Introduction: Numerous native populations occupied what is now Pennsylvania before the first Europeans arrived here. Perhaps the best known were the "Delaware" Indians, a somewhat broad term used by colonists, that included the Lenni Lenape and related groups which spoke similar languages. Through a long history of land purchases, wars, emigration, and forced relocation by state and federal governments, many or most surviving descendants of the Delawares ended up in Oklahoma. Because they arrived there by different routes at different times, two separate groups formed, and remain there today, one in the eastern part of the state and one in the western part. The eastern group claims to be the larger of the two, with 10,500 members. As you'll see below, those are not the only groups claiming to be descended from the indigenous population of this region.
Webmaster's Comment: The information on this page changes faster than virtually any other page on the entire website. In the version you're reading now, over half the sites linked here had disappeared, or the links required some type of updating, since the previous page revision. Tracking down the new information is difficult from a research standpoint, not to mention politically sensitive! So please help out and let me know if you find anything missing. Thanks.
The Delaware Tribe of Western Oklahoma had an attractive website that had disappeared the last time this page was revised. Since then, the group has undergone a name change and set up a new site, with the simpler name The Delaware Nation.
Still at the same site is The Delaware Tribe of Indians, another population of Lenape/Delaware descendants, who live in eastern Oklahoma. They are recognized by the U.S. government as a sovereign Native American nation, after a ruling in 1996.
The Ramapough Mountain Indians were a group in New Jersey whose Native American lineage has been disputed by some parties. Despite the controversy, they achieved official recognition by the state of New Jersey. This is another group that has changed its name since this page was first published. Now they are the Ramapough Lenape Nation. The information on the new site is distributed via a discussion board structure, linked from the home page.
The Powhatan Renape Nation - Rankokus American Indian Reservation is recognized by the state of New Jersey. Among its goals are "to educate the non-Indian community about our traditional ways, beliefs, traditions, and culture."
The Lenape Nation is a group in eastern Pennsylvania that seeks to preserve cultural traditions and tribal identity, and hopes for state recognition.
The Thunder Mountain Lenape Nation [Revised URL] includes members of the United Lenape Nation who live primarily in Western Pennsylvania. They have various informational links, and report on their cultural activities and other news.
The Kansas Delaware [Revised URL] tribe views itself as another distinct branch, and although it is currently incorporated in the state of Oklahoma, it is seeking recognition in Kansas.
The Delawares of Idaho [Revised URL] are also separated from the "main" branches of the tribe, but are organizing and working toward recognition, while they preserve their culture with the help of their website, powwows, and other activities.

The Lenni Lenape Historical Society in Allentown, PA provides a museum, an annual schedule of educational and cultural events, and more.
Historical and other information on the Delaware [Revised URL] Indians, as well as the Susquehannock, the Erie, and much more, can be found on First Nations/First Peoples Issues, a large website that has stirred a bit of controversy within the ranks of Native American activists.
Lenape Delaware History Net is essentially a labor of love that was long maintained by Thomas Swiftwater Hahn and Chris Hahn. Tom Hahn passed away since this link was first added here, but Chris is keeping things going. The site disclaims any official link with specific tribal groups, but still provides lots of links and other information.
The Delaware State Historic Preservation Office offers an illustrated, multi-section overview [Revised URL] of Indian history in that state based on archaeological findings, going back 12,000 years and up to the time of contact with Europeans.
With all the digging it does, the Delaware Department of Transportation keeps track of Archaeological Exploration and Historic Preservation in Delaware [Revised URL]. They used to have an overview page of all their prehistoric findings, but that seems to have gone. Instead, they publish findings of prehistoric artifacts and information for each project individually, which can take some time to locate. An example is the Hares Corner interchange, for which they produced a summary of Regional Prehistory pertinent to that project.
The Indian King Tavern Museum, Haddonfield, NJ hosts a page with interesting anecdotes describing local Indian activities in early New Jersey history.
Pennsylvania on the eve of colonization [Revised URL] part of the PA State Historical Museum site, this page describes the indigenous people who lived here before Europeans arrived. Also at that site: Broken Promises, Broken Dreams: "North America's Forgotten Conflict at Bushy Run Battlefield" -- a very detailed description of a large battle among Indians and Europeans that marked a turning point in the westward expansion of the state, and the nation.
