Happy 30th Birthday Alpha!
The Alpha camps will be celebrating their 30th Birthday this year and we would like to invite you to come and join in the celebration. We figure that about 18,000 4-H'ers have camped at Alpha I or Alpha II during those thirty years and it's never too late to come back to the Mill and enjoy a day as a camper once again.
We will begin the celebration with registration for our guests beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday of each week. (That will be July 13 and July 20.) Our returning campers will be put back into their tribes and for the next 24 hours they will once again be an Alpha camper. The camp will begin with an assembly and our guest speaker. This will be followed by grow groups which may be a new animal for some of our Alpha alumni. We will assign you to a group of folks your age and you will have time during the afternoon to catch up with each other and to share those wonderful Alpha memories.
Tuesday evening at Alpha is time for the All Star Consecration; followed by our "all age" council circle. Some years back we hosted an alumni reunion at OMC and that night in council circle, one of the tribes challenged a brave to stand on their head, the only limit was they had to be 60 or older. Much to my surprise, all five tribes had a brave that did it. So get ready for a rockin" council circle.
Wednesday will begin with morning classes and we will have some things planned for you. We also will share some reports of our successes and challenges with Alpha and the 4-H program. We then will be asking all of you to share with our campers. We hope that each of you will come prepared to teach a LEO. In Alpha speak, that is a Leisure Education Opportunity. You will share a hobby, an interest, a collection, or any way you enjoy spending your free time. The campers will be free to roam around and visit what you are doing. We will wrap up the camp with a last meal in the dining hall.
We will have three levels of housing: in the cottage, guest rooms, and the lodge. There will be a charge for your three meals, lodging, and a registration fee. We are hoping to have a July 1st registration deadline and you will be able to register on line at: www.peopleware.net/2633a
If you have any questions about any part of this celebration, feel free to contact Jeffrey Orndorff at email@example.com or by phone at 304/293-8153
Prime time for bike riding
Summer is prime time for 4-H activities in West Virginia. On Sunday, July 12, 4-H'ers from the Hi-Fi 4-H Club in Randolph County participated in a bike ride along the trail at Gilman. Pictured left to right in the photo are Megan Broschart, Jeyna Collett, Ashton Hendon and leader of the Club, Frank Mams. The club members rode over 4 miles and talked about the importance of wearing bike helmets. After the ride members enjoyed some outdoor cooking as they roasted hotdogs and made s'mores.
The Hi-Fi 4-H Club is one of the oldest 4-H Clubs in Randolph County. The name was chosen by members back when high fidelity stereo was a new technology. Past leaders included Marguerite (Peg) Widney, Violet Snedegar and Polly Mams.
Hello, Canada
Ten West Virginia 4-H members and three adult chaperones flew to Alberta, Canada to Edmonton on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 for a ten day exchange with Canadian 4-H'ers who live in St. Paul. Last summer the Canadians came to West Virginia.
Activities include lake swimming, boating, visiting a Ukrainian Village, shopping at the second largest Mall in the World in Edmonton, hiking, horseback riding, snorkeling. They plan to camp for 3 days in the Rocky Mountains and take in the Jasper Tramway, Miette Hot Springs, Columbia Ice Fields, Athabasca Falls, Lake Louise and Lake Banff.
4-H members include Charlie Brown from Preston County, Meredith Orndorff from Monongalia County, Alec James from Hancock County, Amanda Wimer from Lewis County, Shane Yeater and Mandy Yeater from Doddridge County, Sophia Lind from Jefferson County, Emily Vandevender from Greenbrier County, Jennings Sisler from Hardy County, Kati Hildreth from Roane County and chaperones, Connie Williams from Monongalia County and Barry and Marci Yeater from Doddridge County.
My hope is that they have a great experience and build even stronger ties with our Canadian neighbors. Last year the Canadians were fascinated by our fireflies but in WV we call these creatures "lightning bugs." Sometimes appreciating the simple differences in our environment is a way to build lasting friendships. The Canadians also spent a week at Alpha II State 4-H Camp last year.
This trip was originally planned for Russia but because of the economic climate and an accident with a Russian student in Wales the Russian group that I had always worked with was forced to suspend any future exchanges. In the meantime, Gayle Plante, a Canadian 4-H leader found me on the Internet and we began to talk about an exchange. I feel very lucky that we found another opportunity so that the WV 4-H'ers still were able to experience an exchange. I had hoped to go but with Alpha I beginning on Saturday, I had to bow down to three super 4-H leaders who agreed to chaperone this trip. So thank you Connie, Barry and Marci for taking time out of your schedules to supervise this trip. My last trip to Canada was over thirty years ago and I am sad to miss this one but very excited that at least one Orndorff (my youngest daughter) was able to go. Have fun kids!
Thank you Canada!
OMC 2009 Thus Far
Hey all, it's me again – Tad. You may remember me from my previous efforts as a blogger. If not, check 'em out sometime!
Well, as a 21 year-old, it's my last year as a camper here at WV 4-H Older Members Conference. I'm pretty saddened by the whole affair really. I'm really not sure how long that I've been here, but that's not really what is
important about my relationship with this place and this camp. The important thing is the way in which I've been able to grow through my experiences I had here. The leadership opportunities that I have been given here have
helped me to become the person that I am today. But enough with that boring stuff, here's what has been going on this week:
I've been in a cottage with a bunch of my best friends here, and it's been pretty wild. It's not as if we're burning the place down, but there's been a lot of fun this week just catching up and having a good time. Our room is a
complete disaster area, but it's all good – I'm sure we'll get it together when needed.
I'll talk about the most recent and exciting thing that we did in camp here, and that's the camp party. Tonight we had a dance and snacks and all that good stuff. The dance was HYPE. As always, I out being a dancing machine. I probably sweat at least a quart….AT LEAST. Luckily, I didn't pass out because water was bountiful, but my legs are going to be feeling terribly sore tomorrow. I played basketball for a while today, swam, then danced
myself silly. I'm really surprised I was able to dance that well at all tonight after so much physical activity. That just goes to show ya, 4-H camp= healthy place to spend a week. I'd like to go on and on about my camp
exploits up to this point, but sleepiness is creepin' in.
You'll hear from me again soon. I may also be reporting from elsewhere in
the state. I do this stuff for money when I'm not being a camper myself.
Greetings all,
So, its been a while since the last time I've blogged on here but Big O mentioned something to me and I believe that its just about time to start it back up.
It's Thursday night of OMC 2009 here at Jacksons Mill. I probably should have blogged some before now to keep you up to speed but I've been a little busy having fun with all of my friends?.what do you think I come to camp for, to sit here and blog all day? Not quite, but now that I have some time, I'd like to do a little updating for you.
So far this week has been awesome. When we first came to camp it was obvious that numbers were down again because of the lack of chairs in the assembly hall alone. This didn't cause much stress though. My friend Chris Claudio and I soon agreed that the theme for the week would be "Numbers Down, Spirits Up!" as we were determined to have this week, once again, be the best week of our entire year.
I was assigned to stay in Marion Cottage for the week, which is a treat because not only is it my favorite cottage to stay in at the Mill, but almost all of my best friends are in the cottage with me, including my three roommates from my house in Morgantown, so it felt just as much like home as anywhere else I could be. Even with all of the activities available throughout the week, some of the most important and most memorable times you will ever have at 4H camp will be times and conversations you share with the roommates of your cottage. I guess there is just something about sleeping in a big, empty room with 12 other guys that just forms some sort of emotional bond.
Council Circles this week have been pretty extraordinary. Like always, the Mingo's put out a couple duds in the funny stunt area and like always took some heat from the other tribes, but last night
they really pulled through with some quality material that had the whole camp cracking up. Last night's council circle was also probably one of the hardest one's I've ever sat through. I can't even think to
tell you now what it was that had me and about eight others in a nonstop state of "the giggles," but for some reason we could not stop laughing and never about anything in particular. Somehow a couple of my friends were able to convince to me to sit with them in the front row next to the chief and sag(who were also suffering from a nearly terminal case of the giggles themselves). Let me just say that "As The Bright Flames" has most definitely seen its more somber renditions.
Well that's all from me for now. Its getting kind of late and I've been shakin' what my momma gave me for a good two hours or so at the camp dance. (FYI: it was wicked awesome).
Talk to you soon, and probably tomorrow,
Mel " Delaware GodChief" Johnson
OMC-"Through the Ages"
Hey, hey, hey! This is Caroline back again for a new summer of camps! I have been here at Jackson's Mill since Sunday at OMC (Older Members Conference) and it has been truly amazing! The theme for the week is "OMC Through the Ages", so we have been traveling through history.
We started in prehistoric times on Sunday. We celebrated our first council circle with the new traditional ceremony, "The Journey". Bob Richardson also informed us we had about 250 people in camp this week which is down from previous years, but I can honestly report that the spirit of OMC has not suffered at all. As I've been noticing each night at council circle there has been one thing that was really significant. Sunday's best was definitely a Mingo commercial including a prehistoric man who stood up with a stick and performed a loud tribal call. It was hilarious!
Monday came quickly and the theme of the day was "Et tu, Brute?" aka Roman times. We had our first speaker, Dr. Nigel Clark, who spoke on alternative fuels. We attended our classes for the first time as well. We also had our traditional camp picture, but they switched up the order this year. For the first time in my 8 years of state 4-H camping the Cherokees and Delawares were in a picture together and the Mingos and Senecas were pictured together. It looked like Christmas and Halloween and the Christmas photo even sang some carols to go along with the festive colors. Monday night council circle had to be one of the funniest I have ever attended. I got a nice seat on council rock for the evening and about all the laughing I could stand! The Delawares music mix-n'-match definitely took the gold. They took a very somber traditional song here in West Virginia 4-H and mixed it with a very funny silly song, My Home Among the Hills and The Beaver Song. They sang the tune of the first, but used the words of the second. Their male chief went on to sing in the last part of the song a very high screeching descant usually performed by sopranos in a choral group. I cried, not from sadness, but laughter.
Tuesday arrived with the theme of "Let the Games Begin", alluding to the first Olympic Games held in Athens, Greece. We did not have a speaker because we were performing our annual service to the
Mill. Campers participated in everything from painting benches to mulching flower beads to cleaning out cluttered rooms. It turned out to be a rewarding job for not only the mill, but the campers as well. Tuesday night is always a very special night here at our summer camps because it is All-Star night. There is a ceremony performed where the new inductees are tapped out of the entire audience of campers. No Tuesday night at camp has ever been more special to me however, because last night I was tapped and inducted to be a West Virginia 4-H All-Star! It was shocking and amazing all in one. We then went to council circle with all the special guest All-Stars. It was again a hilarious night. Although council circle was a little long, we came down to the assembly hall afterward and were able to congratulate all the new All-Stars and celebrate with a little folk dancing.
Although today is not yet over, it has already been quite interesting. Our theme for the day is "Who Turned Out the Lights?", or medieval times. We had a guest speaker this morning on Cyber Bullying. It was quite the controversial issue. It spurred great discussion of everyone in their small groups and when we came back for full camp discussion the response was so overwhelming that we had many campers unable to voice their
opinions in the allotted time. We were encouraged to share our thoughts with others over the course of the day however.
So, as camp this week has been quite fun and amazing I am sure and hope it only gets better.
Until Next Time,
Caroline Bailey

