Ugh, I've always despised the self righteousness of this notion that god has supplied you with talent, and if you aren't a good christian and glorify god with your talent you've wasted your life and your talent.
God can sit on it and spin.
Total BS.

I've busted my ass to get to where I am, I'm not gifted with anything, and to say that implies that my hard work means nothing.
I've got a long ways to go yet and I won't get there by resting on the idea that I am unique in one way or another, or that god "chose" me to become an artist.
I'll do it by bustin my ass even more than what it took for me to get to where I am today.
Just my 2cents.

I was thinking the same. I don't feel I've been "given" anything... I've worked very hard to learn what I know now about art. And I don't even know all that much.
I also very much dislike when someone deigns to tell me that anything I'm doing is a misuse or waste of my effort. It's not your place to tell me if what I'm doing is a waste or misuse. That's up to me, my mentors and whatever company I'm working for.
Either that, or your god considers that I'm making appropriate use of the "talents" it "bestowed" on me by creating graphics for violent computer games. Heh.

Tsnipes: Your intentions are good(in your own way), but please, spare us the religious propaganda and you won´t have to be dissapointed of our reaction.
June 7th, 2006 #6
If you had posted something extra with the PDf, such as "If you're a christian, here's something to read over...." or "My personal beliefs on art IE we should use it to help/inspire others, as the bible said..." than MAYBE you would have recieved a better response.
But you didn't. So you probably won't.

Wow, Tyranx, Chingwa, and MoP!
Ya know, there was nothing derogatory in this pdf file, yet you 3 felt it to be adult and appropriate to say mean things to tsnipes.
You could have come in to this thread, say, "this stuff doesn't apply to my beliefs," and left. But instead, you came into the thread, took everything personal, and shat all over tsnipes' beliefs for no good reason whatsoever.
This pdf looks like it's meant to be uplifting to those who believe in God. It takes art and relates it to passages in the bible. tsnipes thought he would be nice and share it, but he gets called self righteous and his god is told to "sit on it and spin?" Really mature.
If these were Bhuddist beliefs about art with Bhuddist passages relating to art, no one would get all huffy and offended.
Why don't you guys realize that some might take comfort in the idea that their talents are a gift from something/someone? There's no reason to get angry about that.
If you don't believe it, fine. Don't tell others' gods to fuck off. That is so incogitant, immature, and entirely INTOLERANT to beliefs different than yours. GROW UP.

I'm with magicgoo here. Tsipes and I couldn't be further apart philosophically/theologically in general, and on this particular issue in particular. But he has always been straightforward about his beliefs and intentions, and has never been combative or antagonistic in his posts. I think when you title something "God's Principles of Artistic Purpose" your viewpoint is pretty clear. Those who are interested or intrigued can read the post, download the pdf, etc. Those who aren't don't have to.

It's always fascinating when beliefs are projected here (or in most places on the internet, I suspect). There will generally be folks whose beliefs are strong enough and counter to such a degree that they will feel compelled to respond with their own beliefs. Sometimes with anger.
It's almost like watching people's reactions when a bee buzzes around them. Some will remain still and watch, while others will try out for the Funky Chicken Olympics and sprout several more limbs to flail about and give that sound you get from a '72 Matador when its alternator belt freezes up.
It makes me wonder what would happen were we all sitting in the same room, with just a couple pieces of pizza left and the credits rolling on that Magnum PI when Rick and TC dress up like girls.
Makes me wonder...

That´s prone to happen, and actually is more often than you think, only with religion and politics people start to take it in a higher degree.
All though I see magicgoo´s point, is sort of hard to ask people to act mature, specially when cronologicaly they are not suppose to be. People will come faster and stronger when they see a topic or post they completely disagree on. For example, magicgoo just did something similar in a lesser and more justifyed degree. (but just by a tiny bit from what Tyranx and MoP wrote)
But still, all is bitter in religion and politics...My personal opinion is that tsnipes sig is just enought for the ones who are interested.
Edit: forgot to add=
-I want you to apply the "if you don´t agree, dont post anything" logic in another context.
-I want you to imagine what would happen if this was a post about the Coran.
-A friendly reminder, peoples different opinions about religion will be most of the time offensive to one another, because thats how religion works, don´t be surprized.

hmmm i actually have NO idea what your point was Dog FOod but incredibly funny as always.
i think you have grouped tyranx and Mop's post in a little unfairly with chingwa's post magicgoo...(now theres a senstence i never thought i'd say)...chingwa took it to the next level by insulting and disrespecting a relgion where it was un-called for, tyranx and Mop in my opinion were only defending where they believe they had been personally attacked. I come out with the same response if my friend tells me im a 'natural artist' theres nothing at all natural about my abilitie, it came about by hours of drawing and as tyranx says will only improve with hours more, I personally have often been told what Tsnipes have posted, i come from a family with parents who are minsiters a sister in a youth chorus and a brother in training to be a minister,over the years i have learnt to keep my head down bite my tongue and recognise that these words are not ment as an attack but simply my familys way of, as best they know, trying to help me but i can understand how tyranx and Mop feel this is simply a personal attack, it all comes down to personal experience with this sort of theory.
ah golly will you just look at all those spelling mistakes?

