Isis Manning
Have you ever been in awe of someone's style? This does not happen to me often, but Isis Manning's style caught my eye on Instagram. Her attention to detail and edge create a perfect combination. She dresses trendy, yet still holds true to her personal style. I love the way that Isis wants to stay local and work with all of the amazing people from Kansas City, Missouri. It is not not often that you find people who want to give back, but Ms. Isis Manning is one of those amazing individuals. Stylists come a dime a dozen, but Isis is something special. Keep reading to learn a little bit more about Isis Manning!
Who have your worked for/with? Who would you like to work for/with?
I have worked with BMS and currently I am working with Jordan Williams as a image consultant for Keefe Cravat. I would love to work with KC Fashion Week. I love supporting my city by working with local business owners. What motivated you to become a stylist?
My motivation was my childhood. I was never that pretty or well dressed a huge tomboy. I worked with what I had. Now I use it to my advantage & I wear it with confidence. Confidence means to be bold, daring, and free. It's something you can not buy, borrow or lend. It's personal growth that nobody can determine but you. I want other girls and women to grow from their perfect imperfections. It motivates me to motivate others. I find inspiration in God and my future. His grace humbles me. When it comes to my styling, I try to be better than I was yesterday and last year. Growth is always key.
|Isis Manning
Describe your style. Who is your fashion icon? My overall style is so diverse that I don't believe that there is a name to combine it all in one category. My style is vintage, urban, and chic. My fashion icon is Ciara. Ever since goodies I had to have my baggy boy pants & crop top. That is my favorite combo! She makes boy clothes look good and I love it! Now we are both evolving to women with more class but still have the sass when necessary.
Pick what item from your closet that describes you.
If I had to pick an item from my closet to describe me it would be something neon because its vibrant, loud and eye catching.
Who is your favorite designer?
My favorite designer is Balmain. The looks give me everything. I love the styles are similar but never repeated.
What is your favorite season to shop for?
My favorite seasons to shop for are spring and winter. Spring because it is so fun & innocent, gives me chances to really showcase color. Winter because it is such a challenge to try to be cute & stay warm at the sometime.
|Isis Manning
What career advice do you have for TheeFashionStories readers?
My career advice would be don't think just do it & think afterwards how great it was that you did it. Be bold and make you work for you. Just because someone else can pull something off doesn't mean you can and always remember to switch it up.
How can TheeFashionStories readers contact you?
Readers can contact through email email@example.com.
Isis thank you for an awesome, detailed interview. I look forward to seeing you while I am in Kansas City, Missouri and maybe even working together on a project. I am a huge fan and can't wait to see what's next for you. The possibilities are endless for you! Keep up the good work!
Much Love,

10 Things Food Servers Must Consider
Food service providers often tend to ignore the activities that occur before, during and after serving customers. Handling and preparation of food are very important, but we need to ensure that precautions are taken when serving our food. This applies to both serving in large quantities at home and at a restaurant.
1 Ensure that potentially hazardous temperature-sensitive foods are held at temperatures of 57°C (135°F) or hotter for hot foods. Hot-holding equipment (equipment used to keep food warm) must be designed in a manner that allows it to keep food at this temperature or hotter. This equipment must not be used to reheat food; food must be removed and reheated and then placed in the hot-holding equipment to be served. Cold food that is potentially hazardous must be held at 5°C (41°F) or colder and cold-holding equipment must be used that can maintain this temperature or colder. Also, make sure a thermometer is available to monitor the temperature of foods at least every three hours.
2 Food being served must be covered with covers and sneeze guards to protect from contaminants.
3 Try as best as possible to prepare food in small batches to avoid having food being held for long periods of time. If this cannot be avoided, ensure food is stored at the correct temperature for the recommended times. One tip is to label the holding containers with the time food was brought out, to monitor holding times.
4 All serving utensils must be cleaned, sanitised and stored in the food with the handle extended above the container rim; this must be clean and sanitised. Try to avoid storing utensils in containers with water; if this is done, change water at least every three hours. If utensils will not be wrapped, please ensure that they are placed on tables with clean surfaces or a clean tablecloth.
5 Do not use your bare hands to serve food; use disposable gloves if hands are being used and "dispose" of these gloves once you move from your work station or switch tasks. Do not cross-contaminate allergens such as nuts, shellfish, etc with other foods. Ice must be served with tongs or scoops.
6 For servers, of course you must practise good personal hygiene, such as wearing clean clothes and hair restraints and washing hands frequently and properly. Ensure you hold dishes by the bottom or edges; glasses by the middle, bottom or stem; and eating utensils by the handles. Avoid touching the food contact areas of dishes and glassware.
7 Glasses must be carried in a tray or on a rack and not stacked on each other. This is a common assault for many and must be corrected; dishes must also be stored on a rack and not stacked when serving.
8 Ensure condiments are covered at all times; gravy must be kept in heat holding containers. Never re-serve opened food that has been returned such as fruits, garnishes and uneaten bread rolls. Only re-serve unopened, pre-packaged foods that are not potentially hazardous, such as condiment packets.
9 For food trucks, ensure that the vehicles are cleaned and sanitised regularly. All food contact surfaces must be cleaned and sanitised and the same rules for keeping food safe in your restaurant must apply. Make sure safe drinking water is available for cooking, washing of dishes and utensils and hand washing. If you are serving off-site and food must be delivered, ensure that inside the delivery vehicles are cleaned and sanitised regularly.
10 Ensure garbage disposal area is readily available and place containers away from food preparation and serving areas.

Our hope is that you think it's fun, that you learn along the way some do's about selling/buying your home and inevitably some don'ts through watching what we deal with everyday. But what I really hope you learn is that my team and I work hard to earn your trust to handle your investment and most personal possession...your home.

"All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the soul is not satisfied." Ecclesiastes 6:7 The work of man's hands may satisfy his immediate but not his ultimate need. Hard work is required for one to eat his bread and provide for his family. Yet there are needs beyond the immediate but requiring immediate attention. The deep longing within the soul is the discontent appearing to have no solution. It drives many to activities in search of relieving the tension and the endless desire of the heart. The mind seeks new adventures but after the episode has ended, the soul is left wanting more than what it had just experienced. This is the Jesus shaped void within every man that only He is able to fill. The fulfilled person can find pleasure in life thus integrating all of his labor into worship. God provides for him the strength to work as well as rest. His rest is sweet because his thoughts are established and not left to wander in the direction of things that may bring pleasure for a moment but misery for a lifetime.

