When I wrote a couple of articles on home education last year for national newspapers, I was swiftly chucked off the HE-UK and EO Internet lists. The ostensible reasons for this were that I had used information from the lists to write the articles and that other parents would feel uneasy at my continued presence. I have said several times since that both arguments struck me as weak, which led some of those commenting on this blog to suggest that I must be autistic!
I am observing the same reluctance to tolerate dissent or heterodox opinions now operating on various other home education lists and blogs. I am not the only person whose views are being suppressed; Tania Berlow has also been barred from several places, the Home Ed Forums for example.
There is something deliciously ironic and satisfying about watching stout libertarians imposing censorship in this way. It is not called censorship of course. I have always been perfectly courteous on the Badman Review Action Group list, but that did not stop somebody making an extremely personal attack on me, speculating about my childhood, possible relationship with my parents and resultant hatred of women! When I attempted to respond to this, I was put on moderation. This was done on the grounds that my posts were not helpful, informative or interesting and from then on posts which I have made have been deleted. I have of course stopped posting there, which was the intention of those using moderation in this way. The grounds for censoring Tania Berlow from the Home Ed Forums was that she had been defaming people. Quite untrue of course, but it provided a neat excuse to get rid of her. Kelly Green in Canada, the great defender of civil rights and freedom of speech, simply deletes any posts of mine at once from her blog. This is because she disagrees with what I say and does not wish to have anything on Kelly Green and Gold which suggests less than 100% agreement with her own views.
Sometimes, the censorship is done in a very unpleasant way. On HE-UK, a small group of playground bullies have in the past driven off parents who have asked too many questions or failed to be firm enough in their resolve to refuse visits from their local authority. Several women have contacted me after such episodes, one or two of them very distressed at the treatment which they have received. On other lists, the strategy is a little subtler. Certain people are put on moderation without being told and their posts simply deleted. This means that when somebody posts a message which denounces them, it appears that they are unable to formulate a response! I am not the only person against whom this particular tactic has been successfully used.
Readers of this blog will know that there is no moderation at all. Anybody can say anything they please and their comments will appear at once. I had to use moderation briefly on two occasions, but that was more for disruption that one person was causing, not because I wished to stop his views appearing. I do not agree with Tania on a number of points, as can be seen from things which I have said here, but I consider it absolutely scandalous that her views are being censored by people who claim to be hard-line libertarians. If these people were to be honest, they would admit that they were taking such a step not because Tania is defaming anybody, but rather due to the fact that she is disagreeing with others. This is a terrible reason for introducing censorship. There have been rumblings of discontent on the BRAG list, which Tania has chosen as her vehicle to put across her motives and plans for the project with Graham Stuart and Alison Sauer. I have a suspicion that if she is not careful, she is going to find herself in difficulty there as well. It is rumoured that Action on Home Education have also thrown her off.
This sort of activity by supposedly liberal and right-on home educators is hard to justify. If these people actually approve of censorship and believe that those holding other opinions should be denied a voice, then they have a perfect right to believe that. What sticks in my craw is the way that people like Kelly Green in Canada and others in this country make such a song and dance about freedom and civil rights and then at the drop of a hat impose censorship upon anybody whose views do not coincide with their own.

Thomas Sowell hits yet another one out of the park with this analysis of what smart drivers do when they see a bright red ball bouncing into the street; they slow down and watch out for the child who is chasing it. He then makes the comparison to government programs, and how the stated purpose of a program is often a bright red ball that politicians chase--bringing the whole country into the path of the semi truck of reality.
I must, however, do a quick "one-up" of Dr. Sowell, because I vividly remember listening to ads for new mortgage products (e.g. 125% loan to value and the like) in the late 1990s and early 2000s and thinking "this will not end well."
And, of course, it didn't, and, of course, the Obama administration, despite having abundant evidence of what is wrong with promoting risky loans, is working hard to repeat the mistakes of the Clinton and Bush administrations.
Yup, this will not end well. And if someone is offering you a subprime loan, just say no. We may yet finagle another dip in the recession this way as a country, but at least you don't need to go through foreclosure as a result.

Conservative Mike Huckabee appeared on Wednesday's edition of Washington Watch with Tony Perkins, to express his outrage with business establishments (such as Walmart) for not supporting the right-to-discriminate laws that were passed in his home state of Arkansas.
In the interview with Tony Perkins, he confidently says that the LGBT communities have turned the religious freedom controversy in Indiana and Arkansas into a "phony crisis." He then preaches that the gay rights activists would not be satisfied until the Christian community and churches were completely diminished.
It won't stop until there are no more churches, until there are no more people who are spreading the Gospel," Huckabee told Right Wing Watch in a radio interview. "I'm talking now about the unabridged, unapologetic Gospel that is really God's truth.
Huckabee then added that the LGBT movement is equivalent to George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984.
It is a classic example of — really a page out of 1984, when what things mean are the opposite of what they really are. And that's what I'm seeing here is that in the name of tolerance, there's intolerance. In the name of diversity, there's uniformity. In the name of acceptance, there's true discrimination.
Agreeing with Huckabee's statement, host Tony Perkins argued that instead of filing law suits against discriminatory business owners, gay people should just attend establishments that allowed them access. "Where will it stop?" he asked Huckabee.
As the program continued, the former Arkansas governor adds that Christian conservatives would never boycott business establishments like Walmart. . . but being the hypocrite that he is, he tells the program that he plans to boycott Walmart because the company is "taking a stand against religious freedom."

It has been shown that in the puppy, two infarcts separated by an interval of four weeks produce a disorder of long duration which results in flattening and broadening of the femoral head and which reproduces the radiological changes seen in Perthes' disease in man. The histological appearances produced by two infarcts are characteristic. In this study the histological appearance of fifty-seven femoral head biopsy specimens in Perthes' disease in man have been studied. In 51 per cent of hips histopathological changes characteristic of double infarction were present, and there were grounds for postulating that double infarction might eventually occur in all cases. The findings support the concept that the deformation of the femoral head and the chronicity of Perthes' disease in man may be due at least as much or even more to repeated episodes of infarction and the ensuing abnormalities of growth as to mechanical factors related to weight-bearing.

