And the children are restless
Chutes and Ladders
And lots of Lego.
Oh, we read out loud
Now my voice is so croaky
A book full of stories
All about ghosts.
Maybe in evening
And sweet kids lie dreaming
I'll make my word count
And edit my podcast
But until that evening
A dinner needs cooking
Tired daddy comes home hungry and frazzled
Children are busy
Swimming lessons
And playdates with friends
Time flashes past
Deadlines a hurtlin' by
So little children,
What game is next?

Church steeples reach into the sky. Light flows in through luxuriously shaped domes. The artists of the Baroque period were skilful in using stucco, the play of light and colours to focus on the divine. In Upper Bavaria, their houses of God also shaped the appearance of the countryside. Where there were once Bavarian churches, abbeys and monasteries, there are now political, economic and, above all, religious centres. Today, centuries after secularization, they are inhabited by only a very few religious or clerical staff members. The cultural heritage, though, has been preserved. Embark on a journey through time, into the Baroque period, and admire the sacral architecture in the Blue Land. Afterwards you can get a taste of the art of brewing, an invention of the monks, in the adjoining monastery beer gardens.
The monks will open their gates to let you become acquainted with their special sanctuary. In the beer garden, you will be able to get a taste of home brewed amber nectar.
Here you will find amazingly beautiful sacral architecture and also your inner peace. Be sure to visit the abbey's gardens, including the herbal garden.
It is located in an enchanting valley framed by green mountain ridges. The Baroque building is impressive, especially the frescoed ceiling will transform you into a "Johnny Head-in-the-Air".
A mosaic of architectural styles awaits you. What you see here is not the result of mere arbitrariness, it is instead a remarkably designed church that is bound to enchant.
No half-measures here: this house of God is hugely elaborate. It is the unrivalled queen of sacral architecture of the Bavarian Rococo style – stunning and one of a kind.

Winter Park Paint Out Open House
The Winter Park Paint Out (WPPO) is officially under way. Easter Sunday April 21, 2019 was the open house at the Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens (633 Osceola Avenue Winter Park, FL 32789.) After dropping off a painting for the gallery walls, I went in the gorgeous gardens and decided to sketch these two musicians from the Florida Symphony Youth Orchestras.Tonight I will frame this painting and it will hand on in the Polasek Museum for the week along with every other painting I do this week. All the work is for sale. A portion of any sale will go to support the great work they do at the Polasek Museum. Mention that you are an Analog Artist Digital World fan, and you can get a 30% discount on an original painting of mine in the gallery.
If you have never been to the Polasek you should head out this week sometime since admission is free for the duration of the WPPO. The other painting I hung on the walls is a nocturne of the Lake Eola Fountain.
Twenty-five professional plein air artists will paint at the Polasek Museum and locations nearby with art lovers invited to watch the artists at work, and view their recently completed paintings in the gallery and attend free painting demonstrations. A full list of painting demonstrations and events can be found on the WPPO website. I plan to document as many events as I can.
Besides doing journalist sketches of the WPPO events, I plan to do a series of paintings of Park Avenue at night. On Friday April 6, 2019 from 5pm to 8pm, I will be giving a happy hour demonstration called Digital Poetic License. Poets from the Kerouac House Project will be reading poetry in the Polasek Garden as the sun sets over Lake Osceola, and I will be doing a digital sketch live on my iPad with the sketch in progress projected on a movie screen so that the audience can see my thought progress in real time. All artwork from the WPPO may also be viewed online as it is created at winterparkpaintout.org and of course my art work can be seen here daily.
Prints are available for each sketch for $250 and many originals can be purchased for $400. White museum grade shadow box frames are $100 more. You can e-mail Thor at firstname.lastname@example.com

In Johannesburg I stayed with an acquaintance of an acquaintance. About two years ago I met up with someone I had briefly worked with on a couple of projects, and I mentioned that I was planning to move to Senegal. He put me in touch with an Irish woman (whom he had never met but with whom he had somehow conversed in an online artists community, maybe?), who also worked with non-profits, had moved to South Africa a few years before, and was perhaps a kindred spirit who might advise me on my journey. I Skyped with her from New York, she was wonderfully supportive and helpful, and before we hung up she invited me to stay with her and her partner in Johannesburg if I ever made it that way. At the time I joked, "Sure, why not travel from one end of Africa to the other? See you in a few months!" But in the end, that's exactly what happened. Continue reading

