Neighborhood eyewitnesses and an observant sheriff's deputy snag two burglary suspects in the north Fort Bend County community of Cinco Ranch.
It all began with a burglary spree on January 29, in the 2700 block of Zachary Bend Lane in the Woodhaven section of Cinco Ranch, said Sheriff's spokesman Bob Haenel.
Deputies responded to 911 calls in the area and when they arrived they were told by a neighbor of the home that had been burglarized that she had seen a black SUV with one person in it and saw one other person get into the vehicle and leave explained, Haenel.
Then things began to fall together, because earlier that day, in the 3900 block of Diamondale Court, a suspicious vehicle was reported and photographed by a concerned resident. Shortly thereafter a deputy arrived to answer an alarm call. The concerned resident was able to show her suspicious vehicle photo to the deputy. It just so happened that the picture was of a black SUV. All deputies in the area were alerted to the description of the vehicle and they found one matching that description in the parking lot of a retail store on Westheimer Parkway, said Haenel.
The two occupants were detained as deputies investigated. The witnesses were able to identify the vehicle as the suspicious one they had seen in their neighborhood as well as identifying one of the occupants as the man they had seen at the burglarized home.
The arrests of Christopher Mayfield, 22, of Katy, and Floyd Wilson, 24, of Houston have cleared two residential burglary cases in the Cinco Ranch area of Fort Bend County. "Fort Bend County detectives searched one of the suspect's homes and recovered stolen property that helped clear eight Harris County Sheriff's Office cases," said Haenel.
Both men are facing two counts of Burglary of a Habitation in Fort Bend County and numerous other charges in Harris County.
Mayfield and Wilson were booked into the Fort Bend County Jail with $10,000 bonds on each Fort Bend burglary. Mayfield posted bail, while Wilson remained in the jail.

As a new juice bar owner, you need to keep a strict eye on your start-up expenses. To ensure your continuing success, though, you need to consider not only the initial cost of the equipment you purchase but also its long-term effect on your profitability. For example, a less expensive, less powerful juicer may initially be more affordable, but in the long run it will damage your business if its poor performance leads to dissatisfied customers. This same principle applies to your juice bar POS solution: a cut-rate POS that lacks the essential functionality you need is no bargain. Fortuitously, Calypso's Juice Bar POS solution is truly affordable in every sense – it is affordable to purchase, saves you money as you operate your business, and has all the functionality you need to make your juice bar a profitable success!
Calypso's affordable juice bar POS solutions help ensure your juice bar's profitability the entire time you own your business, by:
Lowering Expenses
To help you stick to your start-up budget, Calypso's juice bar POS requires only a low initial investment. Credit, debit, and gift card processing is already an integrated part of Calypso's affordable juice bar POS solutions, so you do not have to purchase third party processing equipment or pay to have an extra phone line installed.

