Chavez Defends Zelaya; Denounces Fox News
When Chavez spoke at the United Nations last week, he said: "It doesn't smell of sulfur here anymore. It's gone. No, it smells of something else. It smells of hope.â€
[United Nations RoundUp]
President Hugo Chavez of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela sees himself as a leader of the underprivileged of the world.
His government was at famous loggerheads with the George W. Bush Administration, which actually encouraged –if not instigated—a short lived coup de tat against Chavez. Chavez is hated by the right wing media.
In 2006 when he addressed the United Nations General Assembly, Chavez referred to President George W. Bush as "the Devil." While standing at the podium from which presidents address the General Assembly , he famously remarked that it smelled of sulfur because the President Bush had spoken from there the previous day.
When Chavez spoke at the United Nations last week, he said: "It doesn't smell of sulfur here anymore. It's gone. No, it smells of something else. It smells of hope."
President Chavez said that he hopes that God protects President Obama from the bullets that killed President John F. Kennedy. Chavez also spoke of his relations with President Alvaro Uribe of Columbia, whose country is an ally of the United States and has increased military cooperation with Washington. Columbia is a large exporter of cocaine to the United States.
President Chavez offered a history lesson concerning Gran Columbia, an early 19th century country which included Columbia, Venezuela, Panama, and Ecuador. Chavez believes that Uribe would like to see another Gran Columbia.
Chavez praised President Evo Morales of Bolivia, who has permitted farmers to grow coca plants. He, as did Morales, said coca leaves are not cocaine. It is Americans, who abuse cocaine. Coca leaves actually provide a medicinal benefit at high altitudes; and there are many high mountains and plateaus in Bolivia.
Chavez also addressed the dilemma of President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras, who is sequestered in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. He praised the ambassador of Honduras to the United Nations as a brave woman.
But it was after his formal speech that Chavez provided sparks. When Fox News attempted to sucker punch him with a leading question, President Chavez countered with a comment about "stupid people from Fox News."
Reacting to Fox News' account about Iranians being killed by security forces, he said he was disgusted that American television have not shown the bodies of children "murdered" by American drone missiles in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Chavez defended himself against those who portray him as an enemy of the trade unions.

NEWINGTON — Author Aaron Robinson will sign his new book, "Does God Sing?," on Saturday, March 30 starting at 1 p.m. at Barnes & Noble Booksellers, 45 Gosling Road.
What do Fred Rogers, Billy Joel, and John Philip Sousa all have in common? Is it their fame? Their talent? Their universal appeal? ... or is it the undeniable fact that they themselves answer the question: Does God Sing?
Composer and conductor Robinson was a late bloomer in music. But by his mid-teens, he was giving professional solo concerts. Proficient in piano, composition, and organ, Robinson thirsted for new music to expand his knowledge. After several years of conducting and performing, he discovered not only God's voice in all types of music, but the experiences that produced them. From the simplest of melodies sung by a single human voice to the glorious sounds of a full choir accompanied by a magnificent pipe organ, he realized how God uses music to communicate with us. All we need to do is listen.
In Does God Sing? author Aaron Robinson explores the power of music and the ability music has to change and heal our lives. Through a mixture of memoir and commentary, Robinson explains how God revealed Himself through music in his life and in the lives of those around him. Discover God's love, purpose, and guidance in your life through your ability to hear Him in music.

