There is an awesome advocacy story in the commuting forum... check it out:
Policeman told me to get on the sidewalk today..
There is an awesome advocacy story in the commuting forum... check it out:
Policeman told me to get on the sidewalk today..
That's pretty cool...Originally Posted by Helmet Head
An experienced cyclist will know the difference between holding up traffic and simply appearing to hold up traffic. Each person has a different perspective, and sometimes the police might call it differently than the cyclist.Originally Posted by Owltooth
All things considered, even if the police officer is not respectful (and in this case, he seemed very polite,) I think it's usually best to obey the officer and swallow your pride. Believe me, I know how tough that can be, too, when you honestly believe you're in the right.
I don't mean this to condemn the OP, I feel for him. In the same situation, I might have done exactly the same thing, but I don't recommend it to anyone. It's often best just to comply, and let things go. That doesn't mean becoming a door-mat, I think you should follow up if your rights are being violated.
Keep in mind that while we have a right to the road, individual state laws often state the cyclist, if other traffic is backing up behind him/her, should move over to let traffic pass. This is a judgement call that the cyclist usually makes, but sometimes the police do, as well.

No worries
The OP states that there were two lanes of traffic in each direction.Keep in mind that while we have a right to the road, individual state laws often state the cyclist, if other traffic is backing up behind him/her, should move over to let traffic pass.
I am a mutated sig Virus. Please put me in your sig so that I can continue to replicate and mutate, blah!.
I think its more a statement of the ignorance of police, versus any real advocacy.
I hardly find it awesome or even advocacy. if he started a public campaign to educate the police and the public that bicyclists belong, that'd be different.
I think the OP of this thread has often opined that drivers don't need any additional training as to cyclists, the onus of safety is on the bicyclists wheels and shoulders alone.
how does the OP of this thread feel about national training for police about cyclists rights and weaknesses?
"Evidence, anecdote and methodology all support planning for roadway bike traffic."
Strongly oppose. But that's because I generally favor decentralizing government power. But I do strongly favor training for police about cyclist rights and best practices at the state, county and local levels. In fact, I know someone who is making some promising inroads in this area. If he is successful, I hope to follow in his footsteps in my area.Originally Posted by Bekologist
I understand, the OP (Owltooth) was saying there was plenty of room for traffic to clear. I ride roads like he describes in rush hour traffic all the time, and I'm in complete agreement with his judgement.Originally Posted by zeytoun
But if a policeman ordered me to do move over, I'd do it, even if I thought he was wrong.
The policeman's judgement might have been less accurate than the OP's, but the law might have sided with the policeman.
No worries
All of the laws against impeding traffic while operating a slow moving vehicle that I've read have only applied when there is no lane for passing provided.Originally Posted by LittleBigMan
I understand, and it's a personal decision whether you will comply with an order that you believe is baseless. I respect your point of view.Originally Posted by LittleBigMan
My response to you was just commenting specifically on the "backing up traffic" point, not the rest of your post.
I am a mutated sig Virus. Please put me in your sig so that I can continue to replicate and mutate, blah!.
Again, I ride like this all the time, and never leave the road to let traffic pass. I figure if they're grown up enough to reach the gas pedal, they ought to be able to pass me on a bike.Originally Posted by joejack951
The point is, I disagree with Owltooth's choice to argue with a policeman, but it's a free country, after all. I guess I'm more "non-confrontational" in nature. Plus, I've not had much success challenging the powers-that-be on their own turf.
My advice stands, unless it's a real policy-changing "Rosa Parks" move, there's not much point in arguing with cops. This one seemed pretty laid-back, though.
No worries

