These fears, uncertainties and doubts are quite reasonable.  As
Andreas mentioned [1] and I alluded to [2], in the U.S. (at least) you
can not be sure how a seemingly clear license (much less a complex
one, like the LGPL) will actually be applied until it actually is.  In
court.  Your personal (and unqualified!) interpretation means
absolutely nothing, so I would appreciate it if you would stop talking
as if this is somehow a solved issue.  You could cause some
unsuspecting individual to put themselves at risk of litigation.

The test harness is primarily in CVS:

pbjam:~/w3ccvs/WWW/2001/sw/grddl-wg connolly$ cat CVS/Root
pbjam:~/w3ccvs/WWW/2001/sw/grddl-wg connolly$ cat CVS/Repository

Though just yesterday I made an hg repository copy at
http://homer.w3.org:8123/ ;
it's not automatically sync'd when commits are made to the CVS

It's just the GRDDL.py sample implementation that is primarily in hg.

yes. The repo that's not found is the local one, not the remote one.
I should perhaps report this as an hg issue.

  hg clone http://homer.w3.org:8000/grddl-hg my-grddl-hg

which is step 2 in the hg QuickStart

I'm not sure it's really worth writing a HOWTO for the 4 or 5
test suite contributors, but I suppose it can't hurt.

Maybe put it near "How to run the tests" in

First of all, I'm glad that the discussion about using Metadata in
Mediawiki is happening; that's a very interesting email thread to follow.

One thing that came up immediately is that a big factor for the
complexity of the additional markup is the choice of the vocabulary. If
you can use a vocabulary optimized for your use case then you won't have
to mix terms from different ones. But this is true for both Microdata
and RDFa, so it appears it would be good to consider these orthogonal

That being said, and coming back to the main topic of *this* thread -
here's a mail that may be relevant to the question how the HTML WG
should treat Microdata:

Did you consider for a moment that all this is merely a result of the

Since an empty element tag is the same as a start-tag followed
immediately by the matching end-tag, it seems to me that a
property like

means the same as

which means that "" is the value of the xx:foo property; as
you say, "" is a Literal like any other.  If the empty string is

On my reading, it does *not* omit it; the content of E contains no XML
markup, and is the empty string.

I think this result is a bug: the object of the triple should be simply ''.

Which is equivalent to the empty tag "<test:noValue/>", per clause 3.1
of the XML Recommendation.

Well, the current spec text says (a) and (b) do the same thing, so
I'm not sure that comparing them is useful; if you want to think of
the processing model in terms of expansion and conversion of
property values (which is probably not the best idea), you go
through both stages:  the shorthand expands to all four of its
subproperties (so it's like b), but then one of those subproperties
is ignored (so it's like a) because it's overridden by a later

Your idea is that people expected to have tooltips because they read the
MAY in "the user-agent MAY display tooltips" as a MUST, and ergo that
the same thing will happen to the copyright thing. I think that people
expected tooltips because they're used to having tooltips in their web
browser. So I don't think that the current text will create false

Implementators that want people to put SVG content on the Web at large
(and who here doesn't) are encouraged to display the copyright or at
least a warning that the file may be copyrighted when the user views the
source because we've had feedback from graphic artists that while
they've grown used to publishing low quality rasters on the Web they're
concerned that with the high quality provided by SVG people might steal
their work. Displaying something, even if just a generic warning when
some CC data is detected, is likely to assuage such concerns.

And yes there are still issues with CC, but I think you'll agree that
it's better to point to them and to expect them to fix those issues than
to ask the SVG WG to come up with a workable copyrighting system :)

10 Sex Scandals That Shocked Medieval Europe

Alex Hanton

Medieval Europe was theoretically pretty conservative on sex. One 13th-century bishop even put out a list ranking the five known sexual positions from least to most sinful. (If you’re curious: missionary, side-by-side, sitting, standing, and “dorsal.”) But just like any other era, the medieval period still had its share of sex scandals.

10Abelard And Heloise

Photo credit: Jean Vignaud

In the early 12th century, Peter Abelard was the most famous philosopher in Europe. Huge crowds turned out to hear him speak, while students paid him handsomely to act as their tutor. He courted scandal when he started sleeping with one of his students, the beautiful and brilliant Heloise.

Heloise was the niece of Fulbert, canon of Notre Dame and Abelard’s landlord, who was enraged when he discovered the illicit affair. Fulbert demanded that the couple get married. Neither was keen, but they agreed so long as the marriage was kept secret. But after Heloise gave birth to a son named Astrolabe, Fulbert revealed the marriage—only for Heloise to publicly deny it. Fulbert was furious.

Abelard sent Heloise to safety in a nunnery, which only annoyed Fulbert more. In 1117, a group of men burst into Abelard’s bedroom and brutally castrated him. He survived to become a monk and remained in contact with Heloise.

9Katherina Hetzeldorfer

In the late 1400s, an unmarried young man moved to the city of Speyer in Germany. He soon developed a reputation as a real rogue, conducting several affairs and groping women during the carnival. Nobody cared until 1477, when it was revealed that the philandering youth was actually a woman named Katherina Hetzeldorfer.

According to the trial records, Katherina had built herself a prosthetic penis “half as big as an arm . . . with a red piece of leather, at the front filled with cotton, and a wooden stick stuck into it.” She used this to have sex with several women, all of whom insisted at trial that they had no idea it wasn’t real. Katherine’s one-night-stand Else Muter even claimed that it somehow produced “semen . . . beyond measure.”

Katherina was drowned in the local river. The court accepted that her lovers had been hoodwinked, and they were sentenced to exile rather than death.

8The Swedish King And His Sister-In-Law

Photo via Wikimedia

Princess Jutta was the daughter of King Eric IV of Denmark. As a young woman, she was placed in a cloister, where she was expected to live out the rest of her life as a nun. Instead, she staged a daring escape to Sweden.

Jutta was welcomed by her sister Sophia, who was married to King Valdemar of Sweden. Unfortunately, Valdemar started a passionate affair with the beautiful Jutta. They even had a child together. Soon, all Sweden was in an uproar with rumors that the king was cheating on his wife with her own sister.

Valdemar eventually had to make a pilgrimage to Rome to beg the Pope for forgiveness. It wasn’t the PR triumph he had hoped since the Pope imposed a hefty fine. The Swedes were furious that they had to cough up extra taxes for this, and Valdemar was quickly overthrown by his brothers.

7The Naughty Nuns Of Littlemore

Photo credit: Ancient Origins

In 1517, the local bishop decided to inspect Littlemore Priory in Oxfordshire, England, and uncovered the scandalous behavior of the nuns living there. Apparently, the sisters “romped and played with boys in the cloister.”

Even the prioress had an illegitimate daughter by a priest from Kent. To make matters worse, she had stolen church property to give her daughter a dowry, selling off the nunnery’s “candilsticks, basynes, shetts, pelous, federe bedds, etc.”

The nuns weren’t particularly repentant. In fact, when one was put in the stocks as punishment, three others broke down the door and freed her. The four nuns then set fire to the stocks and smashed their way out through a window.

Such immoral behavior couldn’t be tolerated, and the nunnery was eventually shut down on the orders of Cardinal Wolsey.

6The Pervy Pope

Photo credit: ABC News

John XII became Pope when he was just 18, entirely thanks to his powerful family. The teenager rapidly proved himself more interested in sex than religion, to the point that his official palace came to resemble a brothel. It was said that local monks actually stopped praying for his health and started praying for him to die.

