About Reverend Adoniram Judson, Jr.
Name Suffix: Jr Adoniram Judson: Father of Baptist Missionaries, 1788-1850 by Fred Barlow (Copied with permission from Profiles in Evangelism, ©1976)
American Baptist missionary, lexicographer, and Bible translator to Burma. Born in Massachusetts in 1788. Helped form the American Baptist Missionary Union. In 1834 completed a translation of the whole Bible into the Burmese language. During the Anglo-Burmese War, he spent twenty-one months in prison. From 1845-1847, after thirty-four years in Burma, he took his only furlough to his native land. Returning to Burma, he spent his remaining years working on his English-Burmese dictionary. He died in 1850 and was buried at sea.
By whatever measurement you measure the man Judson -- the measurement always is the same -- he was a mighty man!
Mentally -- he was mammoth. He read at the age of three years, took navigation lessons at ten, studied theology as a child, entered Providence College (now Brown University) at seventeen -- despite the fact he spent one year of his youth out of school in sickness -- and he was a "veritable bookworm." Also, he mastered the Burmese language (possibly the most difficult language to acquire, excepting Chinese), writing and speaking it with the familiarity of a native and the elegance of a cultured scholar, and he also translated the Bible into Burmese. His biographers believe that his translation was "undoubtedly his greatest contribution to the people among whom he chose...to spend and be spent for Christ's sake."
Spiritually -- he was superlative. Despite the fact his father was a Congregational preacher, and in spite of his mother's "tears and pleadings," Judson was not saved until he was 20 years of age. He had become a confirmed deist -- due largely to the influence of a brilliant unbeliever in college who set out to win Judson to his deistic faith, and succeeded.
But, incredibly, Judson's conversion to Christ was due in large measure to that same deist. After graduation Judson left home to become a wanderlust. One night in a country inn his room was adjacent to the room of a dying man. The moaning and groaning of that man through the long night permitted Judson no sleep. His thoughts troubled him. All night questions assailed his soul: "Was the dying man prepared to die?" "Where would he spend eternity?" "Was he a Christian, calm and strong in the hope of life in Heaven?" "Or, was he a sinner shuddering in the dark brink of the lower region?" Judson constantly chided himself for even entertaining such thoughts contrary to his philosophy of life beyond the grave, and thought how his brilliant college friend would rebuke him if he learned of these childish worries.
But the next morning, when Judson inquired of the proprietor as to the identity of the dead man, he was shocked by the most staggering statement he had ever heard: "He was a brilliant young person from Providence College. E______ was his name."
E______ was the unbeliever who had destroyed Judson's faith. "Now he was dead -- and was lost! Was lost! Was lost! Lost! Lost!" Those words raced through his brain, rang in his ears, roared in his soul -- "Was lost! Lost! Lost! There and then Judson realized he was lost, too! He ended his traveling, returned home, entered Andover Theological Seminary and soon "sought God for the pardon of his soul," was saved and dedicated his life to the Master's service!
His conversion not only saved his soul, it smashed his dreams of fame and honor for himself. His one pressing purpose became to "plan his life to please his Lord." In 1809, the same year he joined the Congregational church, he became burdened to become a missionary. He found some friends from Williams College with the same burden and often met with them at a haystack on the college grounds to earnestly pray for the salvation of the heathen and petition God to open doors of ministry as missionaries to them.

