Cris Dosev, a Congressional candidate in the Florida panhandle, likes to compare himself to President Donald Trump, telling audiences he's a businessman taking on the political establishment. "Thank you for the endorsement, Mr. Trump," he jokes.

Problem is, Dosev's running in the GOP primary against Rep. Matt Gaetz, who so avidly defends Trump on Fox News that he gets phone calls from the president. "I couldn't possibly crawl up Mr. Trump's rear end any deeper than this guy has," Dosev said.

But the real estate developer and former Marine officer from Pensacola is doing his best to channel Trump, relentlessly trolling his rival on Twitter, calling Gaetz a "Fake Warrior" and insisting to voters he's more in step with the president. Making his second run for office, Dosev has learned from Trump to keep things simple and punchy while playing up an outsider image right down to vows to "drain the swamp."

"I have to create the stir," Dosev, 56, said in an interview. "You can parallel that to what Trump did. It's a bit refreshing."

Republican candidates in Florida — like those across the country — are mimicking Trump's bombast and emphasizing their fidelity to him, underscoring the president's sky-high popularity among the base and a yearning for fighters against the political system. Bedrock issues like fiscal responsibility and gun rights have become secondary to Trumpism.

The president remains controversial and has polarized the country, but his approval rating among Republicans is near 90 percent nationally. He has remade the GOP.

"How far we have come from when Republicans were sneering and looking their noses down at our nominee," said Gaetz. "Now that the Republican Party is very much Donald Trump's party, you see less focus on ideology and more focus on tribalism, who has the guts to take people on.

"In Donald Trump's America," Gaetz added, "candidates are rewarded when they bring it."

Candidates are filling Twitter feeds with more aggressive rhetoric and dropping #MAGA hashtags like they used to reference Ronald Reagan.

"I used to hate what Trump tweeted," said Terry Power, a political novice who credits Trump for inspiring him to run for office and is challenging Republican state Rep. Jamie Grant of Tampa. "Then I realized the complete genius in what he's doing. He's able to get his message directly to voters without being filtered through the mainstream media and others who will put a spin on it."

Power, 60, has used Twitter to flog "con man" Grant over business ethics and questioned his fidelity to the president, noting the lawmaker supported Jeb Bush then Marco Rubio in the presidential primary. "I was all in for @realDonaldTrump from the minute he came down the escalator," Power wrote recently.

Javier Manjarres, a Republican hoping to take on U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Boca Raton, has tried to gain notice with Trump inspired nicknames —"Lyin' Ted," "Terrified Ted," "Late Term Ted, "Open Borders Ted" — and provocative views on issues. Last week he incited controversy by tweeting at the father of a Parkland shooting victim to stop "exploiting" her death by calling for gun control.

Manjarres, who runs the Shark Tank political site, said he's always been unguarded but Trump has made it easier. "People want someone who's not afraid to speak their mind. They want plain talk."

Trump is a heavy force in the Republican gubernatorial primary between Ron DeSantis, whom the president has endorsed, and Adam Putnam, aka "Amnesty Adam," as DeSantis has called him over past immigration views. Putnam has adopted Trump's harder line on immigration, trade and other issues and has his own Trump like slogan — Florida First.

During their recent Fox News debate, where Trump and his policies dominated the discussion instead of state issues, DeSantis appeared to mimic some of the president's hand gestures, touching his pointer finger to his thumb in an "okay" symbol, moving his hands back and forth in a parallel motion (as if playing an accordion) and pointing when making a forceful argument.

At a recent DeSantis campaign event in Tampa, the audience revived one of the mainstays of Trump rallies, chanting "lock her up."

The phenomenon is playing out across the country. In Indiana's Republican U.S. Senate primary, a candidate ran a TV ad in which he pulled a red Make America Great Again cap from his back pocket and slid it on.

Another contender touted how he supported a push to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for dealings with North Korea. The winner, Mike Braun, is a businessman who blasted his rivals, both members of Congress, as "swamp creatures" and said he was running "because President Trump paved the way."

In West Virginia, Senate candidate Don Blankenship ran an ad that said, "We don't need to investigate our president. We need to arrest Hillary."

(The ad featured a snippet of Fox Business Network featuring DeSantis, who, like Gaetz, has grown his profile with repeated appearances that are decidedly pro-Trump.)

There are limits to how far Republican candidates will embrace Trump. Gov. Rick Scott faces token opposition for the nomination to challenge U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson and has been running a general election campaign that has whitewashed his ties to the president.

But with the Aug. 28 primary approaching, expect to see more Trumpism. Political consultants are working against the trend.

"I've got candidates all of a sudden wanting to be on Twitter. I say, 'Your Twitter account in northwest Florida doesn't mean squat. Put it down and go knock on some damn doors,' " said GOP consultant Alex Patton of Gainesville.

"People have a level of expectation out of candidates that Trump is somehow exempt from," said Brett Doster, who runs Republican campaigns across Florida and is coaching candidates to be themselves. "People tend to judge him more as an entertainer or figure that goes beyond politics so he just gets away with things."

Candidates, he added, "have to be very, very careful about it."

"People want positive feelings from a candidate," said state Rep. Joe Gruters, who was co-chairman of Trump's Florida campaign and is now running for state Senate. "Donald Trump is one and only. He developed his own brand through his TV show and other avenues that no one can emulate. Candidates will try, but I would never do it because I think it turns people off."

There's no better example than Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who ran for president in 2016 and tangled hard with Trump late in the primaries. Rubio tried to match Trump's style, mocking him for the size of his hands (code for another part of the anatomy), his misspellings and suggesting he wet himself during a debate.

The idea was to grab some of the media attention Trump's antics consumed, but it backfired miserably, diminishing Rubio's optimistic image. He later expressed regret.

A safer step among Republicans— and one being adopted widely across Florida and in other states — is to express solidarity with the president. GOP primaries are being dominated by fights over who is the more pure Trump supporter.

John Ward, who is running to replace DeSantis in Congress, recently ran a campaign ad attacking a rival, Michael Waltz, as a "never-Trumper" because he appeared in a 2016 advocacy group ad criticizing Trump. "Don't let Trump fool you," Waltz says.

Waltz responds that while Trump was not his first choice, he supported him as the nominee and thinks the president is doing a "fantastic job.". In a recent ad, the former Green Beret says, "It's time we send reinforcements to Congress for President Trump."

Tim Baker, a strategist who advises Waltz, said focus groups show Republican voters are drawn not to the Trump style per se, but what it represents.

"Conservatives feel under fire. They feel like the culture mocks them, the media mocks them and a lot of Republican leaders in the past have not been as aggressive in standing up and being unabashed. That's what Trump encompasses."

These voters can see through someone trying to act like Trump, he added, but are drawn to a fighter. "That's where the voters are right now — prove it."

A similar battle is playing out in the race to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross of Lakeland. Neil Combee, a former state legislator, has promoted himself as "the only candidate trusted by President Trump to Make America Great Again by serving in his administration," alluding to a USDA post. But last week, Combee came under attack from an anonymous website that recalled 2016 criticism he made of Trump.

Another candidate, state Rep. Ross Spano, hammers home the Trump focus on his own site. Under a section labeled "important issues," are a number of red boxes labeled "life" and "Second Amendment" and "immigration."

But the first one reads, "President Trump."

Times staff writers Emily L. Mahoney and Steve Contorno contributed to this report.

Case Half Right Nearly Complete

When figuring out how to properly machine these cases for repeatability, keep in mind that there are three main factors we have to contend with:

1. We need to preserve the fidelity of the feature in question. This means that if we are making a threaded hole, for example, that the dimensions of the hole, the thread pitch, and the location of the hole on the casting have to be perfect. Obviously.