South Africa part 1: Cape Town
I'm about to set off for four new places, and I've still got a bunch of catching up to do with posts about the places I've already been to…
So here's a rundown of the Cape Town portion of my Ethiopia / Tanzania / South Africa tour, and I'll attempt to follow this with Johannesburg and possibly Benin before I leave town tomorrow evening: Continue reading
what I was up to in Benin and central(ish) Senegal
I just noticed that the videos I made in Benin have been published, and I realized I never shared the ones I made in Senegal, so here they are.
The 3-minute English version of the Benin video:
And the 5-minute French version, which makes me want to jump up and down shouting, "I did it all by myself!" (Even though I didn't. I got help revising the subtitles, which I butchered on the first attempt.)
And below are the Senegal videos, Forou Serer first and Latmingué second. Mamie is the narrator of both! (She thinks I have made her a star because the videos played in New York. 🙂 )
Thanksgiving in Dakar
A belated happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! Last week was stressful, between planning against the clock for a 4-country shoot that begins on the 1st of December, and trying to pull off an American Thanksgiving in Dakar at the same time. I am affectionately calling last Thursday's festivities the toughest producing job of my life. But, in the midst of the madness, I did take the time to count my blessings and to acknowledge all that I'm grateful for. Which is so, so, so much this year.
Including the Thanksgiving meal itself. Until the moment everything was on the table, I wasn't sure I could pull it off. We didn't even order a turkey until the day before. The price for a 13 pound bird? Almost $60. Turkeys are rare and thus expensive here. Having never cooked one before, having found no pan big enough to hold it, and having realized too late that I had neither a grill to lift the turkey off the pan (apparently very crucial) nor sufficient time to marinade the bird (also important), the possibility of a very expensive turkey fail weighed on me as I went downtown to pick it up from the Lebanese poultry shop at 9am on Thanksgiving morning.
But here is what happened. As soon as I got back to the house, Madame Lo – who had never seen a turkey before in her life – went to work washing and gutting the thing I was too grossed out to touch, patting it dry with a towel, rubbing it down with a marinade we left on for an hour, and then wiping it away and replacing it with so much smeared-on butter that it gave new meaning to Butterball. She also stuffed some of the herb mixture between chunks of the flesh, Senegalese-style, and when it was time to close up the bird after jamming the (American Food Store-bought) stuffing in, she shoved her brochette skewers into the bird, snapped off the wooden handles and bent the metal into staples like the Incredible Hulk, and hand-stitched any remaining holes together with cooking thread. It looked like Frankenstein but the job was done, and after plopping the turkey onto a found-at-the-very-last-minute tinfoil pan (which we filled with quartered onions and a quarter-inch of apple cider that the Internet told me was a suitable replacement for a grill), it was ready for the oven…
…which is on the second floor. Under the weigh of its contents, the pan buckled and almost broke on the way up the stairs. Then there was the problem of the temperature. I knew the turkey was supposed to cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 3 hours. I had converted that to Celsius, only to recall that the Lo's oven isn't marked with temperatures but with the meaningless numbers 1 through 8. So I had to check on that thing – with the only meat thermometer I could find, an unreliable non-digital version – every five minutes for the last three hours of cooking. When it finally came out of the oven I had absolutely no idea if it was undercooked, overcooked, cooked on top but not bottom, or what.
The Lo's have two women who come to do the cooking and cleaning on weekdays, and Madame Lo wrangled them to help me prepare the other dishes. I would have been sunk without them, though the three of us made a rather ridiculous group: they were completely unfamiliar with everything I wanted to make and the ways I wanted to make it, and I sort of was, too. I've been making some of these dishes for years, but in Dakar I had to come up with creative ingredient substitutions and use completely different cooking tools. It's somewhat shocking to me that we made it work.
One dish that actually turned out better the Senegalese way was the sweet potatoes, which we cooked on the grill that they usually use for fish.
And a French baguette beats Wonder bread any day (though I know this from past and not current, i.e. gluten-free, experience.)
Speaking of which, the pumpkin and apple toffee gluten-free tarts that I ordered from a German baker who has a counter at the American Food Store were better than anything I could have whipped up. And it meant that we had an American, Senegalese, Lebanese, French, and German Thanksgiving. Exactly as it should be.
I wasn't sure how the Lo's would feel about the meal. I've cooked for them a few times before and I'm never sure if they are being polite or truthful when they compliment the food (except for Mamie, who is without fail so effusive that I know she can't be faking it). But this time they all went as nuts as Mamie usually does. They were in especial rapture over the (miraculous) perfectly cooked turkey, the pumpkin pie, and the green bean casserole, all of which they had never tasted before. Which meant that Mamie had to take it to a whole new level. She took off work early the next day to come home for the leftovers lunch.
Now Madame Lo is talking about making turkey for Christmas instead of their usual mutton. And I'm thinking of surprising them with another pumpkin pie that day. It's amazing how much joy sharing food between cultures brings.
[P.S. In the first photo, from left to right is Monsieur Lo and Madame Lo (I really call them that, which I find both hilarious and heartwarming), George (a friend of Tantie's), Tantie aka Armande, and Mamie aka Cecile. Felix is the oldest son and he no longer lives at home, Cecile is in her early 30s, Andre is in his mid-20s (and not pictured because he was working late), and Tantie, at 22, is the baby of the family. This is how I ended up living with them.]
my French bookshelf
There are four areas of language learning: listening, speaking, writing and reading. Regarding that last one, I discovered a couple of years ago that the best way for me to actually enjoy reading in French is to skip the difficult classics and turn instead to a genre I usually don't particularly care for: "chick lit." The same qualities I find exasperating and/or boring in my native language – formulaic plots, outdated tropes, low reading levels, and a focus on stereotypically "girly" subjects like beauty, shopping and dating – I find refreshingly accessible in French. (I know there are many exceptions to my generalizations. I thought "Bridget Jones' Diary," for example, was hilarious, clever and original – not a throwaway in the least.)
I've never read Sophia Kinsella in her/my native English, but I breezed through the French version of "Cocktail Club," about a trio of dubiously fabulous London besties whose friendship is nearly derailed by a crazy revenge-seeking childhood acquaintance of one of them. I'm guessing I could not have lasted more than four pages of it in English but in French I found it positively delightful,… entirely because I understood it all. Also, it was light and fluffy and easy enough to read before bed instead of the English-language books I usually depend on but now can't because a. I feel it detracts from my French efforts, and b. I finished all my English-language books and haven't found anything interesting-looking in Dakar bookstores' tiny English-language sections. (Don't talk to me about Kindle. Not going there.)
I've now established a routine of reading a chapter from one of my three current chick lit books every night, armed with a pen to underline all the words I don't recognize, so that I can add them to my French vocab list later. (My books look like that scene in "Say Anything" when Lloyd Dobler flips through Diane Court's dictionary and sees a sea of X's that mark words she's looked up.)
But during the day, I get to business. I'm slowly (very, very slowly) reading "Vol de Nuit," by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (author of my favorite book, "The Little Prince"), with a slightly different process than my nighttime one. First, I read a chapter straight through. Then I re-read it while simultaneously looking up words I don't know. Then I add those words to my vocab list, or rather, I add the ones that are not so obscure or esoteric (it's a book about 1940s postal aviation) as to be more trouble than the brain space they are worth.
Once I get through that one I'll move on to the Senegalese classics that have been recommended to me and that I bought months ago:
"So Long a Letter" by Mariama Bâ is part of the African feminist cannon. When her estranged husband dies, a woman practices the traditional mourning customs alongside his second, younger wife. (Polygamy is legal and common in Senegal, which is about 95% Muslim.)
"The Belly of the Atlantic," meanwhile, is a contemporary novel about two siblings, one of whom has emigrated to France and one of whom remains in Senegal.
I've also been dipping in and out of a collection of Léopold Sédar Senghor's poetry. Senghor was Senegal's first president following independence, and he was also an accomplished poet and one of the founders of the Négritude movement in Francophone writing. (Aside from Václav Havel, I don't know of any other president-poets – do you? I think that electing a poet says beautiful things about your country, though I'm biased since I'm half-Czech.) What I'm realizing about poetry as I read it in a foreign language, is that the cadence of the words is as important as their meaning. I am totally and completely adrift when reading these poems – I am lucky if I even get the general gist – but they are nevertheless so lovely to read because of the sound and flow of the words. Which I guess is all to say: there's poetry in poetry.
And God knows I need poetry these days.
It's going to be a long week. Hang in there!
mes rêves
I've finally found a reason to be thankful for sleeping lightly. This past Saturday, after spending much more time than usual with Mamie and Tantie (we hit up the holiday market during the day and went dancing at night), I dropped into bed exhausted – both from staying out late and from speaking so much non-stop French.
You know when you're in that liminal state between wakefulness and sleep and you catch yourself thinking nonsense thoughts? I was doing that in French, which made whatever I was thinking seem that much more bizarre (and awesome). I quickly dropped off to sleep and started dreaming. A guy, maybe a friend?, was distraught because he had found out his girlfriend was rumored to have once been an escort or porn star or something. I responded with a lecture about how even if that were the case, it wouldn't change who she was, and he should think twice about reacting harshly. (My dream self is not necessarily representative of my real-life self, I'd like to note.)
It was around this point that my dream turned lucid, and my consciousness interjected, "Wait a minute… I'm dreaming in French!! This entire speech I'm making is in French! And check out these crazy complicated conjugations I'm doing!" But then my lucid self questioned whether I was actually dreaming in French or just dream-speaking in French, i.e. putting nonsense words together like I had been doing right before falling asleep. So my conscious self went word for word over whatever I said to the guy next and confirmed that yes, I was in fact dreaming in (somewhat) properly formed, logical French. This in turn inspired my dream self to sermonize further just to hear herself speak.
And then my full bladder unceremoniously woke me up, allowing me to recall that I had been dreaming, to remember a few words and phrases of what I had said, and to confirm in real life that I had crossed over the dreaming-in-French threshold. I have never peed so happily in my life.
Why? Because many, many people have told me that they knew they were becoming fluent in their foreign language when they started dreaming in it. While French has shown up in my dreams here and there, it has always been just a few words or phrases, and I was always too deeply asleep to tell whether it was true French or babble. Lately, I've been feeling that my progress in French is crawling along and that I'll be dead before I'll be proficient. But now I have a small glimpse of hope.
P.S. Have you ever had lucid dreams? It is so much fun. I used to be an expert at it when I suffered from insomnia in my 20's and was always on the edge of rather than fully asleep. Not only would I be aware that I was dreaming, but I could also sometimes control the dream like a self-designed virtual reality game. These days, my better sleep comes at the expense of lucid dreaming… though some people think you can train yourself to do it.