Col 2:2-4 "I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know of God. Then you will have minds confident and at rest, focused on Christ, God's great mystery. (3) All the richest treasures of wisdom and knowledge are embedded in that mystery and nowhere else. And we've been shown the mystery! (4) I'm telling you this because I don't want anyone leading you off on some wild-goose chase, after other so-called mysteries, or "the Secret." (MSG) The knowledge of God connects as a woven tapestry of love. Each part finds its significance in the whole thus touching every aspect of each life. The problem lies in one trying to understand and find answers to the influx of life's questions apart from the Truth. It is there and has always existed, but that aspect of Christ yet to be known contains what is presently needed. Do not lose Christ yet to be known contains what is presently needed. Do not lose your focus on Him. When you do, you are out of focus. Other things may appear as more than they are. They are but smoking mirrors, tricks of the enemy to allure you away from your primary…

"God, my strength, my stronghold, my safe retreat when trouble descends." Jeremiah 16:19 (MSG) God does more than provide strength thus leaving us with the responsibility of knowing how to apply the pressure where most needed. He is our strength, upholding us when we are in our most weakened state, and warding off the enemies lurking around to take advantage of our vulnerabilities. As long as we maintain our focus on Jesus, He will fight our battles. And He upholds us with the right hand of His righteousness. When we enter into battle alone, we are prey to be devoured by one more force and shrewdness with experience in deceiving the self-confident. But when we humbly submit to the Lord, we are in the safest place we could possibly be. Trouble may bear down upon us as a storm that is out of control. Yet our God is our refuge in the time of trouble. God is my strength and security, and my sanctuary. I praise Him as my weapon of war, and worship Him as my place of rest.

"The earth is violently broken, the earth is split open; the earth is shaken exceedingly." Isaiah 24:17 The earth is violently disturbed as the result of the violent offenses measured against its Creator. It awaits the rule of the sons of God whose aim is to reflect the glory of Jesus Christ. Until then, it is held captive, not willingly but anticipating a liberty that will only come as the rule of the righteous. Some will grow bitter towards God because of the calamities that many inhabitants on the earth are now suffering. They will think of God as being cruel and unfair. But His judgments will ultimately bring an end to sins that often appear to be benign, but are the root cause of wars and all earthly calamities. The mark established by God is not the aim of many leaders who now lead many astray, thus sin runs its full course. He created the earth to be a habitation of rest and peace, but sin has left its mark and produced death. Pray that righteous rulers will arise in order for the people to rejoice because the Prince of Peace is ruling over them.

"Not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life." Hebrew 7:16 The High Priest, Melchizedek was a High Priest by the sheer force of resurrection life rather than mere genealogy. This was a different class of priesthood signifying an important future event. God's promise to us is an endless life. Jesus, who is the Begotten of the Father, was with the Father from the beginning. Those of us who are in Christ have entered into eternal life. He is our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. Nothing of the law could produce it. All of its fleshly commandments could only point out to us our deficiencies. So many are yet trying to compensate for what is lacking, thus giving them a false hope of resolving issues that are too deep for them to even fathom. In Jesus Christ, we have eternal life. To know Him is to take full possession of His promises. We die to our former state and the futile efforts of reforms to preserve our souls. We then rest in Him as being our sufficiency. It is His grace alone that saves us and delivers us from…

"For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day." 2 Timothy 1:12 The knowledge of God is the hinge on which all other truths believed must be attached to. When we know Him, we are in hot pursuit of knowing more because we are enabled to trust His Word that more is there for us. Not only does He provide for us what we need, but He also preserves all things committed to Him. Our blessings are not short-lived, but permanently established with the strength to endure the strain of offenses and the temptations of attractions that would restrict us from the endless enjoyment awaiting us in that Day of the Lord. We can rest in the fact that He is able to keep us and keep it secure. Thank God for His endless love that penetrates and preserves the things that matter most!

"Known to God from eternity are all His works." Acts 15:18-19 What may appear as a difficulty or even defeat for many who are engaged in the works of God is no more than a part of a sentence in a completed story. The script has been written and complete while each has entered onto the stage with an assignment. It is only when everything comes together as the Author has prearranged, will we fully understand the significance of portions that does not seem to make any sense. "Known to God from eternity are all His works." God has always known what He is about to do next in time because it is already established in eternity. This little stretch of time, in the vastness of eternity, is like a little boat in the sea. There is much more to life than we have been given to know and understand. That is why life often doesn't make sense. Some would think that God doesn't make any sense, because their judgments of Him are based upon the little knowledge made known to man. God's will is that we participate with Him in what He is doing. There we will find both…

"…and you will find rest for your souls."Jeremiah 6:16; Matthew 11:29 It is not established paths that causes constant disturbance of the soul. It is the ignorance that there is a course already laid out before us that is both tried and sure. Each message from God provides both guidance and peace. When the commitment is to do the same, the results will be a peace that passes all understanding. The pleading of the Spirit of Christ is "learn from Me!" He is fully aware of the outcome of every decision made in a lifetime. He still pleads rather than force us to do what is best. Yet many will stubbornly reject the offer to learn from Him what He knows. My friend, your restless soul can only find rest in Him. He will take your burdens and permit you to be His yoke-fellow. As you walk with Him, even though there will be challenges ahead, the lessons learned through those challenges will provide a much greater reward than the little effort required of you. You will discover a new kind of rest, a rest in labor rather than from it for His yoke is easy and His burdens are…

"To whom He said, "This is the rest with which you may cause the weary to rest," Isaiah 28:12 God speaks to the weary. His words of encouragement are directed towards them as liberating words. It is a rest that continues in the midst of work. Too many busy themselves with efforts to achieve their dreams yet ruin the possibility of reaching the heights which lie beyond their own imaginations. What a high price many pay in order to become what they consider to be their best? Yet the best ever envisioned is like standing before an anthill in contrast to Mount Everest. God speaks to those who tire themselves in trying to do great things yet do not know Him or the power that He alone possesses. They flex their muscles as weak as they are, but cannot find the strength to even live long enough to participate in all they believe and is their dream. God's objective is for each of us to become what He has in mind. Only when our Creator is pleased will we find true and lasting pleasure. All else will keep one in an endless pursuit of wanting more than he has, wanting…

"For with Thee is the fountain of life: in Thy light shall we see light."Psalm 36:9 (KJV) Darkness conceals while light reveals. Things are further darkened by darkness while they are illuminated by the light. The Lord speaks His Word in order to guide us through life. His Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. We are guided through those dangerous places where the enemy of our souls is lurking with the intent of killing, stealing, and destroying us. We are not walking alone because when we walk in the light we walk with Him. We see together and move in sync with one another. What we see enables us to see more. What we experience together is preparation for what lies ahead. The light that is before us now will lead us to greater dimensions of light. His light is the light of life. A fountain of living water continues to flow in our direction keeping and preserving us. What awaits us is far greater than what we had to abandon. All that preceded was mere preparation for what the Lord has yet to show us. We can trust His guidance and rest in His…