2. We need to preserve the repeatability of this feature by accurately programming it into the machining model so it can be duplicated over and over again.

3. We need to accommodate the limitations of the machine. We are dealing here with an extremely high end 5 Axis mill, but it has dimensional limitations that have to be observed and accommodated.

These three items are what take so much time, and this process would be very different if we were using another machine, and would be different even if another type of 5 axis would be used. So we are tailoring the machine model to the machine we have.

A machined case half in four easy steps….

That is the goal, anyways. We are diligently working to machine each case half in FOUR operations. Two on the one side, two on the other side. You’re probably asking  – what about the ends?

Well, we have adapted our machining model such that it works on a 5 axis machine, therefore there are only four “setups” or operations. The ends get taken care of during one of the four operations.

As usual, tons of handwritten notes and measurements. To say this is a complicated job is an understatement, but we are getting there.

New Product – Billet oil filter console

Whether you’re running a engine mounted oil cooler or one of the factory oil filter consoles, you’ll want to take a look at my new billet oil filter console. For starters, it looks amazing, quite unlike the factory offerings.

From a function standpoint, I have a big problem with the existing solutions. Not only is the engine mounted oil cooler pretty ineffective at actually cooling the motor, it doesn’t exist in the 964 / 993 models, so what does that tell you about it’s usefulness.

Filter console options are also limited; there are unicorns like the 959 and 965 filter consoles which aren’t available, leaving you with the sole option of using the 993 console which leaves much to be desired.

For starters, the 993 console doesn’t include the return line in the same fitting; Porsche makes you buy a separate widget to attach the incoming line. Additionally, the 993 console places the filter hanging vertically down, which makes it a bear to actually replace the filter.

My console angles the filter like the unobtainum 965 console, but not only that, it includes a female connector for a -16AN line so that you don’t have to attach multiple pieces. You get a clean install, a beautiful looking product rendered in aircraft grade aluminum, and you get a filter that’s easy to change and access.

If you’re looking to add a filter to your pressure circuit like the later cars, this is the one you want.

Doesn’t require modification of your engine tin (or anything else for that matter). You will, however, need to do something with the early fan shroud which has a duct specifically for the engine mounted oil cooler. We suggest blocking it off, or switching to a late shroud.

Price – $395, available now:

Introducing my new Patent Pending Rebuildable piston squirter

What I have to show you is my rebuildable piston squirter – this model is for retrofit to existing Porsche 911 cases. One of my other patents integrates the squirter assembly right into the case itself, which is the ideal solution, but this one here works basically as good.

I have rebuilt many Porsche engines and I am convinced Porsche never really gave much thought to rebuilding the motors. They are a new car company; I get it. But how many of these squirters are inoperative when you go to rebuild? How many don’t really pass the compressed air test? How can you really know if the insides of the squirter barrels are clean, and free of any debris?

That’s a lot of questions. Too many for my liking. I got sick thinking of not being able to access the insides of the squirters when building a really expensive motor, so I decided to fix it.

My requirements were as follows:
1. I did not want to have to tap the case or modify the case in any way. Whereas I am very comfortable modifying the case, I wanted to cater to the lowest level of home mechanic.

2. I needed to get at the complete inside of the squirter barrel so I could visually see what was inside.

3. I wanted to be able to rebuild the squirter without removing the barrel from the case.

4. I wanted the same performance as stock – meaning, leave the check valve in there to preserve idle oil pressure.

What I achieved was a steel barrel which is a light press fit into the case. This barrel has a cap, and the insides of the barrel contain the spring and the ball, just like stock. [img][/img]

The advantages of my squirter over a stock one are:
– ability to change the orifice size on the cap on the fly for more or less flow
– completely rebuildable and inspectable
– much easier to install than a stock unit

Which brings me to my next point. What is holding this thing in the case. I already know I am going to get many people who doubt the adhesive, but I am 100% comfortable with it.

The adhesive in question is Loctite 640, and its properties for adhering cylindrical bodies together are legendary. Take a look at the spec sheet for this product and you’ll see that it was tested for over 1000 hours in a bath of engine oil at 250 degrees and it did not lose an iota of strength.

Staking these things is not necessary; the factory did it because they were paranoid. In fact, a press fit is not necessary either, but I recommend it as an added, if unneeded measure of safety.

Lastly, we come to orifice sizing. Stock sizes are as follows:

911 – 1.0mm
930 – 1.5mm
964 – 2.0mm

Because the internal dimensions of my squirters are different than stock, my orifice sizing needs to go up 1/2mm to ensure the same flow as stock. Don’t worry, this was all extensively tested.

So my recommended sizes are:

911 – 1.5mm
930 – 2.0mm
964 – 2.5mm

Also, note that there are two barrel diameters available, just like stock. 6.0mm is the one you want if your squirter bores are real nice. If you buggered up your squirter hole, we make a 6.6mm oversize just like the factory.

Prices are $45 each, which includes the barrel, cap, spring, and ball. You’ll be able to order them off my site soon, until then drop me a PM.

Oh, and here is a video that explains the installation much better than this wall of text!

Let me know what you guys think!

Well, we’re running behind….

It looks like we won’t be able to meet the schedule posted in the last post. Making the casting is one thing, but the machining is proving to be a major area of focus right now.

In some respects the casting is the easy part, although thus far nothing in this journey has been easy. The reason why I say the casting was the easy part is that there is a lot of extra meat on the casting, which of course needs to be machined off. This extra meat makes the casting somewhat more forgiving to make.

The machining, by contrast, has to be ultra precise. To that end, we have rejected many of the machining methods used to machine the case, and even rejected many of the machines themselves. Originally, we were going to machine the cases with a combination of vertical CNC mills and CNC lathes. That idea has proved itself to require too many setups, which affect the repeatability and the accuracy.

We have now realized that the machines we had access to won’t be appropriate for mass production, and so have decided to use a combination of large horizontal CNC mills and a 5 axis Vertical CNC mill.

These machines can machine our part with fewer setups, and less movement of the part than the machines we had access to, which will of course result in a more accurate part, and more importantly, a more consistent part.

Thanks for your patience as we endlessly fiddle with this, and rest easy in the thought that once we nail the routine down, the actual production of the cases will be elementary….

Machine model complete

Once again all of our hard work has paid off in the form of what is arguably the most accurate model of a flat 6 engine case out there. Recall that we started with a 50 micron scan of an actual Porsche case. From there, we developed a Solidworks model. But just having the model in Solidworks doesn’t really finish the job.

From there, we needed to take the original model and make a model suitable for creating a casting. A casting has draft, extra material, and all sorts of features that you won’t see on a finished case.

Of course, the casting model is of little use to the machinist, who has to create his own model that will be used to guide the tool path of the CNC machine which will remove all the metal that was added in the casting process. And in the end, it’s the machinist’s model that needs to be the most accurate, since there is essentially zero room for error.

It took us over 6 weeks to measure every last hole, nook and cranny on the case by hand and then compare it to the computer model to ensure accuracy. From there, a SurfCAM model was developed which gives us our tool paths for each case half.

This is also much harder than it would appear. Each case needs machining on all sides, and then both halves are bolted together and machined again where they need it, as well as line bored. This was an incredibly laborious process but I felt that being accurate was more important than being first to market. So thanks again for your patience.

From here, we are constructing the fixtures that will hold the case down for the various machining operations and text machine the first case halves. Tentative schedule is as follows:

November 1: both case halves machined on all sides. Create fixtures for gun drilling and line boring.

December 1: Produce a right and left case half capable of being built into a motor.

January 1, 2018: First Engine complete and operational.

