In 1958, Britain proposed that the Common Market be expanded into a transatlantic free-trade area. After the proposal was vetoed by France, Britain engineered the formation (1960) of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and was joined by other European nations that did not belong to the Common Market. Beginning in 1973, EFTA and the EEC negotiated a series of agreements that would insure uniformity between the two organizations in many areas of economic policy, and by 1995, all but four of EFTA's members had transferred their memberships from EFTA to the European Union.
One of the first important accomplishments of the EEC was the establishment (1962) of common price levels for agricultural products. In 1968, internal tariffs (tariffs on trade between member nations) were eliminated and a common external tariff was fixed. For subsequent developments, see European Union.
See A. E. Walsh and J. Paxton, The Structure and Development of the Common Market (1968); R. C. Mowat, Creating the European Community (1973); A. M. Eli-Agraa, ed., The Economics of the European Community (1985); A. Sapir and J. Alexis, ed., The European Internal Market (1989).
The European Economic Community (EEC, it was also known as the "Common Market" in the United Kingdom) was an international organisation created in 1957 to bring about economic integration between Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
It since enlarged to six other states and from 1967 its institutions also governed the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and European Atomic Energy Community (EAEC or Euratom) under the term European Communities. When the European Union (EU) was created in 1993, the EEC was transformed into the European Community, one of the EU's three pillars, with EEC institutions continuing as those of the EU.
In the aim of creating a federal Europe two further communities were proposed: a European Defence Community (EDC) and a European Political Community (EPC). While the treaty for the latter was being drawn up by the Common Assembly, the ECSC parliamentary chamber, the EDC was rejected by the French Parliament. President Jean Monnet, a leading figure behind the communities, resigned from the High Authority in protest and began work on alternative communities, based on economic integration rather than political integration. After the Messina Conference in 1955, Paul Henri Spaak was given the task to prepare a report on the idea of a customs union. The so-called Spaak Report of the Spaak Committee formed the cornerstone of the intergovernmental negotiations at Val Duchesse castle in 1956. Together with the Ohlin Report the Spaak Report would provide the basis for the Treaty of Rome.
In 1956, Paul Henri Spaak lead the Intergovernmental Conference on the Common Market and Euratom at the Val Duchesse castle, which prepared for the Treaty of Rome in 1957. The conference led to the signature, on 25 March 1957, of the Treaty of Rome establishing a European Economic Community.
Another crisis was triggered in regard to proposals for the financing of the Common Agricultural Policy, which came into force in 1962. The transitional period whereby decisions were made by unanimity had come to an end, and majority-voting in the Council had taken effect. Then-French President Charles de Gaulle's opposition to supranationalism and fear of the other members challenging the CAP led to an "empty chair policy" where by French representatives were withdrawn from the European institutions until the French veto was reinstated. Eventually, a compromise was reached with the Luxembourg compromise on 29 January 1966 whereby a gentlemen's agreement permitted members to use a veto on areas of national interest.
In 1967 the Merger Treaty was signed, which combined the institutions of the ECSC and Euratom into that of the EEC, they already shared a Parliamentary Assembly and Courts. Collectively they were known as the European Communities. The Communities still had independent personalities although were increasingly integrated. Future treaties granted the community new powers beyond simple economic matters which had achieved a high level of integration. As it got closer to the goal of political integration and a peaceful and united Europe, what Mikhail Gorbachev described as a Common European Home.
The 1960s saw the first attempts at enlargement. On 3 May 1960 Denmark, Ireland, Norway and the United Kingdom applied to join the three Communities. However, President Charles de Gaulle saw British membership as a Trojan horse for US influence and vetoed membership, and the applications of all four countries were suspended.
The four countries resubmitted their applications on 11 May 1967 and with Georges Pompidou succeeding Charles de Gaulle as French President, the veto was lifted. Negations began in 1970 under the pro-European government of Edward Heath, who had to deal with disagreements relating to the Common Agricultural Policy and the UK's relationship with the Commonwealth of Nations. Nevertheless, two years later the accession treaties were signed and all but Norway acceded to the Community (Norway rejected membership in a referendum).
The Treaties of Rome had stated that the European Parliament must be directly elected, however this required the Council to agree on a common voting system first. The Council procrastinated on the issue and the Parliament remained appointed, French President Charles de Gaulle was particularly active in blocking the development of the Parliament, with it only being granted Budgetary powers following his resignation.
Parliament pressured for agreement and on 20 September 1976 the Council agreed part of the necessary instruments for election, deferring details on electoral systems which remain varied to this day. During President Jenkin's tenure, in June 1979, the elections were held in all the then-members (see European Parliament election, 1979). The new Parliament, galvanised by direct election and new powers, started working full time and became more active than the previous assemblies.
Shortly after its election, Parliament became the first Community institution to propose that the Community adopt the Flag of Europe. The European Council agreed to this and adopted the Symbols of Europe as those of the Community in 1984.
Greece applied to join the community on 12 June 1975, following the restoration of democracy, and joined on 1 January 1981. Following on from Greece, and after their own democratic restoration, Spain and Portugal applied to the communities in 1977 and joined together on 1 January 1986. In 1987 Turkey formally applies to join the Community and begins the longest application process for any country (as of 2008, they are still in negotiations).
With the prospect of further enlargement, and a desire to increase areas of co-operation, the Single European Act was signed by the foreign ministers on the 17 and 28 February 1986 in Luxembourg and the Hague respectively. In a single document it dealt with reform of institutions, extension of powers, foreign policy cooperation and the single market. It came into force on 1 July 1987. The act was influence by work on what would be the Maastricht Treaty, which was agreed on 10 December 1991, signed the following year and coming into force on 1 November 1993 establishing the European Union.
The EU absorbed the EEC as one of its three pillars. The EEC's areas of activities became the European Community pillar, continuing to follow the supranational structure of the EEC. The EEC institutions became those of the EU, some changing their name accordingly, however the Court, Parliament and Commission had only limited input in the new pillars, as they worked on a more intergovernmental system than the European Community. If the Treaty of Lisbon is to come into force, this pillar system would be abolished and the Community way would be followed by these pillars also.
The six states that founded the EEC and the other two Communities were known as the "inner six" (the "outer seven" were those countries who formed the European Free Trade Association). The six were France, West Germany, Italy and the three Benelux countries: Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The first enlargement was in 1973, with the accession of Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Greece, Spain and Portugal joined throughout in the 1980s. Following the creation of the EU in 1993, it has enlarged to include a further fifteen countries by 2007.
Member states are represented in some form in each institution. The Council is also composed of one national minister who represents their national government. Each state also has a right to one European Commissioner each, although in the European Commission they are not supposed to represent their national interest but that of the Community. Prior to 2004, the larger members (France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom) have had two Commissioners. In the European Parliament, members are allocated a set number seats related to their population, however these (since 1979) have been directly elected and they sit according to political allegiance, not national origin. Most other institutions, including the European Court of Justice, have some form of national division of its members.
The EEC inherited some of the Institutions of the ECSC in that the Common Assembly and Court of Justice of the ECSC had their authority extended to the EEC and Euratom in the same role. However the EEC, and Euratom, had different executive bodies to the ECSC. In place of the ECSC's Council of Ministers was the Council of the European Economic Community, and in place of the High Authority was the Commission of the European Communities.
There was greater difference between these than name: the French government of the day had grown suspicious of the supranational power of the High Authority and sought to curb its powers in favour of the intergovernmental style Council. Hence the Council had a greater executive role in the running of the Community than was the situation in the EEC. By virtue of the Merger Treaty in 1967, the executives of the ECSC and Euratom were merged with that of the EEC, creating a single institutional structure governing the three separate Communities. From here on, the term European Communities were used for the institutions (for example, from Commission of the European Economic Community to the Commission of the European Communities.
The Council was composed of one national ministers from each state. However the Council meets in various forms depending upon the topic. For example, if agriculture was being discussed, the Council would be composed of each national minister for agriculture. They represented their governments and were accountable to their national political systems. Votes are taken either by majority (with votes allocated according to population) or unanimity. In these various forms they share some legislative and budgetary power of the Parliament.
Under the Community, the European Parliament (formerly the European Parliamentary Assembly) had an advisory role to the Council and Commission. There were a number of Community legislative procedures, at first there was only the consultation procedure, which meant Parliament had to be consulted, although it was often ignored. The Single European Act gave Parliament more power, with the assent procedure giving it a right to veto proposals and the cooperation procedure giving it equal power with the Council if the Council was not unanimous.
In 1970 and 1975, the Budgetary treaties gave Parliament power over the Community budget. The Parliament's members, up-until 1979 were national MPs serving part time in the Parliament. The Treaties of Rome had required elections to be held once the Council had decided on a voting system, but this did not happen and elections were delayed until 1979 (see European Parliament election, 1979). After that, Parliament was elected every five years.