Writing has always been a part of my life. I know every writer says this, but it's definitely true for me. As a kid, I would write these stories and come up with characters based on books I was reading at the time. I didn't know it then, but I was essentially writing fan fiction.
The one thing I have noticed over the years is that the main character in my stories always has something similar to me. Usually it's the looks (mixed race, thick curly hair, big girl) and often times it's the circumstances that I grew up with (no mom, poor, low self esteem). So, naturally, I am drawn to characters that are similar to me. It's a totally normal thing to do as a human. It's almost like a validation of our experiences: I'm not the only one going through this bullshit. Unfortunately, there are not very many examples of girls like me when it comes to books.
Growing up, I read a lot of books. Like, A LOT of books. Of course there were cheesy ones like the Goosebumps series, Sweet Valley High series and anything involving witches. But, I also read books like Charlotte's Web, The Secret Garden, and almost every Roald Dahl book. My favorites included of course Harry Potter, The Giver, Holes, and Sarah Dessen boooks (which are basically romance novels for teenagers).
This love for reading continued through high school and into college. Naturally, a love for writing came along with it. But, because I took a lot of writing classes and had to read a lot of books, my "fun reading" slowly began to dwindle. I would read, but it wasn't as often as before. This of course didn't stop me from buying so many books I broke a shelf.
So, as of recently, I've been trying to get back into my 1-2 books a month habit. The latest book I have finished is "The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl," a collection of essays and the life story of Issa Rae.
I first heard of Issa when I came upon her "Awkward Black Girl" Youtube series. This was back when the concept of a "Youtuber" was relatively new and a lot the social media platforms we know and love today were in their beginning stages.
The series followed the life of a young and awkward black girl named "J." She somehow always manages to find herself in these strange, and yes, awkward situations. The show is awesome, but I unfortunately did not keep up with it like I did a few years back. But, I still followed Issa on social media and kept up with her growing career.
I was super excited to read her book and bought it right away (when it was only in hardcover and like $26. But honestly, I throw down for books without even blinking). From the beginning to the end of the book, there were so many situations that I related to. From those sketchy chatrooms that popped up in the early 2000s to accepting the hair that naturally comes out of my head, I related to Issa's life a lot more than I expected I would. Growing up, Rae was tossed between living life in America and staying connected to her Senegalese part of her culture.
Though I can't relate to that because I don't have parents and have no idea about my family history (or where the hell in Africa we are from), I can totally relate to feeling like I don't fit in with anyone. As a kid, I was of course, reading and into weird things like Harry Potter (which was consider weird when I was a kid. Like ya'll don't know what I've been through) and listening to music that was……TOO WHITE?! How could I as a black-ish person not listen to BLACK MUSIC? Of course, besides the fact that I grew up listening to R&B and Hip-Hop, I was considered "white washed" because I was into things like school and not getting into trouble. I know there are plenty of black and other POC who can relate to being told you didn't fit the stereotype of how your race is suppose to act and talk and think like.
One of the major life lessons a person can learn from reading this book, regardless of race, is that there is no one way to be something. I am black in my own unique way and I don't have to prove myself blackness to anyone.
Another thing that stuck out to me was when Issa, who went to Stanford (dream school!), wrote, "Girls, New Girl, 2 Broke Girls. What do they all have in common? The universal gender classification, "girl," is white. In all three of these successful series, a default girl (or two) is implied and she is white. That is the norm and that is what is acceptable. Anything else is niche."
She said what I have always thought and could never say. I have spent my whole life watching these shows and reading these books and liking them, but not really loving them. Most of the books I have read have always been what I thought I should read. Of course some like Harry Potter are awesome, but almost all the characters are white. (Sure, Hermione's skin tone was never really explained and Dumbledore could have been gay, but why didn't Rowling write it that way?!) This was also brought up in Aziz Ansari's show, Master of None, in the episode "Indians." He is auditioning for a show about a random group of friends and does really well. Unfortunately, he has an Indian friend that also goes out for the same show and does well too. The show basically tells them that a show can't have two Indian characters in it, right? Because then people would think it was an Indian show. Ansari points out the hypocrisy that there are so many shows that have more than 2 white characters (shit, more than 5) and no even bats an eye.
I am so glad Issa wrote this book and I am so glad I read it. She has a short chapter where she discusses the fact that when it came to online dating, asian men and black women were like the bottom of the totem pole. Though she writes it in a humorous way, it definitely shines light on the mere fact that the negative stereotypes people face really do effect their life. Also, apparently, the more educated a black woman is, the more likely she's single. I guess I MUST BE A FUCKIN GENIUS?!
This book also inspired me to write my own memoir (which seems pointless because who the fuck am I to anyone but the poor people I bombard my blog with on facebook??). I have been putting it off but now that I am older, I feel like my story is interesting enough to tell. If anything, this book has made me think that there is probably someone who needs to read my story.

A project worth checking out
Date Posted: 31st Mar 2013 at
While not exclusively sims related, this project is something definitely worth checking out if you're a mesher, recolourer or machinima creator:
I spoke for a while with the person behind it a couple of weeks ago. The idea is essentially this; you see (or make) a machinima video of someone's game, and it has a piece of CC in there which you absolutely
have. You run this video through this tool, and it prints out a list of
the different CC used in that clip, along with all the details of the creator.
The tool is still very much a work in progress, but is apparentl showing some very promising results. If it works well, maybe they'll even be able to expand it to work on static images. I can see potential to provide instant CC credits lists for competition entries, an automatic way to answer WCIF queries, and a tool for creators to see all the cool videos and images that their content has been featured in.
At this point, their team needs sample data. That means that they need content and creator information in their database which they can then match to the images they see in the videos. If you're a mesher or recolourer and you want to help out, check out the link above and upload some samples for their database.
I can see a tool like this being useful not just in the sims space, but also in the wider 3D modelling and video game space. If nothing else, think about submitting some stuff just to help out some research students work on building something really clever!