The Pennsylvania State Data Center has analyzed 1990 U.S. Census data and offers a Research Brief analyzing Native American population in Pennsylvania [Revised URL], along with a data chart and county-by-county map. For your convenience I've posted a reduced-size version of the statewide map right here. Visit the source to see the original. The Center also offers a 1998 article commemorating Native American History Month [Revised URL] in Pennsylvania.
Larry Smith's huge site devoted to Bedford County, in West-Central Pennsylvania, contains extensive information about The Indian Occupation Of Mother Bedford, with particular emphasis on the Susquehannocks and their Iroquois relatives.
Not to be outdone, Rick Nicholson's Delaware County site features his laborious presentation of the History of Delaware County, Pennsylvania written by Henry Graham Ashmead in 1884. Ashmead's text provides numerous references to Indian activities and influences in the southeastern part of the state, going back to the 17th century -- and to top it off, the entire site is searchable by keyword. Thanks, Rick!
The Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends has maintained an Indian Committee continuously for well over 200 years. Many of the records it accumulated from 1745 to 1983 are housed within the Special Collections of the Haverford and Swarthmore College Libraries. You can get some idea of the collection's breadth by exploring its Finding Aids online.
Mohican Press operates a tribute site to the film Last of the Mohicans. Their The Mohicans: Children of the Delaware touches on the relationships among these tribes.
Unfortunately, Marist College has apparently cut back its web pages on Native Americans. Other sources report on some of the same topics, including Indians of the Lower Hudson Valley and Native American Tribes of the Hudson River.
As they migrated out of Pennsylvania, some members of the various tribes known as Delawares settled for a while in Ohio, where they made enough of an impression to merit a page on Ohio History Central [Revised URL].
Cultural Information Provided by THE TURQUOISEBEAR TRADING POST NATIVE AMERICAN ART JEWELRY POTTERY POW WOW PENNSYLVANIA ELIZABETHTOWN PA
The Library of Congress offers a look the infamous boarding schools where authorities tried to quash Indian culture and language, under the guise of "helping" Indian children through mainstream education away from their families and tribes. A search of the collection yields photographs from the Indian school in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. For a deeper and well-documented exploration of the school's history and context, visit the Carlisle Indian School Research Pages. Stephanie Anderson's thoughtful article "On Sacred Ground" attempts to put the Carlisle experience into perspective from a modern viewpoint.
As a graduate student at the University of Virginia, Tuomi J. Forrest created an incisive look at the interaction of culture, politics, history, and art in Penn in the Capitol, which examines various marble panels within the U.S. Capitol building. * The panel shown here depicts William Penn making a treaty with the Indians. The Virginia site has better versions of the original photograph, other Indian-related images from the Capitol, references to the sources, and an informative and interesting commentary.
The Schuylkill Heritage Ecosystem Discoveries Project developed several pages of information about the Lenni Lenape and related topics, now hosted by Web-Savvy Productions.
United American Indians of the Delaware Valley [Revised URL] is a Philadelphia-based non-profit organization providing numerous support services and cultural activities for Indians of all backgrounds. UAIDV seems to have had its share of organizational difficulties over the years. The website URL has changed several times since this page was first published, and as of this writing, the site is still rather bare. The group has sponsored some large pow-wows in the city over the years, but an interested visitor might have to search elsewhere for information about new ones, unless the group decides to start updating the website.
Hope Farm Press publishes a particularly large and eclectic selection of books on Native American history, culture, and related topics, especially about this region.
The Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College offers archives for visiting scholars, including specialized microfilm collections. Most such collections provide summaries or "finding aids." Sometimes the "finding aid" is useful all by itself, such as this Historical Background of the Moravian Missions Among American Indians. If you want more detail, however, you'll have to go look at the microfilm in person.

The Reading (Pennsylvania) Moravian Church used to host a lot of genealogy links on its site, but now it links to this separately-maintained list of Moravian Church Genealogy Links.