Before long, the scandal had spread across Europe. The Holy Roman Emperor wrote to warn that “not just a few, but all . . . have accused you of homicide, perjury, sacrilege, [and] incest with some of your female relatives and two sisters.”

John died in AD 964, apparently while making love to a woman named Stefanetta. Some accounts say that he had a stroke from the exertion, while others say that Stefanetta’s jealous husband burst into the room and threw the Pope out the window.

5William The Conqueror

Photo credit:

These days, William I of England is best known as William the Conqueror. But in his own lifetime, he was often derisively referred to as “William the Bastard” or “William the Tanner.” That’s because he was born from a teenage tryst between Duke Robert of Normandy and a tanner’s daughter from Falaise.

Since Robert never had other sons, William was legitimized, but the scandal of his birth continued to haunt him. When he besieged Alencon, the citizens dangled animal skins from the walls and shouted, “Hides, hides for the tanner! Plenty of work for the tanner!” An enraged William fired a bunch of their severed hands from a catapult.

William’s descendants had more of a sense of humor about the whole thing. Henry II was stitching a torn glove when a bishop shouted that he looked just like his relatives in Falaise, prompting Henry to “burst unto uncontrollable laughter.”

4The Demon-Kings Of England

Photo credit: Stephencdickson

Henry II had an even more disconcerting story in his ancestry. While his mother was William the Conqueror’s granddaughter, his father was Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou. The family had a reputation for cruelty, and it was said that they were descended from a demon.

According to the story, one of the early counts married the mysterious beauty Melusine but noticed that she always slipped out of church before the Eucharist. One day, he stood on her cloak to prevent her from leaving. As soon as the priest raised the Host, Melusine screamed, sprouted wings, and flew out the window, leaving behind two of her demon babies.

Of course, nobody buys that story nowadays, but the Plantagenets loved it. Both Henry and Richard the Lionheart often joked about being half-demon. Meanwhile, Bernard of Clairvaux summed up popular opinion of the family by declaring “from the Devil they came and to the Devil they will return.”

3The King, His Son, His Wife, And Her Brother

Photo credit:

A more realistic scandal involved Henry, his son Richard the Lionheart, and Princess Alys of France. Alys and Richard had been betrothed as children, and Alys was sent to live with Henry when she was nine. But even when Alys passed the age of 16, Henry declined to actually let Richard marry her. Soon, sensational rumors leaked out that Henry had taken her for his own mistress.

The Pope threatened to excommunicate Henry’s whole kingdom unless he let Richard and Alys wed. King Louis of France demanded either a marriage or his daughter back. Henry begrudgingly agreed but didn’t name a date and continued to drag his feet for the next decade.

To make things even messier, some historians have suggested that Richard was having sex with Alys’s brother Phillip. In any case, Richard refused to marry Alys after his father died, alleging that she had already given birth to his half-brother.

2Heretical Spooning

In the late medieval period, the Church became increasingly worried about heretics, who were encouraged to admit to all sorts of disturbing sex acts on top of their religious crimes. In a famous case, a German heretic named Lepzet confessed that his sect met in a cave, where their bishop would insert the handle of a silver spoon into his anus and use it to hold an offering.

Then the congregation would kiss the bishop’s buttocks and a cat’s rectum before having an orgy—“men with men and women with women.” The confession was considered extremely shocking, although some killjoy historians suggest that Lepzet was probably making the whole thing up.

1Machiavelli, Da Vinci, And The Holes Of Truth

Photo credit: Santi di Tito

In the 1400s, the rulers of Florence placed several boxes known as “holes of truth” around the city. Citizens could write anonymous accusations and place them in the boxes to be investigated by the authorities.

It was a recipe for innuendo and rumormongering. Even Niccolo Machiavelli had to deny sodomizing a local courtesan known as La Riccia. He was presumably lying since he mentioned in a letter that La Riccia jokingly called him her “house pest” because he visited so often.

But the biggest scandal came in 1476 when multiple notes were left accusing Leonardo da Vinci and three other local notables of regularly having sex with a 17-year-old named Jacopo Saltarelli.

Soon all Florence was abuzz, and the artist found himself hauled in for questioning by the Officers of the Night, who weren’t nearly as cool as their name suggests. Fortunately, the charges were eventually dropped without damaging Leonardo’s career too much.

What a great place. You might want to get in touch with Robinson Brothers guide service in Appalachiacola. They seem to be the most notable outfit, and catch alot of reds and trout in the bay and rivers. There may even be some Tarpon still around there out by Alligator point. Something like Appalachicola is a great little old town, 15 minutes away. St. Joe Bay is a good place to wade, I am told.
Hope you have a good trip,

December to Remember

It's already December 2016, which means it's almost 7 years I've owned this blog. Not that I'm fully active here anymore but oh well.. it holds like seriously so much memories here! I always have fun re-reading my older posts and I can't wait to write more.

But I'm getting so busy!!! WHYYYY...

Oh well, it's a good thing, but I kinda wished I have more time to spend for myself... mmm~

Since December is here, this year's almost gone by... I can't believe it omg! -__-" I'm almost 28 aaahh...

So many things happened this year, one of the biggest one is one of my closest friend passed away. He was seriously living his life in a fast lane. And totally living his life to the fullest. I always love hanging out with him because I always do something new or meet new people or found new food to eat. He's like totally adventurous and talented and creative and friendly that he has friends literally every single where!

I cried so hard when he passed, partly because I regretted not spending more time with him when he was sick. The last time I met him, he was already unconscious I'm not sure he knew I was there. And most of the time, since we spent so many times hanging out together, I forgot that he's no longer around. Sometimes I find a new restaurant and thinking "Oh! I should tell him about this, I think he'll love it!" and then I realize that I can't do that anymore. That he's not only gone travelling for a couple of months or even years, he's gone and not coming back ever and that's really hard to accept but I've come to embrace it now, I think.

I can now talk about him without getting teary-eyed, and I can remember him in everything.

And this really taught me to live my life to the fullest. And to never take any relationship for granted. I tried contacting all my old friends, catching up with them and hanging out with them. Sometimes it's awkward, but most of the times, it's not :)

So I kinda miss him right now, but I think I'm good. I will remember to always pray for him and everyone around me.

Guess I have to prepare myself for 2017 now? Hehe..

Jun 26, 2015

Life Lately

I'm still aliveeeee! Hehe... Just have to say it, I mean like.. ehehe... Sorry I kinda disappeared but.. eh, you know... life happens and I just kinda leave my laptop in the office (everyday) so I couldn't update but other than that yeah... I was just... lazy.. :p

Anyway, I'm back now! Kkkk~ this is like the 1972836463 times I am back lol... sooooo uh.. what's up? Hehe.. anyone miss me? :3 no? uhm... okay.. lol...

SO I've moved to (back) to Yogyakarta, which is practically my hometown and got a pretty cute nice job here. I mean, so far, it's not as boring as what I did before, lol. And I love that I got to connect to people more, I get to meet more people too. So I guess, drawing as a job isn't really for me. I mean, I love doing it as a hobby but I don't want to do it as an obligation, it makes drawing feel more boring and losing the fun part.

Now about my life here, I've surprisingly started drawing even more now that it is not my job (lol). I use it as an escape, so I'm not doing the same thing all the time :3 you get what I mean?

