So, I needed some binding to put on my refashion men's jumper. I had the perfect fabric – a zany, eclectic, psychedelic, very 60's looking fabric. It would look perfect against the grey knit material.
So I looked into making my own and came across a continuous strip method – I would get so bored so quickly sewing all those itty bits together – I looked at several different youtube videos and just couldn't understand how you sewed the thing together. Then I came upon this YouTube video by Iona. This seems like a much easier way of cutting longer strips and therefore less stitching. So I gave it a go and it worked. yay
I have a 1″ bias strip maker and in my fabric went. I cant remember what this fabric is but it had a massive resistance to the iron. It took ages to crease up nicely – which is great if you're wearing a garment I guess but no so great when you're making tape.
Anyway, here is the finished product.
Now to attach it to my jumper.
I can't believe I have a whole world of creativity at my hands in this gorgeous tape. I wanna bias bind everything now!

still have a bit of a deaf spot with them... in fact I reviewed the Macro Dub Infection CD Johnny starts with so must have played it many a time, and that Coil track made no impression on me then...
grown to dig 'em more in recent years, but of all their stuff this is still the one that shivers my marrow
Coil-talk reminded me tangentially that the highlight for me at Incubate 2012 was the Chris & Cosey set: a sort of greatest hits revue, a bit like what I imagine seeing Sweet Exorcist in their prime would have been like (if they'd actually played live): slamming yet eerie, sensual and dark, techno but veined with industrial (the famous Tutti cornet came out to play, great reverby gashes of sound from a headless guitar)
this YouTube (shot from someone's phone no doubt) doesn't capture it really
this one is slightly better
Incubate was full of industrial stuff, much of it from Legacy Artists
Laibach, obviously (as discussed)
Nurse With Wound (disappointing, a real flat souffle, a porridge of chuntering Meat Beat Manifesto type breakbeats that seemed to go on for hours + aimless scratching from the Man Himself - who's belatedly discovered turntablizm, it seems - + recited text from a black lady up front -- apparently at some NwW gigs, they actually have an MC!)
There was a rather touching documentary film shown about Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and his late lady love...
Not industrial exactly but industrial-tinged / industrial-and-Goth influenced were Raime, who were brilliant. The texture-play of their sound really comes out when played through a big system, and superb use of cinematic projections (mostly Tarkovsky I think)
Raime at Incubate was a live set, all their own music; this below is a DJ set at Boiler Room and talking of industrial one of the first things they play is Cabaret Voltaire...
Another Incubate highlight was not industrial but it is Mugwump-related - Maria and the Mirrors. Despite, or perhaps because of technical difficulties that kept bringing the set to a halt and had the band almost tearing their hair out, it was terrifically tense and exciting. "Not industrial at all"-- well, the combination of pounding manual rhythm and sampled/electronic sound-smear did occasionally make me think of The Young Gods and of Cop Shoot Cop, who sometimes get loosely lumped in 'industrial' ...
In other TG news, they are stepping decidedly into Retromania territory with their cover of the whole of Nico's Desertshore.

Apparently, some Mexican college activists here in the United States are/were unhappy about how some people celebrate the semi-faux holiday of Cinco de Mayo:
Drinking tequila shots, eating tacos, and wearing sombreros do not commemorate Mexican culture; on the contrary, that offends, marginalizes, and isolates many of our friends, classmates, and community members, and casts our entire community in poor light...Hmmm, no mention from them about the fun and ridiculous things that people do on St. Patrick's Day. Having a mucho amount of Irish blood in me, I could get all indignant about some of the potentially offensive sights I see on St. Paddy's Day (including calling it St. Paddy's Day). Instead of tequila, it's whiskey or Killian's Irish Red beer. Instead of tacos, it's corned beef. Instead of sombreros, it's those little green bowler hats that leprechauns wear. The difference is that I could give a shit less that people are making light of the Irish culture. Apparently, these Mexican activists are, like many professional activists out there, looking for something - anything - about which to be aggrieved and offended.

Album Review: Helena Blackman - The Sound of Rodgers and Hammerstein (2010)
"We're going to look for the treasure"
Since finishing as runner up on Lloyd Webber's "
How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?
", Helena Blackman has casually shaken off any of the negative connotations that might be associated with reality TV by establishing a career that has seen her work consistently in musicals and cabaret for more than a decade. From leading tours of
South Pacific
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
, to intimate shows at the
, to full-on leading lady territory in two Kilworth House productions (
My Fair Lady
and yes,
The Sound of Music
), Blackman's undoubted talent has taken the time to develop and really shine.
London audiences will have the pleasure of seeing her soon in
A Spoonful of Sherman
at The Other Palace, so I'm turning my attention to her 2010 album
The Sound of Rodgers & Hammerstein
. Again, it is indicative of a performer determined to tread her own path in rejecting the usual opening gambit of safe standards and pop songs that peppers many a debut album in this genre, and moving to a different but no less crowded field of anthologies celebrating a single composing team.
It's a good match though, as Blackman's shimmering soprano is made for these golden age compositions (they just don't write for sopranos these days...) and with producers Neil Eckersley and Paul Spicer, some astute selections have been made.
'The Gentleman is a Dope' is a sparkling hit, 'I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of my Hair' is imbued with character as well as clarity as is the delectable take on 'What's the Use of Wondrin'?', and duetting with Daniel Boys on 'People Will Say We're in Love' is a mouthwatering teaser for their forthcoming collaborations.
Mike Dixon's musical supervision provides some lush orchestrations which remain respectful and restrained and Blackman's vocal remains interesting throughout. The only real mis-step for me comes with the final choice of 'Climb Every Mountain', a song far too grandiose for inclusion here and one which doesn't entirely benefit from such a young singer straining to the heights of the Austrian Alps.