Beta testing and customer deliveries to follow. The picture you are seeing below is  of the SurfCAM machining model.

Check, Check, and Recheck

Although significant time (and money) was spent to create what is probably the world’s most complete solidworks model of a Mezger engine case, that is simply not good enough to machine off of without triple checking everything. Sure, the scan was to 50 microns, but we need to be sure….SURE…that the dimensions are perfect before we start destroying perfectly good castings.

To that end, The Machinist is diligently confirming every single last little dimension on the model to the factory 3.6 case. It begins with a perfectly flat slab of granite with which to measure from; from there, reliable and repeatable baseline dimensions are pulled of the case and double checked with the model.

We also use conventional 2D drawings to make our notes on, and these are printed 1:1 scale so we can set the case right on top of them and jot down everything we find to be of importance.

The whole point here, just as with the tooling, is to come up with a prototype case that is very close to where we want to be. I’m not going to exaggerate and tell you it will be perfect from the get go, but all of these steps help to ensure that we have an accurate case pretty much from the start.  Nothing is left to chance. Nothing is assumed just because it has been scanned at 50 microns beforehand. That is not the way we roll here….

First CNC machining pass will happen in the first week of October.

While I wait…..

While I wait for the machinist to finish constructing the fixtures that will hold the case in place for machining, I am putting my 3.2 short stroke motor back together. It started life as a 3.0 in my 1983 SC, and was just tired all the way around.

Although I had the case halves soda blasted and hot tanked, it is still very hard to clean out the oil galleries. It is clear to me that Porsche never paid any thought to rebuilding these motors whatsoever. Here is what you will NOT be doing on my cases:

1. Taking JB weld and coating the outsides of all the aluminum plugs so they don’t leak. Not only is this a totally hack solution to an easily solvable problem, it looks like crap. My case has hex head plugs that can be removed and replaced. A little loctite will keep them in place and leak free.

2. Want to clean out your piston squirters, or verify they work? You need a tool like the (excellent) one from Stomski racing that fits in the case through bolt hole and shoots a jet of air up into the squirter. Alternately, you can rig something up, but it is still a hassle. How about just using removable squirters that unscrew???? Yeah, that’s what I said too.

3. Regardless of what the case looks like from the outside, there is no good way of ensuring the oil galleries are clean and clear without removing the plugs, which is a hassle. Usually you wind up spraying a gallon of carb cleaner through every hole you can see, then say a little prayer, and hope for the best. See point #1.

Also working on a new feature that will make it easy to separate the case halves without hammering or prying. My case should last forever, but if you need to open the motor because you a) dropped something in there b) forgot an oil pump seal, c) forgot to put the chains on the lay shaft and don’t want to use a master link, you’ll be able to split the case easily.

Most of the ideas I came up with were directly borne from building a ton of these engines myself. I hope that shows through in the final product.

Prototype #1

What you’re looking at is the first non factory prototype casting. It’s not perfect, and we know that, but for a first try, it is a remarkably good casting. We have some gating fixes to do and some other tweaks, but this casting has a purpose – it will help us set up the CNC routine for the machining. Overall, a great start!

Taylor Cox launch their second branch in West Oxfordshire

Date Added 19/03/2016

When founders Mark Taylor & Dale Cox launched Taylor Cox in 2015, the natural area of business was North Oxfordshire. With Mark`s contacts and Dale`s knowledge of the property market it was the obvious choice. But with the sudden growth of the business spreading far and wide and with the addition of local mortgage broker Chris Bishop, the desire for clients to use our services has taken Taylor Cox to Dale and Chris`s home town of Witney.

Raised in West Oxfordshire, Dale has worked within the local property market for a number of years and has seen life at the sharp end of both Sales, Lettings and Property Management. Frustrated by what he preserved as a lack of customer focus and individual needs being met, in 2015 he finally decided to use his local knowledge, expertise and experience to give the County a new - and most importantly - independent estate agency, Dale believes that being local to Oxfordshire, and independent from national chains is instrumental in bringing excellent results for his clients.

Dale is a man driven by strong personal ethics and this is reflected in his business ethos; transparent, honest and committed. He strives to ensure that he and his team make sure all their clients are looked after and supported in the long term with every aspect during their property journey.

A few comments from happy clients already helped in West Oxfordshire:

Mrs H – `Wow, a buyer already even before it went on the Internet. You really weren`t`t giving me a sales pitch when you told me that`

Mr B – `Dale, I didn`t`t think you would be able to achieve the asking price, let alone more`

Mr T – `Well done on the sale, good work. I believe you will be very successful in your venture, a good professional approach and a friendly service`

Ms S – `Thank you so much for all your help, without you and your advice we wouldn`t`t have been able to get the house we wanted (with another agent) or have a fantastic tenant`

Mrs G `We had a number of agents out to value my uncles home after his passing, and none were as professional or showed as much empathy as you did. Your personal manner made us feel at ease and the decision was easy`

To receive a friendly yet professional service from an independent agent who can provide a service which revolves around you, the client then call the team on 01993 83 55 88 or email info@taycox.com

The lived life of a school

Gurveen Kaur

How do different schools in India function today? What are children learning in these varied schools experiencing? What happens in a school apart from academic learning? It is these questions that the book, Ethnographies of Schooling in Contemporary India attempts to answer.

How can your garden grow?

Sadhana Ramchander

Gardening is an activity that has the potential to teach us a lot of things. Tending a Schoolyard Garden tells us how we can incorporate gardening into the everyday school curriculum along with its benefits. The book also comes with a CD that has many resources that can be of use for the teacher.

Taking stock of learning

Anjali Sharma

Evaluating learners is an important part of every teacher’s job. It is also the least explored part of a teacher’s job. Assessing Learners–A Pedagogic Resource by Geetha Durairajan is therefore a timely resource.

A small miracle: Charlotte’s web

Bubla Basu

What can you learn from watching a movie? Apparently lots. Here’s what 4 children learnt from watching the cartoon movie Charlotte’s Web. Definitely a wonderful teaching resource.

Of boundaries and bridges

Girija Uday Kumar

Life and learning cannot be separated. As teachers we have to show children how lessons in life help them learn. And movies are a good way to do that. This former teachers suggests two movies that have aided her in her endeavours–Dead Poets Society and Mona Lisa Smile.

Multiplex for teachers

Aditi Mathur and Ratnesh Mathur

The authors give a list of must watch movies for teachers. Movies that will reveal to them something about themselves and teach them something.

Order, order!

Subha Das Mollick

How do you look for teaching-learning moments in movies? The author explains here with two scenes from the movie, Sound of Music how a movie can be more than just entertainment.

The big story… of everything!

Adithi Muralidhar

Looking for a comprehensive resource to discuss the environment and sustainability? Adithi Muralidhar shares her experience of using the documentary, The Story of Stuff, with students.

Modelling learning from life

Shubhangi K Bhide

Human beings are a relatively new species compared to the several different animal species living on earth. Us humans therefore have a lot to learn from other species who co-habit the earth with us. How can we teach children to look at nature for solutions to our problems? The Biomimicry Education Network would be a good place to start.

Stimuli for stories

Cheryl Rao

Creative writing is an important element of the English curriculum. It is however not so easy to get the creative juices flowing out of our students’ pens. Yes they are all full of imagination but when it comes to writing their ideas down most children falter. Make creative learning fun with this story writing kit.

Traveling through the educational blogosphere, it is impossible to not come across Understanding by Design.  I must admit, that it is not something that I have studied in depth and not something that I am that familiar with.  I will get to it, eventually.