Their veggies beat my veggies.
I could talk about my garden. I'd rather talk about theirs. No: I'd rather show it to you.
If you ever get down on your own garden — the weeds, the challenges, the disappointments, the fixes you can't afford, the time you can't put in, whatever — here's one remedy. Take a stroll in a youth garden, one like this thriving oasis in Denver, created by grade-school and middle-school kids and some adult volunteers. Thursday I got the privilege of visiting the Fairview School Garden, talking with five of the eight kids in the program, and watching them harvest squash and broccoli and carrots, make seed tape and chop compost. They found beetles and rolly pollies. They gently moved mini-pumpkin vines off the pathways. They goggled at the seed heads on their broom corn and ornamental corn. They showed me flowers and sage and how to tie up cauliflower heads.
Ten-year-old Marcelino Vigil-Chavez showed me the zucchini he'd just picked. "We've been watching that one a while. But I don't think it's going to get any bigger so we picked it. Three days ago it was just this big" — and he holds his fingers apart to show me. "We check on them because some of them escape. One time we found one that was THIS big" — and he holds his hands out as wide as his legs.
Denver Urban Gardens' education coordinator, Judy Elliott, watches over this garden. She runs a yearlong nutrition gardening curriculum at Fairview that kids have to apply for with written essays. "Twelve years ago, this was a thistle patch," she says. No Round-Up was used to transform it into this acre of Eden, just time and community members' sweat.
Many of the kids involved bring their parents or other family members into the garden; Jirah comes almost every day to water the garden, bringing her mother and sometimes her grandmother. This fall, she won't be at Fairview School; she's headed to sixth grade at the Denver Center for International Studies, where she's looking forward to taking Japanese and geography, among other subjects. But she'll return to the garden. "I'm coming back here for forever," she says.
As the kids harvest and mulch, a poster the kids in the program painted tells visitors, "We have spent our time/growing vegetables to be divine/If you pick them it would be a crime." But Jirah says the garden's had less vandalism this year than last year.
Fairview Elementary is in the lowest-income neighborhood in the state; in many ways the most geographically isolated in Denver. Last summer, Denver Post columnist Tina Griego wrote a series about the Sun Valley neighborhood that Fairview serves, which will in the coming years be home to a light-rail station — and, surely, change, whether for better or worse.
None of that matters to these kids on this cool, sunny morning in their thriving garden where celosia and marigolds and squash and pumpkins are blooming, where deep-purple millet seed heads wave, where tomatoes wait to ripen. Instead, Marcelino and his friend Ismael Mugoya are eager to show Denver Post videographer Mahala Gaylord the difference between the male and female squash blossoms. Ismael showed me the first tiny, marble-sized "Baby Boo" pumpkins on the vines. Ismael's sister Fatuma showed me a handful of just-harvested carrots.
There in the garden, our own cares faded into the background, too. Mahala's current project is a series of interviews for the upcoming 10th anniversary of 9/11. As for myself, I was able to forget for a while that I had a family member undergoing cancer surgery at a hospital in Arizona. That's just one part of the magic of a garden.
I think Elliott's favorite part of this garden, and community gardens in general, are how they tap the skills of the neighborhood. She told me about Ismael and Fatuma's mother, who grows amaranth for its edible greens between her bean vines in her community plots in the garden. "When you connect people to growing and nurturing, it connects everything," Elliott told me.
Which brings me to this week's …
Dirt Date. If you want to support youth gardens, visit one of their farmers' markets. The Fairview School Garden will have one this Sunday, from noon to two, at the school that's practically in the shadow of Mile High Stadium, at 12th and Decatur streets. They'll have vegetables, flowers, and dill seed balls for sale. (I'm eager to try this trick for getting dill seed to germinate, which I've always found challenging). Or come out to the youth gardeners' Harvest Festival Sept. 25, where there'll be squash carving, Zumba dancing, and lots of other activities.

Harwinton begins sidewalk repairs, upgrades thanks to LoCIP grant funds
HARWINTON >> The first stage of the sidewalk repair project, under the LoCIP grant funds given to the town, began on Monday at the town hall.
The sidewalk project, which was budgeted for $53,000 with the actual cost of work coming under $15,000 or $20,000 less, is a solution to safety hazards at the town hall and library.
According to First Selectman Mike Criss, there have been numerous instances of residents falling and hurting themselves so the repairs will hopefully minimize those instances.
"The sidewalks and the stairs were all safety hazards. They didn't meet current ADA compliances," said Criss.
The whole project will be done by T.R. Design in Bristol and includes construction at the town hall, library and senior center with the senior center work already completed.
One of the benefits of the repairs is that it will give relief to the highway department who in the past has had to patch up the sidewalks every month.
At a special town meeting two weeks ago, Harwinton residents approved spending $103,214 of local capital improvement project grant funds for the sidewalk repairs at the library and town hall, paving of the lower parking lot at the town hall, and roof repairs at the library and lights for the parking lot.
Work at the town hall and library is expected to be completed in one and a half weeks. The town hall will be open for the public yet residents will have to use the rear entrance.
"The nice thing is he (Tyler Reinhard, owner of T.R. Designs) is keeping the job really nice and neat which is key for us as a municipality being open," said Criss. "He's doing a job at still allowing the town hall to be open."
The next project under the LoCIP grant funds will be repairs on the library roof in order to correct roof drainage issues in two weeks. Curbing and drainage issues in the rear parking lot behind the town hall will be another project that is expected to be repaired.

