Moving onNovember 14, 2007
Today marked the end of La Vie Bohème and my return to the 9-5 life.
This time at home with minimal employment was necessary and good. I got the rest I needed and was able to sort out some conflicting thoughts on what I wanted to do with life.
The new job is temporary and if it doesn't lead to a permanent job, it will at least serve as a catalyst for this moving on.
Today also marks the end of the Year at Home blog. Thanks for reading, everyone!
Grateful for NovemberNovember 11, 2007
The Grateful for November posts have been moved to their own page.
The page will (probably) be updated daily during the month of November.
TartNovember 10, 2007
The Simplest Apple Tart
Smitten Kitchen recently posted a great recipe for apple tart.
This tart is simply made, but not so simply baked before eaten.
Can you resist pie crust dough?
TimeNovember 8, 2007
There is not enough time in the day only when one tries to do it all.
Or so I am discovering.
StatuesNovember 6, 2007
Combat Baby
Sam and Chicken Wire Man
My oldest brother, Andrew, is finishing up his B.A. at the University of Iowa. Business is his major, and art is what he does, as he says, to stay sane. A few weeks ago I was at the apartment he shares with my other older brother, Ethan, and after a while noticed a set of Andrew-sized, chicken wire legs standing in the corner. The next weekend the legs came home, attached to a torso and additional limbs. Then, this past weekend a friend and I ended up at the uni art center where we found the legs, torso and additional limbs with clothes and shoes, and Andrew on his back up on a table with his face buried under layers of plaster. When we left several hours later, he was casting his hands in wax.
The statue was a part of an assignment that required the artist to represent himself in the form and surface of a statue. As I walked around, looking at the other projects, I had this intense, sleep deprivation induced feeling of pity for Andrew's classmates. I learned quite early in life that to replicate anything of Andrew's was to set myself up for massive failure. Even if the project was not originally such a great idea (i.e. baking Bethany's flour/water/sugar batter over a heat register), it was inevitable that even his minimal success would dwarf your own simply because his initial enthusiasm for the project would have shifted ages ago to something bigger and better.
Standing there in the middle of the art studio, surrounded by other students' statues, I couldn't imagine having the hard luck of being a classmate of Andrew's, devoting a huge portion of my life to a B.A. in art, only to see him come in "to stay sane" in the middle of a business degree, and …well, be Andrew.
My ParentsNovember 2, 2007
My mom and I are sitting at her computers, side by side. Dad walks into the room and says my mom's name as he hands her something. From the way he says her name and the way she responds ("Ohhh! …Thank you…"), I turn around looking for the deep color of maybe a rose, but am confronted with the sight of a circa 1960s electrical plug with two inches of cord.
SparklersOctober 28, 2007
The wedding was lovely. Both the bride and the groom shed tears, which made it an even more happy occasion, and they kissed without the preacher even telling them to. As they walked from the church to the limo we all waved sparklers and cheered.
My date wore an exceptionally well-tied tie and did not, thanks to his foresight, clash with my new little black dress. He also had the brilliant idea of playing battleship on paper while we waited for the reception to begin and this, along with the chocolate fountain, made the wait quite enjoyable.
Then we ventured out and saw the Fruit of the Loom walking down the street.
Washington, Part 1: QuiltsOctober 25, 2007
Grammie, matching and stacking quilt squares
About a month ago, Grammie and I were sitting on the floor of her living room trying to figure out what to do with the remaining two sizes of quilt squares from my Grandma (my mom's mom). Yes, there turned out to be three different sizes of quilt squares in that batch.
We decided to start laying out and sewing the smaller (and fewer) of the two. With the larger ones we matched and stacked sets of four.
More to come…
Also Nothing Quite As Nice As…October 24, 2007
Nothing Quite As NiceOctober 23, 2007
There's nothing quite as nice as getting a phone message from a friend who was just calling to say hi. Especially if that phone message happened to have been left as one's students are requesting to listen to the Sailors Love the Wind! jazz chant for the third time.
… and GuestOctober 22, 2007
This weekend a friend from college is getting married!
The invitation was to me and "Guest," and I sent back the (somewhat confusing) RSVP card saying there would indeed be two. I RSVP'd near the beginning of the month and since then I've had it in the back of my mind that I need to actually find that Guest. Usually Guest implies a spouse, significant other, or a random date you got by advertising for one on Craig's List. Lacking a spouse and significant other, I'm this far away from posting an ad.
What is the correct way for a girl to go about getting a date for a wedding? Should I first approach the close guy friends and brothers? Would it be a bad idea/inappropriate to ask someone who I don't really know (especially if it would require air travel)? There could be some possible downsides to this, besides it being kind of too late…: a) boredom, b) the endless opportunities for really awkward situations, c) giving any variety of "wrong impressions", d) etcetera.
Other options include a [edit: going with a] girlfriend*, or just going solo, both of which would be fine.
*(I've always thought that using the word "girlfriend" in reference to female friends was kind of awkward, until a few years ago when I met an East Coast girl who frequently used the term. I liked hearing it and have since picked it up. Once it came in handy while in another country: I'd given my card to a guy who was also from another country, and he called me a few days later, asking if we could meet up again that night. I was not interested in meeting up with him and I told him I was out of town with my girlfriends, which I was. There was silence on the other end. "Oh. Your girlfriend?" He asked. "Uh, yeah. My girlfriend[soft "s"]" I said. The conversation came to an abrupt end.)

Some highlights from the week:
~ Finally getting to meet Elijah! He brought along a few albums of his pictures, and as usual, the vivid pictures of life made me want to travel again.
~ Working out some details on a video project my brother, Andrew, asked me to help him with. It's been a few years since I've worked with video, and talking about it, working out the storyboard was …exhilerating? Maybe because we were drinking pots of tea, and coffee, and surrounded with good friends.
~ Driving west through open fields and rolling hills at dusk, when the sky is huge, and filled with indescribable shades of blue.
Some thoughts from the week:
~ In August, Boundless Webzine published an article by Jenny Schroedel entitled Friendship Between Women. In it she refers to something Plato apparently said,
"Be kind to everyone you meet, for everyone is waging a terrible internal battle."
This week has held a few bitter tears; times of being entirely alone. These are moments when it's difficult to push through to the other side. In her wonderful book Gifts from the Sea, A.M. Lindbergh writes that contrary to popular thought, every man is, in fact, an island. I believe it's true, and because of this it's important that I not escape those moments of painful aloneness, but to be fully in them, working through hopelessness ~ alone.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who goes through moments like this. And while it's impossible to share the pain of aloneness, those who understand are kind, knowing well the terrible internal battle. It's something I often forget to do, be, for others.
~ During a few long drives this week, I thought a lot about the balance between striving, and yielding. Is balance moderation?