Betty and Ray Terry's Mitsawokett site focuses on the history and genealogy of "Native American Isolate Communities" primarily in the Delmarva Peninsula area. Unfortunately, a bit too much Java and loose coding slows the site down. However, they host some unique materials. One, a series of papers by consultants Ned and Louise Heite under the title Delaware's Invisible Indians arose from research into the Bloomsbury archaeological site in Delaware, with extensive followup research into the geneaology of people nearby.
A site called "Access Genealogy" provides a page specific to Pennsylvania Native American Genealogy.
To get an idea of just how hard it is to get access to the information stored in some early records, take a look at "The Records Of The Moravian Indian Mission: A List of Published Transcriptions and Translations" which puts the records in historical perspective, and describes how much of the original data still has not even been microfilmed yet, much less transcribed and then translated from the original German.

Native American Indians of Pennsylvania
and the Delaware Valley
The extensive drainage basin of the Delaware River is popularly called the "Delaware Valley", each of the three states surrounding it -- Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. About the mysterious Indians who were nowhere to be seen, but whose language surrounded us in place names like Conestoga, Susquehanna, Passaic, and Hoboken, just to name a few. Even the name Manhattan comes from the language of the "Delaware" Indians.
This is about the people who really "settled" this land and blazed its trails. Here in Pennsylvania, many early contacts were honorable, and Indians were well-treated. Unfortunately, much of that honor died with William Penn. The links below will shed light on the history and culture of this region's first inhabitants, and the activities of Indians who live here now.

January 4, 2004: United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic sign the fourth Programme of Cooperation (2005-2010)
On 4 January, 2004 in the Government House in the Kyrgyz Republic, UNICEF Resident Representative Mr. Richard Young and Vice Prime Minister Ms. Toktosh Aitikeeva have signed the Programme of Cooperation and Country Programme Action Plan for 2005-2010 between the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic and UNICEF. The Programme foresees special efforts to ensure that the most disadvantaged children and women have access to resources and quality social services, and are adequately protected by relevant policies to address their rights.
UNICEF commits to sustain a wide-ranging partnership and seek US$9,000,000 to support the central and local governments, non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations having responsibilities to achieve the Programme's overall goals: realization of the rights of every child and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
UNICEF will continue to address the immediate needs of children in the areas of health, nutrition and education, and emerging patterns of exclusion, discrimination and vulnerability. Most of the efforts will be concentrated in the poorest, most deprived regions of the Republic. At the same time, the new Programme aims to assist policymakers to formulate and implement legislative and administrative frameworks that will lead to public policies, strategies and actions to support child rights and an overall increase in investments for children. The Programme provides opportunities for poor communities, local governing bodies and young people to actively participate in decision-making processes.
By end of the Programme, special policy reforms and services are expected to be in place for:
- protecting children who are deprived of parental care or whose rights are violated;
- identifying and intervening in cases of child abuse and exploitation;
- increasing responsibilities and strengthening capacities of those who must bear duties for ensuring children's rights;
- applying the Convention on the Rights of the Child and international standards in juvenile justice;
- providing quality care during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum periods, as well as neonatal and postnatal periods in selected rayons, especially for poor women;
- providing quality care and treatment, including immunization and nutrition for children, with a focus on the most disadvantaged;
- enrolling all children in the poorest regions in schools and ensuring their regular attendance through community management of education;
- giving opportunities to young children in the poorest regions to benefit from early childhood development programmes; and
- supporting adolescents to protect themselves from risky behaviours, leading to drug use and infections such as HIV/AIDS
The Programme and its expected results are formulated based on a comprehensive analysis of the situation of children and women in the Republic and commitments given by the Kyrgyz government at international and national forums. Of particular importance in this regard has been the National Conference on Child Poverty: Strategies Towards its Elimination held in Bishkek in December 2004. The Resolution agreed upon by the high level participants at the Conference provides strong backing and a clear action plan in support of UNICEF's efforts to address poverty among Kyrgyz children. "UNICEF intends to work as a close partner with government, civil society, international organizations and children themselves to really follow up on actions agreed at the Child Poverty Conference and quickly put in place conditions to ensure a brighter future for the children of Kyrgyzstan" said Richard Young.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare multiplayer playable at Gamescom
Sledgehammer Games hasn't revealed too much about the multiplayer in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, but that's all going to change in just a few weeks. That's because fans in attendance at Gamescom will be able to go hands-on with the game's full multiplayer, starting August 13th through August 17th.