Atari Nerd: Lynx Garage Excavation
Inspired by Jeff's Atari excavation a couple weeks ago, I went into the garage this weekend trying to find the Atari Lynx we bought back when it was released in the USA in 1989. Far back in the garage, I found a plastic box with the word "Handheld" scribbled on it.
Inside, there was a Lynx and a Game Gear!
The Game Gear I bought for my wife and I to play on our Honeymoon in 1995 (romantic, eh? I still have a lot to learn). Here are the games had for it.
Columns must have been inside the Game Gear, as it is missing from this photo and it was the best game. That game was the reason I bought this for my wife for our honeymoon in the first place. The Star Wars game was fun too, but I got stuck with Luke on Tatooine and never got past it.
Below is the original Lynx box from 1989. I recall that the box was never sealed. We bought the last one from Software Etc. This must have been from the same policy that continues to this day at GameStop where they will sell you an open game or system as new. Boo to you GameStop, boo to you!

Sebring International Raceway has unveiled the official poster for SuperSebring 2020, March 18-21. The doubleheader weekend features the 68th running of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Presented by Advance Auto Parts on Saturday, March 21, preceded on Friday by the FIA World Endurance Championship 1000 Miles of Sebring.
The art reflects the unique doubleheader race weekend, with the world's best cars and drivers competing on the legendary Sebring circuit that originated from a WWII B-17 combat crew training base.
"Artist Roger Warrick has again captured the spectacle of day and night racing at Sebring," stated Sebring International Raceway President and General Manager Wayne Estes. "For seven decades the Sebring poster has been a coveted memento for Sebring fans. This year's poster proudly continues that tradition."
The IMSA (International Motor Sports Association) Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring was recently voted by fans as the Best Motorsports Race in North America in a USA Today Reader's Choice poll.
In addition to the two classic endurance races on Friday and Saturday, the Sebring weekend will include the Alan Jay 120 Michelin Pilot Challenge race on Thursday, March 19, along with the IMSA Prototype Challenge race.
Tickets to SuperSebring 2020 are available online at sebringraceway.com or by calling 800.626.7223. Children 12 and under are admitted free when accompanied by a paying adult.

We The People & Countdown to Extinction
A recent study funded by the Department of Homeland Security listed domestic right-wing groups as two of the top three greatest terrorist threats in America. Nestled within our own borders, these citizens, many of whom are highly trained veterans, are on a mission to protect and defend the rights of the Constitution. After the election of President Obama, the number of these groups skyrocketed by over 800 percent- reaching an all-time high in 2012 with over 1,300. In an effort to understand this phenomenon better, VICE sent correspondent Gianna Toboni to investigate these so-called patriots, training and taking up arms along the border.

It was a great event on the night of Friday, April 9th . 453 members of th the four Classes of our Regional Synod convened at the stately Imperia on Easton Avenue in order to celebrate a lay recognition dinner. First Reformed Church had three honorees: Pam Gray, Heather Epstein and Erie Beemsterboer.
The dinner was special this year because it had a special program. Instead of a keynote speaker, honorees were asked to provide samples of their work for which they were being honored. Eleven honorees responded, among them all three from our church! Heather gave a short PowerPoint presentation on the special needs confirmation class curriculum she and her husband Dan had helped to develop for Walter Boyles. Erie provided, together with husband Stef, a beautiful sample of Dutch dancing. And Pam talked about the graveyard tour and reenacted one of our earlier pastors' wives.
Here is what the program brochure said about our honorees. It should be added that Heather, meanwhile, has assumed the additional responsibility as our head deacon.
Erie Beemsterboer
Erie wears many different hats in our church. She is President of the Women's Guild, leads our Handbell Choir, is a member of the Invitation & Outreach Committee, and co-chairs the Worship Committee. She is also the leading spirit behind our Prayer Shawl Ministry and sings in the Adult Choir. On Christmas Eve, she plays the violin, and when a luncheon or dinner is needed, she joins the team in the kitchen. Erie also has a seat on the Fund-raising Committee and leads our Dutch Dancing Group. In addition, Erie volunteers as church secretary on four days of the week. Today we honor Erie not just for the multitude of her responsibilities, but also for the fresh wind she and her family have brought to First Reformed Church.
Heather Epstein
Heather represents a new generation in our church. Five years ago, she came as a young student. Today she is married and teaches students with special needs. In 2007, she and her husband Dan helped create a curriculum for Walter, a confirmation class student with autism. When we celebrated Walter's confirmation in 2008, it was one of the biggest worship services of the year. In addition, Heather chairs our Christian Education Committee. She is involved in SNAP, our task force for people with special needs. She is also one of the clerks on Consistory, sings in the Adult Choir, and participated in our Interfaith Exchange with our Turkish-Muslim friends, including traveling to Turkey in 2009. Heather is a true blessing to our church.
Pamela Gray
At various times, Pam has held many functions at First Reformed Church, including the direction of the Children's Choir, being in actress in our Godspell production, and reenacting a historic character in our cemetery tour. She is a member of the Adult Choir. Her coffee hours are highlights of the month. Most important, however, is Pam's career as lay preacher and worship leader. For a few years now, she and her daughter, Ashley, have led worship on many occasions when we pastors were not present. We owe it to Pam and others that our pulpit supply budget is very small. More importantly, as a member of our church, Pam provides our congregation with a worship leadership that is familiar and close to everybody; something a guest preacher could not bring to us in the same way. It has been exciting over the years to see Pam grow in her ministry.