iPad Mini Versus The Rest
Ok heads up. I was surprised that the iPad Mini was priced a little lower than expected (refer to my earlier blog) I was thinking it would have costed at least US$399 but it turned out, it's just $329 for the 16GB model. Now 16GB is all you need if you are going to load up your entire library of magazines and books.
The prices goes up, there are 16GB, 32GB and the 64GB version and frankly, you need to be sure on what you are going to use it for before jumping in. Watching porn? Well, I suggest you look at the 32GB version. I am sure your wife won't mind as long as she doesn't find out.
For one, the screen quality is the same as the first generation iPad, which is not a bad thing. But there are some caveats on this when it comes to viewing.
3G Cellular or 4G?
Excite 7.7 and Galaxy Tab 7.7 are both AMOLED equipped. Now I have a AMOLED Galaxy Tab 7.7, it's a pleasure to use. Graphics are crystal clear and sharp. What's more, it's got 3G already built in. Plus you can use this as a phone if you wish. This competes with the 4G version of the iPad mini. Price? The iPad 4G would probably be cheaper if you compared RRP but on the street, it's an even split for the 16GB model. I must tell you that I hate the MicroSIM thingy on the iPad. That said, I won't bother with it. There is also the question of storage. The 16GB mini is the retarded brother of the iPad line. You need more than that to store you r movies, music and media.
If you compared the 32GB models, then you're out of luck. The Excite and Tab with its microSD expandability will beat it. Technically speaking, the only reason why you'd buy an iPad mini with 4G is that because the Nexus 7 doesn't meet your criteria for connection.
Wifi Only?
The Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD are in the same ballpark as the WiFi models. iPad mini is still more expensive but let's not forget it has a spiffy 5 megapixel camera. This alone will be able to justify the photog in you.
The Nexus 7 with the better display is in the same ballpark if you don't want to consider the functionality of a rear 5 megapixel camera iPad mini.
Gaming and Fun
Sad but true, your iPad Mini will run out of breath if it is used for gaming. The processor and the display won't handle anything but vintage software meant for your iPad2. You can still use the newer apps if you don't mind it lagging a little, well a lot if you are playing those huge 500mb downloaded games. Angry birds is fine. Batman….? You might be pushing it.
Articles of Mass Consumption
When the Nexus 7 was released, it was supposed to be the e-reader of choice. The Kindle Fire fitted into the same mold. The iPad mini hopes to do the same with iBooks.
The iPad mini will handle all your PDF and ePub files with aplomb. Music files are fine too but movies, well you gotta give it some leeway as the viewing won't be as stellar as on a AMOLED device….sorry…Retina device.
The screen density won't be a problem for reading stuff on the iPad mini. It's fine. Not great but good enough. But if you are going to be reading stuff only, why the heck would you want to invest in a iPad mini when you can get a better quality display with the Nexus 7??
Go figure.

DOI: doi:10.1016/j.patrec.2010.04.011
In recent years there has been a growing trend towards the inclusion of diverse genomic information to support comprehensive large-scale prediction of protein–protein interaction networks. The Gene Ontology (GO) is one such functional knowledge resource, which consists of three hierarchies to describe functional attributes of gene products: Molecular function, biological process, and cellular component. Using Bayesian networks, this paper presents a framework for the probabilistic combination of semantic similarity knowledge extracted from the three GO hierarchies for analysis of protein–protein interaction networks and demonstrates its application in yeast. The results indicate that by integrating information encoded in the GO hierarchies a better result can be achieved in terms of both statistical prediction capability and potential biological relevance.

How to unshrink clothing
It's a common laundry mistake, but accidentally shrinking your clothes isn't the end of the world.
Different types of fabrics shrink for different reasons, but the main culprit is exposure to heat.
According to Business Insider, washing cotton and wool in hot water could be the reason your garments are shrinking.
Basically, fibres are stressed and stretched to make clothing. The heat that comes with a laundry cycle acts a stress reliever, causing the fabrics to return to their original state.
Luckily, according to Readers Digest, there's a simple way to unshrink your clothing.
RELATED: Tips to make doing the laundry less stressful
All you need is baby shampoo or a soft conditioner. Fill up a bucket or a bowl or lukewarm water and add 1 TBS of the conditioner. Soak for 30 minutes, dry flat while stretching back in place.
"An easy way to do this is by placing the clothing flat on a towel and rolling it up so that it is damp, not soaking wet. Then, carefully unroll your garment and lay it flat to dry," the publication says.
"Be sure to pin the edges or use heavy objects to stretch out the material during the drying process. And voila! Your favourite cotton t-shirt is back to being wearable."