Photo: London 2012
As part of my London trip, I attended a university track and field event at the Olympic Park. On the northeastern outskirts of London, this is a former industrial wasteland that has been transformed with $15 billion into a consumer/spectator wasteland (enough to fund three or four Shanghai Disney resorts). Paths between venues are on a vast inhuman scale, with hardly any art or sculpture to break up the long walks.Athlete housing is visible from the park and it strongly resembles the Cabrini-Green housing project. Supposedly the apartments will be turned over to local residents (who tend to be low-income immigrants from Muslim countries; this is the same area that was supposed to be home to the largest mosque in Europe) after the Olympics.
It is tough to understand how this is all going to work for spectators. With the stadium literally only about one per cent full, there were long queues for coffee and snacks. It took about 10 minutes to get through an airport-style security process with complete X-ray and metal detector screening. An average of about 100,000 people per day show up at the world's busiest airports, but they tend to arrive in a reasonably randomly distributed manner. The stadium alone holds 80,000 people and they will be arriving in tight blocks.
The English are going generally crazy spending money for security (story putting the total cost of the event at $17.6 billion). There are surface-to-air missiles being mounted on rooftops. In case the British military needs to invade its own country, while I was there they sailed their navy's largest ship, a 22,000 ton amphibious assault vessel, up the Thames (story). If nothing else, billions spent on security has to be considered a subtraction from a nation's wealth.
Ordinary London residents are expected to suffer miserably during the Olympics as well. The Tube is full of posters telling people to expect queues of up to one hour in length to get onto the subway system at the busier stations. They also suggest walking or riding a bicycle. Presumably much of what visitors spend in London during the Olympics will be offset by locals fleeing to Spain.
Is this all worth it? I can't figure out what the economic effect of the games is supposed to be, even in the best case. Tickets are about $160 per person per event. Presumably most of the spectators will be from the U.K. Even if they sold enough to break even would that be a gain for the country? How is it different than growing GDP by breaking windows and re-glazing them? A person who spends $600 to take his or her family to an Olympic event has a happy memory, presumably, but is not any more ready to be productive than a person who takes $600 in cash out to the backyard and sets it on fire. If a vibrant sports culture and a lot of interested spectators could help a country grow, wouldn't Nigeria be rich? The Greeks are passionate enough about soccer to set their stadiums on fire (story) but that doesn't seem to be helping them pay their debts or grow their economy.
If mass spectator sports are not helpful to an economy or to a people, why do governments keep pouring tax dollars into them? In a 2009 blog posting, I wrote that it was might be because a politician can use taxpayer funds to build his or her career. In the case of London 2012, however, it does not seem as though the politicians who committed the taxpayer funds to host the event are still in power.

Via Fatshionista, I just found out about livingxl.com, which offers everything from towels and bathrobes to camping gear, patio furniture, and lifejackets scaled for tall and fat folks. Awesome.
8 thoughts on "Living XL"
I do not see this stuff as being any different than what I see at target, maybe their clothing line will make me a believer I looked at their online catalog and outerwear was a dead link.
I was just poking around that catalog. *grin* I like the idea of it.
Gordita, I'm not sure which items you're referencing but a lot of this stuff is quite different, size and scale-wise, from the stuff at Target. The sleeping bags, for instance, are larger in dimension. The hangers without clips are oversized, so that shirts with larger necklines won't slip off. I think that's really kind of ingenious. Of course, I was hanging up laundry and my dresses kept slipping off of my Target hangers, so I might be biased!
I think I was talking about the look of the stuff, it has little style(big girls like nice things too).
as far as the size and dimension of the stuff I'm good wit that, hell even when i was thin I never fit right in chairs(my mother said as what happened to her the rest of my body caught up with my ass).
I took fencing in college and one of the most embarrassing things ever was trying to find a suit that would fit me. I think a lot of fat people shy away from activities that require any sort of equipment for just that reason. I'm really happy that there is this resource.
Not that I'm any more likely to go camping any time soon (I am allergic to, like, the whole planet and all the bugs on it) but I like having the access to equipment. *grin*
I feel yah, I'm a city girl, I never travel outside of 2 miles from a 7-11.
But if it was not for the fact I can make my own cloths I'd be screwed, I have a weired size.
I need info on toilet seats for the for the larger butts
I'm reading through your archives and that site is awesome! Thanks for the link!

Championship Baseball
Commodore 64
What do you need help on? Cancel X
Championship Baseball has it all. You begin by drafting a team. Look over the talent pool. You'll need starting pitchers, relievers, infielders, outfielders, even utility players for bench strength. Consider each player's talents carefully before putting them on your team. Once you've selected your team, set your batting order. Then choose which of the four divisions suits you, and play ball! Championship Baseball gives you more options. You may want to start with some batting practice to master the fine art of hitting a screwball. Then, challenge a friend or the computer to 9 innings of intense action. When you're ready, pick your team and enter the 4-division, 24-team race for the pennant! You control all the action - pitching, hitting, catching, outfield relays, base running, even sliding under tags. All in the most realistic baseball simulation you can find!

