I like look of the baked potato. How do you think it compares to the Bullet?screwfootsc wrote:Hey boys,
Hold your horses...your right FW lost to the nugget...but they will take it back with the 'Baked Potato' which is coming out early 2013. It is a sweet potato/nugget but will perform much better in the surf.
It will most likely be a reinforced strapless kite model...so lighter and stronger than the surf shape with the price reflected because there are no inserts. Get the real thing...
There are also some additional models coming out, so stand by.

Giacomo Rojas Elgueta
Rome, Italy
Class Year:
Prior Education:
University of Roma Tre, J.D. equivalent, 2001
University of Roma Tre, Ph.D., 2005
What I Did Before Law School:
For the last six years I worked as a teacher assistant and then as an assistant professor in Private Comparative Law at the University of Roma Tre. In this period I did my doctorate degree in Private Law, and I spent one year at the Yale Law School as a Visiting Scholar. In 2007 I joined the Faculty of the University of Roma Tre.
In 2004 I became a Lawyer and I have been doing some consulting in corporate law for an Italian Law Firm.
Why I Chose Penn Law:
After spending one year at Yale Law School writing my doctorate thesis, I decided to do an LLM program and to diversify my American experiences choosing a different school. I really wanted to be part of a relatively small program (this year we are 95 students) in one of the most prestigious Ivy League Universities and Penn Law has both these characteristics.
My Best Experience at Penn Law:
One of the many unique assets of Penn Law, which turned out to be a great experience, is the summer program prior to the LLM. The month of August is not only an opportunity to learn fundamental legal principles of the common law system but is an irreplaceable moment to get to know your classmates and to create a sense of community that will last for the rest of the year. It is hard to point out a particular experience. What I wish I were able to convey is that Penn law is a place where you can relax, enjoy your day to day life, and play with your mind.
Professor Who Influenced Me Most:
Professor David Skeel is certainly the Professor who made me understand how the Socratic method works. His ability of leading the discussion stimulated by a series of hypothetical is impressively effective in making you understand the central issues and concepts of Bankruptcy Law.
My Favorite Course:
I strongly believe that one of the greatest opportunities offered at Penn Law are the seminars. Only 10-15 students comprise the class, and they are fully involved and actively part of a discussion around different legal theories. The Corporate Legal Theory seminar of Professor Edward Rock was like taking a breath of air for mine and my classmates' brains.
My Favorite Philadelphia Moment:
Riding my bike through the streets of Philly; having dinner at my favorite Chinese restaurant in Chestnut Street; singing with my classmates at Barristers; having a cheese burger late at night at Little Pete's; dancing salsa at Cuba Libre; throwing parties at my house and many more…
What I'm Most Proud Of:
I am very proud of having found a good equilibrium between the intense academic life of the LLM program and the social life with my classmates. I strongly believe that a fundamental point for a successful LLM is to find a balanced mix between studying hard and enjoying, with the same intensity, all the beautiful moments with your friends.
My Extracurricular Activities at Penn Law:
I participated in many Faculty Workshops, and I have been appointed as one of the LLM Advisors of the University of Pennsylvania Journal of International Law.
My Favorite Place or Activity on the University Campus:
Having lunch in the core of the campus together with my friends and studying in the international atmosphere of the Graduate Center.

Questions about Equipment
Posted 27 January 2009 - 05:32 PM
Also, I have an Olympus Voice Recorder which is very good quality. However, it uses tapes instead of being digital. What is a good, cheap digital recorder? Alternatly, can I somehow upload a tape to the computer using a certain program?
Posted 27 January 2009 - 05:38 PM
I got mine at overstock.com for a real good price.
Posted 27 January 2009 - 06:22 PM
I prefer Olympus recorders than many others, however if you upgrade to stereo recorders I like Olympus and Sony... But those can range anywhere from $100 to $150, but in my opinion, well worth the money...
As for an EMF Meter, there's the issue... I don't think your budget is enough to get a descent enough one... Usually the EMF meter by Extech is a good starter one... Depending on where you get it, it can range from $90 to $110... But again, this is just my opinion...
Good luck...
Posted 27 January 2009 - 09:42 PM
As for the digital recorder I have done research in the lab and for EVP work you need 96 KBPS, stereo, with a 24 bit A to D conversion. The recorder also should record in WAV format since othr methods are lossy. The cheapest digital i have found that meets these specs is the H2 (A couple different manufactures) It retails at $200, can be found a little cheaper online if you shop around.
