In "Resistance and Transformation," a Tapestry of Faith program
Explain that you (or two volunteers) will present a mock debate between John Haynes Holmes and William Howard Taft about the United States' response to World War I. The focus of this debate is not necessarily historical accuracy, but to present the main arguments from each side with passion and sympathy.
Assign participants in the audience to act as pro-Holmes, pro-Taft, or neutral listeners.
Give the debaters three minutes each to make their case. Then allow five minutes for questions and rebuttals from the "audience." Encourage audience participants to ask questions of the debaters. Direct the debaters to supply their own answers in support of their assigned position. Afterward, ask participants to reflect:

Hi everyone!
I have just ordered the Rio Ab Belt from an online vendor and I am eagerly awaiting its arrival. I was hoping to tap into the forums knowledge of the system and ask a few specific questions: 1. Results: Does anyone out there use this system? How often? What are the results (favorable and otherwise)? Have you had any fat loss or simply toning of the muscles?
2. Health Concerns: Is it safe to use on a very regular basis? Has it left any burns or scars? As far as intensity levels go, what should you start at and when does it begin to damage muscle tissue? I know it's a lot to ask of everyone, but knowledge is power and I do appreciate it heartily! If you like, please email me, I would love to have a veteran Rio users to chat with. (email@example.com) Thank you!

'Only the Young' Directors Jason Tippet and Elizabeth Mims on Capturing Real Teen Life and Romance Without the Dramatic Cliches
Features By Christopher Campbell on December 5, 2012 | Comments (3)Don't call it a skater film. And definitely don't dismiss it for being a documentary. Only the Young is simply an extraordinary real-life teen movie, one I've previously compared favorably to the fiction works of John Hughes and Cameron Crowe. It's like Pretty in Pink and Say Anything mashed together but true and even more honest and heartwarming and beautifully shot. The film follows best friends Garrison and Kevin, who are skateboarders and evangelical Christians and punk fans and, most importantly, just teenage boys. We also meet Skye, a girl who Garrison dates then breaks up but stays close friends with. She's dealing with looming foreclosure on her home, while the guys explore abandoned houses and mini-golf courses, all of this making for a timely story of youth amidst the depressing economic landscape of America in recent years. But it's also a timely story that anyone who is or once was a kid can genuinely relate to. Only the Young, which opens in New York City this Friday, is the debut feature of Jason Tippet and Elizabeth Mims, whose own proximity to their teenage years (they were in their early twenties while filming) benefited their film's ability to capture such a candid, casual record of a trio at certain uncontrollable crossroads of life. It's a sweet film, one I fell in love with and will name as one of the best of 2012, and not just for documentary. I chatted with the two directors earlier this week about the making […]
New York City Rejects! See 'Only the Young' For Free This Weekend
Features By Scott Beggs on December 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe exclusive clip above is from the new documentary, Only the Young, from directors Elizabeth Mims and Jason Tippet. The pair followed teenagers in a small Southern California town around and actually came away with a coming-of-age story hidden amongst the foreclosed homes. Without exaggeration, it looks like it was shot in a wasteland world where only teenagers exist. And we're giving you a chance to see it for free this weekend at the IFC Center in beautiful New York City. What could be better than that? You get to choose when you want to see it.

Exclusive Trailer Debut: 'Only the Young' Is a Truly Wonderful True Teen Movie
Movie Posters By Christopher Campbell on November 9, 2012 | Be the First To CommentFresh from its Audience Award win at AFI FEST yesterday, the amazing and beautiful nonfiction teen movie Only the Young has a brand new trailer, and we're happy to unleash it out into the world. Directed by newcomers Jason Tippet and Elizabeth Mims, a duo who can't seem to get away from being called the filmmakers of tomorrow, this candid look at a trio of evangelical skate punks in a Southern California desert town is one of the most honest movies I've seen in a long time. And it deserves to be seen no matter any of your prejudices against documentary (you'll often forget it is one), religious youth (you'll forget all about Jesus Camp) or the plethora of lookalike skater films (beyond its skin, there are no similarities between this and 2011's Dragonslayer). Believe me that you'll fall in love with this movie, as I and so many festival audiences have already. Only the Young introduces us to best friends Garrison and Kevin, goofy teens just hanging out and growing up with little to do in a suburban community that's clearly seen devastating effects of the economic crisis. Along comes Skye and a new kind of close relationship for Garrison, but more girl friend than girlfriend. In fact, Garrison eventually starts dating another girl at school. There's jealousy, heartbreak, tears, but also a lot of warm, heartfelt talks and many laughs. It really is a lot like a real-life John Hughes movie, as is hinted at in a blurb […]

Devendra Banhart to Release New Album Mala, No Date Confirmed
December 10th, 2012
Since the release of his album, What Will We Be, in 2009, Devandra Banhart seems to have fallen off of the map, however, now the artist has announced news of an upcoming album and even proposed an upcoming tour.
According to Pitchfork, Banhart has switched labels and will be producing this album through Nonesuch instead of Warner Bros. Although there is no established date for the album release, Banhart has already decided on the title Mala. Though the artist hasn't released any songs from the new album, he did play two new songs at a performance in Chile in February. The live performance can be viewed below and will hopefully hold you over until the long anticipated release of this new album.