What Is a Web Marketing Agency?
Choose The Best Social Media Campaign Plan Template
Web marketing has several names. Some of the common synonyms are e-marketing, online marketing or internet marketing. It typically means propaganda or promotion of products and services. This platform has grown phenomenally over the past few years, as people have started spending increasing number of hours, either surfing, shopping, reviewing or downloading.
A web marketing process typically begins with market analysis and developing strategies for customer engagement, feedback and reporting.
A web marketing agency combines creativity which includes clean and user friendly web-design and internet technologies to create an explosive marketing platform. It ties together both these elements to accomplish several marketing chores.
The former includes on-site SEO such as search engine friendly web design and semantic coding, effective keywords and relevant Meta tags. The latter includes off site SEO which exploits a host of internet technologies and platforms. Search engine optimization or SEO is done to increase traffic. Higher traffic results in greater popularity, sales and profits. Mentioned below are some of the off site SEO strategies.
- Search engine optimization (SEO) – Integrating the right keywords and Meta tags. This typically results in higher page ranking in an organic search.
- PPC or pay per click – Bidding for popular keywords that are relevant to your content, products or services. Bidding generally means buying a space on the search results page. It is a kind of paid placement.
- Banner ads on relevant websites – Banner ads are placed on popular web portals to drive traffic to your company's website. This results in increased traffic. The idea is to increase product awareness.
- Social Media – Once again the idea is to generate leads by creating a solid and informative presence on social networking sites. It allows visitors and members to vouch for your products and thereby increase acceptance and attention.
- Blog and content writing – This strategy involves creating and sharing informative content. It allows companies to attract new customers.
- Emails & Newsletters – A part of direct marketing, which is still used for promoting products and services.
- Mobile advertising – Integrated SMS feature is yet another off site SEO strategy.
SEO, or search engine optimization, is a process where a website is optimized to fetch top ranking in search results page, whenever a related search is made by the user. An SEO company adopts above mentioned strategies, to get top ranking and sustain that position over a period of time. These are usually divided into three parts; aesthetically pleasing & search engine friendly web design model, on site SEO and off site SEO.

There's the Blake we knew
The one who'd show up to the Met Gala with her ass hanging out of a too short, too small dress. The one who claimed to not have a stylist and tarted up all her clothes. That Girl hasn't been around in a while. After her nude photos were "leaked" Blake Lively wore her clothes down to the knee and wasn't pushing her tits together. She also grew an impressive fame game, playing Leonardo DiCaprio through the summer, and now finding her way into Ryan Reynolds's Boston apartment every weekend.
Last night though, in NYC at the Christian Louboutin book launch (why do I need to read a book about his shoes when I'd rather be wearing the shoes???), Blake kicked it a little old school in a super tight, super short Dolce & Gabbana that paid particular attention to her breasts.
Oh ... really?
And who's the celebrity spokesmodel for Dolce & Gabbana? That's right, it's Scarlett Johansson. And this, this is definitely a design made with Scarlett Johansson in mind. Coincidence or conspiracy? "I have your ex-husband, now I'm going after your labels too."

Sophie Granberry is one of Calumet's fantastic summer camp counselors. She grew up in Boston and started coming to Calumet when she was just a kid with a family friend. Fast forward a bunch of summers during which she met great friends, participated in one of Calumet's Leadership Training programs, and shared the Calumet Spirit with lots of kids. Sophie loves everything about Calumet so much that she even joined this year's "Reach the Beach" fundraiser. She's awesome.
Cam and Jerry have been among the biggest Calumet cheerleaders for many years. Jerry served on Calumet's Board of Directors for a number of years and he leads the Calumet seasonal hike for adults. Until 2013, Cam served on Calumet's summer staff as one of the key people in the Reservation Office who get the Resident Camp for Kids all set. Cam and Jerry believe in what happens here and are always quick to lend a hand. They are members at the Lutheran Church of the Nativity in North Conway, NH.
Adam Fales and Eric Eckblom are here at the very top of Calumet's Toboggan Run. Okay, okay ... we don't use toboggans - but we can't change the name of one of Calumet's iconic spots just because of that kind of small detail, can we? Adam is one of Calumet's fantastic staff people who leads all kinds of programs for children and youth. He has a mind for safety, fun, and development. Eric is the son of alum Brian Eckblom. The Eckbloms visit camp all year long and just love what happens here. I bet Eric will be at the top of the Toboggan Run soon.