Sarah, through a Mason Jar
Moving on from glasses of water.
One of my favorite things to do is make Sarah laugh. Another favorite thing to do is tickle her, but as I can no longer hold both of her hands with one of mine, this is becoming a bit more of a challenge.
Remember to LaughOctober 18, 2007
Sometimes life and all it brings is so overwhelming and strange and absurd that there's nothing left to do but smile until laughter breaks out.
Off, a BitOctober 16, 2007
My left thumb nail is mutilated. I managed to slice off only a small portion of my thumb, and a larger portion of the nail, which has been hanging on until today, when it gave up and demanded to be disposed of.
Several years ago the nail on my left big toe was mutilated by a kilo of ice cream during a misunderstanding between me and a Turkish ice-cream merchant. We both let go of the massive block of ice cream at the same time. It landed on my toe.
I feel kind of off balance with these mutilated left big toe and thumbnails.
Speaking of being off balance, there is a mirror in the bathroom of one of the buildings where I work that is off kilter. This normally doesn't bother me, but this one kind of does because it's screwed into the wall.
24 HoursOctober 15, 2007
Teacup from my Mama and the recently aquired thermos
Both a part of my getting-through-winter-at-home plan.
List of exciting things that have happened in the past 24 hours:
~ Sleeping in, blissfully, until 8:15 this morning.
~ Plans changing, which makes Chicago look like a less remote possibility for this weekend. (Hurray!) We'll see.
~ Slicing off a quarter of my left thumbnail with a cheese slicer.
~ Watching just how far $9.00 can go at Goodwill's $0.25 sale.
A House OverflowingOctober 13, 2007
One in a long series, taken while Sarah was doing schoolwork
(If you're listed as one of my contacts on Flickr you can see the rest of the photos.)
This past year at least nine of my friends have gotten married. Some of them are already celebrating their first anniversaries.
Time, as my Korean host mother puts it, flies like an arrow.
I've been lucky to have close friends who are in places similar to my own, and have felt only a strange mixture of loneliness and relief when comparing myself to recently married girlfriends.
The other day I was contemplating this lack of envy and decided that it might have something to do with there being no babies around yet. Then, last night at Susanna's going-away-to-bootcamp bonfire (wow, I remember when she was the baby) a newly-wed couple came waving a much-handled ultrasound photo.
But then, it's hard to be envious when a new life, a new baby is involved, isn't it?
Yesterday, as I was attempting, in vain, to make some solid decisions about My Future, I started an email to a friend who had recently told me of her plans for the next five or so years. They are plans befitting her capabilities and devotion to greater good, and I was marveling at her focus, her desires and her outline for achieving them.
"In a few years you'll have to come to visit for a vacation," I wrote. "You can take some time off and recharge at my house, which will by then…"
And there I stopped. I stopped because I was going to write, "…which will by then be, I hope, overflowing with children."
Then I couldn't continue because of two thoughts:
1. How in the world could one expect to take time off and recharge at a house overflowing with children? (It made perfect sense with my friend in mind, actually.)
2. A house overflowing with children? I'd meant to convey to her in a sort of tongue-in-cheek way that I had no such ambitious goals, but when I stopped I realized with a mental start that a house overflowing with children is a desire that started when I was quite small and is one that has never really left me, try as I may to forget it.
Maybe it is, after all, quite ambitious.
Thinking About: The WeekOctober 12, 2007
~Tortas. Near where I work there is a Mexican grocery with a tiny restaurant in the back. The perfect place to take yourself out for lunch, especially if you're a bit tired of dining ensemble.
~Decisions. Everything is on indefinite hold until I make a few major decisions about life path. Leave the country for reasons a, b, or c? Go to grad school for a, b, or c? Buy a house? Rent an apartment? Move closer to friends in big cities? Buy a cow? Get that job? Stay?
~Perfume Oils from the Body Shop, which, prompted by friends, I've started to use instead of deodorant. Earthy, as one of my brothers put it.
~Students. The two 18-year-old high school drop-outs who are tattooed and a bit scrawny. They're respectful, motivated, and smart. The late twenty-something who does well when I walk him through every question, but can't seem to get 50% when he's on his own. What makes them different? What's going on in their brains? What will happen to them?
~Working hard. I'm back in that groove where Fridays are a letdown. Am just getting going in this work-mode, finding satisfaction in a job well done, and a day well spent, when the weekend rolls around and everything stops. Am ready for a major change.
~My Dad's arms around me. My Dad and I went for a walk together on Monday. He put his arm around me in a tight, reassuring embrace and spoke words I've been needing to hear.
ColdOctober 12, 2007
It's that time of year when "refrigerate for one hour," means, "leave at room temp for 20 min."
"Hit By a Truck"October 8, 2007
There are bruises on my knees, arms, shins, and waist. There is dirt under my nails and straw caked into the dirt on my sandals. My jeans will soon no longer be in a heap on my floor, but they're still sopping wet and caked with mud. There's an unrelenting ibuprofen-masked headache somewhere back in my brain. A mad whirl of thoughts behind a thick calm.
How was my weekend?
It was great.

Today John and I went to morning mass.
Connecting ThreadsOctober 2, 2007
Today I spent a few hours with a good friend who fed me her delicious potato soup, and sent me home with a bag full of clothes from a recent closet purge. Most of my clothes come from the overabundance of my friends' closets, which is so nice because shopping can be a huge drain ~ and usually leaves me with a headache. There's something much nicer about a stack of cast-off clothing, a cup of French-pressed coffee, and an hour or so of trying on and discussing previous and future alterations of a particular garment, and the story behind it. There's always a story; the place it came from, the person who admired it, the reason it didn't survive the purge, the reason I should have it.
One of my friends once went into (inebriated) detail about his relationship with his (very expensive) clothing. At the time it was merely amusing to listen to him go on and on about the shirt as an extension of himself, and while I perhaps wouldn't go that far, clothes are rarely just something to wear and I suppose I do tend to have a connection with clothing that has a story behind it.
Have you ever had a connection with a piece of clothing?
DistanceSeptember 28, 2007
The past few months I've had an acute sense of distance. Specifically the distance between me and people with whom I wanted to be.
On Sunday I'll start the long journey back to the Midwest from the West Coast where I've spent the past week and will feel again, quite acutely, the space between me and people I love.
List of Things I Didn't Do By TuesdaySeptember 18, 2007