Springsteen Plays SOLD OUT Times Union Center
|The Pit People
The band played close to three hours and left the crowd very satisfied by mixing in some old songs along with songs from Springsteen's current release "Wrecking Ball".
Memorable Audible
From Backstreets.com
The biggest BUSA treat of the night came after the "Apollo Medley," as Springsteen pulled a sign from the pit and called an audible. "We haven't played this in a long time," he said while strumming the chords, and he decided to go it alone for "I'm Goin' Down" B-side "Janey Don't You Lose Heart." He added a dedication: "This is for Molly, in memory of her mom, Jane." A poignant moment came at the end of the solo acoustic surprise, as Bruce called for a sing-along: "Everybody one time with Molly." He channeled that emotion into the "Backstreets" that followed; like "Downbound Train," there was nothing rote about it, Bruce living out the song in his delivery.
Patti remains absent. On the setlist but not played: "Two Hearts," The River," "American Skin (41 Shots)," and, as a possible post-"Tenth Avenue" bonus, "Sherry Darling." Tonight was probably a snot-rocket record for the tour so far, though if Bruce was feeling under the weather, you wouldn't have known it from his vocals or his energy level.Setlist:

We Take Care of Our Own
Wrecking Ball

Obama Clinton Trade Wars to being Nuclear Wars
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I was speaking with an industry insider this morning and these are a few facts which have been hidden from the world, and are slap in the face to the bullshit of Ted Cruz with his moron backers spewing Smoot Hawley all over the internet on tariffs along with the horseshit of Hillary Clinton's backers who are morons in being uninformed or absolute liars, because America has already begun a trade war under Birther Obama.
Do you have a rough guess about how many smelters were in America operating when Obama stole the election in 2008?
The answer was there were around 4000 smelters, recycling and making American steel.
Do you know how many smelters are operating in the United States after Obamacare, after Hillary Clinton went over and took Chicom bribes for Obama 20 trillion dollar debt, ruining another industry as Obama ruined coal?
The answer is less than 400.
Thousands of metal smelters in America have been wiped out, sold off and are no longer employing Americans, because of the Obama regime.
New question, is Obama putting tariffs on anything? You do remember TPP right? Obamatrade as the great savior?
OK here are some facts on this. The metal casings and pipe............hmmm that sounds like Union Steel and American Big Frac obtained an over 200% tariff on Chinese manufactured casings.
Incredible right? Yes Obama has already begun a trade war with China and no one knows about it.
Oh it gets better too. You remember Birther Hussein, the one who jokes about his birth certificate all the time, the one bowing to China in 2009 literally, well his Chicom brothers hacked into Ameristeel.
Don't bother looking for this exclusive online as stuff like this never gets covered, and it is only fictional hacking by Vladimir Putin into the DNC computers that the FBI looks into.
For those who do not know. Ameristeel manufactures high technology metals for things like automobiles, and that requires space age formulation, as steel just does not appear by magic tricks.
Those formulas were hacked by China, that would be Obama and Clinton's best friends, who Obama admires so very much, and now China has the American secret technology to create advanced steel.
Again, for those who do not comprehend this in the Lame Cherry review of metals. Chinese metals are inferior. They do not have the heat, the blast furnaces or the formulations. Their metals wear out in being soft and their metals as in cast iron cookware require twice the heat compared to old American Wagnerware, because of all the impurities in the Chinese metals.
So to review this as it does get worse, Obama and Clinton bow to China. China hacks into United States industry to steal formulas. Obama Clinton retaliate with high tariffs on Chinese pipe casings in opening a trade war which no one has told you about.
Into this Clinton and Cruz morons keep trying to attack Donald Trump on tariffs, and lo and behold, Obama is already engaged in exactly that.
Oh and the worse part...........
Chinese piping has disappeared, but suddenly the South Americans are spiking in exports to America. Again for the Clinton and Cruz morons, China is dumping their piping into South America, where it is being relabeled as originating from those nations, and America is getting the exact same shaft as it was before.
That is what the Obama regime and Hillary Clinton have brought America to. The same ruination of American jobs, with a wink and a nod to China to keep exporting and this criminal regime allowing new labels to be placed on Chinese goods being trafficked through South America.
Now you know something that has not even appeared on ZeroHedge, as the criminal regime of Obama Clinton, linked up to Cruz Big Wall Street, has created this entire syndicate.
Think of it in several thousands smelters disappeared from America, which is an issue of national security and all the Obama regime could do was take money from China and give money to GM, as Warren Buffett runs his rail monopoly, Big Koch gets it's ethanol monopoly, and Soros got his grain monopoly.
Hanging around Ted Cruz proves that you have shit for brains in attacking Donald Trump and looking to Hillary Clinton in attacking Donald Trump on tariffs proves you have horse shit for sense.
Donald Trump's policies on protecting America is designed to bring good jobs back to America, and not provide Wall Street speculation in relabeled Chinese steel coming out of South America, in an Obama trade war.

_Barren in the Promised Land: Childless Americans and the Pursuit of Happiness_ ) and Kristin Ross (author of _Fast Cars, Clean Bodies: Decolonization and the Reordering of French Culture_).
Contributions are invited from scholars working in any relevant discipline, particularly history, literary studies, cultural studies, social and cultural theory, history of art and design, film and media studies. Likely topics for discussion include:
America/France as social model
Cold War culture and society
Colonialism/post-coloniality and modernisation
Franco-American encounters and modernism
The state
The body and sexuality
The rise of social science

World Cup 2014 Live Stream: Watch USA Vs. Portugal & More
Ever since the USMNT stunned Ghana on June 16, every American has been dying to see the boys in red, white and blue get back on the pitch. The day has finally arrived — USA faces off against Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal on June 22, and you can watch that game and more by live streaming the World Cup below.
"I believe that we will win!" That's what you'll hear ringing out from every bar in the United States at 6 p.m. ET on June 22 when the US Men's National Team squares off against Portugal. But even before the U.S. takes on Cristiano Ronaldo and company, you can watch two more World Cup games to prepare yourself — and you can do it all by tuning into the live stream below.
World Cup 2014 Live Stream — Watch USA Vs. Portugal
Here's what's on tap for Day 11 of the World Cup:
12:00 p.m. ET — Belgium Vs. Russia
Both of these teams needed late goals to reverse their fortunes in their first games. Belgium roared back late to fight off the upset and beat Algeria 2-1, while Russia scored late to salvage a tie with South Korea. After this game, we'll see which of these teams is for real, and which one's likely not making it to the knockout phase.
Watch The Netherlands, Brazil & More Here!
3:oo p.m. ET — South Korea Vs. Algeria
Sorry, but this one strikes me as a bit of a snooze fest. Unfortunately it seems like we might be in store for one of those infamous 0-0 ties. But don't worry, because the best is yet to come…
6:00 p.m. ET — United States Vs. Portugal
With the USMNT grabbing a victory in the last minutes against Ghana on June 16, soccer hype has never been bigger in the States — they're one-third of the way through the Group of Death and they couldn't be in a better position. But there's still a ton of work left to be done. First up — Portugal, who is ranked 4th in the world. A sign of hope for the Americans though is that Portugal actually got walloped by Germany in their first game, and star forward Cristiano Ronaldo isn't exactly healthy. If you thought nationalism was at an all-time high after the Ghana game, just wait to see what'll happen if the U.S. beats Portugal and advances out of the group stage.
The anticipation is killing me — I'm sure it's killing you. But when the time comes, don't miss a second of the action by live streaming the games above (Note: to stream the World Cup on ESPN, you must have a cable subscription).
— Andrew Gruttadaro

At first I couldn't remember why I had written it, but it was an idea for an interview I'm planning.
It's a good question for many occasions, though. How long before our school successes or hurts aren't a big deal? In hindsight, you might have personal worries or stories that once obscured the entire horizon, and now they're not the big deals they once were.

