Overpackaged as are (nearly) all Burberry products, this foundation comes in a plexi bottle with a great big cap. These caps are useful for small collections of lip and eye pencils, but when I keep them on their bottles, they frankly drive me nuts. To think I'm spending an extra $5 just for these plastic things... also drives me nuts.
That gripe aside, this is a nice water-based foundation that one can sheer out even further by mixing with Burb's Glow, a combination blur primer and moisturizer I truly love (or you can probably substitute Becca or Murad similar products). I can use any of three colors, depending on which shade of my face or neck I feel like matching.
Trench 203 is the early version (with parabens) of the new color #___ called Rosy Nude.
Trench 205 is the early version (with paragons) of the new color #27, Beige.
Trench 206 is the early version (with parabens) of the new color #___, Nude Ochre.

Because of the colder months, I was looking for something that would sooth my skin rather than emphasize my dry patches and this fit the bill perfectly. This gives a healthy glow without being overly shiny, and as soon as I put it on, I received many nice compliments-- someone even asked if it was a result of a juice cleanse (ppfffth I do not have that kind of will power). I was a 201 in the Velvet foundation and it matches up to the shade Trench 1 in this foundation (about NC15-20). It has less coverage than the Velvet but still covers a fair amount while still letting your skin breathe. Have yet to try anything bad from Burberry!

Well I finally found my HG foundation after going between others such as Chanel vitalumiere aqua (poor staying power) Armani luminous silk (turns my face greasy after a few hours) Bourjois happy light (still my favourite every day foundation).. HOWEVER they are discontinuing this in favour of the new fresh glow foundation. Why Burberry WHY!? I have spoken to a couple of Burberry sales assistants and none of them are happy about this! The new foundation has very sheer coverage that will only suit those with perfect skin (surely there is room for 3 foundations in their range!?) and the colour range is very poor. When wearing fake tan, the 2nd colour in the range was too dark so there is no hope for paler ladies finding a match! Back to the foundation then.... It is stunning. Light/medium buildable coverage which looks so stunning and natural. It has a luminous healthy finish, definitely not shiny! I apply with my RT buffing brush and it makes my skin look incredible and airbrushed! Yes it is expensive (extra expensive as I am having to stock up on my shade before it sells out) but I am happy to pay that for my HG foundation. The lasting power is great, I only powder around my nose, chin and forehead as I have combination skin. I have the shade 3 which is a good match for my NC/NW 20-25 skin (it is slightly pink but not too much, it's a good in between shade as I find most lines are either too cool or too warm) I really do hope Burberry decide to bring this foundation back..

while i do like this foundation, i am on the fence about whether i would purchase it again -
the coverage, for me is quite sheer to light-medium, although it does provide a slightly dewy finish, i noticed that as winter approaches i find it accentuating my dry flakes but then again maybe it would perform better if i improved my moisturizing regimen. the texture and smell of the foundation is great, feels luxurious and never sinks into fine lines, is not heavy and doesnt feel like you're wearing anything so those are major plus points! i do like it, but i dont LOVE it. :)

This is a good (even very good) foundation, but ultimately I would not repurchase because it oxidizes on my face.
Others have described the formula below, but I will add that Burberry does a better job with pale foundation shades than most other non-specialist brands. As someone usually 1/2-2 shades lighter than the palest shade in most drugstore and HE, I was thrilled with the color match for Trench #2. The undertone was peachy and nicely balanced between warm and cool, so it was an excellent match for my neutral skin. The shade was pale enough without making me look chalky or ghostly, and the coverage was sheer but buildable, smooth, and comfortable. I wore this with silicone-based primers underneath and Burberry's pressed powder on top for my wedding, and it photographed brilliantly. I was very pleased with how my makeup came out that day, and 80% of it came from the Burberry counter.
However, regardless of the primer I used underneath, within 10 minutes of application the formula would begin to oxidize along my jaw, forehead, and cheeks, making it look like I was wearing either too much bronzer or the wrong shade of foundation. It still looked like the right color in the sunlight and in photos, but indoors I could clearly see that the color had changed - my forehead is oily but my cheeks and jawline are dry, so I am at a loss to explain it. I had a SA actually squeal when it happened before her eyes because she had never seen it happen so quickly before. Since she was the brand rep, it sounds like my experience was an anomaly, but I still can't rate this foundation a 5 because of it.
I kept the foundation for a few years and took it out occasionally to try with different products underneath, but always with the same result, and within the last year I threw it away in a purge.
I should also mention that, while the scent does not last, it is surprisingly strong, as are the matching powders and blushes - a rose/iris scent that I do not find offensive but would still prefer not to have at all. Those who are very sensitive to fragrance should bear this in mind.
If you have normal to dry, fair skin, this range is absolutely worth your consideration. If you have trouble with other foundations oxidizing easily on your skin, as I do, give this product a pass.

I was given a few samples of this foundation, the good thing is, this product has a skin like finish, covers flaws & looks natural. BUT .....
with such modern package, this liquid is laced with this awful sweet floral yester-century fragrance, its like rubbing perfume on the face.
Thank goodness I have other foundation that does equally good for me, around the same price range. If it is not for this gawd-awful smell, I would buy this in a heart beat.
Are these manufacturers in their right mind?

Why is this foundation so under rated!!! Cause for me i think i finally found my HG foundation !! First off the price i guess its 52$ in the US which is pricy but i live in Saudi Arabia and here it costed me SAR 209 which i feel is not that bad for a Burberry foundation. My shade is nc 30 - 35 in mac and i was matched to trench no.3 which suits me perfectly. The coverage IMO is a medium to full coverage and that is suprizing cause it says sheer foundation but its not. Its lasts a good 6-7 hours (without powder) and it can last even more with it. The best thing about this foundation is that it does not cling to my dry paches, i have dry skin and previously i was using the mac studio fix fluid which used to dry me out like crazy !!! So my hunt for a foundation began and i ended up buying this one :) from the moment the lady on the counter tried this on me it felt so hydrating and moisturizing as if i just drank 4 glasses of water !! i just loved the finish it gave me and the overall look of the foundation after 10 mins of setting was amazing. The finish is so beautiful and luminious that i never feel like powdering it i prefer wearing it on its own. I would highly recommend this foundation to anyone with dry skin i don't know how will it work with oily skin i suggest you to try it out before you buy it so you know exactly weather you like it or not :)

The past 2 years I have been coming back to this one. It is so light I forget I wear makeup but it has a great buildable coverage. I love love love that healthy glow it leaves on the skin and the actual flawless finish I get! My shade is trench #4 which is a great match for me. The only disappointing thing for me (except the price...) is that it is not very stable. It goes easily to my clothes and phone even with a setting powder.
Overall, I think I'd feel insecure without this in my makeup kit. Still searching for the p e r f e c t foundation though!