Gamescom, of course, is one of the largest video events in the world, held annually in Cologne, Germany. Given that it'll be playable at the event, I'm assuming that Sledgehammer will offer an official multiplayer reveal sometime before then. Last year, Activision revealed the multiplayer for Call of Duty: Ghosts on August 14th. So we're right on time with the annual tradition.
Major League Gaming's Chris Puckett, who was first to break the news, couldn't offer too much detail about the multiplayer from a recent preview event he attended, but did say this about it:
The gameplay is much more fluid and much faster than any of the Call of Dutys I've played up to this point. On top of that, it's safe to say that this new title puts more emphasis on skill than any of the Call of Dutys I've played before this.
Of course, it's worth pointing out that those statements had to be approved by PR, so take them with a grain of salt. Meanwhile, Sledgehammer Games' co-founder and studio head Glen Schofield teased fans with this Twitter post:
Holy crap! I love playing Advanced Warfare's MP! Can't wait to reveal it......someday. Ha! U thought I was going to slip. Nope. Soon tho.

Little Old Canarsie: The Next Generation – Those Who Shaped The Community
When my family lived in the Glenwood Housing Projects, three o'clock in the afternoon was the best time of the day. My dad worked on Manhattan's West 14th Street when the Chelsea Market and the surrounding area was truly the Meatpacking District. He would leave our apartment at 4 a.m., hours before we awoke. He would be home by 3 p.m. and, while Mom prepared dinner, Dad took us kids to the playground on Ralph Avenue and Farragut Road. In the early to mid 1950s, we did not have cell phones, computers or Xbox. Daytime television was mostly soap operas or other programs for the housewife. Our source of entertainment was almost always outside.
When I went to elementary school, we were living on Flatlands 10th Street. This was in the early 1960s and it was still a time of innocence in America. Children were allowed to leave the school building during the lunch hour. The walk down Seaview Avenue took me about ten minutes, then another twenty minutes to down the sandwich and glass of milk Mom had waiting for me.
Then ten minutes back on Seaview Avenue leaving enough time to run around the Curtis Estabrook P.S.272 schoolyard and playground before returning to the classroom. In middle school, John Wilson JHS 211 basketball courts became my second home. When I became a student at Canarsie High School, Russ Donovan, Eddie Troise and myself spent many an afternoon on the handball courts — this was before there was a football and track field. When we were not on those courts, we would go and challenge the players on the courts of Bildersee JHS 68.
As a kid, I knew which playgrounds had the best swings or which schoolyard had the best basketball and handball courts. I did not pay attention to the names associated to those places. Even though I did not care who they were, these people made important contributions to the community I called home. I would like to thank Mary Craig and my friends at the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation for the following information.
When Canarsie was still an independent village, in the Town of Flatlands, Dr. Curtis Estabrook (born in 1845) served the poor and needy of the area. "Doc" Estabrook and his horse-drawn buckboard wagon making house calls and providing medicine to those who could not afford it was a fixture in Canarsie for over 45 years. When Brooklyn annexed the Town of Flatlands in advance of the merger with New York City, it was proposed to rename Canarsie in honor of Estabrook.
John Marshall Wilson (1847-1914) was a Civil War veteran, Justice of the Peace for the Town of Flatlands and president of the Canarsie Village Board of Education. Judge Wilson was credited with obtaining funds to prevent the smallpox epidemic in Manhattan and Williamsburg from spreading to Flatlands and Canarsie. Judge Wilson died, at the age of 71, in the same Canarsie house he was born and, except for his service during the war, spent his whole life here.
Dr. Isaac Bildersee (1887-1952) was a controversial figure in post World War II New York. At the time, plans were already in the works to fill the marshlands of Canarsie. New York City was experiencing an influx of Jewish immigrants who survived the Holocaust. As Emma Roland Matthews wrote in the Canarsie Courier before World Wars I and II, it was not unusual for churches to hold Christmas pageants and parties at local public schools. In December of 1947, Superintendent of Brooklyn Schools, Isaac Bildersee, issued an order that banned the singing of Christmas carols with strong religious connotations in all Brooklyn Public Schools.