Life's been good, I enjoy my job, I love my free time, I made new friends, so yeah~ life's good!

And guess who's coming to Korea again this Halloween? Yay! LOL. This time I'll go there with my mom and brother! LOL xD seriously, though... I just thought this year I don't want to explore alone, so I contacted my list of friends and ask them but eeeh... I guess it's just too sudden (yeah, I love doing spontaneous stuff soo..) and then I remembered my brother and he agreed, and I told my mom asking for permission and she was like "I wanna join too!" lol... so there we go..

I've been looking for a decent place to stay and try to make a decent itinerary (since I never had one). LOL, this is kinda new, I imagine things will be quite hectic since mommy is included but I guess it'll be more fun, too! xD

Mar 11, 2015

Marching On

March is my birth month, and it has proven itself to be mine to march on. After everything and all the drama (that hasn't quite ended yet, but no worry, nothing is too dramatic anyway).

So I've finally gotten (two!) job offers, and I have yet to make a decision. Both companies are really different, and I still have to do some more interviews, while I've been accepted in the other company. Another huge difference is that one locates in my hometown, while another is in Jakarta, the huge huge city. Also, one is a small start-up company while the other is a big fast moving customer goods company.

The next interview in the big(ger) will be held next week, and I am honestly unsure of what I want. The possibility of working in this huge company in a huge city where it's hard to commute anywhere because, let's face it, Jakarta is the no.1 city with worst traffic jam in the world. Scary enough?

While Yogyakarta, my hometown, despite being not-so-huge, is a totally homey place (like of course, it's my hometown anyway. You know, it has this traditional flavor, but still steadily following the trend and  whatever is popular right now. In fact, it has gotten more crowded the last few years (but of course, nothing compares to Jakarta).

Anyway, let's just cross fingers for the best, since the future is always so unsure I've decided to take one step at a time and enjoy everything in the progress, the point is, I am finally free from my current (soon-to-be previous) company. Hoho! I still have to gather up my courage to give the resignation letter (today!), to my manager, though. I've talked about it to my supervisor and now is the time for the manager.

In another note, my birthday is coming in FOUR days, gosh! I'm really getting old! And I will celebrate my birthday in the paradise island! Yes yes, Bali here I come! YAY! Apparently, I take marching on kinda literally this year. Let's go!

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.-Khalil Gibran

To Enjoy my Time

I've ranted enough about how I feel pretty uncomfortable with my job and being in my office all day. So here's what I do to somehow aid the boredom... yes, of course, drawing~

I've been in love with drawing some big haired girls, I just love making the swirly hair, honestly. Hehe... And I've been thinking of what I could make out of these pictures. Maybe print it and make some cushion cover or something.

made it on my post-it note. Hehe..
not sure if I like it better with colors, what do you think?
Also, I've been in love with watercolor. Been doodling and everything using watercolor. You can say I've done some experiment. Sadly, I can't do this in my office. Anyway, did it on my free time on the weekends or after office hours is over. Sometimes I'm too tired to even think but some other time I'm feeling pretty much inspired. So yeah~

Uhm, excuse my ugly handwriting, and messy typography. It's just that I love writing motivational message, it seems. I haven't tried to create something more like a painting, I've just been doodling here and there, um~

to plan a trip

Hello, dear lovelies!

Well, I've decided that instead of feeling blue, I will simply try my darndest to find a new fun job and keep being happy with land what little friends I have around me (including you, of course!). Well, sad to say that I haven't gotten a new, happier place to work, but at least I'm coping quite well. Not that I'm getting myself used to the uncomfortable place, rather, I channel my energy to focus on more positive things to pass the day, at least this way my days pass rather happily.

Also, to take a breath (and skip working, lol) once in a while when I feel like everything's too stuffy. Hehe~ not sure if it's a good thing to do but so far so good and I've done my job quite well so nobody complaints so yeah.

Anyway, I read somewhere yesterday on how to make yourself happier. Other than the famous "being thankful" and "smile to strangers" there is a quite new point, that is "to plan a trip". Why yes, that's exactly what's been making me happier these days, haha...

I've been lusting to go on a trip again, like gosh seriously, it's time to go out and about again! I need to jump in water and breathe fresh air and play in the sand and do some serious shopping spree and meet new people and eat delicious random food and have a random conversation and make new friends, alright?

So what I've been doing is seriously staring at my computer looking for the cheapest way possible to go to Thailand, because... I don't know, this year, it's time for Thailand (and maybe Japan)! And instead of the flashy Bangkok, I'm thinking of a more quiet Krabi, with all them beaches and yummy seafood... yeah yeah, sounds pretty nice, right? Now if only I can find the best price to go there. Well, it isn't really super-duper-expensive-I-can't-afford-it, it's just that I've seen my friends bought a far cheaper tickets so I'm kinda curious (and challenged) to find it too, lol.

See, something as simple as planning a trip is making me far happier than my last post, right? ;)

Papabubble, an edgy artisanal sweets shop on Broome Street in the southern fringes of Nolita, is the lone American outpost of an inventive confectionery that originated in Barcelona in 1992. It now has a dozen branches around the world, including in Amsterdam, Brussels, Tokyo, and Moscow. In each, the candy is hand rolled, stretched, and sculpted in house, an elaborate process akin to making Venetian latticino glass and resulting in some of the world’s tastiest sweeties (we especially like the lime chili pepper flavor). For more information, visit Papabubble (and for ideas for recreating the look in your own kitchen, go to Steal This Look: Pappabubble-Inspired Kitchen ). Photography by Seth Smoot , styling by Kendra Smoot for Remodelista. Above: The recessed lab area features vessels filled with custom-mixed candy flavorings. One of the owners' favorite sources for oils and natural essences is the Canadian company New Directions . Above: The tiny storefront is designed to resemble a science laboratory.

Present Perfect Part 03a

Oh no! I've lost my keys! This is a sentence I say all too often, perhaps I should wear them around my neck.
But why do we say "I've lost my keys" and not just "I lost my keys"?

Well, because although I lost my keys in the past it has an effect now - I can't open the door to my flat!

And what's the difference between "Sarah's gone to Paris" and "Sarah's been to Paris"?

This is the third (and final!) way we use the Present Perfect and you can watch a lesson here:

Have a look at these pictures and, using the Present Perfect, describe what you see...

(possible) answers: He's broken his arm/a tree has fallen on the car/you've burnt the toast!/we've run out of petrol/they've won the cup/he's broken a window/they've bought a new home.

You can download a free worksheet with many more exercises (with answers) here:

Daughter of the Sorcerer King

Daughter of the Sorcerer King by Shereen Verdam
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Genre: Fantasy
Length: Short story
Heat: Sweet
Rating: 4.5 books
Reviewed by Peony

Samara is furious when her father, the Sorcerer King, advocates a boy from a foreign kingdom as his successor simply because three witches foretold the event. Then the king asks her to escort the child safely back to his realm. If that were not bad enough, as if Samara were incapable of discharging the distasteful duty, he insists a knight accompany them on the journey home. But when a grieving dragon steals the child, Samara is afraid her father will never forgive her this mistake, or worse, think she had intended the boy harm. Desperate to rescue her charge, she turns to her too-amorous knight-escort for help.

I was captivated by the first lines of “Daughter of the Sorcerer King.” With an opening of mysticism and intrigue, and set in a wonderful castle, this story drew this reader in and held my interest until the last dragon had been taken care of. And I say that loosely, because the author is very clever about taking care of dragons in this story!