Scientists Study Desert Air to Understand Weather and Climate
The United Arab Emirates Unified Aerosol Experiment mission runs from August 5 through September 30. Scientists are using satellites, computer models and ground stations to understand the unique "mixing bowl" of desert dust, smoke and other aerosols created by the complex atmospheric circulations.
"Man-made emissions, smoke from the Indian subcontinent and desert dust combine in the air to make a unique aerosol laboratory," said Hal Maring of NASA Headquarters, Washington.
"We have the most intensely monitored remote-sensing aerosol network ever assembled, including two radiation and aerosol super sites, 10 satellite instruments, six computer models, a research aircraft and a research vessel," said Jeff Reid, mission scientist from the Naval Research Laboratory in Monterey, Calif. "There are 70 scientists participating, 40 of them working in the field, from over a dozen institutions, including the large South African and Colorado-based National Center for Atmospheric Research weather modification teams," he added.
Aerosols have always been an interesting puzzle piece in learning how climate works. Lighter aerosols reflect heat and sunlight and have cooling properties. Darker aerosols absorb heat and light, warming the atmosphere. This mission will measure aerosol properties, where aerosols move, and whether they add or remove warmth. Scientists also hope to model and explain complicated weather patterns in the coastal regions of the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
By obtaining more accurate data about aerosols and their behavior, scientists will improve computer climate models and predictions of climate behavior in response to changes in aerosol concentrations. To accomplish this task, NASA will start from space, using primarily its Terra and Aqua satellites, but other satellites as well. Aboard Terra, the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer instrument, built and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., will provide an independent measure of aerosol size and concentration, as well as altitude in some cases. That instrument observes aerosols over both land and ocean.
These satellite data will be compared to ground-based remote sensing measurements of mineral dust and pollutant aerosols gathered by 15 Aerosol Robotic Network instruments over land and water, the Naval Research Laboratory's Mobile Atmospheric Aerosol and Radiation Characterization Observatory and NASA's Surface-sensing Measurements for Atmospheric Radiative Transfer.
Navy researchers will use the aircraft, the Naval Research Laboratory observatory and satellite data to evaluate the Navy's global and regional weather and aerosol-transport computer models. The Arabian Gulf region presents a challenge to meteorologists trying to simulate weather with computer models because sea-surface and land temperatures vary to extremes and the topography varies dramatically. There are also strong small to medium-sized weather changes ranging from one storm cloud to a large cluster of thunderstorms the size of Connecticut.
Using the Naval Research Laboratory observatory, scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Poland's Warsaw University will study the impact of aerosols and clouds on incoming solar radiation and the hydrologic cycle and energy balance in this mostly rain-free area.
"This project will complement Scripps' effort to understand climate change in this region of the world," said Piotr Flatau, a research scientist at Scripps, who will be working with Krzysztof Markowicz and others from Warsaw University during the project. "I know the Arabian Sea from research cruises during the Indian Ocean Experiment, but this mission brings a new set of challenges. While the Indian Ocean Experiment took place in a mostly monsoonal region, the United Arab Emirates is dry and hot. The temperatures are reaching 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) there right now and we do not expect much rain," Flatau said.
"The United Arab Emirates Office of His Highness the President, Department of Water Resource Studies, is providing extensive logistical support, including access to five weather radars and 50 surface stations," said Lt. Col. Mangoosh, Office of the President of the United Arab Emirates.

Hit MTV Show Comes to CMT Allowing Adults to Fulfill Lifelong Dreams
NASHVILLE - July 21, 2011 - It's never too late to chase after a dream and CMT is giving adults the opportunity to do so when CMT MADE premieres Wednesday, August 17 at 10:00 p.m., ET/PT. From the producers of the Emmy(R)-award winning MTV show, this eight-episode series follows adults, not teens, as they embark on a mission to transform their life, highlighting both the challenges and accomplishments they face throughout their journey of being MADE. CMT MADE will air in its regular Thursday night one-hour timeslot at 8:00 p.m., ET/PT, beginning Thursday, August 25.
Whether it's a hard-working mother with a desire for speed and to be MADE into a race car driver, or a stay-at-home pastor's wife aspiring to be MADE into a hip hop dancer, each episode will capture what it's like for an individual to work towards fulfilling a dream that was thought to have passed. Mixing in family and work responsibilities, the end goal seems even more unattainable for this new generation of MADE participants.
The premiere episode of CMT MADE features Chris Guerra, a Texas police officer, loyal husband and loving father who has been interested in professional wrestling since he was a child. Now 28-years-old, Chris dreams of getting in the ring, battling against those he once admired on television and being MADE into a professional wrestler. Coached by "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan, former TNA World Tag Team Champion and current seven-foot, 330-pound monster, Chris' resolve will be tested and his lifelong goal will be reevaluated as he comes face to face with the harsh realities of pro wrestling, inside the ring and out.
CMT MADE is produced by One Louder Productions with Bob Kusbit and Francis Lyons serving as executive producers. Jayson Dinsmore and Melanie Moreau are executive producers for CMT.
CMT, a unit of Viacom's MTV Networks (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B), is the leading television and digital authority on country music and entertainment, reaching more than 93 million homes in the U.S. CMT and its website, CMT.com, offer an unparalleled mix of music, news, live concerts and series and is the top resource for country music on demand. The network's digital platforms include the 24-hour music channel, CMT Pure Country, CMT Mobile and CMT VOD.