Missionary of the American Baptist Missionary Union to the Burman Empire. He was married 3 times ---- one wife is buried in Burma; one at St Helena (off of Africa) and the 3rd (who raised his children) is buried in Hamilton NY at Madison Avenue Cemetery. She became a writer, Fanny Forester.
Adoniram Judson, Jr. (August 9, 1788 – April 12, 1850) was an American Baptist missionary, who served in Burma for almost forty years. At the age of 25, Adoniram Judson became the first Protestant missionary sent from North America to preach in Burma. His mission and work led to the formation of the first Baptist association in America, inspired many Americans to become or support missionaries, translated the Bible into Burmese, and established a number of Baptist churches in Burma.
At times mistakenly referred to as the first missionary to Burma, he was in fact preceded by James Chater and Richard Mardon who arrived in 1807. They were followed by Felix Carey. However, since those who came earlier did not remain very long, Judson is remembered as the first significant missionary there, as well as one of the group of the very first missionaries from America to travel overseas.
Early life
Judson was born on August 9, 1788 in Malden, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. He was the son of a Congregational minister, Adoniram Judson, Sr. and his wife, Abigail (née Brown). Judson entered the College of Rhode Island & Providence Plantations (now Brown University) at the age of sixteen, and graduated as valedictorian of his class at the age of nineteen. While studying at college, he met a young man named Jacob Eames, a devout deist and skeptic. Judson and Eames developed a strong friendship, leading to Judson's abandonment of his childhood faith and religious instruction of his parents. During this time, he embraced the writings of the French philosophies. The year following his graduation from college, Judson opened a school and wrote an English grammar and mathematics textbook for girls.
Judson's deist views were shaken when his friend Eames died violently from sickness. Judson was sleeping at an inn, hearing the person next door expiring violently; the next morning he inquired as to his anonymous neighbor's health or outcome. The clerk answered that Mr. Eames had indeed died. The shock of finding it was his own friend – and that Eames had led Judson away from the Christian faith into skepticism, but was now dead – brought Judson back to the faith of his youth. Judson's conversion occurred while attending the Andover Theological Seminary. In 1808, Judson "made a solemn dedication of himself to God". This was followed by his decision to serve as a missionary during his final year of school.
In 1810, Judson joined a group of mission-minded students at Andover who called themselves "the Brethren". The students at Andover inspired the establishment of America's first organized missionary society. He was eager to serve abroad and became convinced that "Asia with its idolatrous myriads, was the most important field in the world for missionary effort". He appeared before the Congregation Church's General Association to appeal for support for their mission. In 1810, impressed by the polite behavior of the four men and their sincerity, the elders voted to form an American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.
Voyage to London
On January 11, 1811 Judson arrived in Liverpool from Boston, aboard the ship Packet. he was in England to visit the London Missionary Society. He had made the journey overseas, since a missionary sending agency did not yet exist in America. The trip was complicated by a French privateer, L'Invincible Napoleon, who captured the ship and took everyone prisoner.
The ship arrived at Le Passage, in Spain, and the prisoners were transferred to Bayonne, France. After a short imprisonment, Judson was released. On April 16, he arrived in Paris, crossed the English Channel from Morlaix to Dartmouth and arrived in London on May 3. He visited the Missionary Seminary at Gosport, returning to New York aboard the Augustus in August.
Commissioning and marriage
On September 19, Judson was appointed by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions as a missionary to the East. Judson was also commissioned by the Congregational Church, and soon married Ann Hasseltine on February 5, 1812. He was ordained the next day at the Tabernacle Church in Salem. On February 19, he set sail aboard the brig Caravan with Luther Rice; Samuel and Harriett Newell; and his wife, Ann (known as "Nancy") Judson.
Ministry background
Voyage to India
The Judsons arrived in Calcutta on June 17, 1812. While aboard ship on route to India, he did a focused study on the theology of baptism. He came to the position that believer's baptism was theologically valid and should be done as a matter of obedience to the command of Jesus (Matthew 28:19–20).
On September 6, 1812, he switched to the Baptist denomination along with his wife and they were baptized by immersion in Calcutta by an English missionary associate of William Carey named William Ward.
Both the local and British authorities did not want Americans evangelizing Hindus in the area, so the group of missionaries separated and sought other mission fields. They were ordered out of India by the British East India Company, to whom American missionaries were even less welcome than British (they were baptized in September, and already in June, the United States had declared war on England). The following year, on July 13, 1813, he moved to Burma, and en route his wife miscarried their first child aboard ship.
Judson offered to Baptists in the United States to serve as their missionary. Luther Rice who had also converted, was in poor health and returned to America where his work and William Carey's urging; resulted in the 1814 formation of the first national Baptist denomination in the United States for Foreign Missions (commonly called the Triennial Convention) and its offshoot the American Baptist Missionary Union.
Missionaries in Burma
It was another difficult year before the Judsons finally reached their intended destination, Burma. Buddhist Burma, Judson was told by the Serampore Baptists, was impermeable to Christian evangelism. Judson, who already knew Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, immediately began studying the Burmese grammar but took over three years learning to speak it. This was due, in part, to the radical difference in structure between Burmese and that of Western languages. He found a tutor and spent twelve hours per day studying the language. He and his wife firmly dedicated themselves to understanding it.
During this time they were almost entirely isolated from contact with any European or American. This was the case for their first three years in Burma. Four years passed before Judson dared even to hold a semi-public service. At first, he tried adapting to Burmese customs by wearing a yellow robe to mark himself as a teacher of religion, but he soon changed to white to show he was not a Buddhist. Then, he gave up the whole attempt as artificial and decided that, regardless of his dress, no Burmese would identify him as anything but a foreigner.
He accommodated to some Burmese customs and built a zayat, the customary bamboo and thatch reception shelter, on the street near his home as a reception room and meeting place for Burmese men. Fifteen men came to his first public meeting in April 1819. He was encouraged but suspected they had come more out of curiosity than anything else. Their attention wandered, and they soon seemed uninterested. Two months later, he baptized his first Burmese convert, Maung Naw, a 35-year-old timber worker from the hill tribes.
First attempts by the Judsons to interest the natives of Rangoon with the Gospel of Jesus met with almost total indifference. Buddhist traditions and the Burmese world view at that time led many to disregard the pleadings of Adorniram and his wife to believe in one living and all-powerful God. To add to their discouragement, their second child, Roger William Judson, died at almost eight months of age.
Judson completed translation of the Grammatical Notices of the Burman Language the following July and the Gospel of Matthew, in 1817. Judson began public evangelism in 1818 sitting in a zayat by the roadside calling out "Ho! Everyone that thirsteth for knowledge!" The first believer was baptized in 1819, and there were 18 believers by 1822.
In 1820, Judson and a fellow missionary named Colman attempted to petition the Emperor of Burma, King Bagyidaw, in the hope that he would grant freedom for the missionaries to preach and teach throughout the country, as well as remove the sentence of death that was given for those Burmese who changed religion.
Bagyidaw disregarded their appeal and threw one of their Gospel tracts to the ground after reading a few lines. The missionaries returned to Rangoon and met with the fledgling church there to consider what to do next. The progress of Christianity would continue to be slow with much risk of endangerment and death in the Burmese Empire.
It took Judson 12 years to make 18 converts. Nevertheless, there was much to encourage him. He had written a grammar of the language that is still in use today and had begun to translate the Bible.
His wife, Ann, was even more fluent in the spoken language of the people than her more academically literate husband. She befriended the wife of the viceroy of Rangoon, as quickly as she did illiterate workers and women.
A printing press had been sent from Serampore, and a missionary printer, George H. Hough, who arrived from America with his wife in 1817, produced the first printed materials in Burmese ever printed in Burma, which included 800 copies of Judson's translation of the Gospel of Matthew. The chronicler of the church, Maung Shwe Wa, concludes this part of the story, "So was born the church in Rangoon–logger and fisherman, the poor and the rich, men and women. One traveled the whole path to Christ in three days; another took two years. But once they had decided for Christ they were his for all time."
One of the early disciples was U Shwe Ngong, a teacher and leader of a group of intellectuals dissatisfied with Buddhism, who were attracted to the new faith. He was a Deist skeptic to whose mind the preaching of Judson, once a college skeptic himself, was singularly challenging. After consideration, he assured Judson that he was ready to believe in God, Jesus Christ, and the atonement.
Judson, instead of welcoming him to the faith, pressed him further asking if he believed what he had read in the gospel of Matthew that Jesus the son of God died on the cross. U Shwe Ngong shook his head and said, "Ah, you have caught me now. I believe that he suffered death, but I cannot believe he suffered the shameful death on the cross."[citation needed] Not long after, he came back to tell Judson, "I have been trusting in my own reason, not the word of God…. I now believe the crucifixion of Christ because it is contained in scripture."
The essence of Judson's preaching was a combination of conviction of the truth with the rationality of the Christian faith, a firm belief in the authority of the Bible, and a determination to make Christianity relevant to the Burmese mind without violating the integrity of Christian truth, or as he put it, "to preach the gospel, not anti-Buddhism."
