Florida quail hunters apparently are in a Catch-22 situation.
State wildlife officials do little to manage or increase quail populations on public lands, citing a decline in the number of quail hunters.
On the other hand, the same officials say quail hunters are probably declining because there are fewer places for them to hunt.
In 1971, state wildlife experts estimate, there were 85,300 quail hunters who spent 642,500 man-days afield and harvested 1,712,700 quail.
By 1984, there were only an estimated 30,603 quail hunters who spent 210,335 man-days hunting to bag 457,802 birds.
The main reason for the decline, said Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission spokesman Frank Smith, was the loss of access to areas with decent quail populations.
''A lot of land has been posted and a lot of land has been developed -- the habitat has been destroyed,'' Smith said.
And as the private hunting areas vanished, not much was done to improve quail hunting on the state's public hunting areas.
The game and fish commission manages only two of the state's 60 wildlife management areas primarily for quail: Apalachee Wildlife Management Area in Jackson County and the Cecil M. Webb Wildlife Management Area in Charlotte County. The two areas total 70,457 acres.
On the other 4-million-plus acres of public hunting lands, any benefit to the quail population is usually a byproduct of managing for species like deer or turkey.
That's why the recent formation of a Quail Unlimited chapter in Orlando should be encouraging for anyone who enjoys the sport.
But the fledgling chapter faces a definite challenge if it is to turn Osceola County's Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area into a decent quail- hunting site.
The Orlando group has that as one of its goals, but state wildlife experts say it may be an expensive proposition.
The game and fish commission now spends comparatively little to improve the lot of the area's quail colonies.
The habitat improvement effort at Three Lakes is limited to a controlled burning program, which clears the dense underbrush and makes it easier for the birds to find seeds and other food.
But even that isn't enough to make much of an improvement.
Smith, chief of the game commission's bureau of wildlife management, said the burn program clears aproximately 7,000 acres a year on the 43,000-acre management area.
''We'd probably have to double what we're doing now to make an appreciable difference,'' Smith said. ''We don't have the manpower and funds.'' In addition, he said, the commission needs another tractor to help dig fire-control ditches during the burns.
Smith estimates that it costs $2 per acre for a controlled burn, which doesn't include the salaries of the burn crew.
That means it would cost $30,000 a year to keep an appreciable area in Three Lakes clear enough for quail to flourish.
And the real expense is yet to come.
Smith estimates that planting food plots would cost $150 per acre.
''You'd have to have at least 1,000 acres of food plots on Three Lakes to make any appreciable difference in the number of quail,'' he said.
That's $150,000 worth of food plots.
But Richard Turner, the man who organized the Orlando Ducks Unlimited chapter, refuses to be discouraged.
Turner thinks the group can raise some cash and get donations of seed and equipment that will be enough to improve quail hunting on Three Lakes.
The alternative is watching his sport continue to decline.
''If you go out with your kid and spend the whole day hunting and only put up six birds, sure, you're going to hang it up,'' he said. ''But if you go out and flush 12 coveys, you're going to keep on.''

Yes, yes, I know its old hat but doing really is learning.
The best example I have read for a long time is Avinash Kaushik in his book on Web Analytics where he talks about how he got started after someone told him the same thing. He went off and added every tool he could find to his blog to see how the worked. Look where that got him – being one of the most respected sources on web analytics.
I remember going to a seminar about digital stuff a few years ago and Caroline Halrcrow at the British Library said the same thing and me being slightly sceptical but she was right.
So when I set up my first blog I thought crikey what to write about? Everyone else I know does things about workish related digital things.
I did not want to do that for two reasons, one I did not know anything compared to them, and also it seemed to be a bit too much of the day job. So I thought what do I do a lot of? – ah ha, cultural things – why not try that. So I did. Its not the best in the world but hey I know how WordPress works now, plug-ins, SEO tools, keywords etc.
Obviously if you are reading this you will realise that I now write about work related stuff since I feel happier and more confident with digital issues.
This is a bit of a long-winded way of saying the same thing. Generally give it a go and don't be scared.
If you did not attend GovCamp at the weekend #ukgc11 why not try and make it next year?
If you have never been to #Teacamp come along – a very friendly bunch.
And you know the best bit, you get to know lots of great people who become friends. I think that is what is called a 'win, win'

statistically i know i've little to fear. every morning as i jump into my car, slightly rushed with coffee in hand i face more consequence. a simple sunday jog to the park yields more danger. an average day is perilous in ways i never truly see or feel. yet somehow in the last six or seven years i've let myself be consumed by a fear of flying. it started when i had my daughter. the rare trip i had to take alone left me pondering what would happen to her "if". how could she survive without her mommy. mortality suddenly had definition.
but somewhere along the lines it became more. these days even flights with her by my side bring irrationality not common to my character. i don't understand it. hard core statisticals facts that rule so much of who i am are powerless to supress the often paralyzing fear.
i think what scares me most is the possibility of leaving things unfinished. unspoken. unshared. words that for one reason or another never find their flight.
in 9 1/2 hours those words will be 20,000 feet above the ground. praying with each mile crossed that they will safely find the solid ground i need to hide them behind. words i ache to say yet never find the courage … i still love you. i am jealous of what you have. i need you more than i care to admit. i never want to speak to you again. i lied. i do it too. i resent you. it takes all i have to resist. you need to get help.
too much to say. not enough time. i need more time. these moments aim to remind me of the importance of time. which fear is more irrational? that of plane trips or that of sharing what i hide? if i had the courage to speak would i have the fear of flight?