Well written and filled with vivid details, this is a tale of a woman’s journey toward her destiny—despite that destiny having taken an unexpected twist. The characters in this story sparkle. Samara is brave and intelligent, Jack honest and courageous and Sir Hugh is all anyone would think a man in his position should be. While this is very short, it is very good. Highly entertaining! Castles, dragons and adventure, all in one small, sweet package.

Best Juice Bars In Los AngelesTo juice or not to juice is something health-conscious consumers ponder at one time or another. While there are many health benefits to juicing (detoxification, energy, vitamins, weight loss), what usually holds people back is the taste. Veteran juicers aren’t fazed by a garlic/sprouts/broccoli/lemon smoothie, nor do they have to hold their noses when they chug a kale/grapefruit/spinach/radish concoction. If you’re a novice juicer, or somewhere in the middle, and taste is still an issue, these five LA juice bars will help you find the right combo for your body and your taste buds.

This retrospective exhibition of Argentinean/Spanish artist, Esteban Lisa, marks the first time his abstract works have been shown in a museum in the United States. Although small, his works are subtly beautiful, from the restrained gradations of abstract form and color of the 1930s paintings, to the surprisingly vivid explosions of color marks across the pages from the 1950s to 1970s.

      The Fundraiser Gala evening includes the finest in Argentinean culture. Beginning with a cocktail reception, silent auction and hors d’oeuvres followed by a sit-down dinner for members, collectors, corporate sponsors and donors in the Balboa Events Center and special entertainment throughout the evening by internationally acclaimed Tango dancers. The Wave, MOLAA’s 1st Exhibition Fund Auction will also take place during the Gala.

Cruel Ghost Legend (Found Japanese Horror Film; 1968)

(Redirected from Cruel Ghost Legend (1968 Japanese Horror Film))

Advertisement poster for the film.
VHS cover for the 1990 Japanese release.

Many of Japan's 1960s and 1970s horror movies have, more or less, a reputation for being surreal, artistic, and well-crafted. While many (including Jigoku, Kuroneko, Kwaidan, and Onibaba) have gained steady cult followings thanks to remastered releases from companies like Criterion, some others (like Tatsumi Kumashiro's 1979 reimagining of Jigoku) remain elusive, sometimes only available with subtitles absent. One that seems to have faded into obscurity since its 1968 theatrical showings is Kazuo Hase's Cruel Ghost Legend.

Very little is known about the film, aside from a plot synopsis (which states that the film is about a blood curse that leads to "numerous bloody deaths, incest, a ghostly manifestation, and ultimately suicide") and two posters. The film, if uncovered, would likely be of interest to fans of early splatter movies (as 1960's Jigoku is agreed to be the first true cinematic gorefest, even predating 1963's Blood Feast, which is commonly regarded as the first of it's kind in the United States).

A second hand VHS copy was recently located on, (for a whopping 15,000 yen, which equals $122), proving that, while rare, an official VHS release did indeed eventually occur (in 1990).[1] However, until such a time that a philanthropic owner of one of said VHS copies provides a rip of the tape, it remains one of those highly-priced rarities that fall just out of reach.

UPDATE 07 Mar '14: Cruel Ghost Legend has been found! Huge thanks to an online acquaintance of mine (who wishes to remain anonymous) for tracking down a VHS copy of the film, ripping and subsequently providing it to me! The film is unsubtitled as of this point in time, but I have managed to track down a user who is willing to transcribe it for us if we are able to raise a bounty of 200GB upload credit on said website (more details to come later, along with the uncompressed 6GB source file).

Alvar Hanso as featured in the segmented video as part of The Lost Experience. Also known by the fan nickname "Mr. Beardy", given before it was known that he was Alvar Hanso

The Sri Lanka Video is a central part of the alternate reality game The Lost Experience. The game proceeded by gradually providing glyphs that each revealed a short video fragment of a longer sequence numbering 70 in total.

According to the game, Rachel Blake shot this video while in Sri Lanka in mid-July 2006. She claimed that the information revealed is so damaging that "it will tear the Hanso Foundation apart." She deemed it too risky to reveal in its entirety, so she chose to distribute fragments hidden throughout the internet, and accessed via clues and glyphs. Players were required to locate codes to enter on the website, and each code revealed its accompanying video fragment. However the fragments were not revealed in the correct order, so needed to be sequenced. The final fragment was revealed on September 8, 2006.

For an individual description of each of the 70 segments of the video, see: Sri Lanka Video/by segment
HansoExposed 9 8 70 Fragments - Complete06:27

HansoExposed 9 8 70 Fragments - Complete

The video comes in two parts. In the first half, Alvar Hanso explains the DHARMA Initiative in a secret internal film. The revelation of the meaning of the Numbers was promised as part of TLE, and is contained in this half. Hanso explains their research is intended to save the world. He provides history of the motivation, explaining that after the Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States and U.S.S.R., via the U.N. Security Council, commissioned the calculation of the Valenzetti Equation, spearheaded by Italian mathematician Enzo Valenzetti, which is claimed to compute the time remaining until the human race destroys itself. The Numbers are revealed to be the "core environmental and human factors" in the equation. Hanso claims that humanity may be saved by changing these numbers through various environmental manipulations. He also reveals that the island was used as a research station to attempt such a manipulation to change the numbers.

The second half of the video appears to be clandestinely-filmed footage filmed by Rachel Blake of Thomas Mittelwerk explaining a "radical" Hanso Foundation intervention project to his staff. He begins speaking as the Orientation Film finishes playing on a television monitor; it seems that this video is the one seen in the first half, above, despite its much steadier and clearer video quality. Mittelwerk explains that two villages have been intentionally infected with a Hanso-engineered virus, and that the Hanso Foundation's cover story is to provide a treatment vaccine. He reveals that their goals include a mortality rate no higher or lower than exactly 30%, as well as testing of the deceased to confirm genetic targets of their virus. In response to a question from the audience, he justifies the human cost of the operation in terms of saving humanity. There appears to be a splice missing from the clip, then Mittelwerk notices Rachel Blake's hidden position and she appears to be near capture as the video ends. However she must have escaped, or have been released, according to the timeline of the game, her appearance at Comic-Con 2006 and the distribution of the video via The Lost Experience.

A new DHARMA logo was shown in the Sri Lanka Video

The producers of Lost promised that The Lost Experience would reveal new information, including the meaning of the numbers. In brief, some of the concrete knowledge that was revealed by the Sri Lanka Video include:

  1. The Numbers are revealed to have been core factors of an equation (The Valenzetti Equation) predicting the end of humanity. Running the equation, the end result has been the same for the last 30 years, those numbers. Mittelwerk comments that they still have no idea what the numbers actually mean.
  2. There exists a DHARMA Initiative radio tower which broadcasts the Numbers on the Island.
  3. Alvar Hanso and the DHARMA Initiative claim to be attempting to save humanity. The DHARMA Initiative was also set up to primarily work on the Valenzetti equation.

Part 1
[Music plays]
© 1975 The Hanso Foundation * ORIENTATION *

Alvar Hanso:
I'm Alvar Hanso. If you are watching this film, you already know and have worked with Gerald and Karen DeGroot, founders and masterminds of the DHARMA Initiative.