Fishing leaders: Has the Monterey Bay sanctuary kept its promise?
The answer is no, not to fishermen; please let us explain. Reflect back to 1992 when the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary was proposed. While fishermen and most others agreed that it could help prevent offshore oil development, we had concerns about how sanctuary authority might affect those of us who provide food from ocean resources. There was also public discussion about how stakeholders would have a say in the new federal bureaucracy. Commercial fishermen and recreational anglers had killed two earlier sanctuary proposals over these concerns. In response, fishermen heard that the new sanctuary would not threaten our livelihoods or create fishing regulations. It was a broad assurance, and repeated often by both elected and NOAA officials. click here to read the story 22:54
Fishermen fight for representative on Monterey Bay sanctuary council
Representation on an advisory council has reignited long-simmering tensions between the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and the fishing community. Fosmark said she has heard Michel say, "If you don't agree with the sanctuary expanding, then you shouldn't be on the SAC." The expansion is not widely supported, local fishermen said, and Fosmark is their collective voice. The letter to Michel was signed by commercial fishermen from Eureka to San Diego. continued
CALIFORNIA: ACSF Opposes Sanctuary Expansion of Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary
October 5, 2012 — The Alliance of Communities for Sustainable Fisheries (ACSF), formed in 2000 to represent the commercial and recreational fishing interests of the six harbor communities in the central coast of California, released a statement opposing the expansion of the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary. The ACSF represents an area that includes the current sanctuary. The ACSF's letter of opposition explains why regional fishermen oppose expansion of the Sanctuary and believe that it should instead focus on improving its governance and community relations.

Taibbi Thumps Trump
Now, apart from the fact that this is entirely fictional -- as in, it didn't happen -- what's more interesting is how not only, but his followers have dug in on this lie no matter what facts emerge to the contrary. Matt Taibbi basically buttons the key thing here:
It was preposterous from the start to think that there could have been contemporaneous broadcasts of "thousands" of people in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 attacks. Does nobody remember how people felt that day? If there had been such broadcasts, there would have been massacres – angry Americans would have stormed Jersey City.Seems like a no-brainer, but there it is. Beyond that, however, Taibbi posits that this whole contretemps is indicative of a whole new level of stupidity among the folks for whom this story strikes a resonant chord. Read the rest of his piece here.

Profile Information
I'm in Lesueur-any suggestions where to take it? Thinking Drammels in St Peter.
Pulled the cover and ran with ear muffs. "smoke" is coming from lower unit. Black liquid is dripping from a black thin plate like part located near the boat side of the motor. Would not start after one tunrover/quit. Bringing it in tommorrow.
Help-1993 Johnson 60HP 3 cylinder
seamonster1 posted a topic in Boats & Motors.Help- I just got done bragging to a coworker how well this motor has treated me for 16years. Then trouble of course. Here's the situation. Monday put in the water for first time. Absolutley no issues. Saturday put in the water and fine to location A. Went to leave and it starts fine. Increase throttle and it dies. starts back up and dies after 5 seconds. Did this 5-7 times before using trolling motor to get back. Noticed two things. 1)Was emitting alot of white smoke- like it does when I take it out for the first time and it burns fogging oil out. 2) The gas tank was very low and I have added oil(50:1) to gas tank for several years, after burning out power head several years ago when oil pump quit working. After it was out of water, I filled the gas tank without any oil. what should I expect tommorrow when I put it in the water?
Question about Eastern's fan colors
seamonster1 posted a topic in Turkey HuntingMounted my birds fan from this year finally. When I hung it next to another from three years ago, something caught my eye. This years bird looked like a merriam compared to the other. HUGE difference in the tip coloration-both outside of fan and tips off middle feathers. Dark bird was taken in Lesueuer county, light bird in Goodhue. What's up with this? Genetics? What consistuites a merriams? I always thought the white tip was a dead give away? If you browse the photos throughtout the this site- you will notice the same thing. Never knew there was that big a difference.
Canopy, Just reading your earlier posts- you and i think alike. hint- the acorns started falling in my area a week ago. My sites are holding multiple bears with little in the way of scent- Guys on atvs cannot figure why the bears are not going better- since the natural berry crop is gone.
Same old bear headaches...
seamonster1 replied to gorrilla's topic in Deer Hunting-Bear-Elk-MooseATV's and bears DO NOT mix! Second, I always get a kick out of you guys with your "warning signs". No bear is gonna be anywhere near a bait when it hears an atv coming a 1/2 mile away. Most "warning signs" are from people intending to stake a claim to an area or simply new to the bear baiting game. There are also the folks who mark there baits off roads/atv trails with the tracking tape. Hmm wonder where your bait is? I have to admit I have been known to take these tapes down unless I know it is the CO( who usually marks at trail/road entrance-not right beside bait)or might even add a little scent to the bait site! if you know what I mean. I'm quite confident the same will not happen to mine. Guys if you want a bear- do your homework( scout) and walk the bait in!
any action?
seamonster1 replied to big_walleye22's topic in Deer Hunting-Bear-Elk-Moose9/15 baits going everyday. 3 others are iffy, but for sure bears. Kindoff expected this- as there was NO natural food expect some usual bunchies.
white stuff is tortilla shells/taco shells- absolutely NO nonbiodegrables left at site! Started hanging potato sacks(biodegradable) then just dump on ground once hit. Pretty sure the one site has multiple bears.
Few more photos 2nd photo is same site as previous post but in AM next photo is 11AM with me at site- how much time has gone by since bear left and I came in?
My baits are getting hammered. From 1 hr after I leave till 1 hr before I come back. Got cameras! Little freaked when the shadow line of me at the bait and the bear at the bait is not much different. url=http://www.uploadfile.info]
Bear zone- where do you hunt
seamonster1 posted a topic in Deer Hunting-Bear-Elk-MooseEverybody see if we are close to each other- or should I say were we should not cross paths. Zone 26 northwest side of Winnie.
Bear Notification
seamonster1 replied to Neiko's topic in Deer Hunting-Bear-Elk-MooseNo changes in booklet to regs. same book as every other time. Was hopping it would have some of the changes mentioned.
Merriam hunt suggestions
seamonster1 posted a topic in Turkey HuntingI will have the last half of may off next year. Would like to give a merriam hunt a try. Suggestions? Looking for specific outfitters, places, ect that are inexpensive. Please just dont suggest the black hills- rather could you lead me to more specific areas,ect. I consider myself an experienced turkey hunter- so a guide would not be needed.
Turkey Hunting Photo Contest (post them here)
seamonster1 replied to Art Barbarians's topic in Turkey Hunting24lb 9in beard taken in 342 on Friday- see other posts in stories. Photo is with my 2year old future hunting partner.
All right, who got one this morning?
seamonster1 replied to setterguy's topic in Turkey Huntingyesterday had 2 gogglers hened up on the next hillside- could see them strutting away.Got one of them to come down and 1/2 way up my hill only to stop 100yds away. think they could see my truck. So this morning set up the hill they were on- no gobbling at 8 thought to myself- are they here and silent or not here and should i move.One last yelp before i go- yep, 30 yds under he lets out his first gobble. Alright I think, I'm in a blind so grap the gun and wait. his head goes back out of sight and i wait 20 minutes no more gobbles.Do I talk or not? I decide to sit tight.another 20 minutes and nothing. i promised myslef to be patient this year and not get "busted" like i have so many times. so another 20minutes. nothing still- ok now I'm getting impatient. One last yelp and time to give it up. No response. So decide to crawl out of blind on opposite side. As i'm doing this, what do I see his head coming over the hill-I pull the gun under the blind and sit still. He comes within 15 feet of the blind- I jump out from behind the blind and let him have it. Boys don't let your impatience get the best of you!