As many people who know me have probably realised, I have a problematic attention span. When I mod, I get enthusiastic about figuring out how to do something, but once the tricky part is figured out I lose all interest in finishing it.
As such, my sims modding folder is littered with dozens of almost-complete mods for TS2. Some are cloning templates, needing only some creative meshing. Some are complete objects, but missing a key animation. Some are the proof-of-concept pieces for something which later became an actual released mod.
Since I'm all but retired in the actual making-new-mods-for-TS2 sense, these mods are going to stay unreleased, unsupported, and incomplete. However, since there are still a few aspiring TS2 hackers about, I'm going to make them 'unofficially' available over the next few journal posts for anyone who wants to build on them or use part of their code for something exciting.
All of these files are free for use in any way you like. Finish them and release them yourself, use them to create something new, play with them in-game as incomplete objects... Anything you like. Credit is appreciated, if you aren't making significant changes to my bases.
They are, however, only available from me as-is. I have no interest in doing any further work on them.
Mostly-complete item one - A Working Bridge
This was a request from Canoodle, who wondered why we had to build bridges with elevation cheats instead of having bridges as drop-down objects. This was a proof of concept for such an object. Its two end tiles must be placed on land, but the intervening tiles can also be placed over water. Sims will use it to route over ponds etc, rather than walking around them, assuming the body of water is wide enough to warrant it.
What needs to be done to it to make it "ready"?
It is fully working, but the animations look entirely ridiculous. The bridge requires two "walking" animation files, one for walking each direction. If you are able to make these animations, then simply replace the two anim files already in there with yours and it should work. The mesh and textures could do with a bit of care too!
You will also need to give it legitimate GUIDs if you intend to share, as those currently in there are just dummy values.
I actually would love to see this one completed, if there are any interested animators about.

Typing one handed...
Date Posted: 30th Mar 2009 at
Seems I have tendonitis in my left hand. This is extremely frustrating for me, because I'm basically unable to use it for anything. Tying up shoelaces is bordering on impossible, so as you can imagine typing normally is pretty much out of the question. The good news is that I'm still a fairly fast typist even one handed, but it does mean that I'm making a hell of a lot more typos than usual. This irritates me somewhat. Sigh. A whole week of this? I may go insane(er than I already am).

Modder seeks animator?
Date Posted: 7th Mar 2009 at
I have a problem. My attention span is... Oh look! A kitten!
Ahem. Yes. I have a short attention span problem, which means that while I am technically capable of meshing something decent, and of texturing it reasonably well, and animating things smoothly... I normally get to the end of the coding and modding phase of my projects, then quit due to a shiny new idea that I've had.
Well I'm in just such a position now. I've got something hacked, rearranged, and working as a proof of concept, but it has an average mesh and average textures and very dodgy animations. It's base game compatible, and I think it would be quite popular. At least two people have mentioned in passing that they want such an object, and that was before I actually considered making it
So if you feel like pairing up with me for a little once-off project, one object only, and you have animating skills, drop me a note for some no-obligation project details!

Upcoming coolness and some Java
Date Posted: 10th Jan 2009 at
Two bits of interesting news today!
First thing is that you may have noticed a few people mentioning a 'High Rollers' project recently? It's really close now, and I mean *really* close. Keep your eyes open, it's pretty cool.
The other thing is more of an idle achievement. I saw a post on a different forum that mentioned how, with all the detail in the wiki, it's really quite easy now to code up a package reader in your language of choice. I couldn't let a comment like that just slide by, so I gave it a shot. Sure enough, I had the bare bones of a package reader working in Java inside a couple of hours, but then I had to come up with something graphical to use it for so I could show it off.
That was yesterday. Now I've got something with virtually no practical use, but which looks pretty and complicated and unpacks .package files to do it. Basically, it takes an object clone, then puts together a directed graph showing the relationships between its BHAVs, up into its semiglobals and (optionally) into the globals. It also draws in the OBJFs, but I haven't written the decoding logic for TTABs yet so it doesn't draw those. Also, my interest is starting to wane. (I have trouble working on the same thing for more that a day!)
So pictures! Click to embiggen!
OBJf = yellow
Local BHAV = blue
Semiglobal BHAV = red
Global BHAV = green
Piano with globals:

Well that was FUN!
Date Posted: 18th Nov 2007 at
My fairytales entry is up now, and I've got to say that that was fun! I even managed to do it in under my allotted time of 6 days (a self imposed limit to stop me from making another monster set).
Of course, now that I've finished it, I feel obliged to write up a proper tutorial on custom socials. I figured out a few things while making it which I don't think have been documented anywhere (and if they have, I haven't found them). Plus, it's not like we have a shortage of people who want to make new social interactions! I've just got to figure out what parameter 0x2 is for in "Soc&Rel: Adjust Soc & Rel to Other Sim".... Grr!

Fairy tales eh?
Date Posted: 6th Nov 2007 at
So I figured that since I actually voted for the "fairy tales" theme, I really ought to put in an entry for it, so I am. I haven't worked on anything small for several months now, so I'm a bit out of the habit, but it's a fun challenge to create something in a limited time frame.
Here's what I've discovered since starting this challenge entry:
- Not working on something which is going to take 12 months to complete? Awesome. But slightly harder, since I keep coming up with 20
things that would go with the current object to make up a cool set
- Trying to make something you haven't made before? Also awesome. Never made a social before, never made a social plugin before, never done *anything* with the visible inventory before, but I'm doing all three with this project and, while frustrating, it's a lot of fun.
- Working on something within a fixed time frame? Awesome, but a bit scary. I've always sort of done the "when I feel like it" thing, and this time I can't. Fortunately, "when I feel like it" has pretty much been all the time the last two days, so yay for that!
- Social mods? Yep, that's right, awesome.
You can do so much in so little code, it's freaking brilliant.
and finally...
- Working on an entry for a challenge at the same time as dozens of others are also working on entries for the same challenge? Fantastic!
Seriously, if you haven't considered entering before, consider it now. There are so many options to play with in this theme, and it really is fun.

A million?
Date Posted: 30th Sep 2007 at
At some point today or yesterday, I passed 1 million downloads. This, of course, makes me feel somewhat chuffed.
It's a bit of an irrelevant number, of course, given that it *does* include all the cases where the same person has downloaded the same item multiple times because of an EP update/bugfix, and it *doesn't* include downloads for any collaborative project contributions like the HP set or the rugs.
, it does mean that my profile takes up one more character than it did before, since my download count is now at 7 digits.
I had intended to release something really spiffy for the occasion, and started a few months ago accordingly. Alas, at the moment it's causing my game to crash every time I try and start, so it may be a while off yet. Give it another couple of months and it might be working properly!
Thanks so much to all the people who have downloaded and enjoyed my stuff. If there weren't so many lovely people who use this content and celebrate it, I think most of my stuff would still be in the "works but is highly buggy, for personal use only" directory.