The legal profession will rise up to challenge the constitutionality of the federal government's proposed Bill C-51 once it becomes law, says Toronto criminal defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger.
"The defence bar cannot sit back and take this sitting down," Neuberger, partner with Neuberger & Partners LLP, tells AdvocateDaily.com.
"There needs to be activism, and there needs to be discourse about this because it affects the integrity of the trial process. This is a serious blow to fairness."
The bill recently made its way through the Senate and still must be passed in the House of Commons to become law.
Once approved, C-51 will expand the Criminal Code's "rape shield" provisions that guard a complainant's private records — such as diaries and medical files — to include communications of a sexual nature that are in the possession of a defendant.
Emails, text messages, video and audio recordings, or other kinds of communication between the accused and complainant that contain sexual content, would be among the records added for protection.
C-51 will also require defendants to apply by way of a pre-trial hearing for the right to use any such communications.
The provisions have been labelled the "Ghomeshi rules," for former CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi, whose 2016 sex assault trial saw his lawyers present emails and text messages that challenged the credibility of the complainants and resulted in his acquittal.
The fallout from the decision led to protests over the criminal justice system's treatment of sex assault complainants, and the government's introduction of the reforms contained in Bill C-51.
The bill will diminish access to justice, allow complainants unprecedented access to disclosure, expose defendants to a tri-party litigation and lead to "unfair or wrongful convictions," says Neuberger, who estimates sexual assault cases make up at least 60 per cent of his practice.
"The difficulty now is that months in advance of a trial, the complainant has full knowledge of the material he or she will be cross-examined on with the benefit of counsel," he says.
"This robs the defence of being able to present such information at trial without the complainant being able to manufacture or fashion their own answers."
Neuberger says requiring defendants to apply for the right to use communications through a pre-trial hearing will increase their financial burden.
"This may prevent people from bringing these applications because they don't have the funds. So it will raise very significant access to justice issues," he says.
Neuberger believes soon after Bill C-51 becomes law, multiple constitutional challenges will be filed, including a case he handles that involves a pre-trial hearing on communications.
"The defendant is on trial and subject to the stigma and repercussions resulting from an accusation," he says. "These are very serious charges with dire consequences, and the accused is entitled to rights and a fair process.
"Having to disclose relevant information about the subject matter of the offence, in my opinion, offends the Charter.
"It is not something that we've ever contemplated in the criminal justice system in this way," Neuberger says. "This is a difficult circumstance that I see as a knee-jerk reaction to the Ghomeshi case. It is not well thought out and creates a barrier to justice. It will be fought all the way to the Supreme Court."

Parent Testimonials
Courthouse Academy has been the absolute best school for our three children. We enrolled our oldest daughter at Courthouse when she was 2 years old. She is now in 1st grade and reading at a 4th grade reading level. Our second child started at Courthouse Academy in the infant room and is currently in the Spanish Immersion Pre K class. To see her writing her letters and numbers and communicating with her teachers at school in Spanish is quite remarkable. Our youngest child, also started in the infant room and is getting ready to advance to the "transitional two`s" class. For parents who work outside of the home, choosing the right place to care for your baby is a difficult decision. We knew that we made the right decision for each of our children. The infant and toddler room teachers have been so warm and loving towards our babies (now toddlers and big kids). From the infant room up, we have always felt as though we are leaving our children with others who truly care for them in a safe and nurturing environment. Each day when I drop our youngest off at school, he immediately runs towards his teacher to give her a big hug. This warms my heart and confirms to me that although he cannot verbalize it yet, he truly feels safe and loved when he is at school. Our oldest children have developed strong friendships that I believe will last for years to come. I could go on and on about all of the other wonderful things that this school has to offer including art class, music class and multiple enrichment opportunities. We have watched each of our three children flourish developmentally, socially and academically while attending Courthouse Academy. The foundation that this school is giving our children will surely set them up for a bright future ahead!
"Courthouse Academy has been in my life for over 20 years. My brother and I both attended and now I have the chance to bring my daughter here. It's such a welcoming environment and I feel she is getting the best out of her experience here . The teachers are very kind and I know my daughter enjoys going to school. We are looking forward to the education and memories my daughter will receive over the years."

The Rho Foundation will provide funding for all undergraduate membership programing that pertains to professional and personal growth, and the enhancement of their leadership abilities.
The Foundation will provide support for all National and local philanthropic and service efforts.
Educational Advancement of Minority Men
The second element to the Rho Foundation will focus on the importance of education as it relates to the development of minority men. Studies have shown that the lack of education amongst minority men is a direct correlation to less opportunities, poverty, poor health, less likely to sustain employment, and more than likely to become involved with the criminal justice system.
In an effort to reverse this vicious cycle, the Rho Foundation will design programming and initiatives that will advocate and promote the importance of educational advancement amongst minority men through mentoring, empowerment and civic engagement. In addition, the Rho Foundation will partner with community based organizations, social service and law enforcement agencies to address sociocultural challenges that affect minority men. The primary responsibilities of the Rho Foundation are:
With the assistance from community based organizations, churches, social services and law enforcement agencies identify at risk minority men.
Provide comprehensive programming for at risk minority men that will promote greater academic success.
Promote positive imagery, parental involvement and empowerment

Richard & Helen's Wedding at Park View Farm in Wokingham
2 July 2016
Richard & Helen's wedding was great fun! Their marquee was a giant tipi tent by a beautiful lake and you could feel like festival when we got there, very cool!
Their first dance was 'Tender' by Blur, great choice of song, first time we heard this song played as a first dance, and that was great choice as the song brought everyone together in a very hippy way, we loved it!
After our last set, they also had organised a Firework display which was amazing and a great treat for everyone! On our live set we played some songs we don't often play which were so much fun to do, such as: 'Back in black' by Acdc, 'Can't Stop' by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, 'Smells like teen spirit' by Nirvana and many more……
Richard & Helen's guest were a fantastic crowd to perform to, the dance floor was full from start to finish, I think it's fair to say everyone had a fantastic evening.
We wish the happy couple all the very best for the future.