By 1823, ten years after his arrival, membership of the little church had grown to 18, and Judson had finally finished the first draft of his translation of the entire text of the New Testament in Burmese.
Anglo-Burmese War (1824–1826)
Two irreconcilable hungers triggered the First Anglo-Burmese War of 1824: Burma's desire for more territory, and Britain's desire for more trade. Burma threatened Assam and Bengal; Britain responded by attacking and absorbing two Burmese provinces into her India holdings to broaden her trade routes to East Asia. The war was a rough interruption of the Baptists' missionary work. English-speaking Americans were too easily confused with the enemy and suspected of spying.
Judson was imprisoned for 17 months during the war between the United Kingdom and Burma, first at Ava and then at Aung Pinle. Judson and Price were violently arrested. Officers led by an official executioner burst into the Judson home, threw Judson to the ground in front of his wife, bound him with torture thongs, and dragged him off to the infamous, vermin-ridden death prison of Ava.
Twelve agonizing months later, Judson and Price, along with a small group of surviving Western prisoners, were marched overland, barefoot and sick, for six more months of misery in a primitive village near Mandalay. Of the sepoy British prisoners-of-war imprisoned with them, all but one died.
The sufferings and brutalities of those 20 long months and days in prison, half-starved, iron-fettered, and sometimes trussed and suspended by his mangled feet with only head and shoulders touching the ground is described in detail by his wife, shortly after his release.
Ann was perhaps the greater model of supreme courage. Heedless to all threats against herself, left alone as the only Western woman in an absolute and anti-Christian monarchy at war with the West, beset with raging fevers and nursing a tiny baby that her husband had not yet seen, she rushed from office to office in desperate attempts to keep her husband alive and win his freedom.
The end of the war should have been a time of rejoicing for the mission. As soon as her husband was released by the Burmese, Ann wrote that one good result of the war could be that terms of the treaty which ceded Burmese provinces to the British might provide opportunity to expand the witness of the mission into unreached parts of the country.
On October 24, 1826, Ann died at Amherst (now Kyaikkami), Burma, a victim of the long, dreadful months of disease, death, stress and loneliness that had been hers for 21 months. Their third child died six months later. She died while her husband was out exploring the ceded province of Tenasserim. It was in the wild hills of that newly British province of Tenasserim that the first signs of rapid growth in Protestant Christianity in Burma began. Within a few years of the end of the war, Baptist membership doubled on an average of every eight years for the 32 years between 1834 and 1866.
The collapse of Burma's armies brought Judson out of prison, but his release was not complete freedom. In 1826, several months after the surrender, Burma pressed Judson into service as a translator for the peace negotiations. Some have used Judson's acceptance of a role in the treaty negotiations as evidence of complicity in imperialism, but it should be noted that he first acted on behalf of the defeated Burmese as translator, not for the Western victors.
Three significant factors had a part, though not the only part, in the rise of the Burmese Baptist churches. Most of the growth was in British-ruled territory, rather than the Burmese-ruled kingdom. It may also be significant that after an Anglo-Burmese war, the missionaries were American, not British. The most telling factor was religion. Most of the growth came from animist tribes, rather than from the major population group, the Buddhist Burmese. The first Burmese pastor he ordained was Ko-Thah-a, one of the original group of converts, who refounded the church at Rangoon.
Karen apostle
While the nation was Burmese, a lost province of Great Britain, and the missionaries were American, the apostle of that first numerically significant evangelistic breakthrough was neither Burman, British, nor American. He was a Karen, Ko Tha Byu. Credit is due also to the three missionary pioneers to the Karen people, George Boardman and his wife, Sarah; and Adoniram Judson.
The Karen people were a primitive, hunted minority group of ancient Tibeto-Burman ancestry scattered in the forests and jungles of the Salween River and in the hills along the southeast coast. Judson was the first missionary to make contact with them in 1827, when he ransomed and freed a debt-slave from one of his early converts. The freed slave, Ko Tha Byu, was an illiterate, surly man who spoke almost no Burmese and was reputed to be not only a thief, but also a murderer who admitted killing at least 30 men, but could not remember exactly how many more.
In 1828, the former Karen bandit, "whose rough, undisciplined genius, energy and zeal for Christ"[citation needed] had caught the notice of the missionaries, was sent south with a new missionary couple, the Boardmans, into the territory of the strongly animistic, non-Buddhist Karen. Ko Tha Byu was no sooner baptized,[16] when he set off into the jungle alone to preach to his fellow tribe members. Astonishingly, he found them prepared for his preaching. Their ancient oracle traditions, handed down for centuries, contained some startling echoes of the Old Testament that some scholars conjecture a linkage with Jewish communities (or possibly even Nestorians), before their migrations from western China into Burma perhaps as early as the 12th century.
The core of what they called their "Tradition of the Elders" was a belief in an unchangeable, eternal, all-powerful God, creator of heaven and earth, of man, and of woman formed from a rib taken from the man.[citation needed] They believed in humanity's temptation by a devil, and its fall, and that some day a messiah would come to its rescue. They lived in expectation of a prophecy that white foreigners would bring them a sacred parchment roll.
While the Boardmans and Ko Tha Byu were penetrating the jungles to the south, Judson shook off a paralyzing year-long siege of depression that overcame him after the death of his wife and set out alone on long canoe trips up the Salween River into the tiger-infested jungles to evangelize the northern Karen. Between trips, he worked unceasingly at his lifelong goal of translating the entire Bible into Burmese. When he finished it at last in 1834, he had been labouring on it for 24 years. It was printed and published in 1835.
In April of that same year, he married Sarah Hall Boardman, widow of fellow missionary George Boardman. They had eight children, five of whom survived to adulthood. Sarah's health began failing and physicians recommended a return to America. Sarah died en route at St. Helena on September 1, 1845. He continued home, where he was greeted as a celebrity and toured the eastern seaboard raising the profile of and money for missionary activity. Because he could barely speak above a whisper, due to pulmonary illness, his public addresses were made by speaking to an assistant, who would then address the audience.
On June 2, 1846, Judson married for the third time, to writer Emily Chubbuck, who he had commissioned to write memoirs for Sarah Hall Boardman. They had a daughter born in 1847.
Judson lived to approve and welcome the first single women as missionaries to Burma. A general rule of the mission had hitherto prevented such appointments. Judson said it was "probably a good rule, but our minds should not be closed"[citation needed] to making exceptions. The first two exceptions were extraordinary.
Sarah Cummings arrived in 1832. Cummings proved her mettle at once, choosing to work alone with Karen evangelists in the malaria-ridden Salween River valley north of Moulmein, but within two years she died of fever.
In 1835, a second single woman, Eleanor Macomber, after five years of mission to the Ojibway Indians in Michigan, joined the mission in Burma. Alone, with the help of Karen evangelistic assistants, she planted a church in a remote Karen village and nurtured it to the point where it could be placed under the care of an ordinary missionary. She lived five years and died of jungle fever.
Judson developed a serious lung disease and doctors prescribed a sea voyage as a cure. On April 12, 1850, he died at age 61 onboard ship in the Bay of Bengal and was buried at sea, having spent 37 years in missionary service abroad with only one trip back home to America. A memorial to Judson was built on Burial Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
When Judson began his mission in Burma, he set a goal of translating the Bible and founding a church of 100 members before his death. When he died, he left the Bible, 100 churches, and over 8,000 believers. In large part due to his influence, Myanmar has the third largest number of Baptists worldwide, behind the United States and India. The majority of adherents are Karen and Kachin.
Each July, Baptist churches in Myanmar celebrate "Judson Day," commemorating his arrival as a missionary. Inside the campus of Yangon University is Judson Church, named in his honor, and in 1920 Judson College, named in his honor, merged into Rangoon College, which has since been renamed Yangon University.
Judson compiled the first ever Burmese-English dictionary. The English-Burmese half was interrupted by his death and completed by missionary E. A. Steven. Every dictionary and grammar written in Burma in the last two centuries has been based on ones originally created by Judson. Judson "became a symbol of the preeminence of Bible translation for" Protestant missionaries.
In the 1950s, Burma's Buddhist prime minister U Nu told the Burma Christian Council "Oh no, a new translation is not necessary. Judson's captures the language and idiom of Burmese perfectly and is very clear and understandable." His translation remains the most popular version in Myanmar.
His change of persuasion to the validity of believer's baptism, and subsequent need of support, led to the founding of the first national Baptist organization in the United States and subsequently to all American Baptist associations, including the Southern Baptists that were the first to break off from the national organization. The printing of his wife Ann's letters about their mission inspired many Americans to become or support Christian missionaries. There are at least 36 Baptist churches in the United States named after him, Judson University in Illinois is named after him, as well as the town of Judsonia, Arkansas, and Judson College in Alabama is named after his wife Ann.
At his alma mater, Brown University, there is a house named after him, which is owned by Christian Union.
Judson is honored with a feast day on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (USA) on April 12.
In World War II, the United States liberty ship SS Adoniram Judson was named in his honor.