This comes up everytime someone posts something religious.
If you can come into topics that are about evolution or any other scientifically charged topic that religion chooses to disagree with and try to argue with it, we can do the same in religious topics.
June 8th, 2006 #15
If a topic is posted for debate or discussion thats one thing. But this guy posts a thread to be inspirational or certianly harmless in nature, and people come in and rip him a new asshole... If you don't agree with someone, you don't need to walk all over their beliefs or a simple I don't agree with you and heres why would suffice.
June 8th, 2006 #16
Magicgoo - I wasn't attacking Tsnipes, I was merely stating my own opinion, I think Chingwa's last comments; "God can sit on it and spin. Total BS." may have been uncalled for, yes.
But I don't see how you took offense to my post, Can't I express myself too? and besides, my post doesn't say anything about telling his god to fuck off.

I don't think I'm out of line any more than anyone else posting in this forum. Tsnipes, while I give him kudos for putting his own beliefs out there, asked for feedback and I gave mine. Was I a bit harsh? That's up for debate, but I've seen plenty of harsh things pandered back and forth on this forum and frankly If I posted something about how art, something everyone here pours there mind body and soul into, basically means nothing unless you are connected to my own idea of divine salvation... well... I would expect a bit of a hostile response.
To say my "talent is wasted" because I'm not connected to this god is just as "incogitant, immature, and entirely INTOLERANT" as me telling this god to spin on it.
June 8th, 2006 #18
Chingwa man, so angry ;P, I see you are feed up with society and all the problems we are having with it nowadays.
Man relaaaaax or release some anger in a canvas, I made some twisted monsters the other weekend, around 10, works like a charm and keeps you sane for the rest of the week, hopefully without making any enemies or viewing things in a much slower and calm way .
I kindly ask anyone else to pass the opportunity to start a completely unnnesesary holy war....This things are more likelly to happen this way in the same rythm, choose not to dance and you will be ok. .

There is no real problem with exchanging views thru dialog with regards to personal beliefs. The only real problem starts when someone tries to shove his/her belief down into another person's throat. So I agree with Sham - let's keep it civil - whether or not we like each other's beliefs, we can at least find common ground in mutual respect.
On Topic: Whether or not God gave us our talent, I don't know. But I do know that without some hard work it doesn't really matter because nothing will get done. Some may find inspiration to work hard because of their belief, others may find inspiration from other things. Of course there's always the argument that "God creates all" so if you find inspiration in anything and everything then you're "connected" to God in the end - if so then there's not a lot of room for discussion.
Personally I'm not religious. My motivation has largely been restricted to "fun" and "survival". I like what I do because its fun and keeps me sane. I do what I like to feed myself and if I don't finish my assignments, I don't get to eat. Not very sexy, but hey its a good life so far. I don't need much more motivation than the growl of my hungry stomach.
Anyhow, I tend to knock on religion a little and have been resistant to organised religion since I was 14. But I cannot deny that it is an important part of the fabric of life. I think Tsnipes here is doing an important job because some of the kids out there really have nothing much to hold on to. If via religion they can be inspired to be productive/creative individuals, then it is a good thing for everyone. Of course there is the other side of the blade on the double edged sword -the one we see in the news daily about religious fanaticism and extremist/terrorist activities. But if put across positively, it is good. And I think it is put across positively here.
Anyhoo, that's my personal sermon. AND its 1am and I should really go complete those ink drawings that are due in the morning LOL.
There are 3 sides to every story. Yours, mine and THE TRUTH.
June 9th, 2006 #20
One small point is that I don't think saying your talent is a gift from God discredits the work that you've put into it. Christians believe life is a gift from God so all things fall into that category to us. I know I didn't wake up one morning and could draw "Thank you Jesus!" and I don't think that the post was saying that. I think God that I got more enjoyment out of drawing then going out and playing football when I was a kid. The chances of me becoming a pro-ball player are allot slimmer then becoming an artist, so I had a drive and desire that pushed me in a more realistic direction then alot of my peers, so I am able to work in a field that I love. I thank God for that. As far as using your talents for God, I don't take this as being in the ministry neccesarily, but just being good at what you do. Thats a testimony too. Anyway, thats how I look at it.
June 9th, 2006 #21
i'm with magicgoo here.
if this was a post that promoted any religion but Christianity, it would most likely have been tolerated much more graciously.
just cause it's "Christian" doesn't mean it's ok to trash it.
tolerance isn't just for a select few.
that would be called discrimination.
thanks for the post tsnipes and to your credit, it takes alot of courage to post something like that where you can get blasted just for trying to speak your mind.
i for one appreciated it.

all i'm saying is that if this post were started about some other religion or worldview giving meaning to art, it'd be handled alot less vehemently.
as far as wasting talent, i think it's fairly universal to think that if someone has a natural tendency to excel in something, it's a waste not to use or cultivate that ability.