What I do know about it, I don't like.  It seems like a linear program designed to guide the learners to a pre-ordained conclusion decided on by the teacher.  It does not seem child centered, but rather planning centered.  The best unit planning template, in my eyes, is a blank piece of paper.

I don't know.  Convince me otherwise.  I don't read too many criticisms of it, just praise.  I want to hear more perspectives.

Christmas letter 2013

Happy holidays from Team Thompson!

Ryan turns 4 in a couple of months, a fact he happily shares when asked, and is still the family member most likely to share an impromptu hug.  He both enthusiastically throws himself into the fray then cries for Mommy when he takes a bump then throws himself back in.  He's also learned the days of the week and how to sing at preschool which makes for a entertaining combination.

Claire turned 6 this year and has blossomed both physically and mentally as a first grader.  She loves gymnastics, races Jay to school on her bike, and scored six goals in one soccer game.  She's also taken on the role as matriarch for the kids, enjoys helping around the house, and has discovered fashion.  She continues to confound and entertain her Dad with her sense of humor.

Jay is 7 and in second grade.  His plate of extracurricular activities includes gymnastics, soccer, basketball, and baseball and he recently earned the Big Ribbon for passing the swimming test for all 4 strokes.  He's a voracious reader, usually at the expense of anything else such as picking up his room.  His blonde surfer hair and friendly nature make the girls at school swoon.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Since 2013 Gauger has been creating Problem Glyphs, through the process of leaving their Tumblr ask box open to anonymous comments, and reading the problems of those who offered them up. Gauger then created visual representations of sigilized imagery, meant to evoke the shape of and the path through the issue. I’ll let them tell you more about it, below, but the long and the short of it is, Problem Glyphs were a runaway success.

As the questions kept pouring in, it eventually became clear that Gauger had struck a current, and that a massively cathartic process was being shared by many people, and now, three years later, a book collection is being developed. From the Kickstarter campaign:

The Problem Glyphs art book contains 100 glyphs and their associated submissions, accompanied by an introduction by Eliza Gauger and a foreword by award-winning writer, Warren Ellis. Problem Glyphs will be a premium edition, display-worthy art book, measuring 10×12″ and featuring a Smyth sewn, genuine clothbound hard cover with gold foil-stamped cover illustrations. The estimated 220 interior pages will be printed on beautiful matte coated art paper. Tremendous care has gone into every aspect of the book, from its binding to its typography, the beautiful and storied Doves Type.

I got the chance to have a tarot-based conversation with Eliza Gauger, to discuss the origins, impact, and future of Problem Glyphs.

TECHNOCCULT: The Fool: Because the Fool starts the whole journey of the Major Arcana, we like to use this card to kick us off. How did the Problem Glyphs project start, for you?

ELIZA GAUGER: Problem Glyphs started because back in 2013 “ask memes” were just coming into prominence on my tumblr dashboard. I thought a good ask meme would be asking for people’s problems and then drawing them a quick, simple sigil in a program called Alchemy.

T0: You As You See Yourself: The Three of Pentacles. This card usually signifies being at the height of your skill, the pinnacle of your art. Do you feel that something about the footing you’ve found and the self you’ve crafted with Problem Glyphs is different from what you’ve had with previous projects?

EG: Problem Glyphs has mostly been a way of engaging what teachers at the only atelier school I ever attended called “mileage”: the act of drawing, as much as possible, all the time. Mileage is the golden rule of improving your skill. Whoever has the most mileage will be the most skilled draftsman at the end of the day. This was hammered into the students and was easy to see demonstrated time and again. It’s been handily demonstrated in this project. My drawing skill at the beginning of this project and now are leagues apart, and I just owe it to simple concentration on drawing figures with simple tools. For me this is gratifying because I’ve always been an illustrator more than a fine artist, at heart. I have the pretense of a fine artist only as much as it gets me gallery shows and sells work, because that pretense is a necessary part of self-management and marketing. But really I have the soul of a pulp novel painter and always have. So I care about impactful compositions, anatomy, beauty, realism, and style. Being a better draftsman now than I was is very gratifying to me, personally.

[The Hex of Obsolescence]

T0: Immediate Influence: The Nine of Wands. Meaning a release, a sense of purpose, creativity beyond the bounds of a preexisting structure. What is it about Problem Glyphs that makes you feel free? How do you simultaneously manage to express and lose yourself in the answers to so many people?
Goal: The Seven of Pentacles. This is about Full Immersion of yourself into what you do. Do you ever want to disappear into your work? To only be known as some kind of inarticulable union of self and art?

EG: I feel I’m already immersed fully in a persona, and this is partially related to my occupation as a public artist and partially to my personal struggle with gender dysphoria–I am in drag every day, more or less, and my interest in makeup and style stem from my concern with having some sort of mastery over this drag, which I would opt out of if I felt that I was able to, at this time.

T0: Recent Past: Death. Change. There’s a feeling, here, like something rotted off and fell away, recently, allowing you to develop something new. Compost Roses. What’s changed, for you, and what has it changed into?

EG: This is too personal to talk about, unfortunately. I can only say I hope something good comes of it. I am trying to atone

T0: Further Past: The Knight of Pentacles. Something about throwing yourself into your work at a time when it was the absolute hardest. Is there a story about the movement between this card and the previous one? What is it?

EG: Again, I can’t talk about it, I’m sorry.

T0: Near Future: Temperance. What forces are you looking toward balancing, in your art and yourself? What aspects or effects do you hope to catalyze or precipitate through Problem Glyphs?

EG: I am building an enormous amount of some sort of cosmic credit over here, but I’m not sure what it is, exactly. People are getting Problem Glyph tattoos at a rate that stuns me. There’s got to be some sort of power building in that process of dozens of people branding themselves with my pictures. It literally animates the images, makes them walk around, fills them with blood and plasma. What does that mean, exactly? I’m not sure. Since I started it, this project has been a confusing dichotomy of “exclusively mine” and “out of my hands, existing on its own terms”. Some things about it are mine and I guard them jealously. Other parts of it I consider the property of the audience. Soon the glyphs will be printed into hundreds of pages, hundreds of times, hundreds of books. Then, later, we’ll do it again to more glyphs. These glyphs will fly to people’s shelves, bookstores, libraries, and eventually basements and attics and used bookstores and dumps and bonfires and cardboard boxes and rummage sales. My favorite artists were always the ones in the footnotes of art history books, who only got brief mentions for being strange or notable in larger epochs. You can’t get rid of someone so easily once they’ve been set in paper. Depression makes a person impermanent. Once the book is printed there will be 100 proofs of me, floating around bookshelves and dumps for the next 300 years. It’s not that I haven’t been published before, I have–but this is different.

T0: Clarification: The Emperor. Rigid structural control, but with a kind of Confucian sense of the ruler being ruled by the kingdom. You say that some parts of this you guard as jealously and keep a tight control on. Does that include talking about them to others, or would you be willing to tell what a few of them are? Do you see any relationship between the aspects which are yours and the ones which are out of your hands?

EG: The aspects of possession of the project are ownership over the authorial process itself, and the images. For example, there was a single case of someone not liking the way I had drawn a glyph. They wanted the body of the figure in the glyph to be different. So, they took my drawing, clumsily altered it in photoshop to erase and change the body of the figure in a way THEY thought was “better”, then actually re-uploaded it as a reply to the original post, publicly. This is probably one of the most offensive and intrusive things anyone has ever done with my work. To assume my drawing was “incorrect” is one thing, but to publicly and without permission to just erase part of my work and replace it with their own? The process involved erasing a depiction of my actual body (artists use themselves as models constantly, out of convenience primarily), then replacing it with what this person adjudged as “superior”. It was astonishingly rude, not to mention belittling to my work, life, the project, and my actual physical form in public. What a nightmare. I had to make a public announcement to please not alter the glyphs and then provide them for the public. I’ve always said you can do what you want with the drawings for your own purposes, up to and including altering the drawings for tattoos etc, but posting these alterations, taking credit for my work, then providing them on a public platform as an “improvement” over the original? Such a weird series of decisions for a “fan” to make, and not one I thought I would ever have to address, or to ask people not to do.