The Olympus recorders do not have sufficient frequency response to do quality analysis of the end product, they may sound clear but higher frrequencies and harmonics are missing from the recorded audio, thus spectrum analysis cannot be done reliably. You also want stereo capability because the two channels allows spatial analysis to be done. This method can give a distance and direction t the source of your EVP. Instead of simply the voice, you can determine where in the room it originated. Very helpful at validating a recording.
Posted 28 January 2009 - 11:42 AM
Too narrow it down, let's say I have about $400 to build a rig...what would your recommendations be to achieving one that will do the job right?
Looking forward to your input.
Posted 28 January 2009 - 05:09 PM
What would be a good, pocketbook friendly rig for the audio-recording formula you detailed above, Jim? Tax time is rolling around, and I am allowed a decent little stipend to contribute to upgrading my equipment (it's like Christmas for a paranormal researcher...hehe).
Too narrow it down, let's say I have about $400 to build a rig...what would your recommendations be to achieving one that will do the job right?
Looking forward to your input.
$400? You can go two ways. If you want digital portability, I would go with an H2 recorder and two good quality microphones. (The internal mics are OK, but they are too close together to allow for spatial analysis. ) You have your choice of mics, price generally equates quality. Shure or Audio Technica make several to choose from. About $125 for both. That leaves about $75. I would use that for an inductive pickup wand. A little experimental there, but that would allow you to do some research on the theory that EVP is actually caused by an EM Field rather than acoustic. (I have got them both ways, so the wand covers all bases.)
If portability is not the issue, I would check eBay for a deal on a good quality cassette deck. Usually about $100 will get a decent one. (Marantz, Teac, Akai, etc.) Then a 2 channel preamp to boost the gain of the mics to improve sensitivity. You also should consider one with equalization and gain controls to improve versitility. about $100, depending on features. You might also look into a ministudio recorder, deck and usually a four channel mixer to combine both of these. $200-$300.
Then you'll need the same mics I mentioned above to complete the system.

Firstly, I want to say that I'm enjoying reading what you're putting out here and am finding it very educational, so thank you for that.
Secondly, regarding the H2, I was looking at the unit over on amaqzon and the schematics show there to be only one external mic port. This may seem like a stupid question, but how do you get two mics to work in conjunction with one jack? Is there a patch cable/splitter combo or something similar that can be used? And do you have any specific model recommendations or a short list of mic capabilities we should be looking for in your opinion? I see a lot of mics out there that are unidirectional, but it feels counterintuitive to use those when trying to record the goings on in an entire room or area.
Posted 15 July 2009 - 04:50 PM
Regarding mic recommendations I don't make specific recommendations since in order to do so I would have to test virtually everything out there. I will say though that a unidirectional mic is recommended. The way you set that up is to place the recorder along one wall of a room preferably in a corner. Any activity would be in front of the mics and should be picked up accordingly, left and right. For outdoor use asume anything behind you is out of the field where you intend to cover and place the mics at one edge of the target area. They will cover the area same as if it were a room..

The Police Log is a digest of reports filed by the Warwick Police
Officer Maryellen Jessop reported she was dispatched to Macy's in the Warwick Mall on March 25 for a shoplifting suspect who was being uncooperative with security there. A loss preventive agent at the store told Jessop she watched the suspect take a number of articles into the fitting room where she was heard tearing tags off the items. The agent said he checked the dressing room and found two items that were left there and three tags that had been ripped from others. She told police she stopped the woman outside and she became belligerent and refused to give them any information. Nancy P. LaPorta, 30, of 20 Aquarius Dr. in Warwick was arrested and charged with stealing $115.15 worth of clothes.
A Warwick woman was taken to the ACI on March 25 after security at the Wal-Mart on Post Road told police she stole jewelry and a pair of boots from the store. They told police she switched her old shoes for the boots and put the boots on and walked out of the store with clothing she put on under her own while in the fitting rooms. Stephanie M. Theberge, 21, of 189 Irving Rd. was charged with taking $76.42 worth of merchandise and then transported to the ACI when she could not pay the $5,000 surety bail.
A Providence couple was charged with shoplifting and conspiracy to shoplift on March 23 after security at the Wal-Mart on Post Road told police they were monitoring the pair when they entered the electronics department and the male acted as a lookout while the female removed three cell phones from their packaging and concealed them in her sweatshirt pockets. Warwick police arrived before the couple exited the store and stopped them just outside the doors. Daisy Perez, 32, of 885 Atwells Ave. in Providence was charged with shoplifting and conspiracy and released with a summons. Santos Rosario, 33, of the same address was charged with conspiracy and held on $5,000 surety bail.