FootholdsSeptember 17, 2007
This weekend Sarah and I went climbing at an indoor climbing gym with some friends, and we brought along 3 of our brothers. The guys and their friends got no small amount of enjoyment out of the phrase "our sisters took us climbing." One of their friends called up his buddies in Colorado to tell them. Just goes to show what a little dedication gets you. : smile :
It was a good group, and really fun to spend that kind of time with my brothers. It's quite a bonding experience, putting your life in someone's hands.
This weekend while everyone was occupied with other routes, I hooked into an auto-belay and spent a while climbing up a crack, something I've never done. I started small, focusing my hands in the crack with feet on the climbing holds. There's something about doing a route over and over that, though it seems boring, is actually quite exciting. I suppose every day I've spent climbing includes something new, some thrill, but this time I felt a sort of calm confidence. It wasn't something someone could have looked watched me do and admired, but it was a personal accomplishment, a knowing, a foothold to something bigger.
List of Things to Do Before Tuesday:September 13, 2007

Who Wants to Know?September 12, 2007
It's the second hour of the evening ESL class, and we're moving into the grammar exercises.
I am writing out the section and exercise numbers on the board and several students point out that the numbers are wrong. I laugh, and say I work with letters, not numbers.
Then, from the left side of the table there comes a question. "Are you [something incomprehensible], teacher?"
The question comes from a woman who, the last time we talked, went into uncomfortable detail about a recent surgical operation. I turn around, warily, and ask, "Am I what?"
She repeats the question a few times, and I think I understand her, but I don't want to. We've just started grammar exercises and I find it an inappropriate time and place to inquire into my marital status.
Someone helpful chimes in. "Are you lonely, like, do you have a boyfriend?"
Looking back, I see that her question wasn't entirely off topic. After all, we were studying possessives.
"My Last Date Was a Neat Freak"September 9, 2007
Cynthia Beaudette is a reporter for the local paper. We met a few years ago and had a great conversation about writing.
I tend to find reporters a little intimidating, partly because they're making a living at what I spent 4 years studying but am not doing, and partly because they can write whatever they want about you. And publish it for an audience of actual readers. Yes, okay, so at a certain point writing whatever one wants to about someone in a newspaper is against the law, but sometimes even if reporters write word-for-word what you told them, that's bad enough.
While Cynthia was still intimidating because she's an actual reporter and was writing about me, she responded nicely to my cross-interview and made the whole ordeal quite painless.
Cynthia recently wrote a column for the Muscatine Journal. It's titled My Last Date Was a Neat Freak, and it's hilarious.
Here's an excerpt:
"How many kids did you say you have?" he asked
"Four," I said. "The youngest is 4 and the oldest is 14."
"Well, if the 4-year-old keeps leaving crayons on the dashboard, the sun will melt them and you'll have a permanent stain," he said. "And I don't know how you can see anything in that rear view mirror. It looks like somebody smeared chocolate on it."
"I'll take care of that today," I said.
"You want to?" he asked eagerly. "There's a car wash right across the street.
"You mean, you want me to go clean my car now?" I asked.
"I'll do it," he said. "Just pull your car into one of the stalls."
In the Same Time ZoneSeptember 8, 2007

Now that the three of us are in the same time zone again, we get to actually spend time together. Last night was fun and included motorcycles, a Land Rover, a George Foreman grill, a trip to Goodwill, a movie, and an outdoor concert, where this photo was taken.
Lacking TransitionSeptember 5, 2007
"Life never brings us what we want at the moment we consider appropriate. Adventures do occur but not punctually." E.M Forster ~ quoted in an email from a friend, who I haven't seen in years, and just barely missed seeing last summer.
Sarah and I park the car in the airport parking lot, still arguing over when the flight comes or came in. I say 5:35, Sarah says 5:00.
It's 5:25.
We walk towards the entrance and see over to the left two familiar faces, along with a familiar green pashmina and a familiar blue fisherman's hat. Always so orienting to see those two familiar faces.
How long have you been waiting, we ask, after hugs and kisses have ceased. We just got in, says our mother, and I poke Sarah in the arm.
Solitary Island, or, 44 WordsSeptember 4, 2007
For Carrie, who asked.
Pulled, stretched thin and twanged by words unbidden flowing ~ towards, into, through.
Soothed by solitary tasks in the cool, breezy dead of night, where rhythmic folding, washing, folding, washing allow fragmented solid wisps of inspiration to draw me back together.

