what cannot.
and then onto the stage. into the space. into the light.
i was never aware of being watched. never aware of even thinking up there. it was...it just was. perhaps the purest, most authentic form of myself. but cloaked under the pretense of...pretend.
(and under the pretense of pretend everything is a bit more real).
i don't miss acting. i don't think i do. if i'm really honest, i don't. and then i feel tremendously guilty for the not. the not missing. the not wanting. the non-pursuit.
but maybe i do. maybe the not is really the non-remembrance. perhaps if i found myself in those wings once more i might suddenly become aware that i have lived the past three years without ever once breathing.
i don't think so. because there is this, this writing. and there are lungs to these words.
but the thing about writing--at least in this domain--is there is an immediacy and a lack of anonymity that i am suddenly finding all-together-terrifying.
i find myself. center stage. staring out. breaking down that fourth-wall. aware of all those eyes.
and i am, for the first time, more aware of what cannot be written than what can.
of how i cannot write of the boy i met on the bus from boston. or the one who took me to a wine bar in the west village. i cannot write about the man who's face i've conjured up so many times i can't remember what he looks like.
point of fact, i cannot write about men at all. except the imagined. always the imagined. only the imagined.
i cannot write about loneliness or the holes in faith that pepper most mornings.
i can't write about the new scented soap that lives in my bathroom and makes me utterly sick to my stomach. how the scent creeps out into the hallway, into the living. room. how i hate that soap. hate what it stands for.
i cannot write about any of these things because these things--these thoughts--are tethered to people. and these people deserve their anonymity, if anyone.
i cannot write about the monotony of the days now abutting one.into.theother. nor how i am suddenly aware that a thinner frame doesn't make any of this easier. i mean i knew that, but now i know that. there's always someone skinnier, blonder, more vibrant.
how it's apathy i find most dangerous. most unnerving. how i take in deep breaths and am met with no air.
i cannot write about how i just want someone to go grocery shopping with. how i went to make dinner for them. do their laundry. it all sounds so terribly un-feminist. so not-of-the-moment.
and if these things are to be written, to be read--if they are to be read would the words lose their air?

Wow, Meg. Your words are so powerful. I hope you feel better about all of this soon. Perhaps more root beer and a trip home to Texas? Sending you my best. And I agree with the comment above... Beautiful and brave.

I love the part about how 'everything under the pretense of pretend is more real'. So true. And there is something about the written word that is out there, bold and intractable and just... out there. For everyone. And it's scary sometimes and sometimes the limits of what you can't in good faith put out there are rough!!!

Although you don't know me at all, I love the way you write and I GREATLY appreciated your comment on my blog. I know what you mean, having to keep things secret with this blog stuff. But I find the inspiration always comes from the people I probably shouldn't write about, if that makes sense. I don't think it should hold you back.
Writing a book would be a specialty of yours, I think. I would probably wait in line to buy it the first day it came out. :)

Oh Meg... Oh Meg, Meg, Meg. "i cannot write about loneliness or the holes in faith that pepper most mornings."
^^^^ One of your best, my friend. One of your best.
And I swear, your words resonate more all the time.

Meg, I agree. Sometimes when we allow things to come out of our mouths or into ink all of a sudden they lose that magic they have in our heads. Like admitting to like someone more than just a friend or following a dream. It is scary yet in the environment of close friends it's like letting go, jumping off the cliff and knowing to be caught in the arms of love.
Don't know if this makes sense... but that's how I often feel :-)

meg, ffs get rid of that soap!!