"In a time where evidence-based practice models are leading the way as the treatments of choice for at-risk troubled youth, William H. Quinn offers us an innovative and highly effective treatment approach for juvenile offenders and other serious youth behavioral difficulties. What is most unique about Quinn's Family Solutions Program is its multiple family group format, which he clearly demonstrates through many case examples and solid research, provides families with a strong sense of community, multiple strengths and resources to draw from for support, and can produce rapid changes on individual, family system, and larger systems levels. This book is a timely and valuable contribution to the family therapy literature.." -Matthew D. Selekman, MSW, Co-Director of Partners for Collaborative Solutions "A breakthrough on family and community treatment of youth at risk. This book takes the reader inside a model that is effective, collaborative, and respectful of what families can offer one another in preventing more serious problems in the future. I loved learning the nitty-gritties about how this model works in the real world, including early mistakes and current challenges in using this novel approach--a testament to Bill Quinn's honesty and transparency. I was inspired from start to finish.." -William J.

|You show his parents as John and Margaret: John died in 1610, and Margaret in 1616. If his parents are John and Margaret (either Archdale or Willis), they were born in 1589 (John), and 1590 (Archdale and Willis). The other line for Archdale is 1641, John of London and Elizabeth Lovett. Lovett stayed in England, so he would have been born in Soulbury. Unfortunately, birth record for Virginia has not been located, so most are accepting the 1641 line. However, thee is no evidence that Archdale (1641) ever made it to Virginia. My thinking is he was born in Virginia.

named in the latter part of the 17th century, it had been part of the
larger and older REHOBOTH, an area associated with the ancestry of
Thomas Fugate Smith and the others who trace their lines back to Henry
Smith, who died there, I believe. Either my line and Michael Fuller's
line crosses the Smiths in that area by blood or crosses the line
there only coincidentally and thus does not cross (or, I guess I
should say, come down from it) till somewhere farther up the line
across the Pond, I assume in England.

|You will notice that the gedcom in kit 16461 indicates that the ancestor of Alfred M Smith is one Gabriel Smith of North Carolina. I am leaving that in in respect for the kit taker's belief, based on a reference in a county family book, that this is so. However, there is no source for Alfred's father being Gabriel. And in fact, in tracing back the families through the census, plus the marriage record, it is strongly apparent that Alfred M Smith b c 1836 was born in Georgia and is a son of James, grandson of Jesse.
Here is the line of proof for that.
1850 Franklin Co GA- Alfred Smith 13 in household of James Smith, 50 GA (that makes him born c 1837)
1860 Franklin Co GA/Carnesville -Alfred Smith, age 23 in household of James Smith 60 GA
Nov 2 1861- Alfred M Smith m Sophronia Murphy in Franklin Co GA (source: Hunting for Bears: Georgia Marriages 1699-1944)
1880- Alfred M Smith, S E (wife) and H N in Habersham Co GA. Note that H N has it that his parents were born in GA, I believe the NC on Albert M is a mistake.
That said, we here are always open to correction, and welcome sourced information in support of Gabriel. Otherwise, our strong presumption based on the above is that Alfred M Smith was one of the sons of James Smith, b c 1800 d c 1861 Franklin Co GA. We do have another Gabriel Smith b 1761 NC whose descendants went to Carroll Co GA-these are not a DNA match with the Jesse Smith group.

|"When in 1843 Isaac LONG spied out the land in Ogle County he started something destined to have much to do with the future of our church in this section. He liked the prairies but he loved a maiden in Maryland so he went back home and married Catherine HIGHBARGER. His report of the West was so so glowing that in the summer of 1845 his father, Jacob LONG, and nine or ten children, along with three or four other families, one of which was the Isaac ROWLAND family, decided to come west too. They loaded into heavy wagons that were drawn by four or six hourses such of their possessions as they could bring with them. They drove their cattle through. On June 19th they bade farewell to their Hagerstown friends and began their tedious trek towards the setting sun, arriving at the cabin of John FRIDLEY, LONG's brother-in-law, on July 31.
Consider the LONG family. There were the parents, Jacob, an elder, and Catherine; their three daughters, Susanna and husband, Henry COFFMAN; Catherine and husband, David BUTTERBAUGH; Sarah and husband, Joshua SLIFER; all of these except COFFMAN were members of the church. In addition to these were six other chldren: Isaac and wife, Catherine; four sons and one daughter, unmarried. The LONG families entered the government land north and east of what is now Maryland. These families became the nucleus from which the West Branch Congregation grew. The following spring the tenth of the LONG children, Mary and her minister husband, Samuel GARBER, also came west and settled at the villiage of Maryland, living in the house a few rods from the present Old Order Meetinghouse." p. 26 Jacob Long was elder in charge in the early years of the West Branch church. p. 27 "...Rev. Jacob Long a native of Washington County, Maryland born in 1784 and who was the son of Isaac Long, a native of Pennsylvania of German ancestry....Jacob Long grew to manhood in his native country and there married Catherine Friedly (sp), a native of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and daughter of Andrew Fridley, of Swiss descent." p. 155 Note: Andrew is the brother of Catherine. John is her father., , ,

I'm very bored.
It has been raining the entire weekend.
Both Saturday and Sunday, it rained non-stop.
I cant go out and I've got no one to talk to.
So I did personality test.
It's boring as well.
Like what I got it last year: ESTP.
Boring as well!!!
I'm thinking of where to go for a holiday too.
I know I told girls that I plan to go HK Disneyland.
But that's because I was talking to girls who play Barbie dolls.
Like I said before, I've never even touch a Barbie doll in my life thus far.
Going to Disneyland?
That's like those girly fairytale.
Now I think if someone from beyond can see my inner world, I'm 99% sure that I must be a man right now.
I wanna go to US because of those exciting rides are there.
But it doesn't really make sense to travel to the opposite side of the world taking more than 20hours of flight just for rides.
So I said I should perhaps stay there for like a month and try out all the rides.
But it'll probably be like paying money to scare myself?
Nah, sometimes, it's the wind that blow against my face.
That kinda feeling that it may face some problem and I may die.
Where I'm falling but nothing really happens.
I don't exactly know but I just like going for those roller coaster rides.
I like the kinda feeling where my heart beats fast.
Sometimes I think I'm gonna die because my heart isn't beating fast enough.
It's like girls look at guys and their heart beat fast.
I'll be like "what? he's just a guy =.="
Sometimes, I look at other girls and I think their life is so simple, if you give them some clothes, bags, shoes, makeup etc, they'll be on cloud nine.
But me…

A Houston-area home, designed by Lantz Full Circle, with an asking price of $2.45 million isn't your typical, run-of-the-mill luxury home. It was constructed with a concerted effort to be as environmentally friendly as possible while also helping out the local economy. The result was a 4,000-square-foot plus, LEED Platinum home made from 99 percent recycled materials and 90 percent materials sourced from within the U.S., The Walls Street Journal reports.
Lest you think this is just a based solely on being environmentally friendly and meant to support local economies, the house doesn't skimp on the luxury. A 3,000-bottle wine cellar, a never-ending lap pool, a glass floor above the foyer to allow natural light to flow down from the second story skylight, a second-floor terrace that collects rainwater and stores it in an underground cistern to irrigate the property, and a steam shower with white quartz walls are all opulent touches that can be found within the home.
Huge glass doors slide and pivot to open up the house to the outdoors. Additionally, although it appears to be a two-story house on the outside, it is actually three stories.
Karen Lantz, the architect for the project, says on her firm's website that it is part of her philosophy to "support American jobs by specifying high-quality good manufactured domestically."

