Hellooooooo from La Follette (December 30)

Hi, everyone!

I hope y'all had a great Christmas! I certainly did!

Our Christmas schedule got a little messed up because Sister Walser was sick, and we didn't want to cross contaminate by going over to the Smiths, where she was resting, and then get everyone else in the branch sick. So we ended up going over to the Kennedy's to Skype, and the were super sweet and fed us biscuits and chocolate gravy afterwards (yum!) and then a little later they fed us dinner. I didn't realize that we were going to get dinner at the Kennedy's at all, but we did and then had two other dinner appointments that night. Classic missionary life. After the Kennedy's we went to the Riggs for dinner #2, and I heard rumor that we were going to have squirrel dumplings, but they didn't end up making them. I was pretty excited to have a truly backwoods Tennessee experience, but they made other more normal things for Christmas. Boring! After the Riggs, we finished our day at the Smiths and luckily they already ate dinner, but we did have some banana pudding :) Sister Walser was feeling good enough to come home on Christmas night, so we took her back home with us. SHE IS SO CRAZY PANTS! I love her so much! She's being transferred on Wednesday, so unfortunately I'll only have the opportunity to serve with her for less than a week! Missionary life is pretty crazy sometimes :) I'm so grateful to have two wonderful companions, however! We get a new companion when we drop Sister Walser off as well, so that should be fun :)

The day after Christmas, one of the elder's investigators, Joel, was baptized. He is so awesome! He has this huge spike-y hair, and snake bites with hipster glasses! He's great! He had been searching for a church for about a year, and in his research, he kept coming across anti-Mormon stuff. He didn't find any church with more anti-material than the Mormon church, so he figured he would look into it. He went to and requested a visit with the missionaries, and three weeks later he was baptized. He is so golden! He has such a strong testimony, and he's now preparing to serve a mission! He's the absolute best! I forgot to bring my camera to the library today, but I'll e-mail you a picture next week.

Alley, our investigator, is still preparing to be baptized on Saturday. She has some concerns, but hopefully we can help to resolve them. She is such a sweet girl and is so golden! President Smith's son, Fleet, and his wife, Kima, are really awesome fellow-shippers for her! They are such wonderful teachers, too! It's so great to have them with us when we teach her.

On Sunday morning at church, President Smith asked to talk with me, and he sat me down and talked about how he had called my Dad and spoken with him. He said that they had had a great conversation, and something my dad said really struck him, about how I had said that I really felt like I was called to be here in the South, even though my original assignment was Brazil. He then asked me to talk in Sacrament meeting. Thanks, Dad :) I think my talk went fairly well, even though I literally didn't prepare anything :) I talked about giving up our hearts to the Lord, and he will perfect them and make them better, and then give them back to us. I know it's really hard to accept the Lord's will, and I have also gained a testimony that as we give up everything to the Lord, that He will give us everything in return.

I love y'all so much! Have a great week!

Feliz Natal! (December 23)

Hello, family!

Merry Christmas! Thank you for all of the Christmas goodies I got!  Side note, I haven't opened any of them, even though I started getting presents BEFORE THANKSGIVING! #selfcontrol

So this week has hands down been the CRAZIEST week of my entire life. Not that I've had a very crazy life, but this weeks was truly CRAZY PANTS!
Sister Pennington and her companions

So it all started Monday night. Setting: family home evening with the Kings. Mood: happy and excited about Christmas the following week. Phone rings. It's president always answer when President Irion calls. Sister Sume answers the's for me...I know what you're all thinking...VISA! But, visa for Sister Pennington.

Here's what he was really calling about. A sister in La Follette - a tiny town near the Kentucky border - needed to have her gall bladder removed, and someone needed to come and take her place while she recovered. The doctors said that the recovery time was about two weeks. Keep in mind, transfers are on January 1st - a little over two weeks from when President called me. He said that he had been planning on sending me to La Follette at transfers anyways. La Follette is in our zone, and we had zone conference this past Wednesday; the same day Sister Walser was scheduled for surgery. It worked out perfectly so that I could go to zone conference with my companions and bring all of my things, and then just exchange at zone conference. The Lord is in this work! President Irion is an inspired mission president, and I know that everything worked out exactly as it needed to to allow me to be transferred to La Follette this past week.

Sister Pennington and her companions

So I had one day to pack up all of my things and say goodbye to the people I needed to say goodbye to. I had to buy another suitcase to fit all of my stuff...good times :) I said goodbye to Misty, and that was so hard! Right from the very beginning, I felt like I was sent to Oak Ridge for Misty. I just love her so much and I knew that the message we had to share would change her life and bless her so much. When I told her I was leaving she started crying, and it was so terrible! I just love her to bits and pieces! Later at night, Sister Monteirth came over to our apartment and brought me some going away presents and Christmas presents. She is the sweetest lady in the whole world! I love her so much! I'm going to miss her! She said she already added me on Facebook, so in another year I'll accept her friend request :)

Saying goodbye to my companions was probably the hardest part. I know I e-mailed you just last week saying how much I love them and how much fun I've had this transfer. The last two nights I was in oak ridge, Sister Hatch, Sume and I slept in our living room under the Christmas tree (something we were planning to do on Christmas Eve). They are amazing missionaries and I miss them already!

Their Christmas Tree

Zone conference was really great, and because it was a week before Christmas, we had some wonderful Christmas festivities! After the conference I went back to La Follette with Sister Roundy, my new companion. She is so sweet! She is the cutest, littlest, sweetest sister in East Tennessee! I love her already! I was a little bit worried about the whole transfer situation, but talking with sister Roundy in the car confirmed to me that I'm exactly where I need to be! Sister Roundy told me of some of the struggles they'd been having, and I knew that I was meant to be here right now! My second day here, Thursday, we got our most progressing investigator to set a baptismal date for January 4th! Her name is Alley, and she had a boyfriend serving a mission in Nevada. She's so sweet, and I'm so excited for her to be baptized!

Also, La Follette is the cutest sweetest little town in the whole world! It's so great! There aren't enough people for a ward here, so it's just a branch. And everyone's related! It's awesome! The branch President LITERALLY lives in a holler! It's awesome! When he's not at church, he's in overalls and barefoot. Everyone here is just a gun-loving redneck American, and they are proud of it! I love every single person here! They're fantastic!

That's about all I have time for today, but there's so much I didn't have time to tell you! I'm so excited for the chance I have to skype with you in a few days! Love you so much!

Sister Pennington

Hi there! (December 16)

Hi, there!

I hope y'all had a great week! It was a really weird week for me...

Our Relief Society president works at the Bishop's storehouse here in Knoxville, and because of the craziness around the holidays, she needed a lot of extra help, so we went and helped her out on Wednesday. It was good to help out, but it's always hard being away from our area, because we can't really do our regular missionary work. Then on Thursday, I started getting sick and then by Friday, I couldn't get out of bed! I was congested, and coughing up a lung and had a fever that kept going up. Fridays we usually do weekly planning, which takes about 3 or 4 hours, where we talk about all of the people we're working with and set goals and make plans as to how we can best help them feel the power of the atonement in their lives. I was determined to help the sisters plan for the week, and they knew how sick I was, so they humored me and said I could help plan as long as I was laying down. So they dragged my bed out of the bedroom and set it on the floor in the living room and had me lie down while they were planning. I was asleep in like 2 minutes and stayed out for the rest of the day. It worked out pretty well, however, because the people we were planning on seeing actually called us to cancel on us. I really don't think I could've functioned proselyting on Friday, but it was still really hard to not go out.