There is power, here, and imagery that makes me claustrophobic--makes me want to take a deep breath for you. I don't think that is down to what you describe, necessarily, but how you describe it. You describe it with such flawless resonance I am continually and perpetually amazed. The truth is, the truth in that breath I so desperately want to take for you is that I hope you're okay.
And---one day, come to England. I'll buy you some earl grey. Tea can fix so, so many things.

this makes me smile...
i want to say ...what you said...i knew--but now i know. i have this blog on a site called multiply where i've been blogging for almost 4 years and loving every minute of it...because you see...
i write for myself..i love love love to write...it lifts my spirits...to be able to pen what i want...how i want and most importantly..share it with who i want...because multiply has an option for setting it to contacts only...and i am choosy about who i add....
i did start a blogger page some time back...but i realised about myself ....what you are realising now...that to write well...one has to write honestly and one cannot write about only the goody goody stuff...esp. on a blog which is almost on daily basis..and you can't write the bummers because obviously you care about them...your family...and its not fair to put them out for public consumption....
what i CAN tell you is---YES--at times..you do seem monotonous...and make me want to be 25 and single again...paradox...grins ..isn't it ?
and at times...there is nothing more wonderful than sitting back with a cup of coffee and the daily dose of meg fee.
chin up and throw the damn soap out..for chrissakes !

Your words resonate with me so much and have for a while, but I have been a tad too shy to comment before.
But this post is exactly how I feel at the moment with my blog and what I write.
I hope you get some much needed air.
And I agree with the others get rid of that soap.

It's this dilemma that you have when you're writing. Your best work, the most felt, the most vibrant pieces you ever wrote - they alway remain unseen, unread, locked away, because they are too personal. Because they would be so incasive to the people around you.
Ah I hate that.

Well, all I have to say is that your blog is one of my favorites. You are not trying to brand yourself into some package. You are seeking to know and to be known and I love it. If you have to write a little cryptically here, I think that we all understand, and would prefer that you keep writing here, rather than go away into some anonymous place where we would miss out on your words. You are brave, and that helps us to be brave.

cotton candy comment:
i'm wiggling all over because i have theBEST blog tale of a first date gone horribly wrong that i can't share - we're talking camoflauged boots and a handlebar mustache and "what should we do after dinner? all the things i like to do for fun - like blow things up and shoot things - are illegal in 'the city'... " {since salt lake city is considered "the city" to the small town boy from the hills}.
... i can't blog them because i was set up on a date by one of my very own BLOG READER.... a mother/daughter team of readers who thought {and prayed} sparks would fly. i'm not sure what gave them that impression - was it the post about my new marc jacobs bag or the one about the relationship i'm forming with the girls at the nordstrom bobbi brown counter?
i can never share this classic story of my "adventures of being a girl" because all of the things i have to say about this poor woman's son would break her sweet back-country heart.
thanks for letting me get this out... buried deep in the anonymity of a stranger's blog comment where she will never find it.

Your writings are so powerful, they really echo within people. And I struggle sometimes with feeling un-feminist, as I am such an independent woman, yet when you're so in love with someone, you want to do those things for them... The cooking, the baking and the looking nice. I think that's just being in a relationship.

Just stumbled upon your blog today, thanks so much for sharing. I'll be back soon, can really relate to your posts :)
- Wednesday, July 06, 2011
Meg, your words are so achingly beautiful.
And let us not forget that the very basis of feminism is doing whatever the heck you want. If it would please you to go grocery shopping with someone or make them dinner and do their laundry then you can damn well do that whether it's "of the moment" or not.

Meg, I face some of the same issues in my own writing.
My blog is primarily so I can express myself, but also to allow people another way of getting to know me.
I wish I didn't have to hold back in my writing, but much of the time I do.
As a result, I have a whole pile of never-to-be-published posts that I wrote only for myself.

I felt that I couldn't write about Scott before we got married... and I hated it. It came out in the form of random letters and note and quotes for the by I longer for. Once we made it official it became easier to write about him, and about us.
I think a lot of bloggers know how you feel. Luckily, what you do manage to write is absolutely wonderful. We're all grateful for that!

I struggle with this all the time - Can I share this? What happens if I do? What happens if I don't?
I never seem to find the "right" answer and the questions never disappear. But sometimes I can write my way through it.
Thank you for sharing.