Choo Jackson – This World
On the heels of his upcoming project, Beer Flavored Pizza, Pennsylvania-based rapper and Most Dope's own Choo Jackson has let loose a brand new video for his song "My World" to keep the momentum moving forward. Although Jackson produced most of the songs on the project himself, this time well-known Rhode Island-based beatsmith Tecknowledgy is behind the boards with a little help from a sample of Avicii's "Sleep." In the video, Jackson is seen rapping in numerous settings—perhaps all components of his world—with clips of various animals, people and objects thrown in the mix. Check out the visuals up top and stay tuned for a release date for Beer Flavored Pizza.

it's no secret. i am in LOVE with chobani greek yogurt. when i see it on the shelf, i usually clear it out. that might sound like a lot, but truthfully, it really only means i get a handful to plop into my grocery cart. the stuff is uber popular. and super tasty.
my favorite, so far, is the peach. it's the most amazing combination of sweet and tart all in a creamy non-yogurty tasting base. and the fact that it boasts at least 14g of protein is my absolute favorite part. after the peach, i equally love the blueberry and black cherry. after that, the pineapple. (though i would probably love it even more if i just added chunks of pineapple to plain chobani) (why? b/c the mixture made my throat hurt, which i'll blame on the acidity of the fruit's juice.) i am not a fan of the strawberry or the raspberry (not enough fruit) and am dying to try the lemon & honey. i would have been enjoying the pomegranate one, but my brat of a sister stole it today.
there's this whole new movement of adding stuff to the chobani yogurt – oats, granola, etc (check out their fb page). until today, i had yet to try adding anything.
DAY FIVE: meet chobani black cherry topped with crumbled sugar cone (shut up! it's was the only crunchy item i had in the pantry besides pringles. and ew with the pringles.)…

Luke chapters 18 and 19 take us to what his Gospel account means. In chapter 9, Peter owned Jesus as the Messiah, and Jesus immediately begins to tell them why He was sent with verse 22. As the end is drawing near, and they must understand this, He tells them again four more times with 9:44, 12:50, 13:33 and 17:25, but not plainly. He makes it perfectly clear with 18:32+33, but they still do not understand. These matters are the heart of #5, the Gospel and how that, in just 10 words, 'Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead'. Now, here in chapter 19, and just before we commence Passion Week, we come to the very heart, meaning and purpose of all Luke's Gospel account.
Within chapter 18, we already saw that the need was for #1, righteousness with the rich young ruler and verses 18 thru 22, and that only God has it. It is intimated that the righteousness needed in order to gain eternal life comes through a most simple and child-like #7, faith, as verses 15 thru 17 demonstrate. Finally, with verses 31 thru 33, we are told just what it is that we all need to believe in, and that it has everything to do with the 2 elements of #5, the Gospel and Jesus being killed and rising again! Chapter 18 is rich! The chapter concludes on what is believed to be the Friday before Passion Week, and Jesus entering the city of Jericho on His way to Jerusalem with verses 35 thru 43. He gives sight to a blind beggar and makes the point of the necessity for #7, faith in Him, verse 42.
Chapter 19 opens with that passage that gives us the very reason for His coming. In verses 1 thru 10, we have the story of wee Zacchaeus, a tax collector. In the account, Zacchaeus acknowledges that he is a #2, sinner, and is willing to make restitution in verses 7 and 8. This demonstrates that important issue of #6, repentance. The result is that salvation has come to him, illustrative of the #8, New Birth, and that it is not because Zacchaeus has saved himself, but it is because Jesus had come to seek and to save what was lost! Zacchaeus repented, and believed upon Jesus. Jesus forgave him of all his sins and saved him! As with Matthew 20:28, and Mark 10:45, we have here Luke's purpose verse around which all of his Gospel account serves to elevate. Luke's question to you is: Are you lost in your sins? Will you let Jesus save you? It's what the Book is all about!
On their way up to Jerusalem, the next passage, verses 11 thru 27, is to explain that He will not be bringing the kingdom right away, but will be going away, and returning to establish it later, and that His own will have responsibilities and services to perform for Him 'til He returns. Passion Week then commences with 19:28. We begin there next….

My Brush With Death Yogurt
August 10, 2009 at 8:45 pm 2 comments
Curdled milk? Ew. Milk that's been left outside of the fridge overnight? Gross. Well, scratch that … it's time to forget everything you thought you knew about dairy.
Today I had a panic attack about yogurt. At first, I was excited that I'd found a great shortcut recipe for making yogurt in a crockpot. The drama started when someone (you know who you are … hint: your dad used to manage a dairy) reminded that yogurt basically involves letting milk sit outside the fridge for hours and growing bacteria in it.
That was enough for my mind to start racing with crazy thoughts … If good bacteria can grow so easily, what about bad bacteria? Had I sterilized the crockpot enough? Did I follow the directions correctly? Am I about to feed a cesspool of bacteria (a.k.a. death yogurt) to myself and my loved ones?
Before sacrificing myself to food science, I thought I'd talk to a few experts … my dad (a chemical engineer) put my mind at ease: "Cold temperatures inhibit the growth of active cultures and thus the curding process. Moderately warm temperatures are necessary for yogurt formation. Leaving the warm milk (containing cultures) at room temperature for a few hours is safe — you should refrigerate once the yogurt has formed." My mom, the chef in the family, confirmed that that's how she'd made yogurt for years.
The Culture of Yogurt
As I started talking to my Indian American friends about yogurt, I was surprised to find how many of them had tips of their own. My friend Amy's mom used to swap starter cultures with her friends to get slightly different flavored yogurts. It also mixed things up so you weren't using the same exact starter for years on end.
Another friend told me that she was much more successful with yogurt-making in Los Angeles than in Seattle because the temperatures there were warmer — i.e. much closer to the weather in India. I started wondering if that had something to do with my yogurt not setting quite right.
I realized that the process of making curds actually started as a way of preserving dairy products before refrigeration existed (it dates back to at least 4,500 years ago, and there are countless varieties). But just because you're curdling something or adding bacteria, it doesn't mean you can use dated milk or throw your food safety standards out the window.
My batch of curds turned out not to be death yogurt. Actually, despite being runny, it was pretty delicious. If you haven't had whole milk dairy products in a while, I HIGHLY recommend it. But this process confirmed for me that I still have a lot to learn as a cook. Next time, I'll be more diligent about sterilizing my equipment and avoid the worry … as you might be able to tell, I have a slight flair for the dramatic 🙂

stop worrying about sterilizing the equipment. we made yogurt every day growing up by grabbing the standard pot from the dishrack and then heating the milk. then i or my sisters would pop in some culture and boom, next day yogurt. there was no sterilizing.