Your article on "doorstep" remedies (24 March, p 18) reminds me of my own experiences studying wild edible plants used by traditional farmers in southern Ecuador. There, too, most plants were collected near houses and fields, leaving me disappointed that forest patches supposedly rich in biodiversity don't seem to be used much for collecting useful plants.
One important consideration is definitely distance: why go far if you can find the same plant nearby? But another reason, which your article didn't mention, is the fact that many so-called "wild" plants are really managed by people. Farming societies have integrated many useful wild plants into their agricultural systems.
This may mean that useful plants are tolerated as "weeds" in the fields or are left when new fields are cleared, whereas other plants are removed. Or interesting wild plants may be sown or transplanted into gardens or along fields or roads. This ...

President's Report
April 29, 2010
Dear Faculty and Staff,
As another academic year comes to a close, I want to thank you for all of the hard work and the commitment to quality that is so evident among the people of Mississippi State. Because of your efforts, we have had a good year marked by significant accomplishments and we have every reason to be optimistic about the future, despite the ongoing financial challenges.
Enrollment was at a record high as classes began in August and all indications point to another substantial increase this fall. We will ensure that we have sufficient faculty and staff in place to meet their classroom and other needs. Demand for a Mississippi State education is high, thanks to the quality of our programs and our university's traditional focus on helping students succeed. Forbes magazine ranked MSU 18th this year among colleges and universities where students "get the most quality for each tuition dollar spent." Our graduation rate now exceeds 61 percent.
The debut of our Maroon Edition first-year reading experience was a great success. Along with reading "A Painted House" by MSU alum John Grisham, hundreds of students, faculty, and staff chipped in to help build a Habitat for Humanity home in our community. Our freshmen will be reading "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson as the 2010 Maroon Edition book. For the second year in a row, our students earned a place on the national President's Higher Education Honor Roll, recognizing volunteerism and service learning.
Faculty productivity has led to a significant increase in external support for research and development. Grants and contracts for the first nine months of the current fiscal year surpassed $144 million, which is 18 percent ahead of last year's pace.
Alumni and friends continue to invest in helping MSU carry out its mission, despite the faltering economy. Fund raising for the first nine months of this fiscal year totals more than $46 million, up from the same time last year by one-third. We have added 14 new endowed scholarships and 79 new annual scholarships so far this year, and one new endowed faculty chair. The StatePride campaign to support scholarships and faculty development is off to a great start, with $34.5 million raised. The first StatePride Faculty Awards will be made this fall.
We are also benefiting from outstanding leadership by new administrators in key positions. Dr. Greg Bohach joined us last fall as Vice President for Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine. Dr. David Shaw became Vice President for Research and Economic Development in January. And Dr. Jerry Gilbert recently assumed the role of Provost and Executive Vice President. All three bring vision and energy to their roles.
We also hope to have a new Athletic Director identified very soon who will help maintain the momentum of our intercollegiate athletics programs.
I appreciate the many suggestions that were offered during the self examination we carried out this year with the help of the Select Committee on Efficiencies and Innovations (SCEI), and the hundreds of comments on the committee's recommendations. We are well on the way to putting in place a plan for the next two fiscal years that will protect the quality of our teaching, research and service, even as we adjust to reduced state support.
We are finishing the current fiscal year with about 9.5 percent less state funding than was originally budgeted for fiscal year 2010. We anticipate having about 13 percent less in state funding for next year, compared with the FY 10 starting point. And for the following year, FY 12, when federal stimulus funds awarded to Mississippi will have been exhausted, our state support may be 23 percent below the current year's original budgeted amount.
But thanks to careful planning and the cooperative spirit of our faculty and staff, we will be well positioned to weather those financial downturns with our quality intact. The SCEI recommendations are being carefully reviewed by our vice presidents with help from an Advisory Committee chaired by Dr. Glenn Steele, with faculty, staff and student members. Implementation of several recommendations related to administrative processes is under way or will be this summer. The Retirement Incentive Program will provide some budgeting flexibility in the year ahead and much more in the year after that.
I have recently approved a change in the distribution of research overhead funds recovered from funding agencies that grew out of an SCEI recommendation. In the future, the proportion of recovered overhead directed to the General Fund will be 44 percent, up from 40 percent. We have redirected the 4 percent that was previously set aside for the Reach for Excellence fund created a few years ago. The Office of Research will continue to receive 19 percent of overhead and the generating departments, colleges, centers, and institutes will continue to share the remaining 37 percent.
Decisions about SCEI recommendations related to academic programs will be made with involvement of the affected faculty members.
There is no question that these are tough times that require serious resolve, but having seen the way the Mississippi State family responded to the challenges during the past year, I am more confident than ever that we will come out of this recession more efficient and focused and with our quality high across the board. Our priorities will be to protect and build on academic quality, minimize the impact on our people, and continue to grow in enrollment, in research, and in fund raising as we move our university forward.
I appreciate more than I can say your dedication and support and your unflagging commitment to Mississippi State. Thank you for a great year, and have a safe and enjoyable summer.
Mark E. Keenum, President