Ok, just checking. I've been in the same situation as Owltooth except it was on an empty 4 lane road where I was using the travel lane instead of the shoulder. A police officer decided he didn't want to change lanes to pass even with no one else around and being the kind of guy I am I held my ground even when he honked (of course, I did turn around and wave when he did). I pulled over when he turned on the lights though and let him know what I thought about him ordering me onto the shoulder for supposedly impeding traffic (maybe not the smartest move on an empty road early in the morning). Anyway, you give good advice and I'd probably do more of what you are suggesting than what I did before if I ever encountered a similar situation. Of course, I'd also get a badge number and report him immediately.Originally Posted by LittleBigMan
I think I'm like the third, so I can't claim creativity as a motivation... I think the twin portrait subject matter is just too easy of a target. I keep getting confused when the other guys (who just switched the heads) posts.(Hey, Zeytoun, why is everyone messing around with Chippie's avatar? At first, I though it was really him...)
I'll substitute my cat's head for Chipcom's later today... maybe that will be less confusing.

Dang, I can't believe he did that! Amazing...! I guess I'm getting an education about ignorance!Originally Posted by joejack951

From an advocacy point of view, I respectfully disagree in this case. The policeman was plainly ignorant of the law; he said the bike should be on the sidewalk. If you are at all aware of the abysmal level of cycling knowledge in the general public, how can you not try to correct him on that point of law, which as an enforcer of the law he should already know? He'll only go on to impose it on other cyclists in the future. That's why this was advocacy, because the OP was at least partially trying to educate the officer. We might disagree on the words or tactics he used, but I think that's what he was basically trying to do, and I support him on it.Originally Posted by LittleBigMan
Not only was the policeman legally in the wrong, he was speaking from the prevelant belief of bikes as second-class road users that must never delay motor vehicles. That's actively anti-cycling!
Advocacy can be one-on-one, although granted it's usually more effective coming from an official organization. I believe that I'm engaging in a little bit of advocacy every time I'm driving my bike predictably and legally in traffic.
Maybe...I wouldn't mind being wrong about this particular incident.Originally Posted by JohnBrooking
In principle, I stand by my belief that it's usually better to obey the authority, then follow up with protest later. It looks better to a judge. It also might go a long way to educating policemen, too, if you show them you're agreeable.

Booty quake: Nicky Da B's the next big thing from NOLA
"Diplo calls the bounce beat the perfect beat," said NOLA bounce DJ Rusty Lazer in our recent mid-Mardi Gras Guardian interview at his Bywater home. If you're wondering just what the world of bounce looks like, Swoon wheatpastes, drinks-to-go, street parties, and all, you can check Rusty protege Nicky Da B's new video for "Express Yourself", featuring Diplo himself and local dance queen Quack. Following in the wake of Big Freedia's nationwide success, Nicky's the next wave of bounce exuberance. (I mean, @2:00 he's dancing upside-down, jungle gym-style.) If you thought Big Freedia had azz everywhere, you should probably watch this clip.

Heck yeah.Ocelot said:Question for people who said PS3 for JRPGs and PC for WRPGs... would you say PC for everything if those JRPGs came out for PC? (Usually the WRPGs are multi-platform, and you've chosen PC for them, which is why I'm curious.)
90% of PC games these days include native controller support. That's a non-issue.Rya.Reisender said:But many JRPGs aren't designed to be played with mouse so the controls will suck by default. Think of Dungeon Siege 3.
Yeaaaa, you missed my point. When I say native controller support, I mean identical to console version controls. As an example, the gamepad controls for Borderlands 2 are exactly the same as the Xbox 360 version. The same goes for almost any other game out there. It's not like it was 10 years ago, the rise of console popularity over the last decade has pretty much made it a standard feature in recent years. Only a handful of multiplatform PC games don't include it now.Rya.Reisender said:I disagree. There's a HUUUUGE difference between a game that is designed to be played with gamepad and a game that has gamepad support.
For example compare Phantasy Star Online with any other MMORPG with gamepad support. Completely different worlds.
Kiralyn said:For JRPGs? Playstation
For WRPGs? PC
Hmm. Of course, that "Playstation" is more like PS2. Haven't been nearly as many console (compared to handheld) JRPGs this gen.
(do not have a Wii, 360, or any handheld.)
More of a selection of genres, and you can download old PS2 and PS1 games to play on it. That would be my guess as to why, anyway, as 360 still has better online play.Rya.Reisender said:I really don't get why so many people favour the PS3 over 360.
This would definitely be the reason. I also like the Playstation controller better in general and find it better for fighting games than the Xbox controller. I don't do online play on consoles so the 360 being better at that isn't a factor.DarkRPGMaster said:More of a selection of genres, and you can download old PS2 and PS1 games to play on it. That would be my guess as to why, anyway, as 360 still has better online play.
Can't think of any games I'd want to play on the 360, beyond a couple of XBLA rereleases (Radiant Silvergun & Virtual On).Rya.Reisender said:I really don't get why so many people favour the PS3 over 360.