Enjoy guide Rose Ann Rowlett's slideshow of beautiful images from one of our tours, with photos from her own collection as well as from Richard Webster and several participants. And read about the discovery in Borneo of a new species of flowerpecker by Richard and Rose Ann in this PDF file from the Oriental Bird Club's BirdingASIA publication.
LAST SPACES NOTEOnly one space remains open on our Feb 27, 2018 departure.
From a naturalist's viewpoint, Borneo is one of the richest places on Earth. Its lowland rainforest is not only the oldest and among the most diverse, but the tallest as well. Towering above these ancient dipterocarp forests to more than 13,000 feet is majestic Mt. Kinabalu, the highest mountain between the Himalayas and New Guinea and the upper tip of the largest batholith on Earth. Its montane forests support a mix of species of Himalayan, Australasian, and tropical affinities--oaks, eucalypts, magnolias, rhododendrons, figs, ferns, pitcher plants, and orchids of incredible diversity.
Borneo's fauna is equally diverse in form, from "flying" frogs, "flying" lizards, and "flying" squirrels to Proboscis Monkeys, Orangutans, and Bornean Pygmy Elephants. Its birds include a host of rare and little-known endemics, from the bizarre Bornean Bristlehead (a monotypic family) and the monotypic Fruit-hunter to shy pittas and wren-babblers and the dazzling Whitehead's Trogon. The forests ring with the calls of hornbills, barbets, broadbills, babblers, and bulbuls, sometimes joined by the haunting hollering of gibbons. The diversity of birds is surpassed only in lowland Amazonia; the beauty of the avifauna is unsurpassed!
Our tour will focus on three prime areas in the northeastern state of Sabah: the Kinabatangan River, Borneo Rainforest Lodge in the Danum Valley, and Kinabalu Park. We'll have time to enjoy not only a high proportion of the 48 endemic birds, but a plethora of more widespread birds and other wildlife of classic Asian affinities.

It is inevitable that the majority of students will enter that black abyss of banking when the only money you have are the monopoly notes in the unused board game tucked under the bed.
The overdraft is a bittersweet thing; it gives you a lovely amount of 'free' money to fund a fantastic university lifestyle, whether it be paying for the basics, making you believe you can afford that (frankly, overpriced) Dominos or buy a new item of clothing.
You convince yourself you will pay it back, however after convincing yourself you're Santa Claus and being over-generous on Christmas presents and/or paying the house deposit, many students come to the realisation that they are in a continuous battle with that dreaded minus sign at the ATM.
A penultimate year student from Loughborough University says: "I realised I was in trouble after my first year of university. Going into July in my overdraft, with the prospect of having to pay over £350 rent for my university house over the summer months, scared me to death. I had a summer job, but in order to pay rent, my monthly phone bill and to afford the higher prices in the south, I had to borrow off my parents, which I felt guilty for and was worried I wouldn't be able to pay back for a while."
So, how do you get out of your overdraft? It should be easy and/or obvious – earn money, get a job. However, in some university cities or towns there are only so many bars, waitressing and retail jobs around, and many places do not allow students to work there due to their term-time constraints. After talking to students from a variety of universities, here are a list of jobs which you may not have thought of, or not know how to apply for.
Alumni telethon fundraiser
The role involves calling graduates of your university for charitable donations towards the University Fund. It is usually well paid (in Bristol and Reading the pay is over £7 an hour), runs during term-time and in the evenings, so when you're not at lectures! It is mostly advertised direct from your university homepage, the Students' Union or careers centre.
University ambassadors
Remember when you came to look around your chosen university? The student helpers were there to give tours or answer questions, and many were getting paid! Although a lot of departments may advertise for volunteers to promote the course, the university is likely to pay people to work many other events as well as open days, and at a nice rate.
This can be on an ad-hoc basis. Nottingham has been known to advertise events for anyone to apply, with no previous or further commitment required. However, Loughborough runs a 'Students Helping Students' scheme, where those interested in taking part in such days, giving talks or running tours, will be put onto a database and can apply to work the days that coincide with free time. Look on your careers page or contacting marketing/promotions may give you a nudge in the right direction.
University hall caterers
For those in catered halls in their first (and possibly second) year, you will know that there a lot of people controlling meal times and helping things run smoothly. Feeding so many is a big task, and plenty of staff from cooks to cleaners may be made up from students. Contact your catering provider, for example eatwithUS at University of Sheffield, or your halls of residence for more information.
Marketing assistant
Every university will hold some sort of careers fair, invite businesses to give talks or have them host 'experience days'. When these companies come onto campus, everything needs to be organised well, as making them feel comfortable is vital to ensure they will visit again. Students can be employed to assist in the smooth running of these days, from promoting the event, arranging rooms and furniture and ordering in food and drink, to just being on hand during the day if they have any questions. The careers centre and marketing/promoting departments usually advertise these sorts of jobs.
Student brand ambassadors
Probably one of the most well-known jobs is that of a Brand Ambassador. Organisations employ students to broadcast their product or service to the student population. It generally offers some good perks such as freebies, a less structured work schedule which means it's flexible around your studies, and the variety of businesses that employ SBAs are vast. From Microsoft to Linklaters, Red Bull and even our own 'i' newspaper, there are several to choose from.
This site is a valuable place to look for ideas of what companies are hiring. Following on Twitter wouldn't go a miss either, as many jobs are advertised via social media in this line of work.

I did get out last week to shop for curtain fabric. There certainly are some lovely ones out there. I didn't find what I wanted at that first store though I will continue and see what else I can find.
I am nearing the end of the second version of the pink doily. It is looking a bit larger. Won't know for sure till I am finished and I pin it out. At this point I am ready to begin the 3 last row. My mom is looking forward to being gifted with these.
What are you up to? Is it still hot and sunny at your place or has the rain descended making it more desirable to remain inside.
Sarah at Lit and Laundry is already working ahead. She has started a scary Halloween project. Be sure to visit and check it out.