See what I mean about intolerance toward religious beliefs?
Davi, that was totally just rude. You're saying you blew someone's god and got VD? WTF? Incredibly rude. I don't care if you're the top admin here or if I get banned for calling you rude, but I'm not gonna kiss the ass of someone I've never met just so I can be a part of a forum. And, I'm certainly not gonna stand by while other's beliefs are trashed. There was no reason for that. What did tsnipes ever do to you?
I think you owe people an apology for that. Honestly. This could have been a friendly thread, but as soon as people mention something that was a positive and harmless uplifting message, everyone else just pisses all over it.
Fucking rude and childish.

For me his post looked more like some random (semi-related) comment in a thread that has already been derailed with its the first reply.
I don't want to attack you but this bitching about bitching and now my bitching about bitching about bitching seems to have become the main point if this thread. I think Prom has a nice picture for these types of topics.

Mario, thank you for pointing up that paradox.
You can ignore those posts and refrain yourself from posting against something you disagree.

Propaganda in propaganda, it shoudn´t be alowed becuase it has harmfull concecuences and makes people get into a terrible paradox about how they should or shoudn´t be entiteled to their opinions. It happens with any religious or political thread and it shoudn´t be a double standard for any special group, no matter how popular it might be.
In the end... nobody will know what they were talking about.

If a thread starts off with good happy intentions, and then the poster's god is told to sit on it and spin, or is said to have herpes, that's just rude.
Look, my point is: If someone posts the 10 Inspirational Artistic Messages By Satan and Buddha, people shouldn't run into the thread and whine that it's offensive and tell all the Satanists and Buddhists that their god's gave them herpes. That's just rude.
No matter what religion, no matter what god: This thread was meant to be innocent, uplifting, and motivational. Now, it's become offensive, derogotory, and hate-driven. Thank you once again, internet.

Is the original poster's intent to be a missionary ? Or is he just looking for a choir to preach to ?
There is some really uplifiting quotes in there but there is also the threat there is some kind of cosmic entity for which you MUST be grateful to or you will face serious consequences. Maybe its just my biases towards Judeo-Christian religion and I'm reading too into this.. But it just seems to me like its often that whenever somebody has a positive message like this, there is also an implication that if you don't live this particular way - than you're in the wrong and you'll be punished somehow. Sort of like a subtly insinuating insult -- its not said outright, but it sure seems like its there, and thats why people react the way that they do. Because they feel that you're saying if you don't believe this way than you're putting them down.. They're less human than you are because they dont realize their life is a gift of the divinity.. They're putting their life and talent to waste because they fail to see their talents are a gift of god. That may or may not be your intent but thats how it can (and seemingly does) come across.

Frankly, I'm sick and tired of all the preachy Buddist threads I'm seeing on this forum, not only that, they come knocking on my door shoving arbitrary nonsense in my face, they destroyed my forefather's culture with their crusades, and they meddle with politics. I'll tell you, right now my Buddhist tolerance threshold is pretty darn low, I might even retort with a joke, but Buddists always gets so upset, starting flamewars and all, so I'll just drop it (I don't want to end up like those poor Muslims and Christians who the Buddhist have bullied for so long).
And uh... I was thinking of starting a thread, but I guess I can pop it here... so, uhm, will someone perform Satanic rites for my Uncle? He's terribly sick. I'm thinking we could sacrifice some souls. What? Such a thread might be offensive to some? Gosh, then I guess I'll just fall over on my back sprawling and play the victim card.
Btw, I was glad to see how everyone stood up against the Scientology ridicule a while ago! Yes, they present arbitrary unprovable nonsense, but they have a right not to be questioned. It's just really bad tact to ask someone claiming to have an invisible dragon in their garage for proof, or god forbid, giggle at them.
A: Hay guys! I have an invisible dragon in my garage giving us tips on how to be an artist!
B: O'RLY? (without proof, I will question the authenticity of these 'dragon tips')
C: Your dragon has warts, LOL!
A: Help! I'm being opressed! Did you see them opressing me?
Is that enough fuel? Let's level up this bitch, it's just like Pokémon!