4-H Corn Roast at the Stonewall Jackson Jubilee
It will soon be time for us to do the Corn Roast at the Stonewall Jackson Jubilee. The Jubilee will begin on Friday, August 29 and end on Monday, September 1. The Jubilee is a giant craft fair with a theme of history and authentic homemade crafts and food. There are many activities. The State 4-H Camps and the 4-H Agents Association sponsor a corn roast. Besides corn, we have sweet potatoes and baked potatoes roasted on an open pit and it is all very tasty and delicious. The real flavors come out of the food from cooking on the open pit.
We are looking for 4-H folks to volunteer to give us a five hour shift on one of those days. If you are interested, our shifts are as
10-2 12-5 3-8
If you are interested, please let me know at firstname.lastname@example.com and let me know the day and shift you would like to work. We will add you to the list and they will have the list at the picnic pavilion once your
cross over the bridge to the airfield. We will also have lodging available to those that work for us and if you need that, I would need to know that as well. Our booth is located next to the pool in the upper end of camp.
We also need help on Thursday to do the setup and we will begin work
that day at 12:00 until we finish.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Stop by and visit the youth building at the State Fair
The West Virginia State Fair is now open and the grounds are full of people enjoying the sights and sounds of the country life in the Mountain State. 4-H is stepping up their involvement with the fair this year. We now have a council circle on the grounds and we will be having camp fire activities three times a day during the run of the fair.
The Youth Building is also open and we have the second largest number of exhibits ever. We have 3,670 exhibits from 50 of our 55 counties. We have taken digital pictures of all the posters and it is easier to read the posters and all the great information they have. We are open everyday from 10:00 in the morning until 9:00 at night, so if you are traveling to the fair, stop in the Cecil Underwood Youth Building for a great 4-H fix. The projects are varied and we have selected 12 Best of Show exhibits. We have folks from the Greenbrier County 911 with us along with Greenbrier Communications. Germ City is helping teach folks the correct way to wash their hands and as always it is a very popular attraction
We will be adding the Mobile Technology Lab by tomorrow morning and this will give us 11 computers in the building where folks can read email, look up items on the internet and play games.
We are enjoying the beginning of the new fair and our thanks go out to all the folks that were a part of the Department O team and the agents and volunteers around the state that delivered exhibits to us.
State camp planning begins tonight, August 8 and OMC will be working tonight and tomorrow with our Alpha planning coming in on Saturday and out on Sunday. Hopefully many great ideas will come about for State Camps for the summer of 2009.