 Rewind to Thursday, one of the sisters in Melton Lake, Sister Weight, got hit by a car. She was riding her bike, and she got clipped by a car. It's a miracle she didn't get hurt worse, but she did break her hand. She's an extremely diligent missionary, and even though she was in the emergency room until midnight on Thursday, she still went out on Friday to do missionary work! It kind of took it's toll on her though, and some other issues popped up, so by Saturday she was pretty incapacitated and couldn't go anywhere. An amazing member of the Melton Lake ward, Sister Valdez, volunteered to take care of Sister Weight for the day so Sister Merrell could go out. Sister Merrell asked if I could go with her, so Saturday I spend the whole day in Melton Lake. I was really glad I could help out at least in a small way. Sister Merrell, as you can imagine, was still pretty shaken up from her companion getting hit by a car, and so it was kind of a rough day. To put the cherry on top of the whole mess, she dropped her phone in a puddle, and it stopped working. It was really a tough day for those sisters! Please keep them in your prayers this week! Good news though, we put the phone in a bag of rice and by the end of the day it started working again. Sister Merrell was so happy :) Heavenly Father loves her :) Also, the sisters were able to go to Farragut and spend the night in the mission home with President and Sister Irion, and they are taking her to the doctor today. We have the best mission president in the world, by the way! He came down Thursday night and stayed with Sister Weight until she went home. He made sure that she was given blessings and it was really great.

Anyways, so that was my crazy week, and so I didn't end up spending much time in Poplar Creek working with the people here. We're going back to the bishops storehouse tomorrow and we have a big zone conference on Wednesday, and we'll be away all day. I just love Oak Ridge and I miss it! It's okay though, we'll do the best we can with the time we have :)

I just love my companions by the way! Being with these sisters has been the most fun that I've had on my mission! Even though missionary work is going kind of slow, these sisters are awesome, hard working, obedient missionaries, and I really love them! We're having so much fun this transfer, and I'm so grateful to spend Christmas with such wonderful companions!

Sister Pennington and her companions

I love you all so much! Hope you have a wonderful week!

Another Week in Paradise (December 9)

Hello, family!

It's been a fun week :) This weekend was really special and fun because we had both the Christmas party and the Wartburg Christmas parade! (Wartburg is a town in our ward boundaries - it's in the elder's area) It was so much fun! We had some investigators and less active members attend the party, and it was so much fun!
Sister Pennington at the parade with a member of the ward

The parade was also so much fun! The youth designed and built the float. We had elves in the front wrapping presents and the nativity in the back. It was way cute. Also, they made rubber bracelets that say #webelieveinchrist and  The #webelieveinchrist is a twitter account that one of the youth made and will be updating things to it, so it was a great missionary effort. We just walked alongside the float and handed out candy and those bracelets. It was a great time!

The float

We also got to watch the Christmas devotional last night! It was so nice! I hope you all had an opportunity to watch it! It was such a wonderful devotional! I would like to point out that Elder Nelson talked about the most important thing - that through the atonement of Jesus Christ, and living the gospel, we're able to be cleansed from sin, endowed with God's power, and achieve eternal life. Nailed it, Elder Nelson!

Sister Pennington with her companions

I don't have a ton of other things to say, or a ton of time, but I love all of you so much and I hope that you have a wonderful wonderful week!

Thanksgiving Week (December 2)

Hi, family and friends!

Thanksgiving as a missionary is so great! Even though I missed my family at home immensely, we got to spend Thanksgiving with my ward family here and it was so awesome! Sister Reano was in charge of the Thanksgiving dinner at the church (of course) with another member, Sister Newport. It was a great meal! We were so full! We got to be with such amazing people for Thanksgiving, and I was so blessed to be able to be with them! We also went to two other members homes, and I kind of felt like six - dinner - Sid...we were way full by the end of the day!

 Thanksgiving with Sister Dods

We started teaching SANTA CLAUS! Not really, his name is Billy Jones, but he is the most jolly man I've ever met! I'll have to get a picture with him next time we meet with him because he is the COOLEST! Plus, he's open to hearing how the restored gospel of Jesus Christ can cleanse him from sin, endow him with God's power and give him the opportunity for eternal life, so that's good :)

Bacon-wrapped turkey

We've been struggling recently to find people to teach, and to help the people we are teaching to progress...In my personal study yesterday I turned to a random page in the Book of Mormon. I opened to Alma 16. Verses 13-14 say, "And Alma and Amulek [one of the greatest missionary companionship in the Book of Mormon]  went forth preaching repentance to the people...and as many as would hear their words, unto them they did impart the word of God, without any respect of persons, continually". These verses called me to repentance a little bit, because it reminded me of the line from Preach My Gospel that says, "teach when you find, and find when you teach". I need to do a better job of teaching everyone we find, members, investigators and less-actives. We should teach every single person we talk with every day, no matter who they are. I think I need to do a better job of that. Verses 16-17 go on to tell the results of Alma and Amulek's dedicated service. It says, "the Lord did pout out his spirit on all the face of the land to prepare the minds of the children of men, or to prepare their hearts to receive the word which should be taught among them at the time of his coming - that they might not be hardened against the word, that they might not be unbelieving, and go on to destruction, but that they might receive the word with joy, and as a branch be grafted into the true vine, that they might enter into the rest of the Lord their God". God's doing His part. He's preparing the people to hear the message we have to share. I need to do my part more effectively and do everything I can to share this message with every single person the Lord puts in my path. I know that if I do these things, that I'll have success.

Sister Pennington and her companions with Brother Fleming

I love you all and hope you have a great week!

Ho hum...

I think I (kari) have the spring time blues. I'm ready for some green grass and flowers. A little 60-70F weather couldn't hurt either. I can't wait to spend all day outside in the woods or just grilling on our back patio. I look forward to leaving the stresses of school and work behind for a few weeks - like seven or so. Well, I'm going to take a nap.

Ahh! HAHA! That had to hurt:

It's been awhile...

I guess we haven't posted anything for over a month. As I usually report, we're busy! :) A week ago, I returned from visiting Steve in Oregon. My friend, Kirstin Brinkmann, had also flown out from Florida to spend time with me, to see beautiful Oregon, and to meet Steve for the first time. She gave her seal of approval so we're still getting married as planned. ;)

That was my last vacation to Oregon. The next time I fly out there, I will be flying to my new home with my new husband. I can't wait! Here are some photos from the trip:

A hero of mine

I grew up in an area where not much respect was afforded to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Maybe none at all.

In college, one of my favorite courses was on the American civil rights movement. I think it was then that my admiration of the man began and now runs deep.