High ceilings, good-quality linen, and original art in each room contribute to the luxe atmosphere.

Great Polish foods, and outstanding homemade Polish sausage, smoked and fresh, the kind you could only before get in Poland. It is Big Franks Deli and Restaurant, at 1417 Carrol Street, in East Chicago, Indiana, 219-378-9556, and ask for Stan, and tell him I told you to shop there. I took one of his sausage, smoked, platters to my Polish meeting yesterday, and all loved everything.Now you don't have to drive all the way to Chicago, for the best Polish sausage and other Polish food items, and still get the best.Give it a try, and let me know what you think.Mike

I couldn't agree with you more! I couldn't tell who was shadier, Ghysels or the board members. It was so obvious at the board meeting that their decision was made before the meeting even started. What is the point of public input if it's completely disregarded?
Ghysels sent out a parent/community newsletter just minutes after the board meeting ended at midnight outlining the details of the decision. Tell me that wasn't written days in advance and someone was just waiting to hit the SEND button once the meeting was over!
Terminate him and the board members!

Winter Sports
Starting in January, fourth and fifth grade students who have signed up and paid can go skiing at Tussey Mountain. This program lasts for 4 to 6 weeks. Students are transported to Tussey Mountain by a SCASD school bus and parents have to pick them up by 7 PM. On November 15th, there is an Elementary Intramural ski meeting in room 230 at 7:00 PM in the SCAHS South Building. This is the only intramural activity that students have to pay for. Parents can ski with their children for the same group discount. If you want to ski, please contact me in order to get a parent discount coupon. Students owning their own skis can bring them to school in the morning. Some parents opt to take their children or carpool a group of children out to Tussey Mountain instead of having them take a bus. This is fine as long as they have signed up at the school office so someone knows that they are with our group.
Besides skiing, fourth and fifth graders can participate in volleyball. We will be playing volleyball twice a week. Fourth graders can participate until the end of February. Fifth graders will continue to practice until the March tournament.
Winners from the fall basketball hoop shoot practice can participate in the Elks Club Hoop Shoot Contest at Mount Nittany Middle School on a Saturday morning in January. If anyone wins in their age category at the Elk's Club Hoop Shoot, they may eligible to continue to compete. It will be the parent's responsibility to take their child to the Hoop Shoot and stay while their child is participating. Participants who go to the Elk's Club will receive a free basketball tee shirt.
If you have any questions about these winter activities, you can call Mrs. Esther Cordell at school.

Radon gas which is emitted from the ground can build up in the home and is thought to cause over 1,000 deaths from lung cancer a year in Britain.
Different parts of the country have differing concentrations of the radioactive gas and the Health Protection Agency has set levels above which action should be taken.
However the HPA has now set a lower target level and urged homeowners whose house measures between the two points to consider taking action to reduce levels of the gas by making adjustments to the building such as improving underfloor ventilation.
The HPA said it was introducing the new target level because the latest research has led to a greater understanding of the health harms that radon can cause at lower concentrations.
Dr John Cooper, director of the HPA's Centre for Radiation, Chemicals and Environmental Hazards, said: "We are retaining the Action Level of 200 Bq m-3 so that our efforts can be firmly focussed on those at greatest risk. However the new Target Level of 100 Bq m-3 will enable us to ensure people are aware that even below 200 Bq m-3 there are still risks to health and simple remediation measures can be taken to reduce these.
"The HPA recommends that people in homes where radon levels have been recorded between the two figures should think carefully about preventative action to protect their health.
"Together with our previous recommendations to Government on the inclusion of basic radon protective measures in all new buildings, the new advice is an appropriate practical response based on good scientific evidence of the risks of lung cancer from radon exposure."
The HPA has recommended that the new level should be applied to all schools and any other building where people spend more than 2,000 hours per year.
Homeowners should check radon levels in their area and if they live in a high radon area they should consider testing for the gas in their home, the HPA said.
Radon detectors are available from the HPA and readings should be taken over three months.
Maps which give the proportion of homes in each region likely to fall into the higher category of radon concentrations are available at www.ukradon.org

