Libra – Yearly Horoscope 2018
by Agent 300 Rose Marcus
LIBRA September 22 to October 22
Whether actively chosen/of your making, or heaped on you, Saturn now inches you closer to an important goal post or milestone. Saturn's transit through Capricorn knits time and experience together. It will continue to prod you through a maturation process, designed to unlock a more conscious awareness and to assist you as you work you through the final stage of a circumstance and a karmic track that's been in the works for a very long time. Looking back, you'll see you are coming full circle on a thirty-year cycle of revisiting the past in order understand it deeper and to lay a better foundation. Have you succeeded so far? Take stock on how you are living with yourself, rather than dwelling on the uncomfortable fall-outs. Saturn transits can make you feel overburdened, unfairly dumped on or tethered, or take you on an endurance test. Over the next couple of years, Saturn aims to help you get a more solid platform built, one that helps you build better boundaries, gain better emotional self control, to be better self directed. Whether it is due to a squeeze or ambition, Saturn aims to help you hone your inner strength and resolve. Conquer yourself and you'll conquer it too.
Along with Uranus and Chiron in Aries, Saturn aims to dismantle the conditioning factors that inhibit your progress and growth. Uranus and Saturn have been at it for awhile. They'll continue to work together in 2018. Uranus in Taurus (mid May to November) trine Saturn in Capricorn is an excellent transit for making the most of it, especially regarding new opportunities. Uranus in Taurus can enhance financial prospects and intimate relationship potentials. Try something or someone new on for size. It/they could prove to be exactly what you need and want.
January/February are dynamic, hit the ground running months. Venus in Capricorn and the sun begin a new 9-month relationship and manifesting cycle on January 8, 9. Venus/sun draw extra turbo from their new phase relationship with Pluto. This is an auspicious time to make your powerplay. Look to the super full moon eclipse in Leo on January 31 and the solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 15 to fire up added excitement or something unexpected.
Venus will tenant Libra in August (while Mars finishes up retrograde) and the first half of September. Venus will begin its retrograde tour in Scorpio in October, revisiting Libra in November through the start of December. Expect the fall to be an important time for sorting out money and relationship matters.

text: Spring is about to be sprung and one of the first signs I see are wild ramps! Ramps are wild leek/onion/garlic shoots that grows in the wild and only can be harvested in the Spring for about 6 weeks before the bulbs harden and they begin to bloom a flower. The pungent flavor has earned them nick names like "little stinkers" and so on. One of my favorite ways to prepare them is simply grilled along with some other tasty vegetables. But the feature recipe is dynamite and can be frozen to enjoy all year long. Meet "RAMP CHIMICHURRI"! You're welcome!

Watched a movie or a TV show? Log it in WordPress with Traktivity
Do you watch a lot of movies or TV Shows? Do you have a WordPress site? You will love Traktivity!
This plugin allows you to log everything you watch inside your WordPress site. You may then use that data for anything you want.
You could display the last few shows you watched in a widget in your sidebar, you could automatically post on Facebook or Twitter whenever you are watching something, or you could just keep that data to find out more about the genres you watch the most, or how many hours you spent in front of the TV last month or last year.
Most importantly, that data is yours, saved in your WordPress site for good.
Share screenshots, own your data
I've used image sharing software for the past 5 years: CloudApp, Cloudup, Droplr, I tried them all. Those apps are great to quickly share screenshots, annotated images, gifs, or even screencasts with users. Sometimes, an image is worth a thousand words. :)
When I switched to Linux for my February challenge, I set out to find a cross-platform alternative to all those services. Here is what I came up with.
From Mac to Ubuntu: getting rid of the desktop icon in the app switcher
Yesterday I mentioned how muscle memory was the hardest thing to beat when switching OSes. Here is another quick tip that you'll love if you're switching from Mac to Ubuntu and if like me, you're a
Cmd+Tab Alt+tab addict.
From Mac to Ubuntu: Cmd vs. Ctrl
It's the little things. So far, switching from Mac to Ubuntu has been relatively painless; most of the apps I use every day are cross-platform. There is, however, one thing that's been bugging me a lot: Ctrl.
Ubuntu: adjust your mouse settings
One of the things that bothered me when I switched to Ubuntu was the mouse: while the Mouse settings panel offered options to change the cursor speed, I couldn't change the scroll wheel settings: I wanted it to be faster, and I wanted it to use Mac OS' natural scrolling direction.
After a bit of googling, this specific answer helped me get this fixed.
First, you get a list of the different devices linked to your machine, then you check the settings for one of the devices (number 10 in my case), and use
set-prop to customize a specific setting.
Changing from
1 to
-1 got me the natural scrolling back. Victory!
xinput list
xinput list-props 10
xinput set-prop 10 'Evdev Scrolling Distance' -1 5 5
Now if only I could do something to get all my additional buttons back, that'd be great! :)
No Mac OS in February
You know the drill: new month, new 30-day challenge. After skipping alcohol, Twitter, and chocolate, I'll be spending this month away from my favorite OS, macOS.
Use Unison on Webfaction
Unison is a great little tool to synchronize files between your local machine and a remote server. It's free, open-source, and cross-platform. I use it every day to develop Jetpack. However, until very recently I couldn't use it to work with files on this very site. I'm hosted with Webfaction, a great hosting provider for developers who want flexibility without having to deal with server administration. A lot of packages are already installed and configured on my server for me. Unison is not available by default, so I had to install it myself. Luckily, Webfaction lets you do that!
Uninstall Chrome's "Live HTTP Headers" Right Now
I'm very careful with the things I install on my computer, and the extensions I used in Google Chrome, my browser of choice.
Unfortunately, it seems that an extension I installed a long time ago, "Live HTTP Headers", is now used to insert a random JavaScript file on all the sites you visit. That file will randomly generate an ad pop-up on any site, using the
asgds_modal ID. That's pretty bad. ?
If you use that extension, you'll want to deactivate it right now!
I'm now back to using the Network tab of the Developer tools for that kind of work, unless some of you know of a good extension I could use?
A little fun with CloudFlare
I like CloudFlare. They offer tools to protect your site, and a lot of their services are even free. For the most part, it's a service you set once, and forget about.
That doesn't mean you can't have a little fun with it from time to time, though!
While tweaking my CloudFlare settings this morning, I decided to add a little Page Rule to redirect some of my site's most dedicated bots to a very special YouTube page…