decor8 reader, Laura W., is looking for a sofa and needs your help. She says, "I found one online that I love from Club Furniture, but I am not sure about their quality. Have you heard anything about them? I'm feeling a little iffy about buying a sofa without trying it out first."
I've not shopped them before, but it appears as though they offer a great warranty, which includes a 20 day no frills money back guarantee, even stating they'll pay the return freight on the item (not the original shipping fees, but everything else would be refunded). Not bad!
In addition to the warranty, I'd call them directly and see what kind of customer service they provide. Ask lots of questions and get a feel for them over the phone. I'd also check out the Better Business Bureau online. I go there whenever I question a company that I'm about to deal with. It seems that Club Furniture is owned by One Source Plus, Inc., so do a search under that name and see where it gets you. If they've had an unusual amount of complaints, you'll learn about those there.
decor8 readers, have any of you ever purchased a sofa online without experiencing it first hand? What are your thoughts on this? Has anyone shopped with Club Furniture before?
Thanks Laura for writing in!

YOUNGSTERS at West End Infant School showed parents what fun science can be at a special evening organised by teachers.
Pupils aged four to seven demonstrated their scientific knowledge with activities about different materials, forces and electrical circuits.
Chris Jenkin, headteacher of the York Road school, said: "Lots of parents came back and were really enthusiastic about the evening, and the children were just so proud of all the things they could do.
"It was really good because parents could see all the practical things the children do, for which there is no form of recording but where it is the experience that matters.
"It was a huge success. The staff had put in a lot of time organising this for the children, whose brothers and sisters also came, and it was a delightful evening.
"The secret to any learning is enjoyment and enthusiasm and the children certainly had that. We will definitely do it again."

I was able to do 5.2L/100 Km @ 112 Kph using cruise control on a 2 hour flat strech of highway (Montreal/Quebec). 2 adults, some luggage with A/C 'cause it was during summer. Also, my car gets 8.2L/100Km for my daily commute. It's been like this for months. I had a SE 2013 Flex fuel loaner with 3800 Km on it and used it for 2 days to use it to get to work. I got 8.2L/100Km out of it. Same numbers, same usage. The only difference is the flex fuel option the loaner had that I dont have on my car. But then again, the Flex Fuel thing does not much help when stuck in traffic as it is, I beleive, an aero dynamical thing only.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Wat? I'm a girl now?!
False, but Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.
My opinion is that of which I have learned and applied in my life:
Your individual cells use the macronutrients from your food in ways you can't determine by just thinking it or by what particular foods you eat.
If others have their own opinions, cool.
bodies are literally built from food. not magic.

You are here: Kidspot Activity Corner Party games Make flower magnets
Make flower magnets
Making flower magnets is a quick, easy and inexpensive gift idea. They are fun to make and easy so the children can help out too.
What you need:
- A bunch of fake flowers from a haberdashery store or bargain store
- A pair of kitchen scissors (the plastic can be stiff)
- Superglue or hot glue gun
- Plain round magnets from craft stores or bargain stores
Pull the flower tops off the wire stems.
Hold the flower together tightly and cut the stem at the base so that all you have remaining is the flower.
Still holding the flower together, squeeze a little dab of glue between each layer of petals to hold the flower together. Allow to dry.
Add glue to the centre of the magnet and fix the flower into place. Allow to dry.

Linkin Park - Minutes to Midnight
Linkin Park's video for "Bleed out" is nominated for the music video with the best special effects.
For simple, mostly laid back and, fairly, feel-good folk, this is my go to. Music elitist might burst in laughter. But, this is pretty good album.Tags: music, CD, rock, folk, stocking stuffers, compact discsAdded 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com

Well i just had my new clutch install and I assume that it is grabing much better than my stock one. I just got the clutch broken in and last night i was driving it with some WOT runs now that it is broken in. I normally slip 2nd a little bit but im getitng used to the new pedel pressure and i came off on 2nd kind of harder than i normally do, well I hear a loud clunk which sounds like its comming from right underneath my shifter. I had my buddy in the car and we both were like WTF? So i get to another light and i do it again and i shift my normal shift just with a tiny less slip and again i hear the CLUNK! Almost a pop. I heard something similar to this in my 2002 and then 3 months later i was putting in a new rear diff. I am assuming that i am at the edge of my powertrain limits with my setup. Does anyone think that this might be the center diff? ideas to maybe solving it.
I run uncle scottys cocktail in the tranny, mobile 1 in the rear diff 75-90w I also just changed the rear diff fluid and when i drained it there was no metal at all on the magnet. I filled it till it started to come out of the top set screw where i was filling it. tighened it all up and seems fine. Ideas?