To anyone who is dreaming or has ever dreamed a dream much bigger than themselves--a dream that will undoubtedly place them in the path of detractors and enemies but fearlessly chases after it anyway.... Martin Luther King, Jr. led your way.

This is Dr. King's Alabama police mugshot on February 22, 1956. I love the look on his face. There he sat, arrested, humiliated, no doubt being treated shamelessly by the Alabama authorities... but the look on his face is one of determination. Resolve. As though he's thinking, "The work I'm doing is so far above you and your inability to understand it. Do and say what you will. It will not slow me."

To the man who understood his calling and ran headlong to embrace it, no matter the cost, you are a hero of mine.

(You can go here and see some pictures from our 2009 Spring Break when we visited the Lorriane Hotel where Dr. King was assassinated.)

Nel said...

Enjoyed your post! I totally agree with you Angela! I can remember watching him on TV when I was a kid and when he would say "I have a dream..." It is sad that so many people have tunnel vision. He is one of my heroes also!
until next time... nel

If you can name where this slice of deep dish came from, you are a pizza hero. Hint: It's from somewhere in Chicago. [Photograph: Robyn Lee]

In Slice's earlier days, I would have been afraid to run this poll for fear of starting an all-out pizza flame war. But I think we've all come to realize that this is a place for civil debate about our favorite food. So, inspired by Daniel Zemans's United States of Pizza entry on Chicago, let's see where Slice'rs stand. Deep dish: pizza or casserole? »

Tuesday Twitterdeedropletsanddropletsand droplets

My friend Susan sent me a speech given by a keynoter at a forestry gathering in Coeur d'Alene last December.  The very eloquent piece, which must have had its audience riveted, touched on the 1910 conflagration in North Idaho/Montana---one huge fire resulting from the wind blowing several small fires together.

It was scorched earth in epic proportions, and this year's centennial has ignited lots of talk about the fire and questions of if it can happen again.

Well, based on our 100-percenter day of rain, I have a hard time thinking of scorched earth this morning.  They say we'll get washed-down all day and all night this time and that maybe---maybe by Sunday we'll start drying out.

Surprisingly, yesterday turned out okay.  After experiencing dry times for ten minutes during the late morning, I decided to jump on the lawnmower and see if I could mow down at least part of the water-soaked, growing lawn.  I put the blade up higher than usual to avoid getting too much grass gummed up under the deck.

Clouds with wet stuff dropping were coming over Schweitzer, so I hurried.  Apparently those clouds were in a holding pattern because I mowed and mowed and mowed and eventually finished the whole lawn.  The sun even came out, and the rest of the day was nothing short of magnificent.

With the lilac bushes at their height and other shrubs starting to bloom, this is the prime time for loving the yard.  And, to view its brilliance after a thorough scrubbing heightened both my senses and my mood.

We're back at it this morning, and I know that one section of garden will be completely submerged before this storm passes.  Tom Sherry assured us that today's chapter will not be record-breaking like what we experienced Memorial Day, so that's a good thought.

In other news of note, I'm now a veteran of Sandpoint's first-ever roundabout.  I drove through it Monday morning and came out on North Boyer from the other side unscathed.  My driving ability, however, suffered a failing grade later in the day.

Bill was craving a brick-oven pizza from the Loading Dock downtown, and since I was doing some errands, I drove on toward town from Wal-Mart to get it.  Looking down at my speedometer, between Yoke's and Co-Op, I noticed 50 mph and immediately slowed down but not before the Ponderay cop saw me too.

She wheeled around in the highway and proceeded to follow me with no light.  She didn't really need to flash it cuz I knew I'd been had.  I pulled into the nearest wide spot just past the Y and on went the lights.

It's been a long time since I've been stopped, so I did okay with the driver's license but stress set in when she asked for the registration and proof of insurance.  I hadn't opened that glove compartment for months, and I remember the last cop stop when I kept handing the officer my Les Schwab envelopes.

Eventually we found the needed documents.  This time, however, guardian angel Bill had been to the glove compartment since I had.  Everything was there, in order.   She, the cop, seemed pleased.

She told me they were working on seat-belt awareness.  I passed that test, and she seemed to know that my instant of speeding was a temporary lapse.  So, no ticket.  Thank goodness.

Moral of the story:  wear your seatbelt, know where the documents are and slow down all through Ponderay.  They're vigilant, as they should be.

Today is gonna present a challenge on the "maintain-the-good-mood" front.  I'm trying to think of things that will help me forget the rain.  The mind is blank.

Maybe organizing things in the barn, maybe sweeping the shop, maybe cleaning the cat room aka shop next to the garage.  All fun things, for sure.  And, then there's always "America's Got Talent" with its second segment of the season tonight.

Okay, I'm happy.  And to all my faithful readers, drive slowly through roundabouts and near all grocery stores, buckle up, and stay dry.

Sunday, July 29, 2007

I can't believe July is over -- I'm not sure I've even knit more than a row or two. No spinning at all. Instead we visited my family in Baltimore, I exercised a ton and read quite a few books. I'm organizing a Waldorf class to meet one day a week in the fall if you know of anyone that's interested.

Now that Ohio's farms are finally churning out the food we've been spending our weekends eating our way through the local veggies. On Saturdays the kids and I hit our local farmer's market for produce, on Sunday we get our CSA pick-up and the rest of the week I cook it all up. I'm looking to add in one other CSA in the hopes that I can stop the need to visit Whole Foods mid way through the week. While we've been doing many of these things for years, my passion to use the food well has been spurned on by reading Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I think it presents farming in a pretty idealistic manner, however it was still enjoyable and thought provoking. Last week's lesson -- okra does not work well roasted. Bleh! Tough as leather.

Unfortunately, my own garden has not done well. I think I got everything in too late and then our local groundhog ate many things. Now I'm just waiting for my tomatoes to ripen.

The daylillies are almost over but here are three pretty ones:

Now the missing pics from last post:

Nice swag. :) And, just curious, what are the details with the Waldorf class?

I have some babysitter contacts for you, BTW. Hope to see you tomorrow, I have to be there early, between about 1 and 2:45.

Whitney said...

My mother-in-law loved Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and for a couple of weeks decided she wanted to be a farmer...we have some spunky deer that come right up to the houses here and have enjoyed bits and pieces of my garden. So...all we have left are bits and pieces. Hope B-more was enjoyable! I started my job today....survey says - vacation is better!

joyce said...

that last picture is priceless!

good luck with your waldorf venture. we love our waldorf school.

New Blogs to Check out

I just took a minute to update my sidebar and add a few links to some new blogs I have found. I know when I first started blogging I always checked out sites other people had on their sidebars. It is hard to keep that updated but I think it is really helpful to people. Here are a few new blogs that I have found and really enjoy (You will have to click on the side bar to link sorry- just easier that way)

It's a Girl Thing- She links to other blogs with creative ideas and has some of her own. You can never find enough of these kind of blogs if you are searching for new ideas.

Nap Time Crafts- A woman after my own heart. A busy mom who tries to squeeze a craft or two in during nap time. She has cute ideas.

My Crafty Side- Another woman after my own heart trying to squeeze a craft or two into her day. Check out her stroller diaper bag. Love it!!