[Bog Muse. December 24, 2013.]

T0: You As Others See You: The Seven of Wands. Reserved regality. Passion, but held aloof. Is this an image you feel applies to you, or just is applied to you? If the former, do you work to cultivate that image?

EG: This is accurate. Online it’s necessary to be reserved, I think, for a lot of reasons. I grew up on the internet and learned some pretty tough lessons about melting down in public or just letting people know every stupid detail of my life, which is something people genuinely want to know, a lot of the time. Intimacy is one of the most desirable things you can offer from a public facing profile, because of how it makes your audience feel, but it’s one of the most expensive to maintain. I have learned through trial and error that a very sheetmetal sort of personality helps me repel a lot of creeps and other undesirables while still allowing me to show my outfits, joke around, or talk about stuff I find interesting.

T0: Further Future: The Ten of Wands. Intense Desire and Passion. Do you think you’ll continue to find passion in Problem Glyphs? Do you usually find yourself passionate about digging down on one project for a long time, or do you need to have a lot of things going at once and move from one to another to keep things fresh?

EG: The way my brain seems to be built is to absolutely strip the bones of a subject and then move on to something else, so the longevity of problem glyphs has surprised no one more than myself. I think the constant challenge and the ability to direct my own subject matter has kept it interesting, as well as the total lack of oversight by any third party. I have a fantastic business manager, Simon Berman of Strix Publishing, who I work very closely with to keep things organized, but he has zero input on what I’m drawing, when, or how. The audience response also helps a great deal. All human beings want to know they are useful, so hearing from anyone that this effort has helped them at all has really fed back into the process and helped me, in turn, continue to produce glyphs. Still, I have plans for more work other than Problem Glyphs, some of it even before the end of the year, work I’m very pleased about.

T0: Emotional/Mental State: The Ten of Swords. Of the Minor Arcana we see, this is the only one that isn’t a wand or a pentacle, and it’s interesting that it’s here. A pressure and a weight in concepts, but also the abstraction of problems into thought. Do you feel that weight in how others see and feel about Problem Glyphs? Is there a sense of responsibility there? Do you feel that in any of your other work?

EG: There is a weight in Problem Glyphs and I try not to step on toes or piss anyone off too much. I’m pretty niche and not too well known so there haven’t been any actual problems yet. I think most people who dislike or don’t get anything out of the project tend to just dismiss it and move on with their lives, which is the best and correct decision. I also have a policy on never reading the comments on interviews or posts about my work. It’s a given that people will hate it and/or me, and not just people who “don’t get it”, and to borrow a phrase from Chris Onstad, that’s fine because that’s okay. I just don’t need to beam those opinions directly into my brain.

[Asterion Walks The Labyrinth. March 25, 2015]

[Asterion Walks The Labyrinth. March 25, 2015]

T0: Ultimate Outcome: The World. Everyone is going to know about this, soon. Like, Problem Glyphs is already an international phenomenon, but after the book comes out, it will reach people it never has, before.  What do you most want these newcomers—and even those who’ve been here, the whole time—to understand about Problem Glyphs?

EG: I’m not sure Problem Glyphs will ever get Big big. It’s still a very esoteric concept. One of the first articles/interviews that came out about it even got the basic concept completely backwards–the author thought I was just illustrating problems themselves, not doing anything more–and I still don’t even have an elevator pitch. So I feel relatively “safe” in relative obscurity. I would be very surprised if Problem Glyphs ever blew up in a serious way. Of course, this being my spread, maybe the cards are telling me something else. Here’s hoping I’m not responsible for a second Satanic Panic. Maybe Oprah will read and like my book, that would be really nice.

T0: Clarification: The Ten of Pentacles. The realization of dreams or material success through the grounded hard work of skillcraft. This is the last card, and the last Pentacle. I think you might be right about something else being about to happen here. I pulled a clarification on this card  because a lot of what you’ve said, culminating here, has been very dichotomous. You talk about the aspects that belong to you, and several times you circle around the relationship between fame and obscurity, going so far as to say, above, that your favourites have always been found in the footnotes of history. So I’m wondering: Say this project does become huge: Would you call that success? Aside from Oprah reading and liking the book (which would be AMAZING), what would the definition of Problem Glyphs’ success be, for you?

EG: Success has been impossible to me to define for myself except in a sort of clinical way. I never actually “feel” it, even when it objectively occurs. This is an experience of depression, and I think it is a common experience of many artists. It is one reason most of us despise writing CVs for gallery shows or book flaps. It requires us to count out, on our fingers, our various “accomplishments” and many of us can’t experience those “accomplishments” except in the very very abstract. Drawing and writing and so on don’t make many of us feel happy or satisfied, and it’s not why many of us make things. Some artists do seem lucky and healthy enough to have a mutually beneficial relationship with their work, but you will find confusion is response to the concept of “success” very often when reading artists’ own words about their work. For many of us, the process of work or achievement is more about the avoidance of additional pain, or in other cases, because the process is reflexive and can’t be avoided any more than (and this is a metaphor I’ve seen several times) breathing. This is a very long winded way of trying to explain that many of us, myself included, experience an almost total artistic anhedonia: we can take pleasure in other art, but our own exists in a sort of numbness, and it’s created by impulsion and an inescapable drive rather than logical goals or the pursuit of achievement. This all sounds horribly snooty. I’m struggling to explain it. I rely on trusted friends and family to tell me what success is. My mom and dad both like and understand Problem Glyphs, and they think it’s successful. I can warily accept their judgment, but can’t really experience it in the first person.

This is often very disappointing and confusing for people who buy art and support artists to hear, so I think a lot of us, including myself, have learned not to talk about it. But depression and mental illness permeating the lives of many artists is, aside from being a poorly-depicted cliché, also a very basic tenet of our lived experience. Concealing or ignoring it seems inappropriate, given the basic purpose of Problem Glyphs itself.

This leads to the logical next question: why draw at all, why have an artistic career, if you can’t experience your own success? There are a lot of answers, including an urge to be useful, the necessity of earning money to continue to survive even if you don’t especially feel like it, and tiny things only the artist really cares about: mastering the contour of a nose, experiencing color, softening a perfect gradient, the smell of copal, the kinetic pleasure of a particular brush, the immeasurable smallness of the place between “i want to paint” and “i am painting”, alliteration in a sentence, the knowing of cadmium yellow, a mechanical typewriter that can type in both red and black.

These things are incommunicable. Kim Gordon said, “people will pay to watch others believe in themselves”, and this vicarious experience of art is the umbilicus between artist and patron. It’s the lever both of us are always tapping, waiting for a pellet reward to fall out.

The dichotomy you sense in my answers is completely present in every aspect of my life. The doubling of all things is represented in the glyphs, with the mirroring. Each glyph is really two glyphs: each half-glyph and its chiral partner. This constant twinning of things is my experience of everything I do.

I want to once again thank Eliza Gauger for taking the time to talk to us, and for giving such a great deal of insight into their mindset and process. In addition to the many places listed above, you can find and support Eliza on Patreon, Twitter, Facebook, and their own Toxoplasm.org.