Displaying Mixed Numbers
While working with my third grader, I discovered the need
to make 5/3 display and print as 1 2/3 so she can check her
I couldn't find a way to do this easily, so I wrote the following which
does the job. Is there an easier or better way?
Thanks. Jim Graber

CAROLYN AND JEREMY'S WEDDINGJune, 2009 in St. Charles
"Overall, we had a great wedding weekend! Everything went as planned and we were really happy with how everything turned out. The day before the wedding was quite stressful, running around and taking care of all the last minute details, but the day of the wedding was perfect. St. Charles is a cute city and I was glad to get married there. :)"

Naperville, IL, United States
"We were pretty happy with Admit One DJs. Our wedding DJ Matt was wonderful and fun and played the music in a way that got people dancing and kept them dancing most of the night. We liked that we got to make our own list of music (must haves, do not plays, etc) beforehand, and Matt mostly stuck to the list but also threw in a few good songs that were similar styles. It was fairly expensive though to get our DJ from them, and we had a few minor issues with things like making the payments (they never sent out reminder emails or phone calls, so you really had to be on top of the payment schedule yourself... also, you had to pay with a check or a mailed in form with your Credit Card information and had to use a new form for each of the three payments. It would have been way easier to pay with a credit card through their website!). But overall, we were happy with Admit One DJs and would recommend them, especially if you can get Matt as your DJ!"

While many women dread the thought of adding another year to their age, Adele was excited to turn 27 on Tuesday (May 5), as evidenced by her silly Twitter photo.
The "Rolling in the Deep" diva got all done up in drag and posed in a series of snapshots as her musical idol George Michael, complete with stubbly beard and aviator sunglasses.
They're both on top of their respective games and Lady Gaga and Adele just so happened to run into each other while out and about in London last night (January 21).
The "Just Dance" diva was thrilled to hang out with the "Rolling in the Deep" songstress and of course they posed for a cell phone selfie together.
It's no secret that relationships are hard work and Adele isn't going to let some pesky false reports ruin her union with Simon Konecki.
The "Rumor Has It" songstress sent out a friendly greeting to her Twitter followers on Sunday (December 28), wishing them a great New Year and denying claims that she and her beau are on the outs. Adele tweeted, "Just wanted to wish everyone happy holidays & all the best for 2015! PS Simon & I are still very much together, don't believe what you read."
Her album 21 is one of the best-selling of all time, and now there are two unheard tracks from Adele from her 2010 sessions.
The "Rolling in the Deep" dame's previously-unreleased ditties "Never Gonna Leave You" and "You'll Never See Me Again" seem to tell two very different tales, though they're both about love.
Who knew that a baby could file a lawsuit? Anything is possible in Hollywood! Adele's one-year-old son, Angela James Konekci, won a five figure lawsuit against Corbis Images UK.
The suit was filed after the paparazzi agency photographed private moments between the "Rolling in the Deep" singer and her toddler.
No one ever accused her of rushing out records, and Adele is taking her sweet time releasing the follow-up to her massive hit 21.
The "Rolling in the Deep" dame will put her third album on the market later this year and she has chosen the appropriate title 25.
While she tends to prefer the private life, Adele posed for a fun-filled photo with fellow chart-topper Katy Perry on Wednesday (May 28).
The "Rolling in the Deep" diva looked slim and trim in the shot, taken after Katy's gig in London, England.
Luxury handbags are already some of the most desired accessories, and Fendi is getting charitable with some custom offerings as part of their London flagship store launch.
Stars like Adele, Georgia May Jagger and Gwyneth Paltrow have taken their favorite Fendi Peekaboo handbags and customized them for an auction to raise money for the London-based charity Kids Company.

Combined with fresh organic apples it makes for a wonderful dessert. These ingredients are simple, pure and whole -- so nutritious and satisfying.

Seventeen-year-old Colin Dwyer comes of age at Maverick's. February 15, 2008
Seventeen-year-old Colin Dwyer knew he shouldn't have been out at Maverick's this past Friday. He was supposed to be in school, but a doctor's appointment got him out of class early and…well, you know how long doctor's appointments can take. Besides, he knew his dad would understand. Fifteen years ago, Steve Dwyer was one of the first guys to really put a dent in the Maverick's bowl. He was a standout on the standout days, but eventually his teaching job and family took priority over hucking himself over the ledge at his favorite big-wave spot.
Steve's bedtime stories must have been full of tall tales, because Colin clearly inherited his dad's charging tendencies. He started with competitive success in NSSA events and, over the past couple of years, has been putting in time at Mav's as much as possible. He admitted his dad got nervous when he had his first long holddown, but since then, he's given him the proud, "Go get 'em, son."
Friday was perhaps his best day yet. It was a mean, unforgiving paddle-in day at Maverick's. 15 to 20 feet with the occasional untouchable 25-footer. Dead winds, straight west and a 20-second interval that transformed every big set into concave skyscrapers with no entry points. Peter Mel tried one and got swallowed whole and tweaked his knee. Tyler {{{Fox}}} tried one and got blasted into the next county. And the rest of the guys out there took what they could get and cut their losses.
But Colin stood firm the entire session. Looking for ramps, hanging in the bowl, staying alert. His chance finally came late in the day, when he whipped it on a solid 18-footer and made it to the channel unscathed. "I was on my toes the whole time," he said, "but that one felt good. Worth an entire day of waiting."
It felt so good, he decided to postpone his weekend trip to Ventura for an NSSA contest. His dad was already entered in the Senior's divison, which meant he'd be driving down to the contest solo while his son stayed and surfed Maverick's on Saturday. "Kinda funny my dad's in the NSSA while I'm surfing out here," he said. "But he's cool with it. He knows what it's like to be obsessed with Maverick's."
Going down? La Jolla's Derek Dunfee suddenly takes the elevator shaft during the heaviest paddle-in day of the season. This one snapped his board and sent him in for the day.
Youth prevailed on this day, as 18-year-old Nick Lamb (inside) snagged the biggest wave of the day. Brian Conley got a piece of it, too.
Shane Desmond, about to feel the weight of the world on his shoulders.
The end result of most big set attempts on Feb. 15. Tyler Fox becomes a statistic.