(KAWARTHA LAKES) Last week, Ward 9 Councillor Andy Luff said he hoped the April 12 council meeting would turn out to be his "finest hour."
And, it was, as City of Kawartha Lakes council approved the financing plan for the Northwest Trunk sanitary sewer, paving the way for Wal-Mart, Home Depot and thousands of new homes in Lindsay.
A longtime champion of the project, Coun. Luff has been working for years to make it a reality and put forward his motion to approve the financing at Tuesday's meeting.
During his two election campaigns, "When are we getting a Wal-Mart?" was the primary question his constituents asked. Coun. Luff said building the trunk means that more than a million square feet in commercial space and about 6,000 homes over the next 30 years. And, with the population forecast to increase by about 15,000 people, he told council, building the Trunk will result in jobs, both in retail and construction to help alleviate the city's unemployment, which sits at 15 per cent.
Coun. Luff said having retailers like Wal-Mart "will positively impact the entire city...we'll keep money in the retail sector here in our own municipality."
Going with the Municipal Act charges option (rather than development charges) means the five out of seven developers on board with the Trunk going ahead will pay about $7 million of the projected $11-million cost.
Coun. Luff's motion says the bylaw approving the financing will include a 20-year repayment term. The motion also recommends that council approve a representative of "the benefitting development community" to sit on a Northwest Trunk steering committee.
Council voted 15-1 in favour of the motion, with Ward 4 Coun. Glenn Campbell being the lone dissenting voice. (Ward 13 Coun. Pat Warren was absent from the meeting.)
Coun. Campbell made it clear that he is in favour of building the Trunk, "but, not like this."
He noted concerns that there is no design completed for the project and no final cost estimate.
"The developers are expected to pony up $7 million but they haven't even seen a design," he said. "We're spending other people's money and we don't care.
"We're all supposed to do the 'rah rah'...but, we still don't know how much this will cost," he said. "It's a far cry from endorsement to knowing what we're doing."
He pointed out the cost of the project has grown from $5 million to more than $10 million.
Coun. Campbell said the consultants' report council heard last month left him with more concerns. The consultants talked about the financing options council could choose and their potential impact on the city. Coun. Campbell said he was not comfortable that the consultant could not give an example of a municipality applying Municipal Act charges. He was also concerned about a developer being appointed to a steering committee, when the developers compete among themselves.
Many councillors said that after 22 years, it is time to move forward. Ward 6 Coun. Doug Elmslie and Ward 5 Coun. Steve Strangway agreed Coun. Campbell had raised valid concerns. Coun. Strangway asked Coun. Luff if he was "confident" with the plan being approved, to which Coun. Luff answered he was.
Coun. Luff said building the Trunk has never been held up by council; it has always been other challenges, even though they were legal, that resulted in OMB hearings, for example. Addressing Coun. Campbell's concerns, he said the environmental assessment and OMB hearings meant the initial project "meant we had to add on to the work and therefore the costs." He added developers have been given access to preliminary drawings of a design.
"This is a great step forward for the City of Kawartha Lakes," he said.
Finance director Rudy Huisman pointed out the motion was not a financial commitment at this point, simply creating the terms of the bylaw that will allow the Municipal Act charges to be applied.
Mayor Ric McGee said he was "very proud of our people" as he noted the hard work staff have put into the project over the years, noting the City is "on the right track" going ahead.

High school alumni unhappy with merger plan
A group of L.B. Landry High School alumni is taking the state to court over plans to merge the campus with another high school, O. Perry Walker.
The Times-Picayune reports the case could be the first test of a law that requires community input on any changes in the way state-controlled schools are governed.
A lawsuit filed this week in Civil District Court accuses officials with the state-run Recovery School District of unfairly tagging Landry as a "failing" school and ignoring a statute passed in 2011 that requires the district to come up with a community outreach plan before deciding on changes in school governance.

Calgary search engine optimization works on various tasks, it can be link removal, link building, reputation management, content marketing, etc. It's important to figure out what you want for your business in the next 1 or 2 years.

Family scenery
This traditional family scene was hanged in the room of our hotel in Douz. The husband is sitting in the upper right corner together with 4 wives. The older (the first wife) sits by the side of the husband. Two are in charge of very young children while one is preparing the "couscous" grains.
Among the 3 older girls, one is helping for the couscous. The second one helps her mother to take care of a baby. A third (or is it the last wife ?) in the center of the picture does not do anything.
Among the 4 younger children, twin brothers are looking at their older sister that help for the preparation of the couscous.

The old man
This is, undoubtely, my best shot in all of the Douz adventure. There was a gruop of locals standing or sitting nearby the camel's resting post and among them I saw this remarkable old man. I've shot this first picture without asking him for permition, actually he wasn't even awware that I took it. Then I displayed him the picture and he was very pleased, asking me to make another one.
International Sahara Festival of Douz
Douz is a carrefour for many Arabians who gather anually for the International Sahara Festival. Competitions such as camel rides and local dances are presented to a big
audience from all Arabian countries. Prominents come from Europe and Saudi Arabia