There is no risk free level of exposure.
Secondhand smoke kills 49,000 Americans every year and is responsible for 3,000 lung cancer deaths of U.S. non-smokers annually, making it the third leading cause of preventable death.
In Indiana alone, secondhand smoke kills 1,100 Hoosiers every year and is responsible for over 900 low birth weight babies born annually in our state.
Secondhand Smoke Does Damage To Your Family.
Many families and children remain at high risk for tobacco use and suffer disproportionately from tobacco-related illness and death. Infants and children who are exposed to secondhand smoke in their home have dramatically higher levels of respiratory tract infections and slower lung development.
A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology proved even 30 minutes of exposure to average levels of secondhand smoke is enough to injure blood vessels in young, healthy non-smokers.
In addition, secondhand smoke hinders the body's natural ability to repair the injured blood vessels. The chemicals in secondhand smoke have strong and persistent consequences on the body's vascular system.
Find out more information about nonsmokers' rights here.
There is no risk free level of secondhand smoke exposure. Indiana's smoke-free air law will help protect thousands of Hoosiers from secondhand smoke. In Indiana alone, secondhand smoke kills 1,100 Hoosiers every year.

It's on the market!
Jean and I decided we definitely wanted to put our house on the market. The process of letting go started when we left for France and continues to this day. We probably should have sold the house 3 years ago -- but couldn't in the midst of a million other things to do. The decision today is not logical at least on the surface. It's a beautiful home (now that we have fixed it all up) with a great waterview, close to Zoe's school and things that we love to do. But for some reason it isn't making us happy. If we could put our fingers on it, we would. It's just an overall feeling of wanting to move on to more financial freedom-- more freedom from the mortgage. It's not even a big mortgage compared to some people who bought homes with nothing down, but it is enough that it's bothersome. The irony is we have no idea where we are going to live if it sold. Marin, France, or maybe even New Zealand. Seriously we truly are taking it one step at a time and leaving the door open to create the lifestyle we desire.

The divorce decree or other court order will set out the details of your child custody arrangements. Some parents may then amicably agree on child visitation rights without the need for any judicial involvement, while others will need to have a plan imposed on them. Even if the parents' relationship is amicable, it is prudent to have the visitation details set out in writing, particularly as the parents' relationship may deteriorate over time.
1. What if my child refuses visitation with the other parent?
Courts generally decide that it is in the best interests of the child to visit with both parents, therefore the custodial parent should not interfere with the visits of the non-custodial parent. If your child is reluctant to visit with or be taken by the non-custodial parent, you should try to find out the reason why. You must ensure that it is not your own conduct or manipulation of the child that is causing their reluctance to go on a visit. It may be that the child is emotionally attached to you as the primary caregiver; however, this is unlikely to constitute a valid reason, and you could be accused of frustrating the rights of the non-custodial parent if the child does not go.
2. Are visitation rights linked to child support?
It is illegal for a custodial parent to deny a non-custodial parent the right to see the child because of late or non-payment of child support. Often, such behavior may be the result of frustration and anger on the part of the custodial parent; however, family courts will frown upon it.

If a parent repeatedly refuses to grant access to the child, a court may increase the visitation rights of the non-custodial parent or even award them full custody of the child. In some cases, the parent may even be found in contempt of court and jailed for their actions.
3. For what legal reasons could a parent be denied visitation?
There are a number of valid reasons why a parent might be denied visitation:
- If a parent turns up to collect a child and appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may wish to contact the police in order to prevent the child from being placed in danger.
- If there is suspected emotional, physical or sexual abuse at the hands of either the non-custodial parent or someone else within that household, you may need to take immediate action to protect your child from harm. You should report the matter to law enforcement and the Department of Social Services. You may also wish to consult a family law attorney about getting an emergency court order to halt any further visitation.
- It may not be in the best interests of the child to visit an incarcerated parent if the visits are harmful to the child; however, the custodial parent would still need the court to sanction this denial of visitation.
4. How do visitation orders get changed legally?
If you have a court order that sets out a visitation schedule, it can be modified by a petition to the court. You will need to show sufficient grounds for your request to change the visitation arrangements, and a court will only grant your request if satisfied that there is a good reason. A typical reason is that the custodial parent is refusing to abide by the original visitation order to the detriment of the child. In December 2015, Gossip Girl star Kelly Rutherford lost custody of her two young children after a court determined that she was interfering with their father's relationship and access.
5. What happens to visitation arrangements if one parent moves out of state?
Despite the challenges of long-distance parenting, it is important that a child maintains a relationship with both parents. Failure to support and facilitate the other parent's visitation rights will not be viewed kindly by the courts. If one parent leaves the state with the child without the consent of the other parent or court order, the aggrieved parent may take legal action against the offending parent. Generally, the court that will have jurisdiction to hear a case will be the court in the state where the child has lived for the last six months, referred to as the "home state."
When one parent moves to a distant state, it can make frequent visits with the child almost impossible. A court may determine that it is in the best interests of the child for the non-custodial parent to have substantial visitation during school holidays.
6. What visitation rights do grandparents and stepparents / non-biological parents have?
Every state has implemented guidelines for granting grandparent visitation, as well as visitation to stepparents and other non-biological parents who petition for such access. Depending on the state, there may be some restrictions on visitation where the child's parents are deceased or divorced. Other states have more relaxed rules, allowing for visitation where the parents are alive or remain married. In making any visitation decision, the court will be concerned with what is in the best interests of the child, although consideration will be also given to what a fit parent says is best for their child.
In most cases, stepparents will have a difficult challenge if the biological parent does not believe that visitation rights are in the best interests of the child. Courts typically tend to side with the biological parents; however, the child's emotional, physical, financial and psychological needs are also taken into account. The stepparent petitioning for visitation rights will have a stronger case in situations where the stepparent:
- Has been in the child's life since birth or early childhood.
- Has raised the child over many years.
- Was married to the biological parent for many years.
As every case will differ, you should consult a family law attorney in your state with questions about your legal rights and how to petition for child visitation rights.