Airport shuttle
Friendliness of staff, helpful, very comfortable room, good restaurant the weather
The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable and spacious. The staff was also very friendly. The restaurant was had very slow service. We waited almost an hour to be served breakfast, and dinner was even slower. The food was also flavorless and just okay overall. I expect more when I pay $50 for an entree. The only other comment I have is that I asked for additional coffee and creamer for my room. It took them 2&1/2 hours to bring it up.
Great place. Under staff. House keeping mistakes. Room not refreshed. Slow front desk , but willing. Slow service at pool, but willing. Renting from the marina, best operation. The hotel staff out performed the management. Great place! Needs a secret shopper.
We love the facility, the staff and the location of gross mountain lodge. It's close to downtown Whitefish, their daily shutle gives you a variety of times to head up to Whitefish Mountain to ski, and cross country skiing is right outside the back door on the adjoining golf course. The facility needs to upgrade it's technology to high DEF television is in each room.
Absolutely stunning resort; with regular shuttles to Big Mountain (now Whitefish Mtn.) and to downtown Whitefish; cross-country skiing in winter and golf in summer right at the resort. Smashingly good place; good to great food, fine staff. Can't wait to return both summer and next winter! Nothing, other than the temperature dropped to -13 one morning!
Friendly staff and excellent food, quiet and very clean-very good value Hot tub needs improvement- stronger jets
The location was excellent. Near the River with balconies to relax. And unwind after a long day of driving! Great breakfast too! No negative comments
The entire experience was fantastic! I enjoyed sleeping to the sound of the Whitefish River gurgling outside my window. The wireless network was too weak to use. I had my own hotspot, which worked fine.
Very clean and friendly atmosphere. Everyone was very welcoming and kind. The breakfast in the morning was great! The bed was a little stiff and slightly uncomfortable.
There was nothing we didn't like! My husband and I used the Inn as our homebase while visiting our family. Joey and his wife were wonderful hosts. Our room was very comfortable and well maintained. Breakfast was a nice surprise ... Not only bagels, English muffins, oatmeal, cereal, juice and coffee, we were treated to homemade breakfast cake and make your own waffles. The views from our room and from the welcoming lounge are lovely! We definitely recommend the Duck Inn Lodge, which is centrally located to downtown Whitefish, as the place to stay when you need a Home away from Home!
The room was big and clean. They gave us a room close to the exit to make it easier to bring out dog in and out of the hotel. The AC was turned on for us before we got their for our arrival. Nothing, it was a great place to stay.
The hotel, including our room, was clean and beautiful. The staff could not have been friendlier!
Everything. The bed and comforters were so rich that I turned the heat down to 65 F and left my nose out to chill, lol. I read in front of the gas fireplace for hours each day. Don't know
The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was ok. We were only there for one night, but it would be a lot of fun to stay for a few days. The summer activities at the resort are a lot of fun. We spent the whole day doing them.
Luxurious room, comfortable bed. Quiet. Basic continental breakfast. It was 7 miles from town. Not convenient for people just passing thorugh the area. Pricey, but great if you planned on skiing.
beautiful grounds, amazing lodge, clean and comfortable rooms! Couldn't have been more pleased! The continental breakfast was very sparce, but everything else made up for it! Thank you for an amazing stay!
The housekeeping staff, by far, made our visit the most appreciative. Beds were comfortable. The tee shirts they sell proudly displayed on the wall behind the front desk "I got humped, at Stumptown Inn"...not a family friendly tee shirt to see upon check in. Front desk staff could provide information about the hotel: wi-fi, complimentary breakfast (although just bread & pastries) and things to do while in Whitefish (where to eat, etc). The noise level from the guest above or beside you, was 'personal', meaning you could hear more than you wanted to hear. The cost of the room whould have been $50 LESS than what we paid, to equalize the hotel shabby & run down appearance & needed interior updates. Over priced.
one of the front counter people was energetic. the roof didn't leak the window on the third floor opened they let my dog stay other counter people seems annoyed didn't feel clean was bitten by something in the bed when we got there, no one was at the front counter for over 10 minutes. another guest was bringing his in-room coffee pot down because it had mold toilet ran all night, tub faucet dripped, sink leaked
Good value, clean facility. Relatively good location for the main strip and easy entry / exit Very dated decor. Straight out of the late 70's made it feel old/worn.

BlackPearl wants partner for newly approved Canada oil sands project
By Nia Williams
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Canadian producer BlackPearl Resources Inc is looking for a partner to develop its 80,000-barrel-per-day Blackrod oil sands project in northern Alberta, the company's chief executive told Reuters on Friday.
The Calgary-based company received approval from the Alberta government to build the Blackrod thermal project late on Thursday.
It is the largest energy project to be approved by Alberta's left-leaning New Democratic Party government since it was elected in May 2015. The Ministry of Energy also gave the green light to Surmont Energy Ltd's 12,000 bpd Wildwood thermal project and Husky Energy Inc's 3,000 bpd Saleski project on Thursday.
Collectively they represent around C$4 billion of potential investment in Alberta's battered economy but all three require final investment decisions before being built, and no new oil sands projects have been sanctioned by companies since the start of the two-year price rout.
Developing Blackrod to its full 80,000 bpd capacity would transform BlackPearl from an oil sands minnow producing less than 10,000 bpd into a mid-sized player in the Canadian energy industry.
But given persistent low prices, BlackPearl Chief Executive John Festival said the company would not be advancing Blackrod on its own, and would instead concentrate on the second phase of its Onion Lake project in Saskatchewan.
"We do not have plans to go out and build at Blackrod but we would entertain a partnership with someone else if they want to come in and carry us for the first phase," Festival said.
Festival said U.S. crude would need to average $55-$60 a barrel for the company to break even on the full-cycle cost of building the project and get a 10 percent return on investment. Continued...