FRESNO, Calif. — A former Fresno-area resident who posed as a pastor and masterminded several lucrative fraud schemes was sentenced Monday to three years in prison on charges stemming from a probe by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Kwan Yong Choi, 72, of Fresno, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Anthony W. Ishii. In addition to the prison term, Choi was also ordered to pay $2.1 million in restitution to 13 victims of his investment fraud scheme here in the U.S.
Choi was arrested in Fresno in 2006 based on an extradition order from the Republic of Korea for a fraud scheme he had perpetrated there. Choi waived extradition and was returned to Korea later that year, where he served four years in prison for fraud, marriage fraud and visa fraud. On May 27, 2010, a federal grand jury in Fresno returned a six-count indictment against Choi charging him with money laundering related to a fraud scheme that targeted elderly Korean nationals living in the U.S. Federal agents escorted Choi back to Fresno after he finished serving his sentence in South Korea.
"The reality that this fraudster faces a lengthy term in federal prison should provide a measure of consolation for the defendant's victims, some of whom lost their life saving as a result of his scams," said Nick Annan, acting special agent in charge for Homeland Security Investigations San Francisco. "Today's sentencing is particularly gratifying, given that it's the culmination of seven years of intensive investigation carried out on two continents."
According to court documents, in 2002, Choi, formerly of Daejeon City, South Korea, began marketing an investment scheme whereby investors could invest money into his company, Sun Min Trading Inc. Choi told investors the company bought souvenirs and sold them to the White House. He claimed the venture would make 30 percent profit with 10 percent going to a purported charity named "International Christian Mission Center," and 20 percent going to investors every quarter. He specifically targeted persons of Korean descent and marketed investment opportunities to potential clients in California and elsewhere by making various false representations, including that the "International Christian Mission Center" was an extension of the CIA, that he was an ordained minister, that he had a history of investment successes, and that the investments were secure.
Instead of investing the money as promised, Choi spent the funds on his own personal and business expenses, including payments for homes, cars and credit card bills. Choi lulled investors into thinking their investments were making a return by sending false account statements, sending payments, or giving excuses as to why payments were delayed. As a result of the scheme, investors lost more than $2 million.
This case was the product of a probe by Fresno HSI. Fresno-based HSI special agents received substantial assistance from HSI's attaché office in Seoul as well as from the Republic of Korea's Ministry of Justice. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mark E. Cullers and Heather M. Jones prosecuted the case.

The IUCN Red List is the most authoritative global compilation of the conservation status of species, based on the best available knowledge from the world's leading experts. It is widely used to inform and influence biodiversity conservation, as well as policy decisions that involve human activities, development and business.
IUCN is continually working to expand the coverage of the Red List and increase general understanding and use of its data. This requires increasing the number of expert scientists around the world who can assess species for inclusion on the Red List.
The IUCN-Shell collaborative partnership agreement has helped support this since late 2010, through funding of specific activities and knowledge sharing aimed at increasing capacity to train Red List Assessors. The partnership is additionally supporting the development of training for the business sector as a user of Red List data.
The work also aims to build IUCN's capacity as a leader in biodiversity knowledge and training, as well as reinforce the IUCN Red List as the most comprehensive source of biodiversity data and a tool for objective monitoring.
Areas of work:
The Red List training work is also being funded by the MAVA Foundation.