Where I stayed
Mbizi Backpackers
Day : 428
Temperature : 15 degrees
Weather : Sunny but freezing!!!
After the success of our Whaleshark experience we were all feeling positive and decided to leave early morning to try to make it over the border back to South Africa in one day. Luckily I managed to avoid a trip to the local Mozambican hospital when I fortunately spotted the scorpion that was lurking in my underpants just as I was slipping them on in the morning! Very close call! Apparently scorpions are fairly rare in Mozambique, but wouldn't you know it, the one which had been hiding in my clothes happened to be one of the most dangerous types in this region....lucky, lucky, lucky
And so having escaped unscathed we packed all of our stuff into the car once again and headed south. Now, driving in Mozambique can be pretty tricky as we have discovered. Not only are there goats, chickens and the odd child which spontaneously runs onto the road without warning, but at night time there seems to be dozens and dozens of people walking around at the road edge, or worse on the road itself. Combine the fact that they are dark skinned, wear dark clothing and have no reflective gear on, it's amazing that more people aren't killed here. It's treacherous! Additionally, as a tourist you also have to avoid the police who are ever so eager to pull over a foreign car in the hope of an on-the-spot fine because they don't like the look of your lights, your car or your face!
We'd been pulled over three times already, but fortunately everything was in order and the policemen, dissapointed, had to let us go. However, by now Kevin's international drivers license (which all foreigners need to have for driving in Mozambique) had expired two days previously. Realising that this could potentially cause problems should we be pulled over yet again, we devised a plan to hand over Kevin's Blockbuster Video Card and plead ignorance, claiming that we didn't speak English
After stopping overnight in Komatipoort in South Africa we rose at daybreak the following day and headed back into Kruger park. Within minutes we saw a lion eating a kill under a bush directly at the side of the road. Within minutes a hyena skulked into the picture, obviously hoping to scavenge some food, and sat about 50 yards from the lion, the two animals staring each other out, neither being first to look away. We moved on further into the park, and just as we spotted some elephants on the road our little Canon point and shoot decided to pack in as well!! Can you believe it? Two cameras die on us in one week. So now we are in Kruger without anything but our video camera...unbelievable! Fortunately, Lynsey has kindly donated her photos for us to use on this blog so you can see some of the animals that we spotted.
Anyway, we had a very successful day in the park, spotting 4 out of the big 5. Sadly the leopard was the only one that we didn't see
Kevin and I were in shock as you can imagine. Our 10 month old camera had died on us. Apparently our pride and joy looked like it had gone for a swim in the sea, and had corroded away inside, probably over the course of several months if not a year....very, very strange....possibly due to faulty seals?! Who knows. It's a mystery, but apparently not unusual so we are told, for cameras bought in Asia to have similar "problems". Thankfully, it's insured, so panic not folks.
So we headed to our guest house having to work out what we were going to do about being camera-less when I realised that I had left my little rucksack at the hotel in White River that morning!!! They say things come in 3's....our two cameras and now this?! Fortunately, the hotel have found my bag and are keeping it for me, although they cannot guarantee that all the items I had in it are still there
The following day we made the decision to get a replacement camera, for which we can claim on the insurance when we return home. And so we ventured into Johannesburg once more, and returned with our wallets a little lighter and our rucksacks a little heavier, with a brand new camera and lens for Namibia and Botswana.
Today we swapped our little Opel Corsa for a mighty big pick up truck with a hard top which we have now called "Bucket". We are currently in the process of deciding which route to take down to Cape Town having discoverd that the main motorway to Durban is closed, the Drakensberg Park and Lesotho are under 1 metre of snow!
Ah how plans can be overturned in a second..........