Mississippi State will be dealing with a lack of experienced depth at the tight end position this year as Kendrick Cook is out with a neck injury.
Cook's injury means Marcus Green, who sat out most of last season with an torn ligament in his knee, is going to be the only one with experience at the position, but tight ends coach Scott Sallach, who is entering his third year with the Bulldogs, doesn't seem concerned.
"We are making progress but we have a young group with the exception of Marcus Green," Sallach said. "Everyday is big learning day even for Marcus because he hasn't played since the Auburn game last year. At every practice, we are taking steps to get to where we need to be to help the offense be successful."
MSU head coach Dan Mullen doesn't seem too concerned about the in-experience at tight end either.
"We are doing OK, " said Mullen. "Those guys are learning and we'll get them ready to play."
Green played in only two games last season, but had a good sophomore year in 2009 to build off of.
In his sophomore season, he scored three touchdowns and compiled 306 yards on 27 catches. Green earned six starts in 2009 and played in all 12 games. His biggest game that season was against LSU where he caught five passes for 100 yards and one touchdown.
Sallach isn't worried about Green's ability on the field, but knows coming back from an injury can be mentally grueling.
"He (Green) has to get himself focused on the mental aspect of playing again," said Sallach. "Knowing what to do and how to it is not his problem, it's the mental and physical part of going out and doing it is what he needs to focus on."
Green agrees with Sallach and is working hard to be at 100 percent when the season rolls around.
"I've still got a lot more to go but I feel better and better every day," Green said. "I expect to be full speed by September 1."
Other than preparing himself for the season, Green is also leading fellow tight ends Brandon Hill, who was redshirted last season, and Rufus Warren, who is a true freshman. Hill and Warren are inexperienced, but Green is making sure he is helping out whenever he can.
"All the tight ends behind me are very good too," Green said. "My main thing is I'm just trying to teach them how to work and be aggressive each and every day."
As two-a-days are underway, Sallach is making sure his guys are working hard to get ready to help the offense.
"They have to take advantage of every opportunity they are given to work on the necessary skills," said Sallach. "I have to make sure they are working and then put them in the situations that are their strengths."
Green has one last year to play at this level and he wants to leave a lasting impression on his teammates and in the history books.
"I just want to leave these guys with great intensity and knowing whenever you fall down you've got to get back up," said Green. "For me, I just want to be a champion before I leave."
Green also, hopes to stay healthy this season, and he's not letting his past injuries play a factor in this season.
"You've got to put the injuries behind you," Green said. "Football is a dangerous game. The main thing is knowing you are playing for a team who loves you and the best thing you can do is rehab and get back."
If Green stays healthy like he plans and Hill and Warren continue to progress, the tight ends are sure to play a role in the Bulldog offense.
"I think we have an opportunity to be a big part of what we're doing on offense," said Sallach. "We have such a versatile and athletic group that they will have an opportunity to create a lot of mismatches for the teams we're playing. If they progress like they are capable of, I think they'll play a big role this year."

Alternate Fuels
Okay, I'm going to start playing around with some serious alternatives to wood. When I first started that over in brick-oven land I was drawn & quartered but this is a kinder, gentler place so there may be potential for creativity here.
My two areas of investigation are going to be coal (anthracite) like the coal ovens of Lombardi's & Pepe's. There's a lot of difference in heat from various wood sources (we've seen some posts about that -- pine having only 1/2 the weight of oak has about 1/2 btus too) but it's about the same amount per pound (just that softwoods tend to weigh less then hardwoods). Coal on the other hand has about 75% more btu content by weight then wood so should deliver a hotter more dense fire. A small wood fire is required to start it but then the coal takes off. I am looking for local sources of coal in various sizes so I can do some research on what works best. (Our local coal guy retired a few years ago, oil was too cheap to compete with.)
The other thing I want to do is a robust & controlled propane burner setup. The big burner I built is a great honking fast heater but I'd like something with a wider flame pattern that's more readily adjustable. I think that's the key to being able to use its radiant heat. All of the ones I've seen in commercial ovens are long and flat in terms of their flame patterns.
Anyone have any ideas along these lines?
Ah propane and propane accessories. No reason not to use it to heat the volume up. My parents house in NorCal use propane for heating and cooking. No matter what the fuel is available, mom still manages to burn dinner once or twice, she has cooked on wood stoves, electric (managed to melt a pan onto a burner) natural and propane gas.
check out this idea to heat your pool
something on a smaller scale could be done to use the flue heat that is currenlty not tapped for use. I'm thinking something more in line with a foced air heater
edited to add the btu's of charcoal: 16000 btu's per pound

text: EMPORIA, Kan. - Republican challenger Milton Wolf confronted U.S. Senator Pat Roberts as he campaigned in downtown Emporia. Their brief meeting Wednesday took place at an intersection as Roberts walked from business to business to talk with merchants. The two are squaring off in Tuesday's Republican primary. Wolf told Roberts he wanted the senator to keep his promise to debate him. Roberts says he has no plans to debate Wolf. At their meeting on the street, Roberts told Wolf it was not the time for the discussion and walked away as a small group of journalists and Wolf supporters watched. A Wolf supporter shouted at Roberts, "If you can't face Milton Wolf, how can you face Barack Obama?" Roberts spokesman Sean Fitzpatrick called Wolf's move a stunt.