On Kindness: The Difference Between "Nice" & "Kind"
The following is a genius article by Avery Amensen from Darling Magazine.
It was too pertinent not to include here:
"Niceness can be passive, unremarkable. Surface level. It can be an afterthought. It spills out of our mouths with good intentions in order to fill a void. The neighbor is nice. The weather is nice. Taking a stroll around the city is nice. When paired with fleeting positions, the nice label can keep things at a distance.
Think about the things we hold most dear – would they be labeled with such timid language? What is the magical thing that takes us over the "nice" threshold and into "kind" territory?
Kindness is an action. And it takes courage. Kindness is making a decision to place others above ourselves, if even for a moment. It is the difference between acting and reacting. It's as big as giving up our own needs and as small as sending an encouraging text. There is no room for sitting back or passing the baton here. There's passion in kindness in its quietest form.
Kindness is an action. And it takes courage.
Striving for kindness is important and has some wonderful side effects. It's life giving. Even small gestures can chip away at the steeliest exterior – of another or even our own. With kindness, we move with purpose and in such a way that lifts others up alongside us. In a cultural climate where we're too quick to put up boundaries and draw lines, kindness can be a powerful tool to soften hearts when we need it the most.
Kindness isn't something we inherently are or aren't. We build it up. We shape our intentions and therefore our actions. So, lets seek to push for a little bit more in our everyday, and spread kindness with intention."

Hi All
I'm currently running a full Deus set up on version 4 with a 11' coil. I want to upgrade the software and then look at upgrading my coil to either X35 on an HF coil.
For those of you with experience with these can you please offer any thoughts/wisdom as to what might be the best course to take.
Thanks in advance

Re: Deus Upgrade
My input would be; if your current set up is working, stick with it. I have the 11" X35 coil, but wouldn't claim any more success over the original coil on V4. The white HF coils could offer another opportunity for you, especially with the dreaded 'stubble' season fast approaching - The smaller HF coil is great to get in and around the stubble.

Re: Deus Upgrade
It may be no consolation to you whatsoever, but I recently had my batteries replaced on my Deus set up and asked Regions about updating to the most recent version (v5.2)? and was told that if I was happy with my current v3.2 then stick with it. It has found me dozens and dozens of hammereds etc.
Sorry if that doesn't help you.

026. UP House Words & Rhythms
Dec 11th, 2018
Hello Everyone!
This week, we would like to present you the song that some of the members at UP House created together during the music group activity.
Music group has been started by a previous intern from Vanier College, and it was held every Friday afternoon. The activity continued, and a current student Mark-Anthony brought in the idea of making a song of UP House, which members enjoyed very much, and here it is, the song called UP House Words & Rhythms.
Radio UP team.
You can read the lyrics written by UP House members below.
UP House Words & Rhythms
Here at UP House, everyone is pitching in
From multimedia to the kitchen
It doesn't matter what time we arrive
As long as it's not after five.
Methodic, Transpondence
Hit my button for I am
The UP House A.I.
The UP House A.I.
UP House yeah we are a clubhouse
Cooking lunch every morning listen to the sizzle
We make a variety of different meals
Healthy foods yeah that the deal for reals
(Lunch is ready venez chercher)
Every Wednesday we shake and bake
Making everything from cookies to cake
And when you feel the UP House drive
There is nothing that you can't contrive
UP House is the place to be
To show support to our community
It feels nice to smile and belong
As a group of members we all get along
Lost was a feeling that I've dealt with before
To all the members at UP House
I want to say Thank you for all of your support
Everyone here is very inspirational
And it makes me feel incredible
Mental Health doesn't stop us
From making good music
So be happy and sing a song
And help uplift one's life with music
Live and learn, meaningful work
And when I finish my day; I'm on my way
UP House is the place to be
To show support to our community
It feels nice to smile and belong
As a group of members we all get along
Me rendre à UP House
C'est comme rester chez-moi
Un endroit ou je me sens acceptée
Un endroit ou je suis fière de contribuer
Merci à tous les membres de UP House

Across The Universe
Genre: Musical/Drama
Director: Julie Taymor
Screenplay: Dick Clemet and Ian La Frenais
Starring: Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess, and Joe Anderson
This is the story of Jude, a young Englishman, who is finally able to go to America to search for the father he has never met. The New World, broken by war, opens up opportunities of friendship and love. Using the music of The Beatles to propel the story, Jude finds a inspiration and himself.
This is an artistic film. It has a strong story line as it follows the lead character, Jude, and his friends, but the film reflects a painting with colorful and imaginative scenes that interpret the music it follows. This film would probably be more enjoyable if you are indeed a Beatles and art film fan. It is possible that you could still appreciate the beautiful cinematography and story without knowing of or liking The Beatles music, but it is the main draw to this film. It also follows the main elements of a musical with singing and dancing, which I felt were stunningly choreographed. The actors even provided their own vocals, which I feel is always a plus and adds another layer of respect to the actor. The main feature is still the art of the film, not the story. This is what the film was intended to be seen for, and that may not be of interest for some. As an art and Beatles lover, myself, I really enjoyed this movie.
The actors are not exactly well known just yet, the most famous probably being Evan Rachel Wood. Best known for her role in Thirteen, she seems to be selective about her roles, sticking mostly to independent films. She is a growing talent who has the potential of being a great and respective actress of her generation. Her work in this film does not disappoint either. Most of the characters she has played have always seem to be driven by some kind of edge or hardship. Though her character, Lucy, has some hardship, this does not propel her character. The hardship in this film was simply the way of life for most Americans during this time. In fact, this is probably one of the more normal roles she's played so far with the added touch of a very sweet and pleasant voice.
Both Jim Sturgess and Joe Anderson, being British, have had sporadic roles here and there. This is probably their most distinguished film. The both carried their large roles well. I had hoped that we may have seen more of both of them as a result from this film, but their roles still seem to be varied as of late.
I give this film 3 Buttery Kernels.