Figures recently released by the Department of Education show Park High's A level performance is in the top ten in London
Two Harrow Schools in London's top ten for A Level performance
Park High School in Stanmore and Canons High School in Edgware have both featured among the top ten performing schools in London, in figures released by the Department for Education.
"Level 3 Value Added" tables published on 12th February show that, of the 2000-plus schools and colleges in England who enter students for A Levels and whose results have been published, Park High is placed 8th nationally and Canons High, 25th. Both schools are in London's top 10.
Lynn Rowlands, Headteacher of Canons High School, said: "The outstanding progress made by our Sixth Form students is a source of great pride for us and for the local community. We are delighted that the vast majority have achieved a place at the university of their choice. We thank our students and our superb staff for all their hard work".
Emlyn Lumley, Headteacher of Park High School, agreed, saying: "The hard work and dedication of staff and students deserve this recognition. We are thrilled that our schools and colleges have done so well. All of Harrow should be proud of the progress made in our sixth forms."
Both Canons High and Park High also made the London top 10 for AS Level progress.
Bob Blackman, MP for Harrow East was delighted that students who live in his constituency are spoilt for choice when it comes to A Level studies, with two of the capital's top ten schools in adjacent wards. "These results are fantastic news for the schools, their pupils, and for Harrow. I am very proud to have two such distinguished schools in my constituency and would like to publicly congratulate each of them. This Government has made a commitment to improving standards in Education and these two academy status schools are greatly contributing to that".

...kinda funny that this hit my thoughts on election day, but here goes....
Protection: a word divided into 3 sections, for sure not dictionary approved but for blogging and my minds eye here is what it is worth.
Pro-as in professional
TECT- as in knowledge
Ion- as in active
Funny how this word conjures up: experience, knowledge and action. So many different thought also flood my mind, negative thoughts of protection. The act of covering up or smothered, observing, private times, caution. Then you can say well, positive thoughts are the act of caring, real love, liberties, freedom to express and abilities.
Growing up I had a mixture of both but I mainly focused on the negative. Our parents were very protective of us three kids, to the point that many times I felt (just like our girls did) that I could not be trusted to make good decisions. I felt that my desires to try new things always were conditioned to safety and monetary issues. Of which the later was usually the first on the priority list. Yet still as a young girl my desires to be on the drama team or join Girl Scouts were never about money, but ran alongside my mothers schedule. You see, she had the bulk of raising us kids and since I was 7 n 8 yrs older than my siblings, she was tied down to other responsibilities. Of course I didn't "get that" until I was in my 20's. I understood that they loved and cared for me.
Then I suddenly felt the negative side of protection slide away. I became a parent at the age of 22 and started the same path that my parents took with me...PROTECTION. I also knew that I needed to change the way I protected our children. I had just gave Christ my whole life, complete surrender so I knew that FAITH IN HIM was the key to protecting my children. How do I protect yet not smother them? Steve was so much better in "letting them go" with little increments of trust and faith and when it deemed right for the occasion. I on the other hand, wanting to do what is right, would find myself fighting inside over the "what if's" that never came! i.e. our youngest going to a Texas Ranger game with her sweet friend Jessica. Steve assured me that her parents would watch her closely...yet my tiny 1st grader was (I assured myself in fret) going to get lost in the sea of thousands of people. I had her face on the 10 o'clock news before she ever left the house!
For along time I so worried about things that I realized I was missing out on experiences and would relay that to my children. Life almost stopped for me, short of living life to it's fullest with a large dash of wisdom thrown in I almost missed out. That is when Christ revealed to me my long time issues on TRUST. I had to trust Him in all areas of life. I am afraid that my negative feelings of protection transferred to our daughters to some extent. For this I apoligize girls.
Jesus said "do not worry about tomorrow while it is today." I started heeding that advise. Now when I think of PROTECTION I first see God. I see the positive side, why? Because God to me represents: love, trust, truth, strength and forever. I remind myself that this is real protection, yet sometimes I throw ole Mr. What-If into the mix and almost always he really never shows up!
Easter Sunday as I led my 1st graders into telling me their favorite stories of Jesus, they had all forgotten the story of Jesus and the little children. I said, "remember all the kids wanted to be near Jesus and the disciples started shewing them away, yet Jesus said (1st grade version) "Whoa, wait one minute, let the children stay with me." One sweet little girl very boldly said "that's because Jesus is never to busy for anyone."
And she is right- never to busy to deal with my worried thoughts of "what-ifs", never to busy to hear and heal cancer patients or broken marriages, never to busy to stop and hear us complain or praise, never to busy to watch over our military or cover a car with His protection so an accident does not occur. Never to busy for me....now that is PROTECTION PERSONIFIED!