A Providence woman was charged with shoplifting at the same Wal-Mart on March 21, after security at the store told police they saw her take 12 items from the shelves and conceal them in her pocketbook before leaving the store without paying for them. Security told police the merchandise was worth $93.98. Sonia Thomas, 62, of 72 Ortoleva Dr. in Providence was later released with a summons.
Another Providence woman was charged with shoplifting on March 23 after security at Kohl's in the Rhode Island Mall told police she took shirts, sneakers and pants from their stock and was walking out of the store with the items concealed in her purse when she was stopped and taken back inside. Ingrid M. Rosales Rosales, of 111 Vandewater St. in Providence was charged with stealing $158.92 worth of merchandise and later released with a summons.
Russell S. Alessio, 47, of 206 Prairie Ave. in Providence was charged with felony shoplifting at Kohl's after he was caught fleeing from store security at Kohl's on March 19. Officer Gilda Fortier and another officer stopped Alessio as he attempted to cross East Avenue around 1:15 p.m. Security at the store said that Alessio had put on boots, pants, socks and underwear that belonged to the store before he attempted to leave without paying for them. Police said they recovered the boots, three pairs of socks, he had on a pair of jeans, and two pairs of underwear he had on under his own jeans. Officer Theodore Bulis reported that "his leather coat, a pair of leather gloves, the pair of jeans, his underwear and the one pair of socks" remaining belonged to him. He was also charged with being a probation violator.
Officer Gary Driscoll reported he was investigating a larceny at 1300 Jefferson Blvd. on March 20 when he got a second call about a theft that occurred just across the street from the first. A manager at East Coast Lighting told Driscoll that sometime between 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. someone took two batteries from trucks parked in his lot and apparently tried to take a third with no success. He showed him the two trucks that were missing the batteries and then showed him the attempted third truck. He told Driscoll the 31 Series batteries were worth a total of $500 and there were no suspects or witnesses.
Driscoll then went across the street to Netcoh Sales at 1301 Jefferson where a manager reported that four compressor pumps and parts for them had gone missing from under a pallet where they had been concealed. The manager said the missing equipment – three M-Globe-Jennys and one Rolair – were worth a total of $2,400. No suspects or witnesses. Detectives were notified and processed both scenes for evidence.
Officer Tammi Mello took a report of a larceny at Rob's Transmissions at 460 Warwick Ave. sometime overnight on March 19. The owner told Mello he locked his car in the lot the night before and retuned that morning to find the window smashed and a $379 GPS unit and a $600 BlackBerry cell phone were missing. Mello said there was some smeared blood on the driver's seat and on the door and she called BCI to process the scene. She said it appeared that the thief tried to pry the door open and damaged the doorframe before smashing the window.
On March 20, Officer Alfred Melucci reported that someone decided to slash the canvas top on a Mitsubishi Eclipse's convertible top at the Cowesett Hill apartments on Post Road when they failed to break the window with a rock to steal two GPS units worth a total of $185. No suspects or witnesses.
Officer Russell Henry reported that he believes there might be a connection between two instances of vandalism on Warwick Avenue recently. He said the manager of Murphy's Petroleum at 568 Warwick Ave. told him he came to work around 6:30 a.m. on March 20 and found that the glass front door had been smashed. The manager said there was a motion alarm set up inside the building and, although the broken door would have allowed someone to go inside, there was no report of the alarm going off and nothing appeared to be missing or tampered with inside. Henry said there was similar damage to a door at Car Quest, a business just a few businesses down the street around 2 a.m. but the alarm went off and there was no evidence of entry there as well. The manager said it would cost $800 to repair the door and that it was not the first time the door was broken. Henry said he could not determine what was used to break the doors.

Prosecutors in the Oscar Pistorius trial have sought to show that his girlfriend was awake and ate approximately two hours before her death, which would contradict the Paralympian's version of events.
State prosecutor Gerrie Nel has argued that the Paralympic gold medallist shot Reeva Steenkamp in a fit of rage, in the early hours of Valentine's Day last year.
Nel alleges that Pistorius and his girlfriend argued during the night and that Steenkamp took refuge in the toilet, where she was shot dead by Pistorius. He claims she ate after waking roughly around 1am.
But on Thursday, defence witness Aina Lundgren tried to cast doubt on the state's claim, testifying under cross-examination that gastric emptying -- the speed at which the stomach digests food -- is an "inexact science".