2012 obituaries
Giorgio Chinaglia, the most feared striker in the history of American professional soccer, died on April 1.
Significant deaths in American soccer during 2012.
Former New York Cosmos star striker Giorgio Chinaglia, key performer and controversial personality on one of the most famous soccer teams of his generation, passed away on April 1. He was 65.
Chinaglia died of a heart attack in his Naples, Fla. home.
The former Italian international player helped the Cosmos to four North American Soccer League titles and scored a league-record 242 goals in 254 league matches.
Chinaglia was elected to the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2000.
I am a finisher," he once said. "That means when I finish with the ball, it is in the back of the net." And that is just what he did 193 times for the Cosmos. He closed out his eight-year career with the Cosmos as the NASL's all-time leader in goals. He once scored seven goals in a playoff game as the Cosmos earned championships in 1977, 1978, 1980 and 1982. He scored the game-winning goals in the first and last title encounters.
Born in Carrara, Tuscany in 1947, Chinaglia moved with his family to Cardiff, Wales in 1955. He started his pro career with Swansea Town and eventually moved to Massesse and Internapoli in Serie C, and eventually to Lazio. He enjoyed his greatest Italian success with the Rome-based club, connecting 98 times in 209 matches. He helped Lazio move into Serie A, winning the league title in 1974.
He also represented Italy 14 times, scoring four goals.
Chinaglia endured some problems off the field.
In October, 2006, Chinaglia was sought by Italian authorities, who issued an arrest warrant for him and eight others on charges of extortion and insider trading at Lazio. He remained in the United States since then.
Soccer legend Harry Keough, a member of the U.S. National Team that stunned England and the rest of the world at the 1950 World Cup, died on February 7. He was 84.
A native of St. Louis, Keough made 84 appearances for the United States, scoring one goal. But his most famous game was against heavily favored England in the World Cup, a game that the Americans won, 1-0.
A member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame, Keough was one of the stalwarts of the U.S. National Team during the 1940s and 1950s. He earned 19 caps, scoring once for the USA in a 5-1 World Cup qualifying loss to Canada in 1957.
Like it or not, Keough was best remembered for helping anchor a backline against the heavily favored English in the 1950 World Cup. It was England's first participation in a World Cup after years of ignoring the grand event. But he also had a soccer career beyond that game. He represented the U.S. at the Olympics and also performed for St. Louis Kutis, who captured the 1957 U.S. Open Cup crown and the National Amateur Cup six successive times between 1956 and 1961.
Moreover, he also forged a career as a successful college coach, first with Florissant Valley Community College. He then took over as head coach of the St. Louis University soccer team in 1967, where he posted a 213-50-23 record before retiring in 1982.
In his first season, the Billikens shared NCAA championship honors with Michigan State. Keough guided St. Louis to four crowns during the next five years. Those national titles came in 1969 (4-0 win against San Francisco), 1970 (1-0 win against UCLA), 1972 (4-2 victory against UCLA) and 1973 (2-1 overtime win against UCLA). The Billikens also advanced to the 1971 and 1974 championship games. Keoughs six consecutive appearances in the championship final from 1969 to 1974 remains a mens soccer record to this date.
Keough was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 1976, along with his other U.S. teammates from the 1950 World Cup team. Keoughs other honors included an induction into the St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame (1972), the St. Louis University Athletic Hall of Fame (1995) and the NSCAA Hall of Fame (1996).
Keough is survived by wife Alma and his three children, Ty, Colleen and Peggy.
Former Newark Star-Ledger sportswriter Ike Kuhns passed away on April 26. Kuhns was the recipient of the 2008 Colin Jose Media Award from the National Soccer Hall of Fame.
Kuhns served the Northern New Jersey region as a soccer writer from the 1960s, and is perhaps best remembered for his coverage of the North American Soccer Leagues Cosmos. His reporting on soccer pre-dated the NASL and included coverage of international soccer at a time when it was virtually unreported in American newspapers.
Kuhns began his reporting career in 1958 as the sports director of the American Forces Korea Network while serving in the U.S. Army. On leave, he attended the 1958 Asian Games in Tokyo, including an exciting soccer final that sparked his interest in a game about which he knew little. Once out of service and in New York City, he attended the international matches at the Polo Grounds promoted by Bill Cox. These continued to build Ikes growing interest in soccer. While he started with some smaller New Jersey papers, by the time he joined the Star-Ledger in 1965, it was almost World Cup time and Kuhns covered the tournament.
He retired from the Star-Ledger in 2001 and continued to attend Red Bulls games until last year.
Kuhns was a founding member of the Professional Soccer Reporters Association, the organization's first vice president and later president. He was also a life member of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
In addition to soccer, Kuhns served as the Star-Ledger beat writer for the Knicks and Jets for part of his 37-year career. He also was the back-up writer for the Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Devils, and Nets at various times. He covered numerous World Series, Super Bowls, two Ali-Frazier championship fights, Stanley Cup finals, and college football bowl games and college basketball games in the NCAA and NIT tournaments and numerous track and field events, including the Millrose Games and AAU outdoor and indoor championships.
Kuhns was an avid collector of sports memorabilia and at one time his collection included programs from every World Series and Super Bowl.
Longtime soccer promoter Noel Lemon passed away on November 24. He was 68.
A native of Northern Ireland, Lemon came to the United States in 1968 to play for the Philadelphia Spartans in the American Soccer League.
Lemon spent eight years with the Tulsa Roughnecks in the North American Soccer League. During his tenure as General Manager of the club, the team made the playoffs seven times.
He later was President of the Fort Lauderdale Strikers in the American Soccer League. He andwith former New York Cosmos General Manager Clive Toye partnered to form Mundial Sports Group, and promoted soccer events across the country in the late 80s and early 90s, often featuring the U.S. National Team and top international teams.
Former U.S. Mens National Team head coach Alketas Alkis Panagoulias passed away June 18 in Vienna, Va., at the age of 78.
The native of Thessaloniki, Greece, led the U.S. MNT from 1983-85, and also guided the 1984 Olympic team. He later managed Greece from 1992-94 and lead his country to its first FIFA World Cup appearance in 1994.
Panagoulias coached the U.S. Mens National Team to a 6-5-7 record. At the time of his tenure, Panagoulis six wins were the second-highest total for a U.S. head coach, behind only Walter Chyzowychs eight-win total from 1976-80.
During the 1984 Olympics, Panagouliass U.S. team defeated Costa Rica 3-0 in their opening match on July 29 at Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, Calif.
Though born in Greece, Panagoulias emigrated to the United States to continue his education. He became coach of the New York Greek Americans and led the team to three consecutive U.S. Open Cup championships (1967-68-69). He returned to Greece to become an assistant coach with the National Team, then became the head coach in 1973, the first of his three terms coaching the National Squad, taking the team over again from 1977-81 and 1992-94. He led them to the final eight of the 1980 European Nations Cup.
Panagoulias also coached Olimpiakos, twice, Aris twice and Iraklis. He led Olimpiakos to the first division championship in 1982.
He became coach of the U.S. National Team in 1983, a term that included coaching Team America in the North American Soccer League during the 1983 season, when the National Team competed for one season as a Washington DC-based franchise in the league.
After coaching the U.S. he returned to Greece and coached there for another 15 years, then later served as President of Aris Thessaloniki F.C. in 2002 and served as soccer venue manager for the 2004 Olympics Games in Athens.
Longtime Detroit area soccer promoter Gordon Preston died on August 11 from complications following heart surgery. He was 85 years old. A former player in his native England with Bolton Wanderers, Preston moved to the United States in 1956.
He was the Director of Public Relations for the Detroit Cougars, an original franchise in the North American Soccer League, working with them for two seasons, 1967 and 1968, when they played their home games at Tiger Stadium.
Along with Roger Faulkner, he brought the New York Cosmos to play two exhibition games in Detroit, one in 1976 and another in 1977, leading to the formation of the Detroit Express and their admission to the NASL in 1978. As Director of Operations for the club, he engineered the deal to bring Trevor Francis to the Express on loan from Birmingham City for the 1978 and 1979 seasons.
He later was involved in promoting games in Detroit, and was part of the World Cup 1994 bid committee that convinced FIFA to hold World Cup games indoors at the Pontiac Silverdome.
John "Clarkie" Souza, a member of the U.S. National Team that stunned England in the 1950 World Cup, passed away in a Dover, Pa. nursing home on March 11 at the age of 91.
Souza's death leaves only two surviving members of the legendary team that secured that 1-0 victory in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, midfielder Walter Bahr and Frank Borghi.
Souza, who was named to the 1950 World Cup all-star team by Brazilian sports newspaper Mundo Esportivo, also played in the 1948 and 1952 Olympics.
While he was not related to another departed member of that team, Ed Souza, "Clarkie" played on several teams, including the Fall River Ponta Delgada team that won the National Challenge Cup in 1947 and the National Amateur Cup for three consecutive years, from 1946 to 1948.
Souza joined to the New York German-Hungarians in 1951 and was a member of the National Challenge Cup and the National Amateur Cup championship sides that year. Souza played many games at the Met Oval in Maspeth, Queens, which still stands today as the home of the Met Oval youth and Academy teams and the Brooklyn Knights in the Premier Development League.
He was born in Fall River, Mass. on July 12, 1920.
Souza scored three goals in 14 international appearances for the U.S. during a time in which a National Team game was a big deal.

WASHINGTON – Two weeks after a self-imposed deadline by congressional agriculture leaders to come up with $23 billion in cuts to farm programs, DFL Rep. Collin Peterson said Tuesday that he hopes an agreement can be worked out by the end of the week.
Peterson, the ranking Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, has been working behind closed doors with his House and Senate counterparts on a plan that would essentially be the next five year farm bill.
In October, the quartet promised the deliver legislation by early November that could tucked into the much larger much larger deficit reduction bill currently under negotiation by the special 12 member "super committee." That legislation is must be drafted by Nov. 23.
"Certain senators have brought problems to the table," said Peterson, who said the House members involved in the talks are agreed on the bill. Peterson said the sticking point remains the commodity chapter of the bill, which covers farm payments.
As is often the case with agricultural issues, Peterson said regional differences were at the heart of the disagreement, pointing to a variety of crops most commonly found in the South.
"Cotton, rice and peanuts need a different program than the rest of the crops," said Peterson.
The framework under negotiation would bring an end to to direct payments to farmers, a system in place since the 1990s, and replace it with expanded crop insurance and a so-called "shallow loss" revenue protection program that would compensate farmers when crop prices fall by a specified amount.
That proposal has drawn fire from some House members, including DFL Rep. Keith Ellison, and environmental groups opposed to farm subsidies who say the super committee legislation should not be used as a vehicle to create new spending programs. Under the special rules created for the committee last summer, the super committee's legislation is also immune to a Senate filibuster and cannot be amended.