I think my own personal inability to not blog about all the things you know you shouldn't remind me I'd be a terrible actress. I'm sure you were great mostly because you're so talented in general. I cannot wait to buy note cards with your quotes on them one day.
- Thursday, July 07, 2011
- Kate said...
I really don't even know what to say. I think I know how you feel. It's so hard to write about real things, to admit that some people do matter.
And what you said about acting is kind of how I feel about piano. I've played for so long I feel like I shouldn't quit, like I don't know who I would be without it. But I just don't know if I can do it any more.

as the aspiring actress, i must say i am saddened that you lost your lust for the scene. HOWEVER, knowing that you have found a stronger passion to feed your soul is a comforting feeling, indeed. I wish you the best as your writing takes off and love your blog - it's a must read for me (like my trusty BACKSTAGE).

Regents Approve Roofing Contract, March 23, 2005
(George Zamora)
SOCORRO – The New Mexico Tech Board of Regents was briefed yesterday afternoon on the highlights of the recently concluded session of the New Mexico State Legislature, with particular focus on legislation that was approved by lawmakers pertaining to the state-supported research university.
During the governing board's March 22 meeting, New Mexico Tech President Daniel H. López characterized the 60-day legislative session as having been "very successful for state higher education, with only a few disappointments at the end."
New Mexico Tech will stand to gain from several bills that state legislators passed, López told the regents, including the following:
*an additional 6.7 percent more in state funding for many of the university's various research divisions;
*$1.2 million for needed furniture and equipment for the university's new Joseph A. Fidel Student Services Center;
*$1 million in annual funding for the statewide Technology Research Consortium (TRC), of which New Mexico Tech will act as the lead fiscal agent;
*$300,000 for an Aerosol Technology Research Center, a joint project with Tech and the Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute in Albuquerque being developed in conjunction with the TRC;
*$300,000 for a statewide aquifer mapping project to be conducted by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (NMBGMR);
*$275,000 for matching funds and to establish a petroleum library at the Petroleum Recovery Research Center's (PRRC) satellite office in Roswell;
*$150,000 for initial planning for a new building to house the NMBGMR;
*a $60,000 operating budget for the annual New Mexico Decision Makers Conference, which is hosted each year by the NMBGMR; and
*$40,000 for repairs and improvements at the New Mexico Tech Golf Course.
However, López also noted that funding appropriations that had been approved earlier in the legislative session for some of New Mexico Tech's research divisions, including the NMBGMR and the New Mexico State Mine Inspector's Office, were cut back, or "sanded," by four percent by the end of the session.
In addition, López told the Tech regents that about $35 million in approved capital projects for the state's various institutions of higher education, including New Mexico Tech, had been vetoed.
López also told regents that he and his administration would be trying to secure an additional one percent salary increase for all Tech employees in the coming fiscal year, on top of the two percent raise that is provided for in the recently passed state budget.
In official actions taken at its monthly meeting, the New Mexico Tech Board of Regents voted to accept an independent financial audit report of the university's financial statements by the firm of Neff + Ricci LLP. The independent auditor's report expressed and "unqualified opinion," meaning there was nothing amiss in their findings.
The board of regents also approved the appointment of Kristine C. Harper to the full-time, tenure-track position of assistant professor of history with New Mexico Tech's Department of Humanities.
The New Mexico Tech Board of Regents also granted academic tenure to both Penelope J. Boston, a research associate professor of cave and karst science at the university, and T. David Burleigh, associate professor of materials and metallurgical engineering at Tech.
In addition, the regents also granted academic tenure and promotion to associate professor to the following individuals:
*Mary Dezember, Department of Humanities;
*Junhang Dong, Department of Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Chemical Engineering;
*Kenneth B. Eack, Department of Physics;
*Susan L. Field, Department of Humanities;
*Alexander V. Prusin, Department of Humanities, and
*Lisa M. Young, Department of Physics.
Also acting in an official capacity as the university's governing board, Tech regents voted to approve a $599,000 contract bid made by low-bidder HRT Roofing and Construction, Inc. to begin repair work on the metal roofs of 19 buildings around the campus that were damaged by last year's devastating hailstorm.
During its March meeting, the New Mexico Tech Board of Regents re-elected Jerry A. Armijo as board chairman and Richard N. Carpenter as secretary-treasurer.