Prosecution witness Gert Saayman, a forensic pathologist, told the court earlier in the trial that the athlete's girlfriend ate at about 1am, roughly two hours before her death.
But according to Lundgren, an anaesthesiologist, various factors - including the stage in the menstrual cycle and diet pills - can affect the speed of digestion.
Any attempt to determine when Steenkamp ate is "purely speculative," she says, adding that the chicken stir fry dinner that Steenkamp ate contained "insoluble fibre" -- vegetables -- that may not have been digestible.
Nel questioned Lundgren's claim, saying there was nothing about a chicken stir fry meal that would cause Steenkamp's stomach to empty at a slower rate.
Pistorius says he was in bed asleep in his upmarket Pretoria home for five hours before he mistakenly shot 29-year-old Steenkamp through a locked toilet door, believing she was an intruder.
The 27-year-old Paralympic gold medallist shot the model and law graduate four times with a nine millimetre pistol in what prosecutors charge is premeditated murder following an argument.
Another defence witness, private ballistics expert Thomas Wolmarans, said it was hard to find the Winchester Ranger bullets Pistorius used to shoot Steenkamp, in order to carry out bullet trajectory tests, describing them as a "collector's" item.
"This bullet, this one with the black tip is absolutely a collectors piece these days," said Wolmarans.
"You can't put your hands on it, I've tried all over."
The defence is expected to conclude their case early next week, after the state has completed its cross-examination of their witnesses.

I was probably one of the last people to discover A Softer World, an interesting 'comic' that utilizes pictures of the real world, but sticks to a three-panel daily comic form. Usually the third panel has some sort of turn-around in thought. Mostly they are charming, funny, and full of bleak humor--and the bleakness is certainly part of the humor. One often finds oneself thinking, "Ouch!" while chuckling all the same. For a good example, check out this one. But sometimes, not so much. After reading through a bunch of their archives, I've found way too many references to violence against women than one would have expected from such a witty source.
As is par for the course with a lot of the comics I detail here, I actually really like this comic, generally. So, once again, this is tough love.
There Is Always More 'Humor' About Stalking, It Seems
Am I an old feminist curmudgeon? Perhaps. But this sort of thing still doesn't touch my funny bone at all:
I Said Peanuts
Poisoning Somebody? Not funny. Thinking About Poisoning Somebody? Funny...?
See What I Did There?
Another reference to domestic violence that's not really happening, so it can be funny, right?
The Cat's Out of the Bag, Hopefully
And finally, just out and out 'humorous' misogyny!
Because fantasizing about killing all of your ex-girlfriends and then playing video games is hilarious.

"Ghost Monkey," the series' Halloween episode, pushed the boundaries of reality and social norms in the name of comedy. It largely worked because everyone was on board and because the idea of a ghost monkey was ridiculous enough to accept without question. I wanted to see what was going to happen. "The Expert Witness" was less successful. It attempted to spin chaos out of a courtroom setting, and it had its moments when the gang's actions were in direct conflict with what a trial should be. But then the show threw the trial conceit away, letting characters wander in and out of judges' private chambers and openly make a mockery of the proceedings, unencumbered by bailiffs and security.
As usual, there's some set-up that gets all the characters in the same room by episode's end. Ruxin is working on a case against a girl who had an accident, sued for money to have plastic surgery, and is asking for more money to cover additional damages. Ruxin's trying to make the point that the plastic surgery—transforming her from "The Thing" to a super-hottie—was more than enough compensation. He needs an expert witness, and Andre is more than happy to comply, so long as he can obsess over his outfit choice and wear his pedophile circular glasses. Ruxin and Kevin beat the impulse out of Andre, but he still clams up on the stand and resorts to his terribly awkward tendencies. At the same time, Andre's pushing his awkwardness even further with Taco, offering to draw him nude in exchange for a trade. Even though Andre is clearly the butt of the joke, he maintains a healthy sense of humor about the whole thing, lending a lightheartedness to the way his story progresses. ("I'll fondle the trade out of him, if that's what it takes.")