Sportsfanplayground.com to Carry Top Euro 2012 and NBA Playoff Gear
The Sports Fan Playground (sportsfanplayground.com) is now carrying the top jerseys from the Euro 2012 Soccer Tournament that is currently taking place in Poland. The Euro 2012 Tournament pits the top national teams in Europe against each other for bragging rights, as well as preparing for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Detroit, MI (PRWEB) June 09, 2012
The Sports Fan Playground will be carrying an extensive line of Euro 2012 soccer jerseys at the company website. The tournament, which began on Friday, will bring people and nations together in competition to see who's soccer (or football if in Europe) team is the strongest out of the European nations.
The store will be carrying top players jerseys from the traditional powerhouses, such as England, Germany, France, and Portugal. Players such as Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Ballack, David Villa, Fernando Torres and many more, will have their home and away jerseys available at sale price.
With so much of the world's attention focused on soccer right now, many people can easily forget that the NBA playoffs are still happening. With Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat, fans have been forced to split their attention between many of the top sports in the world. On Saturday, June 9 alone, the following events are taking place –
- Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals
- Game 7 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals
- Belmont Stakes
- Mets vs Yankees
- Pacquiao vs Bradley
To remember all of these events, Sportsfanplayground.com has apparel and accessories for all of the major moments that will take place.
Sportsfanplayground.com owner DaVaughn Lucas, expects that business will be booming on Saturday, more than on most days.
"There are certain days in the year where sports take center stage, and for it to be summertime and have enough events to keep the sports fan's glued to the television and internet, is a huge accomplishment in itself," says Lucas, an avid sports fan himself. "At the Playground, we want to make sure that people have all of the gear that people want in order to be able to properly cheer for their team in the best way possible."
The Playground will be carrying championship gear from the Stanley Cup Finals whether it is the LA Kings or the New Jersey Devils, which the Kings lead the series, 3 games to 1, and has an opportunity to clinch the series in game 5 tomorrow night at 8:00 ET on NBC.
The store also has jerseys and apparel from the NBA Western Conference Champion Oklahoma City Thunder and both the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics, the two teams who will play in game 7 tomorrow night in Miami to determine who will go on to play OKC in the NBA Finals (Saturday, 7:30, ESPN.)
In the boxing world, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao will take on undefeated TImothy Bradley in Las Vegas on HBO Pay-Per-View. The Playground will be carrying authentic Pacquiao autographed items including gloves, pictures, shorts, and other items signed by Pacquiao himself.

Higher rates or fewer tax breaks _ what's worse?
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said in a report last month that raising tax rates would dampen people's incentive to work and reduce the nation's labor supply. Raising the same amount of revenue by eliminating tax breaks would probably be less negative, but the impact would depend on which deductions were erased, the budget office said.
A separate study by the same agency and in the same month, however, suggested that the economic harm from letting tax rates rise for top earners would be relatively negligible.
That report estimated that extending the George W. Bush-era tax breaks for everyone would mean the economy would grow by 1.4 percent more than if all the tax cuts are allowed to expire. Extending the tax breaks for all but the top earners as Obama wants would produce economic growth of 1.3 percent, just 0.1 percent less. In a nearly $16 trillion economy, that one-tenth of 1 percent equals $16 billion.
While higher tax rates can discourage investment, "whether or not we actually see significant changes in behavior from small changes in tax rates is another story," said Joe Rosenberg, research associate at the bipartisan Tax Policy Center, which analyzes tax policy. "We do see some, but the magnitude is probably fairly small."
Part of the dispute is grounded in politics. Obama made raising rates on the wealthy a keystone of his re-election campaign. For two decades, Republicans have made opposition to higher tax rates their party's mantra. Neither side is eager to surrender.
The present faceoff is also a tactical duel ahead of an even larger war over revamping the entire tax code that could come next year. Both sides know that if tax rates on the wealthy rise now, it will be harder to push them back down later.
In addition, the battle underscores ideological differences in the two parties' constituencies.
Republicans say raising tax rates on high-income Americans discourages investments that would produce new jobs.
"Here's how Republicans think," said Kenneth Kies, a former top House GOP tax aide and now a tax lobbyist. "If I'm a risk-taker and I'm getting ready to invest $1, if I'm successful and the top rate is 35 percent, I get to keep 65 cents."
If the top tax rate is much higher, Kies said, he would get to keep less "and my incentive to invest is significantly reduced."
For Democrats, imposing higher tax rates on people making the most money is a fair way to make them contribute to deficit reduction. They say Obama would merely return rates to levels that existed under President Bill Clinton, and the economy prospered then.
Because various tax breaks have such powerful defenders - for example, charities, churches and colleges - it's politically difficult to limit them. The subsequent search for revenue could expose the middle class to higher taxes, Democrats say.
During the presidential campaign, Republican nominee Mitt Romney suggested limiting itemized deductions to a dollar cap, such as $25,000. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center estimates that capping deductions at $25,000 would raise $1.3 trillion. But 29 percent of it would come from those earning under $200,000, whose taxes both parties say they don't want to increase.