Right Aspiration is about getting our priorities straight. The faster the world goes and the more technology changes our life, the more we should reflect about pursing our careers in a context that will render good spiritual results as well as career satisfaction. God forces no one to seek first the Kingdom, but those that do are most content with their lives.
Jose Maria Chavira M.S.

Authenticity in Caring is Good for Business
What more is there to life than to work in unison with others and helping those around us to climb the mountain of understanding? As our planet ages we become more aware of our sacred writings and closer to God come those who dare to clasp their hands in silence when their books do not seem to match the love they have in their hearts.
Great transitions require great wisdom and great works are never the opus of one man or woman, but of a collective of humans who dare to believe in the dream that our planet will one day see beyond strife and war so that in each other's embrace we discover the peace that surpasses all understanding.
As we evolve into a race of beings perfected by purpose for each other we shall take in our hands perfect stewardship of the planet that for the next several million years we shall call our home. One day, each Rabbi, Imam, and Priest will see the perfect parts of their scripture were written by the same hand and look into deeper realms where the word love becomes one solitary action that cannot be misunderstood or misinterpreted for by love
God looks into our souls and through love God helps us understand the importance of helping the widow, the orphan and those lovely aged humans we call seniors and will all one day will become. Free will however does not require us to help anyone.
Money we make when we build businesses, however, is best served when we use it dynamically to help others become viable and productive. There are many Philanthropists in this world and each one of us who tends to the needs of others becomes an ambassador of goodwill the moment he or she decides to roll up their sleeves and make difference.
Desire and will is all one needs to make a difference. Once upon a time, the mite of one widow drew the attention of the prince of peace, a lesson that through scripture taught us that in giving the amount or quantity is not the point, rather what truly matters is the intent of heart that gives.
Thus ruled by our hearts we cannot lose for love is a force that will generate in us the dreams that will shape our futures generation after generation right up to the last drop of water that is consumed and the final breath taken before moving on to matters beyond our understanding.

Love him or hate him, if you're a sports fan, you know who Stephen A. Smith is.
The ESPN personality is very good at eliciting a response from his audience.
He's also very good at using multi-syllabic words.
That's a trait impressionist Frank Caliendo picked up on as he imitated Smith in an NFL predictions segment on Mike & Mike on ESPN Radio — while the real Smith was also on the line.
"Before we get started, I'd appreciate if you didn't refer to me as another Stephen A. Smith throughout this segment," Caliendo said after being introduced. "After all, there's only one Stephen A. and I categorically agree with the specified singular nomenclature ergo, we progress with the name Stephen B. Smith for the duration."
He was just getting started. Check out the laughs below.

Hi all Tier C & D promotions! It's time for the rookie draft!
Talent available:
- SMW: Hardy Boyz
- MTW: Chip Minton
- Stampede
Round 2
- Stampede
M-Pro SMW
Start drafting here.
After the rookie draft, Stampede will pick their roster using free agency and that will re open up.
Plus.. it's time for Stealing!!!
Original rules:
Every month the Tier A & B promotions will rotate through one attempt to steal a talent (ie WCW one month, WWF next, and ECW the one after, followed by WCW again). The player can pick one talent from an equal sized or lower tiered promotion to steal. A die will determine if they are successful or not.
If the talent you want to steal is on the same tier and is top 6 for that company, then the player selects one number between 1 and 12. Two dice are rolled if that number comes up, they get the talent.
If the talent you want to steal any other talent then the player selects one number between 1 and 6. A die is rolled if that number comes up, they get the talent.
So.. WCW pick what promotion you want to steal from. If it's a WWF person who is in their top 6, please let me know. You don't have to say the person here.
I will roll the die and we will see if you are successful.

NEW YORK, July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/-- Intellect Neurosciences, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ILNS) announced today it has obtained a European patent relating to the Company's ANTISENILIN(R) monoclonal antibody platform for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The claims of the issued patent cover the ANTISENILIN(R) "free-end specific" antibodies that bind to beta amyloid and use of the antibodies in preventing or inhibiting the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The technology is designed to promote the clearance of beta amyloid which accumulates to reach toxic concentrations in the brains of Alzheimer's patients while reducing the potential for adverse side-effects. Importantly, such drugs avoid binding and thereby potentially interfering with the functions of the Amyloid Precursor Protein, which is an important physiological regulator in the body implicated in controlling essential brain functions as well as blood coagulation. The Company recently disclosed that it has granted a royalty-bearing license to Wyeth and Elan Pharma International Ltd. regarding patents and patent applications related to antibodies and methods of treatment for Alzheimer's disease, including Bapineuzumab, currently in Phase 3 clinical trials. The Company retains the ability to grant additional licenses under its ANTISENILIN(R) monoclonal antibody technology invented by Dr. Daniel Chain, the Company's Chairman and CEO. The ANTISENILIN(R) patents have previously issued in China, Japan and other countries.

I've just completed the fourth week of my 90 days of brilliance plan and I'm still hanging in there. I started off by preparing very detailed weekly plans and sticking to them very closely, but that has tailed off somewhat. Instead I'm now setting overall goals for each week, giving myself much more flexibility day-to-day. I'm feeling pretty good after four weeks:
It's all good stuff. Tomorrow will mark the end of the first 30-day plan so it will be time to sketch out what I want to achieve in the next 30 days.

"Jesus Christ allowed his Sacred heart to be pierced so that it should always remain open for everyone to enter there." St. Julie Billiart
"In the devotion to the Sacred Heart, the heart of Jesus is adored as a symbol of his threefold love: human love, spiritual love, and divine love."
In the Old Testament, this love is described as a father's love for his children or a husband's for his wife. In the New Testament, the promise of living water, the Holy Spirit, is fulfilled in the pierced heart of the Messiah. By the Middle Ages, the Heart of Jesus was the object of a more personal devotion, and in the late 17th century the devotion became a liturgical celebration. In modern times, the image of the Sacred Heat in the home has become a sign that the love of Jesus rules over the family. in 1899 Pope Leo XIII consecrated the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and gave official approval for the use of the Litany of the Sacred Heart.