Kyle Williams Returns From First NFL Mini-Camp
LSU Sports Interactive
BATON ROUGE -- Former LSU all-American Kyle Williams got his first taste of the NFL last weekend as the Ruston native took part in a mini-camp with the Buffalo Bills at the team's practice facility in Orchard Park, N.Y.
Williams spent three days on the practice field with the Bills, getting acclimated to a new team, new teammates and a new coaching staff. Williams said the team went through two practices each day, which were capped by meetings each night.
"You can definitely tell that this is a business and that every player is fighting for a position," Williams said. "It wasn't like college where the seniors are trying to help the young guys along.
"You have guys trying to make a living and that's how they go about their business."
Williams did say that it was nice to see some friendly faces in former Tigers Josh Reed and Robert Royal. Reed, a former All-America wide receiver at LSU, just completed his fourth season with the Bills, while Royal, a tight end, is in his first year with Buffalo after spending the past four years with the Redskins.
"It was nice to see those guys (Reed and Royal) up there," Williams said. "It's a good feeling because you know that they will be there for you, answering any questions you may have or giving you advice when you need it. Those guys have been in the NFL so they know how things work and I'm just glad to know that I can turn to them when I need it."
Reed and Royal aren't the only former Tigers affiliated with the Bills as two past LSU assistant coaches and another former player are on the staff in Buffalo. Tyke Tolbert, who played at LSU from 1988-90, serves as Buffalo's wide receivers coach, Charlie Coiner is their tight ends coach and Larry Zierlein is the offensive line coach.
Williams will be coached on the defensive line by Bill Kollar, a veteran NFL coach who has more than 25 years of experience in the league.
"Coach Kollar is an effort guy," Williams said. "He wants his players to give their best effort and play all-out on each play, which is the way I approach the game."
Williams, who made a name at LSU as a hard-nosed player who gave it his all on every play, said he will return to Buffalo later this month to participate in the Organized Team Activity (OTA) followed by the NFL Rookie Symposium in late June. The team will start training camp in mid-July in Rochester, N.Y.
In the meantime, Williams will turn his attention back to being a college student as he will spend the remainder of this week taking final exams.

Moving to London From America Advice
When you're moving to London from America there is a lot of excitement, adventure and unfortunately, paperwork.
When you're moving to London from America there is a lot of excitement, adventure and unfortunately, paperwork.
Moving to London in 2012 doesn't have to be a massive task when you do a little preparation. Deciding what to pack when you're moving to London in 2012 may be the most difficult part of the job!
Due to the United States being a generally comfortable climate to live in, a large portion of people amoving to London from America will be a bit skeptical about the weather conditions in the United Kingdom. When packing clothes to take for relocation, this can be tricky. To prevent you from getting caught in the rain wearing shorts or stuck wearing a thick jacket in the sunshine, it is worth broadening your knowledge on the weather in London. By doing so, you can be sure that moving to London from America will be a pleasant and stress-free experience.
For many individuals moving to London from America keeping housing expenses to a bare minimum is required making finding London flats for less essential. While having one's own London flat is the preference that is not always possible with London being one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in.
Those Americans moving to London searching for the London neighborhoods with the trendiest residents, best night life and swank loft apartments need look no farther than Clerkenwell. Located near the City of London this once dilapidated neighborhood was home to a revival in the 1980s and 1990s making it become one of the hottest spots in all of London. Many of the industrial buildings have been transformed into modern lofts and architects and designers flock to Clerkenwell. Clerkenwell is also known as offering the best food of all the London neighborhoods.

Photo Credit: Getty/Bruce Bennett By SHEILA ANNE FEENEY firstname.lastname@example.com June 18, 2014 5:35 PM Print Share fbShare Tweet Email A bevy of local Dems have joined Mayor Bill de Blasio in calling for the 2016 Democratic National Convention to be held at the Barclays Center. U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, and Reps. Jerrold Nadler, Carolyn B. Maloney, Nydia Velazquez, Yvette Clarke and Hakeem Jeffries have joined the chorus singing Brooklyn's qualifications as the ideal place for the political-palooza. "New York City has shown over and over again from the Super Bowl to previous Democratic conventions that we are the biggest and best stage for a big event," Gillibrand asserted in a statement that asked Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to select the borough of Kings for the king (or queen) making event. "Not only are Brooklyn residents, and, indeed, New Yorkers as a whole, civically engaged and supportive of the Democatic Party's core values, but we know how to throw a really great party," added Maloney. The Barclays Center is the best option "and other cities should fuhgeddaboutit," declared Schumer in the release that praised "Brooklyn's proximity to hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions and its access to the best transportation system in the world." The Democratic National Committee invited 16 cities to make bids to host the convention, where thousands of delegates will converge to select the party's next presidential nominee. Birmingham, Cleveland, Columbus, Philadelphia and Phoenix also submitted bids. New York hosted the first Democratic National Convention in 1868, as well as those of 1924, 1976, 1980 and 1992. The DNC will announce the location for the convention late this year or early next year. "All of the cities are excited about their bids," said Lily Adams, a spokeswoman for the Democratic National Committee.