Santiago (26-02-2013)
You do say such nice things to Me.
I too like Your Avatar.....I note the clothes nicely folded in the Basket as well.!
Now..about this Brewery.......
Santiago (26-02-2013)
Your part of the Country in the News again.
Some Council numpty saying handicapped Kids should be put down, and 18 months to apologise..
There seems to be more than the odd one Wherever You go these Days..
Lovely Day here Today. We managed to clean the Car, inside ( O.H.) and Out.
Went to pick up the Grandkids from School and got back to find a large Bird had left some Deposits.
I need a Twelve Bore I think.......
I think the remnants of the Brewing make good Fertiliser..Bet You know that though....
The council numpty is an old friend who is the very last person you would think would say anything like that. The reason for the delay was because it took so long for the Cornwall Council Standards committee to decide what had happened and what he should do about it. He had already apologised several times and I can't understand why he said what he did. I know he had a stroke a few years ago and he hasn't been the same cheerful person since, so maybe that had something to do with it. Having been on the local parish council for several years, I know how frustrating it can be when people don't understand why you can't do all the things they would like you to do, especially with all the government restrictions. Sermon over!
Not a lovely day here, cold and raw although the temp wasn't that low. I did a quick swan around Tesco this morning and then spent the afternoon working at the jolly old computer. Now, shall read a few more posts and then go to bed!
warbey (21-03-2013)
I have done a bit too at a few Levels., and know a bit about "Nodding Donkeys".
My frustrations are in how LITTLE You can do.
Thats for another time.
We do Our shop at the Beginning of the Week. First Aldi then Tesco for what We can't get in Aldi.
As We are not too fond of the Local Asda, We rarely go in there, unless I need Alcohol occasionally.
A bit more Here then Telly with O.H. before Bed..
Mopped and vacuumed right through.
Couple of Cans of Miggy on the Top, with a Glass.
Inspect anytime You want now, Slodgie...
Hi warbs, if you are around. It is certainly nice and clean down here, not like the Vault which is very dusty and has an air of abandonment. Any sign of cainaries? Or is she still having connection problems?
still connections probs - she managed a little email to me
forgot about this place does look nice and clean down here

From the Publisher"This amazingly valuable book, which presents objective documentation rather than subjective interpretation, is essential for all history collections."
Library Journal
"Recommended for college and high-school libraries."
"This quite interesting book explores the events of World War II by using contemporary, primary sources from both the Axis and Allied sides. Newspaper headlines, government documents and military statements, and the testimonies of people involved in or swept up in the war lend immediacy to historic events, and make it clear that the Allied victory was anything but inevitable. An introductory chapter examines events leading up to Germany's invasion of Poland, and a concluding chapter looks at the controversies surrounding the Nuremberg war trials."

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way for same-sex marriage to begin in Idaho, lifting a temporary hold on a lower court opinion that declared the state's restrictions unconstitutional.
Earlier this week, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco struck down laws in Idaho and Nevada that barred same-sex marriage. Nevada declined to appeal, but Idaho asked Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who oversees the Ninth Circuit, to block the ruling while the state tried to get it overturned. Read More »

Annual Spring Bird Count is Coming!
Spring is finally here and migration has started so dust off your binoculars and get ready to check out those warblers, other migrants and returning residents. This is the best time of the year to see the largest variety of birds in our area. Trees are not yet in full bloom and mosquitoes are not much of an issue. Check out the latest Drummings and DBC website to find the great variety of field trips the club is offering for you to enjoy peak migration in many different habitats.
Also, the annual Spring Bird Count is on Saturday May 9, 2015. This is the day when 100 or more birders will fan out over DuPage County to identify all the bird species they can find. Last year the group found 181 species, just two short of the record. Let's try and beat that record this year. The more DBCers that participate, the more area can be covered in the county. You don't have to be an expert, all skill levels are welcome. Even if you can only bird part of the day, the teams can use you. The county is divided into 17 areas, so you may be able to bird close to home.
Bob Fisher is the DuPage County compiler, and if you counted in 2014 or 2013, he will automatically contact you. If you have never counted or it has been a number of years since you participated let Bob know. You can call him at 630-985-2956 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you've never done it before, it's an enjoyable, fun filled day. You'll be amazed at the variety of bird species you will see. Select here for your 2015 bird checklist.
The DuPage Birding Club is offering a special bird walk on Saturday, May 2, 2015, beginning at 7:30 a.m. in memory of founding member Muriel Smith. All are welcome to remember Muriel at one of her favorite birding locations, Elsen's Hill in West DuPage Woods. This location has the designation of "Important Bird Area" and is known for spring migrating birds. See the web site or Drummings for additional information. Though birding will continue, there will also be a celebration of Muriel's life – sharing memories and snacks - at the nearby Wyndemere auditorium in Wheaton at 10 a.m., for those interested.
Another special event to note is International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) on May 16. Be sure to stop over at the Willowbrook Nature Center between 8 a.m. and noon. Activities which include bird walks and bird bandings are free. For more information, contact Ron firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hennepin Area/Peacock Marsh Field Trip Report - October 16, 2014
I have attached some photos we took on our DBC Field Trip to the Hennepin Area (see ) last Saturday, Oct 26th. Some indicate the 1000's of birds, some pick up the variety (digi-scope), some show specific birds (e.g., snipe and eagle), and a few show birders.
We had a great experience with thousands of birds (see Bureau County checklist and Peacock Marsh checklist). All told we listed about 75 species.
Wild Things Conference
If you missed the sixth biennial Wild Thinks Conference in January, you missed an exceptional day of presentations by the grassroots conservation community of the Chicago Wilderness Region. A record 1,624 people registered for the event and there were 169 presenters. The DBC sponsored an exhibit at the conference. This is a picture of our Outreach Coordinator Nicole Goers and member Ron Skleney with the exhibit. The worst aspect about this conference is that it is only one day and you can't possibly see all the speakers you want but it is definitely worth attending and I encourage all to attend the next conference in two years.
Channahon - November 22, 2014
Our DuPage Birding Club field trip to the Channahon area was successful. We used the McDonalds/BP of I-55 on Hwy 6 as the rendezvous string point at 8:00am. We had six birders: Ted Wolff and guest Susan, Tom Lebryk, Jan Susner, plus Jean and myself. (We expected some others, we waited, but alas we needed to move on).
The cloudy and chilly morning turned out to be reasonable for birding. We visited four general locations: Des Plaines River views off Front Road east of Channahon, the boat launch further west on Front Road, The McKinley Woods [more].
Next Club Meeting
May 14, 2015 7:30 p.m
Topic: Springbrook Prairie: An Oasis for Grassland Birds in DuPage County
Joe Suchecki, Springbrook Prairie Volunteer Steward and Bird Monitor
Springbrook Prairie is a Forest Preserve District of DuPage County property in Naperville recently dedicated as an Illinois Nature Preserve. An 1800-acre site, it is one of the very few preserves in DuPage County that is predominantly open, grassland habitat. The natural habitats at Springbrook are being managed for grassland birds and native prairie restoration. Because of its large size and extensive grasslands, Springbrook attracts large populations of nesting grassland birds, such as Bobolinks, Meadowlarks, Savannah and Henslow's Sparrows, Sedge Wren, Dickcissel, and occasionally Northern Harrier and Short-eared Owl. The program will present information on the grassland birds of Springbrook, discuss the 20+ years of habitat management and of bird monitoring at the site, and summarize how the restoration activities have affected grassland bird populations.
Our speaker is long-time DBC member and former club President, Joe Suchecki of Naperville. Joe has been active at Springbrook for over 20 years as the the bird monitor and volunteer natural resources steward at the site, completing breeding-bird surveys, working to manage and restore habitats, and generally enjoying the unique grasslands and wetlands at the Preserve. Joe was instrumental in leading a citizen's group in the early 1990s to convince the Forest Preserve Commission to abandon the development of Springbrook as a large recreational lake and to refocus the master plan on prairie restoration and grassland-bird management.

