Hankies Galore-ious...Pink Saturday #6
It's Another Hankie Pink Saturday here at CollectInTexas Gal.
Last Saturday I shared a few Hankies from my collection.
Some as Prized Hankies for framing.
Some used in my Very Victorian Quilt.
And, Some memories that Vintage Hankies bring to mind.
My favorite Hankie Ideas, Thoughts, and Memories came from Your Comments.
~Sarah uses them as bread basket liners and cocktail napkins and has boxes of hankies that belonged to her Mother and Grandmother.
~Jil confessed to having BAGS of vintage hankies, and can't resist buying more.
~My Arts Desire Sue can't bring herself to cut into hers either.
~Beverly has a few hankies that belonged to special people in her life.
~Claudia was inspired to StartANew Collection....of Hankies.
~Peggy openly admitted to being a 'HankieHolic'.
~Lynn's the brave one who has cut and folded...only ones with holes, for pockets and to decorate pillow cases.
There's more ideas and memories if you would like to visit last Saturday's Comments.
Thank-you all for your Hankie Ideas and Comments.
Did you ever see a more beautiful Hankie arrangement for Quilt Blocks than the ones my Friend Ann created in her all Hankie Quilt? Every block is embellished with lace, beads, pearls, embroidery and more. I've selected the ones with Pink to share with you today.
Thank-you Ann for allowing me to Photograph and Share your Beautiful Hankie Quilt with my Pink Saturday Friends.
As promised, this week I've shown several more blocks from my Very Victorian Quilt. Here are three Heart Blocks. Each one is only 4 inches square, but they sure Pack ALotta Love!
I'm going to be a Texas Early MockingBird...Texas State Bird...for this Pink Saturday. Due to my High School 45th Reunion starting Friday, and a Must DisConnect of the Computer for Carpet Guys...I'll be posting on Friday. That will give some of you a head start on Saturday. Hope that works for Ya'll. Notice that I linked the Gals that made Hankie Comments? Please visit one or all of them for my Pink Saturday ShoutOut! Thanks to our Hostess Beverly at How Sweet The Sound...be sure to pop in and visit the other Pink Saturday Participants.
And As Always...Thanks for Coming and Commenting!

Miraculous Signs for Moses to Do
1Moses answered, "What if the elders of Israel won't believe me? What if they won't listen to me? Suppose they say, 'The Lord didn't appear to you.' Then what should I do?"
2The Lord said to him, "What do you have in your hand?"
"A wooden staff," he said.
3The Lord said, "Throw it on the ground."
So Moses threw it on the ground. It turned into a snake. He ran away from it. 4Then the Lord said to Moses, "Reach your hand out. Take the snake by the tail." So he reached out and grabbed hold of the snake. It turned back into a staff in his hand.
5The Lord said, "When they see this miraculous sign, they will believe that I appeared to you. I am the God of their fathers. I am the God of Abraham. I am the God of Isaac. And I am the God of Jacob."
6Then the Lord said, "Put your hand inside your coat." So Moses put his hand inside his coat. When he took it out, it was as white as snow. It was covered with a skin disease.
7"Now put it back into your coat," the Lord said. So Moses put his hand back into his coat. When he took it out, the skin was healthy again. His hand was like the rest of his skin.
8Then the Lord said, "Suppose they do not believe you or pay attention to the first miracle. Then maybe they will believe the second one.
9"But suppose they do not believe either miracle. Suppose they will not listen to you. Then get some water from the Nile River. Pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will turn to blood on the ground."
10Moses spoke to the Lord. He said, "Lord, I've never been a good speaker. And I haven't gotten any better since you spoke to me. I don't speak very well at all."
11The Lord said to him, "Who makes a man able to talk? Who makes him unable to hear or speak? Who makes him able to see? Who makes him blind? It is I, the Lord. 12Now go. I will help you speak. I will teach you what to say."
13But Moses said, "Lord, please send someone else to do it."
14Then the Lord's anger burned against Moses. He said, "What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you. He will be glad to see you. 15Speak to him. Put your words in his mouth. Tell him what to say. I will help both of you speak. I will teach you what to do. 16He will speak to the people for you. He will be like your mouth. And you will be like God to him.
17"But take this wooden staff in your hand. You will be able to do miraculous signs with it."
Moses Returns to Egypt
18Then Moses went back to his father-in-law Jethro. He said to him, "Let me go back to my own people in Egypt. I want to see if any of them are still alive."
Jethro said, "Go. I hope everything goes well with you."
19The Lord had said to Moses in Midian, "Go back to Egypt. All of the men who wanted to kill you are dead."
20So Moses got his wife and sons. He put them on a donkey. Together they started back to Egypt. And he took the wooden staff in his hand. It was the staff God would use in a powerful way.
21The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, "When you return to Egypt, do all of the miracles I have given you the power to do. Do them in the sight of Pharaoh. But I will make his heart stubborn. He will not let the people go.
22"Then say to Pharaoh, 'The Lord says, "Israel is like an oldest son to me. 23I told you, 'Let my son go. Then he will be able to worship me.' But you refused to let him go. So I will kill your oldest son." ' "
24On the way to Egypt, Moses stopped for the night. There the Lord met him and was about to kill him.
25But Zipporah got a knife that was made out of hard stone. She circumcised her son with it. Then she touched Moses' feet with the skin she had cut off. "You are a husband who has forced me to spill my son's blood," she said. 26So the Lord didn't kill Moses. When she said "husband who has forced me to spill my son's blood," she was talking about circumcision.
27The Lord said to Aaron, "Go into the desert to see Moses." So he greeted Moses at the mountain of God and kissed him.
28Then Moses told Aaron everything the Lord had sent him to say. He also told him about all of the miraculous signs he had commanded him to do.
29Moses and Aaron gathered all of the elders of Israel together. 30Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He also did the miracles in the sight of the people.
31And they believed. They heard that the Lord was concerned about them. He had seen their suffering. So they bowed down and worshiped him.