That went Well- Just found this today via Sugardoodle. She has money saving tips and coupons. I linked because she had a post about $10.00 in free Schwans food. I went to the site and entered and got 24 root beer float bars for free. How great is that. Going to keep tabs on this site. Sorry probably it isn't going to be helpful for anyone out of the U.S.

Happy blog searching.

Digital bathroom from GROHE

The bathroom traditionally has less digital stuff them the rest rooms. And GROHE tries to change that producing its digital collection of sink, tub and shower faucets named Ondus. It offers a new, modern way to operate water flow, duration and temperature using icon based touch-buttons. The current temperature is displayed on the rounded LCD display. Additionally the Ondus shower/bath models allow to store preferable shower parameters for each family member.

[via Unplggd]

Grohe Ondus AquaFountain

Grohe Ondus AquaFountain
It time to add modern technologies into bathroom. Once Grohe already announced its Wireless Digital Shower. Now Grohe presents a new hi-tech shower – Ondus AquaFountain. Its amazing design hides fully electronic control. The Grohe Ondus AquaFountain comes with a backlit touchpad and LCD display to input the exact temperature or choose the shower mode. It’s possible to pause the shower (sounds funny. Maybe later they add recording :)) and continue with already defined temperature and mode.

Cool! The number of electric gadgets in our dwelling is growing day by day. So, maybe after 5 – 10 year it won’t be possible to manage them without some central control system.

Secrets you need to know about the client who asks you to do work for free

It’s pretty obvious why giving your product (your art) away for nothing in return is a bad move for your business. But, what about those clients that DO offer you something, it’s just not money? What if it’s a royalty, or a piece of ownership in the project? That’s not the same as offering nothing, right?

Well it’s not exactly the same~ but it’s often a dead giveaway of something about the person who is offering it to you- that something is a secret that maybe the client doesn’t even know about themselves. What is this secret? The secret is: this very offer shows that they have no idea what they are doing! And if they don’t know what they’re doing, they’re probably not going to be successful in their goal.

Giant Red Flag #1 “I am just looking for help to get this going and then it will take off”

Why this flag is red: There are institutions and individuals out there who make a living by lending people money- a couple of these institutions are called banks and venture capitalists. Both of these strange organizations are full time lenders of money- it’s what they do, it’s what they excel at, it’s why they’re rich and they have money to lend in the first place. They make money off of lending people money, and they ask for a set amount back in return, called interest, for their trouble.

If a client doesn’t know about this, then they either:

a) don’t know what they are doing which means the likelihood of success of the project is very slim, or

b) they weren’t able to secure funding because their idea wasn’t thought through and the lenders saw them as a big risk and said heck no!

And if the billionaires say they don’t want to risk $10,000 on someone, you, non-billionaire artist, should definitely not risk anything on them either

Giant Red Flag #2 “In exchange I will give you a royalty so when this blows up you will be rich”

Why this flag is red: Why would a client offer someone a royalty on something that they have pretty much proven through diligent research to be a successful product when it’s cheaper to just pay for the thing up front? That money will be taken away from reinvesting and growing their business.

It’s usually because:

a) They don’t know how to get funding because they don’t know what they’re doing, and if they don’t know what they are doing, the product probably won’t succeed, or

b) A client would do that because they aren’t sure if the product will succeed because they didn’t research it and they are guessing, and so they will offer a royalty as a way of avoiding any risk of their own- because they don’t want to lose their OWN money on it, they’d rather lose your money.

A color illustration for a tshirt= $300. 3% royalty on a 100,000 shirts that are sold at wholesale prices to stores "when the shirt blows up"= $21,000.

Why would they pay $21,000 when they could pay $500? Because they don’t know what they’re doing, and since they don’t know what they’re doing the project probably won’t work.

Giant Red Flag #3 “You can have a piece of the ownership of the project!”

Why this flag is red: This is even worse than giant red flag #2- it is giving away even more of that money that they should be wanting to keep to help their business succeed. They’re offering you money on stuff you didn’t even work on. They’re offering you money on projects that will be made ten years down the road by some other artist you’ve never met. Instead of offering you $21,000 in exchange for $500 of work, they’re offering you $175,000. That’s an even more ridiculous move on their part and will even more seriously dwarf the growth of their company.

Also, when banks and investors review business plans to decide if they should invest in a company or not, they look and see how many owners of the company there are. If someone has given away ownership to people who aren’t helping to run the business , that’s a giant red flag to them too that the person doesn’t know what they’re doing and that they will never get their money back. And that person will be denied.

They are offering a deal that could make the chances of failure of their company greater, and they are also offering a deal that could make it harder for them to get approved for additional funding later. So they could be double-screwed, by their own decisions. This person definitely doesn’t know what they’re doing, and if they don’t know then it probably won’t work.

Giant Red Flag #4 Artists are pitched projects with these terms about a zillion times a year.

Why this flag is red: The fact that this is so prevalent means the likelihood of the one in a zillion projects that will actually work being pitched to you out of every other artist on this planet is low. It’s like winning the lottery. And we all know how easy that is.

But what if you are actually interested in the project?

I think we as artists should start learning something from the banks. They research the project, research the person, and use all of this information to come up with an educated determination. We should also ask questions and scrutinize these people who are basically asking us to invest. Here are some things that banks want to know, that artists should also want to know:

-What is your marketing plan for this project and how much do you have to spend on advertising it?

-Who are you selling it to, and where will you be selling it?

-Have you sought out a loan to fund this project? If not, why? If so, why were you denied?

-Do you have any deals that are already in writing regarding this project? If so, with who?

-What are your qualifications that make you and your team able to bring this project off successfully?

-How much of your OWN money are you investing in this project?

-May I see the financial analysis of your projected sales for the next 3-5 years?

Giant Red Flag #5 If a client has no answers, won’t share these answers even after an offer of a confidentiality agreement, or has crappy answers. Then they definitely don’t know what they’re doing and therefore the project probably won’t succeed.

So these are the secrets I have learned that I am sharing. To learn more about his stuff take a class on writing business plans and talk to your bank about what is involved in seeking and being granted a business loan. This can be useful information for your own business as well as for understanding what goes into a product or company that makes it succeed.

If we’re expected to be investors, then we need to protect ourselves with basic knowledge and with information to guard against bad investments, because that’s exactly what you don’t need to get your bills paid.

In our busy lives, many of us struggle to find balance, harmony or peace of mind.   If you, like many, function at a high energetic frequency (go-go-go) slowing down to “smell the roses” often necessitates conscious and gradual down shifting. Conversely, if you lack motivation or feel stuck in your life, you may need a push or inspiration to get moving in the right direction in order to realize your dreams. The practice of yoga can help to disperse energy through movement, facilitate a shift in perspective and manage the fluctuations of the mind through controlled breathing. If we are moving too fast or aren’t moving enough (physically and figuratively) we risk missing the joy available in each moment of our lives.   It is natural to move from activity to rest throughout our daily lives. It is also natural to move from seeking accomplishment to feeling contentment or even ebbing backwards on the imagined path of life.   How can we embrace these natural rhythms of life in a way that supports our spiritual growth and happiness? How can we experience peace of mind?