Our Blog - Garages and Other Home Projects
Garage Door Safety
Let's face it – garage doors don't make it in the news very often. I get it, I'm OK with that. But when they do get in the news for something like the article below outlines, it's both a blessing and a curse.
Of course we're always glad when helpful information such as this is shared and made available to homeowners, especially those here in the Tucson area that we work with on a daily basis. So in that regard we are very happy to see this article.
On the other hand though, it's sort of frustrating that the industry pretty much only gets exposure when there is a potential danger such as this one, some faulty equipment like a garage door opener recall, or when there are reported scam artists going around way over charging for unnecessary garage door repairs…
But I guess that's the nature of garage doors in general – you don't really think about them when everything is working the way it's supposed to. It's only when things go wrong that you even think twice about it. So in that sense, my daily goal is to make you think as little about your garage doors as possible, for as long as possible. By using only quality parts installed with careful precision, Discount Door Service is here to keep your garage doors working smoothly for you. And when they don't, we're here to fix them for you.
OK, so now for the good news/bad news of the recent garage door coverage in a nutshell: Yes, it's possible that your garage door is vulnerable to easily being forced open, but it's quick, easy and inexpensive for you to fix that issue yourself. Check out the information below, and of course, if you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to contact us at Tucson's Discount Door Service by calling (520) 579-9084.
Burglars Can Break Into Your Garage With Coat Hanger In Just Seconds
Your garage door may not be as secure as you think. Here's how to fight back.
Burglars may have the key to your home and it's a 10-cent wire coat hanger.
One expert said the emergency latch on a garage door may be more useful to burglars than homeowners. Bad guys can reach a coat hanger inside the top of the garage door and pop the emergency latch, freeing the door to slide open manually.
Phoenix police said this is an age-old problem going back 20-plus years. But now, YouTube videos can teach bad guys how to get past your garage door in seconds.
But there's an equally low-cost way to fight back.
A zip-tie can be woven into the holes in the emergency latch to secure it in the closed position. That makes it much harder for someone to pull the latch from the outside. Shortening or removing the pull cord can also make it harder for burglars. read more at abc15.com
Just to not be all "doom and gloom", I thought I would also share this story that I was glad to see about Marana, where I spend a lot of time…
Town of Marana broke ground on a new police HQ
MARANA, Ariz.(KGUN9-TV) – After three years of waiting, Marana Police are getting a new police headquarters.
The Town of Marana broke ground on the new building Wednesday morning, according to a press release from Marana Communications Manager.
The push for a new police headquarters began in 2014. Marana Police Chief Terry Rozema told Town Manager Gilbert Davidson that the investment into a new police headquarters "isn't about constructing a new building. This is about serving our town".
The Council decided that the public wholeheartedly supported the project. Town staff didn't receive a single complaint from the public.

Wooden Garage Doors in Tucson
Even though we spend most of our time dealing with garage door repairs, we do also get inquiries about different options to consider when it comes to brand new garage doors. So along those lines of thinking, I thought I would share a bit of information on solid wood garage doors. It's not something we see a whole lot of here in Tucson, but that doesn't mean it's not an option for you.
A garage door must be solid to ensure the safety of not only your vehicles, but your home as well.
But this is not the only functionality of this product, whose numerous options can make deciding on one material over another sometimes so difficult.
Among the selection criteria, insulation capacity and aesthetics are often in first place. The wooden garage door meets all these expectations.
Features Of The Wooden Garage Door
Garage door manufacturers have found in wood a synonym for solidity. They use solid wood, such as pine or fir, to make door finishes that must withstand the passage of time, changes in temperature and especially frequent manipulations.
The Oukoumé wood and the Doussie are generally very appreciated and frequently used because they are very robust. They also make it possible to create doors that last for thirty or even forty years, in spite of the alternation of the humidity and the excessive heat that they must undergo.
The wood, before being worked to obtain the desired shape and dimensions, is treated in order to slow down the chances of it rotting. It is then shaped into the desired shape.
Generally, the garage door is manufactured according to standardized standards but nothing prevents you from ordering one made to measure, depending on the location, the orientation and the dimensions of your garage.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Wooden Garage Door
Wood is undoubtedly a material of unquestionable elegance, but it is nevertheless difficult to install. Because it is a heavy material that, unlike PVC and aluminum, requires a lot of experience and sometimes even the intervention of a whole team of professionals.
Quality wood is also a little more expensive than other types of materials, but then the durability and elegance is something that people are often willing to pay extra for.
At Discount Garage Door Company, we have experience with installing all kinds of doors, so if you're curious about a solid wooden door for your home, don't hesitate to give us a call to discuss your options.