Fair Projects for 2015
Deprecated: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead in /home/swamps42/maplewoolfarm.com/wp-content/themes/brown-stitch/wp-lightboxJS/wp-lightboxJS.php on line 40
It's getting to be the time of year when you've got to start thinking about what projects you're going to be making for your county and state fairs. Ideally you'd start too as working right up to the deadline is never fun, though it seems to happen more often than I'd like!
So far, most of my projects are rather bland looking, but I promise there are colorful projects coming too!
Here we have a lace baby sweater which will ultimately be part of a three-piece set, a knit lace doily, and a crochet lace bag all in progress.
I've also been working on filling the first of three bobbin lace pillows I'm making for myself. I really enjoy the bobbin lace beginners kit I got for Christmas, but the failings of a beginner 'pillow' are more than apparent. I done some research on the best and longest lasting bobbin lace pillows and how they're made. Then, I presented this information to my physical therapist and we worked out a stand set up to prevent any undue stress on my body. Now I'm building that stand and pillow set up! This is the first pillow in progress.
Kaia seemed rather displeased with my pillow stuffing as a few bits of straw landed on her in her bed!
The pillows are filled with natural straw cut into 4″ or shorter pieces. Cutting the straw is a painful and dull process, and stuffing the pillows is painful and slow going as a result, but when they're done, I'm going to have fantastic traditional bobbin lace pillows, a standard 24″ cookie pillow and a more rectangular pillow with a roller in the back for making yardage. The pillow above is the roller that will go into the rectangular pillow. The exterior is a natural canvas material sewn into a tube with drawstrings on either end. Inside, there is a dowel running the length and I have two discs cut from 1/4″ plywood. One disc is already in place at the bottom of the pillow and the other will go in just before cinching up the other drawstring. The dowel sticks out a few inches on either side which is how it will connect to the support pillow.
The last big WIP keeping me busy lately is a paper craft project. Some friends asked me to make a 4′ tall LEGO minifig as a decoration for a Boy Scout party in March. After that party, the gigantic LEGO man will be a county and state fair entry for me before finally being sold to the highest bidder to fund some new LEGO sets for me! The main framework of the minifig is cardboard sheeting from Costco. Some of guy pal's friends from work taught me how to use anti-fatigue mat foam to create the complex curves and gave me some foam to use for the project. Atop the cardboard and foam frame is paper maché. This will create a surface I can sand to a perfect finish. With the glossy paint a LEGO minifig has, any imperfections in the body will show. That's why I'm doing the paper maché coating. There will likely be some spackle to help fill any gaps prior to sanding as well. Here's the first two pieces being coated in paper maché, the head (which is upside down in this photo) and one of the arms. They're the most curvy pieces and thus require the most paper maché to get perfectly smooth.

Knowing God Through Love
Filed under: Metaphysics, moral psychology, Spirituality | Tags: Augustine, charity, De Trinitate, habit, Holy Spirit, Peter Lombard, Sentences, Thomas Aquinas |
The knowledge of God is often talked about in purely intellectual terms. Aquinas most definitely thinks that some knowledge of God is possible through rational reflection, as he expounds on in his notorious "Five Ways" whereby he offers several rational methods to argue for the existence of God. However, the Johannine tradition challenges intellectual renderings of our knowledge of the specifically Christian God:
"Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love" (1 John 4:7-8).
"So we have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them" (1 John 4:16).
God is love. Picking up on this, Augustine writes in Book VIII of De Trinitate that it is by love that we arrive at the knowledge of God:
No other thing, then, is chiefly to be regarded in this inquiry, which we make concerning the Trinity and concerning knowing God, except what is true love, nay, rather what is love. . . For as there are two commandments on which hang all the Law and the prophets, love of God and love of our neighbor . . . because he who loves God must both needs do what God has commanded, and loves Him just in such proportion as he does so; therefore he must needs also love his neighbor, because God has commanded it . . . the Law and the prophets hang on both precepts. But this, too, is because he who loves his neighbor must needs also love above all else love itself. But "God is love; and he that dwells in love, dwells in God." Therefore he must needs above all else love God" (De. Trin, Bk. VIII, ch. 7, n. 10).
In other words, we come to know God when we love because the love by which we love is God's very self. We need not look for God in nature, nor in argumentation, nor even in Scripture. True knowledge of God is derived rather from true love. When we love, we come to know God because it is the very presence of God in our heart which makes love possible.
This Augustinian formula became central in the 12th century in Peter Lombard's definition of grace as found in Book I of the Sentences. It is the Holy Spirit, Lombard tells us, that is the love by which we love God and neighbor:
It has been said above and it has been shown by sacred authorities, that the Holy Spirit is the love of the Father and the Son by which they love each other and us. It must be added to this that the very same Holy Spirit is the love or charity by which we love God and neighbor. When this charity is in us, so that it makes us love God and neighbor, then the Holy Spirit is said to be sent or given to us; and whoever loves the very love by which he loves his neighbor, in that very thing loves God, because that very love is God, that is, the Holy Spirit (Bk. I, Dist. 17, v. 2).
In other words, for Lombard, Christian love (charity) is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, so when we love, it is actually the Holy Spirit working in us that is loving with the same love that exists between God the Father and the Son.
Now, Aquinas will openly disagree with Lombard on this point. For Aquinas, charity is not the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, but rather a habit created in the will by the Holy Spirit. For Aquinas, it is the human will that loves by virtue of the fact that the Holy Spirit renders the will capable of loving through the supernatural habit of charity:
it is evident that the act of charity surpasses the nature of the power of the will, so that, therefore, unless some form be superadded to the natural power, inclining it to the act of love, this same act would be less perfect than the natural acts and the acts of the other powers; nor would it be easy and pleasurable to perform. And this is evidently untrue, since no virtue has such a strong inclination to its act as charity has, nor does any virtue perform its act with so great pleasure. Therefore it is most necessary that, for us to perform the act of charity, there should be in us some habitual form superadded to the natural power, inclining that power to the act of charity, and causing it to act with ease and pleasure (II-II, q. 23, a. 2).
Despite this very significant disagreement between Lombard and Aquinas about what charity is, they are in agreement that love (charity) is made possible by an intense intimacy between God and humans. For Lombard, this intimacy is defined in terms of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit; for Aquinas, it is expressed in terms of friendship and a communication of God's happiness to us (II-II, q. 23, a. 1). For both, hearkening back to the Augustinian position, love is a critically important way in which we come to know God.
Ultimately, Augustine's, Lombard's, and Aquinas's positions on love are metaphysical in nature. They are not saying that we consciously choose to know and love God when we love our neighbor. They are all trying to characterize the essence of human love in light of the fact that God has revealed Godself as love. But for all three, metaphysical reflection on the nature of love can lead us into a more conscious understanding of the God who makes love possible. As Augustine writes,
Let no one say, I do not know what I love. Let him love his brother, and he will love the same love. For he knows the love with which he loves, more than the brother whom he loves. So now he can know God more than he knows his brother: clearly known more, because more present; known more, because more within him; known more, because more certain. Embrace the love of God, and by love embrace God (De Trin Bk. VIII, ch. 8, v. 12).