It's almost midday and very hot when we get to Brazos Bend and head for the picnic area near 40 Acre Lake. The trees look beautiful draped in Spanish moss, and several American Crows watch us while we eat.
I stroll down to the fishing jetty to look out over a lake largely covered with lily pads. The alligator that hangs out near the jetty is there again as usual.
We set out to walk clockwise round the lake and immediately come across a Purple Gallinule in the vegetation on the left of the path.
We usually see several Gallinules on this edge of the lake in the summer but they normally disappear into the reeds as soon as they notice us. Luckily this particular bird is not at all shy.
The wet area on the left has other birds, too. Just a few yards from the Gallinule, a White Ibis watches us as we pass by.
A Great Blue Heron with wonderfully colored shoulder patches freezes in place.
There are Common Moorhen everywhere on both sides of the path, the males' plumage looking splendid in the sunlight.
There are Moorhen chicks of all ages and sizes.
Further along we come across a couple of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks and then a young White Ibis.
The trees are busy with Northern Cardinals, Red-winged Blackbirds and Great-tailed Grackles while both sides of the trail have Little Blue Herons.
A young Yellow-crowned Night Heron stands motionless.
A Great Egret creeps silently and elegantly as it watches for signs of movement in the water.
A single Anhinga perching on a tree on the other side of the lake suddenly flies off and across the path ahead of us.
We watch as an alligator swims several yards completely under water in an attempt to catch a juvenile Moorhen off guard but slinks off - still under water - when a parent calls the youngster to safety.
Another alligator is being much sneakier and is virtually invisible under the pond scum and a mud headdress.
When we reach the observation tower, we watch another Great Blue Heron fishing as we try to decide whether to continue round the lake or to retrace our footsteps.
We don't see any new Gallinules but, surprisingly, the one we saw earlier is still prowling around in exactly the same place as before. Like all members of the rail family, it has enormous feet, allowing it to move easily on muddy ground and even to walk on lily pads.
It is still sharing the area with a White Ibis.

Gov't-funded cultural services to flourish across China

Cultural services in China are set to expand across the whole country with a government bid to bridge the gap between big cities and the countryside.
Reading rooms, museums and mini theatres are among the many facilities the government is building for the benefit of ordinary residents at community and village levels.
According to a state law, the country aims to carry forward "the traditions of Chinese culture and cultural confidence" through the construction of an inclusive public cultural services system.
The law stipulates that public cultural services must be "people-oriented", and urges governments from county-level and above to improve community cultural service centers, build more of them and offer more products online.

