I saw a video about how to eat some wings. Its pretty good but the desctiption is weird.
The description on the page goes:
Did you know there's a trick to eating chicken wings? The drummette part is easy; just grab the "handle" and eat the meat. But in this video, you'll learn how to eat the flat portion of the chicken wing—the piece that has two bones. Chef John shows you a simple technique to remove the cartilage and quickly slip the bones free from the flat pieces of cooked chicken wings, leaving the meat in one solid piece—a perfectly boned chicken-wing! Learn this amazing trick, and you'll wow your chicken wing-loving friends.
I think eating wings it about just the most easy thing there is to eat. Who needs to be told how to eat a wing. Still I think anyone who makes a wing video should be thanked and the next wing I eat is dedicated to Cheg John.

Adjustable RGB LED Color Cube
I took a sculpture class during my last semester at Penn State so I could meet the required number of credits to graduate. One of the last projects in that class was to create an interactive art installation. I went through a few ideas in my head and doodled them in the Paper app for iPad. You can view the PDF of my ideas here. After I had a good idea of what my design would be, I ordered the parts I did not have on hand from Amazon and eBay. I ordered an Arduino Mega clone, the SainSmart MEGA 2560 Board for Arduino, some Common Cathode RGB LEDs, and some slide potentiometers. I also made a trip to the local hardware store for materials for the overall structure. Before the break is a video explaining the operation of the final project. After the break, I'll explain how I created the three main pieces to this project - the electronics, the code on the Arduino that controls everything, and the casing for both the base and the controller.

The first day I saw them I just sat and stared. I was waiting at a light and they were walking through section of road that is under construction. The kids were listening intently to something their mother was saying. Then came the smiles. I tell you - each day I see them it is the same scenario! And it warms my heart. I look forward to seeing them each day. I sometimes have the urge to pull over and give her a hug.
This is how I feel about my blogging friends!
I can't wait to read your posts. I love hearing of the fun and exciting things in your lives. I laugh when you share embarrassing stories and funny events. I hurt for you when you are hurting or experiencing hardships.
Each one of you brings something to my life. I love all of you and your blogs for so many reasons. You inspire me. You make me laugh. Really laugh! You make me stop and think about the important things in life. You've even made me cry.
So, if your name is on my sidebar, you inspire me. You make me want to be better.
Thank you!
So, gather 'round everyone for a great big group hug - redhoodoo style!

The family of Trayvon Martin is renewing its call for the arrest of George Zimmerman, the man who killed the teen in what he called an act of self-defense, after listening to 911 calls related to the teen's death last month.
The family arrived at Sanford City Hall Friday evening to hear the tapes. They were expected to speak afterward, but the family's attorneys say the parents were so overcome with grief after what they heard on the tapes, they could not speak.
"It is shocking when you hear these 911 tapes," said attorney Ben Crump. "It was far worse than they thought it was going to be."
Zimmerman is a neighborhood watch volunteer who was on patrol when he encountered Trayvon. Zimmerman admitted to the shooting.
The attorney says in at least one 911 call two shots are heard -- a shot is heard, and then a cry for help, and then a second, louder shot is heard, then the cries stop. Attorney Natalie Jackson says it is clear that Zimmerman fired a warning shot, then a kill shot.
"This is an insult to this family," Jackson said. "This was not self-defense, this was not manslaughter, this was murder."
The family's attorneys say the family no longer trusts the Sanford Police, and want the US Justice Department to take over the case.
This meeting is happening on the same day Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee met with Congresswoman Corrine Brown, D-Jacksonville, and Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett Friday. They said Lee told them he welcomed a federal investigation by the U.S. attorney general and US Dept. of Justice.
"I at this point don't trust and I need an independent," Brown said. "I feel that the United States Justice Department is independent because I think some things should have been done, didn't happen. So we need to make sure it happens."
Three witnesses, including two women, have come forward, claiming they witnessed the deadly shooting.
Mary Cutcher and her roommate said they heard the 17-year-old crying and pleading for his life.
Then, they said they heard the gunshot that killed him. Cutcher and her roommate said they rushed outside to see Zimmerman standing over Trayvon's body.
Standing with the teen's family and their attorneys Friday morning, the two witnesses said they believe Zimmerman murdered the boy, and believe police have not done enough in their investigation.
Sanford police, however, said Cutcher told a different story to the media than what she told them.
In a statement released Thursday, Sanford police public information officer Sgt. David Morgenstern said:
"According to investigators notes she was called on February 29th, March 1st, and on March 2nd when she and her roommate finally came in to be interviewed. The information she provided in her sworn statements regarding the actions of Zimmerman were consistent with the information Zimmerman provided."
"I have no reason to lie," said Cutcher. "I don't know this family. I'm only trying to help, and I think that they are trying to cover up something -- that they made a mistake -- and honestly, I feel like their taking the light off of them and trying to discredit my statements."
"Just to know that regardless of what happens, there's still good people in this world," said Trayvon's mother, Sybria Fulton, regarding Cutcher. "I'm so very hurt by this whole situation. It's a nightmare, and I don't understand why this man has not been arrested, at least charged, and let a judge and a jury decide if he's guilty."
Trayvon's parents said their son was unarmed when Zimmerman confronted him, because he thought the teen was suspicious. They said Trayvon was returning to a relative's home from the store with a bag of Skittles.
As of noon Friday, more than 240,000 people have signed a petition calling for Zimmerman's arrest.
The State Attorney's Office is reviewing the case.

INGRON HUTLÖS-necrophilian hits 7" (1984)
1.Hur mår du, barn av idag
2.Kåt nekrofil
5.The government song
This is some pretty under the radar Swedish "thrash"(as it used to be called back then). These days, listening back to Ingron Hutlös I wouldn't classify them as thrash at all. Two of the songs have that typical Discharge d beat thing going strong, while the other tunes are more mid paced. If you knew nothing about the band you might actually think they were Japanese upon first listen. The vocals are wicked cool, with lots of different shit going on there(effect wise). When I first heard these guys I loved the fact that you couldn't understand much of what they were screaming. Only one song is sung in English(gov song). Whats crazy to me is the art work used for the record cover...it was 1984, I mean this was pretty fucking shocking for the time period.
I picked this up a few years ago at Wfmu record show for like $6.00. I had only ever seen one other copy that my buddy Louis Jacobs had. He is the one that turned me onto this gem. Louis worked at a pizza hut as a delivery guy, and had some scam where he was making insane money, and using it to buy rare Japanese and Swedish records. This was in around 1989. As I've stated in my other uploads Louis was way ahead of his time, and was onto this shit 15 years before everyone else. Dude turned me onto so much fast stuff, and just straight up gave me rare records when he finally got out of it in the 90's. Song 1 & 2 are together on this rip as there was nothing to separate the songs(no silence between tunes). Enjoy.