Series Is from Award-winning Creator of "Luther," Neil Cross, and Acclaimed Film Producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald ("Gladiator," "Men in Black," "The Ring")
NEW YORK CITY -- May 14, 2012 -- From the award-winning creator of "Luther," Neil Cross, and successful producing team of Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald ("Gladiator," "Men in Black," "The Ring") comes an extraordinary action-adventure series "Crossbones" -- with an unexpected moral center where one can't be sure whether the pirates or the British crown are the villains.
Ten episodes of "Crossbones" have been ordered and production will begin in the fall.
The announcement was made today by Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment.
It's 1715 on the Bahamian island of New Providence, the first functioning democracy in the Americas, where the diabolical pirate Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard, reigns over a rogue nation of thieves, outlaws and miscreant sailors. Part shantytown, part marauder's paradise, this is a place like no other on earth - and a mounting threat to international commerce.
To gain control of this fearsome society, Tom Lowe, a highly skilled undercover assassin, is sent to the pirates' haven to take down the brilliant and charismatic Blackbeard. But the closer Lowe gets, the more he finds that his quest is not so simple. Lowe can't help but admire the political ideals of Blackbeard, whose thirst for knowledge knows no bounds - and no law. But Lowe is not the only danger to Blackbeard's rule. He is a man with many villainous rivals and one great weakness - a passionately driven woman whom he cannot deny.
Parkes and MacDonald serve as executive producers. Cross will write and also executive-produce the series. Ted Gold ("Three Rivers") also is an executive producer. The series will be produced by Parkes/MacDonald Productions; Georgeville Television (GVTV), Reliance Entertainment/Motion Picture Capital's new TV Studio; and Universal Television.

BA(hons)Architecture//Part I//Year 2
The Brief
Shadwell Basin formed the eastern entry to London Docks and will be the location for the project. Unlike most of the London Docks, Shadwell Basin was not infilled and today is a popular site for recreation. An Outdoor Activity Centre is located at the Pierhead and a former pumping station has been converted into The Wapping Project - an arts venue and restaurant. Joggers, cyclists, walkers and anglers make regular use of the site,which now forms an important part of the Thames Path. Expensive housing dominates the immediate area,however Tower Hamlets remained one of London's most deprived boroughs and this extreme economic inequality provides an important context for the project.
The site for the project is located on a peninsula jutting into the basin. Nearby are a number of important social 'institutions', or 'condensers' that bring people from disparate locations and social classes together.
The task is to develop a proposal for a building and landscape to be located on the peninsula and:
[A] be used as a training and media centre for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic canoeing and kayaking
teams, and:
[B] have a legacy after the events of 2012
a place for eating and drinking and media interviews
a small auditorium/ press room with approx 50 seats
changing facilites
a space where exhibitions about Olympic/ Paralympic history and activities can be staged
flexible workspace which can be used to service, maintain and store equipement including canoes

