Yes For Parks Young at Heart and Still Loving Parks! Wed, 12 Apr 2017 15:18:09 +0000 en-US hourly 1 103308644 The Perfect Gentlemen’s Summer Outfit Wed, 12 Apr 2017 15:16:46 +0000 Whats the best outfit for going to the park?

We’ve been talking to the people of London to find out what they consider to be the clothing and accessory items that can not only complete a well-rounded outfit, but make an individual stand out amongst a busy summer park.
We went to London’s Victoria and Hyde park and asked 200 park goers what they considered to be the most important feature of men’s summer fashion. It’s safe to say we received a wide array of answers ranging from what we consider to be the normal expected answer, to well… More bizarre answers such as “toe rings” and “leprechaun hats”.
Although, we’ve decided to list what our top 4 (by number) answers were.

An oxford shirt is perfect for the summer months

Surprising to us, we actually received 20 more answers being specific to oxford shirts over just the general term of “shirts”. We understood why though – with the pastel, clean-look oxford style, you’ll always be looking fresh. The ability to appear smart or casual at any time is the greatest asset of an oxford shirt. Simple put on a tie and change out of your shorts into trousers and you’ll be able to hop from a calm relaxing date in the park to a high end restaurant or business meeting without having to make a pit stop back to your bedroom.

Luxury socks can complete any outfit

Perhaps one of our most surprising feedback from the surveys was that socks was the most frequently received answer.
Socks, who would have guessed it… but after many conversations we grew to realise the importance of a great pair of socks. With companies such as London Sock Company manufacturing unique luxury mens socks for all occasions it’s easy to realise why the popularity of socks place in fashion is increasing. Especially with the switch from trousers to shorts in summer months.

Get the right bag

There’s no point preparing the perfect outfit for a summer outing if you are going to be wearing an unattractive bag to draw the attention away from your efforts. Particularly feedback from females suggests that they think highly of a man who has a good choice in rucksacks. One name of a bag manufacturer which came up frequently was Kånken, who design box shaped, canvas styled bags.

Sunglasses bring out your cool

We expected this to grab the top spot, although sunglasses came to a close second after socks; even though you’d assume that practicality would boost the accessories place to the top stop. Many mentions were pointed to untraditional shapes of glasses, with a lot of feedback stating that the more round shaped glasses are particularly stylish heading into this year’s summer months.
This can be backed with ray bans new range including many rounded styles of glasses over the past favoured and recently popular square shaped frames.
Tell us what you think can complete the perfect outfit for a day in the park!

Best London Parks for Exercise Mon, 06 Jun 2016 10:23:44 +0000 If you are looking to get fitter or lose a bit of weight or even just make sure that you enjoy being outdoors a bit more, then fitting in more exercise into your daily routine can be a great idea. Exercising not only boosts your mood and can improve your health, but you don’t even have to go mad with it.

It may seem difficult squeezing exercise into your day, especially in such a busy and bustling city as London, but you can do it! Why not start off by trying to walk more, and then commit to doing some activity 2 or 3 times a week – that’s not too unreasonable. If you are seeking to lose weight, then a diet plan such as Alevere weight loss method or Slimming World is important too as even if you exercise you won’t lose weight if you consume too much. Another argument people have against exercise is that gyms are expensive; this can be easily overcome as there is no need to join a gym! London is packed with parks, so read on to find out the best ones for exercising!

Richmond Park is the largest of London’s Royal Parks having been created by Charles I in the 17th century as a deer park. A National Nature Reserve right on the edge of London, it is the second largest park in London and covers an impressive 3.69 sq. miles and is a popular destination for Londoners seeking some tranquility of the countryside. It is also popular haunt for cyclists and they don’t have to worry about cars and other vehicles in the packed capital and can enjoy the pleasure of cycling. This is also perfect if you haven’t been on your bike in a while too and it is a safe and beautiful area to cycle through with plenty of wildlife to spot including fallow deer, squirrels and rabbits.

Lee Valley Park is a huge 26 mile long linear park extending from northeast Greater London through Essex and Hertfordshire, and is the largest park in London and is four times the size of Richmond Park. It is the perfect location to get involved in some exercise since the Olympic Park for the 2012 Olympics is contained within the area. Walking, cycling, team sports, angling, boating, camping, horse riding, ice skating, and golf can all be enjoyed within this area, making it a versatile place to enjoy some fresh air and exercise.

Kennington Park is another great park to get fit at, especially since it holds free outdoor fitness classes. Having been a public park since 1954, it is handily located near the Oval Underground Station and is also nearby Vauxhall train station. With a rose garden and lovely green surroundings, it is a wonderful place to work up a sweat. It boasts a rich sporting history too, having been one of the earliest cricket grounds in the city.

Being active and embracing natural sources for food isn’t just great for your personal fitness. It’s also great for your long-term health and well-being. These two things are important for combating the possibility of cancer and other long-term problems later in life. There is lots of great information on how to use exercise and food to combat various different variations of cancer, testicular problems, infertility/fertility and more in males. For more information male fertility treatment and how to combat the potential future problem, have a look at male fertility treatment lua

As we swing into the summertime groove, now is the perfect time to get out there and enjoy some of the beautiful parks in this great city. And also a great opportunity to get fitter and trimmer!

Expensive Homes In The Boroughs Of London Wed, 18 May 2016 13:02:53 +0000 London is known to have the most expensive and plush properties in the UK. Boroughs such as Kensington and Chelsea are attractive for many different reasons. They’re ideal for business commuters as they lie in close proximity to the cities business hub while they offer residents access to top schools, designer shops and unbeatable nightlife. Let’s take a look at some of these properties and find out why the stand out so much.

This 18th century property in Roehampton is finished to the highest specification. It was resorted and is now worth nearly £2 million. The building is unique and eye catching. The three round windows on the top landing gives the home a different character while the pond in the middle of the grounds are a nice centre piece.

Situated in Paddington, this two-bedroom apartment doesn’t come cheap. Once the work space of photographer Cecil Beaton, it will set you back around £1.5 million. The leafy suburb is popular with the rich and famous.

This is a one bedroom flat in Whitehall Court. This sought after building is situated near Whitehall between the renowned Horse Guards Parade and the Thames so no wonder you would need to fork out around £1.5 million for it. The finishings within the property are eye catching. The designer radiators by Trade Radiators modernise the traditional setting while the lights add further contemporary feel to the property.