A Memorial Day Message from a Gold Star Mother
Move America Forward | May 28, 2012
Enjoying your three-day weekend? We hope so. We wish all of our supporters a happy Memorial Day, but we also want to remind everyone who we have to thank for the privilege of observing this holiday, our troops.
While back home we have the privilege of getting everyone together for a family cook out or bbq, our troops are still fighting a war in Afghanistan. Our troops don't get to have a barbecue, unless they get really inventive, like this Marine who improvised a very crude grill over some rocks.
And the main course for this Afghanisgtan cookout? SPAM. That's their idea of a Memorial Day BBQ. Kind of makes you appreciate the luxurious surroundings and supermarkets we enjoy at home, doesn't it?
Every  summer, Move America Forward spends a month focusing on supporting one particular  unit deployed in Afghanistan. We select this unit based on the difficulty of  their mission and the danger level in the region of Afghanistan in which they  are fighting. We have selected 800 Marines from the 2nd MEF to support and  we'll continue raising money until we have enough to send support to all 800  of these troops, who are operating in 2 of the most dangerous provinces in  Afghanistan. We have currently raised enough to help 582 of the Marines, but that means  we're still short by 291! With Memorial Day tomorrow, are  we really going to allow 218 Marines to go without support?? |
A Move  America Forward Memorial Day Message From Gold Star Mother Debbie  Lee |
Proclamation to Reclaim Memorial Day
The commercials on TV are calling us to purchase, cars, furniture, clothing, appliances, electronics or a myriad of other things to "Celebrate Memorial Day†with their huge blowout sales! Our Parks and Recreation programs are declaring summer has arrived by opening our pools and encouraging us to come join in the fun and laughter this Memorial Day weekend. It saddens me and breaks my heart to see that most of America has taken advantage of this 3 day weekend as a reason to party, shop and celebrate for self-fulfillment.  As a country we have lost our focus and the reason why we take time to stop and respectfully, solemnly and reverently remember those who gave up their last breath and hope of a future, so that we could enjoy each and every day. We have failed our children by not educating them as to the real meaning of Memorial Day.
As I child I remember getting together with family for picnics or bar-b-ques. We looked forward to camping trips or trips to the lake. There were a few trips I remember to the cemetery but it was to place flowers on deceased relative's graves who had never served in the military. I thought Memorial Day was to remember loved ones who had died. I wasn't taught and therefore I missed the opportunity to teach my children that Memorial Day is to remember those who paid the ultimate price. Freedom comes with a price, freedom's not free .
It really was my son Marc Alan Lee who taught me about Memorial Day . The way he lived his life and the value he placed on others' lives, caused him to sacrifice his life defending his teammates and our freedoms. Marc was the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq 8-2-06. "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.†John 15:13
The orders from Gen. John A. Logan declare "The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit. "
General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery on the first Observance of Memorial day and then 5,000 patriots decorated the graves of 20,000 soldiers buried in the cemetery. I am so proud of the boy scouts who every year place flags on my son's grave and every headstone at Fort Rosecrans. I know that many others throughout the nation will be doing the same at National Cemeteries all over our country, thank you!
Waterloo, NY was declared by President Johnson as the official birthplace of Memorial Day. He recognized that this was a city who understood the real meaning of Memorial Day. They knew that Memorial Day was to honor America's mighty warriors who sacrificed their lives in combat defending our freedoms. Businesses closed, community wide events were planned to honor our brave warriors who were killed in action and residents gathered and decorated the graves of our heroes. How sad that there are businesses in America who take advantage of this holiday and choose to increase their profits instead of sacrificing a little by closing to remember the sacrifice of our fallen war heroes.
I speak for all of the Gold Star families who have lost a loved one in combat, that every day for us is Memorial Day. With pride and pain we remember them; we remember their smile, their voice, their smell, their touch, their laughter, their character, their dedication and their sacrifice. As a nation we ask that on Memorial Day, one day out of the year that as a Nation we corporately come together to honor our fallen heroes who died in combat. That's not asking too much for the blessings and freedoms that you enjoy every day.
I've read many articles about Memorial Day and heard quotes from speeches from well-meaning people, even from our leaders in the military, who seem to not completely understand that Memorial Day is the Day we remember those heroes, who while serving in the military, died in combat. We have Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day to remember our Vets. Personally not a day goes by that I don't remember our Vets, not matter when they served, or the branch of service they were in. I've dedicated my life to honoring, thanking and supporting our military and especially the families of the fallen, but on May 28th, Memorial Day join with me as we "Remember†not "Celebrate†those who gave their all for you and I.
Join with me as I lead the charge to reclaim Memorial Day. Attend Parades and community events to remember our fallen heroes. Take a carload of friends and family to a National Cemetery and decorate the graves and remember the sacrifice of a hero and their family. Thank the family members of those you know who lost a loved one in combat. Take a Gold Star family to lunch, coffee, dinner and ask them about their hero. Do something to let them know you have not forgotten the sacrifice and understand the high price that has been paid for our freedoms. Read a story of a fallen hero, watch a memorial video, then pass it on to those whose lives you have influence on. If you're a business, close on May 28th to honor and remember our fallen or donate the proceeds from the day to a charity who tells the stories of our fallen or who takes care of the families of the fallen. Our fallen heroes gave their very last breath defending you and they have earned the respect due them on Memorial Day.
Remembering their Sacrifice!
Debbie Lee
Gold Star Mother of