I already knew how to do this though :P
Really informative tutorial though!
Pick up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people, people he cares about, are counting on him.
This tutorial will teach you how to create amazing screen effects for half life 2 by utalizing colour correction
Posted by True_Life on Jul 12th, 2009
Intermediate Mapping/Technical.
Colour correction is used to adjust the colour of the game environment by altering the colour balance, curves and levels just like you would on a normal image editing program (For example: photoshop) the same basic principle applies here
Step 1: Create a new colour correction entity: call it correction
Step 2: Set the "Lookup Falloff Start Distance" and the "Lookup Falloff End Distance" to -1 these control the distance from the entity in which the colour correction is visible. For example, if you set the End Distance to 300. Then the colour correction will de-activate if you move 300 units away from the entity in the game. [-1 sets it so the colour correction i visible everywhere]
Step 3: Now compile your map: (make sure you have correction enabled in the video options)
Step 4: Open the developer console and enter "colourcorrectionui" (without the speech marks)
Step 5: A new window will then open make sure that the box that says "Enabled" is ticked, then select "resume game" from the main menu
Step 6: This is the part that will determin the colour: On the correction window select new and choose from: Curves, Levels or HSV
Step 7: adjust the curves/levels/HSV to your desired effect. If you are editing HSV make sure that it selects all. For more info on altering the levels have a look here: Developer.valvesoftware.com
Step 8:Once you have adjusted the settings to get the effect you want: press save
Make Sure you save it to this location
Step 9: Now quit the game and go back to the hammer editor and create a "logic_auto" and in the outputs section create a new output "ONMAPSPAWN > CORRECTION > ENABLE"
Step 10: finally go back the the colour correction entity and in the section that says "Lookup table filename" type in "correction.raw" or whatever you saved you .raw file as (without speech marks)
Step 11: now whenever you run your map the colour correction should automatically enable
If you are experiencing Problems then make sure that you have done all of the following, As these are common mistakes people make that result in the colour correction not working.
- Make Sure you INCLUDE the .RAW extension in the editor "lookup table filename"
- Have you Set the start & end distance to -1? this makes sure it is visible everywhere as mention at the start of the tutorial
- Have you saved in the Correct Location? By default the save location is different from the location the .RAW file needs to be in.
- Spaces? Make sure you have NO spaces in the .RAW file name.
- Spelling? The lookup table filename must be EXACTLY the same as the file name.
- American? Hammer editor uses the American spelling of the word "color" as you can see I have been using the British (The Correct Way) way of spelling "colour". This is the English Language, So please treat it with some respect.
If you STILL can't get this to work then just drop me a message at the end of this tutorial explaning the problem
Thankyou, Happy Modding
I already knew how to do this though :P
Really informative tutorial though!
Nice and simple tutorial, very interesting for good ambiance in the maps.
Nice, should be helpful
Awesome I love you long time.
Always wanted to know how to do this correctly thanks a heap mate.
Great will come in handy
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Whomever was assigned to construct this tutorial did an outstanding job!It's condensed ,comprehensive and very easy to follow.All tutorials
should be this easy to understand and use.
Wow nice one. This will help me out a lot thanks mate
Good tutorial! If I use color correction in a map, I'll put your name in the credits :D

I would recommend that you wait until you get to Bali before renting.
I recently hired a car for 10 days from a small crowd in Legian and paid 125,000rp/day (=$14USD) for a Suzuki Avanza(and a small bit extra for the insurance, but I forget how much that was). There asking price was much higher but I got it discounted after a bit of negotiation. Same applied for an older Suzuki Jimney that I hired for 90,000rp/day (=$10USD) two years ago.
I would wait til you get there and check out some of the other options on offer locally. You can still go to the office of the guys on the website as well, of course. But you will definitely get a better deal as a walk-in rather than pre-booking.

Fridge: Legacy of the Force
- Fridge Brilliance: Why does Jacen become so out of character compared to his past self? Because the Light Side is associated with reason, control, and compassion to channel the Force. The Dark Side is associated with emotion and release of control. As Jacen leans towards the Dark Side, he thinks less clearly and becomes more impulsive due to the resulting lack of self-restraint.
- This is shown in both subtle and overt ways. He muses that he prefers the company of droids because they lack independent motivation, and dislikes aliens because he finds it hard to to read their facial expressions. Also, like most Dark Siders, he becomes very self-absorbed and loses the ability to examine the universe from other people's points of view. This culminates in a Vader-like breakdown where he kills a loyal officer who failed him on the bridge of his ship in front of other crew members.
- Luke considered his childhood on Tatooine to be incredibly boring, while Mara was raised from an early age to be an assassin and espionage agent. Thus Mara probably figured that Ben's "internship" with Jacen in the Galactic Alliance Guard was pretty normal and Luke just figured his son was getting a more interesting childhood than he himself had. Hence the amount of time it took them to figure out that the whole thing might not have been the best idea.
- The Jedi, the Alliance government and the military might have thought that Daala would be an ideal "peacetime president" since, despite what Invincible would lead readers to believe, she has historically been a General Failure and most of her military campaigns have ended in crushing defeat for her side. Thus they imagined she had little potential to successfully start any serious wars that would not flame out pretty quickly.
- There's also the fact that, to the greater galaxy, it has been decades since the last time that Daala threatened the galaxy. Since then, there's been the Yuuzhan Vong invasion steamrolling the New Republic, the crisis with the Killiks and the Chiss, and a civil war that landed a Sith Lord in the office of the Chief of State. Daala's activities against the New Republic happened long enough ago as far as the general public is concerned (especially given that her attacks were very localized, more against singular planets, Mon Calamari, Khomn, and Yavin 4, than the New Republic as a whole), that she is the lesser of various evils after a whole host of really crappy options leading up to her election.
- Fridge Horror: For a good chunk of the mid-New Jedi Order Warmaster Tsavong Lah was trying to arrange for Jacen and Jaina to fight to the death as part of the Yuuzhan Vong's ritually mandated Twin Sacrifice. In LOTF, the Vong ritual doesn't happen, but the twin duel to the death sure does. At the end of Invincible, Jaina wonders if Jacen didn't really win after all, but in at least one sense the real villain who won LOTF from beyond the grave was Tsavong Lah.