"iRecordMusic brings me closer to my dream of a radio-TiVo" —MacWorld
Surf, Listen, Record!
iRecordMusic enables you to easily record audio from web pages and Internet radio streams. If you can use a web browser, you can use iRecordMusic. Simply use iRecordMusic like a web browser to visit your favourite web-sites which play music, and with one click you can record the audio for later playback in iTunes or on your iPod.
"I really like your application. It records my favourite BBC show while I sleep, then I listen to it over breakfast, no matter what time I wake up. Perfect."
- Victor (User)
Recording audio for later playback is known as "time-shifting". With iRecordMusic you can record your favourite music stations, radio talk shows, sports broadcasts and more, and listen to the recordings at your own convenience - whenever and wherever you want.
You can also record the audio from video sources such as YouTube or QuickTime movies.
Fits Your Workflow
You can use iRecordMusic to record audio and still do your regular tasks like listening to music with iTunes, checking out new bands on MySpace, or watching some YouTube videos. You can record audio safe in the knowledge that system beeps or iChat sound effects won't interrupt your recordings. Not all recording solutions allow this.
Easy to use
There is no need to worry about installing system hacks, buying external hardware, or juggling different applications and writing technical scripts to glue them together, just to make a single recording. One application, iRecordMusic, is all you need.
iRecordMusic's innovative web interface means it can take advantage of any improvements to Apple's web browsing engine (also known as WebKit which is used to power Safari) and third-party Internet plug-ins (for playback of audio formats such as RealAudio and WindowsMedia). If you can play the audio from a web-page in Safari, you should be able to play and record it in iRecordMusic.

Information and nutritious facts:
Papaya fruit believed to be originated from Mexico and Central America, before being cultivated in Tropical countries.
The papaya plant is actually an overgrown herb, known as Herbaceous perennial.
Today, Papaya is the third tropical fruit most cultivated worldwide, after pineapple and mangoes.
A young fruit is green and can be eaten by preparing as a curry, salad, etc…
A ripen fruit has a golden – yellow outer skin. The flesh is rich yellow- orange or pinkish - orange, has a silky smooth sweet texture. The center of the fruit is packed of black seeds, which is edible too.
The fruit is natural source of digestive enzyme papain, which is a digestive aid and good at tenderizing meat. They are rich in folate, potassium, vitamin A, C, E and K. The fruit is known as a very good source of fiber and help protect again heart disease.
The papaya should be one of the top 3 items of your healthy fruit list.
No wonder why Christopher Columbus called Papaya: Fruit of the Angels.
For further elaborated details, nutritious facts check out the world healthiest food.

the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1: A View from Indian Territory
Questions for Reading 1
1. By January 29, 1861, which states had withdrawn from the Union and which states did Governor Rector believe were likely to secede soon? Do you think the Cherokee and the other nations would be more or less likely to join the Confederacy if they knew they would be allied with states like Alabama and Georgia? Why or why not? (If needed, refer to Setting the Stage.)
2. What, according to Governor Rector, makes "our people and yours...natural allies in war and friends in peace"? What advantages does he claim the Cherokee would get by joining the Confederacy? What does the letter suggest the Confederacy would gain?
3. What does the Governor say about the policy of the incoming administration of Mr. Lincoln towards abolition?
4. What provisions of the treaty between the U.S. and the Cherokee does Chief Ross cite in his response to Governor Rector? What does he conclude from these facts?
5. After Chief Ross says his nation cannot become allies with the Confederacy, how does he try to keep good relations with Arkansas and the rest of the South?
Reading 1 is excerpted from The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, Series I, vol. 13 (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1900) 490-492.