Wedding tattoos, originally uploaded by aioa
2wice a Bridesmaid
Lisa and Robert renewed their vows on Saturday, and it was great fun to be in the wedding party as one of the 8 bridesmaids. We streamed down the asle to a jungle theme, showing off (temporary) tattoos on our bare left shoulders. The whole celebration was filled with fun, laughter, and loudly proclaimed "Robert and Lisa."
Then Bethany and I lured a few other bridesmaids to the fountain downtown.
Julie in Iowa
A dear friend from Korea days came for a short visit this weekend. We went to a farm stand and bought corn on the cob, watermelon, and hot pepper jelly, which was unexpectedly delicious. We also picked tomatoes at the Lee's, cooked a huge dinner for boys who kept stopping by the house, watched a Cary Grant film, and found kitschy nicknacks for the cubicle back in NYC.
Oh! Julie brought me some Korean snacks, as she can get them much more easily than I can here, so we ate a lot of Peppero, which according to the US required nutritional facts sticker contain an unbelievable amount of sodium.
Some websites I've been enjoying lately:
A Year of Mornings
Two women, in opposite Portlands, take pictures every morning. So colorful and filled with my favorite things.
Chai Loves Linen
Japanese handmade. Gorgeous ~ be sure to look at all five pages.
Smiling About:August 31, 2007
Would feel "at home," she says
~ Robert and Lisa's Wedding Celebration tomorrow. They were married in a private ceremony earlier this year, and tomorrow are the festivities.
~ Julie's visit this Sunday!
~ Holding babies. Matthew and one of his coworkers, Dustin, came over on Monday because, uh, when you have your own company you can celebrate Labor Day a week early. Dustin's fiancee and 1-1/2 month old baby came as well, and I offered to watch the baby while they went swimming. She was a chubby, getting-over-a-cold little thing and sat contendedly in my left arm while I sorted quilt squares with my right.
~ Secret messages from Singapore.
Open Letter To KLoveAugust 28, 2007
Dear KLove,
Although I rarely tune into your station I live with several people who do, and have been listening more than once a day for about a year now. I have a few suggestions and comments to make.
The first thing I'd like to suggest is a new tagline. Your current tagline ("The positive, encouraging KLove") is getting a tad worn out, don't you think? For your consideration I suggest, "KLove, where we play all the songs you know by heart."
This brings me to a question I've been wondering for a long time. How many songs do you have in your library? I listen to your station quite a bit and though I've never actually counted, if forced to guess I'd say you had about 100 songs.
Wow. I know over a hundred songs by heart.
Now, I don't think I played more than 100 songs on my radio show either, but that was because it was an hour a week, and because I'd developed an unexpected crush on Wes McDonald and played his latest album quite a bit. No one else was listening anyway, so it didn't really matter. It was also his latest album, which reminds me of another thing.
Surely there are good Christian artists who are right now producing music worthy of playing on the air, so why, why, why do you persist in playing Newsboys, DC Talk, Audio [that naturally produced chemical I cannot spell], and other bands whose songs bring up really weird memories from my years as a gangly teenager?
One more thing. I'm a supporter of the international exclaimation point quota system, and you're taxing the verbal usage limit on exclamation points. Ease up, would you? I've got some exclamation point using friends and would very much rather hear theirs than yours before all exclamation points have been used up. My friends are, after all, real.
Thank you,
Anna Anderson
Morphing, AgainAugust 27, 2007
Well, it was a nice start. This morning I found the pool table top in pristine condition, which gave me a similar feeling as last night when Sarah and I arrived home to a garage with space for a car.
Then I remembered my quilt.
Must remember to not leave huge projects out on the pool table. *sigh*
Enter stage two of the quilt-making process – the reassembling of the squares!!
Morphing into PastelAugust 26, 2007
"Print." "Solid." "Print." "Solid."
Here are the 400 squares arranged in a minimally thought-out pattern.
Enter stage one of the quilt-making process!!
Randomness….August 24, 2007
The word, "random" I will forever associate with my friend Lisa, who embodies, lives random. She recently married Robert, who's so nice it's hard to resent him for whisking her off the face of the earth. Together they live in a tiny bedroom in his parent's trailer while their house is remodeled. Often, around 9:00pm I'll get this incredibly itchy boredom and join Lisa in the 24 sq. ft. she calls her own and watch TV with her until she meets Robert during his break at work.
So, with Lisa in mind, here are a few randomities:
~This is what I'd like the larger quilt to look like, if and when it ever comes together. In the spirit of reusing (and necessarily frugality) I'll be using an old blanket instead of batting.
~The next few weeks promise to be a nice mix of quiet and chaos, and I'm hoping to move forward on some craft and writing projects that sit, half thought out in perfect disorder on the pool table and my desk.
~Am excited about a visit from a friend I've not seen in much too long. She and I spent our last night in Korea together, appropriately capping off the whole adventure in a hostel room with microwaved ramen and some J&C.
~Am disappointed I wasn't able to to join Bethany on a short trip to meet Elijah, who's been treking the world with his camera. Elijah's mom and I met last year and when she mentioned her son was heading to Colombia I immediately thought of Bethany. They got in touch and met up for a day of sight seeing and photographing. His photos of Colombia made me want to travel again.
Breaking Point (or whatever it's called)August 22, 2007
South Korea.
Pool Hall in a city on the train line between my town and K and M's city.
We're talking about life, and everything that LIFE includes. We're shooting pool and I'm getting tired of it. My patience for pool lasts through about one and a half games and we're on our third. I want to lie on the floor. K brings up this idea of The Breaking Point. At least, I think it was called this. It might have been something else, but for some reason Breaking Point is what I've come to subjectively apply to what K went on to explain.
The Breaking Point, or whatever it's called, is that point in a project/situation/job/pool game where you feel like you're pushing a cement wall towards an undetermined finish line, and want to simply sit down and will it to all disappear. K explained that when you get past the breaking point, that's when things start to change, fall into place — the cement wall becomes a wheelbarrow and the finish line is within sight.
After this conversation I started to pay attention to those times when things got difficult and I wanted to walk away. It's easier to finish if you can see beyond what's difficult right now.
Funny how life doesn't have a breaking point, but rather a very long series of them. Funny how some of them seem to last months.
Oh, Insightful TomeAugust 22, 2007
A very good song
The first broken Moleskine. There are others.
Last night…
Me: "…so what is our family's idea of courtship?"
Mom: "Ahh! That word! Is it even in the dictionary?"
The word courtship is a term that has taken on rather subjective meanings. It is defined by individuals, families, and authors of best-selling books. It is used predominately in the homeschooling subculture to refer to the method by which two people should pursue marriage.
I realized, last night, that I had no idea what the word actually means.
According to the American Heritage College Dictionary, courtship is a noun. It means the act, or process, or period of courting.
Ok. So what's courting?
Courting is a verb. It means, among other things:
to attempt to gain; seek
to try to attempt to gain the love or affections of, esp. to seek to marry
to pursue a courtship; woo
And woo?
It means to seek the affection of with romantic intentions.
And with that I had a revelation. Courtship isn't about getting to know each other, or figuring out if two people are compatible. I'm not sure it's possible to get to know someone enough, and compatibility? It's so hard to tell, anyway. No, courtship, in the purest sense of the word, is about something beyond all of this calculation and analysis.
It's about a pursuer seeking, attempting, trying, to win a heart.
Difficult to KnowAugust 19, 2007
It's so difficult to know how God can use everything for his good and glory.
The women's Bible study that I go to has been studying the book of John. Lately one of the main points that has stuck out to me comes from the story of Lazarus, where because of what seemed like a preventable death, a resurrection could be. The whole story is in John 11.
Since studying that chapter so many things have happened that just seem so pointless. So preventable. Why? I think. Then I begin to wonder how God will use the circumstance for good, for his glory.
It's often difficult, or impossible, to know how this works out, but I have to attempt to cling unswervingly to the hope ~ through the hurt, meaninglessness, and anger.
Internet FastAugust 17, 2007
Things I've realized since learning our house will be without Internet access until September.
~I don't need the Internet to live
~However, not having it makes communication with people a l'autre bout de monde (et pay) difficult
~There are actually 24 hours in a day
~I have a phone that I should use more
Sarah in a Glass of WaterAugust 14, 2007
Sarah in a glass of water
Superhero Journal has started a Monday Photo Assignment. The first one, a few weeks ago, was Photograph someone in a glass of water.
Ok, so I'm a few weeks behind, but we just started using real glasses again and I wanted to try this out. See other pictures of Sarah-in-a-glass-of-water here on Flickr.
In our kitchen, the combination of an industrial size stainless steel sink and lots of rough and tumble youngsters has always been lethal for anything made of non-bullet-proof glass. A few months ago I decided that as we are now all of legal driving age and over 3-feet in height, maybe we could try using real glasses again. I had a box of new glasses I'd gotten at a yard sale for $5.00 (so cheap, I thought, until I saw the exact same box at Wal-Mart for $6.99), so I brought them downstairs to the kitchen. With resolve, I washed them and put them to use.
Last week I was washing dishes and marveling that we hadn't broken any of the glasses. Then I reached down for the next glass and as I lifted it up towards me the lip caught the edge of a cast-iron dutch oven and broke into several clean pieces.
Bring Something to BurnAugust 13, 2007
What: The Long Awaited Bring Something to Burn Party
When: Friday, August 17th. 8PM or so
Where: Anderwood
Who: You
Why: Pyromaniacs. R. Us.
We request that you bring at least two things. One thing to burn, and something else, edible, for roasting.
In anticipation of the words, "But I have nothing to burn," I've come up with a list of things that you could burn. I came up with this list while my student was painstakingly summarizing chapter 2 of the abridged version of Huckleberry Finn, so that might explain …everything.
Things you could burn at the Bring Something to Burn Party
~Socks that are beyond mending
~Craft projects you really never will finish
~The (non-metal) contents of your waste basket
~Old love letters from former significant others
~Something symbolic, such as
~~a clock
~~an eraser
~~a pack of cigs
~~McDonald's #4, supersized
~~a salad
~Last year's calendar
~A secret
~Applications from universities that you've decided not to apply to
~Something decrepit
~Something of no real value
~Something moth-eaten
~Notebooks from math class
~A couch
~A candle
~That ancient t-shirt that reminds you, uncomfortably, of 1999
~A pocket dictionary of that language you've never actually learned
~Your collection of used paper cups
~A website
~Hostess cupcakes
[Edit] ~Itinerary of an elusive favoured guest that never arrived. (DF, "Becoming unexpectedly famous" does not = "A good excuse for not being in the US in August.")
Some recommendations for roasting items include:
~Corn in the husk
~Apples with cinnamon and sugar
~Bacon wrapped asparagus
~Bacon wrapped pineapple
~Bacon wrapped green beans
~Bacon wrapped bacon
~Other, non-bacon "meat" like hotdogs
As always, accommodations can be arranged for you out-of-towners, out-of-staters, expats, and foreigners should you make the trek to the edge of Iowa. ;)