I'm with Andrew. Thank you Nate, I also read, and follow your blog(for at least a month now). I've seen the light, and love the metal that you post, as well as the hardcore stuff.ReplyDelete
This record cover is funny. I guess it was supposed to offend people. I'm a girl(probably one of the few that reads this blog), and it did not offend me.
thank you!! Keep it up
Thanks for the comments guys(and gals). Glad you are digging the blog, and following along.ReplyDelete

I seem to recall a story about a bunch of these being seized by U.S. customs because of the cover.ReplyDelete

Who in the USA would distro records like this back then?ReplyDelete
Any pressing info on this thing? Ive heard of it, but never saw the record.
thnx again

I think it was Pushead that had the customs trouble. There were lots of great distros in the 80s that carried foreign HC like Subterranean, Raunch, Toxic Shock, Forefront, Hardway, etc.ReplyDelete
- FrancoMay 1, 2009 at 8:25 AM
amazing stories. I never knew that America had these types of customs issues.ReplyDelete
thank you for posting this classic ep.
I can't recall to many customs issues like this either. Mainly problems seemed to come with Major label releases like the Scorps, etc.ReplyDelete

Jack Daniels Training seems to be working!
I bought this book 5 years ago, Danels' Running Formula, by Jack Daniels http://www.amazon.com/Daniels-Running-Formula-Jack/dp/0880117354 . NO! Not the whiskey, he is a famous running coach. I use the book to formulate workout for specific races. I ran my first marathon last year and referenced the book, but didn't follow any of the training plans. Oops. This year my training partner Nate and I have been following Marathon A plan quite closely and results are great.
I can only say results are great by the way I feel when running the specified workouts. The pace is getting easier and I can feel myself getting stronger. A small test of fitness will occur this weekend in Central Park. Our team, Brooklyn Road Runners has a 4 mile team race and it will be my first race in about 5 weeks.
We have been doing tempo runs right around 6 minute pace comfortably, so I am planning on being under 6 minutes/mile avearage, shooting for mid 23s
Our workout today was 8×5 min tempo with 30 seconds recovery. Not as bad as I thought it would be going in. The rest was harder mentally than the actual running. I felt better just to get running again. Held back on purpose due to race coming up, tried to hold it at 6:30 pace, but usually ended up quicker, 6:10-6:20.
Still have sore quads and hams from our 18 miler on Sunday night, 2x10min tempo, 10 miles easy, 20 min tempo. Tough.

Running in Socks
I was racing around last night packing my goodies suitcase when a wall came to my rescue. Socks, polished hardwood floors, arms full of jam jars. If not for that wall, who knows what chaos could have ensued.
I don't understand why, after months of anticipation, I waited until the week before I leave to do any sort of preparation. I'm racing around. I'm even making lists while working out. It's crazy. And Sparky is out of town until tomorrow and I leave Friday so I'm making lists and notes for his solo stay and poop scooping duties. One would think he'd know how to scoop the poop by now, but no.
So to catch up… (ellipse brought to you by the letter Hamish)
Bonn: Tons of fun. Lots of new people. I tried to mingle enough to get to know them, but there just wasn't enough time to satisfy my curiosity.
Sparky got to see Mausi and Sparky looooves Mausi, an Internet crush I totally support.
J is a superb host and tour guide. I say he decides where we go every year. Not that he has to tour guide us every time, but he's got great ideas.
I talked way too much and hopefully didn't offend anyone. I was also a tad bit bossy. I know, totally outside my normal behavior pattern. I think my first report card in Kindergarten said I was very energetic and bossy. The teacher actually used the word bossy. She didn't even couch it in "has leadership qualities" or something similar. Some things never change.
Amsterdam: Sparky and I made a day/night trip to A'dam. It was lovely and a city we need to go back to when I'm not flipping out about the sheer number of people and Bikes. I felt like I was in a game of Frogger trying to cross the narrow alleyways.
I also ate a traditional meal. It only took two hours of walking around to find a place that served traditional food, but it was worth it. I think I've caught up on Mim's country count and at this point Jeffy is so far behind, I should stop making videos of my meals with the word "Bitches" in it.
Thanksgiving: was phenomenal. The turkey was christened Rhianna this year. Our first female. The reason? She was young, luscious, juicy and a total bitch. She didn't thaw in time, despite my timely removal from the freezer. I had to give her a bath every thirty minutes until she thawed out. I think she said something about Jay-Z coming to kick my ass, but by that time, she was brined and stuffed and I was on the phone with Beyoncé.
Scrunchy tried to get in on the action. He likes to sit on the glass in the kitchen when I cook and wait for me to turn my back so he can lick stuff. He lost his perch rights when he stuck his head into Rhianna's nether regions. And yes, I did wash her again.
Rhianna live up to her name and even though there was a momentary panic with the temp (I forgot to convert 165°F to Celsius and couldn't understand what was taking the bird so long to cook), she was so juicy it looked like I had sprayed her with glycerin for a photo shoot.
Then I dropped the apple pie. Sparky scooped it up and ate it, but the rest of us, Hamish, J and I, declined. Cat hair.
Five burns (three major) and only one cut later, dinner was done. Sparky took the guys to the train station and then finished cleaning up the kitchen wearing only my apron. That was a highlight.
Which brings us to the present.
I finished all my Christmas shopping yesterday. All of it. Thank you Visa and thank you Internet. Most packages will arrive wrapped. This means more play time in SF.
I am now off to the gym. It's possible to lose 20 pounds in three days, right?
P.S. Blogger is sucking ass this morning. I can't get this thing published and I got to get going.

As a young boy, I used to have terrible dreams. I would dream about the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz chasing after me. I had a dream of getting caught in some type of tractor beam in the kitchen. Some dreams would start out happy. I would dream of playing in the yard, when suddenly the sky would turn black, and a tornado would throw me into the air. I've died in many of my dreams. I've run away in even more of them. I've been attacked, by strangers, other kids, doctors, teachers and principals. But I could never fight back. Punches were ineffective, guns were made of rubber, and melee weapons were uneasy. Bees would often sting me in many of these violent dreams. There was never anyone in my dreams to protect or defend me. I had to be the hero of my own salvation, or die.
I used to dream of being famous as a young teenager. I would dream of being someone popular, with plenty of friends, someone who women would lust over. Someone who could do anything he wanted to because the money never stopped coming to him. Someone who could sing. Someone who could invent. Someone who discovered something that would forever change the course of human history for the better.
These days, I rarely remember my dreams. But I am known to sleeptalk, or say weird things while drifting into sleep, like hearing gunshots or claiming someone's after me. I wake up in cold sweats on some nights, dazed and confused as to my current surroundings or how I came to be there. My most recent dream was a lucid dream, that of a scene from Star Wars Episode VI, the part where Luke Skywalker discovers Darth Vader's true identity, then falls to his death, crushed by the sheer horror of the truth that the alleged murderer of his father, was in fact his father. I wrote about the following part of that dream in my notebook, which was more than likely examined without my permission. In the following part of that dream, I played Inception with myself, in that I planted an idea within the deepest part of my subconcious. I said, "Let's pretend god is real, and now let's pray… 'our father who art in heaven, blah blah blah, I've been, fuck it, you know how I've been, what do I need to do to get out of this shithole?'" The reply was muffled, but was something along the lines of "You know what to do. Go forth and get better, my son." Then I woke up.
I'm glad I can't remember bad dreams now. I just wish I wasn't missing out on the good ones. And I would be tickled pink if I went to sleep tonight, woke up, and it was 1991 all over again.