The Parallelism Rich or the Parallelism Poor ... Choose Wisely!
Not everybody has the "Watson Fever" (how unfortunate). IBM's demonstration of Watson on Jeopardy has reminded many that the race for Artificial Intelligence is still on. It's not as glamorous now as it once was, but the hunt persists, the prize is glorious and we are making significant strides (IBM's Watson).
But what's new was once old and what's old is now new. Tracey and I are still beating the Fifth Generation drum and we are convinced that some stones in that original project were left unturned (therefore wild goose chase continues). One of the major pillars in the Fifth Generation project was parallelism at all levels from the hardware through the operating system, right up to the application. The Fifth Generation progenitors were convinced that one of the keys to the secret of achieving true Artificial Intelligence could be found in the identifying the proper paradigm of parallelism. But go figure, after several decades not only have we not nailed down the proper paradigm for parallelism or massive parallelism in software development, many software developers are simply uninitiated as far as parallel programming or parallel software design is concerned. In the now dozens of conversations that we have had about the significance of Watson's performance, it was stunning to see how many of our fellow developers have never developed a cluster-based program or a parallel processing program on a parallel processor or even a multi-threaded program on a single processor machine for that matter. In reflecting over the conversations, a pattern definitely began to take shape. The folks that knew about parallelism and the issues tended to really know what the issues were and had something to contribute to the conversations about Watson. The folks that didn't know, really didn't know. I mean, they didn't degrade gracefully, they simply had no clue whatsoever what would be involved in designing or implementing massively parallel software on super computers or clusters. It is clear when it comes to this kind of programming and software development that we are developing the parallelism haves and the parallelism have-nots, the parallelism rich and the parallelism poor. The game is afoot, you either have to play hard or go home. Watson's latest demonstration was a turning of the page of sorts. The bar has been raised and challenge given, now what are you prepared to do?

Has anyone heard about these jedi churches poping up everywhere?

Has anyone heard about these jedi churches poping up everywhere?
yeah, bunch of wackos
i would love to got to one just to see how crazy it is
Jeez. That is too far. Sure there are obsessed fans, but this is ridiculous.
yea they're pretty serious about it, since Jedi is now an unofficially recognized religion.
Wow...People will follow anything nowa days.
Yeah theres gonna be one here in cincinnati
Wow. I would like to go to one once just to see what it's like. So what do they do, try to use the Force? Or are they just about the Jedi values?
My guess, just the jedi Values. It IS very creapy though.
Open the page to number 337: "...And Yoda said, let there be lightsabers, and he saw that they were good..."
Go in Mando armor and say you want revenge.
If there was one nearby me, and I had my armor done, I'd totally go. Just sit in the back and stare down anyone who looks. Do they were robes or something?
Probably...have you heard of the dude in England (I think that's where it was) dressed up as Darth Vader and hit people in the Jedi church with a cane? Revenge of the Sith for real...
Open the page to number 337: "...And Yoda said, let there be lightsabers, and he saw that they were good..."
Go in Mando armor and say you want revenge.
And He shun down upon Luke and spoketh "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try."
After Luke had whined Leia gave him the plans.
Yo thats crazy! I'd go at least once to see how nuts they really were. Then when they learned i knew more than they did, they'd kick me out for blasphemy.
I'd kill to see any of us go in full Beskar'gam and... find out if they were weak to the dark side.
where could you find out where they are? if theres one here in miami, im definitely crashing it.
where could you find out where they are? if theres one here in miami, im definitely crashing it.
That'd be funny if someone went there as Indiana Jones, with a friend in Boba Fett armor...hillarious.
do they hold sevice on sunday or what?