How to import sim contacts iphone

Hi, are you looking for an easy way to transfer your contact from old cell phone to your iPhone? Many people continue to have the problem of migrating their contact from their classical phone to an iPhone.

if you fall into this category or you are just helping someone who does, then you will have to follow a step by step guide for transfer contacts from old simple phone to an iPhone. This process will involve importing contacts from the SIM card of that older phone. This process is very important because it allows the user to bring their old contacts stored on a SIM card to the new iPhone easily.

Another reason why this tutorial is useful aside from that initial migration, a scenario where you’d want to import SIM contacts that you don't really use again and it has been laying around, while it contains some useful contact of family and friends.

Is Awesome that you can accomplish the importation process by placing the other SIM card into the iPhone and then using an iPhone feature to import contacts from that SIM card to the iPhone. This is an easy and fast process, as we’ll walk through the entire process.

Transferring Contacts from a SIM Card to iPhone

The SIM card containing the contacts should be inserted into the iPhone and if it requires resizing by cutting to micro or nano ensure you do that, Otherwise copy the contact to a compatible SIM (Miro or Nano.
  1. Insert old SIM card containing the contacts into the iPhone
  2. Now go to the “Settings” app on the iPhone
  3. Now go to “Contacts” (you should see “Mail, Contacts, Calendars”)
  4. Scroll down and choose “Import Contacts from SIM”

  5. Wait for few moment for the contact information to be syn into the iPhone
  6. Now you can Re-insert your SIM card if you don't want to use the old one
Note: you can repeat this process to move all you contact from your old phone to your new iPhone as SIM card has a maximum contact limit of 200 or 250 depending on the carrier network ( you the Move contact option in your old phone to avoid duplicate) You can do this at any time to bring contacts from an old SIM card over to an iPhone, so if you have old Nokia or any classic phone somewhere you might be able to get those contacts onto the iPhone using this simple process.

The contact transfer process is is fairly easy and fast, though if the SIM card contains a ton of contacts on it it may take a moment or two for the iPhone to complete the process of sync all the contact details from the SIM.

In addition, any contacts imported from the old SIM card will be added to existing contacts already on the iPhone, will not cause overwrite existing contacts.

How do I copy my iPhone contacts to a SIM card?

We just showed you a guide on how to copy contacts from a SIM card to an iPhone, however, what if you go the other way and want to copy iPhone contacts to a SIM card? Well, it turns out you can’t do that in iOS device, and while older iPhone models may be able to accomplish dumping contacts to a SIM card by using a low-level iOS software modification.

 This is not applicable with the modem iPhone as the space on the SIM card is very negligible for all the contact. The reverse process is only possible when you have an Android phone. iPhone contacts can be converted to VCF and transfer to Android Phone, then transfer to SIM card, you can also do this by sending contacts from an iPhone in VCF format through text message or email, and VCF contact details can be opened and utilized on many different types of cell phones even simpler older models.

Any questions or comments about importing contacts from a SIM card to an iPhone or Android? Any experience or tips about how to make this an easier process for those migrating from an older device to a new iPhone or a used iPhone? Let us know in the comments.

Saudi diplomat shot dead in Karachi

TN News

Email Print

A Saudi diplomat was killed in a drive-by shooting near the consulate in Karachi on Monday, the second attack on Saudi interests in Pakistan's biggest city in less than a week, officials said.

The motive of the attack was not immediately clear, but authorities said they were investigating whether it was connected to the death of Saudi-born Osama bin Laden, who was killed by US forces in Pakistan on May 2.

An official from the media section of the Saudi embassy identified the man as a Saudi diplomat. Karachi police named him as Hassan al-Khatani.

Pakistani police told AFP that the Saudi had been driving a vehicle with diplomatic plates when two motorcycle riders unleashed a hail of gunfire at a crossroads in the city's upmarket Defence neighborhood.

"The consulate employee died of multiple bullet wounds on the spot," said Fayaaz Leghari, the police chief of southern province Sindh, of which Karachi is the capital.

"The attackers fled on the motorbike," he added.

"At this moment, we can't say who killed him," Leghari said.

Provincial home ministry official Sharfuddin Memon identified the dead man as a junior officer at the consulate.

"We are investigating if it was linked to the Abbottabad operation or was an isolated incident," he said.

Last Wednesday, drive-by assailants threw two grenades at the consulate in Karachi in what officials said could have been reaction to bin Laden's death.

But there was no claim of responsibility for the attack.

The Taliban, blamed for some of the worst acts of violence in Pakistan, last Friday claimed a double suicide bombing that killed 89 people outside a police training centre as their first revenge for bin Laden.

Saudi Arabia condemned the grenade assault a "terror attack" and said it had "full confidence" in Pakistan's ability to arrest the assailants, bring them to justice and provide the necessary protection to the Saudi mission.

Pakistan has been in the grip of domestic and international crisis since US Navy SEALs flew in, seemingly undetected, from Afghanistan to identify and kill the Saudi-born Al-Qaeda terror mastermind at a suburban compound two weeks ago.

Pakistanis have expressed horror at the perceived impunity of the raid, furiously asking if their military was too incompetent to know he was living in a garrison city near the capital, or, even worse, conspired to protect him.

Saudi Arabia expelled bin Laden in 1991 and later revoked his nationality. The government in Riyadh, which is allied to the authorities in Islamabad, last week welcomed his killing as a boost to international anti-terror efforts.

Pakistan is holding in protective custody three of bin Laden's widows, who come from Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and 13 of their children.

Abortion, Censorship and Donald Trump

As faithful readers of this blog know, I long opposed the election of Donald Trump last year.  I viewed him as unfit to be President, I doubted his conversion to the pro-life cause and I knew that he wasn’t a conservative in the mode of Reagan.  I came around, reluctantly, after he signed a pledge letter to the pro-life cause.  Since his election I occasionally wonder if I made the right decision, and then something like what is documented below happens, and I am very happy with my decision:

YouTube removed a video showing top Planned Parenthood officials making gruesome comments about abortion on the order of a federal judge in California.

U.S. District Judge William Orrick, who granted the preliminary injunction in favor of the National Abortion Federation to halt the release of the videos, ordered any links to the video to be removed after it was published by the Center for Medical Progress on Thursday.

Judge Orrick also ordered CMP lead investigator David Daleiden and his attorneys to appear in court June 14, The Associated Press reported, for a hearing where he will consider holding them in contempt for releasing the footage.

Mr. Daleiden has been charged with 15 felonies in California stemming from his undercover investigation into the abortion giant. His attorneys have called it a “witch hunt” that flies in the face of the First Amendment.

YouTube has not responded to a request for comment.

The three-minute video showed top Planned Parenthood executives joking about severed fetus heads, admitting to altering abortion procedures to preserve fetal organs and conceding that clinics have a financial incentive to sell the human remains from abortions.

Lisa Harris, medical director at Planned Parenthood of Michigan, laments that abortionists cannot easily confide in others about their workplace difficulties, such as removing the severed heads of fetuses from women undergoing abortions.

“Our stories don’t really have a place in a lot of pro-choice discourse and rhetoric, right? The heads that get stuck that we can’t get out,” Ms. Harris says in the video, drawing laughs from an audience.

She also says pro-choice advocates should concede that the practice is murder.

“Let’s just give them all the violence,” she says. “It’s a person. It’s killing. Let’s just give them all that.”

The video features footage recorded at an annual National Abortion Federation meeting by the undercover pro-life journalists. The Center for Medical Progress says it’s just a preview of never-before-seen content that has been caught up in a legal fight for nearly two years.

In the video, Ann Schutt-Aine, director of abortion services at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, admits to using forceps to hold a fetus in place and circumvent a partial-birth abortion.

“If I’m doing a procedure, and I’m seeing that I’m in fear that it’s about to come to the umbilicus, I might ask for a second set of forceps to hold the body at the cervix, and pull off a leg or two, so it’s not [partial-birth abortion],” she says.