Bethany has posted Flickr pics!!
Our golf team was comprised of us singlettes, and Christopher. We decided some healthy competition was in order and said the losers would pay for the winner's ice cream. Desiree won, and I was glad we hadn't said the lowest scoring player had to pay for the rest of the team… ;)

Matthew's Life Through His PocketsAugust 12, 2007
Matthew "I love my truck" Anderson
"Well, that's a sexy picture."
Things found in Matthew's pockets while doing his laundry that might lend insight into his life as a hotel-dwelling construction worker:
~Two fast-food receipts
~A small, red, well-worn Gideon Bible
~Around $8 in bills and change
~Two nearly-empty matchbooks
~A well-worn Tums tablet
And a snippet of a conversation had while riding home from church in his truck:
"I have all of these country songs stuck in my head, melding themselves into one."
"Entitled, 'Life'?"
Finding Ashes, and SpaghettiAugust 11, 2007
"The impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, but destructive. Anything you do not freely and abundantly give becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes." Annie Dillard
From The Writing Life
On an unrelated note, at 2AM this morning an out-of-town friend walked in the door with spaghetti hanging off of her bag. It was one of those unfortunate things that you're glad you didn't miss.
Labels and Graveyards and Forgotten PoetryAugust 10, 2007
Last night I went through my Gmail inbox and labeled the 200 or so messages I'd neglected to label and archive.
Then I had this dream about labels. In reality I have one label for "siblings," but in my dream I had very detailed labels for those times when I send an email to more than one sibling and a conversation ensues with one but not another. For times like that I had labels that said, "Siblings – Ethan and Andrew." "Siblings – mostly Andrew." As well as, apparently, all variations on that theme.
Oh, and speaking of sleeping, as I read this article in the IHT I remembered that I had taken a nap in that cemetery last summer after returning to Seoul from a trip to Thailand ~ and after discovering my cell phone stolen out of my checked bag.
An elderly man came up to me and gave me a small book about the cemetery, which I still have.
There was a poem on one of the headstones that I tried to memorize, and although I can tell you exactly where the headstone is located, I cannot remember the poem for anything.

Magic QuiltAugust 7, 2007
About to lift off
Over a decade ago my Grandma, an avid quilter, gave me a bag full of quilt squares in two sizes. I started to handmake a quilt, but like so many of my craft projects, gave it up shortly afterwards.
This winter I went through my unfinished craft collection, deciding to heartlessly throw away some and finish the others. The quilt that I had started was a carefully matched, pastel thing that made me consider with suspicion my younger self. It was enough to make me want to shove the whole thing back in a drawer when I noticed the smaller stack of smaller squares and decided to make a mis-matched baby quilt as a segue into the larger quilt project.
With my Mom's help (I can only sew if one of my hands is grasping hers) I laid out a nice mis-matched pattern of squares and got to work, forgetting about the whole project as soon as I got the top connected.
I finally finished it this weekend and am gearing up for the larger project: a huge, equally mis-matched quilt that will eventually go to live in the trunk of a car and provide the base for many impromptu picnics, and warmth for winter stargazing.

I had some caramel left over from my Snickers cookies so I made some Chocolate Caramel Bars. The caramel is too liquid to cut it into presentable pieces and it's messy to eat but oh-so-delicious.
Very creative! The results look amazing.
These look soooo yummy! What recipe did you use?
I didn't really follow a recipe. Just made a simple 3-2-1 shortcrust pastry, made caramel out of sugar and milk and poured some dark chocolate over the whole thing.
I think the way those look now is perfectly presentable, good job the messy food is the best