Jedi Doctrine
The Jedi church has no official doctrine or scripture. The Jedi church recognizes that all living things share a living force and that all people have an innate knowledge of what is right and wrong, and the Jedi Church celebrates this like no other religion.
Basic concepts of the Jedi faith that we at the Jedi Church would like to promote are the following:
The Basic Concepts
There is one all powerful force that binds the entire universe together. It is "an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together". This is a concept that most religions of the world concur with. Some refer to it as their deity, some refer to it as a life force, but the one thing nearly all religions agree with, is that there exists a single unifying force.
There are 2 sides to the force, the dark side and the light side. "Beware of the dark side... The dark side leads to fear. Fear leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering". Good versus Evil is a common element through most religions. The issues of good versus evil, right versus wrong permeate through the doctrines of all religions. Most religions attempt to state what is right and wrong, to establish their moral code. Sometimes religions make codes that don't reach a great consensus. Outsiders, and sometime insiders, begin to judge their religious code by something more powerful, something more innate, an innate ability to know what is right and wrong. This is the Jedi's belief, that morality, good and evil, are all axioms of the force, and that we must listen to the force so that we will know the right thing to do.
Can good exist without evil? The Jedi believe that good and evil are only axioms of the all powerful and unifying force. The force contains all that is good and all that is bad. We all are free and sentient beings who have the capability to do good or evil. It is our choice of direction that determines if we do good or evil. The existence of good and evil is necessary for freewill.
So in summary, listen to the force, and beware the dark side!
History of Our Religion
The force has always existed and always will.
Our faith in the force existed well before the fictional Star Wars movies brought popular recognition to the terminology and concepts that our members always innately held, but had difficultly describing in a shared forum.
When the movement to answer Jedi to the religion question in the NZ census began, it was incredible to see how quickly word spread, and just how many people embraced the new popular name of their shared innate religion. With such immediacy, people from all around the world followed suit, now having an obvious and common name for their deeply held religious and moral convictions. It is the speed and numbers of people involved in the census movement, that show just how powerful the concepts of the Jedi Faith are.
The terminology used by the Jedi Church were introduced by the fictional Star Wars movies, and often references are made to the movies by our members, as a conceptual demonstration of how some might ascribe to the higher levels of a Jedi faith, in a far away land, a long time ago. The fact remains, that these concepts merely reflect a deep held innate morality, that we all have inside us, and now we have some common terminology and place to share our thoughts with each other. This morality existed prior to the movies. The movies do not in any way legitimise nor negate the legitimacy of the Jedi Church. They are merely a discussion point.
The Jedi Church neither confirm nor deny that George Lucas is a member of the Jedi Church. We do not mind if our members deny their involvement in our church should they seek to avoid persecution.
The Jedi Church movement is now progressing to gain legal status as a separate legal entity just like any other corner Church congregation. We have already received confirmation that Jedi themed marriages may be conducted by registered celebrants (registered cellebrants with the Department of Internal Affairs in NZ), in a manor no different, nor less recognised in law than any Christian marriage or marriage of any other religion or denomination.
Is the Jedi Religion Fiction?
Is the Jedi religion fiction? Many religions claim to be the one and only true religion, thus necessitating that all other religions are fictitious. In addition, although many religions claim to speak the word of God, but the truth is they are only the written word of prophets or followers of the religion. There is no way to prove or deny that what was written was the word of God. Several other religions openly admit that their text is not the word of God, and that it is only a prescribed behavior or a philosophy of life (e.g. Buddhism, Scientology). Most non fiction is a discussion of science and life, of things that can be observed, quantified and readily challenged for its truth and authenticity. But not religion. Any religion put to scrutiny is merely words on paper, with no ability to confirm its authenticity. The Jedi church makes no denial that its name and terminology originates from a fictitious past, but the concepts and ideals that are identified by Jedi followers are known for their innate truth. The sun existed before it was given a name, and it could be revered as a God, however, when the sun finally had a human name, it could be written about and communicated with others. The Jedi religion is just like the Sun, it existed before a popular movie gave it a name, and now that it has a name, people all over the world can share their experiences of the Jedi religion, here in the Jedi Church.
So in summary, no religion is truth. It is all just a matter of faith.
What Right Do We Have to Start a Jedi Church?
What right does anyone have to start a church? If a group of like minded people wish to organise a place and a structure to practise and discuss their religious thoughts, then that is the right of anyone who lives in a free and fair society. As soon as enough people are involved, they experience administrative issues that create costs too much for any single member to bear on their own. At that stage it is necessary that the organisation may create its own legitimate status to operate bank accounts and manage its own set of financial accounts, which are not to the betterment of any individual, and are long lasting should any founding members pass on.
Lets consider the Church of Scientology. About 60 years ago, a fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard wrote a body of beliefs and related practices. Hubbard chose only later to characterize his writings as an "applied religious philosophy" and since it has gained legal recognition as an official religion in many western countries. Unlike the Church of Scientology, we will not harass members of the public, nor ex members of our Church. We welcome all those who wish to join, and we farewell all those who wish to leave. We only request that the Jedi Church is given every legal right and recognition that is given to other legal and recognised churches in our society, and that our members be free to practise their religion free from persecution.
Why do you charge for membership certificates?
It is free to be a member of the church, but it costs money to print and post a certificate. The certificate fee covers those costs, plus a little more for web hosting. If we get alot of memberships in a year and have any spare funds, then these will be donated to charity. The church is a non profit organisation. The certificate does not make you a Jedi, it just makes you a member of our church, no more, no less. It is up to you if you want to be a Jedi, you will still be judged by your peers as to your Jedi worthyness and your compliance to the Jedi ways.
Something inside of me shriveled up and died just now after reading some of that. I actually feel a bit ashamed to call myself a fan right now. See, this is exactly why the non-fans think we're all fat 40 year old losers who think we're really Jedi.
I'm never ashamed to call myself a fan...I'm kind of like a jock at school, and never ashamed to admit my fandom. Just know that it's other fat, 40 year old losers who made the Jedi Church. I(Just a joke, making fun of our stereotype)
Thats just ridiculous. Honestly....its creepy. Sure, I enjoy SW as a general whole. Some Jedi are cool, and the possibilities of what the Force could do are interesting, as shown in Force Unleashed, etc. I'm working on my own Mando armor, and would, on a small level, call myself a Mando'ad, in that I admire their fictional culture and strength, and like to...embody some of the more admirable qualities they are described as having.
Basically, strength, bravery, being totally badass in every way. But just because they're cool. I recognize that its fiction, but the "Jedi Church" takes it far beyond "They've got good qualities that I can benefit from trying to have". Which is where the creepy factor comes into play.
Wow. Just...wow. That's beyond words. *curls up and blinks repeatedly*
Not to mention thet their "code" is them repeating everything said in the movies...I think two people at least should go to one of the Jedi Curch's sessions, one dressed up as a Mandalorian, and one as an evil Sith...Say stuff that will contradict their code or something like that.
Good thing I don't love Star Wars that much. I'd still go to that church, videotape a session, and stick it on YouTube for the lols.