By now, you also know there are many research goals for our joint venture. What you may not know, is why we have assembled the DHARMA Initiative, why we have assembled the greatest minds in the world and given them unlimited funds and access.

As with all you've already been told, you are bound by your honor and commitment to keep what you are about to hear a secret.

In a few weeks, after your induction counseling and survival training, you and your colleagues will be shipped to a top secret facil[ity...]
The precise location of the facility is known only to myself, the DeGroots, and the few high ranking members of my organization. Why all the security, all the secrecy? The answer is simple: Your research is intended to do nothing less than save the world as we know it.

In 1962, only thirteen years ago, the world came to the brink of nuclear war. The United States and the Soviet Union almost fulfilled the promise of mutual assured destruction. A promise they continue to foster through a destructive Cold War. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, both nations decided to find a solution. The result was the Valenzetti Equation. Commissioned under the highest secrecy, through the U.N. Security Council, the equation is the brainchild of the Italian mathematician Enzo Valenzetti. It predicts the exact number of years and months until humanity extinguishes itself. Whether through nuclear fire, chemical and biological warfare, conventional warfare, pandemic, over-population... The results are chilling, and attention must be paid...

Valenzetti gave numerical values to the core environmental and human factors in his equation: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42. Only by manipulating the environment, by finding scientific solutions to our problems we will be able to change those core factors, and give humanity a chance to survive. Although the equation has been buried by those who commissioned it [STATIC] panic. It has always been my belief that we ignore warnings at our own peril; and thus, the DHARMA Initiative was born.

DHARMA is an acronym for Department of Heuristics and Research on Material Applications. It also stands for the one true way. [STATIC] ...and through your research, you will help human... [STATIC].

We have constructed several stations on the island, underground laboratories with the facilities you will need to do your research, with optimal expediency...all of the support you will need, including regular medicine and food drops will be made in perpetuity.

A radio transmitter has also been erected on the island broadcasting in a frequency and encryption known only to us. The transmitter will only broadcast the core numerical values of the Valenzetti Equation. When, through your research, you manage to change the numerical value of any one of these factors, when you have created through science the [inaudible] ... We will know that the one true way has been found.

That is the work to which you have committed yourself. Change the core values of the Valenzetti Equation, and you will change the course of destiny. The fate of the human race is in your hands.

Thank you and namaste.

Part 2 [The end of Part 1 is displayed on a television monitor next to a man in a white labcoat who is standing in front of a small audience.]

Thomas Mittelwerk:
We all know what happened - the DHARMA Initiative failed and in spite of every effort of the Foundation, we are gripped in the tyranny of those six numbers.
We have tried to change those values by manipulating the environment in many, many ways. We have done our level best, and yet this inscrutable equation keeps bringing us back to the numbers. So now, we have to take radical action and I just want to tell all of you, that I trust you to do what is best.

The villages of Fallam and Vetul-Milani have allowed us to test our vaccine on them. They think they are infected by a virus carried by local macaques and they believe we are bringing them the cure, so when you go in, you have to keep up the story. You know it by heart, don't waver. When the deaths begin you must comfort everyone with compassion and empathy then the bodies of the dead must be brought to the station immediately for full genetic work-up. We must make absolute certain we are hitting precise genetic targets we have engineered into the virus.

The optimal mortality rate is 30 percent. Our operatives at the Vik Institute have verified this figure. If more or less people succumb, we have failed. We need not take any more lives than is absolutely necessary.

Scientist #1:
[Raises hand]
But Tom, these are people, innocent human beings, and we're just-

If you knew, with mathematical certainty, that you could end all famine, war, and poverty, what would you do? Exactly, you'd find the best way to get it done - precisely, surgically, without allowing for any more suffering than is absolutely necessary. (Sigh)

It is not fair that innocents have to die so that we can perfect this virus but I promise you, someone is going to hell...

Is there something... reflecting... in the back?

Rachel Blake:
Oh God!

Somebody grab her!

Hey! Hey! Get her!
(incomprehensible shouting)

No! Get off me! Get off! No!

Scientist #2:
We got her.

Get off me! No! It's-

  • Sri Lanka is a country off the southern coast of the Indian subcontinent. An island nation in South Asia, it was until 1972 known as Ceylon. It has also been a center of the Buddhist religion and culture from ancient times and is one of the few remaining abodes of Buddhism in South Asia. it is full of lush tropical forests, white beaches and diverse landscape throughout along with a rich biodiversity. The country lays claim to a long and colorful history of over three thousand years, having one of the longest documented histories in the world.
  • In Lost:Via Domus, Elliott reads a newspaper which says that a chemical nerve has been stolen from Hanso Foundation labs located in Sri Lanka, Sabaragamuwa province.

▣ August 17th ▣ {not quite quiet enough}

17th August 2010
This is my lounge as of today. The fireplace has always been a bit higgledy piggledy raggle taggle gypsy O and I was using a chimenera from the garden as a stove which is dangerous and inefficient. I wouldn't advise it unless you fancy half the fire brigade stomping through your lounge.
(hmmm, second thoughts anyone?)

I longed for a new stove and had my nose pressed up against the stove shop window for most of the last four winters. And then I spun off into an extravaganza whirl and bought this little beauty. It was fitted yesterday and the guys showed me how to fine tune the air flow to make the stove heat the bones of my house. One burnt log later and I was stripping off clothes and fanning my hot flush face. (the fitters had actually gone by this time btw)
Blimey. It works. Really really well.

So now the gypsy in me is happy and even more so that there is enough space to pop my little orange kettle to heat on the top. Darlings, I am NEVER going to leave the house except to gather kindling and waft past the fire station giving them the thumbs up.
Can I confess though? I hastily painted the inside of the fireplace pink as it was so pale pale green and was not doing anything any justice, not even my complexion. But now as usual I am having a mini 'what have I done' crisis and thinking a riot of colour may not be the best way to express myself?
Or do you think it will grow on me and it's just a bit 'fresh'?

And as you can see I need a 'g' to complete my 'lounge' statement, sometimes I need help as to which room I am residing in. But I do have a small 'g' that is on the desk for refurbishment but if you have any other spare letters it would be good to have a few options. A new fireplace game called Frabble. (which is alarmingly like Fireball)
Postal address supplied on request.

As my friends would say... eff off, you're getting on our nerves now.

Lizzie said...

The game must be "Grabble" as you are hoping for a letter "G"...

The new stove is beeeeuuuutiiiiful! I would love one of these myself, but as it would cost over £1000 to remove our old flue-liner (from the back-boiler that was taken out when we replaced the boiler), then the several hundred for a new stove... well, we have an electric version, which is quite pretty and will do nicely thanks!

As for the piiiiink... I like it. But then, I am not living in the room... I would suggest not panicking as the first rule. Live with it for a while. Either it will "grow on you" and you'll love to snuggle up on a chilly autumn afternoon, watching the flames crackling happily in the stove, leaves blowing past the window and hearing the rain pattering on the panes; OR you will HATE IT!!! So much that you'll know when to go over it with a couple of coats of white and try again.
Pink is a very personal sort of colour. It grabs us at a very basic level and can affect us all differently. That pink is definitely an "impact" colour. But I like it.

Great post - made me smile, laugh and cheer a bit too!
Good luck with the little kettle idea!

*envy; fireplace envy... even if it is pink...!

Carol said...

I love the pink inside the fireplace.