Located in Chelsea, this one bedroom flat will set you back around £1.3 million.  The cream finishings make it a lovely place to relax and unwind. Other features include a live-in porter and a communal garden.

This new development in Westminster is called The Courthouse which was once the grounds of a magistrates’ court. Close by are the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey so its not surprising the starter price of these apartments are £660,000. The brown decking and open roof space make it a popular place to stay.

Another reason that boroughs such as Chelsea and Kensington are so expensive is due to the fact that they’re so popular. The price for a basic apartment in this area costs around £500 p/w so its a big outlay.

Ths property on Upper Wimpole Street shows the typical living of the top 1% in London. Whether you live in Marylebone, Chelsea, Westminster or Kensington, you’re bound to find a property that is ideally located and finished to the highest standard possible.

Not Your Usual Home Conversion Sun, 13 Mar 2016 16:56:26 +0000 It’s quite common these days to hear about old office buildings and warehouses being converted in to luxury homes, but it’s not the same to see old houses being converted in to a contemporary office building. This one near Spa Fields Park does just that.

This office space is run by high end furniture company Brunner (hence the multi coloured chairs on display by the stairs). The building covers 3 floors and is a mixture of company headquarters and furniture showroom. It’s no wonder every single spare inch seems to have a well designed chair on show.

We’ve also never seen an office building with a front door like this. When you realise though that its the only way to get furniture in and out of the building, you’ll applaud the effort gone in to making it so unique looking.

Open Doors Like Never Before Mon, 15 Sep 2014 10:36:07 +0000 Opening doors to the property ladder can be difficult. And when the door knobs themselves look just as pricey as the rest of an abode, it can add an increase in price that will yield an extremely positive change.

We’ve been looking at these designer knobs by a company called Haute Deco. They are based in London and deal exclusively in making these uniquely shaped and individually hand made pieces for all types of doors. We think they’ll be a great value added bonus for a house because the texture and feeling you’d get when opening a door would cause you to stop and assess what you’d just touched. It’s a great idea to have these if you’re planning on selling on a house and need something that will draw eyes to the parts of the room you normally wouldn’t examine when viewing a property.

The stone handles are the best to an added wow factor, but if you’re based in a house where it is a little more plush and focusses on soft furnishings, a diamond style handle wouldn’t look out of place.

Thanks to Bearwood Dixons lettings office for pointing this house in our direction.

The Best Parks in Greater London Tue, 13 May 2014 15:46:32 +0000 We always talk about the best houses near parks around London, but there are so many more on the outskirts that are perfect for a getaway that we’d thought it would be a great idea to list some of the best. From little parks hidden out of site on the south side of town, to some larger behemoths you could spend a day getting lost in, here are five parks we can certify as being YES material.

Lee Valley Regional Park

Lee Valley Regional Park
Up in Enfield, Lee Valley is a park that spans 10,000 acres. This is an incredible size considering how close it to London. Visit any day of the week and you will be promised an endless list of activities to get all the family involved with. There are *deep breath* an athletics centre, 18 hole golf course, velo park, hockey and tennis centre, ice centre, horse riding centre, white water rafting centre and mariner’s base. Basically, you name an activity and it’s an almost certainty they have a centre for it.

Whippendell Woods
Known for having a gorgeous display of bluebells in the late spring, Whippendell Woods is the perfect spot to go for a leisurely stroll at the weekend, without the crowded feeling you’d get on a common. There are five dedicated walks to follow through and is often noted as being a great place to go for a picnic. Of course if you’re like us and prefer to take the lazier option, there’s an M&S to get some sandwiches from when you get off the train at Watford Station.

Black Park Country Park

Black Park Country Park
The biggest park in Buckinghamshire country, Black Park is the ideal spot to go if you prefer a lengthy run or bike about. with dedicated routes that are suitable for anyone in to a bit of off road action. It’s also a good location to do some fishing for free. Head down at the weekend and you’ll usually see people sailing their own model boats too.

Chenies Manor
Get a bit of history under your belt with a visit to Chenies Manor. It’s a Tudor estate with a massive manor and well maintained gardens which have won numerous awards over the years. To see the esate though will mean getting your wallet out. Entrance to the house and gardens costs £7 for an adult and £4 for a child. It also has very slective opening hours so make sure to check online before attempting to visit.

splash park

Bexley Splash Park
It mightn’t be as far out as the other parks we’ve mentioned, but it is a godsend when you have the combination of a hot summer day and kids to keep cooled down. The splash park is a free park with a the largest free wet play area in the country with water jets, showers, bubble jets, tipping bucket and water cannons to tire the little ones out. Just remember to pack sunscreen if you’re visiting!

Now with some of these parks being on the outer reaches of town, it takes more than your Oyster card to get there, so make sure you have the right train ticket without having to pay too much on the day by booking ahead online. You’d be surprised how much you can save by simply searching your journey out online.

Victorian House With A Twist Wed, 26 Feb 2014 10:25:58 +0000 There’s a new trend in London in renovating houses, but keeping the façade the same. Walk down many streets with Victorian housing and you’ll see the same outer shell. Take a trip further back though and you’ll encounter houses like this one in Hackney.

Walk through the front door and you’ll come across a hallway that leads you down in a home with more than one surprise as you walk in to the open plan kitchen area. With curves drawing the eye in every direction, its a home where contemporary design brings about intrigue as to what every room has to offer.

And every room is clearly defined.The lounges and bedroom are punctuated with rugs and throws to add a sense of warmth and welcoming (just look at the old fireplace place in the study). The work room keeps the house foundations bare and doesn’t bother with decorating the walls to indicate a space where function takes place over fashion.

Overall, you’re left with a home that is inviting as well as inventive in how it has redefined the space it inhibits.

In the specific case of coffee recipes, this means, first, a list of all ingredients, and the other a most concise instructions for preparation. Basic ingredients of a recipe for coffee are usually freshly brewed coffee or espresso, and milk or cream. To recipe or taste can be used as additional ingredients, for example, different spirits like rum, tequila, vodka and coffee liqueur like Mary or Tia Kahlua.

Here, the diversity and creativity with regard to the enjoyment of coffee are no limits. Through trial and error most varied coffees can be extended not only his horizons in terms of preparation techniques and flavors, but coffee consumption allows immersed in foreign cultures and this “first hand” witness. Meeting at the end examples of this include the Cafe Mexico, which, characterized by the flavors of Kahluas, tequila and shortened the time until the next holiday in Mexico in the most pleasant. Or it was the Pharisees, when their consumption is dipped into the rough and stormy world of North Friesland. It should however be observed in every recipe that this only as an aid in the preparation of, in this case, is specialty coffee. Thus, it is expressly permitted by the recipe and cooking tricks to new creations to expand and thus make the perfect recipe for themselves.