Enter Your Zip Code to Connect with a Lawyer Serving Your Area
If you have no success reaching a settlement with an insurance company, you may be forced to consider bringing a lawsuit in small claims or other court. But you must be aware of the laws, called "statutes of limitations," that limit the time in which you have to file. If you miss your state's deadline, you will lose your right to recover compensation in court, and will be forced to abandon your claim altogether.
Check your state's laws to find the time limit that applies to your case. You can find a list of the statutes of limitations for all 50 states in the article Statutes of Limitations: Is It Too Late to Sue?

I have recently come into possession of a bicycle that I cannot find any info about on the internet. There are no decal or paint markings. The only identification is the name alward in script on the seat stays near the seatpost lug. The bike is obviously high end having a mix of Campy, Dura-ace and Superbe components. The lugwork is fancy and chromed as are the fork crown and even the wire guides under the bottom bracket. Judging from the components (which include Mafac cantilevers and a Campy triple crank with 144 bcd) it appears to be early to mid '80's and may be a custom made touring bike.
If any one has heard of this builder (assuming that alward is the builder) I would appreciate hearing from you.

Narrow your search
If you're looking for a decent in-dash GPS navigation system that can support digital audio and video, then the Kenwood DDX8019 could be the product for you. If GPS navigation isn't your first priority, however, there are more user-friendly media players on the market.
Pricing not available
The guys over at Sound Man are back at it again with a second in-dash iPad installation that is both removable and utilizes the vehicle's current stereo.
The Kenwood DDX8019 supports a wide range of media, including USB digital audio and DivX video. An add-on Garmin module provides GPS navigation that is a pleasure to use.
Kenwood releases the Excelon DDX8019
We've got pictures of a hot adaptation of 'Dance Dance Revolution', photos of the sleek and shiny Nokia N76, and shots of the HTC Touch, a potential rival to the iPhone.
The e-business software seller has agreed to purchase the XML software company for about $24 million in cash.
Amazon.com has tapped eXcelon to help speed up the information buyers and sellers exchange for its "marketplace business," the companies said Tuesday. eXcelon is providing the software to enable real-time updates of inventory availability so that a buyer has better information on what a seller has in stock. Amazon's marketplace enables individuals and companies to sell used goods right next to the new goods Amazon sells. The software will reduce Amazon's costs because it can be used on Amazon's HP Linux servers, eXcelon said.
The integration software specialist plans on Monday to announce a partnership with iWay Software that it hopes will boost its standing in the integration software niche.