Under orders
Discretion inhibits me from disclosing the architects present at the most outrageous charity auction held so far this year, at the Chelsea Arts Club. For several days before the Valentine Night event, hand-painted knickers by prominent artist and designer members of the club (like Peter Blake) were on view in display cabinets. On the big night, they were worn by professional models parading on a temporary catwalk in the bar, and attracted a mass audience which paid more than £15,000 (going to artist benevolent bodies) for the items in questions. One witty knicker caption read 'may contain nuts'; the auction title for artist Sandra Blow's effort is not suitable for repetition in a family magazine.
But the event should surely prompt thoughts at Portland Place as to how the Architects' Benevolent Society Ball might be revived. . .

20 Cheapest Financial Dividend Stocks 0 comments
Dividend stocks from the financial sector with very low forward P/E ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Dividends are great not only because you get cash in your pockets. It's also a symbol for the ability of a company to share its profits with the shareholder of the company.
Dividends are good but they are better when the company is cheap priced. This month, I started a screen serial of the cheapest stocks from several sectors. Today, I observe financial stocks with a large market capitalization (over USD 10 billion) and a positive dividend yield.
The top 20 results are valuated between 6.9 and 9.6 of the expected earnings. Despite the financial recovery of the crises, nearly all of the results have an expected five year earnings growth close to the 10 percent ratio.
Two of the results have a high yield and 18 current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.
Here is the full table with some fundamentals:
20 Cheapest Financial Dividend Stocks....
Take a closer look at the full list. The average P/E ratio amounts to 20.03 and forward P/E ratio is 8.40. The dividend yield has a value of 2.84 percent. Price to book ratio is 1.11 and price to sales ratio 2.12. The operating margin amounts to 16.10 percent and the beta ratio is 1.88. Stocks from the list have an average debt to equity ratio of 4.69.

Police say a Reno man is facing felony drunken driving and hit-and-run charges after allegedly striking a 14-year-old girl in a pedestrian crosswalk.
The accident happened around 5:30 Friday night at California Avenue and Newland Circle.
Investigators said two other motorists had stopped for the girl and she was crossing the street when she was struck by a 2006 Chevrolet Yukon driven by 59-year-old Richard Havens.
Witnesses told police that the vehicle then swerved around the girl as she lay injured and fled the scene.
Havens was arrested at his home a short time later.
Police say the girl suffered serious head injuries and is being treated at a local hospital.

Respond to Review of Peace Harmony - Erskine St
by Chewbecca
Review: I've never been one for fake meat and tofu type dishes, so when I saw that Peace Harmony was very fake meat oriented, I was a little disappointed... Until I actually tried the dishes. WOW! The satay soy skewers are to absolutely die for - even my non veg friends were impressed and thought they tasted exactly like meat. Also tried the 'duck' curry -- very good too. The one downside were the vegetarian buns, which didn't seem to be cooked through properly.