CHOW loves holiday parties. But sometimes we feel "tradition" could use some help. Take Oktoberfest. We love drinking good beer and eating hearty grub with our friends when the weather turns cool. But we wanted to do something lighter and more complex than bratwursts and salty sides. So we created Moktoberfest: a feast with traditional ingredients like pork and spätzle, but put together in more interesting ways.
To create the menu, we tweaked classic dishes and cooked up new ones inspired by cuisines of German-speaking Europe. Our onion tart with leeks and crème fraîche, for example, is a riff on flammenküche, a tart with cream, onions, and bacon found in the area around Alsace. The butter lettuce and pumpkin seed salad is a nod to the fact that the German-Austrian border produces the most pumpkin seeds of any European country. For dessert, we deconstructed traditional Black Forest cake into a creamy layered parfait with chocolate cookies. But rest assured: The spätzle, the side dish of comforting dumplings, is traditional. You don't mess with spätzle.
We asked a beer sommelier for some interesting pairings: Phil Baxter of the LAX Four Points by Sheraton hotel in Los Angeles, which boasts more than 75 bottled beers from all over the world. For each course, there are two suggested brews: One is a complement, containing flavors that marry with the dish; the other is a contrast, to offset and show off flavors. With the Black Forest "Strata," for example, we pair the complementary Lindemans Kriek Lambic, which we use to soak the dessert's cherries. For the salad, we recommend Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout, dark and malty but more mellow than a traditional stout. The barley in the nose and the good malt flavor offset the tartness of the salad dressing. You don't have to choose one or the other: We got both at Suppenküche, San Francisco's modern yet homey German restaurant, and had fun sampling them all.
You'll also find lots more information about German beers, as well as handy tips on how to make spätzle, stuff pork chops, and shape pie crusts.