Another Saturday of rest before the big bang of Sunday

wyldayre cover hedderPAPPY'S AYRE LAWG

Once again its Saturday, as such I’m awake tending to duty in the studio.

As I watched some idiotic TV show for youth that’s bible based I wondered, fine with the bible teaching, but how much of that can be absorbed by a 10 years or under youth?

Second, they did a thing on the Civil War, yes our great intrusion into the south of the northern Yankees. The piece was filled with all the Yankee bullstuff about that war being of slavery and racism. Enough with this the big war was based on the northern oppression of the north on southern states. Something that is happening all over the nation by the way, no matter what end of it you hail from. Didn’t we tell ya’ll this at the church?

Then came a slight blurb about Trucker Buddy, a program of education, getting kids around big trucks, and doing things like learning geography, math and such. Great but what I hate is this and it goes right to the core of the entire club. Both the Knytes-of-Anarchy and the AyreWolvez started as or in a group of young heavy freight haulers, called the TeenAge Truckers Association 4-H club. should we not be given credit here for something WE STARTED , FIRST !!!! As such , like that wonderful group of young farmers called the Future Farmers of America, the club along with our parent organization the United American Independent Truckers Association, is going to reignite the TTA, as the Future Truckers Association. Watch for more on that on Dixie Diesel Trucker TV.

By the same idea, how about a thing for young aviation enthusiasts. Sure EAA has something called the Young Eagles, but chapters are not wide spread, and EAA’s budget is a bit leaner due to having to pay for Tower control at airshows. the FAA says uncle Obama ain’t paying for that any more.

So the AyreWolvez are looking into something along the lines of the Young Wolvez, or Wolf-Pup’s Association. Bringing kids together to the interests of flying both light sport ex aircraft as well as our treasured Warbyrds and Helicopters. Watch for more on that on WyldAyre TV.

Now before I I get off here, got a blurb, from a renowned nose art graphics artist who will be in our area in mid August, to do custom old style lady cladded graphics on aircraft. So in that, we really need to unpack our bags here and dig up honeys for money to model for this guy. Which is something I’m going out to do Monday, likewise get in touch with the mall here to see if we can do a precasting and such gig, for Miss AyreWolf and the SheWolvez. Yes this is a delicate thing, I don’t like it and yes I’ll put out some noise on this to some agencies, but lets see if we can find some new blood.

Any mile need to get dressed , fetch snuff, and grub, and get things together so I can snooze to be in your ears overnight on HazzardAyre. On that WyldAyre Radio returns in October, as we’re working on a new place studio wise in both Jerome and here in Twin Falls.

L8R Aviators.

How to build a Desktop Word Clock (in a morning)

Cost: $100, Time: 2-4 Hours, Difficulty: Easy, Tools: Laser Cutter, 3D printer

Thanks to the modern maker tool suite, it is getting easier and easier to make topnotch builds very quickly.  In the process of revamping ClockTHREEjr, we decided to prototype and test the matrix driving circuitry.  A few short years ago (in the ClockTHREEjr era) addressable LEDs were not a thing yet.  A large array needed to be displayed one column (or row) at a time before moving to the next column (or row).  This makes the circuit and programming logic very complex.  Smart addressable LEDs (like the APA102), with a microchip in each piecepart, make all of that complexity obsolete.  With only 2 pins from a microcontroller, these pixels can be commanded to set and hold any 24-bit color as long as power is maintained.  This frees up the processor to do other things, like poll user interfaces and read subreddits.

So the task is to redesign the ClockTHREEjr board using these modern smart LEDs.  ClockTHREEjr  (C3jr) has 8 rows and 16 columns of dumb LEDs, which can upgraded to smart pixels using 2 ULTiM8x8 (no solder) LED panels.  What was originally just a proof of concept turned out to be so cool we decided to show it off and make the design public.

Once you have purchased the Bill of Materials (BoM), you can make this clock in a morning.  Once you get your 3D printer started on the baffle (.5-3 hours depending on printer and settings), you can move over to your laser cutter to make the front and back of the clock (1 hour).  Give yourself 30 minutes for final assembly and 30 minutes to program, even though neither takes that much time.  That means you can make this project in 4 hours with plenty of margin.  This project is a slam dunk.

  1. Print baffle
  2. Lasercut faceplate
  3. Program Feather Huzzah
  4. Assemble

1. Print baffle

Since the baffle is not really visible in the assembled clock, it can be printed very quickly with large layer heights.  Kevin Osborn was able to get the print time down to 25 minutes using a 1mm nozzle   With the .4mm nozzle you can go up to .2mm layers.  The rule of thumb is to make the layer height no more than 1/2 nozzle width. You can go higher, but this tends to get layer separation (theoretically you could do 1x nozzle width layers).

Glue the velum to the font of the baffle and trim away excess velum.

2. Lasercut faceplate and backplate

The faceplate is etched on the backside.  The black letters are to be etched and the red lines are cut. Take your time here.  You may need to slow the etching speed down or make more than one pass to remove all of the opaque material.  There are several choices on the material.  Black is by far the most popular but Inventables (see bill of materials) offers several color choices.  The mirrored acrylic also works well.  For a super glossy finish, use spray-painted acrylic with at least four coats of paint, the last coat being in black.  Let dry completely between layers.

3. Program Feather Huzzah

Pre-requests: Install Arduino, Feather Huzzah dev env, adafruit IO account.

  1. Download the code from GitHub.
  2. Set sketchbook folder: KlokTHREEjr->arduino
  3. Create libraries/credentials/credentials.h
  4. Open arduino/DesKlok_IO/Desklok_IO.ino
  5. Board: Feather Huzzah
  6. Select port
  7. Upload

Download the code from github.  You can either download the zip file or clone the repository.  The stable code for this clock is stored in DesKlok_IO.  The _IO in the name refers to the fact that we are using the Adafruit_IO library for controlling the clock. We will configure our IO controls after we upload the program to the Feather Huzzah.

Every WyoLum repository comes complete with all of the libraries you need installed in the “arduino/libraries” directory.  Point your arduino->preferences->sketchbook directory to your downloaded KlokTHREEjr/arduino/   (On my system it’s “/Users/justin/code/KlokTHREEjr/arduino”).