AMBASSADOR BRIDGE and MATTY MOROUN
[This is an emotionally driven post.]
Go Vote.
Not for Obama or Romney; but vote on proposal 6. Vote No on proposal 6.
Proposal 6 is not about giving Michigan voters more choice and control. Proposal 6 is a subversive attempt to block the construction of a new international bridge between Detroit and Canada by billionaire Matty Moroun who owns and profits from the Ambassador Bridge.
Matty Moroun expects and understands he will be able to block any new bridge through a state vote by buying the airwaves.
The bridge is not an ideological issue, it is not conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat. It is a Michigan Issue, an issue that every Michigander needs to understand. The new bridge must be built.
Everyone in business, politics, and the media understands this. This is an infrastructure issue key to the progress and development of our state. This is an issue about a billionaire striving to keep his monopoly by any means necessary, his success up to this point is reprehensible and speaks to the worst in us and politics. An international border crossing and international trade should not be dictated by one man. The economy of Michigan should not be dictated by Matty Moroun.
The story of the bridge and its constant blocks is a tale of grotesque political corruption. Everyone who has blocked the bridge has accepted money from the Moroun family.
Jack Lessenberry's coverage on the Ambassador bridge is essential listening and reading. He has covered the issue since the beginning.
Michigan Radio's coverage, in general, on the bridge is truly informative. Inform yourselves on the issue and go vote if you haven't yet, if you have tell your friends.
The Ambassador Bridge is an issue that directly affects the progress of Michigan.

As we pass through the holidays, it's usually a time where you can get a break, think about things and reflect. So. What was your first wargame?
Mine was with little tiny paper chits on a fold out piece of hex-mapped paper down in South Carolina. It's been so long ago that I forget who got me to play it or even what the game was. Because there were dozen of wargames with those little paper chits, it could have been anything.
Fastforwards to 2001 or so. By then, I did paint minis, but strictly for the purposes of D&D. I had well over 50 minis in my small collection, but I had a rep for picking out good minis to represent party members and getting them painted up.
I met Mik and they played a lot of different wargames. Everything under the sun. When they invited me to play this or that, I declined. Then came Necromunda. "Come on," they said. "It's just, what, six figures? Maybe ten? You can't paint up that many?"
And that was it. I was done. I had drank of the elixir. I had tasted of the fruit. I was a wargamer and that was it. To help me in this long process were many nights spent at Andy's house. Andy had, on his shelf, countless rulesets. Every week, I would show up at his house and down in his basement, we would play a completely different wargame. We played at varying scales. We played with varying rules. It was an amazing time and it opening up new horizons for me in terms of what gaming could be.
Today, I'm a hard-core Warmachine/Hordes man, but that's only because that's what I have time for. There are some games coming on the horizon that I may invest in. In particular, I'm looking forwards to the Batman minis game as well as Kingdom Death.
So - what was your first wargame?

The Chronicles of Uth
Marshall, 5th Company, 1st Legion, Army of Ruul
A Warlord who leads by example rather than orders. In fact… he rarely speaks at all.
Rog was born to the nomadic tribes of Orcs that roam the plains of Uth. He displayed the aptitudes for a warlord very early in life. The children around him followed his lead in most games when they realized that they could not win fighting against him. One day the group of children surrounding him, being regaled by his exploits, crossed the path of a rival tribe. They overheard Rog mention that the men of his tribe had gone hunting. When the children returned to camp they found it in ruins with their mothers and sisters dead or brutalized. Rog led the children in a guerilla attack against their rivals. Though some of his friends were killed in the attempt, Rog coordinated a wildly effective campaign that wiped out the other tribe to a man.
From that day forward Rog only spoke when he felt it was absolutely necessary.
While his rationality is what drives his actions most of the time, he despises any kind of coerced subjugation. This makes his religious convictions somewhat less devout than many around him. He will only serve gods who do not require blind faith and mindless devotion. He has yet to find one such as this, so he is mostly agnostic. No one around him will ever know this. He rarely even speaks to command his warriors in battle. His conversational opportunities being a bit less than he'd like, he does not share personal details with anyone.
His silence is not by way of contempt or even shyness, Rog realizes that knowledge is power and speaking is the best way to lose the power one has acquired.

According to BBC news, the UK may allow researchers to clone cells from human tissues donated for research purposes ... without the express consent of the donor.
Supporters assert that being able to clone cells from diseased tissue (eg, from tumor or other pathology samples) would allow researchers to learn more about those conditions -- and could speed the translation of basic-science research into clinically beneficial knowledge and treatments.
Opponents comment that sidestepping informed consent -- particularly for cloning, which creates copies of the donor's cells -- is a plain violation of research participants' rights to decide whether to participate in such studies. And, given the range of public opinion regarding cloning, it is conceivable that some research participants would oppose the use of their donations for this purpose.
This is another version of the question I've blogged about with regard to biobanking: just what should be the scope of allowed activities under a "blanket" or "one-time" consent? Also, should the research imperative (and perhaps the common good) outweigh individuals' preferences ion such cases?

Is this worse than picking a favorite kid?
If you're new to the lil beauty bean, then welcome! Last month I proposed a new series where followers ask questions in the comments, and I'll dedicate a post to their question. In addition to answering, I offered to give a review of their blog.
Today, I'm here to answer My Lil Slice of Life's question:
What makeup brands do you like best?
To start, my makeup collection is primarily drugstore, as I am a college bound high school senior with a very limited bank account. However, I do splurge every now and then on high-end products. I have for you my favorite drug store brand and favorite high end brand!
I use so many Maybelline products everyday, such as their Fit Me! concealers and foundations, but I also love their mascaras and Master Fix setting spray. Before I discovered Kat Von D's Tattoo Eyeliner, my go-to eyeliner was from Maybelline, as well! I believe it was Master Precise… Alas, my memory fails me.
Almost by default, I have to choose this as my favorite brand since I have owned or tried the most products from them. Don't get me wrong, these are great products. Everything I've tried I would purchase for my own (Shape Tape concealer!!) or repurchase. My favorite part of this brand is their use of Amazonian clay. I have the Tarteist in Bloom palette and have tried one of their bronzers with the clay. Man, it's blendable but still manages to stay put. Also, it kind of smells like chocolate. 🙂
Moving on to the other half of an Ask the Bean post- review of My Lil Slice of Life.
I am very picky when it comes to who I follow because I don't want the time I spend on here to be wasted with empty, grammatically incorrect gibberish (not throwin' shade I promise). I want quality blogs and content, but most importantly I want to read content from a genuine person. My Lil Slice of Life checks these boxes. Her posts are entertaining and useful, and her personality shines through each post.
If you have stumbled across this post through Reader, you're probably here for the makeup tag. My Lil Slice of Life does have makeup posts, but also about movies and books. Her blog is truly a slice of her life. My favorite post of hers has been her post inspired by "Cool Kids" by Echosmith.
Go check her out!
Don't forget to ask a question in the comments to have a post of your own.