Sony and The Guardian are trying to predict what life will be like in 2025 - just 13 short years ahead. The days of waiting for technology to become settled before 'buying in' are long since gone as technology leapfrogs technology at a pace of change that the consumer struggles to keep pace with. With this in mind The Guardian asked five best selling authors to write short stories to give a brief view of what they see life will be like.
The Good Listener by Michael Marshall SmithIn this story the author reflects on his fathers death and using his father's 5 year old mobile phone he retraces the holiday he never took with him and discovers that perhaps technology doesn't have all the answers. I liked this story for it's human element. But the technology?
The author predicts cars capable of driving themselves and there are already competitions for people to race cars that drive themselves where success brings two million dollar prizes. But these competitions are off-road, away from traffic and in 2007, in an urban challenge, 4 cars finished in time at an average speed of up to 14 mph. I think such cars are possible but they would require a complete redesign of the traffic system so I doubt it would happen in 13 years. These cars were based on operating systems of Linux and Windows. Reboot when you get stuck at the traffic lights? Interestingly, one of the leading contenders, is now the 'Google Driverless Car'.
The author predicts voice response commands and artificial intelligence in cars... but voice response and AI would be very expensive and I don't believe the public would pay, nor do I think it would be accurate or fast enough for safety or acceptability. I saw voice recognition technology in the early '80s and while it has improved, we are 30 years on and it's not made any serious impact yet.
The author predicts an increasing role for mobile phones... Yes, I 100% agree. It has been gradually evolving since they first came along and they have taken on roles no-one could have predicted - like identifying aircraft flying overhead... how did we cope before?
Life in 2025 by Marcus Sedgwick
A young programmer writes an app for a software corporation that enables people to select and write their own dreams.
This brings him success and promotion and as the corporation seeks a bigger and bigger market it leaves the programmer wondering...
This time the author's predictions are more radical... Controlling people's dreams and nano technologies. There are some huge leaps being made in man-machine interfaces and who knows but dream control may be possible and sooner than we think. And from your mobile phone as a downloadable app! And what would people be like if this was possible? Well that is something that the author explores in a very real way. He comes to pretty much the same conclusion as Michael Marshall Smith in that technology does not answer everything but he also speculates that nano-technologies could be used to ease or even solve many of the third world issues.
My suggestions for 2025
I think that already technology is abusing people and I make no forgiveness for adding this link to my ramblingmole blog where I was infuriated by what manufacturers should consider! But apart from many more roles and much more reliance on what is laughingly called a mobile phone today, I can also predict a continuing role for larger devices for people like myself who struggle to see and read the screens without getting my reading glasses out (and also have large clumsy fingers)! But will TV sets, as tv sets, survive? I think not as they will take on a much more flexible role and 'transmission' may shift totally towards the internet.
But one major prediction I would make, and hope for, is continued reduction in power demands for the newer technologies which will help to reduce our demand for more power production and perhaps lead to a near dependence on sustainable renewable energy. This would hopefully also lead to totally viable electric cars because I do not believe a public transport system will ever have the support of individuals.
Recent breakthroughs in laser technology will bring micro-chip development of light speed chips and may mean that hardware will start to last longer while software and apps remain the focus of change (but maybe not).

This German idea works or doesn't work, but certainly when applied to my balloons it shows the way to go .. My balloons are not perpetuam motion, just a giant heat engine for low temperature, which has already been proven to work because the balloon is rising due to this relatively low temperature inside.
And this German way how to properly enlarge it, it will work, enabling the previously wasted energy released into the air to use, and it can be energy released into the air from a coal-fired power plant, gas-fired power plant, or four-stroke energy engine (atomic power plants also), which only have no more than 50% efficiency, and the rest they release into the atmosphere And now maybe even with 40% of this energy can be used for electricity production, which can even give 90% of the total efficiency to give us such a new power plant ...
Well, such "balloons" would have to have dimensions of 10 x 20 x 10 meters, and they could be built like scenes at outdoor concerts .. but the skin weight would be balanced, as well as thermal illumination in the form of foam polystyrene lining could be done .. No only the height of the tower is a problem .. Al I think that the height of 200 meters is quite real, that is, say, these 6 pieces of such "balloons" on this tower could work on one side, which would give a pull of up to 3000 KG ..
Well, for example, exhaust fumes from a diesel power plant could be introduced there, and with cooling hot water too .. So theoretically 50% of this heat energy lost in such a power plant could be forced to work ...
Even water vapor could also be used to fill a "balloon" .. its weight is only about 0.5 KG at a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius ..
hot air pump, e.g. power plant chimney ...
and works 24 hours a day regardless of the weather ..

So here in slow motion you can see how the valve works in a four-stroke internal combustion engine .. You can see perfectly the "precision" of this mechanism .. It is best to watch it on the maximum screen .. You can see how the valve is when not pressed (and then there is a stroke of work with high pressure ) we are simply shaken by the effect of spring vibrations bouncing off the valve face and inertia .. At the bottom of this valve there is a "mushroom" which closes the way to the cylinder .. But since the valve stem dances so, the mushroom also makes such movements .. A since it performs these movements, even when it is "theoretically" closed, it really does not close the cylinder tightly, despite the fact that it is subject to a stroke pressure of up to 100 atmospheres. And we can imagine how much of this pressure escapes from the cylinder, on the effect of these "supposed" small, but very spoiling cylinder tightness, the movements of this mushroom .. Because at a pressure of 100 atmospheres, we can imagine that even a small gap, however, can even drop to 30 atmospheres make .. this mechanism is economical, and produced in virtually all internal combustion engines .. And complacency that the valve will be tight, because it presses it to the seat, high pressure in the cylinder is only the "wishful thinking" of the designers of such a system. because you can see that this is not true, because the valve sways and bounces off the socket, just when it should be closed ... This film helped me understand why my engine without these valves has such high efficiency and power, because how it receives in the cylinder, these 100 atmospheres, I will never lose my tightness all the time, closing the "valve", maybe like 2 atmospheres .. Well, but the amount of energy to use will be 3 times greater than in a traditional engine ... because 98 atmospheres .. And so on every cylinder .. adding to this even 40% more displacement, and twice as high achievable maximum revolutions, it also receives incredible power ten times greater than the original factory engine ... the load. Well, to find out about all this, I had to do [for 3 years of hard work a prototype of this engine, and say that it is so, although at first it did not seem to me at all, that so much is possible .. But it is thanks theoretically, to drive a Toddler (Fiat 126), with the same power as the original, you need a motor that will be smaller these ... 10 times .. But all this can not be determined by just watching the animations of my engine and criticizing me .. You need to spend your private million dollars to find out that this is the case ... And this film also shows that it is possible with all the imperfections of the current valve system ...
Even an indicator pressure test on an oscilloscope shows us that the pressure drops, but does not show us WHERE it escapes ...