Next we need to put wifi and credentials into a file called credentials.h.  Open libraries/credentials/README and fill out your ssid, password and IO credentials.

// Create a file called "credentials.h" that has ssid and pass as shown.
// This file should not be added to your public repository

char ssid[] = "YOUR_WIFI_SSID"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "YOUR_SSID_PASS"; // your network password
char* password = pass;

/************************* Setup***************************/
#define IO_SERVER ""
#define IO_SERVERPORT 8883
#define IO_KEY "___YOUR_IO_KEY______" //copy paste AIO key

Finally restart Arduino.  If the path is set correctly, you will see a few Klok sample programs in the File->Sketchbook menu.  Open “DesKlok” from File->Skechbook->DesKlok.  Select the “Feather Huzzah” board from the Tools->Board menu.  Plug in your Feather Huzzah into an available USB port and select that port from the Tools->port menu in Arduino.  Finally upload the code. setup

IO allows us to leave off the tedious physical interface and go with a purely virtual interface.  To control the DesKlok, you will need to set up  You will need to create three feeds on io.adafruit: klok_brightness (0 to 50), klok_display_idx (0,1,2), and Timezone1 (-720 to 720),  klok_brightness.

After you create the feeds, add dashboard to hold them. I used three slider-bars with the above limits.

4. Assemble

Make sure you test the electronics before you assemble the clock.  Every time I build the clock without testing, I realize I forgot to solder the power jumper.

  1. Prepare bus
  2. Solder header and power jumper
  3. Test
  4. Final assembly

1. Prepare bus

The bus can hold one, two or three ultim8x8s.  Since we are using only two UlTiM8x8s, we need to remove some tabs from the bus as shown.

2. Solder headers and power jumper

Solder the female headers onto the bus board and the male headers to the Feather Huzzah.

Solder the included small switch to the bus or solder the center pad of the power jumper to the USB side.

3. Test

Plug the Feather Huzzah programed earlier into the bus.  Start arduino and open the serial monitor.  If all goes well (connect to wifi, and Adafruit IO) seconds will start ticking off.   Once you see the time in the serial monitor, your LED panel should be lit (shown below with baffles and velum).

4. Final assembly.

What can go wrong?

  • Forget to solder jumper switch
  • Light leakage.– mask holes in ULTiM8x8
  • Wrong ULTiM8x8 orientation (double check 5V and ground rails)

Use thin (1.66mm) m3 nuts to attach low profile screws to each of two ULTiM8x8 boards. Mask the holes around the edge to prevent light leakage.

Attach bus board, paying close attention that the 5V and ground rails align with the LED panels.  Use 12 M3 nuts in the middle and 4 standoffs (20mm) in the corners.

Attach the faceplate and backplates and you are done.  The space between the faceplate and backplate is exactly 30mm.  This can be filled a number of ways: 30mm standoff (preferred), 20mm standoff + 10mm spacer shown below (need longer M3 screws),  20mm and 10mm standoff (10mm standoffs come with ULTiM8x8).

On Willful Ignorance [or Age of Unreason]

[We take a departure from open hardware to discuss a dangerous trend in society]

I’m confused.  How in the world did we get here?  The war on science, reason, and logic has not seen this much success since the dark ages.  Four in ten Americans reject evolution and many politicians deny climate change.  The relentless fusillade on expertise has taken its toll and it is now open season on observation itself.   Now we are told the truth doesn’t even matter.

oh… and by the way…. the Earth is flat (like your head).  I know this goes against what you’ve been taught, but let’s dig a little deeper and suppress the initial reaction to reject the claim immediately.  We can approach this scientifically and make observations that will either support or reject the claim.

In case you missed it, the Flat Earth Society suggests that the Earth is a flat disk with the North pole as its center and an ice wall near Antarctica preventing us from falling off.  According to this theory, the sun is about 35 miles across and is suspended 3000 miles above the disk, completing one revolution per day around a circle centered 3000 miles above the North Pole.  The seasons are caused by the changing radius of the circular path of the sun.

The image below shows in grey, the path the sun makes over the course of a year.  Black diamond shows my point of observation outside Washington D.C.

We now have a scientific test we can apply to the Flat Earth conjecture.  I’ve computed the elevation angle of the sun from my vantage point over the course of a year.  Elevation angle is the angle of an object made by the horizon, the observer, and the object in the vertical plane.  Below, the elevation angle is plotted vs azimuth.

They used to say “the sun never sets on the British Empire” well according to the Flat Earth society, the sun never sets on D.C. either!  According to this model, the sun should NEVER go beneath the horizon.  This contradicts the fact that we can observe the sun elevation angle reaching zero (when the sun sets). In fact, I should never witness the sun dip below 10 degrees elevation.  Indeed there is no place on earth where the sun sets according to the Flat Earth Society.  Can you please make an observation for me?  If you’ve seen a sunset in your life, can you please state the time and location in the comments?  Better yet, please post any photographic proof of your observation!  Its citizen science in action.

A cult is an organization that asks you to reject your own observations and adhere to another explanation on faith.  The Flat Earth Society is only one example.  Crowd size is anorther. Denying Russian collusion is another.  The question is why? and why now?  As with any cult, there is power in deception.  After the truth is cast out, a cult leader can fill the void with whatever he wants.

Science, not indignation, is the cure for ignorance: hypothesis, observe, conclude.

How people fall into believing the Flat Earth model.

Lada to the rescue!!

Something else I’ve been working on for a while, in collaboration with another far more talented hobbyist (Grahame Marsh – are Open Source CRT clocks and a CRT Tester. When confronted with the job of making a nice case for the CRT Tester, it occurred to me to use the wonderful Lada idea from Justin ( Grahame, took the idea further and tweaked the Lada to integrate PCB holding and case construction in one piece! Hence the following gadget became a reality…

For more details of the Lada modifications or if you’re interested in an Open Source CRT tester, or even a Scope Clock then check out Grahame’s website or feel free to contact me for more information!

C3Jr 3D Printed Stand

It’s been a while….

Having played with 3D printers for a bit now, I thought it would be a good idea to elevate my C3Jr clock a little and make a stand for it. I recently put together a Prusa i3 MK2 printer from a kit, and it’s Open Source at its best! To break it in, I used it to make the stand! This would help with not only keeping the clock more secure (if it’s a desktop clock) but also add a little flair to the C3Jr. It’s nothing too fancy, but I think it turned out OK. The print was a 50% honeycomb infill to give it some strength and the STL file will be available on our GitHub in the usual place. Enjoy! Any questions, then shoot us an email.