Tucson Seeing Some Things Going Up (Like Our Garage Doors)
As a garage door company, we need to be mindful of both the ups and downs of our product in a literal sense. But when it comes to our home town of Tucson, we definitely prefer to focus on the UP news. And when it comes to housing, since we are closely tied to it in many ways, we're definitely happy to see more signs that things are headed in an upward direction. Even if people continue to use careful language such as "cautiously optimistic". Heck, that's a lot better than what we have heard for more than a few years, so yeah, we'll take it!
Tucson housing market is looking up
Fueled by better-than-expected job growth, falling foreclosures and rising new-home sales, the first half of 2016 produced a long-unseen stability in the local housing market.
And while no one is ready to uncork any champagne, industry observers say the improvement in the first six months of this year is cause for cautious optimism.
"You can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel," said Eric Gibbs, president of the Tucson Association of Realtors. "You can almost touch the end of the tunnel."
"I'm very cautious because we're not completely out of the woods yet," Gibbs said, "but we've had a positive six months — in fact, the best first half since the crash." read more at tucson.com
In fact, with the good news regarding housing, if you're not inclined to pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate, here's a different idea and approach to consider… How about adopting a pet? This weekend would be a great time to do that.
Looking for a New Pet? Forgo the Puppy Mills at 'Adopt, Don't Shop'
Adopt, Don't Shop" day also marks the effective date of Arizona's harmful pro-puppy mill law, SB 1248. The law will prohibit cities, towns and counties from enacting ordinances banning the sale of commercially raised dogs and cats in pet stores and will void ordinances in Phoenix and Tempe. Due to the law, a draft pet store ordinance in Tucson that was pending the outcome of a lawsuit against the City of Phoenix will no longer take effect.
The public can avoid supporting cruel puppy mills by never buying a puppy in a pet store. Most pet store puppies come from commercial breeding facilities that force animals to spend their entire breeding lives in cramped wire cages, to have minimal food and water, to be exposed to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods of time, and to be given only minimal veterinary, dental care and grooming. Other pet stores who sell dogs and cats sourced locally are likely paying unlicensed "back-yard" breeders to produce popular breeds so that they have stock year round. These puppies and kittens leave the stores unaltered, unlike shelter-sourced animals, which must be altered before leaving. This practice contributes to the homeless pet issue and the costs to taxpayers and rescues. read more at tucsonweekly.com
Then again, if you're headed out with your pets these days, there's an extra threat that you need to be aware of. Normally we remind people to be extra cautious with their pets in the car during times such high heat. Many people would never think to leave their animal in a car unattended, which is great. However, there still seems to be quite a few folks who aren't quite as careful when it comes to driving through areas of high water.
We have been getting some crazy amounts of rain here in southern Arizona lately. It is SO important that everyone be careful out there and don't risk entering areas of high or flowing water. It's much better to be late and safe than the alternative.
Flash floods close roads, strand drivers in Arizona
PHOENIX – Flash flooding snarled rush hour traffic in Phoenix Tuesday evening, while the heavy monsoon rains also inundated roadways in the Tucson area and prompted the evacuation of two high schools.
The flooding closed numerous roads and stranded drivers, prompting water rescues or assists in Scottsdale, Phoenix and Tucson, officials said.
So much rain had fallen in a short span of time — up to 2 inches in one hour in central Phoenix — that the National Weather Service was referring to the storm as a 100-year event, meaning that amount of rainfall has a 1 percent chance of happening in any given year, in a specific location, according to a report on the Arizona Republic website. Motorists were abandoning their cars near the intersection of Camelback Road and 35th Avenue.
Some areas near Tucson received nearly 2 inches of rain Tuesday morning, the National Weather Service said. read more at foxnews.com

More Positives for Arizona Overall
As a parent, we all love to hear people say good, positive things about our kids. As a lifelong resident of Tucson, we love hearing good things about Arizona. And it seems that we've gotten a few more "plus" reviews and mentions recently that we were happy to read (and are happy to share with you here).
Arizona ranks No. 1 in aerospace manufacturing
Arizona is home to more than 1,200 aerospace and defense companies, according to the Arizona Commerce Authority, and the industry's growth in the state has put it in the top ranking for aerospace manufacturing.
PricewaterhouseCoopers released a ranking of the top places for aerospace manufacturing, and Arizona came in at No. 1, beating out Florida, Utah and Georgia, among others.
Arizona's aerospace and defense total exports rose by almost 22 percent from 2011 to 2014, reaching a $3.47 billion total, primarily due to a near $400 million increase in aircraft, engines and parts exports, according to a 2015 study by the International Trade Administration. read more at bizjournals.com
That's good to hear and seems promising for overall growth for our state.
On top of that story, there was another bit of good news that, (no offense meant), I have to take with a grain of salt.
Study: Tucson second best city in nation for motorists
PHOENIX — Sure. You may hate driving in Arizona.
The traffic. The noise. All the other bad drivers.
But a new report suggests that Arizona cities are among the best in the country for motorists.
It's not because WalletHub went out and looked at how Arizonans are driving. About the closest they came to that is looking at accident rates as compared to the national average.
Instead, the web-based financial advice firm analyzed what it says are 21 key metrics, including those accidents, to figure out which cities are the best for folks behind the wheel.
And Scottsdale came in first in the entire country.
Tucson is No. 2. But Gilbert, Mesa and Chandler came in fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively. Via tucson.com
Maybe it's because so many Tucson drivers feel good knowing that if they ever need any kind of garage door service, Discount Garage Door Company is here to help them. What do you think? (Yeah, take it with a grain (or 3) of salt! lol)
Tucson – Survivng The Summer
OK, we know it's hot here in the summer time. But these days there's even more to be on the lookout for as far as surviving in Tucson this summer. Fortunately for us, between some common sense, being careful and having some top-notch law enforcement, we should all make it through just fine.
Whether it's weather, natural predators or un-natural predators, Tucson is seeing its' fair share of action already this summer…
Woman kayaks through Tucson streets
When life gives you water, kayak through it
Friday afternoon, Tucson saw a record amount of rain, and since the streets flood when it barely sprinkles, you knew there were going to be some epic things to come out of it. Exhibit one is what the Stone underpass looked like (lol at the person who tried to drive a car through that). Exhibit B, and the best thing I've seen on Tucson twitter since someone was chasing a pelican down Speedway, is this woman kayaking down her street read more at azdesertswarm.com
That's definitely making the most of a rough situation for a real outdoor enthusiast!
But even the true nature lovers need to be careful these days. When we're not getting flooded out by massive monsoons, the heat can bring the wildlife a bit closer than we really should get. People trying to be "helpful" by putting out water and/or food are really just asking for trouble – both from the wildlife and from the authorities as it's actually against the law.
Cougar sightings spike in residential areas
TUCSON – The Arizona Game and Fish Department is reporting a spike in mountain lion sightings in residential areas.
AGFD spokesman Mark Hart said animals often look for water outside of their usual ranges during the hot, dry months of May and June. Even if the lions are not thirsty, they might be following their prey.
"It's a quandary for us," Hart said, "because we have a duty to the public to report sightings, particularly if they rise to a dangerous level. None of the behavior has been especially dangerous. But the presence of a mountain lion in a residential area is cause for concern."
This past week the Game and Fish Department received multiple reports of lion sightings in Sabino Canyon, according to Hart.
Hart also said 9 bear sightings have been reported in the Santa Catalina Mountains since May 21. Via kvoa.com
Speaking of the authorities… we can't be thankful enough for the great work performed by some of the best here locally in stopping what could have been yet another horrific headline. While it's tragic that anyone, especially such a young person, would feel the need to act so violently, the fact that a bigger tragedy was averted is great news. Hats off to all of law enforcement involoved in stopping this mad man.
Arizona Man Accused of Planning Terrorism Targeting Government Buildings
An FBI task force on Friday arrested a Tucson man on terrorism related offenses involving a conspiracy targeting government buildings in two cities in Arizona, authorities said.
The allegations involve conspiring to commit acts of terrorism on government buildings in Phoenix and Tucson, Attorney General's Office spokesperson Mia Garcia said.
Authorities told NBC News the arrest and allegations are not related to the Independence Day weekend, and the timing of the arrest was coincidence. There are no outstanding suspects. read more at nbcnews.com