Unfortunately, the Carnot engine is only a fragment of the reality surrounding us related to heat engines .. But most try to explain it as a generally applicable law. In the meantime, for example, you can do a simple experiment at home with a "cold engine". Just pour cold water into the sink and put a screwed plastic drink bottle into it. We will see how it will change its shape due to the cooling of the air inside by cold water. Based on the change in its appearance, we see that also the engine would be possible on this principle. Everything is relative in physics .. But learning about heat omits many important physical quantities such as evaporation, freezing and most important - time. And theoreticians come to the conclusion that entropy is steadily increasing, but what about the scientific approach cannot be reconciled too much, because what will happen if this entropy is ever going to run out ?
I present here, probably the largest heat engine that a man can build (It is suitable for the Guinness book of records
) And theoretically, the pressure does not play any role in it, because the balloon from below is open .. the air heats up and the balloon can rise even at 5000 meters (record is 20,000 m), then the first balloon empties from warm air and fills the second, which thanks to the scrolling line to their tether will do electricity in the generator. Then the cycle repeats, from what we release at the top warm air and the bottom one, we fill it ... The old good principle and pressure does not play any role .. It's just a curiosity that not everything with heat is a Carnot engine ..
By the way, a hot air balloon is the longest-lasting machine in the air so far - the record is over 10 days ...
This shows because maybe there are other heat engines with higher efficiency than currently known .. Anyway. there is already a contribution to new thinking ...

Here is the thermodynamic problem .. We have in a box, in a vacuum is a set of thermal engines with generators ... Will this set be more efficient than it would be normally installed without a box?
it's about how laws of thermodynamics work on the Equator, and how on the Pole.
Different temperatures
on the Equator 40 degrees Celsius and at the Pole - 40 degrees Celsius also for efficiency and the layout of the engine will be important ...?

And finally, we have good access to this NASA CALCULATOR for flight profiles. No Java pieces are needed.
Well, you can see that there is a place on the air profile, where the speed of the air is 3 times higher than the speed of the general .. but this is only on a small part of the profile .. But there would be set turbine ..
here a link to this calculator and you can start learning aerodynamics yourself ... before the university is formed in this direction of aerodynamic energy

Now, when I was surprised by the Polish inventor Tadeusz Tański from 1925, but in my new Feliks Roller gaze, this simple engine system was created ......
This is 12 cylinder dual boxer or H engine .. name Feliks-Tański engine..
Its movable parts are a double piston, a single piston pin, and Feliks Roller with lever...
Now there is NO lateral force of the piston and the croshead also ...

Well now here is a picture as I imagine my Feliks Roller. This is the version of Felix Commer4 of course a two-stroke version. in which the main torsion forces are transmitted through the maximum large areas of the "connecting rod", and are supported at the point where they work, and do not cause bending, as in the classic crankshaft. That is why it does not tend to fatigue the matariału. and relatively long trouble-free work .. And a little lower costs of doing....
Well, of course, the masses reciprocating a little smaller ..

Monitor Ship
it's about the steam engine of the "Monitor" ship, which contributed to the victory of the Union, but later sank in bad weather. Since then, these genius technical solutions have been covered by the ocean. It was only after 140 years, an attempt was made to extract the "Monitor" engine, it was retrieved in 2001 and reconstructed for the next 10 years.
Thanks to this, they saw the light of day and became popular only, the technical solutions that were used there during the entire 150 years, when the ship was covered with the ocean, they were not remembered too much ..
Here, the history of the project and the way in which this ship and the steam engine was created .. here is also a movie about how the engine model works.
I of course independently invented Felix Roller for a multi-cylinder engine, replacing the classic crankshaft, but I noticed that the engine "Monitor also had a part of my Felis Roller, and this solution worked well, in the engine 250 KW of power. Clearly, it has two such Shafts with levers, for longitudinal displacement of power. Also, the power take-off wheel is supported on one side (on the other only timing drive)
After covering the "Monitor" engine, I was very happy that my relationship had already been tested practically, but only for two cylinders .. It lay hidden under the water these 150 years .. but now everyone knows about it and can see that the solution works ... for 150 years, no one took it into account .. My Feliks Roller system I designed for 8 cylinders and 16 pistons ((Feliks Commer TS4) .. with the reception of the main power, on the crank shaft one-sided supported .. On the other hand it can be a small crank driving the shaft going to the front of the engine, driving the water pump, fan, generators and compressor, but flexibly coupled ... (as in "Monitor" driving the timing) Here is the animation that I made, showing how the main engine system The Monitor was working.
Yes, this story is coming round and that's why it's worth knowing .. This is the history of the United States ..

So since all of your designs rely on crank-like linkages, how are you going to prevent those failures?
Here in my hand the engine shaft from my new4 stroke ..
And because of the fatal mechanical distribution of the crankshaft forces, several cases of failure of the same shaft
A 8 times greater torque (first gear and differential transmission), they transfer to the wheels of the half-axle, which can be seen in the picture of the gearbox with the diverter, from the engine of which the shaft comes ...
they have a diameter of 25 mm and a long length ..
I have never seen a failure in these half-axes.
That is, to transfer 8 times more torque, this dimension is enough ..
The title is an explanation of why the classic crankshaft is a fatal construction and despite the large dimensions it bursts .. as seen in the pictures .. Here a little about the crush of such shafts, which even without load, under their own weight can be bent.
This is called the springing of the crankshaft.
On this link, how are you measuring this springs when the engine is standing. As a result of these crushing, the shafts are breaking up in the middle of their life, despite the fact that they are relatively thick ...
This causes a fatal rule of the "crankshaft" in its very construction.
SINGLE-supported cranks have no faults. Here is an example, from a locomotive, such a one-way crank in addition, on springs, which causes additional wheel movement. The power transferred is some couple of thousand horsepower ...
I have never seen damage ...
I have never seen damage ...
So a single-sided crankshaft is no longer so emergency, because it does not have this bending, as well as its design must be sufficiently strong.
And here is my design lever, to Feliks Roller, which is basically quadruple, and can be supported on the bearing in the cylinder axis, without causing any bending of my shaft ...
Only at the ends will be full bearings determining Feliks Roller