First projects.
Date Posted: 3rd Aug 2007 at
Ok, I'm not targeting anyone specific here, but I've seen several people falling into a particular trap recently and I feel the need to say something:
First projects are for experimentation, not exposure!
Everyone who's ever created something really cool has had to face the daunting prospect of a first solo project at least once in their time. Generally it happens after working through several tutorials, and despite the word "solo", it tends to involve a lot of hand holding from others who have done it before. And that is really, really, good.
But! When you're choosing the goal of that first project,
make sure you can do the entire thing with skills you've already got! Your first project really should be something you look back on with embarassment in 6 months time.
You should not be aiming for an instant hit with the downloaders. It should not require new textures and new meshes and new materials and new slots and new behaviours and new animations. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say that
your first solo project should not be something that's new and exciting and everyone wants
! Why? Because if it's something new and exciting and everyone wants, but no one's made it before, it's probably because
it's hard to make!
What does make a good first project? Well, if you've just finished the table tutorial, make a chair. If you've just finished a t-shirt making tutorial, make a dress. If you've finished a max-motives painting, make a drop motives statue. You don't have to release this stuff, just see what your new knowledge will and won't allow you to do. You'll save yourself (and you hand holding mentors!) hours or days of frustration if you do.
Finally, for the more practiced modders... No new project should require you to learn more than one new modding skill. If it does, put it on hold for a couple of weeks, read some tutorials, and make some mini "proof of understanding" objects - one for each of the new skills. That way you know you'll do it right when you get to the actual project. My modding folder is full of the discarded remains of random statues and chessboards which do all sorts of odd things, because whenever I want to make something cool I test the idea it out small scale first.
I'll stop preaching now. Thanks for listening.

Jesus Then and Now
by Ken Onstot
Scene 1: Upper Room, Jerusalem, 30 A.D.
Cast: Thomas Salome
Mary, Jesus' mother Joanna
Mary Magdalene
(Peter, Thomas, and Mary are seated on crates looking forlorn. There is a knock at the door.)
Thomas: Shhh! Someone's at the door. Don't let them know we are here.
Mary: Why not?
Thomas: It could be one of the guards from the temple or one of Pilate's soldiers. If they arrested Jesus, how do we know they won't arrest us?
Mary: But, Thomas, what if it's someone from our own group? Shouldn't we let them in?
(The knocking repeats.)
Peter (getting up): I'm going to open the door.
Thomas: What if it's a soldier looking for Jesus' followers?
Peter: I denied knowing him three times already; I'm not going to deny him again.
(Peter opens door; sees Salome)
Peter (with a big sigh of relief): It's just Salome. Come on in.
Salome (going over to Mary): How are you, Mary? It must have been awful watching your son die on a cross.
Mary (nodding): It was. It must have been the way God felt: watching his Son die on a cross.
Thomas: You still believe Jesus is God's Son, even after watching him die? The Son of God isn't supposed to die. He's supposed to save us from dying.
Mary: I know. I don't understand.
Salome (intervening): We all thought Jesus was God's Son. That's why we followed him. We cheered and waved palm branches when he entered Jerusalem because we thought he came to be a king, not a victim.
Thomas: We should have known he was a fake. All that talk about loving your enemies and turning the other cheek. No one ever got to be a king by turning the other cheek.
(There is another knock at the door. Everyone jumps.)
Thomas (to Salome): Were you followed?
Salome: I don't know.
Peter: Jesus wasn't afraid to have followers; neither should we. (He opens the door and sees Joanna.) Joanna, come in.
Joanna (out of breath from running): I just got back from the tomb.
Mary: What tomb?
Joanna: Jesus' tomb.
Peter: You know where they buried him?
Joanna: Yes. After all of you ran away, Mary Magdalene and I stayed. We watched him die on the cross, while he prayed for the people who put him there. They buried his body in a tomb donated by a man named Joseph.
Thomas: You could have been arrested.
Joanna: Should that stop us from following him?
Peter: Why did you go to the tomb?
Salome: We went to the tomb to anoint his body with spices.
Mary: You also were at the tomb?
Salome: I was going to tell you, but I didn't get the chance.
Thomas: Wasn't the tomb covered with a large stone? How did you get in?
Joanna: That's what I came to tell you. The stone was rolled away and the body was gone.
All: WHAT?
Salome: The tomb was open and the body was gone. The only thing left was the burial cloth they had wrapped around him.
Thomas: Are you sure you went to the right tomb?
Joanna: Of course. We saw exactly where they laid him.
Peter: Maybe someone moved the body after you left.
Thomas: Or stole it.
Mary: If you moved the body or stole it, would you unwrap it first and leave the burial cloth behind?
(Silence while everyone thinks about this.)
Thomas: Well, then, where is he?
(Another knock at the door. They all jump. Once again Peter opens it. Mary Magdalene is at the door.)
Magdalene (coming in, also breathless): Listen, all of you, Jesus is alive!
Thomas: He can't be alive. Joanna said she saw him die.
Magdalene: So did I. But when we went to the tomb it was empty.
Peter: Joanna just told us. What happened to the body?
Magdalene: Didn't she tell you about the two men?
Thomas: What two men? (Everyone looks at Joanna.)
Joanna (to Magdalene): I was afraid they wouldn't believe me.
Magdalene: There were two men at the tomb dressed in white. They said to us, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here. He is risen."