Hello blogger. Occasionally, Rickey likes to take a peek at what some of the other folks in his inner sanctum sanctorum are up to. Make no mistake, it is a heady honor if you have secured yourself a spot on to the RwR blogroll, because with it comes the increased likelihood that Rickey will occasionally stop by your blog, see what you're up to, and report back to his readers on your current activities, be they un-American as they may. Never mind the fact that half of you fuckwits spell Rickey's name without an 'e' on your blogrolls, we're paying you lip service anyway. It's a tried and true method of networking, heckling, and possibly even collecting on one's debts (Rickey doesn't care that the Colts were a lock, pay up deadbeats!) The theory here is that Rickey read it, and well, maybe you should too.
Last week, fellow blogger and armchair economist Mike unleashed an epic movie post, something worthy of Cecil Demille himself, the sort of thing that first drew Rickey to Mike's blog a few years back. Behold: his Friday Silly Movie of My Youth of the Day. His mind crackling like the main character in "A Beautiful Mind," Mike draws elaborate connections that you, the average moviegoer are woefully incapable of. Rickey would tell Mike to keep these awesome posts coming, but who is Rickey to talk since it's been a fortnight since we've last seen a "Rickey Recommends" post? Ahem.
The folks at Around the Keg have brewed up a "best of" column that lists some of the more superior blog posts from their favorite sites, entitled the Keg Stand Awards. And hey, wouldn't you know it, Rickey is in there! Fancy that: borderline alcoholics love Rickey!
Speaking of awards, Diesel, he of Mattress Police, managed to get himself nominated for a Weblog Award. Normally, Rickey only tells you to vote for important stuff (see Obama, Barack, Nov 2008) but in this case we think we're justified in loosening the standards just a bit. This Diesel guy writes some damned funny stuff and him potentially winning could mean trickle down fame for Rickey as well. So go vote for the guy, if for no other reason than to solidify Rickey's status as an internet sucker fish (a remora, if you will) glomming on to the larger and much more popular sharks.
The reliably cantankerous Mr. Furious has amassed his own "best of" list for 2008, The Year in Review Review, a hodge podge of some of his favorite findings from around the web. Rickey's favorite is undoubtedly the Hitler meme video, which triggered a hilarious burst of outrage from a newbie in the comments section. Come on, who doesn't love shaky hands Hitler? The guy's a laugh riot! Besides, if Mel Brooks has taught us anything (see Saddles, Blazing) isn't it that laughter is the best way of dampening even the greatest of evils?
Rickey cruised over to Toasty Joe's website recently (previously known as "Yes Joe It's Toasted" until Willie Randolph's late night axing) and was saddened to see no new activity whatsoever. Wait, hold on, Rickey thought he saw something... no, wait, that's just the wind. Rickey thinks Toasty should get back in the game. In fact, Rickey's starting an internet campaign. Rickey will call it "The Rolling Toast Gathers No Lox." (Fuck you, memes don't have to make sense!) Everyone go over to Toasty Joe's website IMMEDIATELY and heckle him in the comments section until he starts blogging again. If that doesn't work, we're starting up a Facebook group petitioning him to blog. This will either be of great annoyance to Toasty or promote a blogging renaissance on his part. Either way, it'll be fun, and the world needs more witty Mets bloggers. Dispatch yourselves posthaste!
Rickey doesn't have a lot of female blogging compatriots on the blogroll. Apparently the gals don't take kindly to Rickey's frontier era opinions on gender roles. Or his repeated use of the word "cocksuckery." But since we're pining for a well rounded blog network, let's give a little love to Haley, author of Missionless Statement. She's prolific, she's crafty, she's witty, and she puts up with the misbegotten madman we're about to mention below.
Meanwhile, Adam, Haley's significant other (yes, they're an item, in case you couldn't tell by their lovey dovey display in the comments section yesterday) has kicked it into high gear over at The Jack Sack. More than just a little excited for Season 7 of "24," he's gone apeshit in recent days with a plethora of posts. There is a seething underworld of bloggers who obsessively write about this show, and if watching Kiefer Sutherland seriously lose his marbles, torture the bejeezus out of people, and whisper angrily is your sort of thing, then this is the website for you. Be on the look out for a guest post from Rickey over there in the coming days in which attempts to temper everyone's irrationally high expectations for the new season of "24" (because we are taught that if nothing else, the internet is a haven for anonymous jackasses to suck the joy out of things).
Wrapping things up is George of I'm Not One to Blog, But... Chances are, if George isn't posting pictures of his greyhound, then he's talking about music. And man can the guy talk about music. Yesterday he cast aside words altogether and tossed up a video of a dude sitting in a of wheat strumming on an acoustic guitar. Simple, soulful stuff. The artist's name is Eric Bachmann and he's a shining example that there's still great music being created--you just have to dig a little harder to find it. Oh we're sorry, does a folk singer playing guitar in a field of grass not do it for you? Don't worry, we're sure the techno cover set to the beat of the "numa numa" song is coming soon. Schmuck.
And that's it for this inaugural installment of the column. We'll bring it back when further blog posts catch Rickey's ever watchful eye which deem themselves worthy of mention.

Thanks for the shout out--and you heard it here first, I'm changing the name of my blog to "We Gotta Flip It Over and Slide It in There."

Voice and Mobility: Enabling the visible supply chain
Our Technology Correspondent offers an in-depth look at how voice and mobility are driving speed and efficiency inside today's more automated, multi-functional distribution operations.
in the News
State of Logistics 2016: Pursue mutual benefit ATA reports sharp decrease in Q4 truckload driver turnover rate Challenges remain in store for shippers, says FTR SCI report Florida East Coast Railway to be acquired by Grupo Mexico Cat Lift Trucks awards $5,000 scholarship to high school student More NewsSharply focused on the orchestration of processes and making sure directions are followed to a "T," today's warehouse and distribution center (DC) managers rely on technology to verify that their facilities run like well-oiled machines. Over the last few years, voice and mobility have emerged as two of the most valuable technology tools for managers and their employees, and in doing so have fused yet one more link on the growing "visible supply chain."
David Krebs, vice president of enterprise mobility and connected devices at VDC Research, keeps close tabs on the adoption of both voice and mobility in the warehouse and DC. Right now, he says voice is primarily being used for picking applications in an industry like grocery, where high-volume picking and packing is the name of the game. "At this point," says Krebs, "voice is really for hands-free picking applications."
Mobility, on the other hand, is ubiquitous in the typical DC. There, goals like optimizing "perfect orders" (those that are fulfilled, shipped, and delivered correctly and on time) and reducing idle work hours are achieved through the use of mobile devices, rugged hand-held equipment, Wi-Fi, and the web. As more warehouses are asked to support concepts like omni-channel retailing—creating a seamless consumer buying experience across mobile devices, computers, bricks-and-mortar, and catalog—the need for mobility, and the supply chain visibility it creates, has grown exponentially.
"To do that, logistics operations are deploying a greater variety of data collection technology that incorporates voice, traditional barcode, RFID, and location technologies."
Over the next few pages we'll take an in-depth look at how voice and mobility are being put to use inside today's warehouse and DC operations through the eyes of top analysts and vendors who are in the trenches, watching the evolution of the visible supply chain.
Doing the dirty work
It's been years since the grocery industry decided that it no longer wanted to "get its hands dirty, picking through boxes," says Joe Vernon, warehouse management systems (WMS) practice leader at consulting firm Capgemini.
Since then, the notion of using technology to do this dirty work has spread to many other industries. As the trend picked up speed, technology vendors caught on to the need and began making equipment, devices, and software designed to support the fully mobilized warehouse—or, at least one that employs as much mobile technology as possible.
Today, Vernon says that one would be hard pressed to find a warehouse or distribution center that doesn't rely on at least some form of mobile technology to receive, process, store, inventory, and ship its products. "It's become a mainstream option—from the front to the back of the warehouse," says Vernon.
In some instances, the technology works so well that users don't want to give up their existing systems in lieu of newer, state-of-the-art voice-based options. "Radio frequency (RF) technology is still delivering a lot of value," says Vernon. "When you try to pitch someone on voice-based loading, very often the answer is: 'I have 50 devices that are working, why do I need more?'"
Another issue that's holding shippers back from making mobility investments is the fact that devices aren't necessarily made to take the abuse of the warehouse environment. After all, the odds that a device may be dropped out of a forklift or accidentally placed under a heavy box are very good in that setting.
"Devices that come down to the warehouse floor have to be industrialized," says Vernon, who points to the iPad as an example of a useful device that wouldn't survive a 10-foot fall from a lift truck. "It's a nice device and interface, but the iPad has to be industrialized before it can be used in the warehouse. Warehouse managers need to understand that before they push non-rugged into certain applications."
The vendor perspective
With technology advancing at the speed of light, and with new voice and mobility innovations hitting the market on a daily basis, product and solutions providers must have their fingers on the pulse of the shippers who are purchasing and using their products.
At Voxware, a developer of voice-picking software, President and CEO Keith Phillips says that his team is seeing strong demand for voice applications in the warehouse. Citing industry statistics, Phillips estimates that voice penetration in the supply chain is at about 20 percent right now. Breaking down the market into thirds (large, midsized, and small enterprises), Phillips says voice usage among large enterprises is probably closer to 60 percent to 70 percent.
In most instances, Phillips says that technology costs are the inhibitors when it comes to the midsized and smaller users. He doesn't see that obstacle going away anytime soon. In fact, voice devices continue to fetch a retail price that is upwards of $2,000 to $3,000.
"As a software company we don't control those prices," says Phillips, "but watching them retreat is kind of like watching the polar ice cap move." To offset those costs, software firms have started offering cloud-based models that allow users to get their voice systems up and running without a large, upfront capital payment. "This has helped tremendously," says Phillips. "More than 80 percent of our new customers are using the cloud."
Warehouse and DC mangers are also finding innovative new uses for voice. At Pittsburgh-based voice solution developer Vocollect, Jay Armant, vice president of product management, says that functions like cycle counting, receiving, shipping, reverse logistics, and auditing are all being handled by voice.
These additions complement the usual lineup of voice-related activities, which typically include enabling, picking, or selecting workflows and processes. "Logistics professionals want to gain additional value and benefit improvements within the four walls of the distribution center, and one way they can achieve those efficiencies is by expanding their use of voice to non-traditional areas of the DC," adds Armant.
What's ahead?
Based on his research into technology penetrations, shippers' technology needs, and shipping market trends, Krebs says that, overall, "the fundamentals are good to very good going forward when it comes to voice and mobility usage in the warehouse."
Krebs points to innovations like Google Glass as one driver of voice usage, noting that while the product wasn't made for warehouse usage, the very idea of "wearables" and "hands-free operations" can be applied across many different industries and applications. "These are some interesting concepts that I think warehouse workers could benefit from down the road," Krebs says.
Capgemini's Vernon expects voice and mobility equipment makers to come out with even more innovative products—all with the goal of "driving more devices into people's hands." To logistics operations that are considering a more mobile and voice-enabled warehouse and DC, or looking to upgrade and existing systerm, Vernon says careful selection and research is necessary during this era of unbridled technological innovation.
Dwight Klappich, research vice president for research firm Gartner, sees more growth ahead for both voice—which he says is mature, but not ubiquitous in the warehouse and DC—and mobility—both mature and ubiquitous.
Klappich says that the pathway from using ruggedized devices to employing handheld smartphones and other types of smaller, cheaper mobile equipment is currently being carved out. "We could see a move to mobile technology for voice, particularly if ruggedized device prices stay high," says Klappich. "In fact, if the equipment manufacturers don't start lowering their prices they're going to lose out to the iPhone."