Mephiles the Dark by itsHelias94Watch
©2012-2016 itsHelias94
I love this character! :3
he's so amazing, I love his desing, His voice...His role on the Game....and Despite...He has been the ONLY ONE who killed sonic! <3
Is this 3D?
Surely you must realize that you cannot hope to stop me with your 'limited' power.
Oh wow!!! That's awesome! ^___^
hrrhrrhr it gives me goosebumbs
He's really scary & creepy but, he's SOOO CUTE!!!!
0_0 He's staring into your soul.
o_o HOLY SHIT! I never noticed this, but his arms aren't conected to his hands! Just goes to show how much I don't pick up from a bad game with an amazing villain.
hey there nice render where did you get this model from?
nice work!
А можно вопрос? Что это за программа?
Не фанат Соника, но это просто эпично *u*
That's... Beautiful. O_O
A real son of a Devil of that Mephiles was.
EPIC! Makes me want to play 2006 again!
Thank God I have a PlayStation 3!
Thank God I have a PlayStation 3!
oh. my. fleeping. god. I LOVE THIS!
Now, we're talking. This is really high defined, omfg.
This is fantastic. He's by far one of the greatest video game villians ever in my opinion.
One of Sonic's greatest villains... in an AMAZING villainous pose!! Great job!
mephiles! amazing job done!
Which 3D engine did you use? I bet if you used cryengine 3 or unreal engine 3.5, it would look awesome. I like mepheles, he's a dark character. He actually did the impossible, he managed to kill sonic, and that is an achievement in it's self
I like how all of the Sonic characters only have one eye.
мамочки!!!!!!!!!!!!! вот это рендер))))))))))
Oh, and you are just a Shadow recolor
You suck Mephiles. You are creepier than the Joker from the Dark Knight Movies and you killed Sonic.
>.< i could never look at his eyes...they always made mine hurt..i feel sorry for his blood vessels...
Ahh Mephiles, the one thing I actually like about 06.
I love the texturing, especially on his forehead and hands, it's extremely vivid. A truly intimidating villain made even more realistically here. Excellent work!

First high def, clear, straight forward 3D image of Mephiles I've ever seen that wasn't a tiny cut out. o:
He looks bad@$$ XDDD
Original the Hedgehog, I've seen this guy loads!
that's pretty darn cool
Mephiles alwways creeped me out! I think it was cuz of the music that played whenever he appeared. But anyway, this is fantastic!
Quite amazing, I should admit. did you use Blender?
He looks awesome and all...but was he desinged without a nose? Then how does he smell things?
The first, and only, villan that manages to actually 'kill' Sonic. I think that's enough reason to file him under bad-ass.
Nice indeed....
Damn, now I REALLY wanna play this game!
This is definitely epic.
Shame on mephy and his insatiable apatite for ressurecting Iblis.
And epic pic. |3

And epic pic. |3
Wow, your models are just awesome! ^^
that is way epic ^^
I only like him because SEGA had the balls to just straight up murder Sonic. The game is bad and the story is dumb, but at least the villain was actually well done

I'd much prefer serials and newsreels and cartoons to the endless, repeated commercials before the show. Yes, that's not really how things work these days.

The Next Generation of Microbial Fuel Cells: Integration of Nanotechnology and Optimized Fuel Cell Design for Increased PowerEPA Grant Number: FP916438
Title: The Next Generation of Microbial Fuel Cells: Integration of Nanotechnology and Optimized Fuel Cell Design for Increased Power
Investigators: Dolney, Nicole Y.
Institution: University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
EPA Project Officer: Manty, Dale
Project Period: January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2006

The need for an efficient source of inexpensive energy has driven technological advancements in the area of utilizing organic matter as an energy source. Copious amounts of energy can be found in organic matter such as carbohydrates, which are found in agricultural and municipal waste. Municipal waste can constitute as much as 80 percent organic materials. Energetic valorization of organic matter has been accomplished by conversion of the matter for the production of biofuels, such as ethanol, and by conversion of the matter to hydrogen; however, alternate ways to extract energy directly out of biomass exist. A microbial fuel cell is a device that directly utilizes the metabolic output of microbial activity to produce electrical power. This electrical energy is produced by coupling the oxidation of substrates (organic or inorganic) by the microbe to the chemical reduction of an oxidant. These biological fuel cells have received attention because they can provide access to a cheap "green" energy source. The objective of this study is to address some of the problems surrounding the current state of microbial fuel cells, such as inefficient electron transfer, low currents, and lack of modularity.Approach:
Variables that have been determined to most often affect these outputs include the fuel cell configuration and materials, microbiology, number of electrons produced, electron recovery, and long-term recycling of electron mediators. This study will: (1) develop a less complex one-compartment microbial fuel cell with the capabilities of individual component recycling; (2) enhance the electron transfer by the use of mediator bound semiconducting nanoparticles; (3) test the power output of this fuel cell against already established cells; and (4) test the enhancement of this output by changing the microorganism, substrate, mediator, and component materials.Supplemental Keywords:

Mad Max by ThatNordicGuyWatch
©2014-2016 ThatNordicGuy
After seeing the trailer for Mad Max: Fury Road, I decided to morph old Max (Mel Gibson) and new Max (Tom Hardy), into one. Here you go!
The trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=akX3Is…
The trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=akX3Is…
Looks a little more "Tom Gibson" than "Mel Hardy". Good work. Came here from Imgur.
Wow, This is what Max should look like in the new Mad max game they're coming out with.
in the trailers currently Max doesn't look like Mel Gibson or Tom Hardy. he looks more like Taylor Kitsch lol
in the trailers currently Max doesn't look like Mel Gibson or Tom Hardy. he looks more like Taylor Kitsch lol
this shit is creepy. I see alot of Tom Hardy's face but those are Mel's eyes for sure. Trippy to look at. Like they had some super actor love child
Crazy! This messes with my head. Well done.
My mind is so fucked.
Hahaha AWESOME!!!
This picture is the right kind of freaky...first look? Tom Hardy. But take a second look and you see "Mad Max"-era Mel Gibson with a modern haircut. The blending proves that, visually, you can believe they're playing the same man at different points in his life. IMO anyway.
kinda looks like mel gibson and tom hardy had a son.
actually...not bad

Earlier today I was thrilled to pick up, on behalf of the Creation Museum, a certification from the National Weather Service (NWS) that has designated our museum as a "StormReady Supporter." An official with the NWS plus local officials representing the fire department and the county emergency management office were on hand as the museum received this prestigious certification.
Because there aren't very many StormReady places in our state that are private (i.e., not governmental , not a public school) and have received this special designation, we are very much honored. And I thank our museum staff who got us through the process of getting this certification. This designation is just another manifestation to our museum guests, staff, and community of our commitment to keep people as safe as possible during severe weather.
We have posted on the AiG homepage the news release we distributed earlier today to the media about the museum receiving this special designation.
Thanks for stopping by and for praying,

We brought in all kinds of work vehicles, such as bulldozers and dump trucks, to our church parking lot. Children and their fathers climbed all over the vehicles. Then they worked on makeshift playhouses with real hammers and nails. Afterward, we talked about how we can build a strong foundation with God.
The children loved their special time with Dad and playing with grown-up tools. They also enjoyed seeing the results of their work on the playhouses.

