Gambia, has the distinction of earning his undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees all from Boise State.
"During my master's, I fell in love with behavioral health and mental health, and the idea of practicing that in rural communities," Bah said. "Boise State was just starting the DNP program and because I appreciated the learning environment here so much, I thought, 'I should do this so I can work with people with mental illness.'"
Bah hopes to someday return to West Africa and work with rural, underserved populations.
Other inaugural graduates of the program included Dr. Pamela Fields, Dr. Andrea Lambe, Dr. Claudia Miewald and Dr. Jennifer Palagi. Their education is helping them revolutionize nursing practices in the Treasure Valley, throughout Idaho and beyond.
For instance, Fields, a board certified family nurse practitioner with Saint Alphonsus Health System, studied how rehabilita- tion exercises conducted prior to orthopedic surgeries could lead to more successful post-surgery patient outcomes, while Lambe, a registered nurse who works for Saint Alphonsus Medical Group, examined the importance that rehabilitation services play in developing healthy behaviors for patients following a heart attack or other cardiac incident.
"At Boise State, we recognize the close trust shared between nurses and the populations they serve," said Dr. Pamela Strohfus, faculty lead for the DNP, adding that the new program also opens doors for ambitious undergraduate nursing students to take their education to new heights.

Nancy Kress is a science fiction author from Rochester. She has written thirteen books, so her Web site says. I've encountered some of her short stories through the podcast Escape Pod.
The first was "Nano Comes to Clifford Falls" and it caught my attention the way a neighbor does, friendly, gesturing you over: take a look at this. But the story worms its way in while you feel as if this is all familiar territory. High-high tech meets midwestern farm town. Ms. Kress is working a different angle than you might expect from modern genre fiction, not going for a snigger-at-the-hicks or supergizmo titilation. She's writing about what it's like when the telephone showed up or the printing press and what those things do to one's life and those one lives near. Maybe she's even writing about what it's like to become an adult. You wake up one morning and you're different. You wake up and now you have access to the world in a completely new way, unpredictable yesterday.
You can read "Nano Comes to Clifford Falls" and hear it read at http://escapepod.org/2006/10/12/ep075-nano-comes-to-clifford-falls/.
Escape Pod also has a few other stories by her:
Update: Nancy Kress has won the Nebula Award for her novella "Fountain of Age." Excellent news.


text: Wednesday 22 July 2015 by William Arnold Company updates Dicker Data 1H15: Integration on track, full year forecast confirmed The company is progressing in-line with forecasts given at the time of the FIIG-led origination, and is ahead of its own forecasts Dicker Data (DDR) has released a presentation summarising its performance during 1H15 to 30 June. Source: Dicker Data Revenues have grown 6.2% over the previous half and underlying EBITDA was $22.1m. Given DDR is a high volume low margin business efficiency is very important. DDR historically has targeted a 2.5% profit before tax margin and an 8.0-8.5% gross margin. Recently acquired Express Data's gross margins have varied between 8-9% over the last four years however its profitability is lower. Since the acquisition of Express, the company has been able to recognise synergies and benefit from increased scale to improve efficiency. Gross margin has increased from 8.4% to 9.7% over the full year and the profit before tax margin improved from 2.1% to 3.1%. DDR's efficiency continues to be stronger than key competitors in the region and is a strength of the business. FY15 Forecast DDR has previously provided NPBT guidance for FY15 of $30.9m which was confirmed in the release. The following figure provides an illustration of the bridge to the full year forecast. Source: Dicker Data The target is expected to be reached through a combination of cost synergies, incremental contributions from acquisition, further costs savings and general growth. The company's increased scale has led to growth in business from existing vendors and well as new distributer agreements. The newly acquired New Zealand business continues to grow organically and will benefit from DDR's first volume vendors agreements executed from April 15, starting with Toshiba, Kingston and subsequently Motion.

Akaka Falls State Park, Hawaii
If you're traveling on Highway 19 north of Hilo, Hawaii and want to see a Hawaiian waterfall close up then turn off 19 and travel the couple of miles up Akaka Falls Road and take walk to both Akaka and Kahuna Falls. The walk is easy, but the views and the experience are tremendous.