Something I've been working on..... (and for those interested in purchasing my art, or custom work (which I do ALL the time), I just list it by word of mouth on my facebook page ("Derek Diedricksen"- pretty lo-fi, I know!)
Tiny House Heads #2 ($95)- proceeds go towards keeping a public-display art space running in my town (which was formerly unrented/abandoned and is now loaded with window-front art and lit on timers)
ANYWAY, this is a new piece in my "Tiny House Heads" series- all on recycled/salvaged wood. This one is #2 (about 14" tall). The first one sold really quickly (thank you!- whoever you are) over at the Artisan Soul Gallery in Putnam, CT, where I have about 30 art pieces on display.... I'm planning on making a whole series of these- all different, in different colors, and maybe getting together some showing way down the road with other artists in the tiny house field..... perhaps with a tiny shelter (as art) or tiny house on display.
We're STARTING to mix a lot of art into our TINY HOUSE BUILDING (hands-on) Workshops too- Our next is at the Fuller Craft Museum- a 3 day event. Flyer is below and up until Feb 1st, 2016, there will be a sign up banner link at the top of this blog.
And Speaking of "The Artisan Soul Gallery" in Putnam, CT on 171 Providence St. (place is awesome)- here's a shot of Laura Taylor (the owner) in front of a wall of my art.
Go check the place out and help a budding, mom n' pop, business. There's a kids craft center in their too and its only $5(!!!!) for a 90 minute session (all materials are included!).

Kidnapped Israeli soldiers separated?
Lebanese, Egyptian sources detail state of emergency in Beirut
Editor's note: The following is adapted from the Galil Report, a regular Mideast briefing by WND Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein published exclusively in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, the premium, online intelligence newsletter. The Galil Report is available as an e-mail newsletter free to G2 Bulletin subscribers.

Aaron Klein
The fate of kidnapped Israeli soldiers, as well as Iran and Syria's role in the rapidly expanding violence in the Mideast, were discussed in an extensive conversation today between Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit and Lebanese Prime Minister Faud Sinora, the Galil Report has learned.
The two leaders also discussed the current state of emergency in Lebanon, following yesterday's Hezbollah raid during which two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped. Israeli retaliation today has included the bombing of important Lebanese targets and the imposition of an air and sea blockade.
Hezbollah has been hitting northern Israeli cities with short-range rockets and there is a fear of an Israeli ground invasion if the Lebanese militia fires longer-range missiles into the Jewish state.
Egypt has been mediating the past two weeks between Hamas and Israel over the fate of abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was kidnapped during a Hamas raid of a major Israeli military station that prompted an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza.
Gheit today expressed his country's willingness to lead mediation efforts between Hezbollah, Lebanon and the Israeli government over the flair-up some politicians here are calling a war.
Egyptian and Lebanese sources briefed the Galil Report on the Gheit-Sinora conversation, including information on the two Israeli soldiers kidnapped yesterday by Hezbollah, efforts to rescue them, and the role of Iranian advisers in the escalating conflict.

awesome! eerily reminds me of portal`s music, course i think that was the intention ;)
not bad, bit too much techno for portal...at least in my opinion, maybe its just the tempo. keeping it slightly short was a good idea, the flute and wave sounds were a bit too loud, i have no suggestions on how much that should be changed....something to consider anyways. not that it helps much but thats just my thoughts. keep up the good work.
Nice ideas, But you also have a look at the gameplay, if the sound support the game feeling, it would be good, or not?
And also look at the environment. Fast paced action stuff or a simple puzzle....or something else 0_o
It's both
That sounds really like Kelly Bailey-music.
Awesome sound!