I Could Make You Care
this wiki
The Brotherhood is failing. I've always known that. If we don't change course, we're going to fall apart or... fade away.
"— Veronica SantangeloI Could Make You Care is a companion quest in Fallout: New Vegas.
Quick walkthroughEdit
Side Quest: I Could Make You Care | |||||||||||||||||||||
Get the quest to begin by recruiting Veronica and activating three of the nine triggers listed below. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Veronica will ask the player to go to Hidden Valley, as she has something she needs to do. Agree to go. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Visit the Elder in charge, either McNamara or Hardin, depending on whether the player has finished Still in the Dark and the outcome of that quest. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Veronica will try to convince the Elder that the Brotherhood needs to grow and change. The Elder will not be interested. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Veronica will ask the player to help her find some data or technology that will help her convince the Elder. She will suggest going to one of her old mentor Elijah's data terminals. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The terminal is in Gibson's shack, near the Gibson scrap yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The player and Veronica will find data on three interesting technologies, only one of which is necessary to continue the quest. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Euclid's C-Finder & Archimedes II: | New farming technology: | Pulse gun: | |||||||||||||||||||
Complete That Lucky Old Sun and divert the power to Archimedes II. Note that it is not necessary to activate Archimedes I, the base-protection technology that will kill the NCR soldiers. | Complete There Stands the Grass and do not allow Keely to delete the data. Make sure to leave with a copy of the data in the player's Pip-Boy. | (Optional) The player can obtain the key to the box containing the pulse gun from a filing cabinet in Pearl's barracks at Nellis Air Force Base. The key must be stolen, which results in a Karma loss. This removes the requirement of picking a Very Hard (100) lock. | |||||||||||||||||||
Obtain Euclid's C-Finder from Max in Freeside. It can be taken while he sleeps, bought for 1,000 caps (or at 20 caps with 45 Barter), or pickpocketed. | If you've already collected the data prior to starting this portion of the quest and haven't returned it to Dr. Hildern; then the quest will update and tell you to go to Elder McNamara. | The player needs to go to Vault 34 and eventually open the overseer's office, and unlock the armory door. In the armory is the very hard locked box with the pulse gun. | |||||||||||||||||||
Detailed walkthroughEdit
Initiating the questEdit
This quest is triggered by Veronica seeing things around the Mojave that cause her to question the wisdom of the Brotherhood of Steel remaining hidden underground and not interacting with the world. There are nine triggered conversations throughout the Mojave Wasteland that Veronica will initiate in response to nine different situations she and the Courier may encounter together. Note that you will only need to complete three of the conversations to activate this quest. Some of them can only be triggered by lines of dialogue that only happen once, so if the player has already heard that line before recruiting Veronica, the trigger won't occur. Note that there are three triggers that can never go away - the main doors at Camp McCarran terminal building, the entrance ramp of Vault 3, and traveling near Nelson or Cottonwood Cove. The Boomer museum trigger can be activated even if the player has already heard the tour, but not if Pete and the Boomers are hostile.
Note: If she doesn't initiate the listed conversation, it may initiate if the player talks to her via companion wheel or waits 30 seconds or so. There is a delay in the conversation trigger, and it won't trigger if the player is in conversation with someone else. Along with other companion quests, a recent patch has made activating the quest easier- in this instance 2 activations are required. You may also try to sit in a chair one or two times and that could trigger the conversation.
Here are the nine triggers, and the things Veronica says:
- Casa Madrid Apartments - The trigger is some of Tom Anderson's lines. Specifically, the line, "I'm with the Followers of the Apocalypse...," (responding to the question, "What do you do here?"), and all of his lines confessing to the murder of Corporal White (part of the quest The White Wash). All of these lines are only given once. Veronica contrasts his good cause and lack of resources with the Brotherhood of Steel's incredible resources but lack of a good cause.
- Vault 3 - The trigger area is on the outside, about a third of the way down the ramp to the door. Veronica talks about how the Fiends are giving the NCR more trouble than the Brotherhood ever did. (Veronica states that the fiends are giving the NCR more trouble than the brotherhood despite their lack of power armor and energy weapons, though in reality energy weapons are used by the majority of fiends).
- Nelson/Cottonwood Cove/The Fort - The trigger is the player traveling to one of the locations and staying for 30 seconds or so. The trigger areas are large squares larger than each location, so it may trigger before the player actually sees the place, or while passing through a corner while on the way to another location. The three locations share a single trigger, so going to all of them does not count more than once. Veronica comments on 'ordinary guys with knives and bullets, and they're taking over Nevada'.
- Camp McCarran terminal building, trigger 1 - The trigger area is just inside the terminal building, at the center set of main triple doors or the eastern set of triple doors closest to Colonel Hsu's office. The third set of triple doors on the west side will not trigger the conversation, as there is no trigger zone there. It is not necessary to pass through the doors; just walk very near them on the inside of the terminal. Veronica talks about her surprise at how many NCR troops there are.
- Camp McCarran terminal building, trigger 2 - The trigger is the line, "A pleasure to meet you! I'm Dr. Thomas Hildern..." This line only happens when the player first meets Hildern. Veronica talks about the NCR investing in new research, unlike the Brotherhood. Alternatively, walking around the first floor and walking near the location of Dr Hildern can also cause a trigger.
- Nellis Air Force Base, the Nellis Boomer museum - The player just needs to listen to Pete's lecture in front of the mural. The trigger is the last line of his speech. Veronica remarks on the similarities between the Boomers and the Brotherhood of Steel.
- Old Mormon Fort - The trigger is Julie Farkas's line, "Are you here to drop off medical supplies? ..." which only happens the first time the player meets her. Veronica is impressed with the work they're doing. Some people have been able to trigger Veronica's dialogue in the Old Mormon Fort even after the player has already met Farkas. Try talking with doctors around the camp.
- REPCONN test site - The trigger is Jason Bright's line, "We wish to escape the barbarity of the wasteland..." which is his response to the first question about the "Great Journey." This line is only given once. Veronica compares Jason Bright to her old mentor, Elijah.
- Silver Rush - The triggers are Gloria Van Graff's greeting "Welcome to the Silver Rush..." and her line "Please let me know if anything catches your eye." which is the response to the player saying, "I'm just browsing." Some of these lines will not happen during certain stages of Birds of a Feather. Veronica comments on all the energy weapons.
Some events may force the quest to start at a later stage, even if three of the above triggers haven't happened.
- Hidden Valley - Have Veronica open the bunker door after having armed Archimedes II during That Lucky Old Sun and having separately obtained Euclid's C-Finder. (Confirmed Xbox, PS3,& PC: The quest will start with "Bring the rangefinder to the elder" but you can do the quest normally.)
- The quest can sometimes be activated without having Veronica in the party, by picking up the rangefinder after meeting Veronica, and knowing about the Hidden Valley. However, the quest will not continue further without Veronica.
Acquiring the technologyEdit
- The player and Veronica will find data on three interesting technologies, only one of which is necessary to continue the quest.
- Option 1: Euclid's C-Finder & Archimedes II:
Note: If the player has already completed That Lucky Old Sun without diverting power to Archimedes II, this option cannot be completed. It also appears that if That Lucky Old Sun has been completed at all and/or the player has obtained Euclid's C-Finder, choosing this option during this quest may lead to glitches. Also, if the player obtains the Euclid's C-Finder but the quest has not yet been initiated, this can provide a quick shortcut to the end of the quest.- Obtain Euclid's C-Finder from Max in Freeside. It can be stolen from him while he is sleeping , bought for 1,000 caps (or at 20 caps with 45 Barter), or pickpocketed.
- Option 2: New farming technology:
- If There Stands the Grass has been completed at all, choosing this option may lead to glitches. A workaround exists, see Fixes section (PC only).
- If not already done, complete There Stands the Grass and do not allow Keely to delete the data. Make sure to leave with a copy of the data in the player's Pip-boy.
- If you've already collected the data prior to starting this portion of the quest and haven't returned it to Dr. Hildern; then the quest will update and tell you to go to Elder McNamara.
- Option 3: pulse gun:
- (Optional) The player can obtain the key to the box containing the pulse gun from a filing cabinet in Pearl's barracks at Nellis Air Force Base. The cabinet is the rightmost of a pair standing to the left of her desk. The key to it must be stolen, which results in a Karma loss. This removes the requirement of picking a Very Hard (100) lock.
- The player needs to go to Vault 34 and eventually open the overseer's office, and unlock the armory door. In the armory is the very hard locked box with the pulse gun.
- On an unpatched game, the pulse gun may sometimes be purchased from the Silver Rush, or may be carried by higher-level Fiends. This was fixed in the first patch.
- Should you already have gone through Vault 34, you may have picked up the Pulse Gun from the Armory there already. Even if you have done so, the quest will not update for this until you have it in your inventory.
- Note that at any time while doing Options 1 or 2, the player can go get the key from Nellis Air Force Base or the pulse gun from Vault 34 and switch to Option 3; it's not necessary to talk to Veronica and explicitly switch paths.
- Note: Switching is always possible by going back to the comm station and re-downloading the information as this will prompt a dialogue with Veronica enabling you to choose a different path.
The Brotherhood is not pleasedEdit
- Return to the Elder. Veronica will show him the technology. He will remain unconvinced.
- Veronica will ask the player's opinion about whether she should stay in the Brotherhood or leave. The player can choose for her, or can tell her it is her choice, in which case she will stay.
- Veronica will want to go outside to get some air. Outside will be a team of Brotherhood of Steel paladins who are angry at Veronica and the player for spreading subversive ideas. The player must deal with them in one of the following ways:
- If Veronica decided to leave the Brotherhood:
- The player tells them so, and they let Veronica leave, but tell Veronica never to come back. (There's an optional 95 Speech check here [rewards no XP for passing it], but it has essentially the same outcome.)
- Note that attacking the paladins at this point will fail the quest and make Veronica leave.
- If Veronica decided to stay in the Brotherhood, the paladins are not so easily dissuaded. The only solutions are:
- Pass a 95 Speech check to get them to leave peacefully (this rewards no XP). As above, killing the paladins after succeeding the check will fail the quest and make Veronica permanently leave the player. This aggressive 'option' has been fixed in v140525 by forcing the player to wait for them to disappear before moving.
- Scare them off with Terrifying Presence, which is only a temporary solution. They will be there every time the player returns to the Hidden Valley bunker until one of the permanent solutions is taken.
- Fast travel before they have a chance to engage you in conversation as soon as you exit the bunker. This method is also temporary, but will give you enough time to get a 95 Speech level or gather supplies for defending against them. After fast traveling away, the player can ask Veronica about finding the other options.
- Talk to them until they turn hostile and attack, then kill them all. The player will not gain infamy with the Brotherhood or lose Veronica's trust by killing them, at least if the paladins shoot first.
- While the load screen is up when exiting the bunker, if the player has a weapon out and holds the trigger button, the paladins will not engage in conversation upon exit, but can be heard asking the player to calm down. It is important to pull and hold the trigger during the load screen, as you do not want to fire on them. You can quickly sidestep them at this point then fast travel from a distance. They will not be hostile, as they have not engaged in conversation to threaten the player. If you stay within a few feet of them, however, they may begin dialogue, so it's important to sidestep them. You can also re-enter the bunker using this strategy, allowing you to dispatch them at your leisure (tested on 360, August 2012).