The concept of balance

A simple sine wave

Within the philosophy of Ayurvedic science and yoga exists the concepts of the three gunas. The gunas are elements of our prakriti or our natural state. In a perfect world, this state is one of equilibrium gently swaying from activity to rest. The three gunas are sattva, rajas and tamas. These are respectively balance or intelligence, energy or turbulence and inertia or substance. You will fluctuate within these three states throughout the day. I imagine a sine wave and the gentle oscillation from activity to rest with the line crossing the middle, sattva often.   Many of us do not cross the middle, but instead linger in a rajasic or a tamasic state embodying the qualities associated with these states.

The gunas defined

The three gunas underlie matter, life and mind. All living beings possess various combinations of the three gunas. Sattva is the quality of intelligence (in its pure form – truth), virtue and harmony. Sattva is balance and stability. When you increase sattva, you acquire peace and are less affected by the chaos of your surroundings. Consider moments in your life that you’ve felt this way, content and undaunted by the commotion or drama in your immediate environment or the world. It does not mean you don’t care, but stability of body and mind shape your attitude and perspective.   David Frawley in his book Ayurveda and the Mind, describes an inward and upward motion associated with this state inducing awakening of the soul. Rajas is the quality of change and creation. Rajasic people are ever seeking (pleasure, goals, power) and often emotionally frail due to relying on external sources as a means towards happiness. Tamas is the quality of inertia and dullness. It has a heavy and dull nature limiting growth and retarding motion. Tamasic people tend to lack awareness of their impact on others. They may seem lazy, insensitive, and are often attached to rigid belief systems.   Being in a rajasic or tamasic state for too long can be considered unsafe (risking harm to self).   If our goal driven behavior is not balanced with self care and social bonding, we risk damage to our health and happiness. Contrarily, if you maintain a rigid belief system you may be unable or unwilling to see or accept opposing views. This conviction may squash relationships and slow your spiritual growth. There are many ways to look at the extremes of rajas and tamas to interpret where unsafe habits may develop. Frawley summarizes “It is the principle of materiality or unconsciousness that causes consciousness to become veiled”.

How can I use my yoga practice to improve a sense of balance and awareness?

The benefits of asana (the physical practice of yoga) include moving energy, blood, and oxygen through the body.   Science recognizes that posture and mental attitude will affect physiology which influences our well being. Certain postures like back bending and heart opening positions tend to increase heat and lift energy and mood, while other postures facilitate a downward flow of energy or a calming effect.   Cues that you give yourself and the depth and rate of your breathing may help to ground or to energize. Stepping onto your mat and assessing your prakriti is helpful in understanding what techniques to utilize for balance in your practice.

A brief smart-safe example

Not smart: You are feeling rajasic.   You choose a practice that is very stimulating and heating and push through it because you need the workout. Doing this and adopting this attitude may tempt your nervous system further into rajas and out of balance. You often confuse exhaustion with relaxation and tend to live your life burning the candle at both ends.

Smart: You choose a different type of class today that intuitively feels more grounding. Or, you go to the same class as intended, but with an intention of balance and grounding. You focus your attention on your breath and the ease of breath throughout the practice. You utilize techniques you have learned such as cooling type breathing or slowing the exhale when appropriate to lessen turbulence of mind/body.   You replace upward facing dog pose with cobra which tends to be less stimulating and find new things to work on in this pose like grounding through the pelvis and lengthening the spine. You appreciate the effects of the pose in a new way metaphorically opening the heart and mind.

Smart: If you feel heavy in heart and mind, movement may be best to promote rajas and shift your perspective. If you lean towards a tamasic state you may need encouragement to get on your mat. I suggest embracing the routine of practicing every day even a short, simple standing flow. Asking a friend to hold you accountable may help. A commitment to move may be the first step in creating a mental shift in your life.

There are many techniques you can adopt to create awareness and stay smart in your practice rather than automatically going through the motions. Mindfulness and awareness can help us move towards sattva as we sense the deeper connection of mind/body and breath. What happens when you switch the inhale and exhale with cat/cow for example? Can you achieve a pose from a different way and explore its effects on your breath or body. The cues you give yourself are often more effective than the actual poses you choose for fostering awareness and balance.

Develop awareness on the mat and then utilize these concepts in your life

We often don’t consider our busy lives as being unsafe – especially in our goal-directed society. A perpetual state of go-go-go becomes unsafe when it begins to impact our emotional stability, relationships and our health. A sedentary life (mentally and/or physically) is also unsafe if it cultivates a closed and opinionated view of life.   Your yoga practice can provide tools for finding balance and serenity in a stress-full life. Keeping yourself safe on the mat involves introspection, mindfulness, awareness and curiosity which aren’t easily accessible if you function too high or low energetically. Realizing the subtle fluctuations of your nervous system can empower you to modify your practice and your life with the goal of sattva or unity of mind, body and spirit.   What do you need today? Only you know how to keep your yoga smart and safe.

I would love to hear comments of how your practice helped you move towards or away from a balanced state. How do you address balance in your practice and what guides those decisions?

    Thank you for the thought full article regarding the gunas and how to use them to promote living in balance. I’ve been taught several different models for the gunas and I think the model of the sine wave is perfect – it’s simple and it makes sense!

      Thank you for commenting Diane! It helped me to imagine a sine wave as we fluctuate so often. Its not realistic to think that we can stay in perfect balance at all times, but having awareness of which side of the line we tend to fall can be helpful in reestablishing peace of mind in our lives.

Sly & Robbie w/ Taxi Gang

Sly & Robbie w/ Taxi Gang
March 08, 2004 07:51PM
Did anyone get to see Sly & Robbie w/ Taxi Gang at one of the California Bob Marley Day shows? They started off inna dub session for an hour or so and then showcased several young artists for 1-2 songs each. Alas, Big Youth came out and for about an hour long set. In short, these guys laid down the most Boss heavy vibes and deep, deep space-bass lines I ever heard at the Warfield. The fact that they had a brass section along for good measure definitely put the show over the top. It was nice to hear the riddim twins back someone other than Michael Rose for a change. Sierra fest would be very well served getting the Taxi gang to come lay down a bionic dub session and then back whomever - I dont care who. It would be hard for anyone to sound bad with the S&R sound bubbling along behind them. Heck, Warren & Gretchen could get up on stage, do a set and be stars. Anyhow, just my 2 cents.

Peter metro him ahhh Celebrity!! I am glad to hear someone talking about Metro. I love his style and have yet to see him. I missed comming back to California last summer for Old School reggae jam in Long Beach. Peter Metro would be a great addition to any festival. He needs some new tunes though before making a comeback.

First Nations Kelowna shell game
(en francais)

Kelowna Accord
5 years - $5.1 billion targeted to the following categories:

1. Education
3. Health
Housing and Infrastructure
Economic Opportunities
Relationships and Accountability

Let's be quite clear about exactly what the Kelowna accord was. It was an agreement to fund initiatives under the broad categories listed above. None of the funding was allocated by the Liberals and while the accord talks alot about a "plan", this was to be developed by all signatories over the coming months and years. The actual accord is 19 pages of broad strokes and vague targets. Does anyone actually believe 19 pages is an appropriate plan to spend $5.1 billion dollars?