A teacher at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell may have discovered the first scientific evidence of manufactured debris made on another planet. Furthermore, this debris was found near the location where pieces from an alleged flying saucer were discovered outside of Roswell in 1947.
Frank Kimbler teaches high school level Earth Sciences and college level Geology at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell. He says he has always had an interest in UFOs, and actually had his own unusual sighting in his twenties. So when he moved to Roswell, he decided to put his expertise to the test and take a shot at investigating the most famous UFO incident of all time, the crash at Roswell. Read more

Roswell Debris Proven to Be Extraterrestrial
No one knows how much debris was picked up and kept by the first people to stumble upon the 1947 crash of a UFO in Roswell, New Mexico, but debris from the crash continues to be discovered. Frank Kimbler, a New Mexico high school geology teacher, found some pieces of debris and had them tested. He says the test proved that the debris was extraterrestrial.

Past, Present, and Future
Posted in: Life & Culture
As the NY Times article states, this whole blogging thing "began with a single blog by a student five years ago, at the dawn of the Facebook era." Let me share with you an anecdotal history of blogging, what I'm doing lately, and how MIT has continued to shape me post-graduation. Since I've worked in corporate America for about 5 "semesters" now (they don't get IAP off), I will organize my entry more than I ever have before. Hold me back from making PowerPoint slides!!
-- MIT blogging was not always this fancy
-- I put my Course 14 skills to good use
-- MIT alums are cool
I'll keep this short. During my CPW in April 2003 (wow), I took some photos of all the madness and sent them to Matt McGann. You know, the usual: a cappella concerts, liquid nitrogen ice cream, etc. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Matt's a big deal so he didn't respond immediately. I am very detail-oriented (some might use a different word here) about stuff like this so I sent him another email in November 2003 asking if I could delete the photos or if he still wanted them. He hired me on the spot to write some "photo journals" over IAP. Had I known this would have happened, I would have emailed him in September. Good thing I was on pass/no record still. (Check out that linkage -- not rusty at all!)
Drafting my first couple of "entries" was hilarious. I would make Word documents with photographs of things I was doing and punny captions below, and then email these to Mari to "post" to the old, old admissions site This was while everyone in the entire office is reading thousands of applications and planning CPW. I believe I wrote 4 entries: making fondue for Valentine's day, going to a formal, and then maybe some stuff about playing in the snow. I don't remember anymore - I'm an old.
Sophomore year, we moved to the Institute-wide MIT blogs site and thought we were pretty pro. Matt and I continued to blog and had a few other entries by another student, I believe. People who knew where these were seemed to like them, but they certainly did not click. In fact, I received more comments from older MIT students than I did from prospective students and their parents. (And no "First!" comments... it was the Dark Ages.)
Ben realized that the admissions office needed to customize its own site to unleash the magic and bring blogging to the forefront. By junior year, we had created a spiffy website and I had gotten my friends Bryan and Sam jobs. (No kickbacks, though.)
I now live in foggy, hippie, fair-trade San Francisco. Fortunately it feels quite similar to Cambridge - especially with the pi-themed pizzeria. I just finished the incredible two year consulting program at Bain, and now I work for the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Gordon Moore is the co-founder of Intel (Moore's Law!! for all the Course 6ers out there) and he and his wife established this foundation to support the environment, science, and the Bay Area. I work as an investment associate, so I help invest the foundation's endowment (just like a university's) to fund all its excellent grant-making work.
It's funny how much MIT helped me identify my identity. Like I did back on Conner 2, I still wake up early to go running, and visit the library (1, 2, 3) bi-weekly. MIT's emphasis on using what one has learned to better the world certainly resonates with me, and I hope that all of my career and personal (I compost now!) choices continue to reflect this.
The best part of graduating and moving to California has been connecting with other recent alums, some of whom I did not know at MIT. We have a semi-shared set of experiences and friends (quantifiable on Facebook) so it makes it much easier to skip the niceties and jump straight to the nerdy pick-up lines. Thanks to all of the meaningful things that nearby alums are up to (e.g., finding breakthroughs in research, starting new companies, planning new transportation systems, making a mark in established firms, investing in new technologies and ideas), I am so proud to wear my brass rat. And I owe a final "bravo" to all 07s in other cities doing similarly amazing things -- can I crash with you when I visit?
P.S. In case you're as "detail-oriented" (see above) as I am, the answer is none. I don't remember any 18.06 at all.

Making & Using Tools
Vintage Tools
Learn How. Discover Why. Build Better. - Christopher Schwarz
D. L. Barrett & Sons Bridle
2008. Originally appeared in the
Fine Tool Journal
Meet the young and skilled hands behind a near-perfect tool.
This bridle plow – based on the famous Mathieson
was built by an
18-year-old student now studying tool and die making.
a number of tool collectors I know, I don't have a full-blown
plow-plane obsession. Ebony screw-arm plows with ivory tips and
silver fittings are beautiful and ingenious, but I've always thought
that their flashy details somehow diminish them because they make
them too nice to use. It's like a table saw with a solid gold top.
In my
work, I've always used metal-bodied plow planes, though they eject
shavings into your hands, are cold and seem heavier than their
wooden cousins. The overriding advantage of the metal plows,
however, is that their fences are easier to keep parallel to the
tool's skate than your typical wooden screw-arm plow plane.
As a
result, what I've always wanted is a wooden-bodied plow that has a
robust and easy-to-adjust fence. My search ended in February 2008
when I judged a toolmaking contest put on by the WoodCentral.com web
site and sponsored by Lee Valley Tools.
that contest, we judged more than 60 tools that had been brought
into Lee Valley's board room in Ottawa, Ontario. The moment I walked
into that room my eyes locked onto a beech-bodied plow plane with
ebony arms and a simple metal fence-locking mechanism.
The moulding on the fence is remarkably crisp, even as it returns
across the front. Here you also can see the boxwood lining and
two sliding dovetails that attach it.
When I
finally got to pick the tool up, I was impressed by how lightweight
it was and how the fence slid smoothly on its arms and locked with
the quick twist of a thumbscrew. The real test, however, came when I
started plowing grooves using a workbench that Lee Valley employees
had moved to the board room.
plow plane both glided over the work and removed a sizable shaving.
It was the easiest groove I'd ever cut by hand in maple. This was
quite surprising. Usually with tools as complex as a plow or a
moving fillister plane, there is a break-in period while the tool
and its user circle each other and neither performs at the top of
their game. This plow plane was different. It was like I'd been
using it all my life.
After a
couple days of discussion, we awarded that plane first place for
craftsmanship, and I resolved to track down its maker and ask that
person to build one for me.
When I
finally got in touch with him, I was shocked to find out that Kyle
Barrett was an 18-year-old high school student in Barrie, Ontario,
who had built the plane in his father's workshop. I was even more
shocked to learn that his prize-winning plane was only the second
handplane he'd ever made.
"I Enjoy Seeing How Things Work"
Kyle's toolmaking adventure began years ago in his father's shop.
Dan Barrett is a trained carpenter and cabinetmaker with more than
25 years experience in building and teaching. When Dan built the
family's living room chairs, Kyle was right there in the shop
watching the process and helping where he could. When Dan built some
shelves that looked like an airplane flying out of a wall, Kyle was
there as well.
"I thought it was really cool getting to see how things were made,"
Kyle says.
Then Kyle, who said he's always interested in trying new things,
took a shop class at high school. After learning about hand and
machine work in his father's shop, he said the next logical step was
to challenge himself by building a walnut grandfather clock. To make
the beading on the clock's ogee bracket feet, Kyle had to make a
simple handplane for the job.
"I really enjoyed that," Kyle says. So the pump was primed when he
happened upon an ad for a toolmaking contest in one of his dad's Lee
Valley flyers.
To enter the contest, he had to figure out what tool to build. As
Kyle was flipping through "Wooden Plow Planes" by Donald Rosebrook
and Dennis Fisher he spied the Hermon Chapin plow plane on page 98.
That Connecticut-made plane was very similar to the Scottish-made
Mathieson bridle plow, and Kyle locked onto that plane and resolved
to build a version of it for the contest.