The order also banned any religious symbols, decorations or references to the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah. Bildersee defended the action as an act to protect all religious groups from "offense." Federal and State courts agreed with Bildersee citing that the United States and New York Constitutions grant the right to religious freedom and public schools are required to maintain a separation between church and state.
There are many places in Canarsie that are rich in historical significance. If there is a place or name you wish to be researched or have an interesting story or tidbit about Little Old Canarsie, please contact me through the Canarsie Courier or at email@example.com. Since the days the first Dutch settlers set foot in the area, people from all over the world have come to call Canarsie home.
This history does not belong to me or to others who lived here in days bygone. The history of Little Old Canarsie is the story of all of us.

Stride Gum Introduces 'Gumulon' - A Groundbreaking iOS Game Controlled By Chewing!
Exciting Mobile Gaming Experience Offers Unique Way to Play a Video Game - Where Chewing Unlocks an Intergalactic Adventure
Jun 20, 2013, 10:00 ET from Mondelez International
EAST HANOVER, N.J., June 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Welcome to chew controlled gaming. Stride gum today announced the release of its iOS game, 'Gumulon', a groundbreaking game controlled by chewing.
Using the front-facing camera (available on select mobile devices), players use their mouths to completely control the intergalactic action – when you chew, the main character, Ace, jumps. This advanced chew-tracking software was developed specifically for 'Gumulon'.
Available as a free download in the App Store now (standard download rates apply), 'Gumulon' is set in the dark, cavernous depths of an endless outer space mine. Players play as Ace, a maverick mining professional on planet 'Gumulon'. One day, during a heroic mining mission in Gumulon's deepest mine, Ace awakens a terrifying prehistoric cave beast. Narrowly avoiding the monster's jaws, our hero begins a death-defying climb to freedom, as the fast-paced action of 'Gumulon' begins.
"'Gumulon' is an innovative slice of entertainment. We always seek to engage our fans and provide unique experiences," said Lauren Sella, Stride Senior Brand Manager. "The most exciting thing for us is that chewing Stride gum now provides a truly original way to use gum chewing to control and play a mobile video game."
In addition to compelling game play, game unlocks can be activated by scanning the barcode on packs of Stride gum while in the app. The barcodes on each of the nine Stride flavors unlocks a different bonus to give Ace an extra boost.
'Gumulon' will also feature unique social media components. As Ace falls into the jaws of the monster, the front facing camera captures a still of the player's face, creating an image featuring the player's top score and chewing face that can then be shared across their social media channels.
'Gumulon' is available free on the AppStore: http://appstore.com/gumulon or, via gumulon.com, where consumers can also discover more about the 'Gumulon' story.
'Gumulon' was created in collaboration with W+K London and Johnny Two Shoes and is compatible with iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPad 2, iPad 3rd & 4th generation, iPad Mini, iPod Touch 4th & 5th generation
For the latest on 'Gumulon,' please visit Stride's social channels at https://www.facebook.com/stride-gum & https://twitter.com/stridegum

U.S. ties Sundhage-coached

Facing its former coach for the first time, the United States tied Sweden 1-1 Monday in Lagos, Portugal, to advance to the Algarve Cup final for the 10th time in 11 years.
Alex Morgan scored the equalizer in the 56th minute for the Americans, who extended their unbeaten streak to 28 matches and face Germany in Wednesday's title game. The Americans are seeking their ninth title in 18 trips to the tournament.
Morgan played for the Sounders Women last year.
Sundhage left the U.S. team after last summer's Olympics, where the Americans won their second consecutive gold medal, to return to her native Sweden. Tom Sermanni replaced her as U.S. coach this year.
"I tried to tune Pia out, and the fact that she was speaking Swedish helped a little bit," Morgan said. "After the match, it was a frustrating feeling having tied and having so many opportunities in the last 10 minutes, so I didn't want to go over and hug her. But then I was like, no, she's done so much for us, so I went over and gave her a hug and, as always, she was so happy to see all of us."

Pistorius is 'not suicidal,'
family members say
Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius, charged with the Valentine's Day murder of his girlfriend in South Africa, is not suicidal, his family announced.