VeloKey: A post mortem

VeloKey is a Keyboard for your bike.  I know.  I know what you are going to ask: “Why do you need a keyboard for your bike?”  Well, I guess you don’t.  This is the story of a failed project.  We break down why and how this project failed in hopes to learn from the experience.

First let me remind you why we thought VeloKey might have made a viable product.

Project goals:  Many people ride bikes indoors for hours at a time.  They use a computer to: run a training program (virtual world), watch videos, browse the web, and read email.  These activities could be made easier with a cycling specific computer interface.

A full QWERTY keyboard would be too cumbersome to operate while you are pumping out the Watts, so we simplified the interface to three scroll wheels, a display, and a few buttons.  If you need to author your manifesto, then by all means use a different interface.  VeloKey is meant for typing the first few characters of a web address, not a dissertation.

  • Wireless — you don’t want to be burdened with cords on the bike.  VeloKey uses the Bluetooth HID interface.
  • Full Keyboard — Letters, numbers, symbols, arrow keys
  • Full Mouse — Works like an etch-a-sketch, left/right clicks
  • Display — Select keys, change modes.
  • Magnetic handlebar mount — Allows rider to remove the VeloKey, and use with both hands.

Project design:

  • Open source hardware — Like all of our designs this was important to us.  We are empowered by open hardware, and we will always publish our designs in the hope that others find them useful.
  • Off the shelf open hardware components — This really sped up development time.
  • High quality scroll wheels — this subtle clicking of these wheels are addictive like popping bubble wrap.
  • Custom back plane — Anool whipped up the board that ties the circuit together.
  • 3D printed case — Snap together, magnetic base, Garmin quarter turn mount

The design is centered around the Feather M0.  This M0 has plenty of program memory if you are used to programming AVR 328s found in the Arduino Unos.  Its a fantastic little ship with multiple hardware serial ports, can act as an HID keyboard and mouse (which backs up the Bluetooth) and is well documented.

We used an arduino pro mini to provide guaranteed encoder readings.  Kevin did have some luck reading the encoders directly from the M0, but never all three at the same time and also not with background tasking.  Using the Pro-Mini was a quick and rely able way to implement the encoders.  The Pro-Mini is connected to the M0 via a serial link.

The EZKey module provides the Bluetooth HID interface so that VeloKey does not require any software modifications on the host computer.  The EZKey is connected to the M0 via a serial link.

The software was developed using Arduino.  Upon startup, VeloKey launches into a software defined default mode (typically mouse mode).  Scrolling the middle wheel allows you to change modes from mouse, to keyboard, to program, to movie.  Modes are defined in an extensible object oriented manor so that VeloKey will play nicely with community defined modes.  The Pro-Mini translates encoder events into serial events and sends them to the M0 where the events are handled.

The beginning of an extensible API was created to test VeloKey as a gaming platform.  A few basic sprites and widgets were defined and the API was used to create Pong and Asteroids.

Cause of death: Lack of interest.

The main reason VeloKey Failed was negative feedback from three sources.  First, the local bike shop said that “VeloKey” solved a non-existent problem.  A virtual training company rejected hardware in favor of their phone app. And finally, a beta tester said that it was too distracting.  Three strikes and VeloKey is out.

Contributing technical factors:

If it weren’t for these technical factors, we’d probably still pursue a crowd funding campaign.  After all we have a lot of effort invested in VeloKey.  Before we launched, we’d have to solve this technical issues and that would take more investment of time that we felt would not pay returns.

  1. Feather M0 lock-ups.  Frequently the M0 locks up especially when interfacing with the Bluetooth module.
  2. Flaky Bluetooth.  Several beta testers had trouble pairing the Bluetooth on Windows and Mac.
  3. Draining battery.  The Feather M0 has no way to shut off current completely.  This meant that VeloKey could not be left on the bike, but would need to stay on the charger between uses.

Other uses?

VeloKey or something like it may be useful as a mobile computer interface, or game platform.  We tested it out with Pong and Asteroids.  The update rate was a little on the slow side for any graphic intensive games.

Sylvantha The Darklands

Sylvantha the Darklands

Roughly fifteen miles North of the borders of Wyrmspire, there's a region known collectively to outsiders as the “Darklands”. It's actual name is Sylvantha (Sil-vahn-tha). Formerly a small kingdom, Sylvantha's royal family died off during a plague and after a period of civil unrest, the kingdom degenerated – or evolved depending on who you asked – into a collection of close villages and towns that govern themselves as small city states or pay homage to local lords or rulers that provide protection and authority over their communities.

Sylvantha gained the nickname “Darklands” from outsiders due to it being plagued by a series of unfortunate events over he past several centuries, including but not limited to an actual plague that wiped out much of their population, and it historically being a place where strange monsters and cults lurk in its wild expanses.

Deadpool #51

I'm gonna have to rush a bit here as I've got work tomorrow and would like to at least get the rough drafts for tomorrow's comic books typed up... Yeah, so the introduction for this issue sucks... What can ya do?

Deadpool #51:

Summary: Deadpool's wacky, convoluted plans continue here as X-Force battles the Hand, since X-Force believed Kingpin had the serum that could negate Deadpool's healing factor, while Kingpin wanted to get his hands on the serum... Oh yeah, and X-Force and Kingpin both think the serum could negate any mutant power... Meanwhile, Daken is also looking for the serum, since he was led to believe(by Deadpool) that it could negate healing factors, which meant he could use it to kill his hated father, Wolverine. As for who actually has the serum? Tombstone. After nearly getting into a gang war with Kingpin set up by, you guessed it, Deadpool, Tombstone decides to head to the lab to get the last remaining vial of the anti-Deadpool serum before things got too hot. Unfortunately for Tombstone, Daken had been eavesdropping on his business and beats him to the warehouse, burning it down and presumably taking the serum. Meanwhile, Deadpool has gambled that if anybody was savvy enough to get his hands on the serum it would be Daken, so he tells X-Force to find the serum while he deals with Daken, since the two wouldn't be able to kill each other due to their healing factors... Not realizing what Deadpool was up to(or that Daken most likely HAD the serum), Wolverine sends Deadpool after Daken, and possibly his death.