I talked about dishcloths a bit on Friday, and thought that today I'd show off one of my favorite things you can do with them: knit fandom-related motifs and know that they will still get used! If I send someone a fannish accessory, item of clothing, or piece of jewelry, there's no way to know if they will actually wear it. For example, even though I love Doctor Who, I wouldn't wear 90% of the Who shirts that pop up on the daily tee websites. They are cute, and I chuckle, but they're not my style. But will I use a Who dishcloth? Absolutely! They are great for including in swap packages, too, as a fun little extra handmade. Here are some that I made last year for two different packages as part of the Odd Ducks Doctor Who swap on Ravelry.
Don't Blink
because the
Weeping Angels
have the
Phone Box!
Those all went into one box, because the phrases went together nicely (a reference to the episode Blink), and then another box got just a Weeping Angel because the recipient is a big fan:
Aren't they fun?
One of my favorite fannish dishcloth designers is holynarf on Ravelry. Her designs are mostly Doctor Who, but there are some Firefly and general geeky designs as well, and they are all free patterns, which is excellent!

Fan-tastic Dishcloths

How have I missed these? I don't know that I could bear to dirty a Who-cloth but.... BUT... I do foresee a fantastic long scarf knit up using the various washcloth designs. :DReplyDeleteReplies
Ooh a scarf made out of washcloth designs would be awesome! I say go for it!Delete
Also, I am really picky about what I will use my "fancy" dishcloths for, especially ones that have been gifted to me. I almost always use them as face washcloths, and never with any kind of soap that will discolor or stain the fabric. But I do try to use them, because I figure that's what the person who gifted them to me intended!

Almost a year gone
When I was young, it seemed to take forever to get from christmas eve to christmas day. I would try and get to sleep just as fast as I could but it never worked. I would try and put my head under the pillow I even tried the hot milk idea but still nothing. I couldn't seem to drift off and after a while I would get fed up of trying and just fall asleep lol.
I would always get woken up on christmas day by my mother. and she would shout at the top of her voice "Wayne get up farther christmas has been". and I would look at the clock only to find out that if I had stayed up just ten more minutes it would have been christmas, well a seven aclock in the morning christmas.
Anyway now that I'm older it all seems to go by in a flash. last christmas seems just ten minutes ago and I'm sure that it will only be ten minutes before I am putting up the tree agian.
I guess I just can't belive how fast it's all gone by and it's already almost another year gone

Urgent Prayer Request
Monday, 29 December 2008
Not me! Monday
Hi every one who reads my blog
I can't belive it's already Monday again
where on earth does the time go?
Not me Monday was first introduced to me by
my beautiful Jenn and I have tried it for a few weeks
now with great results so here is this weeks not me! monday
I did not wait up half the night to see if santa would come to the house
Im past all that santa and the raindeer stuff.
There is no way ever that I managed to eat my way through a entire
box of Heroes chocolates that would just be greedy right.
There is no way I droped a can of Pepsi all over the sofa I was sat on
and got my tousers soaked, then left them next to the washing machine
for my mom to take care of that would just be lazy of me.
And I did not tell a kid at work that I was the real Batman
and the guy in the poster was a imposter how childish would that be.
It wasn't me that went to the work party and had 8 mince pies
when the boss had made two per person I would be so ashamed of my self
especialy if the boss waited till after I had eaten that many to tell me
that there was only two per person.
So there is my not me monday confession I hope you all liked it.

Not me! Monday
Welcome to another not me monday
After the succsess of my last not me Monday
I thought I would give it a try this week aswell.
My beautiful Jenn first introduced me to not me monday.
and this week my friend Morgan is going to give it a try
so please check out there blogs
Ok so without further a doo
here is my not me Monday.
It was not me that left the sofa in a mess and told my mom that it must have been the cats that messed it up in the night.
and It wasn't me that again drunk all the milk and then said I used it for some cornflakes.
and I would never tell mom that she is going grey she nearly.... I mean she would hit me with her walking stick if I ever told her that.
And I didn't even go anywhere near the cream cheeze again and take a huge dollop out of it using my finger it's my moms and I would never take her creamy yummi philladelphia cheese.
It wasn't me that said I would read a book by today and havn't even started on the first page yet.
And I just know for a fact that I wouldn't encourage the cats to eat walkers crisp and then watch them all stare at my mother as she looks at them in horror hiding her packet of crisps behind her back
See I told you I have been good this week.
thankyou so much for reading my not me monday.