- Use a Stealth Boy directly after the speech ends with the orders to execute you.
- Approach the speaker Paladin close enough to trigger speech, but far enough to require him to walk to you. Enter the bunker and he will follow alone, and if he attacks first, the rest of the Brotherhood will help you fight him. The rest of the team will remain outside, but will not fight you.
- If Veronica decided to leave the Brotherhood:
- Once the paladins are dealt with, the next actions depend on whether Veronica decided to leave the Brotherhood or remain a member.
- Option 1: Veronica remains a member:
- Veronica comments about her decision, and the difficulties of staying with such a dogmatic group.
- The quest concludes. The player gets 1000XP and Veronica gets the Bonds of Steel perk.
- Option 2: Veronica decides to leave:
- Veronica expresses an interest in joining the Followers of the Apocalypse. She suggests going to the Followers' outpost.
- At the outpost talk to Doctor Alvarez about Veronica joining. She says that Dr. Schiller makes the decisions, and he's gone for the day.
- Go away from the outpost and wait at least 24 hours.
- Upon returning to the outpost, the player will find the rogue paladins, who have slaughtered all the Followers of the Apocalypse and patients. They will accuse the player and Veronica of sharing forbidden knowledge with outsiders. Players with the Terrifying Presence perk can frighten the Paladins into submission, though there is still no way around it as the rogue paladins all need to be killed, however the aforementioned perk can give the player an advantage. Killing them will not gain Brotherhood infamy and will not make Veronica leave - you also gain their power armor and weapons which may include Gatling lasers.
- The player negatively refers to the Brotherhood's Codex if they use Terrifying Presence against the Paladins and Veronica will have something to say about it
- Veronica will blame herself, but it just reinforces that she made the right decision.
- The quest concludes. The player gets 1000XP and Veronica gets the Causeless Rebel perk.
- From here on out, you can still return to the Hidden Valley Bunker with Veronica, however she will refuse to go inside and will instead wait outside.
- Option 1: Veronica remains a member:
Quest stagesEdit
- During the search for the Euclid's C-Finder, Sarah Weintraub in Vault 21 tells the player that a man with a 'strange metal collar' already purchased it. Veronica may make a comment about Father Elijah. When the player finds the man in Freeside, he is already dead, with his head blown off. Veronica doesn't comment near the body. To clarify: the man isn't Elijah as Sarah describes him as having brown hair (Elijah's hair is gray). It can be assumed he was working for Elijah (as per Dead Money).
- Veronica's final conversation with the Elder is based on which technology item is currently in the player's inventory when they step into the Elder's office, not which technology the player selected to pursue in dialogue with Veronica. I.E. if Veronica is told to pursue the pulse gun, but the player enters the Elder's office with Euclid's C-Finder instead, then the quest completion dialogue for the rangefinder will play instead.
- If you have already completed That Lucky Old Sun And chose not to power Archimedes II but you have Euclid's C-Finder in your inventory already; you can ask Veronica about it, but the route will ultimately be discarded.
- The Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide erroneously lists traveling to Nipton as one of the triggers needed to begin this quest. This may be a misconception due to Nipton's ease of access combined with any "Legion areas" able to trigger her response to the legion.
Behind the scenesEdit
The title is a reference to the Frank Sinatra song "I Could Make You Care".
- Gibson's shack, accessing said terminal, exiting, then speaking with Veronica may cause an infinite dialog loop. [verified] Should you complete the entirety of the quest before accessing the Comm Terminal in
- In some cases, especially after a long playtime or getting to a certain point in the game, Veronica will not enter any of the dialogue triggers at all. [verified] **FIX**( enter vault 11 with Veronica, but make her wait before going into the sacrificial chamber. After the battle, she will walk up and initiate a trigger conversation.)
- Gibson's shack Veronica just walks off to the intercom at Hidden Valley and does the same thing. [verified] While trying to complete the Go with Veronica to talk to the Brotherhood of Steel elder at Hidden Valley section of the quest, Veronica enters the Hidden Valley Bunker and instantly runs to the intercom. She then proceeds to do nothing other than say "See you around" on a continual loop and refuses to engage in conversation. Upon fast traveling to
- pulse gun, your pip-boy may still show the objective "find the pulse gun in Vault 34". [verified] After obtaining the
- There Stands the Grass prior to starting this quest, it's impossible to finish the quest with the "farming technology" even if the data was not destroyed by Keely. The quest directs you to the terminal in Vault 22, which no longer has the data. [verified] If the player has completed
- Activating the Archimedes II weapon system and gaining the Rangefinder before you initiate this quest will automatically flag the journal to tell you to return to the Elder after activating the terminal in Gibson's shack. If you go get a second technology, the quest is seemingly broken. Neither Veronica or the Elder will have conversation options to continue further, and neither will initiate their dialogue scripts between the two, despite there being periods where you cannot talk to either one after coming close to the Elder. [verified]
- The encounter with the Paladins outside the bunker may not spawn, stopping the quest from progressing. This can be fixed by re-entering and exiting the bunker until they turn up. It may take four or five attempts before they appear. [verified]
- When the Paladins initially deliver their ultimatum, sometimes only one will become hostile and three will run away, still friendly. The quest completes normally after killing the one hostile, but upon returning to the bunker the three have come back, deliver their ultimatum again, and attack. After this fight, Veronica refuses to follow you, and will sometimes start an unprovoked dialogue with you but only give the standard "what's up?". This appears to be caused by her attempting to deliver the quest-ending dialogue but, already having delivered it, getting stuck and refusing to budge until it's delivered. [verified]
- Nellis Air Force Base trigger may fail, and Veronica fails to comment after hearing the speech. It may take several attempts for this dialogue to initiate. The same can happen with the Silver Rush trigger. [verified]
- If you kill the Brotherhood Paladins in the Followers' Outpost and then equip their armor later while Veronica is still your companion, she will interrupt whatever you are doing to tell you that she will not stand for you killing members of the Brotherhood of Steel. Veronica will then go back to regular dialogue options. [verified]
- If you re-enter the bunker after encountering the hostile paladins, sometimes not all of them will enter to follow you. [verified]
- Gibson's shack, you may get stuck in a conversation loop with her. [verified] When you ask Veronica about the technologies in
- You may get this quest when you first get the Euclid's C- Finder even if you don't have Veronica as a companion. This in turn triggers a glitch where the only option when talking to Veronica is "I have to go now", as if you insulted the Brotherhood of Steel in your first visit, and this then means Veronica is unobtainable as a companion. This glitch happens regardless of whether or not you have already talked to her.[verified]
- Still in the Dark by having the Courier help Head Paladin Hardin replace Elder McNamara before Veronica can return to McNamara with a piece of technology, will cause McNamara to be absent from his chair. When entering the room where McNamara normally sits, the quest will trigger Veronica to approach the chair and engage in conversation. Though he will not be present in the room, his voice can still be heard responding to Veronica. [verified] Completing the quest
- { If the player had previously found the pulse gun and lost it or sold it to a merchant, the quest objective will still point to the case it was found in in Vault 34. Using console commands to spawn a second copy of the weapon, or tracking down the original weapon and re-acquiring it, will cause the quest to proceed normally.
- If you have already completed There Stands the Grass and you are unable to download the Vault 22 data: it's possible to reset the mainframe terminal by using the console command set e6a6a.DataState to 0; you can then re-download the data to complete the objective. This should even work if the data was deleted.
- Solution to the dialogue between Veronica and the Elder freezing or not starting at all during the first phase I Could Make You Care: upon arrival, stand beside the Elder's table and raise and lower (twice if necessary) your Pip-boy any time the conversation freezes. You might lose some sentences, but the first step of the given quest (Bring Veronica to the Elder) will be completed, and Veronica gives you the next step of the quest (the terminal thing) as soon as you leave the Elder's room.
- Solution to Veronica not following after I Could Make You Care: During the battle with the paladins, KO Veronica before you kill the last paladin. When she wakes up, you can manually talk to her twice for her standard dialog. *Note* won't work on hardcore for obvious reasons.
- If Veronica won't follow you anymore (she simply stands in place and won't move, despite being able to interact with her) after you fight the Paladins outside the Hidden Valley Bunker (After suggesting she stay with the Brotherhood to gain her Bonds of Steel Perk), simply travel to Gibson's shack, re-download the data from the computer, talk to her so she brings up the conversation about what technology to pursue, choose the technology you choose initially to complete the quest, exit the conversation, talk to her again, enter her workbench and craft ANY item (1 ammunition conversion works just fine), after the item is crafted and added to your inventory she should now follow you again. Test by simply entering into sneak mode, if she crouches with you she is now following you again. Solution works for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
- If Veronica won't follow you anymore, you'll have to go back to before the part of the mission where she speaks to the elder after you retrieved the notes, and directly tell her you want her to leave (don't suggest for her to stay, and don't allow her to choose for herself).
- Numerous fixes exist for Veronica not saying her quest related lines:
- Simply send her back to the 188 Trading Post and then speak to her, where she'll then recognise the quest triggers, and even possibly the dress (if given to her previously without effect) for You Make Me Feel Like a Woman.
- Since there are always three triggers available (McCarran, Vault 3, Nelson/Cottonwood Cove), it's generally going to be better to trigger the quest "normally" - use the console only if the regular triggers won't work.
- If the dialogue options do not open automatically give Veronica some formal wear for the unmarked quest You Make Me Feel Like a Woman and she will most likely not respond. However, sit down, and when you stand back up, open the companion wheel, go to the talk to option, and then talk to her about trading equipment, take the dress back and put it back in, and when you leave the triggers should work.
- Along with the above fix for the formal wear trigger, sitting down in a seat in a trigger area then standing up will activate the trigger. (Ex. Sitting in Colonel Hsu's office will trigger comment by eastern doors of Camp McCarran)
- Simply send her back to the 188 Trading Post and then speak to her, where she'll then recognise the quest triggers, and even possibly the dress (if given to her previously without effect) for You Make Me Feel Like a Woman.
- If Veronica gets stuck and won't follow you anymore, and then you get the infinite loop once you get to the comm terminal at Gibson's shack, you'll have to restart the mission (from a previous save) and work back to the part where she speaks to the elder after you retrieved the notes, and directly tell her you want her to leave (don't suggest for her to stay, and don't allow her to choose for herself). Then go to Gibson's shack and access the comm terminal, and once you do, it will say (in the upper left side of your screen) "COMPLETED: Access Father Elijah's notes for the comm terminal", and upon exiting the terminal, Veronica will automatically start talking. After you choose one, it will give you the option to exit the dialogue, and Veronica says, "I like the way you think...".
- If you have chosen to pursue the pulse gun and, after recovering it from Vault 34, your Pip-boy does not show the objective completed - place the item in Veronica's inventory via the companion wheel. Close her inventory and then reopen via the companion wheel and remove the item. This should trigger the completion of the objective.
- set "000E327C".HowPlayerEntered to 0 in the console and re-entering the bunker. For some unknown reason Veronica will sometime not talk to the intercom when entering the Hidden Valley. A possible fix is to enter
- If you have Euclid's E-Finder before you had Veronica talk to the elder drop it then pick it up.