Four-quadrant current control IC redefines motion engineering
A ground-breaking family of compact integrated circuits (ICs) for velocity and torque control, capable of four-quadrant current control is now available from Daventry's INMOCO.
Developed by Performance Motion Devices in Massachusetts, and launched to the world in February 2018, the *Juno® IC family of ultra-efficient and powerful velocity and torque control ICs are ideal for next-generation laboratory automation, healthcare equipment, and similar applications requiring high speed or low speed motor control.
Performance Motion Devices Juno ICs are expected to profoundly improve the ability of design engineers to achieve greater motor efficiency, precise current control, and accurate velocity profiles.
INMOCO's Gerard Bush says: "Juno ICs deliver smooth, quiet, and efficient motor operation over a wide range of operating conditions for brushed, brushless DC, and stepper motors. As such, they will prove ideal for servo motor applications in liquid pumping or high-speed motor control."
Until the arrival of Juno ICs, design engineers had to develop multi-component solutions. These typically require significant amounts of board space and time for firmware development; only providing limited speed control accuracy, noise and significant heat. Designers also had to create their own interface and safety protocols.
In contrast, Juno's one-chip approach ensures safe and optimal motor performance. It includes over-current, over- and under-voltage, over-temperature, current integration limits and communication monitoring functions.
"The Juno IC's four-quadrant control allows precise ramp up and down," said Chuck Lewin, President of Performance Motion Devices, "There is no other velocity IC on the market today that offers this functionality. The unique combination of velocity and torque control with intelligent safety and performance monitoring delivers ultra-efficient motor control that will help our customers improve development time and system safety."
The Juno ICs are available in 64-pin TQFP or 56-pin VQFN packages, which measure 10 mm x 10 mm or 7.2 mm x 7.2 mm respectively. The Juno ICs are easy to deploy with pre-programmed motion commands and on-board intelligence.
The family of Juno ICs are ideal for equipment such as; centrifuges, laser scanners, dialysis machines, heart assist-pumps, drug infusion systems and ventilators. The IC's compact size, four-quadrant functionality, ultra-efficient operation, and ability to bring motor intelligence to customer systems make them ideal for many precision motor applications in other fields too.

New NORDBLOC.1 BEVEL GEAR UNITS with 50 Nm
With the two-stage NORDBLOC.1 bevel gear unit, NORD launched high performance, washdown-optimised aluminium drives for hygienic applications. Now, the drive specialist expands its successful series with smaller gear units for torques up to 50 Nm and thereby offers an efficient alternative to worm gear units – for example for smaller conveyor belts.
The new SK 9×0072.1 series has a power range from 0.12 to 1.1 kW and covers speed ratios from 3.03 to 47.67 : 1. The two-stage helical bevel gear units are characterised by high efficiencies, compact design, top reliability and long working life. The high-strength aluminium housing guarantees high rigidity and maximum durability with low weight. Additionally, the modular design provides wide application flexibility due to numerous application and mounting options.
There are two models available: SK 920072.1 and SK 930072.1. The open housing of SK 920072.1 is lightweight but nevertheless very solid due to its construction. This variant is available with a universal foot flange version. With its closed housing, the SK 930072.1 is particularly suited for applications with stringent requirements for hygiene and cleanliness. Additional protection is provided by the optionally available nsd tupH surface treatment. The standard version is equipped with a B14 flange. All versions are available with solid or hollow shafts. The motor can be mounted directly without a coupling or adapter (IEC or NEMA). Accessories including torque arms, flanges, covers and fastening elements from the UNIVERSAL series may also be used for this gear unit.
The new, compact and flexible NORDBLOC 1 bevel gear units are particularly suited for intralogistics and packaging technology, and thanks to their washdown design may also be advantageous for the food and beverage industry. The LogiDrive combines these new NORDBLOC.1 gear units with an energy-efficient IE4 synchronous motor and the NORDAC LINK field distributor for an optimally matched drive system. These standardised geared motor variants are highly efficient, and thanks to Plug & Play technology they are extremely maintenance-friendly and benefit from a considerable reduction of spare part stocks, which also results in the reduction of versions.