I feel like Burl Ives as the snowman when he opens up Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. The storms that blew in the past couple of weeks were of mythic proportions. Snow plows were called back in and drifts got as high as six feet. I've read some stories on here that made me cringe with what people have had to do in order to keep livestock alive and somewhat comfortable up north and mid-west.
You have to understand in Maryland snow is somewhat of a novelty. It happens occasionally and sometimes we might get a whopping six inches, which will take us days to get out from. But, for the most part we have mild winters. This year however, has proven the exception is sometimes the rule.
It started in September, when my wife read a long range ACCU-Weather forecast. According to the document, Maryland was in for one of its worst winters in recent history. "Should we stock up on dry goods," I asked skeptically. Only to be subjected to an evil stare. "Okay, smarty, but we'll have to see what comes of it". Famous last words and just two mere weeks ago (in August) we were looking forward to winter.
Those were the good old days, not only have we gotten snow falls but the number of snow falls have increased this year along with the total amount. It started in November and has not let up. So the big two and a half foot snow fall that came in February hit us pretty hard. We had a hard time walking out to the barn. What usually takes a minute took forty-five minutes to dig our way to the building. Once we made it to the barn we had to dig the front and back barn doors open. When I got the tractor started (I had already put the snowplow on) I let it warm up and assessed the situation.
We had already setup the electric and run cables to all the chicken houses. We had purchased outside junction boxes to plug extension cords in and then run lines to the houses. We have a forty-six horse power John Deere tractor, which has served us well for the past nine years. Never in that time did I experience what I was about to face. The tractor has four-wheel drive and slip differential. It is equipped for this type of work. Just not the height of snow we got. By the time the second blizzard hit the tractor was used more as a battering ram then a snow plow. I would have taken the blow off and put the bucket on but we couldn't find the bucket buried under the snow.
I spent a total of fifteen hours on that tractor in the combined snow falls in those seven days. I was bounced and jostled and at times looked like I was riding a bucking bronco. My saving grace was the seat belt and roll bar. By the end of each day the aches and pains made it seem like I was boxing. Every joint and muscle tissue was screaming at me.
The morning after the first blizzard I pulled the tractor out of the barn and went were the snow would let me. I couldn't put the plow down because the tractor would quickly come to a stop from the snow. I drove where the snow was lowest and tried to get to the driveway and the house. Try to picture this; we have roughly forty tillable acres of land. Now on that forty acres of land and under three feet of snow is a little four inch by four inch square that has three electrical outlets. These outlets serve the hen houses, keeping the water from freezing and providing heat in the sub-freezing temperatures.
Most of you already know where this is heading and yes out of forty acres covered in three feet of snow I was able to find the electrical junction box with the back tire of the tractor. It gets better, as I was putting the tractor away for the day I decided to plow around the back of the barn. Hoping I could eliminate the slope that almost tipped the tractor over I started moving snow. I don't think of these things until it is too late, but we had power running from the barn to the electrical junction box. What damage I did to the box paled in comparison to how I plowed the electric cord in half. After seeing the orange cord lying in a field of white I realized what I did. Sitting on the tractor after about nine hours of playing bucking bronco, I now had to string new electric to a new junction box, under three feet of snow. Good thing I ran over the junction box with the tractor and compact the snow into a brick. Anyone could have followed the cord through soft fluffy snow. I just can't win, worse yet I'm standing in sub-freezing temperatures steam pouring out the top of my hat.
I had to trace from the break to the smashed junction box. All in all it took me another hour to get electricity back to the houses. By the end of the first day I was exhausted, my poor wife didn't fair any better. She shoveled around the houses trying to give the birds some room to roam. I know technically they are free range, but are they really if all they have is snow to walk on?
By the time the second storm hit and dropped another two feet of snow we hadn't really recovered from the first. We had drifts as high as five feet in some places and other areas looked like they were never touched. As I was walking out to the barn that evening I fell and when I fell I was completely covered in snow and I couldn't get up. No problem, last I looked my wife was coming behind, I thought, so I can use her to get up. I turned back and didn't see anything because of the snow. I stuck my hand up and waved, lifted up on my knees I could see just over the snow edge. No one was coming and I couldn't see her anywhere. Trying my best was not making it. I would start to get up only to have my low center of gravity work against me. I was closer to the barn and decided to crawl there. I had a thought, "I am not calling 911 to have someone come and pick me up."
I started crawling towards the barn door, as I got close I felt a large block of compacted snow from the first blizzard. I lifted myself up and triumphantly rose to my feet and raised my arms in the typical Rocky pose. I turned around to see my wife staring at me with a look I've seen many times. I was completely covered in snow and what facial features were showing was covered too. I explained my glee at not having to call the fire department and in her inimitable fashion she patted me on the back and asked if I was ready to continue. "I had a near death experience," I explained to her, shouldn't I be allowed to go back inside and collect myself first? After a brief chuckle we both headed back to barn to redo everything we had done the day before.
We had some damage but not much and did lose one chicken so we got away pretty lucky compared to others. Snows have melted and I have seen the first peak of strawberry plant coming out of the burlap covering. I'm starting to get a stronger feeling of anticipation and I'm getting ready to hook the tiller up. The plans have been set and communicated to our customers.
We'll hold interviews this coming weekend and decide who will make up this years team. The days are getting longer and the chickens a little harder to get in at night. But it seems that things are once again starting to fall into place.

Personally I do not know you Josh and have never spoken to you, but I have no issues with you being a homosexual. Just like I wouldn't expect anyone to think of me for being different about being straight. But here is my thing. I do not know why it is a big deal that people who may have a difference from the norm feel like they have to tell the whole world. I mean I don't tell the whole world that I am short, a little over weight and like to scrapbook... It is just stuff people know about me.
Just know people will like you for you and not "what you might be." Whether you are straight, gay, black, white, purple, tall, short. You shouldn't HAVE to tell people what you are. Let them find out on their own. And if they start acting mean or weird towards you, then they were never really your friends.. So I am sure you parents will find out but I don't think you have to announce it to the world because people will like you for you.

Theme Party Thursday: Monograms & Margaritas Bridal Shower
Mimosas are great and all, but for a fun spin on the traditional, host a Monograms and Margaritas bridal shower. We love this idea because it adds a bit of pizzazz, while still keeping with a timeless theme. Monogramming is so accessible now, and each guest should have no trouble finding the perfect piece to personalize for the bride to be. Not only will the guest of honor be well stocked with mementos, but margaritas too.

I exercise everyday , doing weight lifting and cardio and I've actually increased the weight lifting and switched to higher intensity cardio .Anyway I've stepped on the scale and it says I'm actually 20 pounds heavier than last month , people say I look the same , it's unoticeable but I feel like I've gained a lot . My face looks puffier , I've noticed my breasts are a bit bigger than they were before , I feel like my thighs are bigger and I've just gained more fat . I don't know what to do , I feel like no matter how shitty it makes me feel I keep eating like crap and I've had a few breakdowns this month already just because I'm so frustrated with myself for destroying something I've worked so hard for .

You get up in the morning and find your local roads filled are with illegally dumped rubish ! How are you going to react?
In Cheshire Illegal dumping is one of the most annoying violations and is often carried out by the residents of our community. Some part of the illegal dumping is also done by cowboy builders disposing of construction debris or other items. Haulers find it easier and cheaper to unload their lorries in a secluded areas like villages such as barrow than to dispose of their rush at the loacal cheshire landfill. From broken tv's and fridges to old bricks to old mattresses, discarded where it shouldn't be.
A warning alert has been raised for the people who are dumping illegally in Cheshire West and Chester . The local authority is investing in first of its kind 24-hour surveillance camera to catch illegal tippers. The reason behind such a step is that it costs much more to pick up after Illegal Dumping than it does to dispose of collected trash from homes or construction sites.
Cestrian Signs will be printing these signs