Hi, thanks very much for posting this, it looks great.
Couple of editing notes - I edited the content type to be history, book page shouldn't really be there, and removed some of the tags as they should only be things which are the main topic of the text.
Finally, if the subchapters only contain PDF files, then it is easier if all the PDF files are just attached to this parent page, and the child pages just deleted. If you wanted to do that would be great, otherwise no worries I will do it when I get a chance.
Cheers again!
Hi Steven,
Makes sense to delete the child pages (I actually wanted to add all of them in a single entry but I thought there may be a problem with the filesize quota).
However, I think the CNT, CGT and RILU tags should be left in place, as all of these three unions/internationals are dealt with extensively in the book.
Fantastic- I've been looking for this book for a long time. But where is part 3? Or is this part the same as the PhD?

Fantastic- I've been looking for this book for a long time. But where is part 3? Or is this part the same as the PhD?
No, this is the full-length book, but you're right in that the 3rd chapter seems to be missing (I can't figure out why, but there you have it). I will try to re-upload it.
Also, apologies to potential readers for the outrageous filesize; I was using a program that didn't have a file compression option at the time. But I think they can easily be compressed using MS Word or Open Office.
update: the missing chapter has now been added.
Hanxs - have not been looking for some time.
For all who can read German:
The Hamburg pre-WWI monthly anarchist and syndicalist paper »Der Kampf. Organ für Anarchismus und Syndikalismus« is now (almost) complete online, 24 issues, June 1912 to June 1914 (PDF-format); the 'zero-number' (May 1912) was printed on red paper, which is almost impossible to scan. The page also holds a table of contents, an authors' register, and a slightly outdated (1986), but nonetheless informative introduction.