Little kid gangsters
He had one hand in his pants and he was walking with a limp. Why do they walk with a limp I just don't get that does it make them look like a hard man or somthing? So anyway he walked up to the counter and I said to him " Hi do you need any help?" he just kinda looked at me.
Then his friend said that his dad owned blockbuster which straight away I knew was a lie because the guy who owns block buster lives somwhere in the states. About ten minutes go by and the gangster wonna be's are still in the store and so I say to them " are you guys buying anything? Then they say they are so I give them some more time to look around.
After another ten minutes of them just hanging around the counter I notice them messing with all the candy. They are laughing and it's now certain that they are just in the store to mess around. So I politely ask them to leave the store.
Well anyone would think I had insulted them They started saying "My dad Will come in and beat you up and he will get you fired". So I say to him "well bring your dad in then and I will tell him how rude you have been". Then the little one starts saying things like I'll beat you silly.
So that is when I say "ok out now " and they keep saying really rude things wich I wont mention on this blog. So after about ten minutes of being hurled abuse at by two little kids who think they are gangsters. They finally left the store and didn't come back.
It made me wonder what the world is coming to. It just seems that some kids think they can get away with anything. Please don't get me wrong I love kids I have three beautiful nieces who I adore I get along with most people in the world and I believe you should always respect people and treat them as you would like to be treated.

Do Aliens exsist?
Do Aliens actually exsist?
And if they do what do they look like, where do they come from, and just what do they want?
If you turn on the tv, chances are on one of the 700 channels that we have now there will be a show about the little green men.
Now there are all kinds of ideas going around about these guys and not to mention the sightings that have been reported countless times of wierd shapes flying through the air and then there was the crap whoops! sorry crop circles wich I didn't really believe.
But I do think that they could exsist, I'm one of those people who thinks that it would be ignorant of me to think that in a universe as big as this that we are the only ones here. In fact that in itself is a good point-- we are here. So if we exist then surely others do. In fact I do have a theory of my own.
It is said that we evolved from apes right? And it took so many millions of years, so what if a few millon years down the road we evolved again. Of course technology advanced as well even to the point of time travel and years from now when our great great great great great whatever they are's go to some kind of school who is to say that as part of their history lessons they will actually go back through time to where we are now to study our present day, their history as part of their lesson.
So they could be us a few thousand or even million years from now. I'm not saying I am right but it's an interesting theory.
Does anyone out there have any other theories?

Not Me! Monday
Here it is-- my attempt at not me monday. My beautiful Jenn has done this before and as far as I can tell the aim of the game is to say what you have done but deny it kinda thing like a confession or none confession kinda thing... well read and I'm sure you will pick it up as you go so here it is my Not Me! Monday.
Ok so I have to say that the week just gone I have been sooooo good and innocent. I mean there is no way on earth it was me that dipped my finger in to my mothers Philadelphia cream cheese and ate it then denied the whole thing when my mother asked who had done it
And not to mention the fact that the pots where left till the morning when my mother woke up.I deny all charges on that one I would never have left dirty pots till the morning would I.
I would never throw a bag of popcorn across the store to the point where it broke open and I had to vacume it all I mean what kind of a person do you take me for.
There is no way on this green earth that I would ever take a glass of milk to my room when mothers last words were don't touch the milk that would just be the ultimate sin of sins.
It's one year today
Yep, it's a year that me and my beautiful Jenn have been together and I am so happy.
I think it's so amazing that I got lucky enough to find such a beautiful and wonderful woman.
She is everything I ever could have hoped for and to me she is perfect in every way and I love her more than life. I love her more than anything, and to me she is everything. She makes me feel so alive and at peace. I feel like I can do anything when I am with her. She is my life and I would do anything for her.
So this one is for My beautiful Jenn.

I just don't get it
Every day things that make no sense to me things that you could also class as stupid or things that are just plain dumb in short things that I don't understand so here goes.
1.) Why do they make cars that go at 100mph and over if the max speed limit is about 65mph?
2.) When there is a boxing match why do they say that they are in a boxing ring when its actually a square?.
3.) Why do profesional football players get paid thousands of pounds/dollars for having fun for a few hours while the man who goes and workes hard at a factory all day just to feed his family get paid about 25 dollars a day?.
4.) Why can a superstar singer admit to taking drugs and be let off completely without punishment while a regular Joe gets locked up for years for the same thing?.
5.) Why do I never notice I'm out of toilet paper till after I'm finished?.
6.) Why does James Bond always have the right tools for the job?.
7.) Why do they always sell Hotdogs in cans of 6 but always sell the Buns in packs of 8?.
8.)Why do they spend so much money on exploring the outerlimits of space when there are people starving on earth?.
9.) How can someone say they are the best in the world until they have beaten every sinlgle person in the world?.
10.) Why do they call them a pair of trousers if it is classed as one item?
So there are just a few of the things in life I just don't get. So If any of you who read my blogs can give any kind of answer to any of my questions then please leave the answers in your comments or just leave a comment thanks.

Myths and legends true or false ?
There must be alteast Three or four different versions of the legend of one of Englands greatest kings if he even existed at all the Great King Arthur.
Legend has it that the king ruled the country for many years roughly around the early 6th century and was rumored to have held off the Anglo-Saxon invasion attempts with his Knights of the round table for many years until his death.
Legend also has it that the King was a great fighter he and his Knights fought twelve battles in total and legend tells that in the battle of Mons Badonicus King Arthur single handedly killed 960 men. Both he and his Knights have been portrayed in countless films and books as Been some mighty warrior in Shining armour with a magical sword and a mighty magician Merlin as a advisor.
The true King Arthur was actualy a Roman soldier who had been sent to England to one of Romes outposts at a time when the Anglo-saxon armys in vast numbers were repeatedly attempting to over run England. Arthur and a group of roman soldiers stayed and held there ground against the vast army's of the Saxons so I'm not exactly sure how he got the title of king. Maybe it was bestowed on him by the locals of the time however legend says he was announced as king after defeting the Anglo-Saxons army.
Finally legend says that he was killed in the battle of Camlann so after many years he died has he had lived a great worrior king and the last f the kings to actually engage in single combat.
The main problem with this one seems to be that when he did die all the proof that he exisited died with him it seems that the kingdom of Camalot or even his Roman outpost just dissapeard without trace. the magical sword Excalibur sword of kings gone, no armour, no crown, nothing to say he was actually here. Even his great Knights not a single piece of eveidence to support their existance either.
But however there is thisThis is a monument somwhere in Wales England that actually mentions King Arthur so it would appear that for the first time in my investagations there is some evidence to back a legend aparrently this monument was written in 1275 but that is 6 centuries after king Arthur or atleast my source but however there are other historians who would say that king Arthur was actually around in the tenth cetury so even with the above evidence it sounds like they can't even agree on when he was around either that or he lived a long long time.
So my idea of this one is that yes King Arthur did exist at some point in history and was beyond doubt a great warrior but however I dont belive he was a Knight in shining armour Maybe more just a Roman soldier who was a great leader of men and as for Excalibour maybe it was just a brand of sword like the Samuri but the Excalibour version never took off so it was a one of a kind.
So as for the legend of King Arthur actually existing my answer is yes he did.
but as for the sword, Camalot, and all the magic I say that part of the legend is busted.
If you have any ideas or arguments on my myth and legends then please leave me a comment
Next weeks legend is Robin Rood