Be Funny Friday- The Student ID Edition.
Good Hair by Chris Rock.
I requested this movie from the library several months ago. The way the library in Indianapolis works is that there are several branches. A lot of times they won't have what you want on the shelves. You go into your account on the computer, request what you want, and they send it from another library. The central library is downtown, and while I have never been there, I am guessing that is where the main quantity of books are stored.
Product Review: Hydrating Hair Butter by Fleurzty
I have reviewed a product by Fleurzty before. It was okay. I was not uber impressed, but it did get the job done. Today's product. I did not like. AT ALL.
The product is Hydrating Hair Butter. This product is anything but hydrating. Let me type out the label for you.
This butter is very rich and intensely hydrating. It melts instantly and provides softness, shine and moisture to your hair without being greasy or heavy.
First things first. The scent I chose was lemon and ylang ylang. I have no clue what ylang ylang is supposed to smell like, but I am a sucker for anything lemon scented or flavored. I opened up the jar, and took a whiff....and gagged. This stuff smells awful. There is nothing lemony about it at all. I just figure the ylang ylang is the primary scent here.
I proceeded to apply it to my hair. It does feel rich and it does melt instantly. That is where the label information ends for me. About 15 minutes after I put it in.. my hair felt.. weird. It felt crunchy and grainy. To make sure I wasn't going insane, I called my husband over and asked him to feel my hair. His response? "Your hair feels crunchy and greasy...what did you put in it?"
So yeah, Hydrating hair butter? Not so much. I would stay as far from this product as possible.
Healthy Diet= Healthy Hair
As my readers, I feel that we have a relationship. We can laugh together, we can cry together, and I can tell you anything. So I am here to tell you something...
I am a junk food ADDICT.
I love candy, chips, cake, and pie. I will be the first person to admit it.
A couple of weeks ago I made mention of the fact that my husband and I are making a bit of a lifestyle change. Re-reading the entry, I realize I did not make mention of the fact that we are changing our food habits as well. Out with the chips, cookies, chicken nuggets (mmm, nuggets), fried cheese, and in with healthy eating, moderate portions, and finding delicious and healthy snacks.
I know there are some people out there reading this and groaning and thinking with drastic measures such as these, I am doomed to fail. But I don't think I am... and I will tell you why.. I love a challenge. I like the idea of trying to find something as delicious as my beloved salt and vinegar potato chips, but healthy. For me fixing the hubs healthy snacks is kind of easy. I can add seasonings to nuts for him, and BAM instant salty craving satisfied. It is not as easy for me. As an adult, it seems that I am developing food allergies. As a kid I never had any problems with food. Now everything makes my throat swell up and itch. So far: Soy Milk, almonds, and pistachios. There is more on that list, but that is what i can come up with right now.
Though we have only been doing this for maybe three weeks. I can tell a difference in my hair. It doesn't dry out as fast, and doesn't feel like straw. The hubs was commenting on the length of it last night. I can't wait to see further down the road what this lifestyle change has in store for my hair.
No Poo
Feeling much better a lot quicker than last time.
So on this blog we have talked about pre-pooing before. We talked about it's benefits, if I do it, if you do it, that sort of thing. Today (yesterday) there was an article on MSNBC talking about no-pooing or low pooing.
Americans are a little crazy with the shampooing. I know some women are mortified if they do not wash their hair every day. They claim that it gets greasy and unmanageable. The article talks about the hair health benefits to not shampooing your hair every day. Some people do it just to ease up a bit on their carbon footprint, which is very admirable.
I consider myself a "low-pooer" I do not shampoo my hair every day. It doesn't need it. If I shampoo'd every day, I would strip my hair of natural oils that I am constantly trying to put in my hair. I do however condition every day. If I do not condition my hair, it seems as if it curls up onto itself a lot easier.
What is your shampooing regimen? Have you ever thought of modifying it?
Oh Dear lord, I think I am dying
I have not updated with very good reason.
My Doctor has switched some medication on me.
With that switch I have gotten serious intestinal issues.
I will be back asap..

Luther and sign language
Amid a host of Reformation 500 celebration ideas, from Lego Luther figures to books and movies, this one stands out. The Mission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (MDHH) has produced an eight-minute video that uses sign language, voice, and captioning to explain Luther's Seal. The Reformer designed the seal to symbolize the heart of his teachings about faith in Jesus. As a graphic adds each part of the seal, Matthew Buchholz explains the meaning using American Sign Language.
The video is a special gift to deaf Lutherans who may be interested in learning about the symbolism of Luther's seal. MDHH also hopes that it will be used with children to teach them about Luther's seal while seeing it described in sign language.
You'll find the video at the Special Ministries Resource Center at csm.welsrc.net/mdhh. It will be a fun way to draw people into the anniversary celebration and show them the eternal blessing of faith in Jesus. Share it on social media and with your family, too!