New Service Entrance Cable to be installed. Upgrade to 200amp?
I am buying a 1968 house with 100amp service. I don't know what my actual load will be, but I might be able to live with it until I can scrape up the cash, or have enough problems to justify the upgrade to 200 amp. It's just the two of us and we don't currently run much more than the basics. I didn't realize it was 100, and we've moved past the stage of the process where we can ask for the upgrade.
However, after the home inspection, we negotiated for the seller to replace the service entrance cable, since the outer sheath was in bad shape. Would it be a good idea to try to have the upgrade done at the same time as the cable replacement? How much overlap is there in the two jobs, and besides the cost of the box, how much extra work/cost would it be to go all the way?
Thanks, this is my first house and I'm learning so much already.
Also fyi, the 100 amp box still has a few slots free, so we're not maxed out on space yet.
I would have the service from the weather head down to (and including) the meter socket sized for 200 amp. Even if you have to pay for the upgrade.
I would also have it done in conduit vs SE cable. JMO
If the sellers are paying, it may be hard to get an upgrade. You would need permission from the sellers to do this, you can't go around them to the electrician and only talk to him.
BTW, SE Cable is perfectly fine.
I'll try to get in touch with the electrician and see what his plans are.
Is replacing the service cable a big enough job that I will save signifiantly by just paying the difference on the full install? I'm wondering if once he's on site, has POCO on site (if necessary), and had his hands in the system, that going the extra step and swaping the service out might not cost me as much as having him come out later and do the rest of the upgrade?
A lot of people go overboard on services. 200A is the new standard and it's at a good price point, but not always necessary. I wouldn't go spending too much money.
Can you ask the sellers to escrow the fund? or just give you the money?
Tell them you are planning to hire the electrician to upgrade the panel and this way, they don't have to wait around while this work in being done.
I'd say that's a win-win!
BTW, when I upgrade to 200 amp for my 1966 house, the electrician said he almost always replaces everything from meter to inside
In my opinion it's a necessity for an all electric house. Call the electrician and ask what the upgrade would cost at the time of the replacement. Pay for it yourself if you have to, you will pay much more later. The labor is already factored in.
to have one done now and another later will cost a ton more than upgrading the current work. If the sellers reasonable at all they'll pay for the original estimate and let you cover the rest.
If they're replacing the wire from the weatherhead to the meter, just tell them to use 200A wire (pay the difference if you have to - it will be in the tens of dollars). Then you can upgrade the panel yourself - it's very easy. Even replacing the service wire is easy yourself. If you're uncomfortable doing that, getting an electrician to do it later isn't going to cost much more.
BTW, where I'm from, a straight panel upgrade with sufficiently sized service wire already in place is almost universally $1500. Full replacement including new wire up to the point of connection would be about $2500 because of the POCO charges for disconnection and connection.
Seems silly.
Negotiate for an upgrade at least 150. You are gas ,but you can't say what goes on in the future. Service complete.
I've had my realtor contact the electrician and I should hear from him today about the difference. I agree there's no point in double paying for permits, inspections, service calls, etc.
I consider myself to be fairly handy but that is where I draw the line about what I should not do.
Besides, where I live, only a licensed electrician is allowed to pull a meter...

Paradis Says Canada Must Close Research Investment GapAndrew Mayeda
Canadian Industry Minister Christian Paradis said the federal government must address the country's laggard status among developed economies in terms of private investment in research.
Canada ranks below the median of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries in private sector research spending, OECD data show. Paradis said he's also concerned that Canada lags behind the U.S. in productivity, and said the government plans to rely more on direct funding rather than tax breaks to encourage that investment.
"There's a gap out there that needs to be addressed," Paradis said by telephone from Berlin today. "We need to make sure that the incentives that we put out there are really incentives."
In its last budget, the government scaled back a tax credit designed to encourage businesses to invest in research and development. The government removed capital spending from the costs that can be claimed for the credit and reduced the rate of the credit to 15 percent from 20 percent.
Research in Motion Ltd., the Waterloo, Ont.-based maker of the BlackBerry smartphone, has said the company claims about C$150 million ($151 million) per year through the credit, and that amount would be reduced by about one-third under the changes.
"The manufacturing sector is still alive in the country, but it can no longer rely on a low currency value for competitiveness," said the minister, who is visiting Germany this week to study that country's manufacturing sector.
The government will consider investing any savings from reducing tax credits into direct funding for businesses, Paradis said.

Bishoujo Statues Make Marvel Superheroines Super-Kawaii
The ladies of Marvel have never been more kawaii than the Kotobukiya imported Marvel Bishoujo statues! Except maybe for "X-Men: The Manga." And "X-Men: Misfits." And OK, a bunch of times, shut up. But it's the first time I've seen this kind of manga aesthetic Marvel sculptures, and I love it.
The Bishoujo statues are primarily of X-ladies like Rogue, Psylocke, Phoenix, Dark Phoenix, and Emma Frost, with Black Widow and Scarlet Witch for good measure. The release dates and prices are listed, and while there's no photos of the Emma sculpture yet, Marvel.com has released images of all the rest — along with the concept art by Shunya Yamashita. I thought it was pretty cool to see how the original illustrations transformed into 3D sculptures, so we've added them side-by-side for comparison. Click through for more views of the statues.

China village rights in focus as new land grab sparks protest
(Reuters) - Around 1,000 villagers denouncing a suspected land grab protested outside a government building in southern China while a new local leader called for protection of farmers' rights, newspapers reported on Wednesday.
The villagers, some carrying red and green banners denouncing corrupt officials, gathered outside the Guangzhou city government building on Tuesday, the South China Morning Post said.
They demanded compensation for land they said was seized by the Communist Party Secretary in Wanggang village and accused him of pocketing the equivalent of more than $63 million.
Wanggang lies within the economic powerhouse of Guangdong, where a tenacious months-long standoff in another village, Wukan, over land grabs made global headlines and prompted concessions from senior officials.
Party leaders, whose number one priority is maintaining social stability, are paying close attention to complaints and flare-ups.
As the protesters voiced their grievances, Zhu Xiaodan, Guangdong's newly appointed governor, said the biggest challenge facing his region was "the surfacing" of social tensions.
"Farmers' land rights are not protected by the rule of law, and can lead to conflict," the Beijing-backed Wen Wei Po quoted Zhu Xiaodan as telling reporters at a provincial assembly in Guangzhou.
He called for legal steps to entrench farmers' rights and for stronger mechanisms to ease social tension.
Land disputes do not directly threaten Communist Party rule, Continued...