... it's not in the kitchen, and it's not tile. If you recall, I was considering a VCT checkerboard for the kitchen (thread here), and thinking about extending it into the DR, and the playroom. I still haven't decided what to put in the kitchen and DR, but since I've been 'stuck', I decided to try something in the playroom. That room doesn't have much furniture, isn't necessary on a daily basis (as a kitchen is), and has several entrances, so it's easy to work on. After reading about resilient vinyl planks, I briefly considered that type of flooring--even bought a box to try in the room. I liked the look, but the cost would have been ap. $500 for the 240 (m/l) sq.ft room. And, I had read that there are often mold issues because the vinyl doesn't let moisture from the crawlspace evaporate. We live on soggy clay, so I didn't want to chance using the vinyl. A friend had suggested that I paint the OSB sub-floor until I decided what type of permanent flooring to use, but I didn't want the bumpy surface that would naturally look like painted OSB. I'd found a blog that described how a couple had installed a plywood floor, so I decided to try that. Instead of cutting the plywood into planks, I laid 4x8 sheets, then scored grooves to simulate 8" planks. Following are my pics, and instructions, if anyone else is crazy enough to try this: First sheet of hardwood underlayment plywood, lined up with the joists. Plywood finished, using ring-shank nails and construction adhesive. (The scrap piece has sample grooves cut with a circular saw, router, and by hand. I didn't want to build a jig for the saw or router, so I decided to go the by-hand route--I should have my head examined.) Grooves finished. It took a long time to do this part, but cost me nothing in materials (except knife blades). I had marked my nail placement on a 4' template, leaving room for the lines. I used a laser level to mark the 'edge' lines, from one end of the room to the other (LOL, had to wait until after dark to mark them!), then used the 4' level as a straight edge. I cut one side of the groove, using a utility knife, then moved the level over 1/16", and cut the other side. I had to make a couple of passes with the knife to clean out the groove, and had to change blades often. I used a small file to pry out stubborn pieces. A coat of oil-based primer, a base coat of satin latex (mixed some left-over colors), a coat of 'Dry Earth' latex porch and floor paint, and I'm ready to measure and tape the designs. I forgot to take pictures of the taped design, but this is the finished hopscotch board. And here's my checkerboard! I plan to use some wood scraps to make checkers and chess pieces, so the grands can lay on the floor to play. Close-up of hopscotch square. I used some of the 'Adobe White' cabinet paint, and some metallic paint left over from the accent wall in the LR. Then used three coats of water-based sealer, to protect the paint. Since I used some left over paints and sealer, the cost of the floor was about $150.00. Compare that to $500 for vinyl planks, or sheet vinyl. This is an experiment--I don't know how it will wear long term. If it holds up well, I may do the same thing in the kitchen and DR. And, there's no harm done--it's underlayment--it can eventually be covered with vinyl, tile, or hardwood. I still need baseboard trim, door trim, and thresholds, but it's so gloomy and overcast here today, I wanted to share my fun floor. A few more pics: If anyone is thinking about doing this, and has questions, I'll be happy to help. (Edited to correct spelling, of course :P) **Editing to try to add a photo: |

I LOVE IT! That took a lot of skill and patience. |

That is so awesome. What a fun room. Is that a built in bunk over by the French doors? |
- Posted by mama_goose (My Page) on Sun, Jan 13, 13 at 16:36
tuesday_2008 and marymarymaryk, thank you! What looks like a bunk is a game table sitting in the window seat, to keep it up off the floor until the sealer cures for a few days. The seat cushion is laying on the table top--I didn't realize that it looked so much like a mattress. The table usually sits in front of the other window seat. In the other window seat, the cushion is leaning against the wall. |

Geeze, I never saw anything like it. That had to take patience - I would have gone crazy. Congrats! |
It looks great! Have the grands seen it yet? I can't believe you cut all that by hand. What hurt most afterward, your knees or your wrist? |
- Posted by mama_goose (My Page) on Sun, Jan 13, 13 at 18:26
schoolhouse, thank you, it helps if you're already 'round the bend. ;) marti, thank you. When the 5yr old saw the plywood, half-way through the installation, he cried because I was changing his floor. When it was time to paint the base coat, I gave him a 4" roller, and let him help. I had to go over it with the brush, but, lol, that's all it took--now it's his new floor, and he loves it! And even with the knee pads, these 55yr-old knees protested more than the wrist! |

WOW Mama_Goose. your floor looks amazing. What a fun space for the kids. I can just see/feel family gatherings there. You are so good at all you do. |
- Posted by EATREALFOOD (My Page) on Sun, Jan 13, 13 at 21:21
That looks great ! I hope you stocked up on wine to reward yourself(while in a nice warm bath). Before we got our counters installed we lived with plywood counters...and with plywood floors. Himself was getting to really like the plywood, and I mean really like it--no muss no fuss, spill something no problem...I knew I had to get the show moving and order the counters before he got too comfortable. I tell you though in any future reno I would definitely try these "temporary" floors. I love painted wood floors. Does anyone know what type of wood is usually painted, poplar ? |
Beautiful job and what a fun room. I love the swings, the floor- a perfect place for kids! |
I love the swings too. I'd be tempted to swing in them. |
Love your floor. This gives me an idea for my mudroom later this summer, and possibly the kitchen. |

shades, thank you! Our last family dinner was on New Years Day. I'm always so busy trying to get dinner set up, I forget to take pictures--I'll try to remember to get a few next month. Lol, EATREALFOOD, if you look at the first pic in the linked album, you will see our fancy T-111 countertop that we used for 2 1/2 years. Dare I say that I kinda' miss it? I'm sorry, I don't know much about painted floors--maybe ask in the flooring forum. LauraNJ and marti, thank you--one of my fondest memories is of my mother and my late husband, swinging side-by-side, like two little kids. I have to confess that I use the swings, too--it's very relaxing. We also have rings and a trapeze bar that we can switch out--I do not use those! Brenda89, thank you. I'll try to keep this thread updated, if I have any issues with the flooring. |
Mama Goose- Did you have to do anything special to attach the swings? I am so tempted to do swings now. My husband would be onboard with it as he and I both swing with the kids. Swinging is just so calming, makes you feel like you are 5 again when everything around you is a new adventure. |
- Posted by mama_goose (My Page) on Mon, Jan 14, 13 at 21:19
LauraNJ, those mounting hooks are the same type that would be used for a porch swing. We spaced them so that we can hang a porch swing, using the two outside hooks. There is a room upstairs, so the joist is 2x10. The seats are scrap pieces of 2x10, rounded off, sanded, and painted. If you need close-ups of any of the hardware, let me know. The chains slip off the hooks for easy removal--we take the swings down every month to set up folding tables for a family dinner. I mounted hooks on the chalkboard frame, to store the swings, rings and bar, when they're not in use. I had to learn this when I was in 3rd grade: The Swing How do you like to go up in a swing, Up in the air and over the wall, Till I look down on the garden green, Robert Louis Stevenson |