The Moderate Voice covers "Sunshine Week" in the House of Representatives.
A suggestion to Mr. Boehner and Ms. Pelosi: one way to increase openness and improve the ethics process would be to make ethics disclosures available to the public on the internet.
Go to the website of the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct (the official name for the Ethics Committee). Available on the site are forms for:
- advance authorization of employee travel;
- Member travel disclosure;
- employee travel disclosure;
- forms and instructions for disclosing gifts from foreign governments; and,
- financial disclosure forms for gifts, earned and unearned gifts, and other items
There may be other forms as well, but that's all I can find.
Now which of these are available for public review and scrutiny on the site once they are filed?
Why not? All this data should be prominently disclosed - so the media and the voters don't need to go to the Ethics Committee offices, or the Clerk of the House, or whoever is responsible for publishing them. These forms should be published on the web within a week of their receipt.
If you're really trying to enhance confidence in ethical behavior, then make it easy for us to form our own judgments.

Did anybody watch Game 1 of the World Series last night? I missed it, just like every other postseason game this year. I don't have cable, just the MLB At Bat app, which doesn't work for postseason games unless you already have a TV provider, which I don't. So, between carving pumpkins with the kids and watching the last two episodes of The Blacklist on Netflix, I went to Walmart to pick up a few things, and lo and behold, they finally had Topps Update in stock.
I listened to the part of the game where the Royals tied it at three while I opened the rack pack, and while it wasn't overwhelming, I did get a pair of cards that were definite keepers. Even though the above image was already used in Heritage High Numbers, it still makes for a interesting, if not repetitive card. I still dig it.
As if I hadn't seen enough of Matt Kemp with the first card, here he is again. I perused the Padre cards from Update online, and while I'm not enamored with many of the shots they used, I like this one enough. Good start to his Padre career with this card (and yeah, he was decent on the field, though not the offensive savior that the front office hoped he would be).
Update, to me, is all about rookie cards of players I've never heard of and boring All-Star Game or Home Run Derby cards. Ugh. Well, even though I hardly even follow non-Padres teams, I do know these guys. Took me a while to figure out how to pronounce Syndergaard's name, but I think I got it now. Oh, and I'm glad I checked up on the Addison Russell card, because it turns out that it's a photo variation. Seem to be a lot of those in this year's Update set, but maybe it's just me.
Even though it isn't a Padre card, Evan Gattis' card still stuck out to me. I have a hard time remembering what Topps and other big collectors ™ call different parallels, so I'll stick with "throwback Topps logo parallel that looks like a gold parallel" card. While these don't appear to be too rare either, I really dig the subject matter and the throwback Astros logos, very cool.
Anyways, it was nice to finally get my hands on Update, but I'll probably still need to pick up the Padres base set on eBay or something. Later though.

Rita and a few of the older boys had somehow managed to get on to the steel beam that ran across the train tracks. They threw what they had into the mob. It wasn't enough to kill all the zombies, but it helped by giving the resistance fighters time to regroup.
Lilith was still fighting the zombies on the other side of the chain fence and didn't look like she needed any back up, so Edward and the others were left to take down the handful that hadn't burned to a crisp from the Molotov cocktails.
When the last zombie was put down, Lilith joined the group. As she wiped her sword clean, she asked, "How many did we lose?"
"One," Tzaddik replied and then pointed to a female soldier. "I put her out of her misery."
Edward looked to where Tzaddik had pointed and saw that the soldier had been shot in the head. "Are you sure that she was infected?" There were no visible wounds.
Tzaddik glared at Edward and then walked over to the woman's corpse and flipped her onto her stomach. The back of her tee-shirt in shreds, Edward saw that a chunk of flesh was missing from the midsection of her back.
"We need to patch-up up the entrance, make sure that the barricade holds in case of another attack."
"Your enemy knows where you are," Edward said to Lilith.
"Maybe not, Bradley replied.

Battle of kleine Furz
My Dearest Irma,
I write to you, exultant nay triumphant on the field of Mars. Oh my dear, dear sister, I have seen the elephant. Not of course one of those exquisite creatures of the order of pachydermata, although truth be told I have seen several of those, but rather the charge of bayonets, the whiff of grapeshot, the smell of powder.
Our army is presently encamped in the 'rugged' lands of Covonia, at a place called kleine Furz in their barbaric tongue. Let not the meanness of its name confound you my dear, this is a most pleasant place; charming hills and delightful woods abound. Why my dear I have seen several species of even toed ungulates and Bovidae, whilst Accipitridae and Pandioninae circle the skies. Although, alas, I have not seen sight nor sound of any Strigidae to remind me of our beloved Gormenghast.
Our esteemed Constable has been struck with the Gout, a veritable podagra of the metatarsal-phalangeal joint. It was most fortunate that I was present to intervene with all my knowledge of the physician's art. The Constable has been leeched and bled and I like to think that it was only through the administration of our splendid friends the Hirudo medicinalis that the Constable was able to take the field of battle.
The encounter was a short sharp affair. The Covonians defended a ridge line in a long thin line, with cavalry on their right. A most irregular deployment, I am led to believe. Our Constable masked the centre of their line with infantry and guns, whilst four regiments of Foote, in columns, formed on our right flank. These marched ahead with such alacrity it was a marvel to behold. The precision of the Gormenghastian evolutions was such that, within a blink of an eye, they had formed two lines on the enemy's flank.
The High Linctus looks on aghast at the Constable's evolving columns.
Thereafter, it was simply a case of volley and charge and the end of the enemy line was put to flight. Oh how the scoundrels ran! Now the Constable was poised to roll up the enemy line but upon my word if the most peculiar incident did not occur. I shall eat my hat if it isn't so. Why bless me if a little fellow, on a horse, didn't dash from the Covonian lines carrying a white flag. Of course the Constable, being a complete Gentleman, was only too happy to grant them the honours of war.
So there we stood, in possession of the field, as the Covonian army marched away. And I do believe that we hadn't lost a single fellow from the Gormenghastian ranks! If that is the measure of campaigning I do believe I may be home soon.
Your most affectionate brother,
Alfred Prunesquallor, Physician to the army of Gormenghast