Precision temperature control for manufacturing
It can be a challenge to maintain efficiency in manufacturing processes that rely on rapid temperature change, they are energy intensive and will often form a natural bottle-neck in an overall process. Implementing a new control strategy that is both more accurate and responsive can therefore bring improvements to both productivity and process efficiency.
Pioneering process control company Bürkert has introduced a new modular range of products offering seamless integration of sensors, precision flow measurement devices and flow control valves that can be used to create very accurate and highly responsive temperature control systems.
Temperature controlled processes are used in a number of manufacturing industries. Some varied, but relevant examples are aluminium die casting, injection moulding, extrusion processes, and a range of food manufacturing techniques. In all cases the precise and consistent control of temperature through accurate heating and cooling is very important in terms of product quality and process efficiency.
By looking at a few examples, it is possible to understand how a modular process control platform can be used to create a tailored solution for any manufacturing process. In each case the challenges are assessed, and a combination of expert design and proven technology is used to deliver the optimum solution.
Casting the die
In the manufacture of high pressure die-cast aluminium parts, tool temperatures have a significant influence on surface finish, dimensional accuracy and the amount of finishing required. At the same time, cost-effective manufacturing requires cycle times and reliability to be optimised, which leads to a need for automated systems with the fastest practical cycle times.
Optimising this process requires a highly dynamic control system that comprises precision temperature sensors, flow control valves and isolation valves that can reliably manage the fast heating and cooling rates of the thermoregulation process. In applications that use spray cooling, it must be capable of controlling the cooling process by means of exactly regulated quantities of water, air or a mixture of the two. Similarly, tool manufacturers that need to develop complex and intricate shapes for metal and plastic moulds often use conformal cooling to ensure product quality as well as reduced cycle times.
By implementing a modular process control system, it is possible to integrate it with existing machinery and add as many sensors and control valves as necessary to deliver an ideal solution regardless of the original manufacturer. With sufficient planning and design expertise, the modular platform can also provide flexibility in the wider manufacturing process by enabling fast, efficient batch changeovers and quick adaptation for new lines.
Fantastic plastic
One of the major challenges in injection moulding is to produce parts that fall from the die ready for use and do not need additional processing. Typical examples would be high-volume precision moulded components for consumer products such as LCD screen frames, phone, laptop casings and similar items.
An important contribution towards achieving this aim is made by vario-thermal control of the injection moulding tool. Only with this technique is it possible to produce plastic parts without distortion, with the right size and with high surface quality regarding gloss, haptic properties and lack of weld lines.
The main temperature regulation challenge is to enable rapid changes between hot temperatures, around 180°C during the injection phase, and cooler temperatures of approximately 100°C. Of course, this should be achieved with low cycle times as far as possible to maintain productivity.
The key is to position the valve switching station close to the tool, so the transition from hot to cooler temperatures involves only a very small exchange of water within the system. In conjunction with accurate temperature measurement and flow control valves it is possible to create a very reliable and efficient process by implementing a modular process control platform. This enables the seamless integration of sensors, flow measurement devices and flow control valves within an existing installation.
Improving profile accuracy
Extrusion technology is used to manufacture a wide range of products using plastics and metals and the overriding objective is to produce a uniform profile without distortion or variation in the dimensions. The decisive factor in achieving this goal is maintaining the correct process temperatures, regardless of external influences.
In this example the cooling process is as important as the heating procedures and as such industrial extrusion equipment will benefit from a modular process control platform. As a complete process temperature regulation system, this solution automates the controlled heating of the extruder sections and targeted cooling in the subsequent calibration stations.
With a flexible layout, each system allows the highest levels of quality to be achieved because the number of cooling points and nozzles can be varied and each one can be equipped with a dedicated, decentralized control unit. By working with expert designers, it is possible to create bespoke temperature control systems that provide the necessary levels of flexibility and reliability.
In each of these applications there is a demand for precision control of temperature and a need to compensate for variables such as ambient temperatures, requiring the control system to adjust accordingly.