I love it! I've been thinking about putting a hopscotch and chess board out in the garden, but this is even better :) If only we lived closer, I'd love to see your home in person! |
- Posted by mama_goose (My Page) on Mon, Jan 14, 13 at 21:59
You are all invited to come over and swing with me. :) Lavender, I wish we lived closer--I'd help you with your hopscotch and chess boards. I'll bet the nieces and nephews will love them! |
I know that poem :). Thanks for the info on the hardware. I just have to figure out where I can do this. Thank you so much for sharing! |
Mama Goose, this is way cool!! Your grands are very fortunate to have such a playful space to visit. Thank you for sharing the how to details! |
Love, love, love it!!! I've always wanted to paint a design on a wood floor. I have my chance to do that in the glass house I built. Now I just need to wait for warm weather. The swing idea is charming :) |
- Posted by mama_goose (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 13 at 20:27
LauraNJ, you are welcome. I hope your family has a wonderful time with the swings. BTW, the ceilings in that room are only 92" (same as the kitchen), so high ceilings aren't necessary. daisyblue, thank you. I think I am fulfilling all my childhood fantasies. :) rafor, thank you. I remember your equally charming glass house--I hope you'll post pictures when your floor is finished. |
What a fun place for the kids to play and so very creative! I hope it holds up well but I suspect either way the grand-kids will love it to pieces! Very cool. :) |

Autumn.4, thank you! shades_of_idaho, I took some pictures while I was setting up for dinner yesterday. Of course, when it was time to lay out the food, I completely forgot about the camera, even though I'd left it out on the counter to remind myself to get pics during dinner. Three 6' tables, set up in the playroom (GS mugging for the camera, before chairs were set up.): Coffee station in the playroom: Kitchen buffet; plates, platters, and serving pieces, ready for food: We had extra seating in the DR--when we have smaller groups, this is our dessert table. We planned for 26 people yesterday, but shortly after I took these pictures, my brother called to ask if he could bring 5 (FIVE!) extra guests--his GF's daughter and family were there, and they wanted to come to dinner. Well, OK, we scrambled around setting up a small drop-leaf table that had been stored upstairs. It was set up in the LR (forgot to take pic--lucky to remember my name at this point), giving us seating for 30. I laid out a couple of extra settings and placed extra chairs, in case anyone else dropped in. As it happened, four family members didn't show up, two of them were iffy anyway, so we had plenty of seating available. Table in the DR; dessert buffet (for cake, pies, fruit bowl) on the counter in background: And this morning, everything is back to normal. The painted floor is fine--a few black marks from shoes cleaned up with a damp cloth: I saw on the news today that January 21 is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year. I love the painted floor. I have leftover pie. I'm doin' OK. :) |

Update! If you scroll up a bit, you'll see a short wall beside where the chalkboard is mounted. That bump-out was the block chimney on an exterior wall, before we added on. Since there wasn't much room for a piece of furniture on that short side, I decided to make a climbing wall for the GS. I used scrap pieces of 2x3 lumber, routed to smooth the edges, and made grooves for finger and toe holds. When he outgrows the wall, I'll remove the scraps, fill and sand the holes, and repaint that section. There was no cost for this project, and it utilizes a space that's only 23" wide. It's not pretty, but I hope it will be fun on a rainy day. |

Thank you both! My late husband was an adventurer--we took our children canoeing before they could walk. My son was chimneying in redrock when he was six, and rapelling at 12. When the girls were old enough, they went along--I've belayed them on climbing walls, and held my breath as they've landed a plane. I've never had an adventurous spirit--never wanted to jump out of a plane or over a cliff--but I want this little one to have the confidence to take on the world. :) |
This is a great thread Mama_Goose! Your house breaths of life and love! |
You have a Beautiful Home!!! |

Oh, that is great. My favorite season is spring, mud, cold, rain, and all! I see a blue jay flying around and I want to believe it is "Jimmy Jay". A blue jay that my 21 year old son nursed along through his fledgling period last summer. We have a brooder house and used that for a small aviary when he got too big for the hamster cage. He would sit on our hands as we fed him pureed dried cat food through a syringe. I believe it is against the law to care for Jays, but we just couldn't let the barn cats get him :). One day we left the door open and he flew out to the apple tree, then he went back inside. The next day we left the door open and never saw him again. I'd call for him, just for fun. Now when I see the bright blue jay I want to believe it is Jimmy Jay. |
- Posted by mama_goose (My Page) on Fri, Apr 12, 13 at 21:43
Enduring, what a nice story. I hope Jimmy Jay remembers your kindness. When my kids were smaller, we raised an orphaned mockingbird, feeding it the hard-boiled egg and crackers mixture that my grandmother used for her canaries. Lol, we used the narrow end of my children's silver baby spoon, to push the food in far enough. As it was meant to be, eventually he stopped coming back to be fed, too. |
Hi again, the feeding of JJ, was very gratifing when I could get a good bolus of food inserted deep into his gullet. He just looked so content. I am linking my bathroom reveal in case you're into soapstone :) I know you've posted on other post I've made regarding the ss sink. The bathroom is now done. Also, down 3/4 of the way, is a picture of The Grainery, an old grainery that I have wanted to remodel for several years now. |

K-9 Corps
"Before eating, we recite the law," rumbled Beowulf, the leader, as the other eight formed a rough circle around him.
"What is the Law?" intoned Beowulf.
"To place duty above self, honor above life."
"What is the Law?"
"To allow harm to come to no Man, to protect Man and his possessions."
"What is the Law?"
"To stand by Man's side--as dogs will always stand. Together, Man and dog."
K-9 Corps
is the first novel in the K-9 series of books. It introduces Ray Larkin and his team of genetically-altered scout dogs: Beowulf, Grendel, Mama-san, Anson, Ozma, Littlejohn, Frodo, Sinbad, and Pandora.