Organizational Culture: Its Importance in Performance Measurement
Grifel, Stuart S., Public Management
Local governments define the success of their performance measurement systems in different ways. For some local governments, success means developing a few measures and reporting them annually within the budget. For other local governments, success means that performance measurement is an integral part of the organization's management and budgetary decision-making systems.
Uses of the Data
There are three levels of uses for performance measurement data. The first level, accountability reporting by the local government to the public that it serves, is an important use of such data. Recent literature, however, recognizes the fact that merely collecting and reporting data is not enough, and that a system's value over time will be defined in terms of management and improvement of operations, the second level.
A performance measurement system can generate a great deal of information, but to justify its cost, the information must be used. Collecting and reporting alone become a meaningless exercise over time, with the result that the measurement system eventually falls into disuse and fades away. The difficulty that many local governments face is not in developing appropriate and reliable program performance measures but in integrating them into the management and operational decision-making systems of the organization.
Level three, using measurement data for budgetary decision making and allocation of resources, is especially difficult Few jurisdictions have been able to make this linkage successfully. Often, they have used performance measurement data to manage resources at the program level and for financial reporting, but not to exert a substantial influence on the allocation of resources. It is not easy to design systems that appropriately link the measurable goals and objectives of programs with their results and then link the results to budgeting and financial reporting.
Performance measurement should be used as a management tool before the attempt is made to use it as a budgeting or evaluation tool. Management should be comfortable with using performance measurement to augment the normal decision-making process before using it for other purposes.
Organizational Change
Implementing a performance measurement system means change for an organization. The change can be as limited as merely presenting data annually in the budget document or as pervasive as affecting every aspect of an organization's management, budget, and reward system.
Moving beyond a system that reports measurement data only for accountability purposes calls for an organizational environment that accepts change. For change to occur in an organization, managers must create or seek favorable conditions for it. Creating this climate will require that the organization first build an awareness that change is needed and then gain the support of the people who must implement and cooperate with the change.
A System to Fit the Local Government Situation
Government managers need to assess all aspects of their local situation that may affect the success of a performance measurement system. Performance measurement and other improvement approaches develop differently in different communities, depending on the conditions and problems in the community, the level of interest of its elected officials and managers, the abilities of the staff, and the resources available for improvements (Epstein 1984).
What works, for example, in Sunnyvale, California, with a history steeped in information technology, may not work in your organization's environment. Managers will need to assess their own local situations and tailor systems that will allow them some level of success. If you take the time to assess your local circumstances, you can develop strategies to minimize organizational weaknesses and maximize organizational strengths.
Building a successful system is an incremental and long-term process. …

Passing, Rushing, and Receiving Stats Back to 1977
Today I'm happy to announce a major addition to College Football at Sports-Reference.com. We now have passing, rushing, and receiving stats for all FBS (nee Division I-A) schools dating back to the 1977 season, and for schools from prominent conferences (ACC, Big 8/Big 7, Big Ten, Pac-12/Pac-10/Pac-8/AAWU/PCC, SEC, and SWC) we have passing, rushing, and receiving stats dating back to the 1956 season.
For more information about our data coverage, please see this summary. And if you have any questions or comments regarding these changes, please let us know.

Best NBA Scoring Duos in One Game (Mailbag)
We get asked this question a lot, and unfortunately it's not currently possible to find the answer via the Play Index, so I decided to put up a leaderboard once and for all. The most recent version of the question comes from BBR user Reggie:
I've seen references on here to games where two teammates scored 40 or more in the same game. But which teammates combined to score the most points in any game? [...]
One game that I remember very well as a Mavericks fan, which is often overlooked, was the overtime game they won at Chicago on November 13, 1994. That was the game where Jamal Mashburn hit for 50 and Jim Jackson went for 38, the two scoring 88 of the 124 points that night in the four point Mavs victory.
Since we have complete box scores (1985-86), here are the 200 most potent scoring duos in a single NBA game:

Added Box Scores Back to NBA/ABA Merger
A little over a year ago we announced that we had posted copies of every box score in NBA history. However, since these box scores were scans we could not create player game logs, compute player splits, etc. As we said in that post, it is our goal to one day have all of these games in a database-friendly format.
On that note, I'm happy to announce that the work for the 1976-77 to 1979-80 seasons has been completed. Please take some time to check out the box scores, player and team game logs, and player and team splits for the 1976-77, 1977-78, 1978-79, and 1979-80 NBA seasons. Keep in mind that almost all of the scanned box scores are abbreviated (i.e., they only contain field goals, free throws, and points for the players), so there will be many missing values for each game.

My ultimate hope is this whole escapade is the extra leverage Paramount needs to convince CBS to get a series going.
As I previously said in one of these threads, we are in an era where television has surpassed film in scope, depth, and all-around quality of storytelling, and there is no Star Trek show on the airwaves. I think that's a real shame.
I think it's the perfect time to go back, and this might be just the kick in the rear TPTB needed.
I agree with what you say about the much higher quality of the production values of many TV series in recent years, but for what it's worth, I've honestly gotten to the point where I have little or no interest in a new Trek TV series, any more. At least not just any Trek TV series. A very high quality, well-funded, and well-cast attempt to bring Kirk et al back to TV might cause my eyebrow to rise.
Honestly at this point, I'd be more interested in a Trek series that aired on Showtime instead of over the air channels. I think that might allow them push things a little more.
Or like a lot of BBC series, just six or fewer episodes a season, but with a lot of effort put into each.
Still, I think it would only catch my interest if they brought the original TOS crew back to TV. I can't see myself getting invested in yet another version of Trek in yet another time and setting with yet another set of characters in maybe yet another universe.