Peeling Wood
This morning, Lynchburg, Tennessee. Love the peeling wood.
Yard Art
This is something like my mother's mother would have done, in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, when I was a kid. Neat, with weedeater trim. I still love The South. Nelson and I ran upon this yesterday, scouting in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
Lower Ninth Ward
Wall in abandoned building, New Orleans. Last week.
Dinah DiNova plate
I sent Dinah DiNova some money for her New Orleans kickstarter project with wet plate. Yesterday, an original plate arrived. Whole-plate; just perfect. I love how the right side is irregular, like she cut it out with tin snips. A human hand touched it.
Missionary Mary Proctor: Ogden
Discovery of the day, at the Ogden in New Orleans, in the folk art section on the fifth floor: Missionary Mary Proctor.
Sidewalk sculpture
Unexplained sidewalk sculpture in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans, yesterday. What a great city; will be back soon. Back to NYC today.
I took time out to shoot a portrait of one of the Talent from a recent commercial project. Oh, to be a kid again, and for it to be summer forever. Beach every day; hot dogs for lunch; campfires at night…
Pride Parade: New Orleans
Great style. Great face.
Street Life: New Orleans
Brass band on Orleans Street today, mixed with crazy parade down Bourbon. Wild day. This is Ronald, age 52, who was dancing with the brass band. Hot, humid, sweaty, and fun. And then another street dancer, younger. And then a frame from the Gay Pride parade that ran through The French Quarter today.
French Quarter magician
Portrait of magician, last night in the French Quarter.
Foley, Alabama
In the middle of a commercial project, I ran upon this beautiful child on a fishing pier in Foley, Alabama, on Wednesday.
New Orleans, Day One
Pulled into New Orleans today, via Highway 90, through the Lower Ninth Ward. Still grim, after this many years; Katrina residue everywhere. More pictures to come; I'm still processing them. But here are some good faces from today — the stand-up bass player at The Spotted Cat; a waiter at Cafe Du Monde; and two lovers on the banks of the Mississippi.
On the road
Funny scene this morning on a fishing pier in Gulf Shores, Alabama — a fisherman shows us how this particular type of fish "suckers" onto larger fish, in order to catch a free ride. So he just pulls up his shirt and instantly attaches the live fish to his belly. (Location scouting for a ad project, with Brett Sahler. Sunscreen and bathing suits required).
sting rays.
Jesus Kidnapped
Today, with my iPhone hanging out my passenger window at 75mph. They tied him up and were last seen, headed to Gallatin.
Jim McGuire
I was backing up some hard drives today, and found this image of Jim McGuire today. He'd asked me to shoot a portrait of him for his solo show. Great dog, too.
My Neighborhood Church
9th Avenue South, and Bradford. It wasn't immaculate?
Virginia Team's world
Last Sunday, Jerry Joyner made a meal from scratch, and we drove out and visited Virginia Team, at her home near Ashland City. I met Virginia in the early 1980's, when she was the main Art Director at CBS Records, on Music Row. She had a reputation as being a world-class Art Director, with high standards. I remember being terrified when I went their the first time to show her my book. I remember it was summer, and she was dressed in all white, and the sun was shining in the window, and she was nice to me and welcoming.
Later, we became true friends, as we traveled the country, doing record covers over the years. There were many fun adventures out west, in Arizona and New Mexico, scouting remote locations. She has a heart of gold, (even though it was scary to work for her!). She has an eye for subtle CMYK color like I've never seen with anyone else. She was known for taking her grease pencil to Matchprints, and marking them up for retouching. I'd just stand in her office and marvel over what she'd take note of. There was this retouching broker, in those days — Bob Towery — and he'd bring in these Matchprints and retouching — on dye transfer prints, done by hand in those days, and she'd send them back, over and over, til they were perfect.
Now, she's retired, and lives on many acres outside of Nashville, with sixteen chickens, two cats, and Beau, the dog. Pete died a while back; he looks a lot like Beau.
We made a nice meal that day; took the golf cart out across the land; and built a nice fire. Was a good day.
Selling Veterans Newspapers
We met this fellow today, coming home from a shoot. The offramp of I-440 and Nolensville Road.
12South gets better and better
I shot this today at dusk. This unloved empty lot has just sat there for years. Then, finally, someone rented it this winter and installed a Christmas Tree yard on it. The smell of wood burning; warm lights in the trees — amazing how one thing that truly complete a neighborhood. 12South, 12th Avenue South, Nashville.
Cyber Monday
Some people shop at Best Buy, or WalMart, or Amazon. I shop at Hailey Salvage, on Dickerson Road, after Black Friday.
Kristy Robinson, Skye, and Holly
We photographed another in our series of mothers and children today. Just starting the edit, but here are a few images to start.
Congratulations: R.A. Dickey
R.A. Dickey won the National League Cy Young Award tonight. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. We shot his book cover recently, and after the session, he actually pitched some knuckleballs to me, (but not at full speed). And yes, they were hopping around more than Charlie Sheen on a fresh EightBall. I have some iPhone video of it somewhere. Anyway, below is an outtake frame that I shot with the old Liberator camera, on 4×5 B/W Polaroid. Congratulations to R.A. It was one hell of a season — he went 20-6, and was the first knuckleballer to win the Cy Young. His entire family was at the shoot — a bunch of kids and a really kind wife.
Harry Taylor: Tintype Photographer
Nice video and story about Harry Taylor, of Wilmington, North Carolina. Harry is a good man; he's helped me a good bit in my search for strange lenses.
Location Collodion: Red Barn Roundup
Here are some frames from today, from Allison Marusic's Red Barn Roundup in East Nashville. We got great character faces all afternoon, but ran out of ambient light at dusk. Could have shot faces all night. We went back to the Dallmeyer 9″ Petzval on this project, to get in closer to their faces, and to throw the depth of focus to almost nothing.
Thank you to Samantha Angel for great collodion prep, and to Derrick Hood for the dark box design.
Also, here is a link to Kathryn Johnson's photos from the party. Here's a frame with Allison.
Buttermilk Road Sunday Supper, October 14th, 2012
Here's a teaser image from tonight's Buttermilk Road Sunday Supper. A gigantic stripped-together image from the kitchen. By the looks of this image, everyone in 37215 was in attendance. The soup and the biscuits and the figs were to die for. Yummy.
Settling into Penland School
Note: This post is not about "serious photography". This post is about me falling in love with the North Carolina mountains, here at Penland School. I just shot snapshots all day, but loved it. I have no idea where I am, but it's about an hour and a half drive, north of Asheville. The iPhone5 GPS woman just said, "Just keep driving; you'll get there soon enough. There's no hurry; there's nowhere else to be; just enjoy the view, and stay present, and keep listening to that Tara Brach podcast".
I started out this morning, after coffee, shooting black-and-white, but the fall color just made me cave in, and switch over to processing in color. The artists in residence here are serious working artists; we toured their studios today. Very impressive work, and an even more impressive work ethic.
(Note: Updated images, posted at the top here, after the initial blog post).
Penland Workshop, via Newport, Tennessee street fair
On the way to attend a Penland workshop, high in the North Carolina mountains, with Dan Estabrook. The iPhone5 GPS took me thru Newport, Tennessee. I found an excellent street fair, filled with interesting faces.
Quiet Gentle Summer Rain
Nashville is turning into Portland, Oregon. The coffeehouses must be doing gangbuster business. Day six of rain. My bicycle is restless.