Legio VIIII Hispana |
(Musei Vaticani, Rome) |
Legio VIIII
Hispana: one of the Roman legions. Its name means 'the Spanish
With the seventh, eighth and tenth legions, the Ninth was among the oldest units in the imperial Roman army. They were with Julius Caesar when he invaded Gaul in 58 BCE. The Roman commander mentions the ninth legion in his accounts of the battle against the Nervians. During the civil war against Caesar's fellow-triumvir and rival Pompey, it fought in Hispania in the battle of Ilerda (Summer 49); later, the soldiers were transferred to Placentia, where they briefly revolted. In the spring of 48, it served at Dyrrhachium, and suffered heavily. In the battle of Pharsalus (9 August 48), it fought as one unit with the Eighth. After this battle, the soldiers were sent back to Italy to be pensioned off, but in 46, they participated in Caesar's African campaign. Some veterans were settled in Picenum, others at Histria. However, they were reenlisted in 41 by Caesar's heir Octavian, who needed it to put an end to Sextus Pompeius' occupation of Sicily, which put the grain supply of Rome into peril. When this was achieved, the Ninth was sent to the Balkans, where it received the surname Macedonica. (An inscription referring to a ninth legion surnamed Triumphalis may prove that the legion was refounded earlier and fought in the battle of Philippi in 42.) In 31, war broke out between Octavian and Mark Antony, culminating in the battle of Actium, where Octavian became sole ruler of the Mediterranean empire. He was called Augustus and was Rome's first emperor. The ninth legion, which had been present at Actium, was sent to Hispania Tarraconensis, where it took part in Augustus' campaigns against the Cantabrians, which lasted from 25-13 BCE. This was a very large war: among the other troops involved were I Germanica, II Augusta, IIII Macedonica, V Alaudae, VI Victrix, X Gemina, XX Valeria Victrix, and another legion, perhaps VIII Augusta. The Ninth seems to have distinguished itself especially during the campaign of 24, and may well have received its honorific title Hispana or Hispaniensis in that year. It is possible that subunits were transferred to the Rhine in 20 BCE and were active during Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa's invasion of Germania in the following year, but this is not proven and there are many uncertainties. If the Ninth was transferred to the Rhine, it may also have played a role during Drusus' campaigns on the east bank of the Rhine. However, an inscription (CIL 5.911) mentions a soldier of VIII Hispana in Pannonia during the reign of Augustus, and it is possible that the legion was in fact not stationed on the Rhine, but on the Danube; Sirmium is a possibility. What is certain, however, is that in the confused months after the Roman defeat in the Teutoburg Forest (September 9 CE), the legion was at Pannonia, where it is firmly attested in 14, the year of the death of Augustus. Here, in the city of Siscia (modern Sisak) on the confluence of the rivers Colapis (Kupa) and Savus (Sava), it permanently stayed until 43. The only known exception is that (subunits of) VIIII Hispana were sent to Africa and Mauretania to support III Augusta in its struggle against the tribal warriors of Tacfarinas (21-24). The legion was commanded by one Publius Cornelius Scipio, who received a monument along the Cardo of Lepcis Magna. |
In 43, the emperor Claudius invaded Britain with II Augusta, VIIII Hispana, XIV Gemina and XX Valeria Victrix. The Ninth, commanded by Aulus Plautius, was first stationed in two camps at Longthorpe and Newton-on-Trent. It may have shared a base with XIV Gemina in Leicester too, but this is not certain. Anyhow, it was in Lincoln after 55. According to our sources, it suffered very heavy losses (about a third of its strength) during the revolt of queen Boudicca (60). However, its commander, Quintus Petillius Cerialis, could continue his career, which suggests that he and his men had behaved honorably. Reinforcements were shipped in from the German provinces. After 71, we are not sure about its whereabouts, but in 77, it was transferred to York, where it had to guard the northern frontier of Roman Britain and replaced II Adiutrix. Cerialis, who had returned to Britain after an important campaign in the Rhineland in 70 (against the rebellious Batavians), took personal command of VIIII Hispana, and in 78 directed it against the warriors of the leader of the Brigantes in northern England, Venutius. At the same time, Gnaeus Julius Agricola led XX Valeria Victrix to the north. Together, they crushed Venutius near Stanwick. |

In 83, a subunit of VIIII Hispana fought against the Chatti, a Germanic tribe near Mainz in Germania Superior. Perhaps as many as 1,000 men were away from Britain, which seems to have caused some difficulties during Agricola's war. It is possible, perhaps likely, that a subunit took part in Trajan's invasion of Dacia, but this is not proven. The last recorded, datable activity of this legion in Britain was in 108/109, when it built a stone fortress at York. What happened next, is unclear. Several scholars have argued that it was defeated and annihilated by the Picts, maybe in 117/118, and that this caused the emperor Hadrian to build the famous wall in northern England. (This is the assumption of the famous novel by Rosemary Sutcliff, The Eagle of the Ninth, 1954.) |

However, more recent research has shown that (a subunit of) the ninth legion was for a brief period after 121 at Nijmegen in Germania Inferior. (At the same time, VI Victrix moved from Germania Inferior to Britain. Did they trade places?) The fact that we know the names of several high officers of the Ninth who can not have served earlier than 122 (e.g., Lucius Aemilius Karus, governor of Arabia in 142/143), is another indication that the legion was not destroyed but transferred. This proves that it was still in existence during the reign of Hadrian. After this, the legion disappears from our sources. It may have been destroyed during the Jewish revolt of Simon ben Kosiba (132-136), in Cappadocia in 161, or during a revolt on the Danube in 162. There is an inscription from the reign of Marcus Aurelius (161-180) that sums up all legions (CIL 06.3492), and VIIII Hispana is missing; this means that it was destroyed before or during his reign. |

The emblem of the first legion is not known, but since it was a Caesarian
unit, the badge may have been a bull.