Running around your german home,happy as could be.Your vati said your grossvater was visiting,even though you had never really met him.You cleaned up your room and toys being the tot you are,getting excited was very easy.You smiled not wanting to wait anymore,grabbing all your toys and throwing them into your toy chest.
Hearing the door bell you run down stairs,seeing you vati open the door you hold your breath.
"The awesomeness has arrived!"a certain prussian uncle yelled walking in making vati facepalm.
"Uncle Awesome!" you yell running down and hugging him.
"Meine favorite Awesome neice"he said picking you up,while gibird landed on your head.
"Hey come in here und help me Gilbert"you turned to see vati putting on his apron,and gil set you down on the couch.Grabbing the remote and putting on spongebob just as the episode 'Texas'came on.Watching the T.v you could hear Vati and Gil fighting about how Gibert would start watching Spongebob,and not doing something right you giggled.
"Finally we're done!"Vati said thanking the high heavens.
Getting up you look to see the whole table set,and everything spic and span as always.
Hopping off the couch you skipped into the kitchen,smelling the diffrent aromas of german wurst and bake goods.Tugging on your vati's pink apron he looks down at a hungry ________.He sigh you were like America with food,jut shoving it down barely even tasting it.
"I'm sorry ________,but you'll have to vait until your Grossvater gets here"he sighed when you pouted.
"Fine"just then there was a knock at the door.
"Yay~"you cheered as he walked over to the large door,when he opened it you saw a man who looked like vati only with longer hair and a small braid.He looked down at you and smiled at you and Vati.He wore a Black tee with regular jeans.
"So zhis is meine grosstochter,I've heard zo much about"he smiled picking you up.
"Grossvati!"you smiled hugging his neck.
You played with his braid while he talked to vati in german,you giggled when Gilbert came out of nowhere and pushed all of you together.
"Guten tag Gilbert"he groaned being squished by his eldest son."How are you?"he said pushing him off with one arm,still holding you.
"I'm still as awesome as ever!"he exclaimed striking a pose,vati and grossvati both face palmed.
"Vell lets just eat"Vati sighed walking into the kitchen.
"Does he always wear that?"he asked looking down at you.
"Yes"you answered he sighed walking into the dining room,and setting you down in your high chair he sat next to you.Vati and Gilbert walking in carrying multiple dishes and plate,they set them down much to gilberts releif.Vati started putting things on your plate,while the others made their own.
"Here ________"Vati sat your plate infront of you,grabbing your fork you started eating some wurst.Looking around the table you see they were quiet,so you were too.Taking a bite of sausage,you finally hear someone break the ice.
"So Vatter how was the world?"vati asked looking up from his plate.
"It vas very interesting,and rather fun"he answered back.
"Ja I bet it was Awesome not as much as me but still"gil
commented,Grossvati chuckled.
"Yeah but it got lonly after russia"
"Ja he has that aura"Vati said looking back down at his plate,your family they were never ones for conversation.The rest of the meal was silent only broken by you yawning,it was around 10 pm. your usual bedtime.You yawned again feeling your eyes water slightly,your eyes felt heavey.
"Come on its to for bed"vati said picking you up from the chair,grossvati got up too.Walking up the stairs following you and vati up to your room,vati set you down in the door way.
"Go change and tell us when your done"he said closing the door.Walking over to your dresser you picked out your spongebob pjs and knocked on the door.They both walked in to say goonight,climbing into your soft bed you lay down.
"Guten nacht________"Vati said kissing your forehead.
"tell me a story"you pouted
"Well...I....um....Vatter I'm sure you know some stories"he stuttered he wasn't the best story teller.
"Ja a short one"
"Gut we'll be down stairs"he said leaving the room,Grossvati sat down at the end of your bed.You sat up wanting to hear the story,scooting closer he cleared his throut.
"This is a quick story ok?"
"Ja!"you answered smiling
"A mother had her child taken from the cradle by evil elves. In its place they put a changeling with a empty head and blank eyes who would do nothing but eat and drink. In fear she went to a neighbor and asked for advice.
The neighbor told her to carry the changeling into the kitchen, set it on the hearth, make a fire, and boil water in two eggshells.
That should make the changeling laugh, and if it laughs it will be all over with them. The woman did everything just as her neighbor said.
When she placed the eggshells filled with water over the fire, the emptyhead said: Now I am as old As the Wester Wood,But have never seen anyone cooking in shells! And he began laughing about it. When he laughed, a group of little elves suddenly appeared.
They brought the correct child, set it on the hearth, and took the changeling away back to there home."he said the story very realisticly gesturing with his hands.
"that was neat!"bouncing up and down.
"Calm down and go to sleep"he said covering you with your blanket smiling,making you yawn again.Snuggling into the covers you felt him kiss your forehead.
"Guten nacht"he whispered
"Guten nacht"you said drifting off into a peaceful sleep.

Wolf Shaman's New Tattoo by Wolf-ShamanWatch
©2005-2016 Wolf-Shaman
Cool! It's neat that you have a tattoo with all that significance attached to it.
I've been wanting to get this tattoo for a while. It represents a personal/spiritual landmark for me. back in the summer of '03, I had a huge Therian Denyal attack that left me just short of a complete mental breakdown. But in the end, I was still a Therian, and have come to fully accept what I am. I also owe part of it to one of my good friends. She helped calm me down and get my head back on strait. So I got this hoping that I'll see it and remember, so I dont have to go through that whole experiance ever again lmao.

Mersana Therapeutics, Inc. has entered into a collaboration with Millennium Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., to develop next-generation Fleximer antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) using Mersana's conjugation technology.
Mersana will receive an upfront payment for the right to use its Fleximer technology and is eligible to receive milestones and royalties on sales of any resulting ADC products. Mersana will be responsible for conducting research and creating ADCs that are conjugates of Takeda's antibodies and Mersana's payload platforms, which combine a cytotoxic payload with the Fleximer polymer and custom linkers. Takeda is responsible for product development, manufacturing and commercialization of any Fleximer-ADC products.
"Collaboration is key to Takeda's business model and is at the root of our success in leading innovation in medicine. Mersana's unique approach to ADCs allows a wide variety of antibody and payload combinations to be investigated," said Christopher Claiborne, Ph.D., head of the Oncology Drug Discovery Unit at Takeda. "We believe that working with Mersana and investigating Fleximer-ADCs in oncology, one of Takeda's core therapeutic areas, will strengthen our leadership and experience in developing and bringing innovative ADC therapeutics to patients worldwide."
"Mersana has a pattern of successful collaborations with industry leaders, in which we have quickly advanced several Fleximer-ADC candidates through research and preclinical development," said Eva M. Jack, Mersana's chief business officer. "Mersana's proprietary Fleximer technology offers a new and highly differentiated approach to creating ADC therapeutics, and we look forward to working with Takeda to develop novel Fleximer-ADC candidates."