Thomas: And you believe that?
Magdalene: How else do you explain that the body was missing?
Thomas: Lots of ways. Maybe you got confused and went to the wrong tomb. Maybe those two men took the body away. Maybe they were playing a horrible joke on you.
Peter: Or maybe they were telling the truth.
Thomas (going over to him): You believe that story about Jesus rising from the dead?
Peter: Don't you remember the miracles we saw Jesus perform? How he helped blind people see and paralyzed people walk? How he calmed the storm on the sea and fed 5000 people with a few loaves of bread and a couple fish? Couldn't someone like that rise from the dead?
Thomas: There's a big difference between helping a paralyzed person walk and rising from the dead.
Peter: Yes, but he told us it would happen. Don't you remember? When we were coming to Jerusalem he told us that he was going to die, but we didn't believe it.
Mary: I didn't want to believe it.
Peter: But he also told us he would rise from the dead. All the other things he promised came true. The paralyzed man walked, the storm on the sea stopped, he died on the cross. Everything happened the way he said it would. Shouldn't we believe him when he says he will rise from the dead?
Thomas: Then where is he? If he is really alive, shouldn't he be here?
Salome: Maybe he already is, and we just don't realize it.
Song during scene change
Scene 2: The Club House, Des Moines, 2016
Cast: Tom Sally
Mary Jo
Pete Meg
(Pete, Tom, and Mary are sitting on crates looking downcast.)
Mary: I'm sure going to miss old Mr. Brown.
Pete: Me, too. Remember how he helped us make this clubhouse. He showed us how to nail the boards together and hang the door and everything.
Tom: Remember the time those bullies from school chased us. We ran in here to get away from them. They started tearing our clubhouse apart to get us, but Mr. Brown came out and told them to leave.
Pete: How come he died?
Mary: I don't know. I guess his body just wore out.
Pete: He sure was fun to talk to. I wish we could see him again.
(There is a knock at the door.)
Tom: Shh! It might be one of those bullies following us home from school. Don't let them know we are here.
Mary: What if it's one of our friends? Shouldn't we let them in?
Tom: Hmm, I guess you're right. We need some kind of code.
(The knocking repeats.)
Pete: I'm going to open the door.
Tom: What if it's the bullies?
Pete: Mr. Brown wasn't afraid of the bullies, and neither am I.
(Pete opens the door; sees Sally)
Pete (with a sigh of relief): It's just Sally. Come on in.
Sally: Thanks a lot. (Mocking) "It's just Sally. We don't need to open the door for her."
Mary: He did not mean it that way. We thought you might be one of the bullies who followed us home from school.
Sally: I sure miss Mr. Brown.
Mary: We all do. I guess he's with God now.
Tom: How do you know there is a God?
Pete: How do you think we got here, if there's no God?
Tom: I don't know. Maybe we were just a bunch of molecules floating around in space, and gravity brought them together to form the sun and the planets and everything else.
Mary: Then how come you ended us as a human being instead of a toad?
Pete: What are you talking about? He is a toad.
Tom (ignoring him): I don't know. How come the toad ended up as a toad instead of a human being? It just happened that way. Besides what difference does it make? They both end up dying and rotting in the ground.
Mary: The toad does, but somehow Mr. Brown is still with me.
(There is another knock at the door.)
Tom (to Sally): Were you followed by the bullies?
Sally: I don't think so.
Pete (to Tom): What are you going to do: not let anyone in? (He goes to the door and opens it. Jo comes in.)
Pete: Hi, Jo. Where you been?
Jo: I got out school to go to the funeral service for Mr. Brown.
Tom: You went to a funeral? Eww. Funerals freak me out.
Jo: I thought it was the least I could do. They told a lot of things about Mr. Brown at the service. Did you know he took meals to people who couldn't get out of their homes to buy groceries? And every year after a cold winter he planted flowers in front of the church to remind people how Jesus rose from the dead. They put some of his flowers on the casket.
Tom: You mean his body was there in a casket? Eww. What did they do with it?
Jo: After the service they took it to the cemetery and lowered it into a hole in the ground.
Tom: You see, it's just like the toad.
Mary: Do you think there would have been a church full of people telling stories and giving thanks for a toad? I think Mr. Brown is very much alive.
Tom: Then where is he?
(There is a knock at the door. They all jump. Once again Pete opens it. Meg comes in.)
Pete: Hi, Meg, we missed you at school. Where have you been?
Meg: Didn't Jo tell you? I went with her to the funeral service for Mr. Brown.
Mary: Was it sad?
Meg: In a way it was. People had tears in their eyes when they talked about Mr. Brown's Sunday School class.
Mary: Yeah, he always brought donuts. He said if Jesus could teach his disciples while they were eating, so could he.
Pete: Yeah, that was great.
Jo: There were many stories like that. The people seemed glad to remember them, but it also made them sad.
Sally: He was sure a good friend.
Mary: I will always remember him.
Meg: But then the pastor told about how Jesus rose from the dead on Easter and how we can be raised from the dead to be with him.
Mary: You mean that one day we will see him again?
Jo: And Mr. Brown, too.
Tom: You believe that?
Meg: If God can raise Jesus from the dead, why can't he raise us up?
Tom: How we do know that Jesus actually rose from the dead? We have been told he rose from the dead, but we haven't seen him.
Jo: Then why do people believe in him?
Tom: I don't know. Maybe they are all just toads.
Pete: I guess that's a possibility. But if Mr. Brown is a toad for believing in Jesus, then I'd like to be one, too.
Mary: So would I.
Jo: Me, too.
Meg: Count me in.
Tom: But if Jesus is alive why can't we see him?
Sally: Maybe we see him by the difference he makes in our lives.
Mary: And by the hope he gives us that no one else can.