I'd like to light up a small toilet room (4' x 6', with 8' ceiling) with the smallest possible recessed lighting fixture. I can find 3" cans that use a 50W MR16 bulb, but do you think this would be enough light? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by salmon_slayer (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 13 at 9:57
That's not very bright. Look into the LEDs |
No, not enough light, it would look like a weak spotlight. How about one or two sconces with LED bulbs in them? |
50 watt halogen MR16s (which run on 12v low voltage) are quite bright - nearly what a 90w incandescent floodlight would be. Look for a wide beam spread; you can also get high-efficiency 35w halogen MR16s that are as bright (but not as hot) as regular 50 watt bulbs. Though slightly larger, the ECO4-575L 4" LED modules sold at Home Depot are also good - very bright and use only 9.5 watts each, and are dimmable. |
Thanks for the suggestions. I've been trying different bulbs in another recessed light, and I've found that the halogen bulbs show a lot more shadows than the more diffuse CFL bulbs. The trouble with the CFL's is that by the time they get up to full brightness, you've left the bathroom. |
That's why I like the LED modules - they are diffuse, and turn on immediately at full brightness. Are the bulbs you're using in your recessed light reflector-shape floodlamp bulbs, or standard-shaped light bulbs? If the latter, use halogen bulbs that are white frosted, not clear. Or good LED retrofits, like the Ikea 502.225.55 40w equivalent and their dimmable 502.225.55 60w equivalent, both of which give of excellent incandescent-quality light, are silent, and turn on at full brightness immediately. Both aim most of their light out the outer half of the bulb, partcularly the 40w replacement, but that's a plus when installing in a recessed can. |
lee676 - Could you please double check the numbers for the Ikea LEDs? I can't locate that number on their website. |
oops, didn't quite get that right - here are the correct numbers: 402.224.76 - 8.5w (40w equivalent) 502.225.55 - 10w (60w equivalent), dimmable The dimmable 60w replacement bulb ($14.99) isn't on their website as of now, but it (sometimes) has been in their stores around here for the last few weeks - I bought several. I've also used their candelabra bulb and the clear version of the 40w replacement (which glares a bit too much compared to clear incandescent bulbs for my taste, but may work well for certain indoor or outdoor applications like lanterns that look good with clear bulbs). |
Here is a link that might be useful: IKEA LED light bulbs

The goal of the Junior Ranger program at North Cascades National Park was to create a fun, educational activity that encourages children and their families to get outside and explore the park.
With the help of a 2008 Washington's National Park Fund grant, park staff produced four age-appropriate booklets to introduce the unique natural and cultural history of the North Cascades to visitors. Each booklet has a "totem animal" that helps guide kids and families through the activities and offers instruction, hints and ways to explore.
Download the activity booklets for the Pacific Treefrog (ages 3-5), Black Bear (5-8), Raven (8-11), and the Mountain Goat (12+).
"The support of Washington's National Park Fund allowed us to create a whole new Junior Ranger program to give people an incentive to visit the park and connect to their surroundings," said Chip Jenkins, Superintendent of North Cascades National Park.
The park printed and distributed 2,500 copies of each booklet during the 2009 season, and quickly went into a second printing.
Visit the North Cascades National Park's Junior Ranger Program website.
All six visitor information centers in North Cascades National Park Complex providing booklets and information on the Junior Ranger Program.

What is MyAutismTeam and How Do I Use It?
MyAutismTeam gives you the easiest way to find the best providers who can help your child thrive. Share with other parents like you, and learn from their experience. We're still in the early stages of MyAutismTeam, and have already pre-populated our searchable database with over 30,000 providers from our growing list of partners like Autism Speaks, Easter Seals and Parents Helping Parents.
In addition to the searchable local business database, we've built a social network to make it easier for parents to connect with each other and exchange insights about providers. More often than not, parents feel alone and excluded from information that can help them help their child. Our philosophy is to make it easy for all parents to easily get to answers they need. The more parents know and share with each other, the easier it is to see if you're missing a specialist that could help your child and see if the providers you have are among the best. Below are key areas of the site:
- Find Providers best suited to meet you child's needs based on keyword and zip code/city and state. This is a great place to start building your own team.
- Find Parents most like you based on location, your child's diagnosis and age. You can browse everyone's story and team, which helps provides insight as you share and build your own team.
- Q & A section enables you to search previously asked questions and answers, and gives you the ability to ask your own question that will be answered by other parents on MyAutismTeam.
- Activity page is where parents' daily updates happen. It's where daily triumphs and trials are shared and supported.
Parents use MyAutismTeam to find and share the best autism providers and businesses (from dentists and therapists, to autism-friendly businesses like barbers, babysitters, etc.) that especially cater to autism needs (marked by "Autism-yes")' on a hyper-local level.
What exactly is a 'team'? A team on MyAutismTeam is everyone you recommend. Sometimes it can take years of trial and error to build the right team to meet your child's needs. Everyone from that special speech therapist to the friendly barber who 'gets it.' It's the team of people you've brought together to make life on the spectrum better for your child. MyAutismTeam makes it easy to find those best suited to meet your child's needs while providing you a social network of support from other parents like you.
Our goal is to have hundreds of thousands of teams over the next two years. We know we can't do it alone. With the help of parents who use autism specialists or autism-friendly businesses, we can quickly identify and grow the searchable MyAutismTeam database to help many parents new to the autism community sooner rather than later. You're not alone and you shouldn't have to reinvent the wheel.
Why MyAutismTeam?
The core team who launched Insider Pages' Doctor Finder in May 2010 created MyAutismTeam. When we identified that insurance company websites were not linking actual patient reviews of their doctors, we created the platform to do just that. The response was profound and overwhelming -- people were thrilled to finally be able to find doctors by insurance, but they told us they wanted even more. We realized that there was an underserved community of people who needed an easier way –a more transparent way– to find providers who could help them and their loved ones get the specialty care and support they needed.
We began our research. We discovered that the autism community was the most under-served with regard to the quantity and quality of information about local autism specialists and businesses. So began six months of interviews in 2010 of parents from San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Washington DC, and even parents in the military who move every two years. What we heard were heart-wrenching stories of parents who felt alone in their quest to get help for their children – starting with diagnosis.
Some of the things we heard from parents about their early experiences: "You feel like you're all alone," "Even my parents didn't get it, they thought he'd grow out of it," "I had to wait months for a diagnosis," "It feels like you're NEVER doing enough, fast enough," and "It felt like I was re-inventing the wheel."
Parents shouldn't feel isolated from the answers and providers they seek to help their child. We know it sometimes feels like a fight for resources, for the right answers, for the top providers, for the best coverage. This is why our mission is to make it easy for parents to find the most highly recommended autism providers and autism friendly businesses near them. Our belief is that the best source of such information comes from the experience of other parents who have walked in your shoes.

Based in San Francisco, MyAutismTeam is one of the many social networks by MyHealthteams for those living with, or caring for, those living with chronic conditions or disorders.