Lord help me, I've done it. I've started a blog. The story of how this came to be is as follows:
So, I'm an avid reader and I've gotten into book blogs recently - YA book blogs, specifically. But there are plenty out there, so I didn't think I needed to add to them.
Then I started getting extremely envious of all the shiny, pretty books these bloggers always had. And I wanted books, goddammit. I WANTED ALL THE BOOKS! So I thought setting up a blog would help me get books - I'm being honest here. I want books. Because I love books.
However, pretty much every blogger says that starting a blog in order to get free books is The Wackness. And I worked out that between my membership to every library borough in London and my own compulsive book buying habits, my TBR is currently at 50+. I'm not exactly short of books. Trying to get more books is madness. So I changed my mind again to 'no blog'.
What finally convinced me to start one, was that last night I started talking to myself in my bathroom mirror. Talking to myself about books. TALKING TO MYSELF, as in the 1st sign of madness. I was just that desperate to gab about the books I just read, the books I'm currently reading and the books I want to read in the future.
I remember when I was 10/11 and my best friend and I used to talk together about the books we read all the time. Being children, we had the exact same amount of time to devote to reading (i.e. lots), we'd swap books back and forth and we would even hang out and read side-by-side. This never happens anymore - the friends I have either don't like reading as much as I do, or have less time to read or don't read the same things. But I want to talk to someone about the books I'm reading and so, the internet is going to be my surrogate best friend. As it is for so many.
So I'm going to have one of those blogs, that submit reviews and participate in memes and promote good books. I hope it's going to be fun. I hope that it will get me doing something and get invested in something that I enjoy. I really hope it's not going to become another excuse to procrastinate. I really, really hope it doesn't become another thing I procrastinate about, rather than do and add to my feelings of guilt and utter helplessness.
And on that cheery note, WELCOME TO MY BOOK BLOG.

Warmism goes Monty Python: UK train company apologizes for climate skeptic tweet — Grovels but 'we have new bike racks' | JunkScience.com
TRAIN company First Capital Connect (FCC) has backtracked over comments one of its employees made about climate change on Twitter earlier today.The Danger of Hanging Your Hat on No Future Warming « Roy Spencer, PhD
Some level of warming can probably be expected, but just how much makes a huge difference. Lindzen and I and a few other researchers in the field think the IPCC models are simply too sensitive, due to positive feedbacks that are either too strong, or even have the wrong sign. But we still believe more CO2 should cause some level of warming.Can Obama Restore The Kinder, Gentler Climate Of 1890? | Real Science

Hall, Michael. My Heart Is Like a Zoo. New York: Greenwillow Books, 2010.
Plot: A heart can hold so many feelings, so many animals.
Setting: a child's bedroom
Point of View: 3rd person
Theme: hearts, emotions, feelings, animals, imagination, bedtime, shapes, counting
Literary Quality: "My heart is like a zoo– eager as a beaver, steady as a yak, hopeful as a hungry heron fishing for a snack." Thus begins a fun and silly exploration of the heart and all its feelings, and the animals it resembles in each state. A mix of the expected and unexpected (my heart is…"crafty as a fox, quiet as a caterpillar wearing knitted socks"), the text will delight readers and listeners. If Hall's writing were not enough to draw children in, the bright, bold and colors of his illustrations would do so in a jiffy. Each animal is composed of a collage of hearts, perfectly complementing and paralleling the text (and offering inspiration for a post-reading craft!). When the story ends, "tired as a zookeeper who's had a busy day," the illustration reveals that the animals are actually in a child's bedroom, a child who sleeps. A lovely reflection on emotions and art, this book will help children express themselves in myriad ways. Plus, children will enjoy counting all of the hearts they can find!
Audience: I would recommend this book to readers ages 0-5. A wonderful way to help young readers think about their feelings.
Personal reaction: I gave My Heart Is Like a Zoo to my son as a little Valentine's Day gift this year. I love the use of the heart as the central theme of the story and as the mode of composition for the illustrations! This is the kind of book my boy would have loved from day one, when he only liked books with big blocks of color. I immediately picked up a copy to send along to a friend's new baby, as well.

A Hard Won Title
"The Worst Toilet In Scotland"
That, dear readers, is a title that is hard won.
It's not something that happens by accident, you've got to earn it.
3 comments:
I believe there is going to be a "20 years later" sequel. Are you going to see it?ReplyDeleteReplies
Soon as it hits home video!Delete
Oh dear me! That has me in stitches. Reminds me of the first time my newly minted wife and I went on a delayed "honeymoon" to Ireland. Drove all over (pre bypass highways) and at one point in the middle of a grey day on the Dingle peninsula, wife says "gotta go"... "now!". So we stop at a lookout point that has a conveniently provided stone building marked "toilets" and I wait while she does her thing. Not 20 seconds go by when she appears running like the devil is after her and crying (frustration). Through sobs I get the picture of a wet stone floor, a very dirty toilet bowl (ceramic) and NOTHING else, no seat, no paper, no water, no lighting other than the vent hole and probably not cleaned since the vikings last raided. We broke a few speed regs getting to the next hotel. So there, perhaps the worst toilet in Ireland had been identified. Then we can discuss the 10p pay toilets of the UK.... fun times.Delete

Today we are in Austin to watch my oldest son run his first marathon. Few settings could be more alien but I'm curious to see how Josh will run 26 miles, 385 yards. He's twenty-nine, and started running only a year ago, but is gifted with an ironclad work ethic. If he does something, he does it. No skimping, no half-measures, no distractions. I wish I had been like that at twenty-nine. The run in Austin reminds me of a poem by Guy Davenport -- "At Marathon" (Thasos and Ohio: Poems and Translations 1950-1980, 1986) -- just as Josh reminds me of Pheidippides, who ran from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory over the Persians at the Battle of Marathon in 490 B.C.:
"Marianne Moore saluted the battlefield.
Her frail hand at the brim of her hat
round as a platter, she stood at attention
in her best Brooklyn Navy Yard manner,
or as years before she and Jim Thorpe
raised the school flag at Carlisle.
Here in long scarlet cloaks the ranks
advanced with ashlared shields, singing
to the thrashed drums and squealing fife
the pitiless hymn of Apollo the Wolf,
spears forward, horsetails streaming
from the masked helmets with unearthly eyes.
The swordline next and the javelineers,
More red cloaks, Ares wild in their blades.
The javelins whistled up like partridges
flushed in a brake and fell like sleet.
The Persians bored in, an auger of hornets.
The Greeks flowed around their thrust
as fire eats a stick. Wise to the ruse,
the Persians pulled back to the sea
and made hard in their ships for Athens,
which, the Greek army there on the plain,
lay naked to their will, tomorrow's victory.
But the Greeks were there on the morrow
to cut them back. They had run all the way
from Marathon, twenty miles, in bronze.
Two thousand, four hundred and fifty-five
years ago. There are things one must not
leave undone, such as coming from Brooklyn
in one's old age to salute the army
at Marathon. What are years?"
Moore visited Greece in 1962 with her Bryn Mawr classmates Frances and Norvelle Browne. She stopped at Marathon. Davenport would admire the reverence of such a gesture. He refers in his final line to Moore's poem "What Are Years?" in which she says "how pure a thing is joy. / This is mortality, / this is eternity."