Members Wanted: The Real Reason to come to the Communities Conference
For more than 30 years Twin Oaks has been organizing a communities conference, which this year is over the Labor Day weekend. We have a great organizing team, there is an excellent program, great workshops, and the whole thing is reasonably priced. But the reason to go this year is the opportunities.
By my count there are over half a dozen communities coming to this year's event which are seriously looking for new members. No long waiting lists, new possibilities right now. You could come to this year's event and have your life changed forever to a future in community.
Quercus is Latin for Oak (following the theme of Twin Oaks => Acorn => Sapling.) It is also the name of a newly forming (move in October 1st) permaculture-based urban homestead near the center of Richmond, VA. Quercus is a community based in social justice activism and ecological conservation. It is also income sharing and aspires to be a full member of the Federation of Egalitarian Communities. This house is designed to be a radical space for public presentations, workshops, and performances. Four fantastic folks are already together and they are looking for a few more pioneers.
Karass is small community and bed & breakfast in Chester, Vermont (1 1/4 hours north of Northampton MA) and is currently searching for 3(ish) pioneering members. It is a sprawling 10 bedroom, 9 bathroom house with 6 guest rooms (the inn) and 4 member rooms (the community), with an additional 3 large common areas and other interesting spaces both inside and out. They believe in hospitality, community, sustainability, resource sharing, and egalitarianism. Their membership application gives insight into their values and expectations. Karass is running volunteer work weeks in late September, culminating in a party on September 26 to celebrate the progress they've made so far. A number of Oakers and Acorners are going up to help out with the final renovations of this new project. If you are interested contact me at email@example.com, or Angie (one of the pioneering members) at email@example.com.
The Fae: Founded by members of Acorn community, The Fae is a collective house on Staten Island in NYC with big aspirations, including developing plant based soil and environmental remediation techniques. As reported, "Roommate wanted: Must love activism, balloon art, and cats." The Fae hopes to become an FEC community where communards from other places can stay and get involved and do art internships.
Groundswell Institute is a new community two hours north of San Francisco and founded by radical queer friends of ours, some of whom are ex-Oakers. Groundswell is interested in growing to about 15 people in the next year from the handful they have now. When I asked what type of people they were searching for, there was a short but comprehensive consultation amongst the members present. "Non-heteronormative" was the response.
The physical plant of Groundswell is impressive. It is an ecovillage on over 180 acres of land (with all human activity concentrated on 40 acres.) It is a former campsite which can sleep 80 people indoors in cabins. It has a full sized institutional kitchen, pond, amphitheater, dance hall, and some amazing trees.
I don't actually know why they are an Institute and I am not 100% sure a representative will be at the Comm Conf to present them, but they are new and growing and important and a number of people at the conference have visited there and can talk about them.
Cambia Community is a new family-friendly, egalitarian community in Louisa County with a focus on permaculture and home school education. They have purchased 15 mostly wooded acres and a small house in rural Louisa, VA and are seeking to create a community of 10-30 people with a high level of sharing and connection. They're looking for people with prior community experience and skills in farming and gardening in this climate and business planning, people who value and uphold some mindfulness practices, no drug or alcohol abuse or overuse, and possibly families. Unusually insightful into the culture of this forming community is the section on their blog which talks about what they are not.
Point A Washington DC has an income sharing group, space scouts who are looking intensely for suitable living locations (and clearly have big imaginations because they have found some amazing possibilities), and a growing cohesive culture. If you are looking for income sharing communes inside the big city, this might just be your best bet. This project is daring, ambitious and engaged – not for the faint of heart.
The Baltimore Free Farm is one of the most ambitious projects I have ever seen. It does food recovery in conjunction with Food Not Bombs and their own dumpster diving efforts. BFF also runs amazing events and concerts in their warehouse space.
Living Energy Farm is a dark green ecovillage also in Louisa county and they are looking for members. Living Energy Farm is another ambitious and challenging project, of a different sort. Essentially their aim is to prepare for a post-petroleum world while it can still be done relatively comfortably. However they are using a prefigurative approach in which they model the practices which will be used in the resource-scarce future. This means lots of things by hands, living closer to the seasons and nightfall, and thinking about how to reduce one's impact seriously.
So if you are looking for community, these are just the opportunities that i am aware of that are coming. If you know more, please feel encouraged to add them in the comment section here.