Christmas was coming. I knew that.
I was little, maybe two or three years old, or maybe even a bit younger. We lived in the Victorian house that my great-grandfather had built about 1900, in an apartment upstairs, while great-grandpa (we just called him Grandpa) and one of his bachelor sons, "Uncle Goose", lived downstairs. After Grandpa died, we were still there until I was about 4, and "Uncle Goose" remained downstairs. Part of the downstairs was rented out to Ollie and his wife, Dell, after Grandpa was gone.
A leaded glass front door led into the entry hall, with its polished hardwood floor and paneling, and to the stairs that were in the witches peak. A desk was under the staircase, along with a wooden chair with a padded seat. A tall grandfather clock, with a ship rocking on waves, a moon, and a smiling sun, stood by the door that led into the dining room and library. Sliding pocket doors that matched the wood paneling led into the parlor that served as my mother's music room. She had her baby grand piano in that lovely room with its wide, tall windows, and wood paneling.
At Christmas time, there was debate about whether to put a large cedar tree in the landing on the stairs, where it could be seen through the windows in the witches peak, or whether to put it in the big front window in the music room. The music room could handle a big tree best. I remember trees in both places, as well as in the dining room, and a small one upstairs. I also remember debates about whether to buy new electric lights, or using candles. I do remember having candles on the tree when it was in the dining room. My mother was concerned about a possible fire, but the older folks were used to candles. They did agree that some houses had burned as a result of a tree being too dry and the candles touching the branches.
But, this particular year, there were electric lights, and the tree was in the music room.
Sometimes, when Mama practiced, she would let me play in the music room, or sit with her when she played the piano. Sometimes, she had young students in for piano lessons, and ladies came to sing with her for solos at church or in programs in town. But, often, I was a little pest, wanting attenion, and doing everything I could think of so that my mother would pay attention to me, and not to those other people or her piano. And, those times, I was urged to go out and play, or to stay upstairs, go to my grandmother's house next door, or to just sit quietly out in the hall until she was through. And, there I might sit, on the steps or on the chair, pouting, squirming, or creeping up to the keyhole to see what was happening in the other room. I hoped that Mama would feel sorry for me, and invite me back in.
In this year that I am remembering, I was sitting out on the steps in the hall a lot. I walked up and down the stairs, thinking of how I might just be able to jump over to the chandelier over the hall, and swing, Tarzan style, down the stairs and across the hall. That might be more exciting than sliding down the banister, or sitting down and bumping all the way down the stairs. Then, I returned to the lower steps, impatiently waiting for my mother.
"Why don't you try to think of what you want Santa Claus to bring you. It won't be long until Christmas,"my mother had suggested something to keep me busy. A doll was at the top of my list. I also wanted a horse, a tea set, a little table and chairs, some pretty clothes and shoes.
"How about a rocking horse? You're too little for a horse, yet,"my mother told me.
Back then, there were beautifully carved, prancing or raring up, horses, more like carousel horses than the simple wooden or plastic things of today. You could imagine that those were real horses with delicate details in their nostrils and on their manes, even their teeth and tongues. A beautiful rocking horse would be okay. I could ride that indoors and in bad weather.
Mama was busy upstairs and I walked down the staris to look at the Christmas tree, sliding the doors open as quietly as I could. It was almost Christmas and I was getting more excited.
There was the beautiful tree, with it's glass balls shining and candy canes and ornaments standing out against the green tree. But, in front of the side window, there was the most gorgeous carved wooden rocking horse imaginable. It was carved from dark wood and every detail stood out. I ran my fingers over the mane and the teeth, and put my hand inside its mouth. I walked around the horse and touched the tail and the hooves. The rockers were even finished to match the rest of the horse. It was a little bit too big for me, but that was alright. I would grow to it quickly and I could still climb up on the horse. Did I dare to actually climb up on the horse and rock on it? My heart was pounding. I did. I climbed on the horse and felt like I was racing along in the fields on my loyal steed. My hair would be blowing in the wind as we raced along, in my imagination. Across the lawn and the field, I could see the trees that lined the driveway at my grandmother's house. I could have my horse gallop across there with ease to go see what Grandma was doing. At least, I could in my imagination.
"I had better not stay on here too long," I told myself.
"Cecelia! Cecelia! You'd better get back up here!" My mother was calling.
I tip toed out of the music room and carefully slid the doors back together. I hoped that I had left the horse in the same position that I had found it. I closed the front door, so that my mother would think that I was coming in from outside, and ran up the stairs. I didn't mention a word about seeing the rocking horse.
"You haven't been in the music room, have you?" she demanded.
"No. I've been outside," I looked at my shoes.
"Good. I want you to stay out of that room. Do you hear me?" she was cutting out a dress with the material spread on the bed. Straight pins were in her mouth and the big scissors were in her hand.
"Okay," I mumbled.
After that, the sliding doors to the music room stayed closed. I still peeked in the keyhole or under the doors, from time to time, to admire my magnificent horse.
"I'm going to get a rocking horse for Christmas," I told my mother one day. "Santa Claus has already been here. It's downstairs by the Christmas tree."
"No your'e not! Not the way you've been acting!" my mother insisted.
I thought that she was just trying to hide the rocking horse from me, and, Christmas Eve night, we would go downstairs to the Christmas tree, and there would be my horse.
"Okay, there is a rocking horse down there, but it is not for you. We're keeping that for another child in town. " Daddy explained.
" I don't believe it. That's my horse!" I argued.
"Well, young lady, you can believe it or not, but that horse is for someone else. And you stay out of there!" Daddy said.
I still didn't believe them. I longed for the magical night when I would get my beautiful rocking horse, with the wonderful carved wood. I sat on the steps, staring at the sliding doors to the music room, wishing that it would hurry up and be Christmas Eve. Time just dragged by. I still wasn't allowed in the music room, even when Mama practiced, and I couldn't seem to sneak in there, either. Mama was everywhere.
Finally, Christmas Eve arrived. Daddy and all the rest of the family had to stay at the store as long as there were customers, but we waited on them to arrive and have our tree.
"Aren't they ever coming?" I kept asking impatiently.
Mama gave me a candy candle stick to keep me busy. I put it on the floor and jumped over it, repeatedly, saying, "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the candle stick". And then I would jump over the candle stick as far across the room as I could. And, in between jumps, I would go to the window and see if any of the family might be driving across the railroad tracks from town.
I finally stretched out on the bed and went to sleep.
When Daddy came home, he carried me downstairs to the music room, where the family was gathered. Grandma, Grandpa, Thelma, Irvin, "Pappy", "Uncle Tom", "Toot", "Honey", and Mama. "Uncle Goose" was in the basement, listening to the radio and drinking his beer.
I sleepily took the presents that were handed to me, and just wanted to go back to sleep. I tried to open my eyes, looking for my horse.
It wasn't there. My horse was gone. Daddy collected my gifts. A little bracelet, some socks with lace, a dress with a pinafore, some shoes, a book, some scrap books of pictures that my mother had made for me, and the big thing was a rubber doll that had a bottle with it. We could put liquid in the bottle and it would run through the doll, wetting its pants.
"But, where's my horse?" I whined.
"I told you that horse was not for you. It was for another little girl. And, besides, that horse was too big for you." Daddy carried me upstairs and put me in my baby bed. I tried to cry, but I was too sleepy.
The next day, I pouted and longed for my rocking horse. I played with my doll, pouring water through it, time after time. The two diapers that came with the doll didn't last very long, so water was ending up on the floor. The doll was soon banished to outdoors, when I fed it, and, indoors, the bottle was put up.
I never knew who got that beautiful horse, but they sure must have had a wonderful Christmas. They couldn't have loved that horse any more than I did, though. I never got such a wonderful rocking horse, either.
There was a wooden Lone Ranger's horse, "Silver", at the obstretician/pediatrician's office in Marlin. Dr. Davison's office was like a cozy house, with a cukoo clock in the waiting room. There was a play room for children off the main sitting room. A wonderful room with big book shelves and toys. Of course, the thing that children had to learn to take turns with was "Silver". We worked out turns with one person riding and the other children acting as cowboys and Indians, pretending to gallop around the room and play out a cowboy story. No one wanted to get off the horse when the doctor was ready for them. There was also an interesting spinning top and a jack in the box, along with puzzles and other toys in the room. It was nice, but it didn't totally take away the fear of waiting to see the doctor.
When my sister was a baby, our parents did get her a rocking horse that was like two cut out horses, done in pretty pastel colors, with a seat in between it. It had a "seat belt" in it, so the baby could sit and rock. My friends and I would squeeze into the rocking horse, so we could ride, too.
Later, when my son was small, I thought it would be a wonderful thing to carve a rocking horse for him. Not a plain one like they had in the stores, but a beautiful, dark, wooden horse like I thought I was getting. I never tried it. I'm not so sure that I could carve such a realistic animal. It would probably have taken many trees before I could get it to look anything like a horse. Now, clay might be another matter!
I got one of those plastic jumping horses for my daughter, when she was small. It looked nice, except for the springs on the side. I thought those might be dangerous, if a child fell sideways into them. I didn't know just how dangerous that horse was! It didn't get the child, but it sure got me!
One day, I was walking down the mobile home steps, carrying a basket of laundry. The horse was beside the steps. The steps tilted and I fell across the horse. I didn't know it, but my ribs had a hairline crack. Much later, I was trying to pull an air conditioner across the floor where some men had left it. I had such pain that I couldn't get up. I thought I was going to have to call the police to help me out of bed. X-rays, later, revealed that I had a hairline fracture in my ribs, and, when I pulled on that air conditioner, they separated. The horse was fine, though!
Be sure to look at the links in my side bar, and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to see my new Guest Book. You can even add a picture there if you would like to share some of your art work for others to see.
I hope that your Christmas was a truly wonderful one, and that you got the things that you dreamed that Santa would bring you. And, above all, that the children in your life got the things they hoped for. I hope that their rocking horses didn't go to someone else!
One gift that we got here was a spectacular sunset! Gorgeous colors to end Christmas Day.
Thank you for reading and for sharing. Let me know if you see something of interest.