Thoughts: This comic was ALLLL over the place, but in a good sort of way. There was a lot to follow, what with all of the plans Deadpool has put into motion, and if I'm being honest, all of those various plans did hurt my enjoyment of this one just a bit. I mean I loved how clever Deadpool ended up looking coming out of this one, but between Kingpin, the Hand, Typhoid Mary the various X-Force members, Hydra Bob, Deadpool himself, Tombstone, Daken, Spider-Man(yep, he was here too!), and some assorted hitmen and gangsters, this issue was a bit hard to follow from time to time... That's not to say I'm not enjoying the story, and that I didn't love the fact that the ending should set up Pool vs Daken, to the death(!), but I didn't enjoy this issue as much as I enjoyed the previous one.

Score: 7 1/2 out of 10.
deadpool #51
Deadpool vs Daken next issue? You KNOW I'm there!

  1. I commented on IGN that a more or less objective reviewer would have given this a seven or eight. They gave it a five. No way this is a five out of ten.

    Considering that this is part 2 of 5, it could have been much worse.

  2. Huh, I don't get why they'd give this comic a five, but everybody is entitled to their own opinions... But I personally thought this was a nice, solid issue that sets the stage for the events to come.

  3. My thing is, this issue dealt mostly with getting the plot squared away. Everyone complains about how 'Deadpool' has no plot, then when it has a plot, they complain about that. Not about the quality of the plot, but that it's there. Deadpool isn't all farts, lolipops and sunshine.

    On that note, Deadpool is slowly darkening. Maybe even becoming unhinged?

  4. HA! That just proves that you can never make everybody happy. Like you said, this issue is setting up the events that will be coming up. It was many a set-up issue, and I for one enjoyed it.

9,675 finished NaNoWriMo

I was happy to hear that NaNo raised the money it wanted to raise for the libraries in Laos project AND out of over 64,000 participants, 9,675 finished with 50,000 words or more. It was cool too because a woman started a small press for NaNo people to submit for publication. That was cool. I will be submitting my work there first.
ONce I have it edited a bit.

You may want to consider publishing with They have a good reputation among bloggers - I know two who have published books with them and have only praise.
I want to see if I can actually submit a manuscript and have it accepted first, but Lulu is under consideration too since I know that it's the type of manuscript that might not be easy to move any other way. So we'll see. I mean if I can sell it that is the preferable option. I come from a generation where self-publishing was a fairly low-status way of getting into print. We'll see what happens.

the party's over, but not in a good way

I'm screwed.

I can't afford to pay my bills. My inlaws offered to help me, but even that isn't enough.

I'm running all the options through my head- what if I cancel the cell phone, the cable, the long distance... transfer a credit card balance... put my student loan in forebearance... I have no idea. I really have no idea.

LauraC said...

I'm so sorry to hear this! I wonder if there is a BBC board where people can help you find options, like if you qualify for services or if an attorney can help you. This sucks!

Hi. I'm not sure if you have TIAA CREF or another 403b or 401K. I read that you are a librarian. Usually retirement plans give loans against funds while still allowing you to earn money on your investment. Check it out. It will all work out. I follow your blog and it sparks a lot of good ideas for me.

Good luck, Jenn

Examination tips and techniques

Handling Test Anxiety

Many people are anxious and suffer from stress before and during an examination. They may even make simple errors that are not typical of their usual behavior. People who take licensing exams often experience greater stress due to a need to succeed because the results will determine whether or not they will be able to enter their chosen field. It is therefore important to prepare yourself emotionally to take your license exam.

Part of being prepared emotionally is for you to be able to recognize the symptoms of stress and anxiety. Stress is often strong enough to lead to increased heart rate, shortness of breath, trembling hands, shaking legs, nausea, sweating, etc. Test anxiety and worry lead to a series of negative results including poor concentration, confusion, negative attitudes or moods, negative self-orientation, fear, anger, and even panic.

Often a person develops poor coping strategies such as becoming involved in negative self talk. A common psychological defense against these negative feelings and thoughts is giving up and becoming helpless or paralyzed during a test. The ability to perform well under pressure, however, is a skill that you can learn. Several strategies for overcoming test anxiety follow.

Adequate Preparation

The major factor involved in test anxiety is a lack of preparation. Most test-anxious people have poor study habits and have not prepared adequately for the test. They then attribute their poor performance to a lack of ability or capacity to perform.

Take an objective look at your approaches to studying. If you are lacking in good study habits, you may want to take a study skills training course. Set realistic study goals with ample time for quality learning and repetition. One rule of thumb is that for each hour of class time, study one or two hours at home.

Often the test situation, the examination room, the large number of candidates, and being watched by the person giving the exam intimidates candidates. It is important for you to feel comfortable and relaxed in the testing situation.

Knowledge about taking exams helps people relax during the actual exam. Keep information about the date, time, and duration of the exam in mind.

The method of progressive relaxation involves tensing a muscle system and then relaxing it. Tensing a muscle will produce increased relaxation when the muscle is subsequently relaxed. Start at one end of the body and work to the other end. Practice every day for 10 to 15 minutes until you gain the increased ability to relax at will.

Alternately tense and stretch various muscles in your body. Concentrate on the difference in being tense and being relaxed. Tense your whole body, and then relax your whole body. Practice every day until you notice the gradual improvement in your ability to relax. This will give you confidence and the ability to relax when you take the exam.

Another method is to breathe deeply and slowly, letting your body go limp and allowing every muscle in your body to relax while you concentrate on your breathing. Start with your hands. Imagine them to be warn and heavy. Repeat to yourself "my hands are warm and heavy" several times. Maintain a slow, patterned breath rhythm. Progress to the arms, then the shoulders, and continue until you relax your whole body. Do this 5-10 minutes a day. Look into other, different methods of relaxation. Many books about relaxation techniques are available.

Avoid Negative Thinking

Test-anxious people tend to be preoccupied with themselves. They concentrate on their negative thoughts and feeling instead of concentrating on solving problems or answering test questions. The way to cope with this is to monitor your thinking. When you hear yourself talking negatively, be aware of it. Stop talking negatively and start positive self-talk.

Son has been practicing Christmas musical...when we got home tonight from practice he says...

"Did you know we were singing one of the songs in "Aladdin"?
"No, what's that?
"Miss Jennifer said it was a different language like we talk in English, some people talk in Spanish.  Well this song is written in Aladdin."