gears of war shotgun
june 2012
Gears of War is a video game series focusing on the conflict between humanity, the subterranean reptilian hominids known as the Locust Horde, and their mutated counterparts, the Lambent and the Swarm.
I was commissioned to build the sawed-off shotgun from the game Gears of War. The challenge of this build would be to make it open to accept shells.
I started by gluing two ABS pipes together and adding a piece of MDF to create a flat surface on the bottom.
I further built up the barrel support with MDF, using Bondo to make a tight fit.
A PVC pipe was used for the magazine tube (although this shotgun is a breach loader and doesn't feed ammo from a magazine…for lack of another name, I'll call it a magazine).
To make the hinge for the front assembly, I epoxied and bolted a PVC pipe. This part will be taking a lot of stress so I wanted to make it as strong as possible.
I notched the breach and inserted PVC pipes for an inner barrel. Bondo and styrene finishes the surface.
I inserted MDF plugs in the side of the hinge with holes to accept a long bolt.
The fore grip was initially framed out with 1/4″ MDF so that it fit snugly against the magazine tube.
More MDF was added to flesh out the fore grip.
To frame up the pistol grip, I used 1/4″ MDF bolted to a walnut dowel. I cut the trigger from 1/4″ acrylic and the trigger guard was cut from 1/2″ MDF.
The shotgun grip features cylindrical chambers at the breach that would house the firing pins (on a real gun.) Since you only see one side of the cylinder, I could make one master that has an identical left and right side, and then make resin copies for use on the replica. I routed grooves into an ABS tube and lathed a cone for the end.
After the trigger guard was sanded into shape, I added a styrene lip to the inside.
I started fleshing out the pistol grip with MDF, carving out a recess for the chamber cylinders.
Here are all the layers for the pistol grip!
I heat formed thick styrene around the grip dowel.
I glued more MDF together to make the outer grip.
Once it was fitting properly, I shaped it on the belt sander.
The shotgun shells would be built around a wooden dowel.
The dowel was clad in ribbed styrene and the end was heated and folded over. I wasn't that thrilled with the fold so I would have to recreate the end.
I used epoxy putty to re-sculpt the shell end.
To make the end of the shotgun shells, I had an acrylic disc laser engraved. I based the engraving graphics on a Remington shotgun shell. After consulting with the client (who knew the material much better than I do), we decided to make the shells hold 10 gauge shot. The "HS" on the Remington stands for "Home Security" which seemed to work for this as well. The "BS" stands for "Blind Squirrel" since the Remington puts the line brand there.
I molded the shell master so I could make resin copies.
I slush cast some Smooth-On 65D in each side and inserted an insulation foam core to reduce weight and reduce the amount of resin.
Once the shells were painted, I gave them a wash of black to bring out detail and give them that end-of-the-world feel.
I carved some MDF to make the grip detail and added some metal hardware that looks similar to the reference.
The pommel was lathed from walnut and would be secured with a screw.
The chamber cylinders were finally glued into place.
I heat formed thick styrene around the MDF of the pistol grip to make the cover.
Since heat forming is done with a heat gun and my hand, there are plenty of imperfections to Bondo out.
The hinge was made from cherry, epoxied and screwed for maximum strength.
The hinge was glued and bolted to the barrel assembly, puttied smooth and coated in primer.
Since I hadn't yet figured out how to keep the breach closed, I had to cut into the MDF of pistol grip.
I used a piece of poplar attached to a spring to act as a latch.
The latch would hook onto a hardwood block that was glued to the barrels.
Styrene and hardware details were added to the fore grip.
Styrene of various thicknesses were heat formed and added to the hinge plates.
I bought some steel mesh heat shielding to wrap around the grip.
I bent some steel wire to make the pommel D-ring.
I drilled holes and added half round styrene piping to the outer grip.
To make a sliding switch (for what we assumed was a safety), I glued two "L"-shaped pieces of metal together and made a styrene rail for it to slide along.
I cut a channel for the slide assembly into the MDF and then glued it in place.
I cut a piece of poplar for the sliding button.
I cobbled together the hinge nuts with MDF and various bits of hardware.
The top rail was made from wood and the joints were smoothed with Bondo.
The bottom of the gun features a presumably movable lever which I cut from a piece of irrigation tubing. To attach it to the gun, I cut a piece of wood to strengthen the connection and hold a pair of metal brackets.
I chucked a piece of thick styrene to the lathe and carved a custom rivet that would be duplicated in resin.
Here is a painted resin rivet glued onto the fore grip.
The tip of the magazine tube has a row of vents that would be extremely difficult to accurately cut by hand. Instead I modeled the piece in 3D and had it printed in plastic by Shapeways.
To finish the magazine cap, I lathed the tip form a piece of wooden dowel.
The assembled magazine tip.
The lever would swivel on a brass rod between the two lower tips of the hinge. I used styrene plastic spacers inside the aluminum tubes so the pieces wouldn't rattle.
Although it was pretty strong, I was concerned that the wooden latch wouldn't hold up to repeated use. Using it as a template, I cut a new latch from a 1/8″ piece of steel bar stock and glued on the thumb tab.
Now that everything was working, I could glue on the pistol grip cover. A generous slathering of Bondo along the seams hides any gaps.
I added some half-round styrene edge piping and rivets (made from tacks) before painting the grip with primer.
The base coat for the gun was Testors buffable Metalizer Gun Metal. Since I used a dark grey auto primer, it didn't take much paint to cover it. The paint can be buffed with a paper towel to get a realistic gun metal sheen!
To weather the gun, I dry brushed silver acrylic on any edge that might get scuffed. I also gave all surfaces a wash of black to simulate grime and grease.
The final gun and shells!
The breach opens to load.
Ammo loaded.
Detail of the grip.
Detail of the hinge section. A last minute addition was a laser engraved black leather strap made by my friend Fev. What it's for is anyone's guess.
The muzzle of the shotgun.
This project was a huge engineering challenge for me. I could plan out the appearance but how the parts would fit together was figured out on the fly. I'm just relieved everything works!