Meanwhile, Kevin and Jenny have begun colluding, trading sex and thank you note-writing for players. Ruxin suspects something is up, brings it up a few times, then drops it. Later, when Pete is on the witness stand (to show Andre up), Ruxin uses the fact that Pete is under oath to get the truth out about Kevin's dealings. This is the point in the episode where things delve too far into fantasy land. It's completely unprofessional of Ruxin to do this, and he should be held by the judge and thrown off the case—even though he and the judge have a work-flirt relationship. But the judge pulls Ruxin into her chamber and tells him she'll forget the whole thing if he takes their flirtation to the next level. He accepts, and the rest of the gang storms in to find Ruxin down on his knees with a big doggy bone in his mouth. When Andre was having trouble with his testimony, it was enjoyable to watch Ruxin try and steer him back on track while trying to maintain some professional credibility. But once the whole conceit of the courtroom was gone, there no longer were social norms for the characters to buck. The episode simply became implausible without the danger to churn out more comedy.
Then there's the case of Taco, who once again spent the episode doing his own thing. He shows up to Kevin's trial because his TV is out and he's bored, meets Alia Shawkat the court's sketcher, and starts a fling. The two do the court recorder's version of sexting, he finds out she's married, and her husband shows up to beat Taco up. It's fun to learn the specifics of this weird rubric by which Taco lives his life, but once again the lack of cohesiveness means Taco's storyline falls by the wayside.
Most of this is kind of nitpicky. The League is still consistently entertaining, and all the actors seem to be getting more comfortable in their characters' skin. Taco's casual declaration of "I don't use front anything" says a ton about the character, the show, and how The League continues to find its comedy niche.

Vindictus opens Australian server, welcomes Mexicans
Vindictus has relaxed its regional restrictions allowing both Australian and Mexican gamers to play the action MMORPG.
Mexican players shouldn't have any issues on US realms, but for Australians, Nexon has opened a dedicated server.
Although it's not clear where the server is physically located, it's still quite a startling and very welcome investment for a free-to-play release.
Vindictus, which shares a setting with Mabinogi and was built on the Source engine, is available through Steam or directly through Nexon.
Thanks, Ausgamers.

text: Is the Grain Party Over? August 25, 2013 09:56 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Schafer Top Producer Editor Email Plan to weather the potential storm of lower prices What goes up ... must come down. Farmers saw record-high corn and soybean prices in 2012, and while prices are far from rock-bottom, they are dramatically lower. Farm Journal Economist Bob Utterback reminds us that markets are cyclical and says the bull-market years that crop farmers have been experiencing might soon give way to a bear market—if it hasn't already. "We've had some fantastic, record-level profits in agriculture," Utterback says. "I make the analogy of, we just had a great party; we got up on the table and danced and had a great time. But so did everyone else in the world." Now we're moving into the hangover year, he says. "Unfortunately, it's time to pay the bills for all the fun, but nobody wants to pay the bills. Therein lies the problem; how long is that bill going to be due?" Utterback asks. Demand overhaul. While high corn and soybean prices have put extra cash in grain farmers' pockets, it caused a lot of pain for end users. Livestock producers reduced herds, ethanol plants went on hiatus and foreign buyers found cheaper sources than U.S. crops. Utterback says now the U.S. must buy back demand. "You don't buy back demand with $7 or $8 corn; you buy it back with $4 corn." Steve Johnson, Iowa State University farm business management specialist, says farmers need to do a reality check. "We are moving into a new reality—$4 to $5 cash corn," he says. "But this might be the best thing that could happen to row-crop agriculture in the long run. We're going to have to rebuild our demand base that was decimated by high crop prices." Demand isn't the only problem, as U.S. corn stocks will triple and soybeans will double compared with this past year, Johnson says. That's based on USDA acreage and yield estimates. Storage game plan. So, what will farmers do with $4 corn at harvest? "Probably store it," Johnson says. "I think farmers will want to store corn rather than beans. Bins could be full of unpriced grain throughout most the winter into the spring months, waiting for deferred futures prices to rally and basis to narrow." Due to recent smaller crops, Johnson says a lot of farmers haven't used their entire grain storage or drying systems for several years. "Now is the time to clean out your bins and make sure they are working properly," he says. "You know this crop will be late and likely wet, especially in the northern Corn Belt states." By having your own bins ready, you can avoid lines and long-term commercial storage costs. "I'm not saying don't take your corn to town to dry and sell," Johnson says. "But you'll have to pay roughly 30¢ to 50¢ a bushel to commercially dry wet corn and be locked into the basis at that facility. Those costs can add up fast." He also advises to make sure you have plenty of propane to fuel the extra drying. "There will be a greater demand for propane