I was doing the whole book but because of another project I just took on I'm only taking 5 or 6 pages and re-doing panels or creating new versions. The demon getting punched isn't actually from the book but rather a different take on one of the panels. I'll have some more up next week.

Beautiful work. Love the heavy blacks, mixed with the finer detailing (the hands, the demon's back). You can really feel the 'fleshiness' of your characters. Very inspirational stuff. To bad you don't have time to do the whole book, but also extremely understandable.

Wow... Little bit daunting trying to come up with content for a first post. I thought a blog might be an interesting way of talking about everyday life and my crafting, rather than me talking about it face-to-face with people and boring them to death. Even if no one reads this, it's nice to be able to come here and ramble on!
So, a little about me... I learnt to knit when I was young (my Gran taught me) and I also used to cross stitch. It had been a few years since doing anything crafty (doing an engineering degree greatly reduces the amount of free time anyone has, especially if you're working at the same time!) and I decided to start cross stitching again. I made a sampler for my best friend's wedding, and a generic landscape design. Not content with cross stitch, I also decided I'd give knitting another go. After an itchy scarf made for the boyfriend, I made a few other scarfs using "fancy" yarn. My younger brother became a father, and my little niece is now the proud owner of several pairs of shoes, a cardigan and a hat, all knit by her Aunt. A freind of mine managed to get me interested in crochet, and I began doing some amigurumi. So far I've done an oddish for the boyfriend (he stuck the eyes and mouth on) and a chain chomp. Next challenge is to create an AudreyII from the Little Shop of Horrors for a friend.
When I'm not crafting, I can be found working, helping to organise an annual beer festival, in the gym, chilling out at home with a film/tv series/football/gaming or in the pub. There's a local craft group that actually meets in the pub twice a month, and I've started going to that. Everyone's friendly, asking about your latest projects and offering advice.
On the go at the moment, I have a basic scarf (something simple to pick up and do a little bit on when I have a few spare minutes) AudreyII (which require a litle more concentration, and number counting) and an Epic generation1 Pokemon Cross stitch. I also have a scarf that I need to finish off with a couple of beads, and a baby onesy that needs sewing together (attempted to sew it together once and got annoyed with it).
I've also signed up to NaNoWriMo, and have an idea that hasn't made it to paper yet... Hopefully I'll get some done on it this weekend.
I'll post a couple of pics of things completed/in progress, along with some more info on them.