The numbers confirm it - January was a scorcher.
Figures released this week by the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa) show last month was hot, dry and sunny in Wanganui, and most of the North Island.
No weather records were broken in Wanganui except for wind. January 7 saw the strongest wind gust - 98km/h - ever registered in Wanganui during the month of January.
However, Georgina Griffiths, a climate scientist with Niwa, said Wanganui experienced a much hotter, drier and sunnier January than usual.
"It was good for the beaches, not that good for farming," Ms Griffiths said.
She said there were 10 days in January considered "hot" - that is, those days with temperatures above 25C; while only three days out of January's 31 did not have maximum temperatures of at least 20C.
Ms Griffiths said the mean temperature for Wanganui was 18.8C - well above the January average.
The average high temperature was also well up on normal at 23.7C, which was 1.2C above the January average. The average minimum temperature for the month was 13.9C, which is close to average.
Ms Griffiths said the highest temperature for the month was 28.9C, recorded on January 9, while the lowest was 9.4C, recorded on the morning of January 5.
Solar radiation was also well above average at 116 per cent.
While Wanganui's rainfall of 47mm for the month was low, at 79 per cent of its January average, spare a thought for parts of the upper North Island which received less than 10 per cent of their average January rainfall.
Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga had less than 10mm of rain for the entire month, while Warkworth, Te Puke, Whitianga and Masterton had their driest January on record.
By contrast, much of the South Island was wetter than usual.
Ms Griffiths said by the end of the month, Wanganui was one of a number of areas that had an extreme soil moisture deficit.
Wanganui's fire risk was upgraded to extreme late in January; and a total fire ban was declared in South Taranaki at the same time.
Yesterday's rain was the first to fall on Wanganui since January 18. It's not expected to last, though - showers are forecast to clear by tomorrow.

We left Vienna on our bikes with our group of 50 on May30th. We have been in a different town each night. We stay in hostels, inns and a college dorm so far. We are in Linz tonight. It is almost 10 PM here now. Very full days of cycling the Velo 6 route. Here are some pics of the lovely bakery goods from the center of Linz. A very very busy place. On a Tuesday at 5 PM almost everything was gone from some shops. Ice cream is incredible here as is everything we have eaten so far. Love the coffee also ! Since we are burning so many calories I can indulge as I wish :) Lovely. Miss all the posts on TFL but will get back to it when I take my starters out of hibernation in mid August when I return to the US. Hope you enjoy...c
lovely ice cream...only 1Euro for a large scoop ! I had caramet today :)
What an interesting and tasty experiment. I usually don't bulk ferment my dough but I decided to try it due to time and space constraints. I made the dough and did a couple s &f's q 20 min .then rest for 1 1/2 hrs then in the fridge it went. I removed it this AM and shaped cold. I always shape cold when I make Ian's buns and love the way the cold dough feels and handles. I made 3/650g boules. It is incredibly easy to shape and get the "free form" burst when the dough is cold as it doesn't really want to stick terribly well. Into the banneton and rising time of 2 1/2 hrs. Lovely..but then I had to go out again ! So back in the fridge for a couple hours. Home and preheat pots 500 degrees. Into the hot pot...down to 460/15 min covered and 15 uncovered. Lovely shape, great rise and wow...the color of the crust and very blistered and nice crunch. Then there is the crumb...oh...my....tender doesn't even come close. The AYW makes magic of the crumb while leaving the crust very crisp and thin and oh so caramelized. The crumb is quite cool and more sour than usual. I am sure it is the extra time in the fridge, the flour combos, the amount/type of levain etc. Whatever...it is so good and I love the very soft fine texture. It went perfectly with the vegetable curry, Basmati rice and toasted almond/pineapple/coriander chutney/raisins/siracha sauce.
I have been feeding my starter durum and AYW, nothing else. Love the way it is responding. 544g AP King Arthur 100g Sprouted spelt 100g Semolina 163g whole wheat 510g whey from my cheese making 14g EVOO 14g honey 22g salt 453g kamut AYW levain 100% hydration mix auto lyse add oil/honey/salt. speed 1 for 1 minute and speed 2 for 3 minutes. s & f as needed..this dough was so responsive out of the mixer that it could have done without any additional s&f so these were token gentle shapings. Rest at room temp for 2 - 2 1/2 hrs. Into fridge overnight. Shape cold...rise 2 or so hours..watch the dough. Bake as noted above. Enjoy ! c
It is Friday and pizza was in order. I wanted to try a different crust from last time . I made up a batch of Sullivan Bread dough yesterday. This AM it was full of bubbles. I divided it into 4 pieces and tossed them with Durum flour and placed them in containers in the fridge. At 3 PM I took two out, just as we got back from our 25 mi bike ride. At 5 PM I put the oven on with the steel in place 6 " below the broiler. Temp set to 550. At 5:45 I turned on the broiler to high/550. The dough balls stretched so easily I thought there must be some mistake :) I topped with a smear of sauce a bit of pepperoni and some fresh mozz and asiago. Into the oven they went ..I turned off the broiler and put it on surround ( a Miele setting that resembles the brick oven...their description) at 4 minutes the first pizza was done ! I took it out and R cut it while I topped #2 and placed it in the oven. I didn't turn the broiler back on till the last minute...perfection. The bottom crust has the best char and it is crisp !!
And...the best part...the Durum flour was so perfect as a non-stick surface that I was able to slide those babies right from the peel to the steel and no swearing or mess ensued !! Amazing. There are two balls aging in the fridge. I am going to do them Sunday night for Chef son and see what he thinks :)
#! #2 perfect char on the bottom !
I bought 5/500g bags of Italian Chestnut flour a number of years ago. Somehow I never found anything that I liked to use it in so it sat in the freezer in its vacuum packs waiting...and waiting..and....well you get the idea. I have been cleaning out and sorting and using up . I decided to only cook from my larder for 2014 , at least as much as possible.
I fed my starter with rye and apple yeast water. The dough was made with equal parts chestnut/whole wheat /durum. Dough water was 1/2 whey. The flavor is remarkable. Very full of complex grains and earthy. Sweetness as you chew. Crumb is very tender and a lovely crunch to the crust. It is easy to get a bold bake with the chestnut flour , I have found. Baked at 500 in hot pots for 10 min and then 460 for 5 min and lid off for 20 min. I am really pleased with this bread.
Ian had posted a date SD and I thought I would go with that basic idea. I added 100g toasted almonds and 2 tbsp grated orange zest. Levain was my rye starter fed with apple yeast water. I used whey for 292g of the dough water and AYW for the rest . I soaked the coarsley chopped dates in warm whey but didn't cook them down. I divided it into 3 boules. Great fragrance and very tender crumb. Sticky goodness when you get a date chunk. Baked in 500 degree pots for 5 min. and then 10 min at 460 lid removed and 15 more min. Bold bake and nice ears.
My husband is an artist when it comes to pasta. Always wonderful . Tonight homemade tagliatelle and a shrimp topping based on one that our son , the Chef , makes frequently. Preserved lemon and capers are the key...oh...and the homemade hot cure peppers. If you want the recipe just ask...I will be glad to forward the gist of the idea .c
oh my...apple pie !
before baking... after...most amazing...2 apples and a small amount of " goop"...if you want I will post the link to recipe...so easy.
I hadn't baked in a while and hadn't used my AYW in weeks! Got my odds and ends of partial bags of flour out and voila....lovely bake. Fed my 100% hydration rye starter with spelt and AWY 2x a few hours apart...it was SO active I had to refrigerate it overnight. Used up 65g Semolina, 42 grams Italian Chestnut flour, 86 grams Kamut, 123 grams sprouted Rye and 458 grams AP KA. Mixed and autolysed with 640 g water without salt for 1 hr. Added salt and used speed 2 for 5 min . Very slack dough but responded well to s&f's. Fermented room temp for 2 hrs with s&f q 30 min x4 and then 1 hr more at room temp. Shaped 2 boules and immediately retarded over-night. Baked cold this AM in 500 degree pots for 20 min. covered...sprayed 10 x in pot with filtered water then covered....uncovered and 20 min open. The fragrance is wonderful. Will post crumb shots later.
first of Spring...asparagus quiche. I use buttermilk for the crust and in the filling...broiled the asparagus first. Delicious.
crumb shots added. I couldn't be MORE pleased with this bread. What a crust and crumb. Full body flavor...very very wheaty. I am impressed with the caramelization of the crust and note how uniform the crust thickness is all the way around the slice. Chewy and almost candy-like. Rich brown color to the crumb and exquisitely tender due to the AYW. Love the glisten to the crumb . My camera doesn't want to catch the dark crust but it is way darker than in the pics. I baked it to 212. What else to say....if I never made another SD loaf but this one I would be more than content.
What a lovely bread! As has already been said this has a tender cool crumb and a pronounced wheat flavor and pleasant faint sour. I didn't get quite the large holes as in Franco's bake but I altered the formulas a bit. I doubled the amounts that Franco posted. So I had about 2000 g of dough. I shaped this into 3 boules. Thus more handling. I used the 2 starters and the only thing I altered was the whey I fed the starters. I have a lot of it as I make a lot of soft curd cheese. I put all the dough flour in all but 10% of the water and let it autolyse overnight. I have done this with all my bakes lately and really love the way the gluten develops the next day. I also used sprouted rye flour for all of the dark rye called for . I baked it in preheated 500 degree iron pots. Straight from the fridge. I wasn't sure about rise times so I let the dough rise for 1 hr in the banneton before I retarded it. No counter time prior to bake. 5 minutes in covered pot at 500, 15 min at 460 and then uncover pots and 15 min at 460. Internal temp 212.
I got a lovely caramelized crust and small ears :) I will definitely make this again. Look forward to seeing how the flavor profile changes over the next days. just out of the fridge:
Great sweet potato rolls. I had more potatoes so upped the % of ingredients. The dough is lovely to work with. I decreased the yeast as I wasn't going to bake them yesterday. Substituted my whey for milk. The dough responded very well to a long slow rise on the counter and then retarded in the fridge. Filled with bubbles. Very easy to shape when cold. I retarded 15 of them....50 oz of dough...in a 13x9 covered container. Today all I did was turn it over on a lightly floured countertop and cut them with a dough blade and barely shape and placed in a greased 13x9 pan ! Easy. Rose for an hour brushed with butter and baked . These are delicious. Lovely rich flavor and slight sweet potato taste comes through We had them with curried butternut squash soup. I froze half. Will definitely make these again.
risen and ready for oven: crumb:

Keywords: Sun beds
The Nordic Radiation Safety Authorities advice against the use of sun beds for people under the age of 18 and people with light skin. In a new joint recommendation the four authorities in Finland, Sweden, Iceland and Norway now propose an age limit of 18 years for the use of sun beds.
Ultraviolet radiation significantly increases the risk of developing skin cancer. Children and adolescents are the most sensitive. Those who burned themselves at an early age run a larger risk of developing malignant melanoma later in life. Malignant melanoma is considered to be the most serious form of skin-cancer.
A basic and internationally accepted principle for radiation protection is that any practice involving radiation must be justifiable, i.e. do more good than harm. The World Health Organisation based International Agency for Research on Cancer (WHO-IARC) has now classified UV-emitting tanning devices as "carcinogenic to humans". This fact raises serious questions on the justification behind using sunbeds for tanning purposes.
The authorities therefore recommend regulation of tanning facilities open to the public that includes the prohibition of use, sale or hire of sunbeds for people below 18 years of age. Such regulations have already been implemented in several countries in Europe.

What was I saying? Oh yeah, Vieux Quebec. the people here-as in Montreal-have been amazing. Food maybe even more so. I love the availability of fresh and artisan food products. I really wish we ate like this down in the states (we don't). The place we are staying is almost directly next to the Chateau Frontenac, so the view is gorgeous. And the view of the St. Lawrence river from the landing by the Frontenac? Breathtaking. It's unfortunate that so much of the surrounding area appears to be super-industrialized, but cities have to grow I guess. Seeing it here just makes you wish they had kept the same architectural integrity throughout the whole vicinity, not just old town. The snow tonight though? Truly magical. Kylie and I threw on our winter garb the minute it started and headed down to Rue St. Jean. We walked around, got some crepes, and spent the entire walk home having a snowball fight. I really feel quite at home in my little corner of Quebec here. Plenty more days here, but so far, so great.

Accreditation report presented to Moffat County School Board
September 27, 2012
In other action …
At it's regular meeting Thursday, the Moffat County School Board:
• Unanimously approved the first reading of policy 1501, Community Based Funding.
• Unanimously approved the first reading of policy 5105, Equal Education Opportunities
• Unanimously approved the first reading of policy 5515, Sexual Harassment
• Unanimously approved the first reading of policy 1111, Accreditation
• Unanimously approved the first reading of policy 4231, Administration Salary Schedule
• Unanimously approved superintendent, Dr. Joe Petrone, to sit on the Economic Development Partnership Board.
In a presentation to the Moffat County School Board on Thursday night, assistant superintendent Brent Curtice had good things to report about the district's accreditation.
Identified by four performance indicators within performance frameworks, schools receive ratings in the area of academic achievement, academic growth, academic growth gaps, and postsecondary and workforce readiness.
Performance indicator ratings were exceeds, meets, approaching and does not meet.
Points and ratings were assigned at every indicator. Below 30 percent classified as turnaround, 33-47 percent classified as priority improvement, 47-69 percent classified as improvement and 60 percent or above classified as performance.
The district was accredited with improvement. Sandrock, Craig Middle School and East Elementary were accredited with performance. Moffat County High School and Ridgeview were accredited with improvement. Sunset was accredited with priority improvement and Maybell is still in appeal for processing.
In presenting the data, Curtice said the district would be analyzing the performance framework reports, then reviewing their unified improvement plan and updating it to meet needs.
Curtice said a major part of this would be aligning curriculum, which is Understanding by Design.
"Without a unified curriculum, we can't establish where the gaps are," said Curtice. "We received the report a couple of days ago and have been compiling it. Now we need to digest it, dig deeply and look at root causes of what went well, what didn't go so well and where we might have slipped."
Curtice then proceeded to present the district's performance on TCAP, using data compiled by the Colorado Department of Education.
The CDE's Colorado growth model used blue bubbles to represent Moffat County School District's individual schools achievement and growth.