Warhammer End Times - Vermintide
/ 10th of October 2015
Oh bloody hell, another sodding Warhammer game! Look, I'll be honest, I'm not the world's biggest Left 4 Dead fan, I've played through each scenario three times at most, and once for the majority of them. That's really about enough for me, I could never get into it, possibly because I only have one friend, luckily then, I managed to find him in order to play Left 4 Warhammer: RATMEN! or Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide as Fat Shark have named their latest Left 4 Dead aping, ratman smashing, magic slinging, flintlock pistol shooting venture. Are you with me so far? Good.
Ok, let's begin with the bad, technically it's very unstable. Yes this is the Beta, but supposedly the release is in 17 days (at the time of writing). Maybe the current Beta patch isn't representative of the current in-house version. I hope not, because it's a bit of a mess. The UI doesn't scale to 4k properly, it sits in the middle of the screen as if a 1080p monitor somehow forced its way into your display in order to present the HUD, and ended up handling everything else instead. The game also runs terribly. It's a pretty nice looking game, though it's not Crysis 3 nice, or Metal Gear Solid 5 nice and nor does it even equate to a Witcher 3 level of aesthetic beauty either, so I struggle to see how the high settings can somehow bring my machine to its knees. Yes, I know it's a Beta, but every time a game runs this poorly this close to release it's basically irreparable before that date actually comes. I've NEVER seen a developer manage anything to the contrary, their endeavours always end up requiring numerous post-release patches, and it still never quite gets there. On the plus side though, the game looks perfectly acceptable on low settings and runs great there, so if you don't really care for the bells and whistles and 4k, it'll work fine. Now that the technical stuff is out of the way for the one person who gives a shit (me), let's move onto the actual game itself.
Ultimately, it's Left 4 Dead but Warhammer. There's no way around it, that's what it is, I cannot think of a core mechanic of the game that isn't straight out of Turtle Rock's co-op zombie slaughter fest, right down to healing friendlies or yourself with Medkits, along with the majority of the game's Special Infected Ratmen. Though there's no way around this, but it's also not a problem as Left 4 Dead is good, I know it's good despite not being a huge fan of it, and while the core mechanics are cut and dry, cut copy and paste, there's a lot of differentiation in the setting, themes and other mechanics which really manages to set the two games apart.
Each of the five characters (yes, five) - though you can only have four at once - plays very differently, the variation and diversity here is in who you choose to play - and how you equip them (more on that below) - from The Stabby Elven rogue, the hardy Dwarven ranger, the pistoleering Witch Hunter, the heavy meleeing Mercenary to the surprisingly complex Fire Wizard. The patter between them all as they work their way through medieval city streets is another pleasant nod to Left 4 Dead, it's very light on back story but you learn to like their quips, their back and forths and their general idle chatter with each other, you may even half expect the Witch Hunter to start talking about how much he loved Kiddieland when he was just an initiate, it's all very charming, which seems to be par for the course for modern Warhammer game dialogue.
While so much of this game is right out of the Valve published co-op opus, there's a great range of diversity in how you play and it can tend to feel a bit more like a traditional MMORPG party, some of the characters can bring a shield and literally tank some of the bigger enemies, the Wizard harms herself if she goes too crazy with magic, making her an interesting glass-canon type. Unsurprisingly, this is all tonnes more interesting than L4D's Battle Rifle versus Combat Shotgun debate.
With that diversity of playing styles comes a fairly diverse set of scenarios (so far anyway, the Beta is only allowing players the first three). It's not as diverse as Left 4 Dead 2, in fact every single one of them takes place at night, and the colour grading that provides makes it all feel a bit "Grimdark", hopefully the other scenarios will add more variety as the last thing any Games Workshop product needs is to take it's setting too seriously.
As mentioned above, you can equip your characters. You get some random loot for finishing a mission, this is improved depending on your difficulty and performance - supposedly, annoyingly, I have only ever gotten bows for the elf, despite never playing her but there's something there if you like progression systems. Additional items are unlocked as you continue to play that will change the play style of the characters and this brings further diversity to the experience. There's basically an MMORPG hidden in there, a somewhat basic one, but it's there….but then what game doesn't have that these days? On the subject of its MMO elements, it would've been nice to get a bit more character customisation. For all the lack of a shit I give about Borderlands 2, you could play the same character with the same gender and the same name, but at least you could've give them a new haircut. Maybe I'm asking for too much, but when a game is so clearly designed to have an RPG layer, a bit of customisation to give me some emotional investment would really help a lot.
I genuinely wish I liked Left 4 Dead more, because I think that it, with a side helping of fantasy combat would be right up my street. I had fun during the time I spent with Vermintide but I hit the same wall I did with Left 4 Dead, it feels like I'm repeating the same things over and over as there are so few scenarios to play through, there will eventually be thirteen, so it remains to be seen if they'll be diverse enough to not feel quite so repetitious.
The bottom line though, I suppose, is if you like Left 4 Dead and want a bit more diversity then I can highly recommend it. If you like Left 4 Dead and Warhammer Fantasy then I think you're going to shit yourself with glee. However, f you have no friends like me, then you'll probably just want to avoid it. As a final aside though, it's only £23 as opposed to the £30-40 bracket most PC games seem to now be in, so it might be worth a punt even if you're not totally sold on the premise.