AngelsWin publishes the deepest prospect guide each year, and this year the guys really like the organization's relievers:
- 5. Jordan Walden
- 15. Steve Geltz
- 16. Daniel Tillman
- 18. Jeremy Berg
- 22. Eddie McKiernan
- 26. Chris Scholl
- 32. John Hellweg
Tillman in particular could quickly rise to an eighth- or ninth-inning role. AW: "Over the years, one of the hardest comments to get from an Angels' coach or scout is whether or not a person is a "future closer" for the team. At most, they will talk about the closer's mentality and the closer's makeup and the possibility of closing. When former Angels Scouting Director Eddie Bane was asked in August about Tillman's future, and whether or not he could be a future closer, Eddie said 'He has been outstanding for Kotchman. Closer would and should be his goal, but if we could get him to setup say Jordan Walden in the future that would be great.'"

I returned the item. It was nor described correctly. The brown "distressed" chunks on the cream paint looked awful and the description did not say anything at all about it being distressed!!!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Poorly-I could not tell it was distressed with brown chunks on the cream paint
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. fair
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Not at all because it did not say distressed
Based on prior reviews,furniture brand,price and picture thought this would be a nice chest. It is pretty at first glance but after closer examination is very poor quality. Narrow is nice and front legs set on rug so no worry of tipping. MDF shows through in curves on top and is very rough finish. After a month in my home the drawers will no longer close and I keep seeing more flaws. Definitely not worth the price. This is my second order that I have been dissatisfied with and there will not be a third.
Chest is nice. It tips forward, so you either have to anchor it to the wall (hardware included) or prop up the front legs. There is a slight smell inside, which should eventually fade.
it really is not very deep. top drawers are pretty much just good for holding a last minute brush or pencil and paper to use before you run out the door. cabinet is good for storing small books. good for a narrow hallway. the reason i would not recommend this is mostly because of the price. after searching the sales, and there have been quite a few with the economy the way it is, of our local furniture stores i probably could have gotten this for the same or less. overstock does not tell you who the manufacturer is but i will. it is made by Pulaski furniture corp.
I absolutely love this piece of furniture, too bad there aren't other pieces to go with it, for example a china cupboard would really be wonderful. I would highly recommend anyone to buy this buffet chest.
I love, love, love this chest. It's just beautiful no assembly required!!! It's perfect for my Country French décor. I am very pleased with it.
A beautiful piece of furniture. More butter than cream with a tinge of green , I am very pleased. Would order again? Yes.

These sad but useful idiots within our population love to argue in the name of the state, constantly claiming that the ongoing restrictions of our individual freedoms and constitutional rights are "for the greater good" of our society as a whole. They insist that even though the political measures being taken in the U.S. today are almost identical to those implemented in communist police states, this time "things will be different". This time, the collectivists will "get it right". Not surprising, though, is the fact that the vast majority of those that call for rights restrictions and socialized mega-government have never actually lived under the kind of system they are demanding. They have absolutely NO idea what it is really like, nor do they ever attempt to learn from those who comprehend full well.
Some people know. Some people have lived it. Some people have experienced the consequences first hand. And, for anyone with the intelligence to listen, this is what they have to say about gun control and the path to tyranny...

KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Nationals reliever Henry Rodriguez, held out of yesterday's game due to elbow soreness, is scheduled to pitch tonight against the Astros, manager Davey Johnson said.
Rodriguez met with Johnson yesterday and told his manager the elbow soreness he'd been feeling wasn't a product of pitching, but rather stretching in the trainer's room.
"It doesn't bother him to throw, it just bothers him stretching," Johnson said. "They do a lot of stuff in there when they're stretching, so he's sore. Every time I go in there, they stretch me and I'm sore. I computed that in, and he says he's fine."
After surgery last summer to remove bone chips from his right elbow, Rodriguez still lags behind the rest of the Nationals' relief corps. He was held back early in camp but has ramped up his work recently and appeared in five games in nine days from March 14-22.
Overall, the erratic right-hander has pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on two hits, seven walks and two hit batters.
Johnson said he'd like to get Rodriguez into three of the Nationals' remaining five exhibition games before Opening Day.
"He missed half the season and then missed winter ball," the manager said. "A lot of that is just catch-up. And a power arm, it takes a lot longer to get to where you've built up what I call a base, so you feel like you can throw maximum speed without maximum effort. A lot of times it takes all of spring for them get there, and consequently their command suffers. But I think he's a lot closer."

Army issues St. Patrick's Day safety message
March 11, 2009
By USACRSC

FORT RUCKER, Ala. (Army News Service, March 11, 2009) - The U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center is joining the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in efforts to help keep roads safe this St. Patrick's Day by encouraging Soldiers, civilians and their family members to drink responsibly and designate a sober driver before heading to the local festivities or pub.
Over the past five years, the Army has lost three Soldiers on this holiday, March 17, to motor vehicle crashes.
According to the NHTSA, 851 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes nation-wide on St. Patrick's day over the last five years, of which, 327 involved a drunk driver or motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher.
"St. Patrick's Day is a time to celebrate Irish heritage and gather with friends and family, but it can quickly end in tragedy due to impaired driving," said Command Sgt. Maj. Tod Glidewell of the USACR/Safety Center. "You wouldn't leave a buddy pinned down under enemy fire in Iraq, so don't leave a buddy pinned down sitting at the end of a bar in hometown America."
NHTSA recommends the following tips:
-- Plan a safe way home before celebrations begin.
-- Designate a sober driver before any drinking begins.
-- If impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation.
-- Consider using the community's Sober Rides program.
-- If a drunk driver is seen on the road, don't hesitate to contact local law enforcement.
-- And if someone is about to drive or ride their motorcycle while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.
"Driving while impaired or riding with someone who is impaired is not the right thing to do," said Glidewell. "If you plan on drinking, have a plan and designate a sober driver. Remember we are a Band of Brothers and Sisters, on and off the battlefield, and need to look after each other."
According to NHTSA research, impaired driving remains one of America's deadliest problems.
In 2007, 12,998 people were killed in motor vehicle accidents that involved at least one driver or motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher.

The binary format we developed is based on a tokenized stream of records and a few Huffman-like coding strategies. Each record starts with a one byte record type value. The record type byte is then followed by binary content of variable format and size based on the type. Each record in the stream of records translates into a document fragment. By concatenating all of the fragments produced from the record stream together we can obtain a document based on the original XML infoset. It's relatively simple compared to many binary XML formats while still being highly expressive.