How about a bit of a quick catch up on where everything Troop Treatie is at instead?
Soldiers' Angels adoptees -
Marine J is almost on his way home so I'm sending up prayers that he has a safe and quick trip home (not going via Mumbai and any International incidents I hope!). He's no longer officially one of my Adoptees, however he has said he'd like to keep in touch once he gets home which I would love.
National Guard E is toiling away at his appointed task and (I hope) staying safe.
Airforce M just had a birthday! He's a Buffalo Bills fan (that's an American football team and NOT a cowboy... just in case other Non-USAians like me get confused) and not having much inkling of what would make him smile the most I sent him one of these
|Mr Potato Head does sports... How Spudly of him!
Newest Adoptee does not yet know he has acquired the "Goofy Aussie Chick"
UPDATED TO ADD BREAKING NEWS: I have just managed to acquire a New Newest Adoptee. Another Airforce member (sorry Navyone - still no Sailors on my list). Parcel from Soldiers' Angels store is now hopefully on it's way to him with (most probably) some of the wrong data on the shipment sheet [seems SA's order computer got confused by the Pax way of doing things - whoops!]. I'll keep a small feverant chant going that the parcel does reach the correct destination.
And I have just had an email from my friend Landon - he is safe if hot (said that it was 130 degrees F the other day). Must see if I can find one of those cool scarf things to send him. I met Landon via the Green Beans Cup of Joe program (where you donate $$ and the troops get drink vouchers) and we have kept up a correspondence via email.
Oh and speaking of Green Beans. I just received a lovely item in the mail from them. Last month they ran a promotion that if you sent more than a certain amount of donations, you would be sent a t-shirt.
|Very cool! - Maybe I should wear it to Starbucks (okay.. maybe if I ever go to a $tarbucks. We do have
them over here but I find the average clientele annoyingly pretentious at the store closest to me)
"How do you manage to afford to send off these treats? Are you independently wealthy?"
And the answer... "Independently wealthy!! Oh how I wish!"
Actually it involves a monthly budget which I try to stick to. Other than special parcels for birthdays, I attempt to send something of equal cost and quality to each of the adoptees per month.
My personal financial rules are:- pay mortgage and bills first; buy groceries; treat troops. I am not much of a clothes or shoes shopper (I think that part of the "girl-gene" got missed on me since I'd rather buy books) and I don't have much of a social life at the moment so funds can be rerouted from there. And with my rather nice tax refund financing a few extra treats for friends downrange and in other zones, my fiscal line is staying mostly in the black.
I also do not think of the Troop Treating as an task. To me it is a joy to know that I may be making someone thousands of miles away smile and feel appreciated. And of course there is the added bonus that some of the more whacky items cause such amusing feedback from my adoptees. So the smiles are shared back and forth.
Whoops.. okay that was not a *quick* post at all. Sorry about that Chief!
Pax - over and out and heading for sleep.

Web Cam (Fun?)
So we're all aware of the harsh economy. It's not shocking to hear people say that "desperate times call for desperate measures". I'm confused about something though. Today I started thinking about webcam "modeling" (with which anyone with half a brain knows there's a lot more involved than just standing around looking pretty). My boyfriend is okay with the knowledge that once upon a time I posed nude for that highly immoral site Suicidegirls (for some reason he sees it as artistic). Yet he seems concerned that I would "lower" myself to touching myself on screen. This coming from a man who jokes about making amateur porn with me. Can anyone sort this out for me?

Last August 15, it was widely reported that Major League Baseball will use instant replay extensively for the 2014 season. This after baseball's umpires have blown a lot of calls in recent memory.
The passing of this essentially will just require the 75% of owners and the players to vote 'yea' for this to be implemented.
As I understand, team managers will be allowed three challenges over the course of a game. One in the first six innings and two in the last three. Should a manager not use his first challenge, it will NOT be carried over to the last three innings. However, a manager who wins a challenge will retain it.
The reviewable plays include home runs, tags, whether the ball is foul or fair or just about anything but calls in the strike zone that constitute the non-reviewable plays.
For a manager to challenge a call or blown-call, he will have to do it the old fashioned route by trotting over to the umpire.
MLB executives are optimistic that with the new technology available, it will cut short the current three minutes that it takes to review a call. And to quote Atlanta Braves President John Schuerholz, "It will dramatically cut down the number of incorrect calls."
League Vice President Tony La Russa assured fans that managers and players arguing with the umpires will be kept because it's part of the sport's tradition.
Sports has increasingly made use of instant replay to get calls right – there's American Football, tennis, and basketball to name a few. FIFA, the governing body for football, is also looking into this. Now if they can find a way to really integrate that into the UAAP because the calls have been horrific and if you ask me, they look like they favor a team or two.

Potty trainig bribe and handling potty training regression
potty training regression ruin the party
What is the official "potty training word" on the rewards for potty training?
Some child development gurus say it's a bad idea. Your kids should be able to potty train without promises of toys, trips or candy.
Others say, "Who doesn't like a little incentive?"
My take after potty training 3 kids is, it depends on you and the child. But before you go down the "rewards" aisle it's good to know the difference between a "reward" and a "bribe."
The main difference with these words is: a "bribe" is dangled as "bait" beforehand ….and a "reward" is given after the deed.reward: something given or received in return for service, merit, etc.bribe: anything given or serving to persuade or induce:Source www.thefreedictionary.com/
So let's put these word in action!Reward: "When you make it to the potty and go on your own, you will get a sticker."Bribe: "Please just sit on the potty. Here's a sticker. Now sit on the potty."
The bribe can often backfire in your face. Now Jr. has the sticker (before he goes potty) but he's decided he doesn't want to sit on the potty. Jr. may say, "I will sit on the potty when you give me another sticker!" (I'm sure you know how the rest of this plays out!)
The reward can also backfire if you're not careful. The child may sit on the potty when they don't "have to go" just to get a sticker!
After potty training three kids, my best approach was to have children's books near the toilet. That way, when they were trying, I'd read the book or let them turn the pages on their own.
Sometimes, after they went potty I'd just surprise them with a sticker. "You're doing such a good job. How about a sticker!"
Other times, I'd give them one jellybean. Just out of the blue. "Yippee. Here's a jelly bean." We always had books to read, but the rewards were totally sporadic. Icing on the cake. Sometimes my child would say, "Do I get a jelly bean?" I'd reply, "No, not this time. It's a surprise, we don't know when it will happen!"
So they knew to go potty without the surprises, but when a surprise via a sticker or candy came they were excited! ("The best of both worlds.")Fun rewards: stickers, jellybeans, marbles, blow bubbles or bouncy balls.Fun bribes: Ask your brother or sister to potty train your kids in exchange for a paid weekend in Vegas.