Now let's look at what Finance Minister Jim Flaherty delivered in today's budget:
Helping Aboriginal Communities
A New Approach

Government of Canada spending on programs directed towards Aboriginal people, including claims, has increased to $9.1 billion in 2005–06 from $7.4 billion in 2000–01, an average annual increase of 4.3 per cent. While federal programs targeted to Aboriginal Canadians have reduced disparities between Aboriginal people and other Canadians, unacceptable gaps remain.

The Government is committed to meeting the targets agreed upon at the fall 2005 First Ministers meeting with national Aboriginal leaders. The way forward will require a joint commitment by all parties to deal with the root causes and structural issues causing these socio-economic gaps.

The Government will work with Aboriginal leaders and provinces and territories to develop a new approach with workable solutions to meet the established targets. Strong accountability and governance structures will be essential to ensure concrete improvements in outcomes and to ensure programs are effective. This budget provides $150 million in 2006–07 and $300 million in 2007–08 for the following priority areas:

Education: Although Aboriginal students have made significant gains in educational attainment over the past two decades, the Government is committed to improving Aboriginal education outcomes as this is key to eliminating the socio-economic gap.

Women, Children and Families: The Government recognizes the pivotal roles that Aboriginal women play within their families and their communities and in improving socio-economic outcomes.

Water and Housing: Aboriginal Canadians living on reserve suffer from a severe housing shortage and a backlog in the renovation of current units. Many do not have access to clean and safe drinking water. To properly address these fundamental needs, it is essential to consider innovative solutions that could help address this chronic situation over the longer term.

Details concerning initiatives will be provided by the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development in the coming months.
Addressing the Legacy of Residential Schools

The Government is committed to honouring the Agreement-in-Principle reached on November 20, 2005, with the legal counsel for former Indian residential school students, the churches, the Assembly of First Nations and other Aboriginal organizations.

In anticipation of a final agreement, $2.2 billion has been set aside for the common experience payments and for other programmatic elements such as healing and commemoration. In addition, provision has been made in anticipation of an improved Independent Assessment Process to address claims of serious abuse in the Indian residential school system, which would replace the current Dispute Resolution Framework. Compensation through the Independent Assessment Process would in all cases be paid by the Government following validation by an independent adjudicator.

The Government believes that this financial recognition of the often negative impact of the residential school experience, buttressed by support programs and compensation for those who suffered harm, will help former students to build a better future for themselves and their families in communities across Canada. Programs and activities devoted to truth and reconciliation and commemoration of the residential school experience should lead to a broader understanding among all Canadians of the impacts of the Indian residential school system.
Off-Reserve Aboriginal Housing

In order to help provinces address short-term pressures with regard to the housing needs of Aboriginal Canadians living off reserve, the Government is providing a one-time payment of $300 million, to be paid into a third-party trust, contingent on sufficient funds from the 2005–06 surplus in excess of $2 billion. The Off-Reserve Aboriginal Housing Trust will support investments to increase the supply of rental housing and enhance home ownership opportunities for Aboriginal Canadians living off reserve.

Pending confirmation in fall 2006 of the Government of Canada's financial results for 2005–06, funding will be distributed to provinces based on their share of the Aboriginal population living off reserve and notionally allocated over three years.
Affordable Housing in the Territories

The pressures on housing in the territories, where many Aboriginal Canadians live, are particularly acute. In order to help the territories address short-term affordable housing pressures, the Government is providing a one-time payment of $300 million, to be paid into a third-party trust, contingent on sufficient funds from the 2005–06 surplus in excess of $2 billion. The Northern Housing Trust will support investments to increase the supply of affordable housing, including rental, transitional and supportive housing in the territories.

Pending confirmation in fall 2006 of the Government of Canada's financial results for 2005–06, funding will be notionally allocated over three years and distributed among the three territories as follows: $50 million each for the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, plus an additional $150 million for urgent needs in Nunavut.

More details on the two trusts can be found in the section entitled "Restoring Fiscal Balance in Canada."

In total, Budget 2006 confirms funding of over $3 billion in support of Aboriginal Canadians.
Aboriginal Communities
A new approach: priorities $450 million
  • Education
  • Women, children and families
  • Water and housing

Addressing the legacy of residential schools $2,200 million
Off-reserve Aboriginal housing $300 million

Affordable housing in the territories $300 million
Total $3,250 million

Excluding the residential school payments, that adds up to $1.05 billion out of the 5 year, $5.1 billion committed to in the Kelowna accord.

Along with the above is the clear statement:
"The Government is committed to meeting the targets agreed upon at the fall 2005 First Ministers meeting with national Aboriginal leaders."
So what is the response from First Nations:
"First Nations will remain in last place as a result of today's so-called "Building a Better Canada" federal budget. This disappointing budget does not begin to address the gap in quality of life between First Nations and other Canadians and could increase the gap through inaction." -- Phil Fontaine, Assembly of First Nations

"Despite years of hard work and great progress as we experienced with the previous government, Stephen Harper's Conservatives have not stood up for the Métis Nation. It is not acceptable to ignore the years of work which lead to last November's historic signing of the $5.1 billion dollar Kelowna Accord. The accord was endorsed by all provinces, territories and national Aborigional organizations and yet, despite receiving clear support for this investment and record federal surpluses, this new government has not made the welfare of Canada's first peoples and in particular, the Métis Nation, a priority." -- Métis Nation

"Our fear, suspicion and mistrust of (the) Conservative government to support the historic Kelowna Accord were well placed," said Chief Stewart Phillip, head of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs. "Today, aboriginal people across Canada learned that Prime Minister (Stephen) Harper has a wooden heart to match his wooden smile."
Do First Nations want to continue generating self-gratifying headlines or actually work with the Conservative government towards fulfilling the commitments of Kelowna. The Liberal method of dumping loads of money on a problem along with fuzzy goals and targets no longer exists.

The Conservative government will be developing specific programs with clear goals and reporting mechanisms, much like the Plan of Action for Drinking Water. Over the last 12 years $2.5 billion was spent on aboriginal drinking water systems and yet 75% of reserves have water related problems and over 100 reserves are under boil water advisories. The Liberal shotgun approach to spreading money no longer rules in Ottawa.

Drama in the village, today!!

On the very day that Tesco have FINALLY* started work on their new store, a car smashes into a shop on the very corner where the shopkeepers are worried that their shops will die because of the new nearby Tesco..
... Well, that sure ain't a Tesco that's smashed through your window!!

It's about sodding time they started work on the new Tesco store. I was still working when they were arguing about the whole bloody thing!!

Current Little Lever Headlines!!

Tesco Frenzy!

Work on Tesco has begun, as can be seen here..

Granted, that's a crappy photo, but... Oooh, a Crane!! Yeay!!
The nice big new larger Tesco store should be opening (I've heard) some time around July. Hopefully they have many nice Noodles, so I don't have to keep ordering from Amazon every month!!