Most interesting Andrew but you won't find the answer to my question in the workshop manual, you will only find it by experiences caused by working on this type of engine.
It was, as I said a very common occurrence caused solely by not decoking the engine.
The excessive backpressure, as shown by the gauge on the control panel clearly showed the fault.
The bar magnet was used to get the broken part of the engine out, when ground correctly this part, being made of carbon steel would make an excellent addition to your tool box.
A crosscut chisel f.o.c.
That crank, sure it's not a wrist watch crank?
Think about the back pressure load on parts caused by excessive carbon build up on two strokes. Qoute./
Yes Merlyn, you do not even know how much I appreciate your remarks. because I know that I will not find them in the workshop manual ... It's good that you want to work with me with your experience. As you know, I do not have too much, because I had to find these codes in music .. That's why your help is great .. I now add my cody and maybe something good will be ...
You have noticed the excessive accumulation of carbon. Now that we have a new type of engine Feliks Commer, where there is no classic crankshaft, only pins with a diameter of 30 mm, we can approach the issue in a different way, as it was so far. These small plates do not need such lubrication as large crankshaft bearings, besides they do not even turn round, and do semi-turn .., so the lubrication can be a little smaller .. I do not know if you remember that two-stroke engines for motorcycles, are lubricated only with oil in the fuel and in a ratio of 1: 50. And these engines, completely protruding .. so I thought that my Felix Commer can be lubricated with normal diesel fuel, also with the addition of this oil, let's also say 1; 50 as we will take into account that diesel fuel already has good lubrication in the sona .. Imone would be poured into the engine instead of lubricating oil. Well, when 10 liters of such fuel are needed for lubrication, the amount of oil added would be 0.2 liters .. No and I think that this quantity would not plug the windows, because the rest would be the same as the main fuel, it would be fired without coke .. And I think that this should solve the problem of this too nagar. Simply a new lubricant oil felix, i.e. diesel fuel plus 1:50 oil for two strokes ... .. poured into the engine, instead of lubricating oil ..
It would have such advantages that in the winter it would not be too dense, and in the summer too sparse ... ... and this price is not too high ..
So even with a large amount of "oil" you would not have to worry about ... because also coke would not be created ... because, from burning fuel, it does not arise ...
I just do not know what oil companies are doing ...
here, one bottle is enough to make 50 liters of "feliks oil"
And here the drift part of the watch, which I personally will do on an ordinary lathe. The material to do this crankshaft weighed 80 KG and the shaft lasts 4 KG. It lasted for a month ...
You know how you see the problems of crankshaft production, and that's why I know it's not a simple thing ...
Here are a few examples, however, that the crankshaft is not necessarily a successful construction .. and despite its thickness, sometimes it ends ... And I will ask if ever seen such a broken clutch shaft, despite the fact that it is much thinner than the crank

Here, such a connecting rod of my idea .. For a semi-rotary shaft, it can be such, because all forces act by pushing the connecting rod to the lever .. only incidentally it is possible to act detachment parts from each other, so its protection can be negligible .. During normal engine operation, piston it is only pressed against the lever all the time ..
However, the cooperating surfaces are relatively large, and the connecting rod weight is smaller .. Formy Feliks Commer ..

What is a "Feliks Roller"?
this is the roller between the levers ... I let it be named ... I do not have to be about a larger diameter than a clutch shaft .
it's just a diagram that does not have to have a crosshead, but only a normal short connecting rod.

Here the red line is marked by the piston path associated with the lever. At 90 degrees the pressure of the piston on the cylinder wall is equal to 0, and with the traditional system the maximum .. And then we have virtually full torque ..

How You Can Help Save The Bees
Since the late 1990s, beekeepers around the world have observed the mysterious and sudden disappearance of bees, and report unusually high rates of decline in honeybee colonies. Not only is this a sad fact on its own, but bees and other pollinating insects play an essential role in our ecosystems and food production. A third … Continue reading How You Can Help Save The Bees

I just purchased my first bottle of glaze and I'm not sure how I'm suppose to use it. I ask the lady in the shop did she have anything to make my gumpaste shine and she gave me this. She said use 1 to 1. one part glaze and one part water?? But, I tried that and it's a mess. The glaze doesnt breakdown and mix with the water? Am I doing something wrong?
I haven't heard of the glaze. I've always steamed my gumpaste to make it shiny, is the glaze something you use in place of steaming? Hope somebody can help. Good luck
I use the glaze a lot and definitely do not mix with water. I use a brush to paint on the glaze and let dry. When you have finished with the brush put a little dishwashing liquid in the palm of your hand and rub brush through this to remove the glaze before washing with water otherwise if you put straight into water you will not get the glaze out. I ruined several brushes before someone suggested this tip. As lorijom says she steams her flowers, I do too but like to use it on say black shoes, the black suitcase in my photos or articles you can't steam just to give it a final gloss. I also mix it with gold or silver colours and alcohol so the gold and silver don't drop off and it is so much easier to place lettering onto the cake and no colour marking the cake. The only thing mix the amount of colour you need as you can't use it again. Remember clean your brush straight away. Hope this is of some help.
When we did the poinsettia and peony in Jennifer Dontz's class at the beginning of the month, she put some in a styrofoam cup and after we colored our leaves and petals with dusts we dipped them into the glaze... Let them dry, and put the flowers together. No muss, no fuss
I've heard that once you use that you're flowers become inedible as it's not a product to use for eating.
Confectioner's Glaze is something they use in bake shops to coat their display pieces to keep them looking nice for a long time.
So be very careful and read your label.
I also thought you could put it on chocolates to make them shiny too, which you would then eat? Am I wrong with this?
Confectioners Glaze - Technical Information
You can also dilute your confectioners glaze with whole grain alcohol or you can purchase confectioners glaze thinner. Yes, I've heard you put it on chocolate to make it shiny.
Ditto everything Briarview said. Except, I don't even bother trying to get the stuff out of my brushes. I stock up on 12 for a dollar brushes and just toss them when I'm finished. Just make sure you do all your work on disposable surfaces (wax paper, paper cups, etc.). And for heaven's sake, DON'T pour the excess down the drain! I just shove a paper towel into my paper cup to absorb the excess and toss it in the trash.
It is absolutely edible. I use it so often, my customers would be dropping like flies if it was dangerous. It's the same stuff candy makers use to add sheen to jelly beans and other candies.
Thanks for all your help. I finally figured it out. I didn;t need to mix it with anything. It worked perfect. You guys are right about the brushes. Oh yeah, and don;t get it on your hands. LOL
The glaze that I have is edible and is used to shine chocolate and candies.
Again, thanks for all the help. My gumpaste doggy turned out nice.
I also thought you could put it on chocolates to make them shiny too, which you would then eat? Am I wrong with this?
Tempering is what makes the chocolates nice and shinny.
I hate to be a bearer of bad news, unless they have changed the formulation on the Confectioner's Glaze, it REALLY isn't edible.
It's used in bakeries to give display pieces a longer display life.
Just be careful, read your lables.
I do know how quickly things change and I've not done a search for Edible Confectioner's Glaze yet.
Just don't buy and use things willy nilly, PROMISE ME!? ok?
Confectioners Glaze - Technical Information
Confectioners Glaze - Technical Information
well back to rearanging things in the shop. ttyl
I use the confectioners glaze on my jolly rancher butterflies (check my pix -- I have two flower pot cakes with those butterflies) -- called stained glass butterflies. It keeps the candy from melting. There's a remover they sell for it as well.