And Now A Word from Your Pastor...
You may have heard about The Bible, a miniseries produced and directed by Roma Downey (Touched by an Angel) and Mark Burnett (Survivor) airing on The History Channel beginning Sunday, March 3rd. A few of you have asked what I think about it, perhaps not realizing I've seen as little of the actual show as you have. :-)

Sermon for the 2nd Sunday in Lent: "Living Between Trust and Anxiety"
So last night I spent the final hours of the day pounding my head against a sermon that WOULD. NOT. BE. WRITTEN. It happens like that sometimes. It's no crime to admit you can't bring a new word every single week, particularly if you've got something in the hopper that folks where you're at haven't heard before. That was the case this morning.

Faith Five: SHARE - (2 Corinthians 1.3-7)
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, 4who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God. 5For just as the sufferings of Christ are abundant for us, so also our consolation is abundant through Christ. 6If we are being afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation; if we are being consoled, it is for your consolation, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we are also suffering.7Our hope for you is unshaken; for we know that as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our consolation. (2 Corinthians 1.3-7)

Sent to Nineveh
Today is a big day for ELCA seminarians. It's the day regional assignments are released and students find out where they've been "drafted." It's a day of high anxiety and fear. Some students will find that fear alleviated by receiving the regional and synodical assignments they requested. Some students will find that fear confirmed by being sent to a part of the country with which they have no experience and for which they feel ill-equipped. A lucky few are able to go wherever they are needed and simply hope to find a good place to begin their ministry, but the overwhelming majority have a general place in mind where they hope they are called to serve, for whatever reasons may seem best to them.

Sermon for Ash Wednesday - Saved In Ashes And Rent Hearts
The story that gives rise to Psalm 51 is terrible. King David, the man after God's own heart, the shepherd boy chosen by God to be the leader of God's people, was standing on high and looking out over the city of Jerusalem when he saw a beautiful woman bathing and fell victim to his own desire and power. He had the woman, Bathsheba, brought to his chambers, where he took her against her will and conceived a child with her. When she told him she was pregnant, King David brought her husband Uriah home from the battlefield so that he might visit his wife, sleep with her, and thus hide the illegitimate pregnancy as one of his own. But Uriah was faithful to King David and his fellow soldiers. Uriah refused to leave King David's house. He slept on King David's doorstep the first night, and stayed there the second night even after King David fed him wine and rich foods to get him drunk and fool him into going home. In the end, King David sent Uriah back to the battlefield and ordered his commander, Joab, to put Uriah at the front of the army, attack their enemy and pull back quickly so that Uriah would be killed. Joab followed King David's orders, Uriah was killed, and King David took Bathsheba into his household as one of his wives soon after.

Culture Roundup
We gathered with some friends for the Super Bowl last night and, true to form, spent more time watching the commercials than the game. One of these years I'm going to have to adopt an NFL team I truly love so I might actually care about the game itself if said team ever makes it to the top.
As it is, I'm considering proposing legislation to ban GoDaddy from ever producing a commercial again. Yeesh. And as some of my friends noted, there aren't a lot of farmers like the ones Paul Harvey described who could afford the $50,000 pickup Dodge was selling in their commercial, no matter how much it might tug at your heartstrings. That one and the Clydesdale commercial win for "most likely to make me cry if I watch it by myself." The Oreo Riot, Miracle Montana Stain and Babylandia were my biggest Laugh Out Loud moments. And our friends brought a "Snackadium" for us all to enjoy, which we did. Sloppy Joes, queso, Chex Mix - it was a good night for my tummy 'round these parts.

Sermon for the 4th Sunday after Epiphany - Jesus Came Into The World For...
There have been stories over the last few years about the difficulty of being a lottery winner. You may have heard of this: the first thing every big lottery winner should do, according to the people who run the lottery, is hire a lawyer and get ready for everyone you've ever known to come out of the woodwork. Today being Super Bowl Sunday, the members of the Ravens and the 49ers have had similar problems dealing with ticket requests. One former player interviewed on NPR said he made his spouse deal with ticket requests so he could focus on the game. I can only imagine how well went over with the spouse. But what it boils down to is this: when a local boy or local girl makes it big, everyone comes running to share in the good news. This was as true in Nazareth in the days of Jesus as it is today.
The people of Nazareth were welcoming back the hometown boy who was building a good reputation for himself. "Hey, did you hear Jesus will be back in town on Saturday?" "If he healed that guy over in Capernaum, just imagine what he'll do for us!" "I remember Mary's boy Jesus when he was still waddling around the house in his diapers." "I always knew Jesus would make something of himself." But Jesus had harsh words for these folks who thought they knew him so well. First, as you heard in today's reading from Luke, Jesus amazed the crowd by claiming that the promises of Isaiah were fulfilled as they listened to him read them aloud. Odd, but that wasn't the worst. The worst was the moment when Jesus picked a fight with the hometown crowd.
Jesus said, "I'm sure you're expecting me to do some great things here, things you've heard I've been doing in other towns. Well, you're not going to like what I have to say to you here. People who speak the truth from God are never welcomed in their hometowns."
What happens here sets the tone for the rest of the gospel of Luke. Jesus tells these people who have loved him that their connection to him is not what makes them special. Jesus makes it very clear: he has not come into the world to make sure that these people who've known him can exploit that connection for their own benefit. Messiah came into the world for much more than the people of Nazareth.
Jesus came into the world for the Gentiles - for more than just one tribe, more than just one clique. In Luke 2.10 the angels say that God has brought "good news for all people." A few verses later the prophet Simeon says Jesus will be "a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel." When John the Baptist arrives on the scene to prepare the way of the Messiah, he proclaims that in Jesus salvation will be seen by all flesh." Jesus was promised to Israel for centuries, but the promise was never limited to Israel.
You have to ask yourself: what's the problem for the people of Nazareth? That they want Jesus to do great things? No! The problem is that Nazareth wants Jesus for themselves at the exclusion of others who also need him. If he is the Messiah, he's our Messiah - and they will set up walls to keep Jesus in and keep the rabble out if they have to. There's no room for outsiders, no room for those who don't look like us, act like us, don't meet our standards. Make no mistake - this is not a failing limited to Nazareth - the same problem lives in us today and will live in us forever. Jesus is for Nazareth, but Jesus is also for those outside of Nazareth.
Jesus came into the world for sinners, no matter where they might be found. The things he said to the people of Nazareth offended them because Sidonites and Syrians were sinners. We can't say this for certain, but it sure sounds like Jesus picked a fight on purpose to prove his point. Want to know what it feels like to hear what the people of Nazareth heard? Imagine that person who epitomizes everything wrong with the world, and put their name in the place of the widow of Zarephath or Naaman the Syrian. It sounds offensive because it is meant to be offensive. It is meant to be offensive because God wants to offend our sense of entitlement, which always rises up and gets in the way when we think we've joined the "in" group by being part of the church. God blesses whomever God chooses to bless. It is not under our control - God blesses whomever God chooses to bless.
At a concert in 1997, a few months before he died in a car accident, Rich Mullins said, "Being a Christian doesn't mean you build a community and fence it in, where there are no minorities, no gays, no sinners. Being a Christian means loving what Jesus loved, and Jesus loved the poor." We simply can't tell God what God should do, whom God should love. God is free. God is free to do whatever God wants, even if it doesn't make us particularly happy. God can and does call us to love and serve the outsider, the imperfect, those who aren't necessarily what we think they ought to be. Above all, the message from Jesus is this: "DON'T YOU DARE PRESUME TO TELL GOD WHO IS IN AND WHO IS OUT." Living in Nazareth didn't make for a special claim on the Messiah. Neither does being a member in good standing of St. Petri Lutheran Church, or the ELCA, or the Roman Catholic Church, or any other community of faith. God decides who is in and who is out, and if God wants to ignore what you might think is your better judgment, well, you're going to have to take that up with God. And I wish you good luck.
Here's the great thing, though: you can indeed take this up with God, because if Jesus came into the world for the outsiders and sinners, that means that Jesus came into the world for you. Or are you going to sit there and tell me you've never felt like an outsider - or that you've never been a sinner? If being part of the hometown crowd didn't do anything for the people of Nazareth, being here this morning isn't going to make God feel any better about you, either. It's not about who you've been - it's all about who Jesus is and who Jesus came into the world to save. Ann Landers once wrote that the church "is not a hotel for saints: it's a hospital for sinners." Jesus also seemed to feel this way about faith and why he came into the world. He said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
Jesus didn't come into the world to play favorites. Jesus didn't come into the world to be the eternal nanny, forever keeping track of our spiritual chore sheets and who gets an extra spoonful of sugar this week. That's not how it works. The people of Nazareth were blessed by Jesus presence, but not because it got them better seats at the resurrection: they were blessed because God Incarnate grew up among them! The Word of God took on flesh and bone and lived with them, and they saw his glory - that's all the blessing we people of God could ever need! We aren't righteous here at St. Petri because we've got our theology right, or because we got the budget in the black, or because we've braved the elements on a cold Iowa morning when it would have been more comfortable to just stay in bed. We here at St. Petri are blessed because Jesus Christ, the truth of God, came into the world for sinners like us, and in him we've been set free of all those other things we think are so important. God's church is meant to be a safe place, a hospital for sinners, but it is NEVER a place where the blessings of almighty God are expected as a result of what we do or limited to a chosen few that look, act, and think the way we do. God's church is meant to be a safe place turning itself inside out, offering God's mercy and love to a world that needs it desperately, welcoming those who don't know the story and who haven't been part of the 'in' crowd at the church before.
This world is changing. God's church is changing. But God's love hasn't changed. From our deepest history, God's love has always sought outsiders and sinners and made them free in mercy for the sake of the world. God's reckless love isn't happy until it gives itself away freely. In the church, God is creating the 'inside-out' crowd, gathered by the Holy Spirit, forgiven in Jesus' name, sent into the world to proclaim the love of God for all humanity. Jesus didn't come into the world to play favorites - Jesus came into the world for outsiders, for sinners, for you. Be blessed, God's chosen people. Amen.