Residents can watch them play for free against Belgian league leaders Standard Liège on 11th January
La Manga Club continues to attract top teams at its training facilities in the Murcia Region
Germany's Borussia Dortmund will undertake a mid-winter training break at La Manga Club, in Murcia, Spain, for the third successive year, as they prepare to continue their assault on the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League.
On Saturday 11th January, at 4pm, residents of the region can enjoy a free friendly game between Germany's Borussia Dortmund and Belgian league leaders Standard Liège. Entry is free of charge at the grounds in La Manga Club. The football and sports facilities are well signposted on the resort.
Germany's Borussia Dortmund will undertake a mid-winter training break at La Manga Club, in Murcia, Spain, for the third successive year, as they prepare to continue their assault on the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League.
Currently sitting fourth in the Bundesliga and looking forward to a trip to Russia for a difficult last-16 UEFA Champions League clash with FC Zenit, Dortmund, and their highly rated coach Jürgen Klopp, will arrive at La Manga Club on January 9 and remain there until January 17.
Staying at the five-star Hotel La Manga Club Principe Felipe, star names such as much-sought-after striker Robert Lewandowski, Marco Reus, Jakub Blaszczykowski and Roman Weidenfeller will be utilising the venue's world-class training facilities throughout their stay, after it was selected as the club's sole training destination in Murcia.
And, in preparation for the resumption of the Bundesliga season after the now-traditional winter break, Dortmund will face Belgian league leaders Standard Liège in a mid-season friendly at La Manga Club (ko 4pm CET), as both sides look to prepare for second half of their promising campaigns. The match is free entry for spectators.
Dortmund are just the latest professional football outfit to base themselves at La Manga Club's world-class facilities, which have, in the past 12 months played host to no fewer than 60 teams including Europe's top-rated side, Barcelona, their Spanish rivals Real Madrid, and Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk.
International sides are also frequent visitors and England's new women's head coach Mark Sampson takes charge of the side for the first time at La Manga Club this month when his squad arrives for a warm weather training camp from January 12-18, while the venue will also provide the stage for teenagers from all over Europe to demonstrate their talents in two international under-17 and under-19 tournaments.
The early-year camp at La Manga Club has become an established part of the England women's calendar and they are just one of a number of international teams who will head to the five-star resort this spring to make use of its world-class facilities – which include eight international standard grass pitches.
La Manga Club has made a name for itself catering for the needs of the world's sporting elite. As well as its football training amenities, the resort boasts a fully equipped gym and indoor swimming pool, ideal for recovery sessions; and a host of rooms and spaces to cater for tactical meetings, private team dining or any other requirements.
Set in 1,400 acres, La Manga Club boasts unrivalled facilities as a sports and leisure destination including three 18-hole championship golf courses, a 28-court tennis centre and a 2,000sqm spa and fitness centre. It also offers the choice of a five-star hotel, four-star serviced apartments and townhouses and more than 20 bars and restaurants.

Who's Who at Emerge Global: Introducing Six New Emerginistas!
We are excited to say that we have six new dynamic Emerginistas joining the Emerge Global team. Learn about them below!
Betsy Greer - Communications Director
Betsy Greer is a writer, researcher and maker who has spent the past 7 years writing about the therapeutic benefits of craft and activism. In combining these two forces to form craftivism, she has helped open a global conversation on how creativity and positive change can help both individuals and communities. After spending a decade moving between England and North Carolina she received her MA in 2004 at Goldsmiths College and now lives in the southeast US. Believing in Emerge Global's mission to use creativity as a tool of transformation and therapy, she's excited to use her communications experience to help it, and those involved, grow.
Safia Ktiri-Idrissi - Sponsorship Coordinator
Morgan Sacco - Operations Director
Morgan grew up in the greater Sacramento, CA region and is a recent graduate of Boston University. In the fall, she will begin pursing her Master's degree in public affairs. During her youth, she spent many summers visiting her grandmother in Westchester County, outside of New York City. It was that experience and the encouragement from her father that led her to Boston University. While studying economics and international relations, she interned for Congresswoman Doris Matsui and at the African Presidential Archives and Research Center. She was drawn to Emerge Global, inc. because of its unique and effective method of lifting young women out of poverty by using their own skills. Furthermore, Morgan is excited to employ her creativity and good eye for design while making strategic decisions in sales, marketing, and product development.
Rachel Sceviour is currently working at Harvard University as a Staff Assistant for Transportation and Administration and Finance. Rachel previously worked at Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts as the assistant for the Medical Director and VP of Clinical Services. She has also been involved in Massachusetts politics working on numerous campaigns and interning in Congress. She is excited to be getting involved with an organization that is so clearly passionate about reaching out and helping young girls who have survived abuse and rape and being able to be a part of their path to self discovery and empowerment.
Balimkiz Senman - Outreach Officer
Balimkiz Senman was born and raised until the age of 11 in Ankara, Turkiye. She recently graduated from Wellesley College in May '09, completing a major in Neuroscience. She currently works in the Pathology department of Harvard Medical School as a research assistant and hopes to start medical school in September 2011. She first became involved with Emerge Global in 2008 and has been working to establish a chapter at Wellesley College. This year, as the Outreach Officer, she hopes to widen this goal and initiate the involvement of other campuses across the US.
Wendy Wen - Strategic Partnerships Officer
Wendy Wen currently works as an Analyst at The Blackstone Group in its Technology Mergers and Acquisitions Group, where she helps corporate clients explore a range of strategic issues such as entering new markets, competitive positioning, and maximizing shareholder value.

MIT Emerge Global College Chapter
Hi Everyone!
My name is Lyndz Steeves and I am a junior at MIT, double majoring in Urban Studies & Planning and Political Science. I am currently the President/Treasurer of the MIT Emerge Global College Chapter, and I am excited to announce that we have a a very wonderful and dedicated team of officers this year, who have some great ideas for our chapter's growth and impact on campus! Check it out :)
Hi! I'm Grace Yao, a junior in biology here at MIT. I am the Public Relations Officer for the Emerge Chapter this term, which means I will be working on establishing graphic images for the organization and creating flyers and other materials to promote events. Hopefully, the MIT Emerge chapter will grow this semester and find sustainable support within the faculty and administration, as well as continue to have successful sales on campus!
Hi, my name is Pia Pal. I'm a senior at MIT double majoring in Electrical Engineering and Brain and Cognitive Sciences. This term, I'll be the Lotus Table Director for the Emerge Chapter, which means that I'll be looking into organizing a roundtable event meant to foster discussion about issues around women's rights and roles in international development. I'm really excited about it, and am hoping that eventually we might be able to even organize a bigger event that includes other institutions in the area in the coming terms.
Hi, My name is Danielle Whited and I am a junior at MIT majoring in Mechanical Engineering. For the Spring '10 semester, I am serving as the Fundraising Coordinator for the EG Chapter. I am super excited for our upcoming bake sale this semester, and we are already considering a much larger project for the Fall term involving a movie screening and all the women's groups on campus! Stay tuned for some exciting events!