My mom had a good day yesterday in working through this potential move. I am filled with mixed emotions. What I am realizing is that what I really want is for her to be young, healthy, for my father to be living and for things to stay that way. I am facing a difficult reality--that of growing up and watching your parents get older. The thought of her being here with us and with our kids is so incredible, it's just an emotional transition. My family has never lived anywhere except the Abilene area. Now we're all in Tennessee. Strange times. It's hard not to feel some guilt about living 1000 miles away and causing her to uproot. I have to remember that "this world is not my home". But, as soon as I say it, my heart betrays me. "Home" has always been special to me. Sacred places mean a lot in my life. But, what is really convicting me in this process is my selfish nature of being too tied to "things" that make me feel secure. My mom's Godly presence in our lives and our girls' lives will be worth all the money in the world. I just confess that in the perfect world, I'd want to somehow combine Abilene and Nashville so as to keep all the things that are dear to me. One thing is sure--there is more fun ahead than we have imagined. My mom will bring a life and vitality to Nashville and to OC that will be so amazing.
This morning we go to "spec" out the house she will have built. It's really beautiful and is on an amazing lot that backs up to some woods. We are so excited for her. Please continue to pray for her in this transition time and for all those she loves in Abilene who she'll have to say goodbye to after so many years.
More to come later today.