...I finally realized that Miss Jennifer told him they were singing "a latin" song...

Company Picnic

Today was my company picnic.  It's at a local "family friendly" business.  The kids can ride go carts, bumper cars, bowling, skating, laser tag, mini golf, and play video games.  It's always alot of fun for everyone!  At the end of the day, they draw for door prizes.  My son does not want to "sit around" for an hour to see if we'll win anything so this year I allowed him to go in and play video games WITHOUT me around.  My company had given each employee tokens to play video games so he had plenty of tokens...BIG MISTAKE....I was not aware that he had taken his wallet with him...After the drawing was over I went in and found him putting tokens into a game...he had WAY more "tickets" from the video games than my tokens would allow...
I asked, "where did you get all these tokens?"..
He said, "Oh mom, when you put twenty into that machine over there, it gives you a bunch of tokens!  Just look at all I've got!!
I said, "When you put twenty what?  What have you done?"
"Mom, I have my money!  I put a $20 into that machine and it gave me a bunch of tokens!  When you put a $5 in, it only gives you about 10 tokens but when you put in $20 you can just play and play! (said VERY PROUDLY with a big happy grin)

We are now the proud owners of a whoopie cushion, a squishy ball, and a rotating Disco ball.  He thought for $30, he got a great deal!

Parent Teacher Conference

Before attending tonight's parent-teacher conference, I asked my son, "What do you think your teacher is going to tell me about you?"

"She'll say I'm a good boy but that I sure do LOVE to talk!"

Needless to say, there were no surprises:)

Disney Vacation - Part 2

Part 2 of our vacation

Walking through Magic Kingdom, we saw a woman in a black/white pin-stripped dress, with 4-inch spike heals and several bracelets on her wrist....son says, "Mom, I don't think that woman has ever been to an amusement park before!"

We were about to ride Aerosmith's Rockin' Roller Coaster and son was reading the warning signs.  He read..."Women should not ride" and got upset because he thought I would not be able to ride with him....he missed the first word in the warning..."Expectant"

After riding Aerosmith's Rockin'Roller Coaster..."Mom, I don't think I'll ever be the same!"

After riding Aerosmith's Rockin Roller Coaster for the 3rd time..."Man, I never want to leave this place!"

After riding Tower of Terror..."Whew!  I think I'm awake now!"

At Fantasmic, they were selling "mohawk light-up hair"...."Mom, can I get a light-up hair cut?"

My son participated in a show we attended where, Crush, the turtle from Nemo, talked to all the kids.  After the show, son says "Can you believe no one asked for my autograph after my performance?"

"If anybody pooted in here, nobody would know who did it."

Going through the haunted mansion..."Is that real dust or fake dust?"

As we enter Animal Kingdom..."I bet we have a wild time here!"

One of the games Disney likes for kids to do is to find "Mickey ears" through out the park....son thought that was boring...He enjoyed looking for speakers that they hid in the flowers through out the parks.

"I thought Disney was a kid place...can you believe they sell Bud Light in here!"

Going through a vegetation exhibit at Epcot...they explained how they grow plants in sand and/or water...."My dad should try that...he grows everything in dirt!"

"Mom, what country is Disney in?
"Son, It's in the United States."
"No for real...what country is Disney in?
"I told you the US!"
"Well ok but nobody here speaks English!"

"I didn't know so many countries could be in one place!"
     Translation - Disney is very diverse and people from all over the country come to visit.

"These people say words that are not even words."
     Translation - I can't understand what anyone is saying.

By the end of the week, we met a family from our home state of TN.
     "Mom, they are some country people!"

By the end of the week, he wanted to talk "jibberish" and wanted me to guess what language he was speaking.   (No disrespect was meant....he was just fascinated by the sounds/words he had heard all week.)

At our resort, we saw a couple of midgets.  He said, "Did you know that midgets were really adults that are just short  people?  (He wanted to make sure I was in the know.)

While at Animal Kingdon, we went to "Africa" and watched men play drums and dance.
      He said, "I think I might be a dancer when I grow up...I got the groove and the moves!"
      "Mom, I've never seen anyone that OLD dance like that!  He's really good!"

Going on a safari at Animal Kingdom he says, "I think that elephant is real cause it kept blinking its eyes but the snakes were fake cause I could tell they were plastic."

Going through Haunted House at Magic Kingdom he says, "Is that fake dust or real dust?"
When we rode the Tower of Terror at Universal Studios, Santa rode with us.  We think he was the "real" Santa but he had lost alot of weight so we're not sure.

After 12 hours at Magic Kingdom..."Mom, I think I'm too tired to swim tonight!"

Watching the monkey's at Animal Kingdom...."I wish I was a monkey!  All they have to do is play or sleep!

By Friday he said...."Will you PLEASE rent a stroller for me!  I'm soooo tired of walking!"

Arriving at airport on Saturday morning to go home:  "Mom, can we fastpass through security?"

"I sure have had fun this week.  I wish Disney was closer to our house so we could go any time we wanted to."

Disney Vacation - Part 1

Airplane Ride...

"What if it rains when we're in the plane....(thinks to himself for a moment)...well I guess we'll just be high in dry!"

"Son, are you excited about your first plane ride?"  With a big 'ole grin...YES!!

"What are clouds made of?  Some look like cotton and sometimes is looks like snow. "
"If we jumped out of this plane could we jump on the clouds?"

"Look at that (on the plane) looks like a tube of lipstick!"

"When we're this high all the houses look alike....nobody's house looks bigger than their neighbors..."
Son was somewhat nervous about plane ride.  One our way to Orlando, we sat by a TNA wrestler.  He was a super nice guy and once he realized that my son was a huge wrestling fan invited us to Universal Studios for one of the tapings during our stay.  Talking about "making dreams come true" for one 9 yr old fellow....all smiles...
Meeting Characters
Goofy - "Is that really your first name?"
Tiger - He was soooo excited and nervous about meeting Tiger...when Tiger walked over, Clay got up to have his pic taken with him...when he stood up, he knocked over his drink and food and water went everywhere....No one seemed to care...we took pic and moved on...
Cinderella - "I hope she makes it home by mid-night!"
Minnie Mouse - "She sure does have some big feet!"

Pop Century Resort

"Mom, look at these little garbage cans they put in our room!"

"I just want to ride the elevators so I can push the buttons!"
"I wish I had a chair like this in my room at home!"