On Thursday 1st September, Chief winemaker Ben Haines was introducing the 36th release of the Langi Shiraz – the 2014 Langi Shiraz.
In the 2017 James Halliday Wine Companion, the industry doyen gave the 2014 Langi Shiraz 98 points and described the wine like "an orchestra playing Beethoven". This unusual comparison is spot on for the guests of the event who had the chance to enjoy the 2014 Langi Shiraz accompanied by a small performance by musicians from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
The dinner was also a rare opportunity to compare the new release of the Langi Shiraz to two older vintages, the 1998 and the 2004.
Before the star wine was tasted, the team had chosen to share with guest 2 other wines from the museum, the 2012 Blanc de Blancs and the 1997 Langi Riesling alongside the 2013 Langi Riesling.
With less than 300 dozen produced for this vintage, the release dinner was limited to only 50 lucky guests who's enthusiasm for Langi have made the evening even more special for the team.

The "Error establishing a database connection" that many a WordPress user has seen is certainly annoying, but rest assured it is most often an easy enough fix. Follow along below and by the end of the article, I suspect that you will feel confident enough to tackle the problem yourself.
The Error Mostly Occurs Because Of Incorrect Information In The wp-config File
The wp-config file, among other things, is the source of the information for connecting to the MySQL database. Most of WordPress's data including posts and configuration settings is stored in the database. Before installing WordPress, the database must exist so that it can connect to it, add the necessary tables, and plug in the initial configuration information, including "site title," "admin email," etc.
And when no connection can be established to the database, the obvious error of "Error establishing a database connection" occurs. The first thing to check is the settings for the database. Use the steps below to compare the necessary information which includes database name, user name, password, and database host.
Check The Host Name First
First, make sure that the host name is correct in the wp-config.php file. In most cases it will be 'localhost' but with web hosts like GoDaddy that won't be the case. Just Google "how to find mysql hostname for {web host name}," so for GoDaddy type "how to find mysql hostname for GoDaddy."
Next Check To Be Sure That The DB User Has All Priveleges
Next, you can check to be sure that the DB username is accurate and that the user is given "all priveleges." You will need to be certain of your database name for this step.
If working with Control Panel, go to Databases >> MySQL Databases. Locate the database in the list of Current Databases and click on the User foung in the "Users" column.
Grant "All Priveleges" if not already set, click "Make Changes" and check to see if the error disappears.
Create A New User With All Priveleges Attached To The DB If You Don't Know The Password
If you aren't sure the password is correct for the user attached to the database, the best bet is to create a new user. You can't edit the password in most cases unless you know the existing password, soand since we don't then creating a new user it is.
To create a new user, first go to: Databases >> MySQL Databases. Head down to the Add New User section, enter a name, and a password. Make note of both values. Keep in mind that for shared hosting accounts on Control Panel your Control Panel username along with an underscore will be pre-pended to the choses username.
Input these new values into the WordPress wp-config.php file, save and upload and test to see if the error disappears.
Login To phpMyAdmin If You Don't Know The Database Name
If your naming convention doesn't make it obvious what the database name is for your given site, you can find out the database name from phpMyAdmin. Incidentally, you can also learn the Database Hostname in there as well.
In your Control Panel go to: Databases >> phpMyAdmin. Choose a database name that you presume may be the one your site belongs to, or take a wild guess. Near the top on the left side will be the hostname followed by an arrow and the database name. It may come in handy to make note of those values for later if this turns out to be the correct DB.
Now, on the left side locate the "options" table. The table will have a prefix, most likely "wp_" but it could be a custom name as well. Select the table and on the right side you should be in "Browse" mode for the table, but if not choose the "Browse" tab at the top left. The value at the top for "siteurl" should give you a clear indication for which site this database belongs to. If it's the wrong DB, slect another and repeat the steps.
Make Sure wp-config.php Matches The Database Info And Test Again
Using the above information you should be able to determine all of the necessary information to plug into wp-config.php to be rid of the "Error establishing a database connection" annoyance from the WordPress installation. My guess is that in 9 out of 10 cases, this will correct the problem.
Other Things To Try, Like Deleting Plugins That Were Just Installed
Failing that the problem is resolved by making certain the four values (DB name, DB username, DB username password, and DB hostname) are correct, here are a few other thins to consider.
1. Perhaps a recently installed plugin (or even theme) created the issue. Login by FTP and go to the /wp-content/plugins/ folder and delete the plugin that was recently installed. Be sure to re-upload it if that wasn't the culprit. Database backup plugins sometimes create this issue.
2. The MySQL database server, may in fact be correct in wp-config, but may just be down at the moment. If that is the case you certainly won't be the only one affected by this issue. If your host provides a bulletin on current known issues then you should learn the answer rather quickly. Otherwise a quick support forum entry (or broswe) or call to (or live chat with) the support staff should get the answer to that question promptly.
3. If you were testing your deployment locally (on your machine) before launching on an actual domain there may be some database entry problems. WordPress provides instructions in the Codex for "switching domains," which is essentially what you are doing when going from the sandbox to deployment. Value such as "siteurl" and more in the database may need updating if this is the case.
4. While this is largely out of scope for this article, if a MySQL database is simply too big, there might be problems for apps such as WordPress to connect to it. A lot of times this has to do with many post and page "revisions" being stored in the database, mostly unnecessarily. What is considered "too big" I don't know but if this is the problem suspected then you may need to go into phpMyAdmin and do some careful pruning. But again, beyond the scope.

SANDUSKY, OH (WOIO) - Cedar Point is kicking off its year of family fun with the announcement of even more new attractions for the upcoming season.
The park previously announced the addition of two new rides (Pipe Scream and Lake Erie Eagles), along with changes to Camp Snoopy and the beginning of a two-year renovation project to Hotel Breakers.
Later this summer, Cedar Point will take screaming to new heights when it opens its new SlingShot ride. Billed as one of the most exciting vertical thrill rides around, riders on SlingShot will be secured in an open-air two-person capsule before being launched nearly 360 feet into the sky at speeds of up to 62 mph to the second highest point of the Cedar Point skyline – that's just below the tallest and fastest coaster at the park, Top Thrill Dragster!
After a brief feeling of weightlessness, riders will descend back towards Earth before catapulting back up and down until the capsule comes to rest back at the launching point. Manufactured by Funtime in Austria, SlingShot will be located near the Gemini roller coaster and will be an extra charge amusement ride.
Cedar Point opens for the 2014 season on Saturday, May 10. For a complete operating schedule, visit cedarpoint.com.

Is Your Business a Real Business?
If you've ever watched shows like Shark Tank before, you've witnessed at least a few entrepreneurs get told that their business idea might not be much of a business after all.
If someone were to say that to you, would you take it at face value? The reality is that everyone's definition of a business is a little bit different. As an accountant, I will look at a business and define it within my own parameters but yours could be based on a different set of factors altogether.
A teacher takes an asset (the students) and gives them knowledge to improve them. Is that a business? Some people would say that's just teaching but I would say it is a business.
You could say that if you pay taxes, you have a real business but there's something about that that doesn't quite sit right with me either. That could be a poor definition when you consider businesses that don't have anything financially associated with them yet still improve our lives, such as the case with teachers.
A real business is something that you put your heart and hands into, and it makes you feel that you have something forward. That's a real business.
Is It a Hobby or a Business?
It's wonderful to have hobbies but that does not necessarily mean your hobby will be a successful business.
You have to ask yourself: is this something that I am doing because I enjoy doing it or is it just something I am dabbling in?
The best piece of advice I can give is that if you are going down the avenue of running a real business then make sure you treat it like you are in a real business. You need to make sure you have the right structures in place, the right team members, the right mental state and the right business planning.
Don't get me wrong, you can run your hobby as a business by taking something you are passionate about and turning it into a serious business. If you try to run your business like a hobby, that's when you're setting yourself up for failure.
You Can't Dabble In a Real Business
When I think about the best example of running a business as a hobby, multilevel marketing is the first thing that springs to mind.
I have seen thousands of people dabble in multilevel marketing and I've also seen very few people who run it like a real business.
People who dabble in multilevel marketing might make a few hundred bucks but the ones that are committed to running it like a real business are the ones that see a high success rate.
Asking The Yourself Right Questions
If you're determined to go forward with a new business and unsure if it's a "real" business, there are a few questions you can ask yourself to help clarify the situation.
- Is there a market or a need for your product or service?
- Realistically, what is the size of the market?
- Have you tested that product with potential customers in your target market? (That doesn't include your supportive parents)
Last Minute Advice
Just because you have a "real" business doesn't guarantee its success. Generally speaking, if you are running a hobby then the odds of you being successful in business is low.
It's not necessarily about time as much as it's about your approach because that's what will determine whether or not you are running a real business.