Junkies, the world is a lot different than it was when I attended the Toy Fair for the first time in 2008. Yes, in 2008. Photographers and journalist had to write articles and compose lighting for pictures. All to give you the best representation and details on the latest release. In fact, the following year, one company didn't allow you to take pictures but supplied you with them. Standard press photos are pretty normal, but absolutely no press photos at all would be suicide today. This brings us to our "Top 10 Instagram Posts from Toy Fair 2019". We kept track of every picture we posted on our Instagram with the hashtag #afjtoyfair2019. Why? We wanted to be able to look at what got the Junkies, in our Instagram community excited. What release or announcement spread like wildfire (reposts) and in at least one small way, who won Toy Fair. Enjoy the list, Junkies! #AFJ4LIFE

Our story begins and will end in nature. The beautiful mother nature- what splendor it beholds? What mystery it unfolds? What secrets it holds?
Sabbath midday, I left church to take a stroll to think and wonder about this amazing being who just walked into my life seven days before. Our tale seemed to have ended before it ever even begun. As painful as a mother feels when she looses her fragile newborn in that crispy cold morning just before dawn: I can try and quantify our pains to be of same magnitude!
The ache takes anchor into my heart; as harsh spears arch the aorta of my soul when I fight to hold to her memory. She has an enormous heart she wears on her sleeves. Archives of the tremendous time we shared lingers softly in mine memories as horrendous grief creeps in to render them useless. Though I hold on, I hold fast, I hold firmly- to the times that comprise the fiber that makes my DNA move on with life.
We are believers, her and I. The heavens know this to be so… In another world, I will be called Reeves and she be Peeves, the calling of our names in close proximities will leave the leaves on the trees hush with a serene silence bearing no grieves for what they will perceive is jubilation, an ululation of ecstasy, pleasure.
There is hope for a tree that is cut down, it may sprout again and the tender twigs shoot forth to life. Man born of a woman, few days he has, and his life is full of troubles. He cometh forth as a flower and he is cut down; he also is a shadow that fleeth and continueth not! My days be counted by my Master and Lord, but the few He gifted me to share beside her are a job well done. Some infinities are greater than some… Ours be short as the days of a flower, we be cut down and wither off but you know what is amazing is that, another season is coming again. As a shadow is longest at sunrise, we shall stand tall; even in the adversities as it becomes tall during sunset, we keep going on, cause a new day is just around the corner. For we will begin all over again.
Most religions believe in the afterlife. We made a religion of our own, you and I. And to it, we said we will always be happy beside one another for eons to come. Wherever we will go, we will always make each other feel special. With the Chinese baby girl you so yearned to have as our firstborn. In our world, we will have it all- live on the land between two hills or on top of a hill, Grey walls of our vista vividly seen from ridges afar. We adorn each other on the country life which you seldom dislike, being fashionable in articulate attires even when you be farming.

The "Library Angel" brought your books to my attention -- I think in relation to the dissertation I'm beginning (I'm working on my PhD in Education and will be crossing all boundaries with my research). I've just finished reading "The Three 'Only' Things" and parts of Dreamgates. They're fantastic and explain what's going on in my personal life (a very long story). I even had a dream right in the middle of "The Three 'Only' Things" that proved to be very informative (yes, I had to take a "power" nap/brain break).
Thank you for the work you do. I'm glad you are writing about these things. The whole world can't be "crazy" even if some people may think I am(lol). Education has to be one of the slowest institutions to change and is doing so much harm to so many people.
"Educational Psychology" is a total dinosaur. Synthesizing many perspectives and ontolgies as you have done in your work is a monumental move forward.
And I can't wait to play this fun game with some of my friends and neighbors. I am thinking about starting a dream group.
Thank you,

Dear Vanessa - It's grand to hear your voice. Thanks for your generous spirit and your willingness to follow your dreams. I would love to see dreamwork part of the education system - and of course, education psychology - at all levels. We have a number of educators who've been taking my training as teachers of Active Dreaming and in my dream their influence will grow.

Thank you, Robert, for responding. We share the same dream, then. It is a dream I also share with a beloved author who passed away recently. I want to fulfill his dreams for education, although I could never do what he would have been able to do; he was a true genius. He was not finished with his work. I would like to take part in your training in the future. For now, I hope there is space available in your workshop in Portland, OR in June(I live just 80 miles south of Portland).

Vanessa - I'm sure we have room for you and your many gifts in the Portland workshop next month and I'll look forward to welcoming you into our circle. I'm moved by your account of wanting to complete a friend's work.

Robert-I thought I responded to this, but it seems to have gotten lost in cyberspace. Just want to thank you for the invitation to the June workshop in Portland. I will show up (with check in hand, since I have not heard back from the scheduling person and the date is rapidly approaching). Thank you for the comment about continuing the educational work. Joe was an educational theorist. I will merely be demonstrating some of the ways his brilliant theory can be applied. He had been fascinated with dreams since childhood and he had worked with the Sioux Nation throughout his career. He wanted dreamwork added to education and educational research, which was something he could not emphasize to the extent he had wished, so I am excited to have the opportunity to learn more about your techniques to help make his dreams come true. And it looks like many of us have the same dream! Vanessa