Below are some of his saying regarding his birthday:

Son:  "I know mom!  Seems like I should only be about 4 yrs old."

"I think I'm gonna get me a white ford limo to drive to school on my 16th birthday."

Mom:  "What do you want for your Birthday supper?  Chilli or ribs?"
Son:  "I'm not sure....I'll sleep on it and let you know in the morning."

"I'm soooo excited about my birthday!  I think I could talk about it forever!"

"You member when you asked me if I felt like I was 9 and I said not really....well since I got a phone I feel like I'm 10!'

White Shirt Day

At 6:30 am this morning while getting the kids ready for school....

"Mom, I NEED a white shirt to wear to school today!"  (I had already ironed his 'Friday school shirt')
"No son, you can wear your school shirt today because it's Friday."
"No, I have to have a white shirt today cause I'm in a play today."
"What?!  What play?
"Yeah, I have to be 'snow' so I have to wear white."
"So, do you have any lines?"
"Yeah, I say, "When the sun shines on me I melt away and here it comes!"

...I ironed the white shirt for him...

How to Use Internet Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a growing venture on the internet. Many have found a great deal of success by applying the steps found in this guide to improve their comprehension of affiliate marketing and how to use it most effectively. Find out more about this exciting prospect and increase your personal income.
One thing to beware of using affiliate marketing programs is alienating your customers. Make certain the services and products offered by your affiliates are ethical and give good value for clients’ money. Nothing will poison the opinion of a visitor to a site faster than directing them to a scam. Conversely, helping a visitor find a product he or she is interested in can make them appreciate your site.
Affiliate marketing and SEO go hand in hand; you can’t have one without the other. Once you join an affiliate marketing program, determine the best keywords that will drive potential buyers to your website. Making your site easy to find and highly related to the product you’re marketing, will translate into more click-throughs and more conversions.
Be upfront with your readers and tell them you use affiliate marketing. Their response will more likely be positive. Being honest will provide you an advantage, in spite of affiliate marketing. Your site visitors will respond well if they understand the service you are providing: you are giving them great connections to pursue something that they desire. Understanding that will make them want to use your own links.
Affiliates that are a good match for your goods and your company is going to be the most useful.

Enrolling with different affiliate programs will provide you with many sources of revenue. Thoroughly investigate the reputation and past performance of any affiliate before signing on the dotted line.
Do not expect immediate results. While some products will immediately begin bringing in sales, others take some time. Your return readers will help to build your sales gradually and this in turn, brings you the cash from the business you work for. This isn’t an immediate turn around, but patience can help it pay off in the end.
Proper affiliate advertising will take a lot of research on your part, but that doesn’t mean it has to be tedious. Because of viral video sites like YouTube and Dailymotion, simply to name a couple, now you can take a look at entertaining tutorials that aren’t only entertaining but can also be two-for-one opportunities, as they tell you how to do something and reveal.
Understand that this isn’t a get rich quick program and it’ll take some time to develop a program. The initial time to get a program started may seem slow but keep in mind that this will end up being passive income. If you do the legwork on the front end, you may continue making money for years.
Post reviews about your product or service on your website. Testimonials help to build confidence, since they tend to help alleviate risk for a prospective buyer. When a potential client reads of another individual’s successes with your product, they’ll be apt to envision themselves in that person’s shoes and become more likely to make the purchase.
Give careful consideration before linking to products on your site. As soon as you’ve discovered the ideal formula for organizing links to affiliates on your site, you’ll see the monetary results more regularly.
As the article has shown, you have the ability to become a successful affiliate marketer. If you apply these suggestions to your own affiliate marketing venture, you will make sure to see terrific results. You deserve the awesome benefits that knowing and applying affiliate marketing can bring to your personal finances.

Jasper Speaks:

Oh yeah. I had a pretty amazing day yesterday. School went very well and so did church.I thought someone else was going to bring the message last night and that fell through so I was up with little preparation. I got together the message I had planned for NEXT week and was set to go. Then God spoke. He laid it heavy on my heart that the students there needed to hear something else. I was freaked because I like to stick to my schedule and God literally said, "Toss what you have. I have other business to take care of tonight". So I did. During the worship time God just gave me a series of verses that themed together said "You Need To Embrace Who You Are In Christ". I took the platform and let God do the speaking. It was a surreal experience for me. It may not have been as polished as I would have liked, but God DID have something else to say. Here is a brief outline:

I. God Chose You
"God demonstrated His own love for us in this, while were were still sinners Christ died for us". -Romans 5:8

God chose to send Christ here. He chose to die for you even before you knew you needed Him. He saw something amazing about you, just the way you are that made Him chose to come to earth and die for you.

II. Jesus (God's gift to us) Purchased You
"You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men." 1 Corinthians 7:23

This passage comes in a discussion of marriage. This is a great picture of Christ and the church. Christ chose you like a groom chooses the perfect bride. Then He paid the ultimate price for you. Again, He saw something special about you that was worth giving up everything for you.

III. Jesus Sees Something In You That The World Can't See
"But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7

That God who chose you and purchased you with an ultimate price, sees in you something the world can't see. He looks at the heart of who you are and he looked there and said, "this person is worthy of my love --- worthy not because of anything more than they are one whom I have created in my own image".

"For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake." 1 Peter 1:18-20

Seeing something in you that the world can't see, Christ knew that you could only be bought with something the world couldn't afford. More than gold or silver, God offered His life to redeem you. Dying for someone is hard for me to imagine but God thought you were so special he would give Himself up for you. The world cannot purchase what it cannot see.

IV. God Is With You For The Long Haul
"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus". Philippians 1:6

The moment you asked Christ into your life God began a work in you that is unique and special to who you are. The same God that chose to come and die for you, to purchase you with the greatest price because He sees in you something the world can't, has started something amazing in your life and he is going to stick it out with you. You see he loves you the way you are but he loves you too much to leave you that way. He has a special plan for you and he will make it happen all the way to completion. Why?

"The mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." Colossians 1:26-27

The reason he is in this for the long haul is that he does see in you an amazing thing --- Christ in you, the hope of glory. That is the most amazing thing in the world. He wants us to take that Christ in us and show the hope of glory to the world. We need to work until God is done. In you is the hope of the world and he wants you to show that hope to a world where there is seems to be none. You are totally incredible in his eyes.

Chosen. Purchased. Different. Not Alone. Glorified.

Pretty cool.

It is amazing that God literally put that together in like 12 minutes. He is amazing!

I feel good!