Sorting It Out After the Storm
Wow, that was a doozy of a storm we had, eh? And just a few days ago we were talking about the crazy, record breaking heat. Boy, if this start to the summer is any indication of what's to come (especially since we often don't feel like summer really starts until the beginning of July), we're in for quite a ride this year! Just driving around town this morning the evidence of how powerful that monsoon was could be seen everywhere.
Tucson crews clearing roadways after damaging storms
City of Tucson transportation crews were out Monday, June 27, cleaning up after damaging storms struck over the weekend.
According to Shawn Moore with the Tucson Department of Transportation, some crews were out until 4 a.m. with many of them reporting back early in the morning to resume clean up operations.
Moore says crews had up to 15 sites to visit Monday, and clean-up is expected to take a couple days.

Speaking of water in Tucson, let's all keep our fingers crossed that we'll be able to watch one of our own competing soon in the Olympics. Go get 'em Marcus!
No handicap: Deaf swimmer Marcus Titus on cusp of qualifying for Olympics
Deaf since birth, Titus swims in a quiet isolation that he believes actually gives him an edge over those in the other lanes, who can hear everything going on around them.
Now, Titus is on the cusp of his first Olympics.
He qualified for Tuesday's final of the 100-meter breaststroke at the U.S. Swimming Trials. If he can finish in the top two, he'll be headed to Rio, no doubt serving as an inspiration to others with so-called disabilities.
"I just felt really awesome," Titus said after the semifinals Monday night, speaking as well as communicating with sign language. "I know I can get on the Olympic team."
A native of Tucson, Arizona, Titus didn't start swimming competitively until his freshman year of high school, but he never let his disability stand in the way. Via nbcolympics.com
And while we're waiting for the Olympics to arrive, why not cheer on some other stellar Tucson athletes with the University of Arizona Wildcats baseball team making it to the finals of the College World Series in Omaha. Gooo Cats!
JC Cloney to start for Arizona in Game 1 of College World Series finals
OMAHA, Neb. – Junior left-hander JC Cloney will start for Arizona in Game 1 of the best-of-three College World Series finals against Coastal Carolina. First pitch is scheduled for a little after 4 p.m., Tucson time. The game will air live on ESPN.
Cloney started and earned the victory in the first of three consecutive CWS elimination games Wednesday. Cloney pitched seven shutout innings in a 3-0 victory over UC Santa Barbara. He threw 95 pitches. Arizona's No. 2 starter for most of the season, Cloney has a 7-4 record and a 2.66 ERA.
Cloney will face sophomore right-hander Zack Hopeck. Hopeck is 3-3 with a 3.81 ERA. He has made 15 appearances this season, including nine starts. He has allowed 41 hits in 49 2/3 innings with 11 walks and 34 strikeouts. read more at tucson.com

Tucson – Big Heat, Small Apartments
We got through that super hot streak, left now to deal with just simply really hot weather for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll get lucky and get a bit of rain to chill us down a little.
While the temps were crazy high, it turns out that something else in Tucson is relatively crazy low… the average square footage of rental apartment units (compared to other cities across the US, Tucson has the smallest average studios and one bedrooms).
Surprise: Cities With the Biggest—and Smallest—Apartments
In an age where soaring housing prices and the urge to downsize are giving juice to the tiny-house movement, it isn't surprising that rental units across the U.S. are getting even smaller. Maybe it's a sign to finally purge those dusty shoes and record collections taking up valuable space?
The average size of a brand-new apartment is 8% smaller this year, at 934 square feet, than it was in 2006, according to a recent report from RentCafe.com.
The smallest units overall are in Tucson, AZ, a city not far from the Mexican border. Studios are a mere 398 square feet, while one-bedrooms are a cramped 595 square feet and two-bedrooms are just 907 square feet. Via realtor.com
Maybe that's why we're seeing more interest in garage conversions… who knows?
And speaking of small things, but big problems, Tucson is also in the new for helping to try and sort out what has been going on with declines in honey bees in recent years. This is something that would affect all of us far beyond just honey production, so it's nothing to sneeze at.
Science detectives investigate a 'mitey' big problem
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists are hot on the trail of a honey bee killer, and their detective work has taken them from hives in Tucson, Arizona, to those in Bismarck, North Dakota.
Instead of cordoning off the sites with crime-scene tape, the scientists are blocking access to the hives using cut lengths of PVC pipe with a slit about midway down. There, a sliding wire-mesh door separates incoming bees from outgoing ones.
None of the busy little winged bearers of pollen and nectar will get by without inspection-and for good reason: the researchers suspect the bees are physically harboring their target: an oval-shaped, pinhead-sized parasite called the Varroa mite.
The team's investigations in Bismarck this June are actually a follow-up study to the one they completed last year at two Arizona sites. Findings from that study suggest that bees can bolster their hives' existing mite population by carrying in Varroas from other colonies-an influx that most often occurs in the fall, especially November. read more at phys.org
Just a couple of interesting stories that relate to what makes Tucson so cool while still being so hot.
Graduations in Tucson
Those of us here at Discount Garage Door Company would like to take a moment to congratulate all the new graduates around Tucson, no matter what level you're moving on to from here. We love learning and it's a never ending process for us.
And with that, we would like to share a little graduation speech we came across that was both impressive and made us laugh, which, considering it was based around current politics, was rather surprising. The wonderful thing here (in my opinion), is not only the talent of this young man, but the fact that he was able to genuinely thank his teachers while entertaining the crowd and keeping the politics "non-political".
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Middle schooler impersonates politicians in graduation speech
(CNN) – Lots of professionals are getting laughs impersonating the presidential candidates, but they're no match for an Illinois eighth-grader who went on a campaign speech-style riff during Thomas Middle School's graduation.
He may not have the polish of a professional impersonator, but 14-year-old Jack Aiello gave a hugely popular graduation speech at the suburban Chicago school, riffing on Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. read more at tucsonnewsnow.com
Tucson is Great but… Beware the Coming Heat!
Those of us that live here in Tucson already know that Tucson is great… most of the time. But when the heat comes, it comes hot and heavy! And we're about to get some of that beyond what even we are used to.
120 Degrees! Western Wildfires Explode With Triple-Digit Heat Wave on the Way
If you live in Arizona, California or Nevada, watch out for temperatures as high as 120 degrees in the next few days.
Excessive heat warnings are in effect beginning this weekend until as late as next Wednesday for the southern half of Arizona, much of Southern California and a tiny slice at the southernmost tip of Nevada.
Cities in the mercury-popping warning area include Phoenix and Tucson in Arizona; Los Angeles, San Diego, Anaheim and Palm Springs in California; and Las Vegas — just in time for the arrival of as many as 200,000 music lovers for the annual Electric Daisy dance music festival this weekend. read more at nbcnews.com
The thing is, despite these momentary spells of extraordinary heat, Southern Arizona is a great place to live. And the word is getting out more now than ever…
Tucson makes top 10 of 'worktirement' cities
With more and more seniors staying in the job market later, Tucson comes in at No. 9 on the best "worktirement" cities in America.
SmartAsset, a financial services company, ranked communities based on several factors, including average effective tax rate, number of seniors, median housing costs and senior unemployment rate.
Tucson was the second city in the Southwest. Las Vegas is ranked No. 4. Fort Lauderdale tops the list. Check out the full list here. read more at kvoa.com
One of the things we love is that even when it gets this crazy hot here, there are always a variety of things that you can find to do to entertain yourself, you just have to plan accordingly. For instance, if you need something in the middle of the day, do it inside, like a great, new release movie "Finding Dory".
'Finding Dory' swims into theaters Friday
(CNN) Starting Friday, everyone's favorite forgetful fish is back in "Finding Dory," the sequel to the 2003 hit "Finding Nemo."
Dory, Marlin and Nemo are leaving the reef for another memorable journey. Despite her short-term memory loss, Dory suddenly recalls her childhood memories of her parents, and the trio sets off to California to find them. See more…
If you want to head out at night and the bar scene isn't your thing, we've got good news this weekend…