Nice post. I just had two conversations in the last week or so with people about the dialectic Augustine sets up between love of God and knowledge of God. I really like him on that point.

"We'll be right there at the end of the year," says long time San Juan football coach Monty Lee, who is in his fifth year as head coach. "This team will uphold the tradition that many players and teams before them have built."
The players of the 2007 version of the Broncos begin their 2006 title defense this Friday night in Blanding against the 2006 1A runnerup Kanab Cowboys.
The Broncos will be trying to replace the cogs of that 10-2 title team of a year ago, particularly Tranner Sharpe and Marley Haws, whose "gaming experience will be missed" at the beginning of the season.
However, Lee expects that this year's team will find themselves as the season progresses. The intimidation factor the juniors sometimes feel with the seniors wears off as experience is earned.
Six offensive players to watch in 2007 include junior Kohler Black, who will man the all-important fullback spot in the powerful Bronco offense. "The kid is the most physically sound athlete," marvels Lee, "We find him constantly in the weight room."
Another junior, Nathan Einerson, brings quickness and experience to his running back spot.
Senior twin linemen Matt and Scott Jeppson ("solid power and strength") and senior Brinton Sharpe ("the biggest player in 2A at over 300 pounds") along with another senior,Marcus Conway, give the Broncos an offensive line that will average 240 pounds.
Look for the Broncos to be dominant between the tackles, but "if teams slow us down inside, they better hitch their wagons cuz we'll be running around them," warns Lee.
Four players to watch on defense. Defense is where Lee puts junior Kyle Johnson, "the smartest kid I've ever coached." Johnson will man the free safety spot and be the backup quarterback.
San Juan coaches are also looking for great things from junior Oliver Parker from his outside linebacker spot.
The Jeppson boys will be key cogs in that Bronco defense as well.
Dane Lyman, who is returning for his senior year at quarterback, is Lee's most improved player. "His field savvy and field awareness is outstanding."
Junior Terron Jack has also shown great progress, running better, crisper patterns from his receiver spot.
Juniors Lewis Sharpe and Jayson Palmer are newcomers to varsity ball. Lee has been pleased with them in practice, Sharpe at running back and Palmer at receiver.
Always interested in improving, Lee has scheduled some first-rate preseason games. The Broncos, according to Lee, will be hardened by games with Kanab, Cortez, and Monticello in the preseason. "Cedar City will be some tremendous competition," he adds. "We need to be tested."
Then, of course, in league play, Millard will be the team to beat, along with San Juan. Moab, Richfield and Beaver will all be great games.
Perspective: Coach Lee, as mentioned, begins his fifth year as Bronco head coach, although he has been coaching football and other sports in Utah for over 25 years.
Why do you do it coach? "That's a good question," he remarks. "Arrogance," he smiles. If I gave it up and the next coach that came along was as successful as we have been, then I would finally realize I'm not half as good as I thought I was." he says tongue in cheek.
No, Lee coaches because he loves football and the purposes for which it stands. "It signifies and epitomizes character building, bringing together people from all walks of life. It is one of the greatest teachers coaching kids the right things. I do it because of what it does for kids."
Lee says he doesn't care about the championships, records and wins. He hopes the kids are better from being a part of the program. Coaches don't do it for the accolades, according to Lee, or their own agendas, because to do so would disgrace the game.
In addition, Lee gives all the credit to his assistants. "They make the program," he says. "We have probably the most experienced coaching staff in America," he says of the staff that boasts nearly 100 years of coaching football, mostly at San Juan. "I get the accolades when we win and the boo birds when we lose, but our program is built on the shoulders of our assistants,
Shane Shumway, Ricky Eldredge, Ryan Nielson, Chip Sharpe, and Miles Harrison." See you soon at one of the two most exciting places to be in Blanding this time of year. The other? The volleyball court, but that's for another day.