February 26, 1954
The opinion of the court was delivered by: DIMOCK
This is a motion pursuant to Rule 41(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, 18 U.S.C. for the return of certain papers and their suppression as evidence on the ground that the property was illegally seized without warrant.
Defendant is under indictment for wilfully attempting to evade payment of income taxes for the calendar year 1945 in violation of section 145(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. § 145(b).
Defendant contends that the examination of his books by internal revenue agents was an unlawful search and that the notations and extracts which were taken from the examination were illegally seized. The Government contends that by his consent to the examinations complained of defendant waived his right not to have his private books searched and seized. Defendant seems to concede that he consented to the examination but argues that his consent was induced by misrepresentation and that the alleged fraud vitiated his consent.
The following is defendant's version of the facts. In July, 1947, Walter H. McGinn introduced himself as an Internal Revenue Agent to defendant's accountant and said that he wished to make the 'usual routine audit' of defendant's income tax return for the calendar year of 1945. Defendant's accountant arranged to meet Agent McGinn at defendant's place of business where he made defendant's books, records and papers available for Agent McGinn's examination. Agent McGinn spent several days examining these records and making notations on his examination. The examination was suspended for several months and, in the middle of November, Agent McGinn returned to defendant's office where defendant's accountant again made defendant's records available for his inspection. The following week, Agent McGinn informed defendant's accountant that he had completed his examination. They then discussed 'the propriety of certain items, discussed proposed adjustments thereof and came to an agreement as to these adjustments which said Internal Revenue Agent McGinn stated he would embody in his final report to be sent to the defendant taxpayer together with the usual form agreement thereon.' The next day, Agent McGinn telephoned defendant's accountant and said that he had overlooked one transaction which he wanted to check. He said that he had to verify this item in order to complete his report. On this visit to defendant's office, Agent McGinn was accompanied by another man whom he introduced to defendant's accountant as a 'fellow Revenue Agent'. The two agents examined defendant's records and made extracts and notations. The 'fellow Agent' was a Special Agent of the Intelligence Unit of the Treasury Department.
Defendant alleges that he authorized his accountant to make his books available on the express understanding that a routine audit was involved, that civil liability alone was the subject of inquiry. He alleges that in fact a criminal investigation was being conducted and argues that the consent thus given was induced by fraud and coercion and therefore was not voluntary consent which amounted to a waiver of his right not to have his private papers searched and seized.
First, defendant contends that the agent's representation that the examination was a 'routine audit' when in fact there was a possibility of criminal liability was fraud which vitiated his consent. Secondly, defendant argues that his fear of the statutory penalty for failure to disclose the information sought for the determination of his civil liability compelled him to make his books available.
On defendant's own version of the facts, I find that defendant voluntarily consented to the examination of his books and thus waived his right to complain of its illegality.
On the issue of fraud, defendant relies heavily on cases in which law enforcement officials gained entry by masquerading as private citizens. See Gouled v. United States, 255 U.S. 298, 41 S. Ct. 261, 65 L. Ed. 647; Fraternal Order of Eagles v. United States, 3 Cir., 57 F.2d 93; United States v. Mitchneck, D.C.M.D.Pa., 2 F.Supp. 225. Here, the revenue agent made no attempt to hide his official identity or the official purpose of his business. Surely defendant was aware that, if a 'routine audit' revealed evidence of criminal liability, the agent would not ignore it merely because he was primarily concerned with civil liability. Defendant was apprised of the fact that his books were sought for investigation by an official of the Internal Revenue Bureau. On that understanding, he authorized his accountant to make his books available. I cannot accept defendant's reasoning or that of the court in United States v. Guerrina, D.C.E.D.Pa., 112 F.Supp. 126. A statement that the purpose of an investigation is a 'routine audit' is not the equivalent of a promise that only civil liability will be considered regardless of what the examination reveals. Nor would any accountant or businessman so understand it.
Defendant's argument with respect to coercion seems to proceed as follows. The 'routine audit' statement led defendant to believe that no criminal charges would be made against him. If no criminal charges could be made against him he was subject to the penalties prescribed in sections 145 and 3614 of the Internal Revenue Code, if he failed to permit examination of his papers. If criminal charges could be made against him he could, under United States v. Murdock, 284 U.S. 141, 52 S. Ct. 63, 76 L. Ed. 210; Id., 290 U.S. 389, 54 S. Ct. 223, 78 L. Ed. 381, escape the imposition of those penalties for such failure. Since he was assured that the only claims against him were civil, he believed that he was subject to the compulsion of Internal Revenue Code sections 145 and 3614, and, in that belief, permitted the examination. In truth and in fact he was not subject to that compulsion so the permission was obtained by fraud.
This argument is not really an alternative but rests upon the proposition which I have already rejected i.e. that the characterization of the investigation as routine amounted to a representation that nothing discovered would be used in a criminal prosecution.
Defendant has also moved for examination of certain Government witnesses and the production of certain documents for use at a hearing on the factual issues raised by his motion to suppress evidence. Since I have disposed of the main motion on defendant's own story, no hearing is necessary and the subsidiary motion to examine is dismissed.
Motion denied.

Good Influence
Seniors in high school seldom realize their place as leaders and role models for the rest of the school. If they are enthusiastic, serious about their future, and concerned with the affairs of lesser mortals like freshmen and lowly seventh-graders, they are respected and even loved by those who just need someone to push them into the joys of participation and a good attitude. On homecoming days we dress up. If the seniors lead the way, it makes for some interesting days and an exhibit of often hidden creativity. Fortunately, this years seniors are doing a great job with the role.
Our over-all theme this year is "Winter Wonderland".
Today was Christmas character day. We had shepherds,
wise men, angels, elves, and reindeer.