Subtitled 'the musings of a Black Country ex-pat now domiciled on the Welsh border' Tales From The Barn started life in 2016 as an ad hoc contribution to Talking Books www.beaconvision.org that GF has supported in one way or another over many years. The general theme is the narrator's observations on aspects of his former homeland from the perspective of his present one and often features some element of direct contrast or comparison between the two.
TFTB has since become a popular regular feature and is now distributed widely. It is presented here as an archive of free-to-access resources that will be of interest to education establishments, historical societies, researchers or anyone with an interest in what defines the Black Country and helps make its people so distinctive.
Each broadcast is independently produced by GF and is typically around 8 - 9 minutes duration.
The 'Barn' referred to, by the way, is not a figment of poetic licence but does actually exist and lies in the lee of the Black Mountains, with the stream behind the trees to the right denoting the Herefordshire - Powys border. It's delightful and we love it.
And the flag on the background to the SoundCloud? Well, that's the official flag of the Black Country. It owes its design to a quote by American Consul Elihu Burritt who, in the opening line of his Walks In The Black Country, first published in 1868, describes the area as 'black by day and red by night', a reference to the smoke and flames constantly belched out by numerous furnaces. The flag is thus both red and black, with chains showing a typical industry of the area (the chain for RMS Titanic was made at Netherton) whilst the central white cone represents the region's glassmaking heritage that has been a staple for over 400 years. It was designed in 2012 as a result of a competition held by the Black Country Living Museum in response to a campaign by the Parliamentary Flags and Heraldry Committee encouraging local communities to design their own to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics. The flag's cultural context is discussed further in episode 10 What's in a name?
With commemorations for the centenary of Armistice Day on 11.11.18, and TFTB (25) offering the author's perspective on this unique occasion, it was felt an appropriate juncture to conclude episodes 1 - 25 in the form of an illustrated book. This was officially launched at the International Festival of Glass in Stourbridge over August Bank Holiday weekend 2019 and is available now via this site (see Books).

Bearing little relation to Tales From The Barn other than harking back to my musings from a different age - and many years prior to our arrival at The Barn - I am rather delighted that More Ripping Yarns is included here by popular request. This merits an explanation ...
Around the early part of the new millennium I was Review & Special Features correspondent for the sadly now-defunct Canal & Riverboat magazine. During this period my freelance status allowed me to contribute elsewhere but I was particularly fond of C&R which, in addition to publishing my work, also gave me my first front cover image. It's actually the one shown here, captured early one morning at Gas Street Basin in Birmingham, when reflections on the glass-fronted Hyatt Regency created the illusion of the whole building being transparent. Yep, I am grateful to C&R for being a cornerstone for my output of the time, but back to my tale.
After laying out his features, the magazine Editor often had a page left over at the end. Familiar with my mordant wit he commissioned me to write a series of idiosyncratic waterways-themed 'fillers'. In a fit of inspiration he entitled the section Arts, Research & Science, which, being at the back, he mischievously abbreviated to ARSend. Though this was a family magazine, we never received one complaint about its cheekiness and the Publisher himself - a rather serious and upright man - never even commented. So, we got away with it for several editions, during which time I was given a free hand to let my imagination run riot. Happy - and daft - times and naughty but nice, in the true spirit of harmless British double-entendre.
Now fast-forward to the formation of the British Glass Foundation (see Links) and my role as creator and Editor of its email bulletin GlassCuts.
Every edition I am obliged to include a Disclaimer with the small print containing the usual caveats. One day, in a fit of wondering what all this stuff-and-nonsense was about - I mean, just what precisely is a philathropic non-profit glass charity having to disclaim itself against? - I decided to put it to the test and wrote something spontaneously ludicrous that made sense only to anyone who was ever so slightly insane. The result? No-one, but no-one, took a shred of notice. Except, that is, for one or two aficionados who recognised pure silliness when they saw it.
These non-Disclaimers became more adventurous commensurate with them becoming increasingly lunatic. Don't just take my word for it; check for yourself; GlassCuts are all archived on the BGF website. Years down the line, and with editions of GlassCuts now numbering well into three figures and circulation somewhere in the high thousands, the privileged ranks of the Disclaimer's Spotter's Club - small as their number may be they are a dedicated lot - still rank only in the handfuls. It has become a cult and I have created a monster. And it's great fun!
Lo, thanks an evident crossover between my current readership and that of yesteryear, I have been asked to dig into the archives.
Et voila ... More Ripping Yarns, exactly as submitted in their raw-text form to C&R magaizine between around 2002-05. Careful with them, now. Gosh, I can see my reputation disappearing in front of my very eyes ...

Let's face it, I haven't always been the most positive person in the world. In fact, I used to be downright negative. I suffered from depression, anxiety, and an overall sense of "who gives a f*@k". Now, at almost 30 years old, I've begun to really change that attitude. Why? Because it is an attitude. I used to buy into the pharmaceutical companies pusher idea of depression medicines, but then I began to learn about energy, positive reinforcement, affirmations, yoga, meditation, and I became a full time vegetarian. What does all of this have to do with one another? It helped me get to the point where I kicked the meds and started living my life. Is it easy? NO. Is it rewarding? YES. Will it work for you? That's up to you. I can't say that anything is a fix all, but now I realize that 99% of my depression was my outlook. I'm not going to go into all the specifics, but to simplify it, you are energy. We are all energy, thoughts are energy, and we have no idea how powerful we really are. We can direct our thoughts towards positive thinking or take the easy route and wallow in self-pity. And yes, self-pity is always the easy route, but it's the bypass to life.
Now, I'm definitely not saying this is easy, and I can't give you a magic recipe for happiness, but I can tell you what I've been doing and hope you implement it into your own life.
The most important thing to remember is it is all up to you. Like I said, it's not easy. It's taken me a very very long time to get to this point, but day-by-day I've begun to really transform my thinking. At first, I "thought" it was all bullshit, but the more I kept redirecting my thoughts, the more I saw and continue to see the proof. I still have off days, I still struggle, that's being human, but the majority of my time I'm really trying my best to kick my inner critic's ass.
One of my steps in doing that has been to create some Start With Positive memes. I don't spend a lot of time on them. I compile general positive sayings, I pick a background, I pick a color, I pick a font, and I make that puppy! I've been sharing them on my Instagram, on my Facebook page, and on Modern Southerner's Facebook page.
My goal is that in creating and using these positive affirmations every day I'm helping to better myself and inspire others to better themselves. It all starts with self, and you are your biggest investment in life. You are important, you have a lot to contribute even if you haven't figure out what that is yet. We all have worth!
Below are the ones I've created and posted this week, please feel free to share these! That's the point, share the positivity and Start With Positive!