I am sixty years old. When confronting my age I realize that the older I get the more vulnerable I am to sickness and injury. I know that as we age we slowly lose physical strength and ability. It is hard not to get depressed about this. The prospect of eventually losing control over more areas of our lives and becoming increasingly dependent on others is not a happy one.
On the other hand ageing can be a deeply satisfying experience, if we are less likely to be under pressure from a job, or under the stress of raising children. In that case,we can relax, sit back and see everything from the perspective of time and experience, and if they are receptive, we can pass on some of our knowledge to the next generation.
But what about our civilization? In the past, all civilizations grew old and died, just as individual people did. So what age do we perceive our present civilization to be? Are we immortal, forever growing bigger and more complex, as most Economists seem to think, or have we reached a peak and are we starting our energy descent now, as many Permaculturists and Peak Oil types believe?
How old is Capitalism and what is its state of health at present? The present day Capitalist system had its roots about three hundred years ago in eighteenth century Netherlands and England.
Let's imagine that a civilization is like an individual, it is born, grows up, matures and then dies. I find it useful to use developmental psychologist Erik Erikson's stages of life: trust versus mistrust in infancy; Industry versus Inferiority in elementary school years; (I skipped a few stages here) - Intimacy vs Isolation during the twenties and thirties, Generativity versus Stagnation for the 40's to 60's and finally - Integrity versus Despair for the last years of life. So, what stage is our Capitalist civilization in? My guess is the last stage.
The last stage is the one that interests me because my parents are elderly and fragile and because I work with people of that same generation in a nursing home. Integrity versus Despair - Do we deal with ageing gracefully or do we rage against the dying of the light? Do we feel it all was worth it or are we filled with bitterness and the urge for self-destruction?
We've done the generativity vs stagnation stage. We did not stagnate. We out-produced the combined output of every other civilization in history many times over. We can be very proud of ourselves. But, now comes a reckoning time.
The older you get the harder it is to take in food and process it. It is the extraction of chemical energy from food that is the basis for our ability to do physical work. Ageing has to do with declining access to energy.
The elderly are physically weaker, with weaker muscles, circulation, digestive systems, and immune systems.
All previous civilizations were agricultural and were fuelled by the domestication of plants and animals. That all changed with the advent of Capitalism and Industrialism. For two hundred and fifty years our Industrial civilization has run on the energy from fossil fuels. Now we are reaching the stage where access to fossil fuels is becoming constrained by natural and economic limits.
The fact that we are now drilling more and more holes in deeper and more dangerous places and requiring more energy to extract the fossil fuels indicates that we've run out of the cheap stuff. There's still oil, but it takes more energy to get it, and at some point it won't be economically feasible to extract it anymore. This will inevitably lead to global economic contraction because access to energy is the basis for all of the physical output of the economy.
Our civilization is like a stroke victim. When you have a stroke it affects your coordination and often taking in food becomes more of a problem. Food has to be pre-chewed or pureed. In effect, more external energy has to be applied to make the food digestible. It takes more energy to get the energy. Just like fracking and digging up the tar sands.
In Nature the process of taking more energy to obtain energy can quickly exhaust itself, leading to decline and death, and it is no different in civilizations.
Sorry for the bad news. Now here's the good news: remember Integrity versus Despair, Erik Erikson's last stage of development? Here's the Integrity side: We can think about and relate what is happening now to our understanding of history. Instead of despair, we can build on our sense of integrity.
In the past, when one civilization died another replaced it after a few hundred years. We don't know what will happen when a global civilization kicks the dust because it has never happened before, but the effects could be much more encompassing and destructive.
To keep on fracking and digging up the tar sands as energy costs skyrocket is like giving someone at the end-stage of life aggressive and expensive life-support, while outside the Intensive Care Unit, babies and children are dying of starvation.
The point is, when the economy stops growing economic competition becomes more of a zero sum game. We cannot continue to let the few benefit at the expense of the many. The key to our continued survival is in stopping and reversing the current trend towards greater inequality. It's going to be more inclusive and representative political institutions that will be the best chance of saving civilization.

yum or ick. your call.
So, I'm not quite on vacation yet. I'm not in New York and I'm not where I'm supposed to be right now (Santa Fe). I'm sitting in the Albuquerque airport waiting for a shuttle to take me to Santa Fe. I was supposed to be there several hours ago but am a complete idiot and slept through my flight!!!! I had a 7:30am flight out of New York thinking I would have no problem getting up-I love early flights and am always popping right out of bed when I need to. Not this morning…I woke up at 6:45 and there was no way I was going to make it. After lots of tears and LOTS of swearing and me screaming irrational crap to the Continental rep, I made it, but I'm not quite there. I'm on my way to Santa Fe and Taos for a week with my family celebrating my Dad's 60th birthday (happy birthday!), and we were all supposed to be on the same connecting flight from Houston to Albuquerque, but I obviously didn't make it. And while my family is currently enjoying margaritas in Santa Fe, I'm passing time in the Albuquerque airport by blogging (good job Albuquerque airport on having free wireless!). Ugh. What a way to mess up a family trip Betsy!
I have a about 25 minutes till I need to meet my shuttle to I'll pump out my new crazy market veg post of the week! Fiddlehead ferns. I feel like I was on a tricycle last week with my sunchoke and went to compete in the Tour de France with the fiddleheads. But, I saw a jar of them sitting at a stand last week and just knew I had to try them. They were crazy cheap and only available for a very short time so my window was closing. I bought about $.20 worth (about 8 ferns) and went on my way.
Fiddlehead ferns are very young ferns that haven't opened yet. When a fern emerges from the ground, it is coiled tightly and slowly uncurls to develop lots of leaves (yeah-I took a lot of botany classes in college). It's at this early stage that they are edible and quite popular. At least they're popular in the crazy native food eating circle. Actually, I've eaten them before but have never considered buying them so it was still adventurous. I cooked some up once at camp when I was a counselor. I actually think we fried them in about 1/2 inch of oil. Talk about turning something healthy into something unhealthy! But they were darn tasty. So, I was off to try them again.
I did my research all week to find out how best to cook them and just decided to make them plain, kinda like I did with the sunchoke. I did read that they need to be cooked entirely or they can cause stomach pain. Being the slightly paranoid cook, that freaked me out a little so I cooked them twice. I first cleaned them very well and trimmed off the brown bits. I then boiled them for about 4 minutes to kill any possibility of causing my stomach to be angry. I followed that with a quick saute in a tiny bit of olive oil along with salt and pepper. And went on to eat them. Truthfully, I was nervous. After reading about toxins and pain and this and that, I was freaked. But, then I remembered that yeah, I'd eaten them before and had lived to tell about it, so I dug in. I was expecting the flavor to be kinda a generic grassy green flavor. But, it was definitely distinctive. Kinda green beany. Kinda asparagusy. But definitely distinctive. I actually ate them really fast! They were pretty tasty just popping them into my mouth. And no stomach pain. Would I buy them again? Maybe, if they were really cheap again and I found some great recipe to use them in.
Sorry this post is kinda uninteresting. I don't have time to make it funny or witty. And also I'm pretty physically and emotionally exhausted from this crazy day. Booo early flights and alarm clocks. Yay fiddleheads and Santa Fe!!
Oh, I got tagged by lots of people this week!!! I'm going to get on that soon…although that might not happen till next week.
So, I'm off till next Sunday. I might post a little mid-week "hi" but don't hold your breath. Cause then you might stop breathing.