East Greets West: A tale of two conferences
I do like the phone. Most recently i have been calling communities about coming to the Twin Oaks Communities Conference this Labor Day weekend. It is early enough in the year that we get to brainstorm all manner of possibilities. What workshops they might do in the open space technology section? Who they might be able to bring with them? What kinds of ride sharing is possible? Labor Day is far enough away that people don't have things scheduled and are willing to consider this, especially the highest ranked communities which i am calling, many of whom are predisposed to coming out again or checking it out.
The Twin Oaks Communities Conference runs a bit like a well oiled machine. We have been literally doing it for decades. We have notebooks which reminds us when to do everything and google drive docs which chronicle many previous schemes and name all the tasks and past volunteers who have made this complex event happen. This year we are putting out the call for presenters quite early. This is not to say that the Communities Conference doesn't need good organizers. Despite being well understood, there is always something which tests us in putting it on. Transformative movements can't be content to keep doing what they already do well, we need to expand and touch the lives of more people. And so i was extremely happy when the fine folks at Groundswell Institute agreed to host the West Coast Communities Conference.
Groundswell is a new community, two hours north of San Francisco and founded by radical queer friends of ours, some of whom are ex-Oakers. Groundswell is interested in growing to about 15 people in the next year from the handful they have now. When i asked what type of people they were searching for, there was a short but comprehensive consultation amongst the members present. "Non-heteronormative" was the response (more on this soon).
The physical plant of Groundswell in impressive. It is an ecovillage on over 180 acres of land (with all human activity concentrated on 40 acres). It is a former campsite which can sleep 80 people indoors in cabins. It has a full sized institutional kitchen, pond, amphitheater, dance hall and some amazing trees.
How amazing you ask? Well if you read this blog you know my dear friend Shal is very into trees. We climb them regularly. Shal and i visited Groundswell together last year. When we were on our way, Shal was concerned that this visit to my friends would delay our visiting the big trees of California that he had heard so much about. He was not expecting to be impressed with the trees at Groundswell. We arrived there at night, and after being welcomed with conversation and good food, made our way in the dark to one of the many cozy cabins.
In the morning when Shal came out of the cabin to go to the main house, he stopped in his tracks as he saw the view and the trees. Fortunately breakfast was going to be available for a while, so he could afford to give in to the powerful urge to gaze at the amazing view of Groundswell and the valley and hills beyond. And he saw beautiful trees! They were more human scale than the giant redwoods, but the closest one was magnificent, reaching out as well as up, with big mossy branches at chest level, easy to touch and climb on, which he did. And when he moved on to the main house for breakfast, he found that also had a very impressive view.
Later Kyle took us on a tour of Groundswell, and Shal spent much of the time looking at the views and trees, including spending some time at the Grandfather tree at the top of the hill, from which there is a grand full circle view of the beautiful hills valleys and hills surrounding Groundswell.
Groundswell has put out the call for presenters to this event. There will be Open Space Technology at WCCC, just like there is at Twin Oaks Communities Conference, which is an appropriate place for content which might be your expertise, but is not specifically related to community life (permaculture, renewable energy, anti-oppression work, polyamory workshops, etc). Topics appropriate for scheduled portion of the program are listed below, as distinct from the Open Space section. There will also be a number of workshops on topics directly related to community living which will be presented. There is a list of these topics below. Think about your west Coast and especially Bay Area friends and let them know this is happening. Tickets (including one day passes) are available here.
Call for Presenters Living as Community: West Coast Communities Conference, October 9 – 12, 2015, Groundswell Community & Institute, Yorkville, CA (2 hours north of bay area)
Groundswell, an emerging ecovillage and retreat center, is proud to announce a new West Coast Communities Conference. Organized with sponsorship from the Fellowship for Intentional Communities (FIC) and the Federation of Egalitarian Communes (FEC), the main goal of this conference is to provide opportunities for networking and skill building for people involved with the communities movement. Those who already have experience with community will be able to share and increase their skills, while those who may be new to the movement will learn a wide range of models and practices that others have used in starting and sustaining successful communities. We are hoping to have a wide range of community movers and shakers to present workshops, dialogues, and demonstrations. Anyone with interest or experience in worker cooperatives, rural communes, artist collectives, or any other kind of communal enterprise is invited to participate. We encourage people to be creative in the matter and manner of these presentations and ask only that they hold some relation to intentional community. Some possible topics include (but aren't limited to):
- different approaches to creating communities
- membership and financing
- sustainable building and living practices
- social and organizational skills
- decision-making, consensus, and practices of inclusivity
- diverse communities and diversity within communities
- communications and group process
- conflict resolution
- resource management
- models and sources for community building
- visions and charters
In addition, the organizing team is still looking for help with logistics both before and during the conference. If you are interested in being involved in that way, please don't hesitate to be in touch. To propose a presentation, get involved in other ways, or for more information, please contact:
Kevin "Faire" Faircloth, Project Coordinator, email@example.com 714-342-0809
Kyle is organizing the Meet the Communities" so if you are in part of a place based community which wants to present please contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com
Special Communities Salon: On Saturday of the conference, representatives of different communities will have the opportunity to introduce themselves through short presentations to the attendees. In addition, communities are invited to bring tabletop displays to help show off their home. This is a great opportunity for communities to meet potential new members and vice versa. Please contact assistant organizer Faire at email@example.com
Momentarily Viral – Don't read the Comments
I wrote yesterday about the recent Yahoo Parenting article about the community. Turns out this piece had over 3 million hits in the first 24 hours. This generated so much traffic to the Twinoaks.org website that our web host server crashed. Even my blog, which is not mentioned in the article at all, got over 1000 hits in two days.
And the media contacted us also. We got three requests from conventional news sources (including my first ever request for an exclusive) and two excited reality show producers. We have considered working with Reality TV as an income engine for new community start ups and i floated it by the Point A DC folks, who rejected it overwhelmingly. This did not stop there being animated discussion about the possibility at Acorn last night at dinner. The chances we will be able to work with reality TV are vanishingly small.
There were over 500 comments to the Yahoo article. There were quite a few positive ones, some from people who had lived in community which worked for them or they appreciated, some from folks who had visited us at some point and felt the need to dispel the false statements which were being made. But perhaps half the comments on this Yahoo article were negative or critical. They came in a few flavors:
Communism is Bad: My favorite of this ilk was "Why hasn't someone called the National Guard to rid us of these communists?" Unlike past articles i have read, there were not any direct "Go back to Russia!" suggestions. Many came from Libertarians who feel a need to attack anything which does not look like their version of free market capitalism. There was our personal chapter of the endless Tea Party debates in which all ills are blamed on Obama and each of the two main political parties are attacked for the Democrats being Communists and the Republicans (in the long run) being anarchists. News flash folks, there are two pro-business parties in the US. Look at who funds their campaigns. There are also a whole slew of comments contenting that we 1) Don't pay taxes. In fact we are the second largest tax payer in the county. 2) Are on Food Stamps and Welfare. In fact none of the membership uses these government assistance programs.
Polyamory is wrong: There was the expected amount of slut shaming and name calling. I should not have been surprised at the frequently expressed concern that pedophiles would have easy access to our kids, when in fact the opposite is the case. There were a refreshing number of people who felt like this was an acceptable choice, only not right for them personally. For many critics this simply feed their notion of moral decay on the commune. There was a prevalent opinion that this reflected an easy way to have lots of sex partners, when actually the form of polyamory most often practiced in the communities requires lots of discussion, negotiations and process.