Francesca said...

no but i love it! that pink is perfect. i hope you'll get used to it. i love the rugs too, it's a great space.

we're thinking about a wood burner for this space: http://mrseliotbooks.blogspot.com/2010/08/abacus.html.

white might look good. need to unblock the chimney first! x

chocolategirl64 said...

stay with it for a while:
light changes with season, mind changes with wind:
am jell coz I want but don't have beans or chimney:
have granny blanket to keep off chills but not quite the same:
I spy hook proj ~.~

KindredSpirit said...

This is absolutely lovely. can i move in please?? I love the pink - it's warm and individual! leave it and see how you feel in a few weeks.

louloulovesbooks said...

Oooh thanks for the comms. It's funny how nostalgic we all get for the winter! It is a nice feeling being warm and cosy while the chill rages out there. I'm liking the pink at night with candles and glow but it seems a little harsh in the day. Am going to review in a week. Now I want to change the surround as that was made out of skip finds and a tin of gold paint but alas the purse is empty so I will wait for a solution. I'm not one for buying an off the peg solution. I'll think of something. And if I don't I'll live with it because I have my dream stove. Sigh* lucky moi
And if you're passing, come and warm your toes

Sarah said...

I think it all looks very cosy. I can imagine the pink in the glow of the candles. I really like the spotty rug.My brother had one of those stoves and I know how hot they are! I love the fact that your stove is white. I thought I had a rusty g but alas it is a K! You could have had it if it was a g!
Thanks for your comment-I am loving the animation tool! I love changing my banner-and am also indecisive-so can never decide on one! I did have the same one for a long time when I first started blogging but then realised how easy it was to change!

Gina said...

I love your lounge! All of it!!!

Doing Screencasts

Dear Lazyweb,

What are some tools in Fedora for doing a screencast complete with an audio overlay. I've been playing around with some HDR photography, and I would like to do a tutorial on using Free and Open software to do it. This is something that it seems Fedora and Linux excel, since even a complete photography amateur like myself can do it quite easily.

There will be some results of my work eventually. I'm looking to get something I can be proud about.

3 flames:

stickster zei

Fedora 9 has istanbul, an all-in-one screencast recording tool. You can record audio live while you work if desired. If not, you can simply record your activity, and then narrate it later by playing back the video and recording audio into the Sound Recorder tool. Then you can use the pitivi tool to combine the tracks. I wouldn't call pitivi mature by any means, but it might suffice for your needs.

Jef Spaleta zei

Yes, please try using istanbul for screencasting and validate the absolutely minimal effort i put in to maintain the package in Fedora.

Once you have the video up stash it in your fedorapeople space and let the marketting list know where it is.

We are playing with developing a miro channel just for Fedora created content like tutorial screencasts.

malwkgad zei

Miro channel for fedora stuff? Wow that would be awesome!

And playing with HDR in fedora/free/open software would be really appreciated!

Plus you can also make a video tutorial how to make video tutorial with audio once you made it!

10 months

Hello all! My sweet Caleb boy is 10 months! This past month has truly been the MOST fun month ever! Caleb's personality has just blossomed! I am so surprised daily by the funny and crazy things he does!

We've had a really great month. April was probably one of my hardest months ever, definitely my hardest in MF thus far. The Lord is so gracious though, I learned A LOT in April and grew leaps and bounds, so May has been all about reaping the harvest. April showers DO bring May flowers! It has been a very fruitful month and a month of joy! I am very grateful!

I celebrated my first Mothers Day and that was wonderful and surreal! Joshua made it extra special by making me dinner, and writing me the sweetest letter of all time. I feel very appreciated and encouraged in my role as mom, and that is such a gift!

I really want to do a ministry update soon because just SO much is going on all the time, and so many cool things have happened. It's just tough because it's hard enough for me to get this montly update done, so I just don't know when I'll find  hours and hours to do that update!

Weight:  23 lbs
Height: 28 inches (didn't actually check! ha!)

Doctor appointment:none

Nicknames: same nicknames in rotation constantly, but a whole lot of 'sweetie' these days, cause he's just SUCH a sweetie pie!!!!!!!!!!!
Eating: He still eats most things! I did make cauliflower soup that really upset his belly the other day, so no more of that for either of us! He's also tried peanut butter and isn't just so happened that we had 2 doctors and 5 nurses at our house when Caleb tried PB for the first time...but we can just pretend that I wanted to be EXTRA cautious in having him try it the first time. ;-) :-)
Sleeping: Sleeping is pretty hit and miss these days! I would say he wakes up in the middle of the night about 3x a week, maybe less. I'm going to work on some things in the next few weeks that hopefully will help Caleb sleep better when we are traveling!
Clothing: 12 months! Some 12/18 months!
Social: Always VERY social in our home. I've been bringing him into the main sanctuary during the music since he was born (and then I take him in the back nursery wants the service starts), but he is officially distracting during the music. Haha! He stands on the chair and makes noise and is just crazy. It's nothing our church isn't used to, that's for sure!
New this month: He does something new and funny every day! He's learning how to wave, definitely hasn't mastered it. He's FINALLY saying mama again...he retired that word for about a month, but it's back, along with baba & dada! He screams REALLY loud sometimes, just because he can! He really likes his tongue these days, today he was just holding it and moving it around, must be fascinating! Still isn't walking, I don't think he's really interested in it. I think he finds it most efficient to crawl where he wants to go, but he does walk quickly along furniture. We've been on lots of walks this month, he LOVES it.
Likes: Caleb loves dancing and music! He LOVVEESS going for walks, he just smiles the whole time. I took him out a couple days ago and it was pretty chilly so he was wearing a hat...I look at him several minutes into our walk and the hat was totally covering his eyes..hahaha, and he didn't even care! He was just happy to be going along in the stroller! He laughed all hard when I moved it! silly boy! He loves his daddy and can't contain his excitment when he has the full attention of both mommy and daddy at the same time.
Dislikes: He has not been liking going to bed lately. Ugh. He doesn't like getting his diaper changed anymore.

Mama: Thank you to those who prayed for me last month. Like I said above, this month has been really great. I feel like April was just a hard low season for me, but I still faithfully sought the Lord and I would go through it all over again if I knew the growth that was on the other side. I feel like this month has been all about learning, being encouraged, growth, and gained wisdom. Be encouraged if you're in a low season to just KEEP fighting, KEEP seeking, BE disciplined. The Lord honors it. There were many days last month where I wanted to go back to bed when Caleb napped, but instead I got in the Word and filled my mind with the truths of scripture, and it was more fulfilling than any nap could ever be. I feel like I have a much better grasp on grace in motherhood, being a homemaker and being a wife. I'm learning and growing and that's all I ever want.

Daddy: Joshua is great! He finished the book of Ecclesiastes! It was a phenomenal study. We have a very kind man in the churh who is organizing the whole hard drive of sermons for us, so hopefully one day we can have more available for you all. If you didn't know, you can type 'Biblical Mind Maintenance' into youtube and 4 of Josh's studys should pop up! Watch, and be encouraged!! He since has started Habbakuk, and that too has been great! Caleb LOVES his daddy, yesterday was probably the first time of many where Caleb cried when his dad left for work! It was SO sweet (and sad)!

   What we're looking forward to: SO looking forward to our trip in 3 weeks! ahhhh!!! Can't wait! Please pray for our plane rides. I can't imagine Caleb sitting still for 1.5 hours x 2!!! yikes! and the train ride will be interesting too, but at least there is a bit ore flexibility on the train. We are always so encouraged and refreshed after time spent in Philly, so we are definitely looking forward to that. We've been watching the Missions Conference that took place at Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia, and have learned a lot, so looking forward to putting to practice some of the things we've learned.