Cantigny - April 11, 2015
Today's monthly bird walk at Cantigny Park, co-sponsored by the DuPage Birding Club, was attended by 45 birders. A total of 54 species were seen or heard, our highest-ever total for April (topping 50 species in 2013). Because of the 5K run/walk in the park, we spent most of our time on the Cantigny golf course. It was a very productive day with nice weather and many highlights!
Most notably, we recorded our 150th all-time species at Cantigny: American White Pelican. A squadron of approximately 80 birds was spotted high in the sky as we stood at the back of the driving range. The flock was far away but the ID was never in doubt due to the large size (9-foot wingspan) of these bright white birds with black wingtips. April is the best chance we ever have to see these special migrants and today we finally did!
A flyby Osprey was another nice surprise, one of the few times we've seen one during a walk. We also found "April specialties" such as Eastern Towhee, Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker, Hermit Thrush, Fox Sparrow, Brown Creeper, Yellow-Rumped Warbler and both kinglet species. A Winter Wren was heard but not seen.
Near the Golf Academy we observed an active Red-Tailed Hawk nest with a bird presumably sitting on eggs. This same nest was also active in 2014. We also located an apparent Cooper's Hawk nest in the park with male and female birds present. [More]

Counting Jean and me, we had 10 birders participating in today's cold, but sunny, Fox River Field Trip. Our Birders were Kim Burnham , Andrew & Rebecca Steinmann, Mark Bavetz & Pam Rawls, Steve Fluett, Bonnie Graham and Stephen Wild. They spotted and identified the birds. I have enclosed a group photo taken by Jean.
We followed the plan as advertised. A large portion of the Fox River was frozen over, but we did find some open water. We started at Red Oak Nature Center on Rte. 25. The Fox River was totally frozen over at this spot. After getting a dozen species in the woods, we drove north to Lippold Preserve. We walked through the snow to pick up some more species. Our third stop was Glenwood, where the River was flowing. We picked up some good species. We crossed the river on Wilson Street and visited Quarry Park. We got more birds. At that point we decided not to visit Les Arends Preserve, as it was back south where the River was iced over. So, it was off to Panera Bread for something to eat and some good conversation. We were all done at shortly after noon. See results.