Can You Trust Anybody Anymore?
There are business scandals that are so vast and so penetrating that they profoundly shock our most deeply held beliefs about the honesty and integrity of our corporate culture. Enron Corp. (ENE ) is one of them. This financial disaster goes far beyond the failure of one big company. This is corruption on a massive scale. Tremendous harm has befallen innocent employees who have seen their retirement savings disappear as a few at the top cashed out. Terrible things have happened to the way business is conducted under the cloak of deregulation. Serious damage has been done to ethical codes of conduct held by once-trusted business professionals.
It is difficult not to contrast the professionalism of modestly paid firefighters and police doing their duty on September 11 with the secretive and squirrely behavior of six- and seven-figure accountants, lawyers, CEOs, bankers, and financial analysts who failed at their duty with Enron. The remarkable letter by Enron whistle-blower Sherron Watkins to Chairman Kenneth L. Lay in August that presciently warns of accounting scandals reads like a road map of corporate corruption, subterfuge, and manipulation. She worries about the world perceiving Enron's "past successes as nothing more than an elaborate accounting hoax".
The Enron debacle calls into question a host of other aggressive accounting techniques used across a wide spectrum of Corporate America--most of them quite legal. And that's precisely the point. It's getting harder and harder to know what a company actually earns and what its stock is actually worth. An astonishing 723 companies have been forced to restate and lower their earnings since 1997. With enormous pressures to produce earnings growth, auditors are being turned into enablers. They forsake their traditional role of outside skeptic for that of inside business partner and they reject their age-old function of discloser of information for that of master magician who hides the financial rabbit.
Investor confidence is crucial to the success of our economic system. This confidence is threatened by not only the Enron scandal but by the dramatic decline in accounting standards. People increasingly feel the game is rigged. Unless Washington and business professionals seize the moment to clean up the mess in the market economy, they risk a major populist backlash.
In the end, Enron was able to enlist precisely those referees who, in the past, would oversee and check its behavior--accountants, lawyers, bankers, legislators, even regulators--in the pursuit of higher earnings. Many were tempted by a piece of the equity action and compromised their integrity. Enron paid big fees to many of these professionals to help manufacture its earnings, and together they created the mechanisms for evading the financial truth.
Watkins says as much. She talks of partnership deals that temporarily inflate the stock price, allowing execs to cash out options: "It's a bit like robbing the bank in one year and trying to pay it back two years later." She adds, "nice try but investors were hurt" when they bought stock that later fell. In a free-market economy, companies are supposed to fail because of the business cycle or bad business decisions. Failure from loose and sleazy practices, if not outright fraud, is another matter.
We now know that something went seriously wrong in the march to deregulation. There is no question that deregulated markets are generating lower costs, higher growth, and lower unemployment for the U.S. economy. But dereg ideologues, such as Enron's President Jeffrey K. Skilling and the company's political allies in Washington, convinced the nation deregulation meant no regulation. A big mistake. Enron and other companies used the transition to deregulation to gain access to Congress and regulators and write their own rules. They persuaded the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to let Enron and a few other companies run largely unregulated energy-derivatives trading businesses. Wendy Gramm, who at the time was head of the CFTC, later joined Enron's board of directors--on the audit committee.
Financial complexity made it easy to mask the truth and play financial games. The financialization and securitization of the real economy into mathematical bits and bytes allowed Enron and others to massage earnings results in infinite ways. Off-balance-sheeting financial engineering became the requisite way to boost earnings and stock prices. Hundreds of companies have done it. Common standards were replaced by idiosyncratic measures. Slowly but surely, the financial truth disappeared. No one, not the accountants or lawyers or bankers or Wall Street analysts, protested as the bottom line became a fiction. On the road to deregulation, basic building blocks of capitalism--clarity, transparency, fairness, openness--were sacrificed. Everything the public needs to evaluate risk, value stocks, and participate in an equity culture was undermined. Americans embraced the equity economy in the '90s because they believed they could participate in it fairly. They didn't expect to see their 401(k)s go up in smoke.
Who can come to the rescue? The reputations of many of the professionals who were counted on to safeguard the economic system lie in tatters. Corrupted by the chase for an ever-greater piece of the action, accountants, lawyers, analysts, and managers have shirked their duty on a scale not seen since the 1920s. Conflicts of interest abound as accounting firms sell services to the companies they audit and accountants jump to the corporations whose books they examine. The accounting profession has successfully fought all attempts at reform, rebuffing efforts to end conflicts of interest, impose stricter oversight, or increase liability for their actions. In short, most certified public accountants feel little duty to the public at large.
Nor do lawyers see themselves as officers of the court, which they are. Vinson & Elkins LLP was asked by Enron Chairman Lay to check out whether Watkins' seven-page warning of financial deceit warranted action. It came back with a "No." Wall Street analysts stopped being honest when their compensation became contingent on their firms getting investment-banking business from the companies they covered. And bankers are too busy selling fee-based services to carry out due diligence on loans and debt. They have enormous conflicts of interest. The Glass-Steagall Act was passed in 1933 to stop those conflicts. Its repeal in 1999 has ushered in their return.
What's to be done? Restoring investor confidence in the system of equity capitalism is crucial to the economy's health. The continued deregulation of the economy and the privatization of services depends on the integrity of the financial reporting system. If the investing public is going to participate, it must see a fair and transparent system.
The pendulum is swinging toward reform. The accounting changes required are all too obvious. But change must go beyond the scope of the financial implosion. The buying and selling of political access is not in the best interests of the country. It is unseemly to have the head of the Justice Dept., as well as the entire Houston branch, recuse themselves because of conflicts on the Enron case. A sense of outrage is growing. The lesson from the Enron debacle should be to restore basic integrity to the bottom line, ethics to business professionals, and clout to overseers that even a deregulated economy need.

Cambridge Christian's' man-to-man defense stifled Academy at the Lakes' offense to claim the Class 2A, District 8 championship 43-34 on Saturday night.
The Lancers (21-4) took an early lead in a game that was tight most of the night. Cambridge held the host Wildcats (15-9) to 22 points below AATL's season average.
"We had trouble cracking their defense," Wildcats coach Tom Haslam said.
AATL missed a handful of layups and scored only three points in the first quarter but hung around until the final two minutes. Cambridge hurt its cause by missing 17-of-20 free throws.
Robbie Robertson led Cambridge Christian with 11 points, and Curtis Walls scored eight.
Ethan Haslam and Abaz Igwe each scored 10 points for the Wildcats.
Both teams advance to Thursday's region quarterfinals.