{I LOVE this cute hat that a friends mom made Caleb!}

{the day Caleb fell in love with OUTSIDE. His first day out this year, how cute is his hat?}

{Mothers Day 2015! A collage that best represents the wild ride of motherhood!}

{someone just woke up!}

{someone just woke up AGAIN}

{My dare devil! Once he gets up though, he doesn't really know how to get down, hahaha, so I have to go stand by him and he falls in my arms! Caleb's version of the trust fall...he trusts me...woo!}

{Haha, that tongue hangs out of his mouth most of the time these days!!}
{going for a walk with Lorraine- his Moose Factory Gookum (grandma!)}

{Singing out of his Cree hymnal!}

{Watching his daddy on the TV in the nursery! P.s. for those who didn't know, the chapel broadcasts live to the island and mainland- available to over 7000 people!}

{I knew it would happen one got awful quiet while I was cooking dinner then I find he took all the tissues out and was making a run for it!}

{there is that tongue!!}

" But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you"

9 months

 I have laundry to do, dishes to wash, diapers to assemble, cookies to bake, and dinner to prep, so today will be a quick one!
Not a day goes by that I'm not amazed by Caleb and all that he's learning. He brings so much joy to my life. I adore him and being his mama!

Weight:  22.5 lbs
Height: 28 inches

Doctor appointment: he got his 6 month 'needles'
Nicknames: I mostly call him Caleb Joshua Oestreich these days...because we're formal like that!

Eating: Everything! Last night he had fajitas with avocado! Doing our best to make sure he loves Mexican as much as us!!

Sleeping: He has 2 new teeth coming in so sleeping has been a bit interesting lately. He still sleeps very well...which I have to remind myself of when he has off days/nights. Last night he woke up around midnight in pain and wanting to nurse, I just nursed him and put him back to bed and he was good! His naps are kinda wimpy on the days when he's growing or in pain.
Clothing: 12 months! Can't wait to get some Summer clothes on that boy!!

Social:I've heard about the 9 month making strange and I saw a bit of that in Caleb. One night at church he just cried every time someone came up to us! (awkwwarrdddd) But he's been doing better! It's also just him and me all day long, so maybe he was just overwhelmed that particular day at seeing so many faces.

New this month: He's walking all along furniture, crawling through and under anything he can, 2 new teeth coming, he's saying "mamama" "dadadada" and "babababa" a lot! He dances every time he hears music, he has a new fake laugh that he does whenever Josh or I laugh.

Likes: He gets VERY proud of himself when he does something is THE CUTEST thing I've ever seen, LOVES his fruit smoothie he has for breakfast every day, likes dancing with mommy which is also a daily activity, ha! LOVES his dad...seriously OBSESSED, it's so CUTE!!!

Dislikes: When I take something from him that he shouldn't have, wiping his runny nose

Mama: This month has been the hardest month I've had since living in Moose Factory. I am grateful to know that we are in the Lord's will, and that brings me peace on the hard days. I would really appreciate prayer as I learn how to be a mama in a place that I never imagined being a mama. Things like going for walks, going to the park, meeting friends for lunch, going to mom days out, running errands are things that I long for when it's just Caleb and me all day long. We are learning all the time. I just want to be the best mommy I can be.

Daddy: Joshua is doing great. He is working A LOT. He's preaching every message in the month of April, 2 on Sunday and Wednesday evening, among sooo many other things. He is the hardest worker I know. He comes home every single day and lays down his life for his family. I adore him and am beyond grateful for him, tears are coming to my eyes as I write this. I feel very blessed.

   What we're looking forward to: I am looking forward to our vacation in June. I absolutely can not wait for some family time at the beach. We truly need some rest, so I can't wait for that. Also can't wait to be with family & friends in Philly.

8 months

  8 months?!?!? Yikes. That was fast, sorta! In ways it was and in some ways it feels just as it should. I am just smitten and absolutely in love with Caleb Joshua and am so honored to be his mom! 8 months is a CRAZY FUN age!!! Holy moly! He is just so friendly and fun! He's a BLAST!!! What a rewarding, hard, fulfilling, sanctifying honor!!! If motherhood doesn't remind you that you need a Savior, I don't know what does!!! I am certainly not loving, patient, gentle or kind when Caleb is cutting a tooth and clingy and whiny or when I am so tired I could fall asleep taking a shower. I have been learning a lot and depending on Jesus to, through the Holy Spirit, live out the fruit of the spirit even in my tired and annoyed state. It's been pretty exciting to see that it IS possible through the Lord.

We have been VERY busy! We've had guests on and off since late January, many happenings at the church, Josh has been preaching a lot, Caleb is more active than ever, life has been wild! I am tired, but have been making a serious effort to fight through it and be the best wife, mom and homemaker I can be. A nap sounds soooo appealing right now but I just keep thinking...I am who I choose to be each day. I am a product of all my is napping every day going to fulfill me and cause me to feel proud in my job as a mom and homemaker...I'll tell you what I've learned...NO, no it isn't. I don't have to be busy all the time, and rest is GREAT (and SO so necessary), but I think I was allowing myself to get bogged down with tiredness. Fighting through it has been the best thing for me and I feel SO much better about how I'm spending my days. When I'm intentional about spending time with Jesus (even when I rather use that time to nap) everything is better and put into proper perspective. I find that I have the time to not only do the dishes and make dinner, but also to do some fun things that I'd like to do. Anyway, I'm learning, as I am every month. I am SO beyond blessed and grateful for the grace to grow and learn and be made better. It is my hearts desire to honor the Lord through what He has called me to.

Back to Mr. Cutie pie...
Caleb Joshua :
Weight:  20 lbs (I think with him being so active he's just stayed the same weight!)
Height: 27.5 inches (up a half an inch)
Doctor appointment: nope!

Nicknames: changes every single day! :) But I just made up this one....Teethy McTeethster in honor of his growing collection ;)

Eating: Eating well! It's been nice just throwing whatever we are having for dinner in the magic bullet. In the past week he's had chicken pot pie, fajitas and BBQ chicken + veggies. He LOVES it all, but especially the chicken and veggies mixed!

Sleeping: He is such a great sleeper. I am so so thankful to the Lord for blessing us with a good sleeper. He woke up at 3 AM a couple of nights ago because his 5th (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) tooth was cutting and I just went in and held him and loved every second of it! I LOVE being Caleb's mommy and nurturing him. It reminded me of the newborn days when it was just him and me and the silence of the night. It was so special and I'm grateful that it is such a rare occurrence so each time can be special.

Clothing: Mostly in 12 months clothing now.

Social:We had more company this month and Caleb was super friendly. Two young boys (age 10 & 12) came here with their parents and Caleb loved hanging out with them. He's laughing a lot for other people. Really loves skyping his grand parents and aunts and uncles!

New this month: More teeth. Pulls himself up on everything, it's his favorite thing to do. Laughs a lot more. Eats more things since he has more chompers. He's just SOOOOOO muchhhh fun!!!!

Likes: pulling himself up, getting into everything he shouldn't, when we go and get him after a nap or in the morning (getting him in the morning is one of my favorite things of life), kissing his mommy and daddy (my heart just started beating's one of my 'likes' too....try 'LOVES'!!!!)