text: Pawz4me 29,408 Report post Posted May 7 (edited) 2 hours ago, Quill said: Here's something I have mused about, though and I'd like to know your thoughts: if a child is raised with a faith system, he or she gets heavily instructed in "good" or pro-social behavior. (Well, usually, at least.) There's a good chance "good person" will solidify as part of their self-identity, so then, if that person relinquishes his or her religious belief system as an adult, he still retains this self-identity, making pro-social behavior more likely. I wonder if being raised as an atheist makes it more difficult for that to happen. Anecdotal, but we left organized religion when the boys were around 5 and 8. By that time I'd say I was already agnostic and DH was atheist. So the boys were mostly raised in a non-religious home environment. And yet somehow they still managed to be great kids. I cut your dog analogy, but it reminded me to mention that I believe basic morals--the things large groups of humans tend to agree on are "right" or "wrong"--are pretty much hardwired into most mentally healthy people (nature) and then reinforced when they see their parents and other adult role models acting "right" (nurture). Certainly one or both of those can go wrong. But I've known way too many really messed up people who were/are in church every time the doors were open to believe that has anything at all to do with morals or right living or whatever you want to call it. 2 hours ago, Home'scool said: UGH I wish I had not started this thread. It has gone in a direction I did not want it to go, but again, I take responsibility for that. I did not express myself well. I never ever wanted to imply that atheists are more apt to live a bad life, or murder people, or be thugs. I do not believe that and I do not want to perpetuate that idea. I do not think that people who believe in God are better people. I know a lot of people who are front and center in their church every Sunday who deserve a special seat in Hell. I know a lot of people who never go to church and do not live by rules of the bible who should be ushered straight to Heaven (if there is such a place) I was musing about the concept of someone who DOES believe in an afterlife still committing a murder for purely selfish reasons. I was wondering how they would justify that in their mind. I guess the answer just boils down to cognitive dissonance. I am assuming that is how Robert Kraft justifies paying for women who are probably forced to service him. But the fact that I muse about Robert Kraft does NOT mean I think all men are bad, or that men that are widowed are more apt to pay for sex. I never wanted to imply that my musings about one group of people means I believe that another group of people (atheists) do not have that worry, and therefore would be willing to murder people willy-nilly. I think everybody understands where you're coming from! It's a good conversation. I do wonder about your references to Kraft. I'm kind of curious what it is about him that convinces you he's a religious/spiritual person? I know very little about the man, so I'm mostly just curious, and wondering because I tend to believe we can't know that kind of thing about anyone we're not very, very close to.

Has Know-how Progressed Faster Than The Human Mind
There is a definitive method which many profitable writers in the past & present have all discovered to develop their on-line writing expertise. Most of the information tales by AP are syndicated or reprinted in newspapers around the world, and AP has also created an Android app for access to their stories. The problem for news is that by far the most important share of that online advert revenue goes to non-news sources, particularly to aggregators. Both figures are considerably larger than the percentage of adults (5%) who at present pay for online native news content material. In 2010 each information platform saw audiences either stall or decline — except for the net.
I had an enormous disagreement with one of my kids as to who was going to win this years election so I watched all the news media together with YouTube, Drudge, Politico, Infowars, and all the main stream media shops at least a dozen times a day for the reason that election started.
Having seen their traditional businesses battered by forces that embody structural adjustments fuelled by the fast development of networked digital applied sciences and cyclical shifts within the financial system, mainstream information publishers have intensified efforts to adapt their journalism processes and merchandise.
Since their look within the early noughties, trend blogs have established themselves as a central platform for the circulation of vogue associated news and knowledge. The Georgia Tech Center for the Improvement and Utility of Web of Issues Technologies has expanded to incorporate Amazon Internet Providers. This text investigates how the positioning of citizen micro-journalism was textually negotiated in news reviews by attributing totally different degrees of epistemic authority to citizen-made content material. Nevertheless, there is no central information group controlling the exchange of information. Huntley offered one view of the information and Brinkley presented the opposing view.
The TELEVISION viewer or information listener missing such mental preparedness, to them, a information program is only a sort of rousing light show. With regards to payments for information extra broadly, 36% of adults say they pay for native news content material in some form – be it for their native print newspaper, for an app on their cell device or for entry to special content online.

Boy Scout William Finn, who lives around the corner from the Fountain, hopes that by repairing the garden surrounding the fountain base, he can raise the monument's status and make tourists stop long enough to read the inscriptions and understand the full significane of the silent marble woman.
The Pilgrim Mother statue and fountain were dedicated in 1925 and was a gift from the Daughters of the American Revolution. It was given as a reminder of the heroic women who sailed in the Mayflower to the new world.
"It really is the hidden monument on the waterfront," said Finn, who is 14 years old. "It is neglected in its own hometown. it definately should mean more." Although the monument is a part of the state's Pilgrim Memorial State Park, it was left out of an extensive master revitilization proposal completed by the state last year.
Finn has been a member of Boy Scout Troop 47 for four years. As he began thinking about a project for his Eagle Scout badge, he looked around the town's tourist center for inspiration. "I looked for a project that would have the most impact on people in the community and this was it," he said.
Knowing that the unkept garden and overgrown hedges were detracting from the monument, he contacted a Plymouth horticulturist, Sazanne Lucas, who helped him draw a design for the garden and priced the project. he also contaced herbal experts at Plimoth Plantation and hopes to fill the low garden beds with herbs that were popular during the Pilgrim era. He said the entire garden will be leveled and replanted. Everything will be new. Hedges close to the sidewalk and scraggly boxwood that fence in the garden sections will be removed, as well as old flower beds.
With his horticultural plan in mind, Finn approached the state department of Environmental Management for permission to undertake his project. Their officials gave Finn the go-ahead, and the department will be responsible for maintaining the garden once the work is completed.
Fund raising came next. The Visitor Services Bureau has given him $2,000 in matching funds for money raised in the beginning. Then he contaced the State Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, who have a particular interest in the monument, having given it in the first place. It was in 1925 that the DAR donated the fountain to Plymouth in celebration of the town's tricentennial.
the nearby Chief Justice Cushing Chapter of the DAR gave Life Scout Finn $200 to get him started. The present regent, Mrs. William B. Migre, suggested to the State Society that they help with the project, and it was so voted at their Spring 1996 state conference.
Regent Migre set up a summer meeting for presentation of the DAR gift, and on 17 July she met with Scout Finn, his mother, and State Historian Mrs. Paul H. Walker (who is also Editor General of the Pilgrim News-Letter). Mrs. Walker gave him a check for $1000 from DAR. State Regent Mrs. Vincent Vialle was in Vermont and asked the State Historian to represent her.
This amount is being matched by the Visitor Services Bureau, so young Finn will ahev an added boost of funds as he starts his planning this July and August. Preperations fpr the work were nearly finished in early summer, and the added monies will enable him to get the plantings in and established before winter. In fact, Finn, with the help of his fellow scouts, hopes to finish the garden by late August.
As part of the project, Finn has also done research pm the monument's history, which he hopes to publish in a small brochure which can be handed out to tourists. In it, he hopes to inform visitors of the uses Pilgrims made of herbs, and what the horticultural meanings of them were.
Life Scout William P. Finn still needs money to complete the project. Anyone wishing to contribute to the work, send a check made out to: "The Pilgrim Mother Fountain Project." Send it to same, P.O. Box 3541, Plymouth, MA 02361.