I'm planning to use this thread to report on my experience and track my progress.
I do have one question however to start out:
How common is it for a person to still have blurred vision ( I can drive during the day but prefer not too) 10 days after Lasik and still have everything turn out well (at least 20/20)?
My experience:
I had -5.50 in each eye. The day after Lasik my vision was blurred but just barely good enough for me to drive myself to the 1 day followup.
The doc said I had 20/20 vision and I was speechless because frankly my vision sucked. The only clear things were things close to me (within 5 ft).
day 3 my vision was slightly better.
days 4-8 my vision was worse than days 2 or 3. I had a bit of a freak out about this time. I've decided that it is not good to hear a doc. tell you that your vision is 20/20 when your vision sucks. Also no one at the clinic I went to explained what I should expect (what is normal) as far as recovery goes. They sort of made it seem like the normal thing is to see almost perfectly the next day. Is that normal??
day 9 it seemed to be (maybe) slightly better
day 10 I'm having a bit of irritation in my left eye and maybe my vision is slightly better but it's still very frustrating trying to function with this lack of accuity. I have what seems to be perfect vision right after I put eyedrops in my eye... until I blink a few times and then the clarity is gone.
I'll keep posting updates but if anyone can answer my question above it would be appreciated. (What is "normal" recovery?)

FERRISBURGH — The Agency of Transportation could install traffic lights at the North Ferrisburgh intersection of Route 7 with Stage and Old Hollow roads within three years, according to a VTrans memo. But a roundabout at that location could be another option, according to the Addison County Regional Planning Commission (ACRPC).
Ferrisburgh and regional planning officials last week said they were encouraged by a VTrans pledge to study the intersection and plan for upgrades to an intersection town residents and officials alike have said is dangerous.

ADDISON COUNTY – A new Addison County advisory group has eyes on the road and an ear to the ground when it comes to walking and biking.
MIDDLEBURY — In a confirmation of its previous support, the Addison County Regional Planning Commission (ACRPC) board voted 23 to 9 on Wednesday, July 1, to continue its support of Phase I of Vermont Gas Systems' Addison Natural Gas Project.
Editor's note: The following letter was presented to the Addison County Regional Planning Commission on June 11.
I have decided to resign from my position on the Monkton Planning Commission.
MIDDLEBURY — Last month the Addison County Regional Planning Commission installed two charging stations for electric and plug-in vehicles on the east side of their Seminary Street building in Middlebury.
The chargers are part of a larger project to introduce and test the feasibility of electric and plug-in vehicles in Vermont. The planning commission last year outfitted a used Toyota Prius with an extra 5-kilowatt battery that gives the car up to 100 miles to the gallon.
PANTON — What should be the last public step in adopting Panton's new town plan comes on Thursday, when the Addison County Regional Planning Commission will hold its required hearing on the document at Panton Town Hall. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m.
The proposed plan has already successfully navigated planning commission and selectboard hearings, and the selectboard adopted the plan earlier this summer.