Celebrating International Women's Day with WIN
On March 8, International Women's Day, Emerge Global was invited to celebrate with the WIN Nonprofit Network in Washington, D.C. We've got quite a contingent in the D.C. area nowadays, and so this event was the perfect opportunity to introduce Emerge Global to the area. I sold jewelry with the help of Natalie, an Emerge Board member, Brittany, a WIN volunteer, and our newest Emerginista, Safia. I also gave a presentation about Emerge Global (my first Emerge presentation! I was quite nervous).
In addition to our gracious hosts, the WIN Nonprofit Network and the George Washington University Center for Excellence in Public Leadership, we were fortunate to have as a venue the historic Sewall-Belmont House, which was a very appropriate location, given the occasion.
WIN organized a great evening, with inspiring speeches by Sima Osdoby, Senior Partner of Global Concepts & Communications, and Kathy Korman Frey, the Chief Hot Mamma of the Hot Mammas Project. What a great way to introduce Emerge Global to Washington, D.C.!
A big thank you to the incredible women of WIN, George Washington University, the Sewall-Belmont House, and of course everyone who came to celebrate International Women's Day with Emerge Global! Read more »
Thank you, Vagina Monologues@MIT!
Here at Emerge Global, we're always looking for new ways to participate in the local community. This month, we had the opportunity to be the beneficiary of MIT's production of the Vagina Monologues! The Vagina Monologues brings together a diverse group of people from the MIT community, with vastly different backgrounds and interests, united under the common goal to stop violence against women. All proceeds from the MIT production go to local anti-violence organizations helping them to continue and expand their core work. Grassroots movements like V-Day have made significant progress to educate the public and raise awareness about the impact of violence against women. The Vagina Monologues joins their efforts. Hosted on Valentine's Day weekend, the MIT chapter of Emerge represented Emerge Global at the Vagina Monologues productions, selling Emerge jewelry and answering questions during the event.
We are happy to say that the Vagina Monologues was a huge success this year, selling many more tickets than last year and raising $8100 for Emerge Global! We also sold $253 dollars of jewelry and spread the word through a large stack of pass-it-on cards. The crowd consisted of dedicated Emerginistas as well as many new faces, so our story touched hundreds of new hearts. Our supporters loved our new, bold colors and tags, and were especially excited to hear that we had expanded our program! The Vagina Monologues volunteers staffed our booth on Saturday and Sunday and did an excellent job, with very little prep, so a huge "Thank you!"
Thank you to everyone who attended the event and to the production staff. Everyone at Emerge Global is so grateful for your support! Read more »

"It's really quite amazing to see the quality of art coming out of today's little pocket-size Star Trek gadgets"
~Captain Photo!
I love my iPhone. Any Smartphone I'm sure I would be just as happy with. They are all amazing! Many people have actually given up carrying a camera because the one they have with them everywhere they go has gotten so freaking good!
But when I look at Facebook… well, some of those photos I'm seeing could use a bit of a scrub-up. It's so easy to point, shoot 'n upload, that we go unconscious about why we even take all the trillions of photos that we do. Well the reason we take many of them is because we want to share our view of the world. So please, before you share yours, clean up your corner first. When I see your corner of the world posted online, I want to see what you saw. Tell me a story. Spend two or three minutes with your new baby photo now nestled safely in the device carried in the palm of your hand. Make sure she looks her best before sending her out into the world. You must be proud of her because you posted her. So, make me love her too.
Where you do that you are making art. It's now possible for you, and virtually everybody, to let your inner artist be expressed.
From a point of curiosity let me ask; are you already doing something with your photos beyond the "point-shoot-share" workflow?
If not, here's a workflow I ask to you consider adopting. "point-shoot-CREATE-proudly share"
You'll see how rewarding it is to make a little art out of a snapshot you just took
and Instantly get to see how cool you can make it look! (Oh, now I'm a Poet)
Most photos can be spiffed up flat fast with one app that's FREE! Just a hunch, but I bet your right brain doesn't get enough exercise. So this new artform seems to be a perfect workout to buff-up your creativity into shape!

On Thursday, Gov. Christie endorsed his close friend and longtime political ally state Sen. Joe Kyrillos (R-Monmouth) for U.S. Senate.
The governor made the endorsement at a press conference in a diner in Springfield. Kyrillos is campaigning to defeat incumbent U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) in the November election.
"We have been able to begin to turn things around in New Jersey because of reformers and leaders like Joe Kyrillos," Christie said. "The New Jersey comeback has begun but to really turn things around we need to make a change in Washington. We need to send reformers like Joe to make tough decisions and fix our national problems. When New Jersey sends Joe Kyrillos to the U.S. Senate, I am confident the national comeback will begin.
"Joe and his wife have been good friends of mine for nearly 20 years, and they are wonderful people," the governor added. "New Jersey would be extraordinarily well-served by Joe Kyrillos in the United States Senate."
"I am honored to have the endorsement of my good friend, Governor Christie," Kyrillos said. "For the past two years we have been working together to turn New Jersey around. Thanks to the Governor's leadership and the reforms we have implemented, the New Jersey comeback has begun. We are making the tough decisions that need to be made and tackling problems head on. I am running for the United States Senate because it is time we started making those same tough decisions and tackling problems head on in Washington.
"Over the past 6 years Bob Menendez has stood on the sidelines while our national debt has skyrocketed from $8.1 to $15.3 trillion, employment has increased over 76 percent, and our annual deficit has grown five-fold," Kyrillos said. "I will bring to Washington energy, honesty, leadership, integrity and hard work in order to ensure that the last century – the American Century – is not an historical accident.
Kyrillos, 51,of Middletown, served as chairman of Christie's 2009 gubernatorial campaign. He is employed as snior managing director of Colliers International, a commercial real estate services firm. He is also an advisor to the Newport Capital Group in Red Bank.