Inside the new-look KwikSave, there's now a Subway! It's got a nice counter, and 3 little tables, each with 4 seats.
It's like having a proper little Subway, except it's inside a mini-supermarket, which is the oddest thing you've ever seen..
People sitting eating subs, right next to the people queuing up for Cigs, Bleach and Toilet Rolls, whilst more people pay their Council Tax bills because there's no local council office anymore, and they all have to do it through PayPoint!!!
FFS, that one shop's the hub of the community!! At least they know they're safe once the new larger Tesco turns up.

No More .info

When I got out of hospital, I expected that LittleLever.info would be one of my haunts, since I'm sitting around with nothing much else going on.
Unfortunately, the forum was dead.
The whole "Tesco-Gate!" stuff caused a major falling out on the forum, and the entire community broke up as a result. By the time I'd had my stint in hospital, the community was all but gone.
I tried my best to get people chatting, but.. .. Nope.. Didn't happen.
The site owners had vanished, quite where, I don't know, and everything's been downhill since then.
It's a shame that the community's forum has been left to rot. It was a nice community when it first appeared.
Today, the domain finally expired.
It'll be a shame to see it go.
I hate to see communities disbanded for no good reason.
I oughta do something about that.

We had some looney crash into the furniture shop at the slowest speed in reverse last month. Glad they didn't attempt to park in front of Refresh! They wrecked the shops windows then ran away, possibly out of embarrasment more than anything else. Crazy drivin peeps. In a mini. A mini of all things!

Only a couple of months, now, until the New Tesco opens in the village.
The roadworks are mostly done, and the building work's finished.

All that's left is to "Tesco-ize" the thing. Tesco staff have been "Given the keys", today, and are now in the process of making everything a bit more Tesco'y.
Apparently it's still going to be another couple of months before it opens, though, so there'll be plenty of time for the angry anti-tesco mobs to resurface and start complaining about "OMG! ALL TEH TRAFIKS!!!"

*sigh* Such anger!

....so, the Tesco opened, today.
I'd've taken a few pics, but .. .. Yeah.. Not gonna happen!!

We managed a short stroll of the new store. Just a couple of aisles. It's a fairly substantial store. A lot larger than I expected. A nice aisle with dvds, books and a few select small electricals. (Freeview boxes, speakers, kettles, toasters, that sort of thing.)
But we didn't get all the way around the store. .. Mostly because every time wr turned around, there was another person who knew rither me (as "James from the shop") or Mum (from Bingo!)
Lots of stopping, chatting, and discussions about Nan.

So.. Yeah, we kinda gave up. Not even halfway around the store, either! Just said "ok, that'll do" and came home again.

Nice to have a big shop within "stroll" distance.

Two thumbs up!

Another play kitchen:)

So, I am not much of a cook and don't spend too much time in the kitchen so I find it kind of funny that I have been making play kitchens for kids!   Maybe if I had one when I was little I would like cooking now?
 But some youngster is going to be very happy:)

I am not sure of the purpose of the boxes on the top of this unit, but I pulled them off, shaved a little off each side and hung them on the inside of the shelf.  Perhaps a place to put spices...or you know...other kitchen kind of thingies.

Kitchen comes with a real faucet and stainless steel sink...a.k.a... a dog dish.

I finally found a use for all those CD's I bought intending to burn some music and jam out while spinning!  LOL!

On to another adventure...headed out to pick 3 barns on Tuesday.  Can't wait to see what treasures will reveal themselves to me:)

Until then...
Pick on!

Christmas Creations

As I am gearing up for the holiday season I finally found a project I liked enough to break out my STASH of mattress springs salvaged from a mattress box spring Julia and I drug home from the dump!

Made from vintage jewelry such as a pocket watch, earrings and necklaces.

Made from vintage buttons and an angel brooch.

At the store we have STACKS of weathered pickets from the Oxarango Sheep Ranch in Rupert.  Here is my first creation from our abundant supply.

More projects for the holidays.
Made from a salvaged newel post and couch pediments.

                                     Just a few banners I whipped up for the Christmas season.

I actually made these about 10 years ago from old corn cobs.  They have held up pretty well sitting in their box for all those years.

And lastly, here's a way to reuse those orphan drawers and get yourself organized:)

Keep on Pickin'

It has been a week of dressers.  I have had these stacked in my garage all summer and finally got a chance to work on them.  With all the cool ideas running around on Pinterest I had some deciding to do.
One of several dressers I had which was missing a drawer.
This dresser was one that I was alerted about. (Sorry no before photo)  It was just sitting in a dumpster waiting for a home.  It was falling apart and missing 2 drawers but I knew it had potential.

Since this dresser/TV stand sold in about an HOUR I decided to stick with the color and stencil pattern for a couple more pieces.
1950's desk and dresser to match

Another dresser with a broken drawer.

Lastly, my new FaVOriTe, an 1880's  Eastlake Victorian beauty, came to me in at least 15 pieces.   All the drawers had fallen apart and it had NO hardware. Not to mention...the top was missing and originally was probably a marble top. There goes my budget, even if I did get it for $15!

It was quite a large project for me to take on. Normally I don't take time to restore furniture because it takes more time, energy, and $$$$$.   But THIS one was going to be worth it I just knew.
 Most of the wood was in good condition, it had wooden key escutcheons for keys and the drawers had lovely scallop edging.
I was able to reassemble it, strip it and refinish it without much problem.  I bought the hardware on ebay and though it isn't an exact match (I saw the outline of the original hardware which indicated it had a diamond backplate and loop handle) it looks great.!

Since my budget did not allow for real marble, I went ahead and FAUX painted a piece of plywood.  I must admit I am happy with the results and have decided to keep it for myself:)

Good Pickin'

Davis Guggenheim: Need to Be Quicker on Your Feet, Bro

by Sonny Bunch on March 9, 2012

There is an awkward—painfully awkward—video from CNN in which Piers Morgan openly mocks Davis Guggenheim, the auteur behind a 17 minute Obama commercial documentary, for being unable to mount a single criticism of the president other than “He’s done too much awesome shit for me to condense into a 17 minute hagiography.” Seriously. Read the transcript. Watch the video. It’s brutal.

Now, I’m not going to concern-troll the left; I’ll just point out that there are valid critiques a person coming from that perspective could levy. (Gitmo, drone strikes, etc.) I’m much more concerned with Davis Guggenheim, a talented director who is remarkably slow on his feet. The guy’s no slouch behind the camera: He directed a couple of my favorite episodes of Deadwood, including “Reconnoitering the Rim,” and produced the first season. He directed a great episode of The Shield (“Coyotes”). He filmed the unaired pilot of The Unit, which I still contend is one of only two or three cultural products to really get the war on terror. And he directed the school reform documentary Waiting for Superman, which takes apart corrupt teachers unions that are failing our kids and puts a human face on the education reform movement. Not a bad body of work.

These successes make it all the more unfortunate when he dons his leftist hat. He’s a cut-rate Michael Moore—too mushy, less visual verve—and the role just doesn’t suit him. An Inconvenient Truth is nothing if not blah…and I hope he got paid good money for this Obama campaign ad documentary.