Have you ever been accused by a conservative as being humorless and overly-serious? I know I have. While I'm no comic genius, I feel that I have a healthy sense of humor. After a few drinks, I'll loosen up to the point where I could get on stage. I get a joke when it's being told, and I laugh when it's funny. I can tell if somebody is yankin' my chain, and I yank back. But, I've noticed that the jokes that most conservatives tell are just not funny. Their "jokes" are mostly crafted as jabs or insults. They lack the basic foundations of joke telling.
I couldn't put my finger on what conservatives were missing. Why couldn't they tell a good joke? I was reading Fables of the Reconstruction this morning, and it hit me—their inability to be funny may be tied to their inability to empathize:
The key to successful humor, after all, is to be able to see things from other people's perspectives – a liberal trait that conservatives deride variously as "relativism" or "objectively pro-terrorist". So conservatives may have a genetic makeup that makes them less able to appreciate what's funny, and consequently take themselves very seriously and see the world as a dour, threatening place, with all these other people having a good time and laughing – sometimes at them. This explains a lot, I think, and deserves further research.
Interesting. The most hilarious comedians have the ability to combine real life, irony, absurdity, and exaggeration into a well woven story. Their joke crafting skills are so acute because they are able to see life from the eyes of another.
Later in the morning, I read another story from TBogg, and I began to think that perhaps conservatives are just sexually deprived or inadequate?
And because Conservative men know that everyone is having more and better sex than they have ever had or will have because woman don't find them attractive unless they have a million dollar radio deal and an endless supply of Hillbilly heroin to help deaden the humiliation of being humped for forty seconds by a huffing sweaty butt pustule, well, they start to lose their comedic edge.And when they find out that their sense of humor is deader than Bob Dole's dick, they start invading countries instead of invading those sweet marshy swamplands to the south, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.
If you're liberal.
You know, there's probably some truth to this. Conservatives fixate on controlling women, having large guns, asserting their authority, war, and driving large, fast vehicles.
It's strange that conservatives seem to have one or more of the following issues:
- they have magnified social phobias
- they fear foreigners
- they have never travelled too far from home
- they have sexual hangups
- they lack self-esteem
- they lack education
When you have too many of these things going on at one time, you lose your ability to empathize with others. Why? Perhaps it's because you are so caught up in your own world that you cannot possibly imagine life from the perspective of others? Don't ask me, I'm not a psychologist.
I know that there are conservative comedians out there, but as I go through the list of my favorites, I can't think of one that could be defined as a true conservative. Can you?


text: NFL Will Let Vick Play Again By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Jul 23, 2009 7:54 PM CDT 30 comments Comments Former Atlanta Falcon quarterback Michael Vick, left, arrives at federal court with attorney Larry Woodward in Norfolk, Va., July 20.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell met with the newly free quarterback today and settled on a conditional reinstatement, sources say. Vick will be allowed to sign with a team—so far, none have said they want him—but will be suspended four games once the season starts. During their meeting, Vick reportedly offered a personal apology to Goodell for lying about his role in a dogfighting ring. The news comes just in time: NFL training camps open next week.

Another Winning video
I recently found out that a video I produced with some of my students won the National Middle School Association Innovate. Create. Inspire. student video contest. The students were extremely happy to win because we have tweaked and entered this video into several contests. We got a flip vid and an I-Station license for our efforts along with awards for the major performers. There is more award news coming but I can't talk about it right now!

Album Review: The Screaming Jets – Noise Collection
Album Review: The Screaming Jets – Noise Collection
Reviewer: Brad Worsman – Ok, let's get this out the way before we delve into this fine EP of Aussie garage rock. The Australian rock culture as we perceive it today is arguably on the ignored end of the spectrum as oppose to…let's just say the more obtainable and safe music dominating the radio. Its popularity is amongst the minority and unfortunately, it's quiet spot at the back of the classroom seems like it will continue to be so. With that being said, for any hard rock band to still be releasing fantastic albums for well over 2 decades, considering its genre and where it lies amongst present music popularity is a considerable achievement, and definitely deserves a well-earned dollop of respect. No fault of the bands but radio is cluttered with the safe, bland sameness. The Screaming Jets are every bit deserving of being recognised as Australian music legends. They are still around pumping out hard, classic, raw Australian rock which continues to appease and wow the crowds. They have remained faithful to the genre for over twenty years and they don't seem to be slowing down. The Screaming Jet's latest album, Chrome was a hard-rock kick to the guts, in a good way. It's foundation in rawness, grit and intensity made Chrome The Screaming Jet's most bare boned and classic record to date. It's follow-up live EP, Noise Collection is just what Chrome was; not only a kick to the guts, but to your head as well.
Noise Collection opens with the angry and purely raw "Automatic Cowboy" which captures your interest right from that fantastic opening riff. The guitar tone in this track is unique to say the least. It's husky and broken-up sound fills the song with life, pushing the song forward till the very end when you can finally take a breath. The track breathes a hint at artists such as Royal Blood, simply due to its anger featured within its tone. Despite this, it is immensely impressive. "Shine On" (being the 2nd track) features a very old school 70's rock vibe ("School's Out" anyone?) alongside some incredible guitar layering that pretty much steals the show. Actually, scratch that. This entire EP is stolen by the endlessly flawless guitar work. It really is excellent.
The third track in the set list, "Razor", probably houses some of the best harmonies and syncopation of the entire EP. It's subtle verses which feature very restricted drumming, guitar work and vocals slowly fuel the impending choruses and instrumentals which really do pack a punch. Along with its drawn-out instrumentals which (unsurprisingly) feature yet more amazing guitar work and amusing lyrics about Donald Trump, the track simply holds the "less is more" virtue in the highest regard. In fact, the succeeding tracks "Cash In Your Ticket" and "Folsom Prison Blues" manage to retain this virtue with incredible musical ingenuity. "Cash In Your Ticket" is a special case in which less is most definitely shown to be more. The simplicity of the lyrics, chord progression, guitar solo and drumming all scream originality into your face as you struggle to understand how such simplicity could sound so elegant. The closing number of the EP, "Folsom Prison Blues" is a harder take on the Johnny Cash classic with yes, more guitar solos and exuberant vocals which is a satisfying number with just enough kick to get you pumped to listen to more. However, that is when the realisation unfortunately hits that there are no songs left to enjoy. On the other hand, it is a crafty technique to convince you to get along to a live show which on face of it, wouldn't be a bad idea after experiencing such an astounding collection of noise (pardon the pun).
Noise Collection's ability to stir your heart and entice you to pump your fists high into the air is only one of many reasons that this live EP is so excellent. The layers every single member brings to the grand sound never goes unnoticed, and overall makes for an experience that simply has to be seen and heard to be believed. It seems that The Screaming Jet's will continue to entertain the rock community of Australia for plenty of years to come, and that is frankly a fact worth celebrating.