Glasses Overlay Ghost Hands To Teach New Skills [Video]
Learn new skills through the teacher's eyes.
Back in the 19th century, Charles Caleb Colton coined the phrase 'Imitation is the highest form of flattery,' but he never touched on what is actually gained by the imitator. Presumably, the person being copied achieved something worth knowing. But with Ghost Glasses, you get to avoid misinterpretations and ensure that whatever it is you are trying to learn is being taught by a pro.
Created by Winyu Chinthammit and a group of researchers at the University of Tasmania in Australia, Ghost Glasses are a pair of glasses worn by both a teacher and a student, allowing the student to learn a new skill. The glasses contain tiny cameras that track the teacher's hand movements as they complete a task, then the feed is sent to the student.The student sees the teacher's movements in a projected image, and can place his hands right on top of his teacher's, making sure his technique is perfected.
So far, the research team has managed to teach six people to use chopsticks. The average time and general progress was comparable to that of a person learning to use chopsticks on their own, but the team believes the future will allow for increased opportunities, particularly for those in remote areas- who don't have the proper resources to consult an expert.
Ghost Glasses operates on an augmented reality system called Ghostman. Mark Bolas, an expert in virtual reality, video games and 3D technology, says it is an 'exciting first step in quantifying the promise of augmented reality.' To find out more, check out the video below.

Economically speaking, President Obama started deep in a hole, but has managed to climb his way out. It took roughly six years for the economy to finally pick up steam, a good deal longer than many previous recoveries. For an awful lot of people, the past several years have been tough, and even more so for the millions of Americans who were already struggling to make ends meet before the crisis. Millions of jobs disappeared, and although the numbers show they have returned, many are part-time, or low-paying, rather than positions that can sustain a family, or lead to financial prosperity and personal growth.
Particularly for our struggling neighbors, the recovery over the past half-decade has seemingly taken an eternity. The thing is, those people wondering what the hold up has been are right in one aspect: this recovery has taken substantially longer than in previous recessions. There are several factors at play, and it seems true to many that while things look good on paper, the sentiment in much of the country is that it doesn't feel like things are any better.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development detailed some of the factors behind the slow ascent back to economic normalcy in a report, profiling some of the macroeconomic and financial challenges still facing many Americans. They do lay out some facts — like job numbers going up and consumer confidence rising — but there are other aspects at play that are clearly holding things back. "This is not a 'business-as usual' recovery. The economic rebound has been weaker than after past recessions, not only because of the lingering effects of the financial turmoil but also due to unusually large cut-backs in public spending, including government employment, and the long-expected retirement of baby boomers," the report says.
A combination of low wages, regressive tax structures, and failing social safety nets haven't given people the traction to climb the economic ladder. Cost increases in education and cost of living have also played a role. Loss of jobs to overseas markets, and jobs that were cut and haven't returned, or came back at much lower pay and hours. These are just a few of the issues that have slowed us down significantly.

Samantha Smith, a Manchester schoolgirl, gained international fame in 1983 by asking Soviet leader Yuri Andropov whether he intended to start a nuclear war and then visiting the Soviet Union to be reassured that no one there wanted war.
Several Mainers have run for president or vice president, a number of presidents, past presidents, and future presidents have had ties to the state or visited here, and, during campaign season, many presidential candidates and their family members have brought their campaigns to Maine.
This Rebellion: Maine and the Civil War
For Mainers like many other people in both the North and the South, the Civil War, which lasted from 1861-1865, had a profound effect on their lives. Letters, artifacts, relics, and other items saved by participants at home and on the battlefield help illuminate the nature of the Civil War experience for Mainers.

COA Youth & Family Centers was established in 1906 to serve low-income children and families in Milwaukee. We focus on three core areas: Early Child Development, Youth Development, and Community Development. Family is at the center of all we do.
Years of service
Served annually
COA Youth & Family Centers has received a 4-Star rating for the eleventh consecutive year from Charity Navigator, a national evaluator of nonprofit organizations. Only 1% of the charities rated by Charity Navigator have received this top distinction for eleven or more years consecutively. COA also scored among the top highest rated children and family services organizations in the nation.
When I was 20 and a new mom, I found the Family Center. At 22 with 2 kids, the center saved me time and time again. Today, 42 and pregnant with 4 kids under 3years old in my care, you brightened my rainy day as usual. So grateful for this resource!
COA is a lifesaver!! We go stir crazy in the house. The kids love it here. I need to feel a social connection with other parents. I get so bored and lonely and isolated home with the kids all day. Also – social interactions for the toddlers is invaluable.
I come to the COA to expose my son to other kids, so he can interact and learn from them. I appreciate the many different people from different cultures and walks of life. I love all the difference art projects that my son can try without messing up my house.
I come to COA because it is an awesome, clean, friendly environment that is very well-suited to my kids. I also really appreciate the educational aspect of drop-in, such as crafts and songs. My kids would not be the same had we not been coming to COA. Thank you Anne and COA.
Young people learn, grow and thrive at COA because the counselors, teachers, administrators, donors and volunteers here share a commitment to giving them a positive future. The leaders at COA are a unique combination of brains and tenacity. They know when to lecture to a group and when to have a soft spoken one-on-one conversation with a child. They also know the best ways to involve parents.
When I first began volunteering, I really wasn't sure what to expect or how I'd be received by the kids. After my first day at the youth center, one of the kids told me I should start working there every day. Hearing that made me feel good about what I was doing, while also helping to put me at ease. Since then, I've really enjoyed my time volunteering and plan to continue doing it as long as they'll keep me around.

Hi! My name is Cindy.
Some folks know me by my nickname, PaintChip.
I am a mixed media artist, trainer/speaker, lifestyle coach, and author. I also wear the hats of mom, grandma, and wife too. Isn't it funny how we define ourselves by what we do and the many roles we play in life?!
My artful activities began in my youth as a natural extension of a mind that could not be still. Constantly dreaming of the next creative project – I simply had no choice but to use my hands and mind to explore and create new things. Almost as if against my own will I was bursting with creative energy daily… hourly… minute-by-minute.
I did a fair amount of multimedia art for many years as I fine-tuned my creative expressions. Today my art studio is primarily filled with tools, toys, and supplies used on paper-based projects, which happens to be my favorite medium. Although I still have a wide variety of media I enjoy experiencing, including music and other performing arts – now I mostly create mixed media fine arts.
There's never a boring moment in my art studio and rarely a clean space either!
I use creativity as therapy for relief from chronic daily migraine disorder. And through my coaching practice I help other migraineurs learn to do the same as we manage our lives around our healthcare challenges.
This blog is a rambling of my creative activities. My little spot on this big ol' world wide web where I can share tips, resources, and inspiration with other web-wanderers who pop in for a visit.
Thank you for sharing some of your time at the Rainbow Elephant!