Dislikes: When he's teething (which he is so much of the time) he doesn't like us to be far away, laying on his change table
Mama: I'm doing well! I have struggled the past 2 years when Spring comes around. Spring in the past has meant so many things that it doesn't mean anymore. It doesn't mean warm weather, or outdoor runs, or plans of going to Spring training or the beach. It does mean a hint of warmer it's 14 F (but it has gotten in the 30's recently), it does mean SLUSHY roads which are terrible for walking and even driving. I'm learning though...always learning. It's okay to miss some's inevitable, but I am grateful to say that I am truly SO happy where the Lord has called us and He has sustained me through every single season. I expected to be lonely and homesick very often...and I can count on 1 hand how many times I've cried from either. So while I would LOVE to be watching the Yankees at Spring training wearing shorts and going to the beach on off days, I am grateful to be in Moose Factory serving those around me and serving in my home. The Lord ALWAYS gives me the grace and rest I need. I've also been more intentional about using Caleb's nap times more wisely. I've been working out, doing house projects, spending time with people, and I find that doing something for myself each day is very revitalizing.
Daddy: Joshua is doing well!! He is one busy man! We had a group up last week from the States that do archery programs! It was a fantastic Gospel centered program and since there were a couple extra spots, Josh got to actually take part! He had a blast and even got to make his own bow. He's been preaching a lot, counseling often, prepping for the Summer teams coming and helping with things around the house. Please pray for strength and grace for him (and all of us) as he will be preaching a TON in April. He is just such a great daddy. He comes home from work and gets right down on the floor and plays with Caleb. Caleb adores his daddy...and so do I! :)
   What we're looking forward to: I am seriously looking forward to our trip in June, but am trying hard to just enjoy each day! Looking forward to getting our house a little more decorated. We have slowly but surely been putting up the different decorations we got on our Timmins trip. Our home is feeling much homier, so I'm thankful for that. I LOVE having a home that makes people feel cozy and welcome.

STEPHENVILLE Roscoe's stingy defense and two touchdowns and 110 yards rushing for Toby Nash lifted the Plowboys to a convincing 26-0 win over Celeste Friday night in a Region II-A semifinal football game.

After a scoreless first quarter, Nash scored on a 67-yard run in the second quarter and Nick Anthony caught a 33-yard touchdown pass from Chase Holland as the Plowboys opened up a 14-0 halftime lead.

Roscoe's lead swelled to 20-0 after three quarters when Anthony scored on a 37-yard run and the Plowboys closed out the game with Nash's 10-yard scoring run in the final period.

"Our kids just stepped up and played good defense tonight," Roscoe head coach Wes Williams said. "We knew that we had to keep them in front of us and not give up any big plays, and that's exactly what we did."

Router & Miter Work Station #1: The Design

  • Advertise with us
Blog entry by MrVitaminP posted 09-29-2010 07:49 PM 3742 reads 1 time favorited 6 comments Add to Favorites Watch
no previous part Part 1 of Router & Miter Work Station series no next part

Recently I decided that my existing miter saw station wasn’t ideal. It is a mobile station and is fairly stable given that it is light and easy to move. But, in truth I rarely, if ever, move it. So, the fact that it is mobile has meant very little. What has mattered is that it is small, too small. Cutting long pieces on it can be a bit of a headache. This was enough of a push to start a new project.

Looking around I have found plenty of inspiration. Using this I came up with a few design goals:

  • Must have a large/long table surface
  • Inset the miter saw so table top is flush
  • Provide extra storage for the shop
  • It must fit along an open wall in the shop

My miter saw, Milwaukee 6955-20, it pretty large and as such requires a fair amount of space. Because of this, I settled on a table depth of about 36”. With such a deep and large table surface it seemed a shame to not multi-purpose the project.

First, I looked at using the table as a secondary assembly station. For this I wanted a level and stiff surface. To accomplish these goals I decided to go with a torsion box design for the table tops. This was inspired by the assembly table design that the Wood Whisperer built a couple of years ago.

Second, I wanted to use this opportunity to build a new router station as well. Maybe, a miter / router station with torsion box top is a little overkill. But, it seemed like it would work.

Ok, enough intro, here is the initial design that I have put together:

Design Diagram - Isometric View Design Diagram - Top View Design Diagram - Front View Design Diagram - Back View Design Diagram - Right View Design Diagram - Left View

These diagrams were put together with Google SketchUp. I am still tweaking the design and these images are missing the table fences.

The design as a whole is split into three main components: router table with torsion box surface, miter saw stand, and storage cabinet with torsion box surface. The torsion box surfaces are designed to sit flush with the top of the miter saw work surface.

As for materials, I am planning on building the cabinets that hold the tables with 3/4” ply. The torsion boxes will be MDF with a hardwood trim to help protect it from bumps. Finally, I was planning on putting a Formica layer on the top surfaces.

Currently, my plan is to finish up the details of the design and work on the actual project over the next few months. Any feedback is always welcome!

Rick, like the way you set up your RAS. Is the top all one piece or is there an insert that can be replaced?

Greg, The top is actually 2 pieces. From the left of the chop saw is one piece, and to the right is one piece.. There is no insert to replace….About 2 ft. of fence is replaceable. If I chew it up making any angle cuts (which I have before) with saw and dado blades, it is seperate from the rest of the fence..Haven’t done that in years, though….Like so many on here, I use it for crosscutting only at 90degrees anymore…

I am working on building my version of a Miter Saw Station which incorporates several of your design criteria elements. Only completed construction of the drawer boxes and fronts and beginning on casework. I decided on the Milwaukee 6950-20 due to the depth requirements for the slider version. The Sketchup model is very detailed compared to most and can easily be adapted and modified for your specific needs.

I investigated the recessed saw design and decided on the elevated stock support due to difficulty in alignment between the Left and Right stock supports and saw table. One unplanned benefit is that the area behind the support section provides for good place for storage and helps reduce clutter which quickly consumes space for stock placement when making measured cuts.

One consideration which I see many versions of Miter Saw Station do not address is what happens should the back fence on saw base need to slide outward to accommodate compound angle cuts. My design calls for replacement of either fence with 4/4 Oak trimmed to fit into exiting fence support channels and minimizes the distance to the Kreg “Trak” mounted atop the backstop. The replacement Oak will provide for support on tall material yet allow for compound cuts.

I put 60 grit on mine and have had the same piece on there since I built it. Sill sanding like a champ. Sanded lots of rolling pin inserts and a bunch of end grain boards.

Today I was turning a 12” walnut burl bowl on my lathe and while I was working to hollow out the center it exploded. A large chunk got me on the arm and I thought it was broke for a few seconds. I still have only found 1/4 of the bowl and it had paint on it from the ceiling.

I was using my 12-20 Jet lathe and I don’t know what the RPM was but I now think it might have been to high.

I’ve found that it’s good to take a little bit at a time and let it sit for a day between. The internal stresses can be released rather suddenly if you do it in one sitting. This also gives the outside a chance to dry a little at a time reducing the risk of a crack.

I’ve done this more times than I care to admit. Catch a tool while hollowing or truing the bottom and BOOM. Always spooks me.

Been there, done that. Burls, spalted pieces . . . gotta watch for this sort of thing. If the RPMs were too high, maybe the hold you had on it wasn’t good enough for the given RPMs.