Debating: T.V. or No T.V.
I know that children and television is a very debatable topic. I personally love watching t.v, and have since I was a kid. When I was young I can remember having the tiniest t.v and laying around it with my sisters. In our house growing up you could only watch family friendly t.v shows, so 90210 wasn't allowed. This is why the mini black and white t.v would come in handy. When I was 10 my mom passed away, and with her went the rules she had set. My sisters and I each got t.v.'s for our rooms and we were addicted from there.
With all the raunchy reality t.v that's on, I'm nervous for B. I'm not against t.v watching, everything in moderation is OK. Right now at 6 months old Baby B watches Handy-Manny and Baby Einstein in the morning while he has his first bottle. It's become part of our schedule, and I really enjoy watching him stare intensely at the screen. It only last about a half hour, then he gets distracted and wants to play. I personally always have the t.v. on, more for background noise, but I'm struggling with turning it off. I would much rather have B listening to music, then the television. I know as he gets older he's going to want to watch more t.v., and I'm fine with that. As long as it doesn't consume his day. I plan on having a set amount of time each day that he can watch a show or movie. I hate when parents use t.v. as a babysitter, because they don't want to play with their child. That's so sad to me. A child should have human interaction, and not have to rely on the t.v as a playmate. I totally understand that there might be a time that I have to stick B in front of a movie so I can get something done, but that's not going to happen everyday. Parents that use the t.v. as a babysitter I feel, need to re-evaluate themselves as parents. They need to dedicate more time to their kids and help build their developmental skills. They should be the ones teaching their child colors and not the Disney Channel. Like I said I watched a ton of t.v after the age of 10, but up until that I played all day for the most part, and watched T.G.I.F on Friday nights with my mom and dad. It was something special that we always did together and I'll remember that forever. I hope to do the same with Baby B.
What are your thoughts on kids and t.v.? I would love to hear your opinion!

Effective prayer
My friend Kevin died of cancer on Saturday, but he wasn't just my friend. He had a lot of friends—praying friends—who are godly, righteous people. Certainly hundreds, if not several thousand, souls were imploring God to heal Kevin. James writes, "The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much" (5:16 b), which begs the question: Did Kevin not have any righteous people—or the requisite number of righteous people—praying for his healing?
A friend from another state called on Sunday to report that during their church service the pastor reported that "Sally's" struggle against cancer was progressing toward victory. The cancer in her brain was gone and other, cancer indicators had declined by 50% over the last week. "Keep praying," the pastor said. "Your prayers are working."
Why are the righteous people praying for Sally experiencing success and the righteous people who prayed for Kevin suffering defeat?
Part of the answer lies in this: the definition of "accomplishes much," from the James quotation. Someone we love, like Kevin, is diagnosed with a dread ill and we presume God wishes him healed. We pray, and we assemble teams of pray-ers, and we pray hard, fervent supplications for what we deem in Kevin's best interest and our preference. At best, God will agree with us. More troubling, God is not paying attention to Kevin's plight, but our prayers get His attention and healing occurs. Or…we conclude we are stuck with a God who doesn't care, plays favorites, or is capricious. All are bad options.
What if accomplishing Kevin's healing is not on God's agenda? In other words, in His sovereignty, He knows healing Kevin is a bad plan.
We presume God agrees with our assessment, that healing is the right and best thing, and we effectively pray to that end. Then, when Kevin dies—and Sally lives—we question our fervor, our righteousness, and God's fairness. When we are disappointed, we lapse easily into assuming we didn't try hard enough, pray long enough, or assemble a formidable enough team to storm the gates of heaven and secure Kevin's healing. Or, we are left with a God we would rather avoid.
And the devil has a field day in our disillusioned souls.
So why pray at all? If God is going to do what He's going to do regardless of our prayers, no matter how effective, what's the point?
At first glance, it would appear we should carefully define "accomplish much," and once done, then pray successfully in agreement with God's will and enjoy the control we derive by discerning the mind of God. I'm not buying that. When I pray like that it feels like I'm negotiating a real estate deal.
When confronted with Kevin's cancer nine months ago, I went to my place of prayer: the streets in my neighborhood. I prayed, and said, "Father, what are you thinking?" I didn't wait for His answer, but quickly got sidetracked by my shock and dismay and reverted to telling Father the outcome I desired with this bleak diagnosis. On this went: "Father, what are you thinking?"—but no break to let God answer, before—"Let me tell you what I'm thinking."
I was persuasive. I asked for favors, pleaded for mercy, and bargained for healing. I hammered on the gates of heaven. I cried. I wailed. When I saw Kevin's pain, I prayed more fervently.
You know what? This is typical, normal behavior for a friend who has gotten shocking, unpalatable news. It's the rough equivalent of running around in a panic when the skillet on the stove catches fire.
Not long after Kevin's diagnosis, my initial shock calmed, and I went to the streets and said, "Father, what are you thinking?" And then, I was quiet. I waited for His reply. Then, back and forth we went in dialogue about the concern at hand: Kevin's health and the extenuating issues. This is the rough equivalent of realizing the skillet is on fire, gaining my wits, and managing the situation.
Here is my conviction regarding complex issues like cancer: Father wants us to tell Him what is on our mind. He wants to hear from us without edit. I believe He longs for an honest, forthright conversation with us. But take note: Conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. If I do all the talking when God and I get together, we don't get nearly as much accomplished as when we communicate.
I just hung up the phone from talking to my friend, WO. Man-to-man, friend-to-friend, adult-to-adult, WO and I discussed our loss with Kevin's passing. Back and forth our conversation went: talk, listen; talk, listen. That's how dialogue works. One way communication is called a sermon, or a lecture. For the most part, sermons and lectures are not very effective forms of communication. Interaction, on the other hand, is much more effective, meaningful, and powerful. This is what God desires. It is what we are equipped to do. It is what bonds us together.
Prayer is a dialogue. God, in Christ, made us righteous people so He could interface with us. The seizing of that reality affords us the effective ability to communicate with God. And make no mistake, that communication is a two-way street—a dialogue. This "accomplishes much."
Our prayers regarding Kevin's cancer were not in vain. How can visiting with God about a subject that is important, like Kevin, be considered pointless? Were you not inspired as you considered Kevin's life? Were you not challenged to walk more closely with God as a result of discussing Kevin's life with God and others? Are you not a better person after discussing Kevin with God?
I am, and in this way, my prayer did "accomplish much." Effective prayer is not about Kevin or Sally or cancer or healing. The accomplishment is defined by God, and the only way to discover the definition, is to discuss it with God.
Do I miss Kevin? Terribly. Would I bring him back if I could? Not in a million years. Am I still discussing Kevin's life and death with God in prayer? You better believe it.