President Trump was ridiculed during the campaign for suggesting abortions happen in the U.S. up to the moment of birth.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, said the video proves him right.

Go here to read the rest.  The Federal judge in this case is an Obama appointee.  Prior to being appointed he raised 200,000 dollars for Obama’s election fund.  His wife is a clown, literally, and a pro-abort fanatic.  That he thinks he has the right to act as a censor of this video, and that such censorship is even possible today, speaks volumes about his understanding of the Constitution, and his intelligence in the days of the internet.  Go here to Lifesite News to watch the video.  As my friend and co-blogger Paul Zummo noted, in watching the video it is as if the Third Reich during the Holocaust had a trade association.

Indeed, it reminded me of the scene in Judgment at Nuremberg beginning at 6:32 in the video clip below:

Actions by Obama appointed judges, like the attempted suppression of this video, at the behest of individuals who profit from the slaying of innocents and the selling of portions of their corpses, makes me very glad indeed that Hillary Clinton isn’t President and Donald Trump is.

Update:  Go here to view it at Gloria TV.

More to explorer

  1. This is but the American left’s imitation of the old soviet default psych hospital trip for those who dare to seek any truth that the political powers seek to hide.

  2. Patriotism is treason. Love is hate. Truth is a lie. Civil discourse is harassment, intimidation, violence.

    In case you hadn’t noticed, the totalitarian elites are using Orwell’s 1984 as a guide book.

  3. Prior to the election, I also had severe doubts about Trump, his fitness to be POTUS and his commitment to the pro-life cause. I ended up not voting for either him or Hillary, on the grounds that, as a resident of a deep blue state (IL) whose votes were already in the bag for Hillary, my vote wouldn’t have an impact on the outcome. If I had it to do over again, I would vote for Trump, partly because he has proven to be much better than I anticipated, partly because Hillary and her supporters have proven to be far more unstable and dangerous than I realized, and partly because more attention is being paid to the outcome of the popular vote, which even though it doesn’t count officially, does make a significant difference in public perception.

  4. “I long opposed the election of Donald Trump last year… I came around…I am very happy with my decision…” If everyone could reflect, see beyond the imperfections and be grateful for his lack of pc, he may actually accomplish a great deal. We won’t agree with everything he does, but we never will find such a President. Thanks for sharing your path.

  5. Congress could and should put judge Orrick out of business. For more than 70 years, the federal courts have made it increasingly plain that they’re staffed with intellectual and moral frauds. A piece of statutory law which grants the Northern district of California new boundaries – one square yard in the middle of a slum boulevard in Sacramento – will do the trick. Punish all the judges there Kennesaw Mountain Landis style. Draw a new district and staff it with better judges, transferring the appropriations for court staff from one to the other. Going forward, Judge Orrick gets paid with $200,000 worth of potatoes dumped on his front lawn once a year.

  6. What these people deserve is what the Nazis on trial at Nuremberg got: dispatch to the Lord Jesus for final judgment.

    I despise, loathe, abhor, detest and hold in utter contempt and disdain liberal progressive feminist Democrats.

  7. “I knew that he wasn’t a conservative in the mode of Reagan. ”

    We haven’t had a conservative in the mode of Reagan since…well…Reagan.

    As far as being glad Trump is president as opposed to Hillary, doing worse than Hillary is like trying to shimmy under a limbo stick lying flat on the ground.

  8. “As far as being glad Trump is president as opposed to Hillary, doing worse than Hillary is like trying to shimmy under a limbo stick lying flat on the ground.”

    After eight years of Obama I am content even with that, although thus far I think Trump has done better than that.

  9. I am upset that the madwoman of Chappaqua won’t stay in Chappaqua and be quiet. I am contemplating pangs f sympathy for Slick Willy.

    That being said, I seriously doubt that President Trump will be as successful as was Obama. The bar is set HIGH. Almost impossible for Trump sell as many guns or equal Obama’s GOP electoral gains.

    Obama, the World’s greatest gun marketer, gave the GOP the Trump presidency, both houses of Congress (63 House seats and 10 senates eats) , 33 governorships, control of 32 state legislatures, and Trump may appoint three or four more-or-less conservative SCOTUS justices.

  10. J.R.R Tolkien’s Orc’s seems to fit as well.

    And the Judge being an Obama appointee makes perfect sense. Obama is synonymous with Saruman……the white.

Jesus Christ Is How We Overcome All Trials
November 24, 2017

Trials Make You Stronger

Book of Mormon Marriage And Family Study

1 Nephi 17: 13

“And I will be your light in he wilderness; and I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments.”

I Will Be Your Light In The Wilderness

Jesus Christ is the way and the only way. This is especially true when you are in the middle of a storm. What do you do when life turns dark, very dark, when everything seems against you?

When the Lord commanded Lehi to abandon his home in Jerusalem to travel in the wilderness, it was a blessing in at least two ways. One it saved their life because that city was about to be destroyed because of wickedness and second it was a refiners fire that burned out worldliness. However, Laman and Lemuel didn’t respond so well to the trial of living without their wealth and comforts of life.

I love this teaching by President Thomas S. Monson

“Our Heavenly Father, who gives us so much to delight in, also knows that we learn and grow and become stronger as we face and survive the trials through which we must pass. We know that there are times when we will experience heartbreaking sorrow, when we will grieve, and when we may be tested to our limits. However, such difficulties allow us to change for the better, to rebuild our lives in the way our Heavenly Father teaches us, and to become something different from what we were—better than we were, more understanding than we were, more empathetic than we were, with stronger testimonies than we had before.

This should be our purpose—to persevere and endure, yes, but also to become more spiritually refined as we make our way through sunshine and sorrow. Were it not for challenges to overcome and problems to solve, we would remain much as we are, with little or no progress toward our goal of eternal life.”

Elder Holland in a question and answer session about marriage said you know it is love when your spouse will go through a lot with you. In this case, if your wife is willing to travel in the wilderness with you, she loves you. For example, the prophets teach not to wait until you have money or a degree to get married.

There aren’t many just causes for divorce!

All Easter Eggs in

Leisure Suit Larry 7

"Love for Sail"

Last updated February 9, 1997

By Erik Gos (

There are 8 easter eggs in Leisure Suit Larry 7. They are recognized by the multi-colored egg flashing in the top left or top right of the game screen when active.

Here is a list of them all:

  1. At the Clothing Optional Pool, click on the Pesky Branch that's covering Drew's breasts. Select "Other" and type "Push". Waw, breasts.

  2. In the Library, click on the beaver on top of the right shelf. Select "Other" and type "Milk". The first time you enter the Jugg's dressing room (next to Johnson's bar at the back deck of the Proud Lil' Seaman Lounge), you will see the Jugg's egg. And not only breasts this time.

  3. After the performance of the Jugg's go on the stage (Proud Lil' Seaman Lounge again) and go to the left. Click on the mixing table, select "Other", type "Feel". Now go to Drew Baringmore and talk about "Fokker". You don't have to look here in the eyes any longer. You will be looking at something else instead. Just guess.

  4. After winning Strip Liar's Dice from Dewmi, return to her cabin and take the bottle of Orgasmic Powder from her table. Make sure you have Drew's suitcase and return to Drew. Talk to Drew. Use the "Orgasmic Powder" on what's left of her "Gigantic Erection" drink, click on the drink, select "Other" and type "Drink". Talk to Drew about her suitcase. When she leaves, Larry won't block the view anymore. Yeah, yeah, again.