Pistorius "is in deep mourning but despite the tragic circumstances he is certainly not suicidal," said a statement issued by Pistorius' uncle, Arnold Pistorius.
The family's denial came after reports Oscar Pistorius, 26, was distraught and contemplating taking his life. The double-amputee runner, who races on carbon-fiber blades, is charged with the murder of Reeva Steenkamp, 29, at his home.
Pistorius says he mistakenly shot Steenkamp, thinking she was an intruder. Prosecutors contend Pistorius killed her intentionally after an argument.
"Oscar, broken as he currently is, believes he has a purpose in life and is working towards that," Arnold Pistorius said.

Celtic was launched on 4 April 1901 from Harland and Woff shipyard in Belfast and began her maiden voyage on July 26th. She was the first of a quartet of ships over 20,000 tons, dubbed 'The Big Four'. Continue reading Celtic
Caronia (1948)
After World War II, the Cunard White Star Line operated three ships on the Southampton—New York run. The famous RMS Queen Mary and RMS Queen Elizabeth operated an express service, with the smaller and slower RMS Mauretania sailing as the third ship on the route. Already in 1946 the company placed an order for a running mate to the Mauretania, a ship of similar speed and proportions for the transatlantic run. Ultimately this was not to be the role of the new ship. Continue reading Caronia (1948)
The youngest sister ship of Olympic and Titanic was to be White Star Line's largest and most extravagant vessel yet. RMS Gigantic was to be her designation. She would fulfill Bruce Ismay's dream of a trio of gargantuan liners that would set a new standard in ocean travel and establish White Star Line as the one and only Line to travel on. Gigantic was still on the stocks at Harland & Wolff when Titanic sank. Construction ground to a halt amid rumors of faulty construction and inadequate lifesaving measures. Both the owners and builders wanted to know how their "unsinkable" ship had sank. More importantly, they wanted to know how they could prevent it from happening again. Continue reading Britannic
Adriatic was the last (and fastest) of White Star's "Big Four", which included her sister ships Celtic, Cedric and Baltic. She average a full knot faster than her predecessors due to larger engines that generated 17,000shp compared to 14,000shp on the earlier vessels. She was promoted, so to speak, to the Southampton run after her maiden voyage from Liverpool on May 8th 1907. Continue reading Adriatic

The Motivation Manifesto by Brendan Burchard: Book Summary
In this book summary of The Motivation Manifesto by Brendan Burchard, you'll find my notes, valuable lessons, and important action steps.
The Motivation Manifesto Summary
"Humankind's main motivation is to seek and experience Personal Freedom." In other words, all humans want to be free to follow their desires and find happiness, without oppression or fear.
Our heroes have taught us that often pain and discomfort is necessary to achieve a greater purpose and transcend higher.
Either fear or freedom wins over your life. And it's all a choice. What do you choose?
"A hallmark of those who achieve greatness is the discovery that they can control the level of motivation they feel by better directing their own minds." Motivation is a choice. Don't wait for lightning to strike or a personal crisis to get you motivated.
Declaration 1: Meet life with full presence and power.
The only life you have to life, and that you should focus on living, is the present. That's where you'll find joy, love, passion, and laughter.
Declaration 2: Reclaim your agenda.
Design your day for what you're really after in life. Each moment counts. If you're able to master each day to make progress toward the destiny you want, you'll reward yourself with freedom and greatness.
Declaration 3: Defeat your demons.
Contrary to popular opinion, your problems aren't external ones but internal. Conquer your self-doubt, inconsistency, and procrastination to live with courage and become the best version of yourself.
Declaration 4: Advance with abandon.
Be swift and a little reckless in pursuing progress and your goals because your reality and circumstances are bendable. You're incredibly more powerful than how much you give yourself credit.
Declaration 5: Practice joy and gratitude.
"Perhaps the severest requirement of the good life is to have the constancy of mind to maintain our joy and gratitude even amid hardship, pain, and injustice." Life is full of blessings if we choose to see acknowledge them.
Declaration 6: Do not break integrity.
Our present integrity and values leads to our legacy. Always have integrity in life's little and big decisions to remain true to ourselves.