Rejoined Ancestry and found an updated Family Tree from another Canty Cousin and low and behold was a date and place of death. 9 Nov 41 in Beaufort, South Carolina. There were no records to back this up but I'm hoping with an actual place and date I can send for a certificate. I feel like I am closer to this grandfather than the ones I had more information about to start with. I have searched, and turned over stones, and been to many many genealogy classes and I feel I now understand the story of his life. I'll never know why he left his original family but I suspect he was homesick for the South. A long history of calling the Low Country home. On the other hand, my Grandma Fanny had an even longer relationship to the North. Of course, there is more to this than we'll ever know, but I feel like I have graduated from the child who lost her mother at 5 years of age and knew very little about her and the extended family, to a woman who knows more than even her mother did about this family. It is a special time we live in to have these answers at our finger tips. I feel at peace and I am glad to share this story with my sons and their family.

Another Divorce
Continued searching has led me to another census report showing that Grandpa Canty and Mamie, his second wife, divorced. He ends up back in South Carolina in a place called Bluffton. I wonder if my mother knew anything about him or if they ever connected? I don't suppose I'll find the answer to their personal relationship, but I do know it was a possibility.

However, my back end continues to trouble me I no long think it is a hip condition, or if it was that is no longer the issue. It pains me to sit for long periods. No idea what will come of this.
Pavement: wet

Climate: rain & thunder
Mood: confounded
Bracing run in the rain. Cold rain, brief run. Good to get out an move my legs. Today is a personal day, the wife is home, kids still on break. We did not have the opportunity to visit the zoo on Calvin's Day, so that is where we are headed now.
A walk through the zoo in the rain. Sounds like fun.

We have usually enjoyed celebrating in pretty simple ways each year - a quiet dinner, a weekend away, tickets to a concert. We've never needed a lot of fancy things. We're still wearing the same rings that we put on June 26th, 1976. Jackie is wonderfully creative so I've enjoyed many handmade cards and gifts. She unfortunately is married to a not so handy person so I buy the classic card or small gift punctuated by a song I've written now and then for extra special years. I can write music, but my presents never equal hers!
We did celebrate twenty-five years with a dream trip to Austria and Switzerland and just returned from an awesome land/cruise to Alaska for thirty-five. At this point in life we're thinking we had better do a few more bigger trips or we're going to run out of time to finish our bucket list.
However, whatever ways you and your spouse choose to celebrate anniversaries I want to challenge you to in a sense celebrate your love every day. No, not with chocolates, roses, trips or concert tickets. But more with little, thoughtful acts of kindness and love that let one another know again and again they are loved and special.
And usually couples sort of develop and negotiate these over time and they differ from marriage to marriage. For example, we often sit together on the couch with my legs on hers or vice versa. We surprise each other with a treat we know the other person likes. We do something tangible that the other person might not care to do - put gas in the car, iron a shirt, or kill a spider. Those are all little touches of love.
As a pastor I'm busy a lot on weekends but as much as possible I try to sit with Jackie during one of the services unless I'm teaching. (I'm teaching on our anniversary today by the way - what else is new?) We make one day a week available to each other to just be together, often doing something special, sometimes running errands. The point is that it's just us and it reminds us of our commitment to each other.
We say "I love you" a lot and speak with respect even when we have conflict. We try never to talk negatively about the other person outside our home. We try not to let irritations simmer. We say thank you and I appreciate all you do and that sort of thing in everyday moments.
We've been far from perfect all these years but we do know this, marriages hang together for long periods of time when love is expressed is some way most every day. What little loving habits do you have or could you develop?
You'll have to come up with what works and impacts each other best in your relationship. But don't merely wait for the big days and the major anniversaries. Yes, plan for those, celebrate and have fun. But share some of your love every day and you'll more likely celebrate more and more of those major milestones together year after year.