I am excited for you and your Mom. She is still young and spunky enough to make lots of great friends in TN and still visit and travel with all the old TX ones.
I know what you are going through in a way BST. My Dad has not been well lately and I am having a hard time seeing him as older..but he is 68! I think he should be 50. My Mom too! My parents left my hometown and now live across the street! Can you imagine how fun it would have been to grow up across the street from you grandparents? My kids are very blessed! As are Rob and I.
I haven't been "home" to Angelo in four years. I do miss it. To me, it is a sacred place. San Angelo is not part of my here and now, but will always be a part of who I am. You will always have ties to Abilene. Mike talks about loss today in his blog sorta. I think that part of what is hard is that Abilene is where all your memories of your Dad were made. Lucky for us, memories are stored in our hearts, not just our hometowns! I think Sam Thomas would love that your Mom is going to be near you in Nashville. He would indeed be proud of both of you!
"Homecoming" will take on a new meaning for you as it has for me. My feeling for San Angelo help me appreciate the feeling that will go with our ultimate "Homecoming" when we see our Father again. Blessings and prayers for you and yours during your wonderul transition!
On a seperate, comical and completely unrelated note... I am selling my sister on my blog. Know of any qualified takers? ;> - 1:36 PM

Brandon, I know this is a tough topic, but I also know that due to your willingness to turn things over to God, that whatever happens can benefit His kingdom. I have seen my dad (also an only child) struggle so much with my grandmother as she has aged. She lives 650 miles away but would still call him (or occasionally me) regarding minor things all hours of the day and night and often he would get up and drive to Missouri and back in a 48 hour period multiple times in a month. That's a 1300 mile round trip! It was so tough on him that he bought her a house and moved her here. However, she hated it here and was even more difficult that before. Obviously Judy is not like that and I bind the thought that she ever could be, but to have her willingly seeking to be near you might still be a blessing.
While you have not stated this and may therefore not be feeling it, part of your anxiety and hers as well could stem from the concern over the effect her move might have on the autonomy you have created with your family. If this is a concern, it really might be better to address it before it becomes a problem because by then it may too late to avoid hard feelings. Be honest about your expectations of involvement and space and encourage the same from her. You know you already have her blessing and approval so do not worry about how to gain more if she is a constant presence. Continue instead to seek God's approval in the way you are wired and Judy will honor that. Further, support her in her interests and involvement in the community of faith there and I think things will work out fine.
I live in the same town with my 73 year-old dad and aside from the fact that he is certifiably nuts things are okay. We talk every day but I seldom see him more than once a week. Still, we understand that each of us are there for the other whenever needed. Anyway, I'll be praying for the decisions being made and for the situations they create. I hope it all goes well.
(Sorry about the rambling. I commented earlier but it never got there so this one was longer.) - 2:44 PM

Thanks for your many years of friendship. You too, Steph. It's so cool to be in touch in these types of ways without having to muddle through the niceties of ACU Homecoming or talk over Chapel announcements! :)
We have addressed most of that. In fact, ahving grown up with my grandmother basically living with us (my father's mother--a notoriously difficult woman), we are perhaps extra sensitive to those things. I know there will be moments, but they will all be small in comparison to what I saw with my own grandmother.
My real fears lie in a concern for her social, spiritual, and every other way to describe her well-being. Leaving the Lorenzes, the Nichols', Kaye Price-Hawkins, Mike, and so many others may be beyond her experience in knowing how hard it will be. I think that's a lot of it. And, of course, my own stuff mixed in there which seems minimal in comparison.
Overall, I am thrilled. Sheryl and i ahve never known what it's like to live around family--except for her cousin, Kim. It will be life altering and will probably end up being one of the best blessings we've known.
Thanks for your words and your friendship. Miss you, brother. - 2:55 PM

The fact that your mom is the first of that group to move on does not mean she will be the last. As they get to places in their lives where they are not tied down by jobs or other things they may also relocate. Bearing that in mind, what are the real odds that your mom will end up in the same place those people are anyway? I suspect that no matter where they all live, they will keep in touch and get together on occasion. Further, those friendships are formed and very concrete whereas her relationship with her grandkids is developing. It will be easier for her to maintain those old friendships from a distance than it will be to construct her legacy as a grandma.
That having been said, as a former banker I think your cautionary tone regarding her annuities is well placed. I am sure your financial guy is advising her well in this, though. Prudence is key, I think. - 3:58 PM

I was shocked to hear that your mom was/has moved.
I really enjoyed the the series she did on journaling. One other note: My husband felt at home with her the first time he met her. She resembles his mom a lot. Give her our best! - 10:18 PM
- Donny said...
Didn't know your mom was moving. Interestingly on my blog Tuesday, I listed some of my favorite blogs and I put your Mom's. I labeled it "Brandon's Mom in Abilene"...guess not for long.
What a blessing it will be to have your Mom close by and for your kids to be around her. I wish my kids were around their grandparents more but I don't want to move ! Selfish me. Love ya brother - stay strong through all this. - 1:55 PM

The Weekender – apples, clocks and a see-through computer
Lately, I have become fascinated by provocative US pop sensation Ke$ha. After some careful study of her lyrics, I feel she may be a genius. You know how surprising it is to find out Shakespeare coined so many common phrases? Well I think Ke$ha has similarly lofty linguistic ambitions. Take her name for example – this isn't a typo SHE ACTUALLY SPELLS IT LIKE THIS. Maverick. She also uses phrases like "sick and sexified." In centuries to come we'll all be saying that the whole time and someone smug will say: "You know it was Ke$ha who coined that." You heard it hear first. Where was I? Oh right, The Weekender…
Best of the site
Top of the clocks this week was this insane installation by the wonderfully-named Humans Since 1982, we loved Jamie Hawkesworth's Ai Weiwei shoot for AnOther magazine and we learned that California police logs can make great cartoons courtesy of Owen Cook.
Best of Best of the Web
This week the web gave us a great typographic piece on the movie poster billing block (i.e. bit at the bottom) from The New York Times, it schooled us in the ways in which owls are the hippest of all creatures over on Sabotage Times and it showed us what happens when you make cartoonists work in an office courtesy of the sadistic chaps at The New Yorker.
Best of the Rest
We enjoyed this very cool interview with A$AP Rocky on Mr Porter (and not just because of his K$sha-esque name), we learned all about Wolff Olins' new brand identity for Mozilla and we marvelled at this see-through computer. Repeat that, see-through computer!
Tweet of the week
"Florida Man Breaks Chihuahua's Leg Tipping Disabled Owner Into Traffic."
Wait,what? Just one of many pearls from the @FloridaMan Twitter feed which collates news stories relating to the sunshine state's strangest residents, as long as the news stories begin with those magic words…
Balloon burster of the week
This year's awards season drew to a close with last Sunday's Oscars and on the whole there was an impressive lack of speeches that made you want to gnaw your own lips off in embarrassment. That said it is still good to remind ourselves of the greatest acceptance speech ever given, from Mr Seinfeld…
Oddly addictive illustrated game of the week
It's Friday, we're almost done for the week. Why not wile away the last couple of hours of the day making a greedy illustrated woman scoff apples kicked towards her by a sexy stockinged foot to an accompaniment of frenetic piano? Why not indeed…
Leadership of the week
However mature you are day-to-day, we all get the temptation sometimes to do something to sate our inner eight-year-old. Step forward then headmaster Max Dunning who hid a swear word encoded in a letter to parents about one of his staff retiring. Not surprising he resigned. Not entirely sure it qualifies as "a code" though?
PR stunt of the week
What do you do when the whole of the UK (i.e. the loudest section of our popular press) is having a furious meltdown about naughty food suppliers giving us horse that was meant to be really cheap nasty beef? You hold a horse burger week if you're this enterprising London pub…
Oh-that-is-soooooooooo-me video of the week