this year than any year since probably 2009," he says. Another task Johnson recommends farmers do sooner than later is scout fields to know which ones will mature first. "In a corn field that you planted three times, you're probably not going to harvest it all in the same day." When scouting your fields, Johnson also suggests calculating early harvest yield estimates. "That will help you with preharvest sales," he says. "Then you can use those sales to cover your short-term cash flow needs while you store the rest of your crops." Look ahead to 2014. As hard as it might be to focus on the 2014/15 crop now, Utterback says you must do so to adequately manage risk. He suggests learning from the past few years, reducing your cost of production and focusing on how you can increase yields. Johnson agrees. "Start now on your 2014 marketing plan. I believe we will try to grow as many corn acres next year—we're not going to back off from corn. What else are you going to plant to offset high cash rents and other input costs?" With that in mind, Johnson suggests pricing your fertilizer and seed for next year now. "Recognize there will be good demand for strong-performing corn and soybean seed in 2014. Fertilizer is the one cost that will likely drop with the lower corn prices." Another major cost to start penciling out is next year's cash rents. Chris Barron, an Iowa farmer and AgWeb's Ask the Margins expert, says now is time of year when land rent levels are negotiated. "When prices are at these lower levels, it gives us an opportunity to maybe negotiate for lower cash rents," Barron says. "This is especially true for producers who paid higher rents during higher prices." He encourages farmers to be open with landlords about how lower grain prices could squeeze profit opportunities for the next few years. Johnson says 2013 is not the year to do nothing in terms of marketing, and 2014 will also require planning. "We're coming off one of the most profitable multiyear runs for row crops in U.S. history," he says. "There will be challenges, but this is no time to put our heads in the sand."

|741: St Mary's, Portskewett, Monmouth, Wales
|Other reports | Comment on this report
Mystery Worshipper: Saronie.
The church: St Mary's, Portskewett, Monmouth, Wales.
Denomination: Church in Wales (Anglican)
The building: This is a small, typical Welsh village parish church seating approx. 125 people. The building includes a gallery. It is the most dominant building in the village.
The neighbourhood: Portskewett lies between the two road bridges which cross the estuary of the River Severn, on the Welsh side of the river.
The cast: Rev. Lyndon Harrison, the vicar.
What was the name of the service?
9.15am Parish Eucharist.
How full was the building?
There were only a few places free, even in the gallery.
Did anyone welcome you personally?
I was given a newsletter and a locally produced communion book, along with a very new Anglican hymn book that even contained my favourite hymn, "And Can it Be". This is most unusual for any Anglican church I have visited. But there was no specific welcome.
Was your pew comfortable?
A standard pew which would have been uncomfortable if it had been a long service.
How would you describe the pre-service atmosphere?
There was plenty of quiet talking, but it wasn't off-putting.
What were the exact opening words of the service?
"Welcome to St.Mary's – and a special welcome to my brother, who is with us for the weekend."
What books did the congregation use during the service?
The new Anglican prayer book and a locally produced communion service book. There were no pew Bibles, as all the readings were printed on the service sheet.
What musical instruments were played?
A pipe organ in the gallery. There was one choirboy (who doubled as a server at communion) and a lay reader lady who read one of the lessons.
Did anything distract you?
Nothing – this was a very pleasing and peaceful church.
Was the worship stiff-upper-lip, happy clappy, or what?
The vicar preached from the chancel steps and didn't use the pulpit. This was a traditional type of service, and I got the impression that the vicar would have been a bit happy clappy if he could have got away with it.
Exactly how long was the sermon?
17 minutes, preaching without notes.
On a scale of 1-10, how good was the preacher?
9 I liked this preacher and his pleasing Welsh accent.
In a nutshell, what was the sermon about?
The service was based on the theme of temptation.
Which part of the service was like being in heaven?
The prayers.
And which part was like being in... er... the other place?
What happened when you hung around after the service looking lost?
A lady asked me why I was in the village – was I a visitor or a new resident? Everyone else appeared to be talking to their friends.
How would you describe the after-service coffee?
There was none. I think the vicar had to rush off to take another service in Rogiet at 10.45. He also had a Christening at 2.30 and the evening service at 5.00pm.
How would you feel about making this church your regular (where 10 = ecstatic, 0 = terminal)?
8 If I moved to this area, I would probably make this my home church. I'm a Methodist, but there is no Methodist chapel in the village.
Did the service make you feel glad to be a Christian?
Yes, very much so.
What one thing will you remember about all this in seven days' time?
The vicar's prayers made many references to healing and led me to believe this was an aspect of his ministry. The last hymn was "Shine, Jesus, Shine" and I thought he was going to raise his hands... but he only moved them outwards slightly.