Can I have a cabin to go with this lamp?
I've been taking a beginner woodworking class. It's also a stepping stone to being able to use the shop in the future for personal projects. That's an important detail for me. I expected to have to make a fairly easy project that everyone else would make too. If I was lucky maybe there would be two or three projects to choose from. I was surprised when, after getting the "everything is scary, you could loose a hand" talk we were told to design and build a lamp of our choosing. I went home and ranted about how that wasn't a good way to teach woodworking to beginners, but I also dug out the sketch book and made a plan. My objectives were to use as many of the power tools in the shop and to keep my design simple enough that I could get it done in the time allotted. After one class our instructor asked three questions: Did you try something new? Did you learn something? Did you have fun? I answered yes to all those questions. He said that's all that matters.
I began to truly appreciate that he prodded us to use our creativity and not simply do a cookie cutter project. I have to admit that "just do it" attitude is a bit out of my comfort zone. I needed the push. I think I did ok this time and if the final products of my classmates are any indication, I think the whole class was a success.
It's a marbleous lamp.
Someonelse said it looked like it belonged in a cabin. I agreed. Can I have the cabin now?

If you think, from the title, that this post is going to be about husbands and wives, you may want to look somewhere else. I have some opinions about that but this blog is not the place for that. This post is more about art and a change of perspective.
Years ago I met regularly with an artist friend. We would spend wonderful evenings together creating art in her studio, drinking tea and having great conversations. When I said it would be cool to be an artist, she replied that I already was one. I never quite bought into that line; I never felt I was good enough. That 'not good enough' point of view has been with me for a long time. For Christmas I was gifted a woodworking class. When that came up recently in a conversation, I was asked if I wanted to become a woodworker. My first thought was "Yes, I do." but this was one of those rare times when my brain caught that thought before it escaped from my mouth. There was a moment of silence before I answered, "No, I already am one. I just want to get better."
At that moment I realized that my attitude had changed. I saw that it had been changing for a while and apparently it had reached a tipping point. I started to think about other things I like to do. I lean pretty heavy towards the fibre arts. I hesitate to call my a fibre artist, because that brings up the discussion of art versus craft, but I am fine with claiming the role of fibre-crafter. I think it will evolve towards art in time. Then there is photography, the real motivater of this post.
I've been taking pictures for many years, for the last couple years I have been a member of a photo club. I admit that while photo club is often very inspiring, it can be quite intimidating to me. It's that 'not good enough' thing again. However when I thought about it with this changing perspective of mine I realized that I am a photographer. I'm not the best photographer, I'm not the most active photographer, shoot… I may even be an amateur amateur-photographer, but I am a photographer and some of my shots are good enough. This spring our club has been given the privilege of having a very public showing of our photos. This morning I submitted four photos to be evaluated for the show. That's not a big deal for some people, but for me it feels big. I'm not sure how I'll feel if they're exhibited, but I feel pretty good right now. Wish me luck!

I was looking through old blog posts, looking for something in particular. I didn't find it. I got sidetracked by a post I did in 2008 called "Self Portrait Mosaic". I was curious what it would look like if I did it now since Flickr pictures change and so do I. So here's the updated version of my Self Portrait Mosaic. I fudged a bit on question 12 since I no longer have a Flickr account.