The PIC 16F627 is a fairly good replacement device for the 16F84 as it has a
lot of usable built in peripherals but it has the same amount of program memory
as the 16F84 i.e. 1k. So if you are running out of memory space then I suggest
you use a 16F628 as it has twice the program
Note : You may be ok as the RAM is larger so the C compiler will have more room to manoeuver so try it out on the compiler first and simulate your program.
The 16F84 has 1 peripheral (Timer 0) whereas the PIC16F627 has:
(i.e. the same peripherals as the 16F628)
Another feature is that you can switch it from internal 4MHz to slow speed internal 37kHz on the fly so you can used it in power sensitive applications.
Its best feature is
This is nearly four times as much as the 16F84 and, for high level language use, this makes it much easier to use as it is the resource the you run out of most quickly.
Jump to bubble diagram device list.
For a peripheral block summary click here.
The 16F627 is only really missing an ADC and I2C capability but to use it effectively you are really going to have trouble with its limited program memory - the 16F628 or 16F88 are better choices.
Note : You may be ok as the RAM is larger so the C compiler will have more room to manoeuver so do try it out on the compiler first and simulate your program.
You could program I2C by soft coding in C (see this project) and you could use an external ADC but you will probably run out of program memory space.

The election over the weekend left a wake of shock, despair and euphoria. Like the thunder, the people's voice was more than loud and clear. It demanded attention with such forceful tone.
As the dust settled after the pouring rain, it was funny to see how different people reacted, rather than reconciled to the new political climate. There were some behaving with such dignity, accepting defeat, more importantly responsibility and bow out gracefully. They are moving on chin up. There were some simply being juvenile, no, more like childish, pulling pranks, throwing tantrums and refusing to face the music and playing hide-and-seek. Obviously, they have a lot more of growing up to do.
And me?
Just as the country was overwhelmed by the momentous outcome and pondering on the days to come, I resolved to my own therapeutic treatment to calm myself down.
I baked. I made a batch of carrot walnut muffins.

Yesterday my Mum had her second hip replacement operation in 7 months. She has just turned 77 and has suffered from severe arthritis for many years. Pain has been a constant in her life, just as it now is in mine.
Yesterday morning I was suddenly very worried that Mum may not survive this operation even though she breezed through her earlier hip operation in June 2008.
I think I had these doubts because three Mums I know of died in December - my m-i-l in early December, a very good friend's Mum in NZ on Christmas Eve and one of my workmates Mum on Boxing Day.
So I would like to give thanks that she came through with flying colours yet again.
Mum I hope you have a trouble free recovery and that with 2 new hips your spine ceases to degenerate and that the pain is reduced significantly. I know it can never go away unless you undertake risky spinal surgery, but I am positive that now your body is more evenly balanced again that the vertebrae will more easily align and so the pain will be reduced. I look forward to having my Mum mobile again - no more motorbike leg now!
My blog expresses my views and thoughts and in no way intends to offend however that does not guarantee it wont.
I write in a stream of consciousness and sometimes the odd typo or bad grammar may appear - please excuse these.

When I watched the first Madagascar, I had low expectations. Some of those low expectations were met: the animation was unimpressive and the moral was derivative and predictable. And yet I liked it. The penguins and Mort (the lemur with unnaturally big eyes) stole the show.
Going into the second Madagascar film I again had low expectations (in part due to this trailer and its soundtrack). As far as I could tell, the animation didn't improve much in this film. But that doesn't bother me so much. Again, the morals were predictable and cliché. But really, what do expect from a movie for kids?
Perhaps my memory is murky, but I think this film had more subtle messages about homosexuality (a male character dresses in drag and asks other characters if they're attracted to him, a hippo and a giraffe fall in love and the audience is briefly tricked into believing that they get married [1], etc.).
My verdict: Not quite as good as the first movie, but still enjoyable. If you're a concerned parent, be prepared to discuss some issues with your children.
[1] This isn't a direct reference to homosexuality, but it could be construed to teach children that it's okay to think outside of traditional marriage structures. I'm also of the opinion that the Disney film Brother Bear teaches children that it's okay to change your physical body to match "who you are inside" (i.e. sex reassignment surgeries). And Shark Tale can be construed to mean that it's okay to indulge in homosexual tendencies and parents should be more tolerant of it.