There have been reports of minor damage and potential gas leaks following a 5.1 earthquake near La Habra, officials said.
Reports of natural gas leaks began flooding in to officials once the shaking stopped, Los Angeles County Fire Department Dispatch Supervisor Ed Pickett said.
"We've got reports of lots of gas leaks in the Rowland Heights and La Habra areas," he said.
Authorities were still working to assess and attend to the damage, Pickett said.

Interference occurs when unwanted radio frequency signals disrupt the use of your television, radio or cordless telephone. Interference may prevent reception altogether, may cause only a temporary loss of a signal, or may affect the quality of the sound or picture produced by your equipment. The two most common causes of interference are transmitters and electrical equipment.
Transmitter interference
Communication systems that transmit signals capable of generating interference include amateur radios, CBs and radio and television stations.
Design flaws such as insufficient filtering and inadequate shielding or frayed or corroded wires may make equipment susceptible to transmitter interference.
To determine whether the interference is caused by a transmitter or electrical equipment, unplug one household electronic component at a time to see if you can isolate any electrical interference source.
If your equipment is reacting to nearby transmitters such as an amateur radio or CB, you will have interference only when the radio operator is talking and you will be able to hear only half of the conversation. If this is the case, you may be able to verify the interference source if you see an antenna mounted on a nearby house or car.
Cordless telephones use radio frequencies and have no protection from interference. If you are experiencing interference on your cordless phone, you should contact the equipment manufacturer for assistance.
Electrical interference and your TV
Electrical interference appears on the audio and video portion of television programming. Short bursts of interference may be caused by hair dryers, sewing machines, electric drills, doorbell transformers and garage door openers. If the pattern is on continuously, it may be caused by equipment that is in use full time, such as aquarium heaters and fluorescent lighting.
Electrical interference may be caused by power lines or electrical equipment in your home. Interference caused by your power company's electrical equipment is normally continuous and your power company should be notified.
A simple method of determining the location of electrical interference is by using a portable AM radio tuned to a quiet frequency at the lower end of the dial. You should hear static or a buzzing sound as you get close to the source of the interference. The closer you get, the more intense the static will be.
If you cannot locate the interference source in your own house, check with your neighbors to see if they also experience interference. The source may be in their home.
If you cannot determine the source of the electrical interference, contact the customer service department of your local power company. Most power companies will investigate the problem and take steps to correct it.

If you want to change the schedule, date or destination of your ticket, and if your ticket allows it, you will have to check the regulations, flight schedule and ticket status, among other factors. Here are the main details to keep in mind before making a change.
Check the status of your ticket
If you want to make a change, check if your ticket has or has not been used. The way we price your fare will depend on this.
Unused tickets
If you have not yet traveled and want to make a change, we will price the new ticket with the fare we have available at the time you make the change.
Used tickets
If you already flew a part of your trip and want to make a change, we will apply the fares valid at the time you bought the original ticket.
Make your change on time
Before making a change, remember to look at the flight time. If you make changes after that time, the fine could be greater or could prevent you from making the change.
Check the restrictions of each flight
Keep in mind that your trip may include various flights and that each flight may have different regulations. You can make a change if your new ticket complies with the regulations of the rest of your itinerary.
These two flights could have different regulations. If you want to modify Flight 2 LIM-MIA, that allows for a change, you have to check if it respects the regulations of Flight 1 SCL-LIM. For example: minimum stay on trip.
Choose any available fare
If you already checked and know that you can make the change, your new ticket may have a higher or lower fare when you make the change, according to what is available at that time. If you switch to a lower fare and the original ticket is refundable, we will refund you the difference in cash. In all other cases, the refund will be made with a Travel Voucher. If you choose a more expensive fare, you will have to pay the difference in order to pay for the full cost of your new ticket. Keep in mind that changes may carry a penalty fee and that there may be a difference in applicable taxes and fees.
How much is the penalty for changing a ticket?
If your ticket allows for a change with a fine, the price will depend on the type of ticket you bought. You can see this information in the Purchase receipt that we sent to your email address at the time of the purchase, under the Changes and Returns section. If you are going to make changes to two or more flights of the same trip, only the highest fine will be applicable for each change you make.
Please remember that any changes made will affect all passengers under the same reservation. Therefore, if you'd like to change the date, time or destination for only one of the passengers, you'll need to call our Contact Center.