Everyone has been working so hard creating and buying beautiful Holiday goods for our Open House this weekend. Today was the first day of the sale, and it was a great one. Busy all day, things were just flying out the door. Just wanted to show some of the wonderful displays that the girls have been creating.
Our customers can't get enough of our vintage ornaments.
There is a small tin porriger from France. How cute is that?
The girls are bringing in vintage and new holiday decor and gifts everyday. I hope to keep everyone up to date with what is coming in. Enjoy!!!

I should start counting out how many times I get sick a school year. Sorry this is probably going to be very short. First picture is from my sketch-book. It going along with this awesome artist called Mattias. His work is just mind blowing for me and I wish I able to have as much dedication as he does.
Can you guess what I'm painting?
Till next time!

Last night featured some impressive shooting streaks, one in a college NIT game and the others in an NBA game.
In the NIT, Georgia senior Levi Stukes hit 8-of-9 on three-point attempts, as his team defeated Fresno State. The logic of how we could analyze Stukes's performance is identical to that I followed for Florida's Lee Humphrey earlier in the season. In this instance, I'll just present an abridged version for Stukes.
As should be familiar to regular visitors to this site, we need to start with a player's prior (i.e., baseline) probability of success at the given task, before the streaky performance in question. For three-point shooting, I think we can safely assign Stukes a prior probability of .400. As seen in his career statistics, other than his sophomore year when he shot .305, his other seasonal percentages from behind the arc range from .377-.415.
We then go to the trusty binomial calculator, and ask what the probability is of a long-term .400 three-point shooter hitting eight (or more) out of nine. The answer is .0038, around 4-in-1,000.
Last night's other hot shooting occurred in the showdown of the NBA's two best teams, the Phoenix Suns visiting the Dallas Mavericks. In this double-overtime thriller, won by the Suns 129-127, the torrid performances were as follows:
*Phoenix's Amare Stoudemire shot 16-of-19 from the floor.
*Dallas got some exceptional three-point shooting from Jerry Stackhouse (5-6) and Jason Terry (5-7). See the box score.
*The above-linked game article alluded to:
...the Mavs turn[ing] what had been a 16-point deficit into a 15-point lead going into the fourth quarter.
Phoenix rall[ying] by opening the fourth by making eight straight shots and 10-of-12.
And now we have NCAA tournament action starting!

|Crossing Wyoming in our Rav, grateful for the 4-wheel drive
Leaving Indiana was hard, emotionally. We have made so many friends there, and we left part of our hearts with the congregations in Terre Haute and Crawfordsville, with our Addiction Recovery group, and with the men to whom we ministered at the penitentiary. Ann and I are better for having had such grand opportunities to serve and be served.
|Our Last Temple Trip to Indianapolis
We have had cause to reflect on our missionary service, to what end we were called. Of course our specific responsibility was to preserve records. And we did! We captured 872,767 images that will eventually be online for the whole world to view. The digitized documents are now safely tucked away with 3.5 billion other records in the granite vaults built into the foothills east of Salt Lake City. Our images document the lives of 10,272 unique individuals who died in Vigo and Montgomery counties.
|The Last Click--#872,767
The younger missionaries spend their days inviting folks to come closer to Christ by accepting the message of the restored Gospel. I have come to appreciate that we have ministered in exactly that same way, opening up the way for thousands of our departed brothers and sisters to make the same covenants in preparation for their eternal exaltation.
|Closing up shop, praying that the Lord will send another couple soon.
That exaltation hinges, though, on their descendants doing the research to find our images and the other vital records necessary for the saving ordinances to be performed in their behalf. I can now better understand the meaning of Malachi 4:6 "And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers."
|Stuffing the Rav to the roof--a miracle that we got in as much as we did.
|Some of our stuff we couldn't stuff--It will find a home with other missionaries.
We had many experiences in our little warehouse closet of receiving guidance from unseen sources--spiritual promptings that facilitated our effectively capturing the images and correctly identifying them. I don't doubt that the same spirit will "turn" the hearts of the descendants of our 10,000 "contacts," leading them to the images. What a bond of love that will make between generations!
|A Warm (in spirit) Welcome Home
Now that we are home we plan on cementing those same kind of bonds between us and our posterity. As I've prayed to know where I can find joy and fulfillment in life, it has been impressed upon my mind that joy will come to me as I "turn my heart" in both directions. Hence, we'll be devoting time to our families and grandchildren, and to our own family history research and the associated temple ordinance work.
|A gathering of the family to hear us "report" our experiences.
|And more family gatherings over the holidays--a half-dozen parties :)
We have hobbies we intend on pursuing. Ann has found that she likes photography. I'm looking forward to more painting. We both want to read more. She's been practicing the piano, and I am eager to get back to organ playing. I'll cook, she'll embroider. We'll find friends for games, movies, dinners, and hopefully some deeper emotional relationships. I've already got some early-morning running buddies, and Ann's connecting for lunch dates with friends.
|Carols with some great-nephews. I'll keep up my horn playing.
Above all, though, we know that the fullness of joy is only found in continued consecration to the Kingdom of God. We were set apart today as Primary teachers (4-year olds) and in music--Ann as a ward organist and me as music chairman. The first choir practice is next week at our home. So life goes on, and there will always be a corner of the Lord's Vineyard where He needs us to labor. Like we wrote two years ago in our application for missionary work, "We'll go where you want us to go."
|Our first visit to the "new" Ogden Temple
Many of the pixels that make up the big picture of our life are the ones that you have contributed, and we'll enjoy focusing in from time to time on each one of them.