Hey, all...I wrote below about my established garden and clay soil. One thing that occurred to me is to grow a green manure in the beds this autumn amongst the plants, and then, in the late autumn/early winter, cover the whole thing up with a layer of compost and mulch (my plan regardless).
Note the part about it dying...any "annual" non-hardy (in Toronto) green manures someone can recommend? I don't want to turn it into the soil if I don't have to (believe me, this is not laziness, really (not that there is anything wrong with laziness) just that I do not want to going churning about until I get to know where everything is). I am thinking this would be a nice "add" to my reconsitution of the soil, and if it is dead and gone come spring, I would happily do it every fall. Thoughts or suggestions? |

- Posted by the_virginian Zone 7 NoVA (My Page) on Thu, May 21, 09 at 14:29
Try a less hardy type of clover. |
Buckwheat is a fast growing cover/green manure that will winterkill, and is cheap. Peas are another option, albeit an expensive one, and they leave the soil in a beautiful state. Stay away from any grass like rye, and although some vetches are not hardy in our zone 5, I wouldn't chance it. My vote would be for buckwheat. |
Annual Ryegrass should never be used for a green manure or cover crop, although some people seem to think it is the same thing as Wnter, Field, or Cereal Rye. Vetch, if allowed to set seed can be a bit invasive and is hardy, Buckwheat is easily killed by frost and could be a good addition although as proposed it would be a cover crop not a green manure since you would not till it in green. The Field, Winter, or Cereal Rye, a grain crop not a grass, could be seeded in and then covered when about 6 inches high with compost and mulch and that should effectively kill those plants. |
Annual ryegrass is an excellent cover crop. I've used it, let it winter kill and plant right into the dead sod in spring. It produces lots of subsurface organic matter and does a good job of choking of weeds. |

My reply disappeared. Plant a fall pea crop. Eat. Cut stems and leave roots. Dan |
It's tough trying to get any decent growth in Ontario's autumn from a heat lover like buckwheat. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tammy!
Facts about Tammy
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Tammy's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with cats.
Tammy is a pretty little girl, who came to AZ Furry Friends as a stray. She can be unsure of strangers, but warms up quickly once she gets to know you. She loves belly rubs, and catnip mice. Tammy absolutely adores other cats, but is scared of small children, so she would prefer a quiet home. Tammy is a great cat, and she will be a great companion for any family or person.
Other Pets at AZ Furry Friends Rescue Foundation
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tammy, a Phoenix Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'm a recent transplant from the South Bay where we played at Game Kastle in Santa Clara. I just moved up to San Rafael, where they have Gamescape North. I'm pretty sure that I can get an AGoT day or night going there if we can find enough local players. I'd love to drive to Concord, but Thursday nights is really not the best time for me to go out and AGoT. If you live in the north bay area, I'd even be willing to host a game night at my apartment. Let me know, I need to get my AGoT on!

I know there is an east bay group that plays at Black Diamond Games in Concord on Thursday's. I'm trying to get a North Bay group together on saturday or sunday. I'm wondering if any of the East Bay folks would come over the Richmond/San Rafael bridge for Saturday Thrones?
Posted 26 September 2011 - 12:24 PM
I am out of town on the weekends. I would be willing to commute a little bit on Tuesdays maybe if there was enough interest.
I play in chico on the weekends (usually), sac on weds, and concord on thurs. Never can have enough thrones. I know TheJibboo is in Oakland as well and might be looking for some more Bay-centric play.

Fieras said:
What game store does TheJibboo go to? We would call Endgame our home store.
My group is centered in Alameda and Oakland. We started as a Call of Cthulhu LCG group, evolved into also playing board games and just recently started building AGoT decks. In fact, I found a copy of Lord of Winter stuffed away at Games of Berkeley last week so we should have at least one serviceable deck for each house by next week.
Posted 27 September 2011 - 06:08 AM
I don't think he has a meta yet. He came to Sac once and was planning on coming to concord later this year. You will have to ask him.
Posted 27 September 2011 - 06:10 AM
Tuesday isn't a bad day for me. I do know that the local game store closes early (7pm). On that note, my apartment is large enough to host several people and I have two tables for gaming if needed. It's been over two weeks since I have played any Thrones and I need my fix!

My earliest memory is of wee me, about 6 months old, tumbling over the collapsible rail of my crib and landing on my head. This would happen again many times, enough to warrant a pile of stuffed animals being strategically placed at my bedside to cushion my fall. I learned that if I held onto the railing and swayed (I'm sure I was mimicking the animated monkeys I had seen swinging from branch to branch on early morning cartoons), the side would drop and out I'd spill. But the first time I wasn't prepared, so I knocked myself silly and shrieked as if I'd fallen onto a bed of nails rather than the floor. My mom rushed in wearing the satin blue nightgown she always wore in those days, scooped me up and carried me into the living room, still a blubbering mess. What followed is most likely a series of events that over time my mind has molded into one, but for the sake of a good story we'll say this is how it happened.
The TV was on. I want to say we were watching a Saturday Night Live skit but for the life of me I haven't been able to find a clip online. A young couple, the jock boyfriend and the pretty blonde with her hair pulled into a ponytail, stood looking up at the Lincoln Memorial. They turned to leave when the statue lifted one hand then the other before rising from his seat, glowering down at them like an angry god. Naturally, they screamed and ran away. But they weren't quite fast enough. I don't remember what happened to the guy, only that he died first. The girl must not have been very bright because she just stood there aghast. Abe reached down and made a fist and then he was holding her up to his face. She screamed one last time before her head disappeared in his enormous maw. He spit it out – close-up shot of her head rolling across the ground – and the audience went wild with laughter as he shuffled away to wreak havoc on the Washington Monument.
Now, this did nothing to soothe my cries. I'm fairly certain I puked.
Sometime before dawn, I heard a woman's scream followed by a crash. I opened my eyes and stared at the window on the other side of the room. I didn't move. If I had been capable, I would've pulled the blanket over my head and cried myself back to sleep. Instead I was forced to watch through the dingy glass as a pair of legs, stone white and as big around as tree trunks, strode past and out of sight. Something downstairs shattered. A chair or other wooden object was dragged or pushed across the floor, punctuated by audible wibbling. I knew then Lincoln had forced his way into the building.
Let's be real, you'd have shit your pants.
It turns out that a drunk had broken into the apartment below us. Besides smashing a window and frightening the female half of the couple who lived there by exposing himself (it's my understanding that this was the same drunk who spent nights singing in the street, sometimes clothed but most often not, sometimes with a guitar and other times with a harmonica), no real harm was done. So what the hell had I seen moving past my window at the height of the ruckus?
Maybe my mom had spiked my formula to lull me to sleep. Maybe it was the first of many hypnagogic hallucinations to come. But I saw something, something that looked an awful lot like a large marble statue's large, stiff marble legs.
You tell me.