Pulitzer Prize-winning play to be performed in Silver Bay
March 22, 2013 at 8:53 am in Lake County News-Chronicle
Lake Superior Community Theater executive director, Paul Deaner admits that producing a tragedy is a departure from the upbeat musicals that are the bread and butter of many small theater companies. Undaunted, he has chosen to bring Arthur Miller's Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning play, "Death of a Salesman," to the stage in April. Continue Reading

|Harold Miller Lewis 1893-1978
|Laboratory notebook
|Manuscript, 137 p., July 21, 1918-January 8, 1919
|While working under the direction of Captain Edwin H. Armstrong (1890-1954) in the Paris laboratory of the U.S. Signal Corps, Corporal Harold M. Lewis kept this notebook in which he recorded the invention of Armstrong's superheterodyne circuit, the basis for most radio, television and radar receivers. On August 13, 1918, Armstrong first explained to Lewis his new short wave amplification system; the complete circuit designs and the first working model were finished between August 14 and September 3, 1918. Thus, Armstrong had created a circuit capable of handling radio signals at much higher frequencies than were then possible. Lewis went on to a career in radio engineering and patented nearly sixty inventions of his own. Armstrong, who during his junior year at the College in 1912 invented the regenerative or feedback circuits, later became Professor of Electrical Engineering and invented in 1933, FM, frequency modulation, the basis for static-free radio reception of high facility.

Karl Popper, or Sir Karl Popper (he was knighted in 1965), was one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. He is best known for promoting the view that scientific theories ought to be falsifiable, and can not be confirmed via induction. However, this was only one of several influential theories he advanced about the nature of science, and about the nature of knowledge in general. His larger aim was to challenge both the "language philosophy" and the positivist philosophy of science dominant in Vienna in the 1920s and 1930s which he encountered as a student. Popper regarded inquiries into the formal or logical structure of the language of science as a fruitless enterprise, and he intended to replace it with …

Over the past 50 years, the salty parts of the oceans have become saltier and the fresh regions have become fresher, and the degree of change is greater than scientists can explain.
Researchers are heading out into one particularly salty ocean region, in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, in the hopes of better understanding what drives variation in salinity in the upper ocean.
Ultimately, they hope, research like this will offer insight on the dynamics behind the dramatic changes in the ocean's salt content.
Many oceanographers have a hunch about what is going on: Climate change, Ray Schmitt, a senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, told journalists during a news conference Wednesday (Sept. 5).
"Climate is changing all the time, and some of that change is due to natural variation," Schmitt said. "The 50-year trend we are talking about, most of us believe is really due to the general trend of global warming."
This matters because the ocean is at the heart of the planet's water cycle: 86 percent of global evaporation and 78 percent of global precipitation occur over the ocean, according to NASA, the lead entity behind the project, called Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study (SPURS).
Over the ocean, more evaporation as compared to precipitation translates into saltier water. Meanwhile, in regions where precipitation is favored, water is fresher.
By tracking ocean salinity, researchers can better understand the global water cycle. Global warming is expected to intensify it, but current computer models do not predict the amount of change seen over the last 50 years, Schmitt said.
Aside from an increase in evaporation caused by warming, such factors as winds can also contribute to changes in salinity.
"We have a lot of questions about the basic physics we hope to resolve with this cruise," Schmitt said.
The research vessel Knorr departed Woods Hole, Mass., for the mid-Atlantic Thursday (Sept. 6). The researchers will spend about three weeks deploying their instruments, leaving some behind for when they return.

Calling It Quits: Is Phaedra Parks Leaving The Real Housewives Of Atlanta?
Real Housewife of Atlanta cast member, Phaedra Parks has been trying to keep a low profile ever since the news of her hubby's 8 -year prison sentence went viral. Taping for Real Housewives of Atlanta season 7 is already underway, and it appears that Phaedra is doing as little filming as possible with cast member and husband Apollo Nida.
According to S2SMagazine, Phaedra is purposely avoiding filming with Apollo. Cast member Cynthia Bailey recently held an event to celebrate her Ebony Magazine spread, and there were many Real Housewives of Atlanta cast members in attendance. It was reported once Phaedra found out that Apollo was in attendance she changed her mind about going. I wonder if it had anything to do with people spotting Apollo and cast member Kenya Moore filming together. Rumor has it that Apollo was trying to come clean and admitted to Kenya that he lied about the whole texting scandal that plagued his story line for the past two seasons.
It appears that Ms. Parks does not want the drama of her husband's impending prison term to play out in front of the cameras, and her absences have sparked all kinds of speculations that she may be leaving the show temporarily. Phaedra has already filmed some scenes for the upcoming season, and there has been no official word from Phaedra, Apollo, or the Bravo Network regarding Ms. Parks' departure.

'Child bride' Courtney Stodden kicked off Facebook
We imagine many of you wish you could ban Courtney Stodden from various facets of life. However, Facebook has taken the initiative and started the movement.
Courtney Stodden, the 17-year-old 'child bride' of "Lost" actor Doug Hutchinson (51), was kicked off of Facebook for "inappropriate sexual content." Stodden's personal and fan pages have both been pulled down.
Krista Keller, Stodden's mom, is coming to her daughter's defense. Keller told E! News her theories on the source of the problem:
"[J]ealousy from...women towards her...The men love her, the women hate her. The women report the photo[s] because it's so easy to do...They think she's too sexy, they all report her together, and it's done...There is nothing on her page you wouldn't find anywhere on Facebook...She has never done any nudity...It's just her in a bathing suit.
Hmm. We put our detectives on the case and our theory is that perhaps Facebook is watch-dogging extremely provocative photos of a reported minor. But apparently, Stodden's mom is fighting for the right of her 17-year-old daughter to flaunt her "sexy" figure on Facebook. Who would have thought that a faceless social network site would turn out to be the responsible parenting figure here?
UPDATE: The dream is dead. In a statement made to E!, Facebook says that Stodden's "page was removed in error and has been restored. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused." Even though her conspiracy theorizing was a cause for the story breaking, Stodden's mother Keller is ready to forgive, saying that "we have the utmost respect for Facebook and Mark [Zuckerberg]." We're sure Mark is thrilled to hear it.

Jane Seymour's furniture line, Platine de Royale, is facing issues with inventory stuck in West Coast ports.
The ongoing labor strife at West Coast ports is putting pressure on retailers, such as GameStop and Ann Taylor, who need speedy access to the billions of dollars worth of imports that come in through the docks.
Speculation is growing that OPEC may have no choice but to cut production when it meets on Thanksgiving Day.
We're moving into a time of year that's been difficult for bulls, historically. However, if the market does sell off, Cramer won't cry.
"At some point this year, all these stocks were brutally slaughtered," Cramer said.
An activist investor urged Ann to sell itself, failing which each of the company's board members should buy back stock as a "sign of confidence."
For the second year in a row, selling in May hasn't panned out the way people thought it would.
Janet Yellen left traders with three takeaways: the dollar will strengthen, rates will rise, and easy money policies are on their way out.
The "Fast Money" traders share their final trades of the day.
A number of specialty stores have pumped the brakes on their dramatic discounts, but department stores are still offering big price cuts.
According to ShopperTrak, traffic for the week ended Dec. 22 was down 21.2 percent year over year.