As our first post about our singing endeavors in 2014, I think it's rather special that we get a fresh start with the recounting of the tale of our newly obtained Sound System. This story is an incredible landmark for The Boyer Family Singers, and one which I think we will always cherish for years and years to come, when we're old and grey…. or touring in Europe…. which ever comes first 😉
We had gleaned from our past experiences in 2013, the understanding that we needed to look into investing in a sound system for our performances. At that time, money wasn't the most accessible thing in our house, especially not the amount needed to fund the microphones, PA system, and other equipment. We were blessed to work with an amazing band this past year that had sound equipment of their own, and we had the privilege of using theirs' when we performed with them. But anywhere that we envisioned performing at aside from our opportunities with the band, the dreaded barrier always arose: no sound system.
Come Christmas time, we girls began to really realize and contemplate our need for our own sound equipment, so we each generously deposited money into the little white envelope with "Boyer Family Singers" boldly sharpied on the front. We weren't even conceiving the dream of obtaining a sound system any time soon. Maybe late next year… or later.
You remember the Jamestown performance I posted a few weeks ago? Well, that turned out to be one of our few pay jobs of the year, and we happily, gratefully slipped the weathered greens we had earned from that evening, in the long and skinny fund envelope, still only dreaming and hoping.
After making monthly fun-filled performances with the Back in Time Express (the band I mentioned before) at a rest home, we came upon our last performance of the year there. It just so happened that the elders had taken an offering for the entertainment and joy we had brought to them in 2013, and as a thank you and Christmas present, they presented us and the band, with a generous monetary gift. We got our share, and slipped it in the skinny white envelope, excitement dancing in our eyes, and hope blazing in our hearts!
You may think that that was the best part; but, though it does retain a special place in our hearts and memories, you haven't heard the best yet:
We decided to open presents early Christmas morning, as we girls had performed at a Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, and our arrival home greeted a clock proclaiming the small hours of Christmas morning. We gathered around the tree, excited to see what we would receive, all of us curiously eyeing an odd, small white package from our Aunt and Uncle, ambiguously containing an extraordinary surprise that we could never comprehend. Wrapping paper was strewn about, gifts unwrapped and lain around each of the receivers chairs; one gift left untouched under the old, imitation evergreen: the mysterious, skinny shipping package.
We excitedly, curiously reached for the gift and began to deconstruct the sturdy packaging. The opening of one of the stiff cardboard flaps revealed a wealth of glittery red and gold tinsel, bursting forth from the cardboard container. Whipping out the sticky metallics revealed an even greater wealth: a gift from the hearts of our Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins. A tall red card enveloping a small white check containing all our hopes and dreams of a sound system. It would be an understatement to say that we were surprised, baffled, speechless. Even though we were all those things, we felt much, much more than what those meager words describe. We cried, no, bawled for a good, healthy ten minutes. We had been funded. God willed it, we received it, and that's all there is to it.
A few weeks after Christmas and our big surprise; we were planning the date of our trip to Guitar Center and obtaining our sound system. I had browsed Guitar Center's website weeks before, perusing their used section, and had planted my eye on a Fender Passport 300 Pro for about $100 less then the usual price. Yes, that's the one for us, we thought. Then, a few days before our actual trip to Guitar Center, Dad looked in their used section again, and found the Fender Passport 500 Pro, a hefty step up from the 300, yet for a little more than half the usual price. We could hardly believe it! Dad called them up and inquired:
Condition: excellent;
Shipping: costly, yes, but totally worth it!
That Saturday we bundled up in the car and began our short road trip to Guitar Center; ready and willing to finally realize our dreams of microphones and PA systems. We entered the store, and were directed to the Live Sound section where we could find all that we desired. Needless to say it was exciting, nerve-racking, and really surreal seeing the three microphone boxes, cords, stands, the duo of stalwart speaker tripods stacked on the counter. Yes, it was really happening. We ordered the Passport 500 there, and purchased all the other necessities. Suddenly, the little white envelope that once bursted with funds, was vacated of its contents; a trunk load of sound equipment in the back of the car to show for it.
The other Sunday, we decided to stay home from Church, as the snow and ice which had fallen days before, appeared too perilous to attempt the 45 min. drive. Later that afternoon, we pulled out our sturdy new sound system and gave it a try. It was amazing, glorious, unbelievable to hear our voices bounce out of the tall silver speakers, like we only dreamed they would.
The one most prominent aspect of this tale that I have recounted to you, is the incredible Providences of God in our lives. We dreamt small, and thought we would maybe obtain our sound system next Fall or Winter. God had different ideas, and gave it to us this Winter. Time after time, we doubted and worried. He, time after time, showed His handiwork in our lives; teaching us that His word is true, that we should never worry or doubt. All I can say now is, we can hardly wait to see what God has in store for us next!