This can never work: Despite the article mentioning that we had been around for nearly 50 years, there were a surprising number of comments predicting our imminent demise or our failure in the long term. I chalk this up to people not wanting the story to be true, so they lash out against it in ways that don't make much sense. Because the article was focused on parenting and not pension, there were many comments about what happens when people reach retirement age. In fact our pension program is far more robust than the default one in the mainstream.
Applying for Pregnancy !?!?! It is true this is very odd and i totally get why this flips people out. And when you read why we do it, it will make a whole lot more sense to you. This linked article also has the bonus section that it includes the only (to my knowledge) exhaustive list of Twin Oaks prohibitions.
Eeww you have Lice!: Apparently, only the community suffers from lice. Every couple of years we have a lice outbreak. We fight some, internally, about the use of chemicals to push it back. We clean a ton of laundry, some people dramatically shave their heads to avoid having to treat or retreat. Frankly, they are more psychologically problematic than actually physically problematic, but try telling that to someone who is freaking out.
While i had a good time going thru the comments and correcting people misconceptions and laughing about the haters, i counseled everyone who was actually in the article not to read the comments. They don't yet show the thoughtful dialog we would hope to find on the digital pages of the internet.
What the article did not mention is that:
1) Twin Oaks has had a waiting list for more than 7 years now. So if you are in a rush to find a new place, we are a poor choice.
2) It is far harder for families to become members than individuals. In the last 10 years there has only been three families accepted (and perhaps a dozen who have tried to come). The visitor period is longer, the waiting list is tougher and every member of the family must be accepted or none of them can come.
The other way to avoid the last shuttle
Fortunately for our insurance rates, a disproportionate number of adult communards choose not to drive. This does put pressure on those of us who do drive, to ferry our comrades around. My dual member status allows me access to both the Acorn and Twin Oaks vehicle fleets, so i am often asked to drive, and i am generally happy to to oblige.
Sporadically, Twin Oaks throws a "No Party, Just Dance" event. Typically what this means is that the organizers don't want to have to prepare treats or decorate the space and instead want to focus on just having a DJ who provides music and people can rock out. The other slightly curious aspect of these events is that they have very minimal internal promotion. Usually this is limited to a single card posted at the main dining hall. But this micro-promotion does not prevent these events from being well attended.
Last night i drove the shuttle for one these events. Half a dozen Acorners and LEFers (plus one dog) hopped into the minivan and we arrived moments before the party was really hoping. A couple of hours into this event i decided it was time to ask the going home question:
If there were a shuttle in 20 minute and another in an hour and 20 minutes, which one would you likely be on?
I went around to the folks who i had brought and asked them all this question. After two hours of rigorous dancing, they were all ready to go home in the early shuttle. This is exactly what the shuttle driver wants to hear. Assuming you can't get the last shuttle cancelled, because everyone wants to stay all night, the second best way to cancel the last shuttle is to get everyone to come home on the second to last shuttle.
StrangeFolx: Infinite Pizza
Brittany ran to me as i was walking through the Ash Street gardens of the Baltimore Free Farm. She was clearly excited to see me.
"I am so glad there is an old person here now!" was the first thing she said to me
I cracked up laughing. She explained that the party was full of 20 somethings and she thought my experience would be a grounding effect. Most people don't find me grounding, but i was still totally flattered.
Many folks say they are busy, but you make time for what is important to you. I really wanted to go to StrangeFolx, the Baltimore Free Farms anniversary celebration. I wanted to go because i had missed the protests that BFF had played an amazing supportive role in. I wanted to go because i am regularly impressed with daring, tenacity and street smarts of these punks. I wanted to go, because i wanted a big, political party that someone else had organized.
On the way to the event i stopped at a roadside stand and got a flat of strawberries. I was handing them out to the perhaps 100 people who were already at this event by 1 PM. I walked by Billy who was pumping out pizzas.
As i approached the oven, there was a metal stake sticking up in the middle of the steps which dozens of people would soon be walking. "Fix that!" i barked at Billy pointing to the offending stake, in the way busy organizers sometimes dispense with pleasantries. A nearby anarchist reminded me, "You could fix it." Billy soon put a purple cup over the stake and pronounced it fixed. Safety isn't first with this crowd, otherwise they would not be rioting with the police.
Billy suggested that i change my thinking about pizza. Moving away from the idea that it would be a point in time in which one might have pizza, to more of a continuum or infinite span of pizza. And he made quite good on his promise to deliver unending pizza. Recently toughened up by the tremendous cooking effort done to support protesters of police violence in Baltimore, the Free Farm kids prepped for this 8 hour long anniversary party of a few hundred people. GPaul asked for a vegan pizza, and in moments it was there. The advantage of these real pizza ovens is they can cook a full pizza in just a couple of minutes.
When Billy finally took a break he greeted me warmly and gave me an illegal piece of riot swag. I was touched and i looked at him curiously. "We could not have done it without your cooks. It was amazing to have all this help and we desperately needed it." When Baltimore exploded, Billy called me. He asked me to put out the call to Action: Baltimore needs cooks. So i blogged about it, copied it to few facebook pages and crossed my fingers. I got great reaction, with cooks responding to the blog post wanting to help. Many had minor logistical problems (like little money and no car). I cobbled together ride shares and other minor logistics, but folk were resourceful and wanted to get to Baltimore. In the end about a dozen cooks ended up volunteering at BFF. And i felt some pride around networking effectively.
But as though my ego were on some type of zen roller coaster, shortly after this i got schooled by Brittany on how unworkable my clever plans were to try to build coalitions with people of color (POC) activists. She was clear and firm in telling me that the internship scheme i was proposing would not fly culturally.
Instead Brittany and Billy agreed that the best thing for white allies to do these days is be consistent in providing the type of food services for protesters that BFF and Food Not Bombs have been providing. And be patient.
Barefoot, One Eye and Too Dim
NYC has changed me.
Two years ago, if i had walked out of the Richmond train station and seen three "traveler kids", i would have headed the other way. But having spent time doing support work for travelers in Tompkins Square Park has shifted my perception of this fringe group that i had not been connected to before.
I walked out of the train from Baltimore and saw these three, i had a bit of time to wait and decided that this could be fun. I got a cheap pizza and approached my new friends. They were welcoming. I sat with them where they had found an open wall socket to charge their phones with.
They introduced themselves to me as: Barefoot – who claimed she did not own a pair of shoes. One Eye – who had a fine line tattoo pattern on the check of side of his face where he had lost an eye to a fight or an accident. Tex – who said he was from Texas. After i had been there for half an hour and they decided that i was at least interesting and perhaps okay, Tex told me "You should call me 'Too Dim'. My friends call me Too Dim, not Tex."
The conversation rambled. They offered me beer and cigarettes. They played an animated guitar and sang in a raspy voices. They were generous, friendly and welcoming. All the traveler kids i have run across have been.
They train hopped from Jacksonville FL to Washington DC and discovered what many of us had experienced there. Washington is tough for outsiders with no friends in the town. They tried to talk to people, but no one had time for them. They played guitar and sang, but no one was generous. They tried lots of different types of places and nothing improved things. So they left.
They were hoping Richmond is better. I don't know, but something makes me think it will be.
At one point Barefoot complimented my shirt. I asked her if she would wear it. She said she certainly would, then i offered to give it to her, but she would not take it as a straight gift, she wanted to trade – which is how i got the stylish skull tank top i am donning in the picture below.
After an hour or so of hanging out, i decided i need to be moving on. They were lovely folks, dressed in tattered clothes. I am thankful my previous prejudices are subsiding and i can connect with a greater array of people.
When i left, with no request on their part, i left a few bucks behind. One Eye called out after me, "You have restored my faith in humanity". And strangely, i felt the same way.