MN- Archbishop's deposition set but SNAP predicts it won't happen
For immediate release: Thursday, Feb. 27
Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 862 7688 home, 314 503 0003 cell, email@example.com)
Two top St. Paul archdiocesan officials will supposedly be deposed next month about clergy sex crimes and cover ups, but we doubt that will actually happen.
A dozen Catholic bishops – and two Catholic religious orders – have sought bankruptcy protection at the 11th hour to prevent depositions like these from taking place. And some Catholic officials (Boston's Cardinal Bernard Law and, more recently, Australia's Cardinal George Pell) have been promoted to Rome, in part we believe, to avoid facing tough questions about child sex abuse and cover up cases. Other Catholic officials (like Fr. John Urell of the Orange County diocese) have claimed illness and gone away or been sent away to church "treatment centers" to prevent or delay depositions like this.
We'd love to be proven wrong. But we strongly fear neither Twin Cities officials – Archbishop John Nienstedt and Fr. Kevin McDonough – will actually be deposed.
And we again ask a puzzling question that Twin Cities law enforcement personnel should publicly answer: How is it that civil attorneys get to question Nienstedt and McDonough but police and prosecutors don't? This makes us question again why law enforcement officials aren't being more assertive with these obviously reckless, deceptive, callous and self-serving Catholic bureaucrats.
(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world's oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. We've been around for 25 years and have more than 15,000 members. Despite the word "priest" in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers. Our website is SNAPnetwork.org)

Asiatic Echoes - The Identification of Ancient Chinese Pictograms in pre-Columbian North American Rock Writing
Author(s): John Ruskamp
Year: 2015
For centuries, researchers have been debating if, in pre-Columbian times, meaningful exchanges between the indigenous peoples of Asia and the Americas might have taken place. Many sinologists have written positively on this topic, yet, so far, no conclusive proof has been put forth establishing such trans-Pacific contact as a historical event.
This report reveals with statistical certainty and expert analysis that previously unrecognized ancient Chinese scripts were written in pre-Columbian times at multiple sites in North America. Here is demonstrable proof that ancient intellectual exchanges took place between Asiatic and North American populations shortly after 1100 BC. Using the novel integration of the legal construct of substantial similarity with the comparative statistical tool of Jaccard's Index of Similarity, the Chinese origin of fifty-three North American petroglyphs and pictographs is established.
Here is the long sought sinographic proof that Asiatic explorers not only reached the Americas long before the first European voyagers, but that they interacted positively with Native North American people on multiple occasions over an extended period of time.

A pastor in our Diocese asked me about the practice of publishing parish weekly income and expenses in the bulletin along with the actual weekly need to keep the plant and ministry running.
Conventional wisdom is to publish this information for transparency purposes and to show parishioners what is needed to keep the operation running. In plain terms the following is at play:
1. We can see the parish administration is stewarding resources well. No secrets.
2. If the income falls near or below expenses we may say "holy smokes, we are running in the red, time to up my weekly gift".
Not satisfied with my own ideas I asked my colleagues in the Region IX (Nebrask, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri) what they thought about the question. Here are a few responses.
We encourage parishes to report it for accountability and transparency. We ask parishioners to be good stewards of their money, the parish needs to also.
Also, over the past year, trying to get parishes to give updates on more than money, trying to fight the claim that stewardship is only about money.
So, my home parish developed the attached page in the bulletin – The Steward's Corner. We give weekly updates on Time (Prayer), Talent (Participation) and Treasure (Generosity). Plus provide other stewardship formation articles.
All the information on the left side is updated weekly. The information on the right side is various articles we have that rotate in and out of the bulletin on a monthly basis.
Left side – we list things the offertory was used for – this ties ministry and offertory together – people see what they are giving to. We include how much on offertory subsidizes the parish school – this is very important to our parishioners. (Most parishes in St. Louis don't realize that 30 – 60 % of their offertory subsidizes their parish school. We tell everyone that Catholic education is our parish's largest ministry.)
Also, include scripture quotes on stewardship that shows stewardship comes from the Bible and that it isn't something the Church just made up to get people to give more money.
As you can see, my colleagues collective wisdom shines bright. Not only should we report weekly income and expenses, but also, spotlight other areas of stewardship. As well as take opportunities to give thanks and form parishioners about stewardship.