I get the sense that he’s just not very good at this sort of thing; he’s a liberal, sure, but he doesn’t really have an instinct for politics and doesn’t know how to go in for the kill. He doesn’t breathe politics like a Moore. Instead of doing what’s easy or comfortable—and nothing in Hollywood is more easy or comfortable than boilerplate liberal claptrap—it’d be nice to see him doing stuff that’s, well, good. We’ve seen he has it in him.

“He filmed the unaired pilot of The Unit, which I still contend is one of only two or three cultural products to really get the war on terror. ”

I’d love to hear more about this. I really liked the show, for all of its strange tics.

Sonny Bunch March 9, 2012 at 5:09 pm

I reviewed the pilot six years ago:

The show went sharply downhill when the ditched the militarist opening theme for the poppier number. (I mean, that didn’t have anything to do with it; that’s just when I remember it hitting the skids.)

Klug March 9, 2012 at 5:19 pm

Oh, yes. Very true. My wife comments on that, every time we watch reruns.

Week 1 School Board

I finally finished our Week 1 School Board, but I think this will be used for Week 2 as well.  Since we only have school 3 days a week because I work part-time, I think I'll stretch out over 2 weeks instead of trying to push everything into one week.  Less stress for me.

Here is our Week 1 School Board:

Letter: I i
Shape: Circle
Color: Black (Biblical Meaning = SIN)
Number: 1, One, Biblical Meaning = Beginning
Vocab Word: Indian
Verse: Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Sound: "-ig" (attached reading words with the pictures underneath)

We use our board as part of our circle time to introduce the main points of learning for the week.  At the end of the week, I give an assessment test to see how much my little guy remembered of the board and the activities we did to get an idea of what we need to work on more.  Primarily we concentrate on recognition, identification, spelling, reading, and memorizing.

Our vocab words change each work with the letter we study, since we are using Abeka curriculum this year, the vocab word is "indian".  He learned a sentence, "Capital I. Little i. The i says "i" as in indian."  Then I work on spelling of the vocab word with different activities, like file folder games or hangman or seek and find or scrabble words, etc.  We also do discussion time around "indians" or Native Americans, where we will learn what type of homes they lived in, their musical cultural importance, and we'll talk about their way of life - hunting and foods they ate, clothes they wore, etc.

Since we will be working more on reading this year, our sound of the week is the "ig" word family.  I printed up "ig" words and put corresponding pictures underneath the word.  I did it this way because my son can read 3 and 4 letter words on his own, but I wanted him to actually read the word, not just associate the word with the picture.  So, this way he sounds out the word, reads it, then lifts it up to see if the picture matches what he read.  He loves this, as it gave him a challenge!

Do you create or use a pre-made board for circle time? Please feel free to share!

Have Fun and Be a Blessing!

Exorcism (1979) - Thiller (erotic?)

Exocism (L'éventreur de Notre-Dame) (1979) - Jesus Franco is renown for euro-erotica and here he does not disappoint with a tale of religious murder and erotic performance art. Stepping into the role of Father Mathis Vogel he is a psychopathic killer who prays on sinners in the harshest terms.When the order was put in I was doing a lot of exorcism movies, and added this to the queue by the name "Exorcism" only not knowing anything about the film. It is the story of a lesbian couple who do pseudo black masses, erotic bondage art show pieces while the audience feel each other up.
Mistaken as a real black mass Father Vogel looks to exorcise the demons from those participating. Working his way from local participating prostitute to main or secondary characters he kills several lovely cast members, Lina Romay, Catherine Lafferiere, Nadine Pascal and Monica Swinn are all subject to his demented religious fanaticism. When the inept police finally catch up to him there is quite a body count.
There is a strange mix of religious dogma and erotic lifestyles in this with Vogel often needing the female victims nude before saving their souls by taking their lives. He is disturbed and is played well by Franco. Being a sleaze-fest we see lesbian love scenes, bondage erotic performance art, a group orgy which is a bunch of hairy people rubbing each others legs.
The treatment of women by the killer is degrading and the women barely resist. Men are unable to stop him with the police a full couple steps behind the killer. It was amazing how many times the killer just walks into a house without being seen. As a thriller it does not really work since there does not seem to be a sense that the police are ever closing in on the killer. Nor does the killer ever worry about being caught, lost in his own delusional world where he is turned on and repelled by sexuality.
Rating (4.3) 5 + are recommended, in the Zombiegrrlz system I would say Skip It!

Self Portrait Day 2011

So, it's Nov 1st, and another self portrait day.

Note how I have leaned forward to get rid of excess skin and wrinkles. Also, when drawing from a mirror and you're flipping  your canvas, it's hard to flip your mirror. I kept flipping it, but even though my mirror has two sides, it's just small size on one side and big size on the other, no horizontal flipping... ;)

So I ended up doing some photos as well. After a bit of liquifying and colour adjustment, this is what I have. It's soon midnight, so I have to post it. Used about three hours. I prolly should've had a better result than that within that time limit, but hell, at least it kind of looks like me. :)

Fear in Writing: Are people still doing this?

Are people still doing this?

Aside from a few technical changes, Blogger looks the same. My page needs updating, but the links still work. Other people are currently updating their blogs. But mine sat dormant for three years.

Three years.

Where have I been? You probably aren't interested, but I will tell you anyway. I have been working in the real world. I am a TV News Producer by trade and took a job producing morning newscasts.

But that is over and the world is new again. So maybe something old can be new again here, too. Maybe a return to blogging and online interaction is just what I need. Maybe...

So hello again! In a way, I have missed you. What shall we talk about? Do I want to get literary again? Do I want to change the subject? The title?

We shall see.

Hello, again.

The family Bunch

I researched the Bunch family of South Georgia and Florida for my Dad's cousin Hubert Horne about 4 years ago. His father's middle name was Bunch and his great grandmother was named Eleanor Marzenah Bunch.

Hubert had heard that she was a full blood Cherokee Indian and he wanted to know if this was true. I spent several months researching her family. I determined she may have had some Indian ancestor in her line but she was not full blooded and had more Caucasian blood than anything else.

While researching the family name I came across several references to the Bunch family name. The most interesting part was the Bunch family living in East Tennessee. As far as I can tell they aren't related to Hubert's family.

The East Tennessee Bunch family are part of the Melungeons. I never mentioned this to Hubert because although he wanted to find out about an Indian connection in his family line, a story about African relatives would not have gone over well.

The more I read about the Melungeons the more fascinating the story becomes. They are generally known as a mixed race group of people who live in East Tennessee and Western Virginia.

Some say they are descendants of early Portuguese explorers, some same they are the original Native Americans others say they came from slaves who were granted their freedom before the American Revolution.

They were called Mulatto on early census records but today are generally considered Caucasian. They were the subject of a organized hunt by Virginia's Bureau of Vital Statistics in the 1940s to weed out "mongrels" who were trying to pass as white.

There are a couple genealogist who are doing DNA testing on the family surnames so maybe the mystery will be solved soon as to where they came from.