Heron Rookery, Danada FP - April 1, 2015
We had a great morning for enjoying the birds on our DBC FT last Wednesday, April 1st. Counting ourselves, we had 13 birders participate in our Danada Heron Rookery field trip. Joan Campbell kept the log and filed our eBird report. We logged 22 bird species. But most of all, we enjoyed the large Heron Rookery in a bog in the Danada Forest Preserve. The count was 80 Great Blue Herons who were working on their nests. I Have attached a PDF copy of our eBird report.
Watching the Herons coming and going was such a special privilege. I took some photos using both my Lumix pocket camera and my Samsung cell phone. Some of these photos were taken through our 20x-60x spotting scope (digi-scoping). I have attached some selected shots just for fun.
Jean and I believe that everyone who participated truly enjoyed the experience.

Video: Exposing an Invisible Killer: The Dangers of Carbon Monoxide
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) urge families to inspect, protect and detect to safeguard loved ones from the 'Silent Killer'
To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/underwriterslaboratories/35573/
A new survey* released by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), an independent product safety testing organization, revealed that while many Americans claim they have some familiarity with the dangers of CO, many others admit their knowledge is shallow, a red flag considering CO is a significant problem in the U.S., sending more than 15,000 people to the emergency room each year**. The survey also revealed only half of Americans actually have a working CO alarm installed in their home and a whopping seventy-seven percent of American seniors believe CO can be easily detected by human senses.
Known as the "Silent Killer," CO is produced by incomplete burning of fuel, such as propane, kerosene, gasoline, oil, natural gas, wood and charcoal. A CO leak can be attributed to many common household sources including malfunctioning gas-fired appliances, space heaters, chimney flues and portable generators.
Because you cannot see it, smell it or taste it, you or your loved ones could be exposed to CO without even knowing it. The symptoms — headaches, fatigue, nausea, dizziness and shortness of breath — are often mistaken for the flu.
Municipal fire departments respond to an average of seven calls an hour where CO is present, according to a 2005 NFPA report on Non-Fire Carbon Monoxide Incidents.
"Each day, first responders are called upon to help people who have unknowingly been exposed to carbon monoxide and are suffering from CO poisoning," says
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more non-fire CO incidents occur in the month of January than at any other time of year. UL and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), an authority on fire and life safety, have teamed up to increase awareness about the dangers of carbon monoxide and urge families to INSPECT, PROTECT and DETECT when it comes to CO safety:
Have a qualified technician INSPECT fuel-burning appliances once a year
- Fuel-burning appliances such as furnaces, hot water heaters and stoves require yearly maintenance. Over time, components can become damaged or deteriorate. A qualified technician can identify and repair problems with your fuel-burning appliances.
- Avoid placing your CO alarm directly on top of or directly across from fuel-burning appliances.
PROTECT your home by purchasing and installing a CO alarm
- Purchase and install UL-LISTED CO alarms outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement and any other locations required by applicable laws; be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions carefully before installing the alarm.
- If you already have CO alarms installed in your home, make sure to test them monthly and replace the battery at least once a year.
Be prepared should your CO alarm DETECT a problem
- If your alarm sounds, immediately open windows and doors for ventilation and move to a fresh air location outdoors. Make sure everyone from inside the home is accounted for. Call for help from a fresh air location and stay there until emergency personnel arrive.
- If anyone in the home is experiencing symptoms of CO poisoning — headache, dizziness or other flu-like symptoms — immediately evacuate the house, call the fire department and seek medical attention.
- Be alert to some of the danger signs that signal a CO problem:
- Streaks of carbon or soot around the service door of your fuel-burning appliances
- Moisture collecting on the windows and walls of furnace rooms
- Fallen soot from the fireplace or small amounts of water leaking from the base of the chimney
"A CO alarm should not be confused with a smoke alarm," says

exteriors, he said.
In last year s election, Tunny said the voters approved the bus proposition
calling for five 66-passenger buses, one five-passenger bus and one van-type
bus that is typically used for smaller schools. The proposition passed with
a vote of 893-to-868.
This year s proposition features more affordable buses, Buhner said. He said
the district has made an attempt to scale down and seek buses that cost
less, but that offer the same safety standards.
This year we ve scaled down a little bit, Buhner said. We re going with a
little different type [of bus] that is a little less expensive but will
serve our purpose.
The buses voters will be deciding on this year are the traditional-style
school buses you might see with the engine in the front, whereas some of the
ones that have been voted on in years past had a flat nose with an engine in
the rear of the bus. The buses being voted on are more conventional, Buhner
said, which makes them come at a lower cost though they are as safe as the
buses with the flatter noses.
Buhner said the district is being extremely cautious with its decisions that
involve money this year.
Were trying to be very thoughtful about what we re doing, he said.
The entire bus fleet has 82 buses total, with all of the buses traveling an
average of about 15,000 miles per year, Buhner said. The average lifespan of
a bus is about 12 years or 175,000 miles.
Registered voters will be able to vote between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. on
Wednesday, Oct. 14, at one of the district s five elementary schools, which
are Veeder, Shaker Road, Forest Park, Saddlewood and Roessleville.

Hi, I was hoping some one on here could do a conformation critique of my mare Missy. I'm also curious to know what you's think she's built best for.
These aren't the greatest conformation shots but there all I have. And yes she does have a hay belly and no muscling, We're working on it.