Both 'Flex' and 'Flock' designs are very durable and striking print techniques.
'Flock' designs benefit from washing. However, with Flock designs it's worth noting the following:
'Flock' designs will initally pick up fluff and hair, but after a couple of washes the 'Flock' softens and any pickup should be negligible
'Flock' designs soften on each wash making them settle well onto the shirt and feel nicer to the touch.
'Flock' designs may look mottled straight from the wash. This is due to the fibres in the texture catching the light. This will disappear as the fibres settle once the shirt is worn for a short time.
Note: Digitally designed colors can be refreshed after washing by gently ironing the reverse side. Caution: do not use steam!
The designs refer to 'Digital Transfer', 'Flock' and 'Flex'. What do these mean?
These names refer to the varying print techniques used to make your SerenityHappens.com recovery gifts.
'Digital transfer' is a simple manufacturing technique. A digitally produced sheet of the design is heat-transferred to the shirt. Multi-coloured designs with all colour shades are available using this method.
'Flock' is a durable, non-fading technique. The designs are slightly elevated giving a soft, somewhat velvety texture. 'Flock' designs work best with one or two colours so the designs are more striking by their simplicity. The quality is excellent and this design technique is favoured the most for our designs.
'Flex' is a durable, flexible print technique. It gives a smooth and shiny texture and allows for more unusual colouring techniques such as metallic and reflective effects.
Our products are produced with the best techniques and are built to last.
How long will my shirt take for delivery?
Products are generally ready for shipping within 24-48 hours. Occasionally, mostly with very large orders this time can be prolonged. We cannot control the delivery times of local or international postal service or UPS but most customers receive their products within 4-5 days.
Why do the prices for certain combinations of shirt and designs vary?
Some designs are more intricate to print than others, or require metallic or special inks and so the production costs are a little higher. There are also varying styles of shirt that cost more to manufacture. We try to minimize our costs where possible, while still maintaining the quality of the designs and products.
When I place my order I see a reference to Spreadshirt. Why?
We have teamed up with Spreadshirt in order to provide you with the best quality products and service. They handle the order processing and distribution on our behalf. This enables us to concentrate on the designs and product range available.
I would like to purchase your shirts at wholesale to be sold in my shop or via my website. Who do I contact?
We have partnerships with many stores and websites that resell our products. For more information on selling our products please contact us at email@example.com
Can I send my purchase as a gift and have it gift wrapped?
Of course. During checkout you can choose to have your products gift wrapped for an additional charge of $3.99. We'll even attach a gift card with your own personal message.
I have a problem, what can I do?
If you have a problem of any kind please contact us immediately and we will work to resolve the situation to your satisfaction. You will receive a confirmation email when you place your order. This email will have contact details as well as your order number. Remember that our sobriety recovery gifts are made when you place an order so it is very important to call us before we begin production on your order.
Order confirmation not received
After submitting your order, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. This confirmation is sent within minutes after an order is placed. If you do not receive this confirmation, it is most likely due either to technical problems or an error in your e-mail address (e.g. typo). In this case, please e-mail us at email@example.com to let us know that you haven't received your order confirmation e-mail. Be sure to provide us with the full name, e-mail address and street address used in the order as well as the order date.
I have not received my order
After your order has been shipped you will receive an e-mail confirming the shipment. If – whatever the reason – you feel that your order has not been received in the proper timeframe, please contact us at email@example.com. We kindly ask that should this be the case, you let us know no later than 6 weeks after ordering.
Product Care Instructions
How do I wash my new t-shirt?
To get the most use out of your new My Twelve Steps t-shirt please use the following care and washing methods.
Wash at 30 degrees
Avoid liquid detergents
Do not tumble dry
Do not dry clean
Please wash inside out
Iron carefully
Our goal is to provide quality recovery oriented merchandise to the 12 step community

The body of a middle-aged white man was discovered by a logging crew in a wooded area behind an abandoned building on Industrial Road.
Police have not determined the man's identity nor do they know how he died.
An autopsy will be done.
"The body had been exposed to the elements for quite some time. Plus, it was in a watery environment. It's hard to describe the condition of the body," says Police Chief John Powell.
If you have any information about this case, you are asked to call Dothan Police at 615-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 793-7000.