Fiscal cliff: Many "Plan C's" are floating around, but President Barack Obama outlined the only real deal that is on the table — raise taxes on the top two percent, and restore the Bush-era tax cuts for the rest.
Just as Black Friday spilled over into Thanksgiving night, Cyber Monday has gone from being a one-day event to a tentpole for more than a week's worth of promotions and discounts, NBCNews.com reports.
Hurricane Sandy will affect some retailers worse than others, as stores across the Northeast remain closed ahead of the holiday season, Morgan Stanley retail analyst Kimberly Greenberger told CNBC on Thursday.

It's seems that even though I've been out of school, I've still been super busy and I hate it. I've enjoyed all the things that have kept me busy but still I wish I had more time to just slow down and enjoy my life and my family.
It's not a secret that I lead a busy life, with 5 kids there's really no other choice. I try to involve myself in everything I can but most days I always end up not doing something I really wanted to do with the kids or my husband.
I can't figure out how to stay organized, while being a super mom and wife... plus add in trying to be the other roles I need to be too. I know I'm not alone. How do you deal with it all??
Parenting fail...
I promised Ella I would start reading Little House on the Prairie with her about a week ago....I haven't read one page. I also promised that I would work on her school book with her....and I haven't. Not to mention I haven't played catch with any of the kids.. Lets not even talk about how I haven't started on the flower gardens or vegetable garden.. or that my goal of cleaning one room a day went out the window like after day 2.
Some days I feel like a failure other days I feel like its completely normal that I struggle.
Today I've decided I need to start making some changes....
Since I'm a list person...that's where I'll start.
My lists of lists I need to make....
- Things I want to complete. House oriented.
- My healthy lifestyle goals and how I'm going to achieve them.
- Daily goals...for example..important things I want to complete daily...example- read to the kids, take the dog for a walk, spend quality time with Tim.
- The kids summer goals.
- Craft ideas----Pinterest ideas.
That's all I can think of for now. But I think that's a good start.
I'm really going to focus on spending time with my family....without interruptions...
I'm also going to focus on not letting things out of my control stress me out... I'm so guilty of this. I can't control or change everything. I need to just try to be the best I can no matter what I face in the future.
I'm a lucky woman...I have a husband that loves me, wonderful healthy kids, and an amazing extended family.
My plan is to focus each day and not get overwhelmed with what could happen a week or a month from now, I want my family to have good memories and enjoy their lives.
How do you organize yourself? How do you slow down and enjoy life? How do you prioritize your family life and everything else?

Box 2568
Kisii, Kenya
June 7, 1986
Fraley's Chapel Church of Christ
c/o Jim Brown
Rt. # 8 Box 320
Corinth, Mississippi 38834
Dear fellow workers in Christ,
Rejoice with us! Three were baptized this month in the Macalder area. This marks the beginning of the Godkwach Church of Christ. With your continued prayers, this new babe in Christ will grow and mature. Barry and I return there tomorrow for our first Sunday worship together. We are very thankful for these new Christians, and very uplifted and encouraged by their attitudes.
Speaking of Sundays, we thought you would be interested to learn how we spend our Sundays with the Christians in South Nyanza. We usually leave the house between 7:30-8:00 a.m. each Sunday and are on our way, over the bumpy roads to any one of the 31 congregations in South Nyanza. Depending on where we go, the trip could take only 45 minutes to 1 hour, or it could take 3- hours. Each Sunday we carry a jug of boiled water and a gift of tea, sugar and bread for the family who feeds us. Often times, they only get bread when we bring it or for special occasions.
When we arrive, we go directly to the house in which the Christians meet, or we go to their church building, if they are fortunate enough to have built one. Church buildings here are made of mud and thatch just as our mud house in Winyo was. Men sit on one side of the building, women on the other. The men usually sit on chairs with backs. The women on backless benches or on reed mats. Children sit with the women. Before we sit down, we must shake everyone's hand.
Services begin when everyone gets there. Sometimes we wait only a few minutes, but more often we wait for an hour or two. Usually, I am already tired when service begins. There is singing and prayer much like worship in the States only in Luo, of course, and then preaching begins. These men love to preach! Usually there are as many as four preachers, and on one occasion we heard six. And ..., they are not your basic 3 point, 20-minute sermons. Some preach for over an hour'. I am constantly amazed at how these people love to hear the Word. After preaching we take the Lords Supper and have collection, and then it is time for general greetings. Greetings are a very important part of Luo culture. Visitors are introduced and given an opportunity to say a few words, and generally, the people just show each other how happy they are to be together. Another round of handshakes, and this time, usually more vigorously. Now, it is anywhere from 3-4 p.m. and my back is killing me.
Hospitality time.' If greetings are the most important part of Luo culture, hospitality is second. We are taken to the home (mud and thatch) of one of the Christians and are seated until they prepare a meal for us. Another wait of an hour or so, but often times productive with individual study. The meal consists of chicken and kuon (a very stiff cornmeal mush). I still brace myself when the chicken comes because Luos serve the whole chicken, head and feet included. There is no silverware. We eat with our fingers. Luos
do not eat chicken everyday. They usually only have enough to serve to visitors. They are very hospitable people. Chicken and kuon is followed by a course of tea and bread or rabuon (sweet potato), broiled and served whole. Women serve the meal and eat separately from the men, but they are always careful to seat me beside Barry,
(I haven't figured out why, yet.) After the meal, all gather together for a song, and then we are released with a prayer. By now
it is beginning to get dark and we usually have a long ride home.
We are both very very tired physically, but almost always spiritually uplifted.
This last Sunday, we were visiting a congregation that was new to us and had no directions. We only knew the general area. As we traveled down a 25-mile stretch of dirt road, having no idea just exactly where the church was located, we got a flat tire. As we were changing the tire a man came by to ask us if we needed help. We told him who we were looking for, and he said, "Oh.' He lives right over there." Our tire went flat just a few hundred yards from the church. Is that Providence?
We are fine and looking forward to the Barr's return. Hope you are all well too. We pray daily for your work in the States.
In Christian Love,
Barry and Stacy