Republican for U. S. Senator
Suite 4406
30 E. Huron Street
Chicago, IL 60611-4723
(312) 440-4124
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 2, 2007
(CHICAGO)(August 2, 2007) Chicago-based U. S. Senate candidate, Internet journalist, broadcaster and foreign policy expert Andy Martin today took note of the "second" entry of "Slippery Steve" Sauerberg in the Illinois Republican Party U. S. Senate primary.
"Eric Krol, a Daily Herald columnist, doesn't particularly care for me," Martin stated at his headquarters. "But I am still laughing after reading Krol's blog on Steve Sauerberg's 'second coming' into the Republican senate primary. 'Slippery Steve Sauerberg' is hilarious.
"Steve says he is 'not a politician,' and he proves it.
"It looks as though Sauerberg is more liberal than I am, and he is supposed to represent the 'conservative' wing of the party. Hallelujah.
"In sum and substance, Steve Sauerberg is not a serious candidate for U. S. Senator, and his candidacy is laughable. There are rumors that he offered himself up as a sacrificial candidate to derail my own campaign. Those rumors look pretty credible after yesterday.
"While vanity candidates are always welcome, Sauerberg is not only not a politician, he has no idea how the political process functions.
"Sauerberg made an initial announcement in May. Yesterday he came back with a 'second coming,' and indicated he still had no idea where he stood on issues. He supports an assault weapons ban? What kind? Sauerberg couldn't say. After three months S'berg was still a blank canvas on the Second Amendment. And he's running in a Republican primary?
"Sauerberg supports abortion, but won't say when and how. And he's a doctor? Wouldn't a doctor, at least, have some definite ideas on abortion? Not 'Slippery Steve.' He won't say.
"Sauerberg confuses Americans' dislike of 'career' politicians with their equally strong demands for experienced candidates. Americans are dying in Iraq; for Sauerberg that was not one of his 'Ten Top Issues' yesterday. Instead, he marched down to Durbin's office to confront the senator over 'real tort reform.' Hello? Is this what sets Sauerberg's blood running? Special interests for doctors? He's Durbin lite, with special pleading for his doctor friends. The man is a joke. Sauerberg's 'experience' does not extend any further than the pen of his press release writer. He is a comic book candidate in every sense of the word.
"Sauerberg has no experience in foreign policy and national security, so he focuses on minutiae. Where does he stand on the big picture? Sauerberg is home watching TV. Or out to lunch.
"I welcomed Sauerberg to the race in May, and I still do. If he wants to run and make a fool of himself he should. It makes me look good.
"No one questions my ability to function in the media. Thirty years ago, the Chicago Tribune said '[Martin] is an absolutely brilliant campaigner…his public relations skills are masterly. He makes a point of studying specific issues and …and talking about them knowledgeably to the appropriate audience.' (Chicago Tribune, February 25, 1978) The Tribune's comments confirm that I am the only candidate in Illinois history who helped build an Interstate Highway, from Rockford to Bloomington (I-39).
"And, I have improved with age and experience.
"No one doubts my ability to go eyeball to eyeball with Durbin, and confront him. And whip him.
"My experience in the pivotal Middle East is unparalleled by any candidate in either party. I lived in Baghdad in 2003; I predicted and documented our disaster there. I have a record of intelligent commentary and analysis. I have real experience in the areas where real knowledge will be essential to making real decisions in 2009. Sauerberg has none.
"To send Sauerberg up against Dick Durbin would be a form of child abuse. S'berg is a babe in the woods. I am glad he is running, because he gives me a foil. But I fail to see how Sauerberg can do anything but embarrass his supporters and Republican Party leaders. And deplete his bank account. Spend it all, Steve. You'll need it."
"Slippery Steve? Please send me an e-mail when you decide where you stand on the issues," Martin said jocularly.

After my birthing into the world of mail art two people asked if they could exchange with me… I was so excited I got to work straight away, I can't share it with you yet because they havent received it, but the lovely Jessica Gowling all the way over in Canada has finally received her package;
I sent her a Hunderwasser postcard, a cutting of a vintage advert for oats, some buttons from my collection, a knitted patch that I called 'Mountains made of wool' (The zine she sent me was called 'Mountains made of fur) and a really cute little zine called 'Bears in your face' because I know she LOVES bears; this was a cautionary tale of what can happen if you profess your love of bears too publicly! I wrapped it all in one of my print designs printed onto paper.
See what she thought about it here, along with a mountain of other great mail art from creatives around the world, it must be wonderful receiving so much artful post every week!