Ethiopian Religious Leaders Address Irregular Migration
IOM and Ethiopia's National Council against Human Trafficking and Smuggling have organized a consultative meeting with religious leaders on irregular migration.
The 25 religious leaders (Muslim, Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical and Seventh Day Adventist) participated in the meeting came from Addis Ababa, Amhara, Oromia, Tigray and the Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples (SNNP) regions.
The aim of the meeting was to actively involve major religious institutes in the fight against irregular migration. The selected regions are known as source areas for irregular migration.
Participants acknowledged that awareness of the personal risks taken by migrants has now reached the grassroots level. But the lack of alternative livelihood options is still a major problem. They agreed to work closely with IOM and the government to prevent irregular migration and to promote alternative livelihoods.
The meeting was supported by IOM's European Union-funded protection project, which aims to support governmental and non-governmental partners to protect migrants' human rights along the East Africa migration route. The project is also supported by the governments of the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland.

Collaborating with FIDM has been a lot of fun. We're breaking new ground by colliding two worlds together in such a unique way, said Signal's CEO Dave Lee. We are going from concept to design and onto the runway! A fun project for all involved.
(PRWEB) May 16, 2013
Eleven excited FIDM Graphic Design students were thrilled to have been involved in a special industry collaboration with Huntington Beach, California-based Signal Snowboards, who recently collaborated with the fashion college on a special industry partnership, creating custom boards for the runway. The snowboards were unveiled to 10,000 people over three days at FIDM's DEBUT Runway Show in Santa Monica, California.
"Collaborating with FIDM has been a lot of fun. We're breaking new ground by colliding two worlds together in such a unique way," said Signal's CEO Dave Lee. "We are going from concept to design and onto the runway! A fun project for all involved."
FIDM's annual fashion gala, held at the Barker Hangar, features designs by graduating students in FIDM's Fashion Design and Theatre Costume Design Advanced Study Programs as well as work from Interior Design and Textile Design students. Models wearing winter action sports attire designed by FIDM Advanced Fashion Design Student Kelly Knagg carried the 11 boards, along with a special concept board, down the runway.
Graphic Design students were able to visit Signal Snowboards' headquarters to get a first-hand look at how Signal builds their boards from start to finish. Signal is celebrating its 10th year of business and has gained fans via its popular Every Third Thursday online series, which shows off the company's manufacturing process and transforms unusual materials (xylophone keys and Legos, for example) into one-of-a-kind custom snowboards.
FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising is a co-educational, specialized, private college dedicated to educating students for the Fashion, Graphics, Interior Design, and Entertainment industries. Known as a one of the top fashion design schools, FIDM is also a leading graphic design school and digital media college. Visit fidm.edu for more information.

Learning to wait
There has been times in my life that I really wanted something, really ,really bad. I ask God for it then before he can move I start to move, I start trying to fix it, trying to get it, trying to make things happen that I have asked God for. But it never comes through my way, but..... when I ask, believing,(Matt 21v22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.") Trusting God and not trying to figure it out (Proverbs 3v5 Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding) knowing that God is in charge & the mintue that I ask the Angels are on it. My mind & soul is at peace, it all works out.. When you wait on God ( Psalm 27v14Wait for the Lord be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

other photographers
Just home from Houston where I spoke to the photo forum (including Anne Wilkes Tucker) about my work in Marfa. The best part of the night was getting to meet two photographers whom I have a lot of respect for. Peter Granser has been working in Texas on a new project and was leaving for Germany the next day. I am crazy about his photographs and as soon as I landed home I bought his latest book Coney Island which will be out of print in no time. He has an eye like Stephen Shore and a calm, pleasant spirit about him. The best kind of photographer--a rare breed really. Robb Kendrick was the headliner. He could not have been nicer. His portraits of cowboys are gorgeous and the end result on a tin type are stunning. Lucky guy lives in San Miquel with his wife and two kids.

I'm a bit busy with offline work, so apologies for the lazy posting…
A Key Moment
There's a LTTE in the RG today, concerning the lack of close-captioning on local television, which I thought interesting.
It's perhaps a little known fact that I first got into 'formal' politics to improve things for special needs students at my undergraduate university. Having special needs myself, although relatively minor compared to others (a form of dyslexia/dyspraxia, primarily auditory), I ran for, and was elected to, the Trent University's Student Union as their Special Needs Commissioner.
I'm far from an expert on the issues affecting the impaired in our population – I'm not even sure of the politically correct terms to be frank – it remains one of my main concerns, politically speaking. It was part of what got me involved, politically, and it's something I intend to keep central to my continuing activism.
Comments on the LTTE
As I'm a little busy, but I thought it an important issue, here's my comments to that letter, in the hope of encouraging discussion on this, and related, issues.
The hearing impaired are faced at a great disadvantage above and beyond the lack of close-captioning on our TV.
The TV's mounted at the bus station appear to have been out of action for years now; they should be used to communicate information (schedules, strikes, accidents, public service announcements) to the benefit of hearing impaired – and also of benefit to our visitors, unfamiliar with our public transport systems.
A similar system on the buses itself, to indicate key stops/landmarks and public announcements would also be of benefit for the hearing impaired and visitors.
The recent announcements to send text-messages out to cell-phone users concerning hurricanes and EMO announcements is good, and this should be of particular use for the hearing impaired – I don't know if the existing service is free or not, but I hope it is for the hearing impaired and seniors.
I understand that there is a device that attaches to the dashboard of cars, which identifies emergency vehicles sirens and provides a visible signal, allowing hearing impaired (and this could benefit also those who listen to loud music!) to know when to take action in advance, rather than being caught out at the last second only when the emergency vehicle and its lights are visible.
In addition to close-captioning, it would be advisable to have sign-language interpreters for at least our local channels programming (the news, mostly).
Personally, I believe that every front-line part of Government Departments should have someone capable of communicating in sign-language (American Sign Language – ASL – is the dominant one in Bermuda) to facilitate this – and ASL should be offered as a second language option in our school system.
Quite frankly, there's a lot of work that needs done to make our island a less discriminating one against those of our population (and visitors) with various impairments.
As far as I can see, this is every much a civil-rights issue as the days of racial segregation – and one might even argue that our society maintains a form of segregation towards those in our population with various impairments.