In all honesty, it isnt hard. It just takes time and having the correct tools. If you cannot do it yourself, consider looking into having a local college or highschool auto program help you out. They are slow but it is free and the work is quality work as the students want good grades and you have professionals watching over them. The labor rate is free at most places like this.

No sleep 'till Fuckneckville
It's kinda funny, you may not realize it until
Phone calls stop, can't get laid
You find out where the parties were some time the next day
One way ticket to seclusion
Now you lose it all
One way ticket to alienation
You're an inside joke
Is everybody supposed to be
Impressed with your ability
To make us feel less significant than you?
We're all chippin in to purchase you
A one way first class ticket out of town
Millions sold, mega star
There's a million assholes with ten million guitars
Enjoy it now, soon it ends
Suddenly you find yourself without any friends
One way ticket to isolation
You can hang with you
You've been given a citation
For excessive social faux pas and obnoxiousness
Go ahead keep telling us your
15 minute stories about
What you had for breakfast and for lunch
We're all chippin in for one big humble pie
We're gonna smash it in your face
Go ahead tell us about your
Last week sold out concert
And how your new record's gonna top the charts
We don't care about your expenses
We just wanna have a laugh at your expense
The hottest lyrics from NOFX

Fantastic alternative spot for a morning meeting!
When the weathers right it's time for a pick up match on the pitch!
One of my favorite comic shops in the world. The indie section is the best in Charlotte. The staff is knowledgable and friendly, and there are wonderful places to eat nearby!
This is my favorite magazine joint in Charlotte, and where I get my old-media fix. They have the best selection of art & design mags in town!

To Istanbul for the triennial UIA congress. The opening party was in Haghia Sophia, the 1,400-year-old church converted to a mosque. It is now a museum, but what remains of its Byzantine mosaics were unfortunately upstaged by the UIA's main sponsor, a bathroom manufacturer, which placed copious displays of its wares around the upper galleries. As if this wasn't crass enough, the ubiquitous CNN, which was televising interviews with Zaha Hadid and Peter Eisenman, had its logo beamed down on to the most holy spot in the building.