"Without great leadership we're not going to move," said Curtice, "The blue bubbles are moving because of the leadership team we have here."

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
We have a very dear young man who is in Afghanistan who I keep in touch with through emails. He told me about a machine that he saw over there but at the time could not remember the name of it. Long story short he is here for a visit and we had a big BBQ last night, out of the blue, he turned to me and said "Seagull" and I said "what are you talking about. "That sewing machine, that's was the name of it". I've not heard the name before so when I got home did a search hoping to find a picture, but came up with nothing. Would any of you have any info. A curious mind would like to know. Thanks
Whatever I said in anger, Whatever I shouted in spite, I'm sorry I spoke so quickly--I thought of some worse ones tonight.
But what I find worst are the posters that post to say that they will show or share information, but then they never follow through with that promise. Or when they are asked questions and/or one makes suggestions for them, they never show recognition. What ever happened to a thanks.
One spends the time to take an interest in them, answer their questions, and be their audience only to be jerked around by them.
I have to learn to ignore and move on...maybe it will be today.
I've gotten .... well I wouldn't say more patient with people as I've grown old, but they just don't trip my irritate switch like they used to.
Learning to ignore them ..... perhaps but not yesterday.
"Most sewing machine problems are due to the carbon based unit in the chair in front of the machine"
"Most sewing machine problems are due to the carbon based unit in the chair in front of the machine"
I have been reading along, but being quiet. Like everyone else, gearing up for holiday projects, Halloween forward. I did a new fall flag to hang out by our driveway; also I have been working on several quilts and a bridesmaids dress, and two princess Halloween costumes that are also going to Disney this November to a tea party. I had to chime in on the idiocy in the world though. My mom used to say that there is compounded ignorance in many places, including our home town. Some people do no treasure the sewing machines at all. My first cousin just had a garage sale, and I bought 2 machines for $20-one is a Kenmore 158 with the big rectangular base, olive green, weighs a ton, sews like a dream. The other is a newer Dressmaker from the late 70's or early 80's, included all the cams and what have you. Not half the machine the Kenmore is for sure, but sews ok. Oiled them up, and wiped them down, and ready to go. Yall have acquired some pretty machines, and done some nice quilts, too. Here in Louisiana, it seems like it is too hot or too cold to get out to refinish some cabinets. And the dang west nile virus here is crazy this year, so I have been inside a lot. Keep up the good work. Oh, and I found a man who goes to auctions to get things for his monthly garage sales, and have him on the hunt for a red machine for me, or anything interesting that isn't too pricey, so I can't wait to see what he drags up.
I'm getting older....I tend to forget things and as many times as I've written notes, or told myself "I will not forget", I do! An offer of information is not a promise. If I make an offer and after a few days you haven't received it, please remind me. I have a life beyond this quilt board and often forget I was going to do something, or even when to go somewhere. People are human and humans are imperfect. Sad that one may think my forgetfulness is "jerking" someone around, or ignorance on my part.
I'm not "dis'n'" anyone....just thinking life has worse things to offer than this....my sister has lung cancer, my coworker's brother has throat cancer, my brother has an undiagnosed incapacitating pain in his legs and feet, my husband suffered a pituitary tumor, on and on and on! And still life goes on. Forgive and forget. Ignore and move on. LOL!
On the sewing machine ignorance...my husbands cousin found their grandmothers sewing machine in the haymow of the barn as they were getting ready to tear it down. All rusted and horrible deplorable condition. He sandblasted it and primed it gray. Everything nice about it was ruined. But he gave it to me and it means the world to us as it was their grandma's. Someday we may find a Billy who is willing to do a paint for us. If not we have the story to tell to the grandkids. The manual was in the cabinet and so we do have a pic of what it should look like. Wouldn't it have been nice to have a pic of grandma using it?? Remember that ladies and gents....the machine you leave to your kids/grandkids will mean much more if they remember you using it or see pics of you using it. I think I may go set up the tripod now and do some self pics at every machine!! (Unless I forget to do it!!!) LOL! And then I'll go develop and stick a pic in the drawer of every cabinet...and the FW will have a pic in the box.....and the carry cases of the other machines! Unless...I.....4...get.....again!!!
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
Hi Everyone! I've been away from here for a while, due to access issues with my work computer, but appears I can get back on. Hope everyone is good. I lurk sometimes from home, and I see Charlee has had some health issues. I sent her a PM last night.
Well, I got another old Davis VF1...it's probably 1893. I got it locally, which was amazing!! Not in great shape, but she sews well. The cabinet is damaged, so DH has some work to do. He has it clamped together right now so it won't shake apart when I treadle her. The coffin top is with it (amazingly!), but it's damaged, too, so another repair job. Overall I'm very happy with her...she came with some of her attachments and some needles and some bobbins. She was in the same family for about 85 years, and stored in a hot garage for the last 35 years. I'm glad I got to rescue her...the guy's mother was going to take her to the dump!! Here's a pic.
I'm so glad that you were able to rescue her from certain death! The things people throw away.

God of Hunger HTML version
over by any other.' And Poland? "There are some grounds for believing that the
elimination of an upper class at a more developed stage can be a disaster for a
country: and most certainly when the removal is due to the intervention of
another nation.'
Of culture and its associated social ramifications Marisha was to hear a lot
more of in the course of her work; especially in her many contacts with what
were being referred to in the media as "the chattering classes.'
She did not learn much more from Milosz than she now already knew, but
mention of meeting him boosted her reputation amongst the chatterers.
Tiring of the culture show in London and finally wanting to slough off her skin
as the chameleon she was expected to emulate at sensitive meetings, Marisha
flew to Dar-es-Salaam, seeking Jozef.
There was no one there to ask about him. Or no one she thought should even
know he existed. She went to Songea where his family had their business, but
again nothing. No one even remembered the family let alone Jozef. Her last
throw was to try Kongwa where he had been to school. And there she spoke to
Mr. Patel who revealed as much as he knew. It did not surprise him that people
in Dar-es Salaam and Songea were different or indifferent.
He explained to her that the Teacher's, Mwalimu's, policies of tribal admixture
and displacement meant an ethnic transformation on a national scale. No one
was where they had been. But he certainly knew of Jozef and told her the tale of
the great slaughter and of his escape in the family's Peugeot. He knew
something of the Selous Scouts from letters he had received from family
members in Zambia and Zimbabwe and suggested she fly to Harare to discover
what had happened. "If you see him please tell him that I consider myself lucky
to have lost my pick up and to have kept my thing." "What thing?" she asked.
"Oh, he will tell you if you find him."
In Salisbury, now Harare, Marisha booked into the prestigious Meikles Hotel.
This had remained the last watering hole where the white tribe could still
exercise exclusivity through the power of the purse. It was only ministers and
their entourage who could afford the prices charged. And even they, after the
first exercise of privilege preferred to drink amongst their own kind.
By conversing at the bar Marisha gathered up the sequence of events in Jozef's
life after his raid on Kongwa.