  5. Leave and return to Victorian Principles (the librarian) after putting the "The Erotic Adventures of Hercules" book in the "Prudish and Proud" book jacket on her pile of books. Now she's Vicky. Before doing anything else, "Left-Click" on the leftmost guy in the shower on her computer display (it shows the shower from Larry 6), while holding the "control-key" on your keyboard. Now just play on. Selecting the topic "Weather" will trigger the second part of the egg. I'm sorry, breasts again.

  6. Go to Captain Queeg's Ballroom, click on Larry, select "Other", type "Dream" and yes, some more breasts.

  7. After killing old Boning, but before giving the Insurance Policy to Annette, return to the Owner's Suite. Click on the bulge of the third guy statue at the left, select "Other" and type "Unzip". Now push the doorbell. Again, some more breasts and ... money.

  8. The last egg will only show up if you found all Dildo's, scored a maximum 1000 points and found the 7 other eggs. You should look through the credits until the end. Suddenly, just before the alien invasion from outer space, an egg will show up a the top left of the screen. Look quickly at the Captain Thygh egg. It barely lasts two seconds, but you will see some breasts again.
If only looking at the eggs, one could conclude that this is a man's game. Well maybe it is, but it's kinda fun.

So, this is it. Hope this helps all desperate egg hunters. For some help on how to get a maximum score or where to find all Dildo's, look at the two entries above this one.

Good to the last drop

A little bit of rain fell yesterday afternoon. Fancy that. I was very excited to use the new rain gauge...

but not nearly as excited as my water-obsessed chickens.
They made a game of catching raindrops falling out of the gutter.

Clara: I'm losing my patience here.

Clara: Maybe the itsy-bitsy spider will wash out if I wait long enough.

Me: What's that song about raindrops and chickens?
You know the one – raindrops on roses and whiskers on chickens?

Eugenia: Nom nom nom nom nom. Good to the last drop.

  1. That is hilarious! Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning with your cute hens!

  2. Love these pics, the expressions on their face show their curiosity and confusion. I can't wait to raise chickens. We are getting a coop together but it is not finished yet. I am thrilled with your blog!

  3. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
    bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
    brown paper packages, tied up with string,
    these are a few of my favorite things!

    Girls in white dresses, with blue satin sashes,
    snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
    silver white winters that melt into Spring,
    these are a few of my favorite things

  4. "whiskers on chickens"! I think I just inhaled my coffee into my lungs eh,,,,cough cough!!!
    We have had SO much rain here in northern Alberta your rain gauge would have overflowed to many times to count in the last 5 days.

  5. this is cute. those chickens recognise a good drop alright! cheers Wendy

  6. Chickens can be the funniest animals. I love when mine get intent on doing something.

  7. That's just great. I never new chickens could be so cute. Didn't you want to just pour some more water down the drainpipe for them to catch.

  8. They're so serious and so patient. You'd think this was the only water on the property. Too funny.

  9. Carol in N. Colorado7/17/12, 7:11 AM

    I am glad I was not drinking anything when I read this morning. Too cute. I love Clara posture looking up into the downspout. We received some of that lovely moisture too and hopefully will get more today.

  10. Estella from Co.7/17/12, 7:25 AM

    What a riot...gave me a good morning smile. Hugs to all

  11. You must wear your camera around your neck all the time to always get the great shots that you get! These two girls have got to be the cutest hens ever! I love their cocked heads-they are sooo smart!

  12. Fabulous chicken post. And now the grands had to know the song. I mean they are only younguns and when Shel and I burst into laughter the "I didn't get it" look panned across their little children faces.....but now they are off to summer program singing your version of the beginning...you've done it again. Two thumbs up.

  13. Your girls are hilarious! Their facial expressions (who knew chickens had facial expressions...) rival the donkeys.

  14. Hello 7MSN,
    I discovered your blog a few days ago and have enjoyed it immensely. Love your story, lots of admiration for what you did and now are doing. And can appreciate what you enjoy because I live in Los Alamos. There's nothing like the skies and wide open spaces of NM, the air, the light . . . and the occasional precious summer storms. I can't find a name for you so I guess you're just 7MSN in blog world. Well, I don't even have a google identity but that will come eventually. You'll be a daily read. I'll wave in your direction when I drive to Abq. Becky

  15. Now tell the truth, weren't you tempted to stick the hose in the other end of the downspout?

  16. I like your hens' version of the song! I guess they don't know their twisted postures aren't ladylike - or maybe in the intensity of getting a drop of water, they just don't care!
    Nancy in Iowa

  17. Fooled me; At first I thought they were really looking for a drink. Cute! It's like they found the prize in the Cracker Jack box.

  18. Warm, woolen mittens will be coming up soon enough. Drink ye up whilst ye can!

  19. Raindrops on gutters and whiskers on chickens,
    Bright painted pony cute as the dickens,
    Hay bales repaired with left over strings,
    These are my favorite 7msn things!

    Donkeys eating yucca down to the branches,
    Cow skulls and porcupines wandering ranches,
    Stunning sunsets making hearts sing,
    These are my favorite 7msn things!

    When the flies bite,
    When the drought dries,
    When I'm feeling sad,
    I simply remember my favorite 7msn days
    Then I don't feel so baaaaadddd! (big finish)

Biafra: History Was Recorded In Abia State As Biafrans Boycott LG Election Polls

27 December, 2016

Recently, a local government chairmanship poll was conducted in Abia state and it witnessed very low turn out by the masses. When we told them that Biafra is all we need, they thought we were joking or not committed to the project. People shall keep on boycotting Nigeria's pre-determined election until the world sees that the coming of Biafra is imminent and certain.

Henceforth, there will be no voting in any election in Biafraland whatsoever as Biafrans in Aba have clearly stated where they belong, and that must be respected even when it was not announced on Radio Biafra not to vote, they nevertheless took it as a duty to boycott the election.

Read also:Biafra: You Lack Basic Knowledge Of History: Where Was Nigeria Before 1914?--IPOB Nsukka Blasts Sultan Of Sokoto

It all happened like a drama when the Abia state Governor Okezie Ikpeazu announced on Magic FM, Aba, that everyone should come out en masse and vote for his party candidates. Everyone waited for Magic FM to open their phone lines for them to ask Mr. Governor why people should vote for PDP candidates, and as if the radio station knew what was going to happen, they didn't bother to turn on their lines to avoid people embarrasing the governor. The radio station has been one of the instrument of the Buhari-led administration in Abia state against IPOB which is being used to jam Radio Biafra signals. They put on their music to distract the attention of listeners whenever Radio Biafra is live on air.
As a Biafra writer, I visited some of the polling units in Aba to take a vivid look of the situation on ground. I went to Omuma, Osusu, CKC and BTC polling stations and I can categorically say that those polling units were so empty.

Read also:Biafra: IPOB Dishes Out New Warnings To FG, Vows To Avenge Members’ Killings Henceforth

When I interviewed one of the polling attendant by name Chidinma Ngozi Chukwudalu, she said that they have been there since morning without anyone coming to vote, adding that they don’t understand what is happening.

Because nobody voted, hence there was no result to count, it was later announced on radio that the election has been cancelled till further notice. They didn't want to tell the world that nobody came out to vote, they were ashamed to announce that the election was boycotted by Biafrans.

But this is not the end we shall still wait for them whenever they eventually fix a new date for their so-called election, once it is in Biafraland they have to bear it in mind that any election they schedule will be boycotted.

  1. This is excellent! Buhari and his cohort need to pluck it into their bore head that the fake fraudulent British experimented Nigeria country has expired. Biafra is moving on to her freedom sovereign independent Biafra nation. Biafrans have nothing to do with election of the so called British created false Nigeria that is now fading into the thin air!!!