Declaration 7: Amplify love.
Giving and receiving love is the ultimate experience of personal freedom. Without giving or receiving love, our quality of life dramatically suffers.
Declaration 8: Inspire greatness.
Are you living a great life that will inspire others to greatness? A great life is one that has honesty, responsibility, intelligence, excellence, courage, respect for others, vigilance, service, and unity.
Declaration 9: Slow time.
"Life is meant to be a vibrant, deeply felt, growing mosaic of meaningful moments. It is to be a grand, fully engaged, and unconditionally committed love affair with our daily experience." You'll miss out on these moments if you're distracted and always onto the next thing.
Mini Summary
If your life is a combination of random decisions and reactions to impulses, you're going to feel, accomplish, and be average. But if you commit to personal freedom—through setting clear intentions and working hard —then you'll live an extraordinary life.
Motivation is a choice. You choose to act and by doing that you gain more motivation and reward down the road, which pushes to act again in a cycle that keeps repeating.
Happy people realize that life's all about the freedom and process to the destination, not the destination itself. And they find joy by bringing joy to others, plus practicing gratitude daily instead of always wanting more from life.
Three Favorite Quotes
"Without making the actual attempt, without trial and strife, there can be no true knowledge, no progress, no high achievement, and no legend."
"But we all know that the seeds of greatness grow faster in the hearts of those doing work they love than in the bitter hearts of those enslaved by work they despise."
"Are you not more than your tiny worries about inconvenience? Isn't a better life worth some struggle?"
Action Steps For You
You must make a serious commitment and promise to yourself to prioritize personal freedom.
You have all the motivation and power in the world inside of you if you choose to activate it each day.
Plus, no one can give you the life you want to lead. It's up to you to take ownership and choose it.
The path to a great life requires motivation and hard work. The good news is you can choose to be motivated and work hard at any moment. It's up to you.
You take the first step and keep going. Eventually your progress and results are going to motivate you further. And later on the rewards will motivate you.
But again, it all comes down to a choice. How bad do you want personal freedom? If you want it, read The Motivation Manifesto and put the wise advice into practice in your life.
You'll be amazed at how much you can achieve for the people around you and yourself with a little motivation and purpose inside you.
If you put this into action, this book is life-changing.

The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli: Book Summary
In this book summary of The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli, you'll find my notes, valuable lessons, and important action steps.
The Prince Summary
When you know that trouble is looming, you can easily and effectively deal with it. But if you wait until it surprises you then you'll react too slow and the result is finished, you won't be able to do anything about it.
A key principle of politics is to not let others grow too powerful or you will be the one who sets up your own downfall.
Things that come quickly and grow fast are often the first to go when a storm hits since they don't have any roots, structure, or foundation to rely on.
To stay in power, you either need to win over people or destroy them to the point where they can't retaliate. If you slightly damage them, they'll come back with revenge and threaten your power.
Never underestimate the power of public support. It's easy to be swayed, won, and lost, but you need it if you're to get or remain in a powerful position in most cases.
The nobles want to oppress people and the people's desire is to escape oppression. You'll be stronger and safer if the people elect you king compared to the noble's electing you king. Winning public support is huge to stay in power.
If you don't have enough resources or money to defend yourself, and you rely on others, you'll always have a weakness when things go wrong. Powerful states can rely on their own resources to defend a long attack.
Don't hire mercenaries because they are cowards in times of war and paying them a salary isn't enough to get them to have the loyalty to die for you. Reaching a deal to get another ruler's army to fight for you (auxiliary armies) are always useless because you lose, or win and are at their mercy.
"In fact, the thing most likely to bring about a ruler's downfall is his neglect of the art of war; the thing most likely to win him power is becoming an expert in it."
A wise leader will work hard during peacetime to strategically prepare for every possible outcome so when tough times come, they're ready to execute.
Machiavelli argues rulers it's beyond the realm of possibility to be both loved and feared. Rulers should seek to be feared than for this better ensures their power and safety.
Successful rulers are both wise like the fox and ferocious like the lion. They can channel both their mental acuity and dangerous side to get the job done.
The absolute best way for a ruler to win respect is from major military victories (achievements) and incredible personal qualities.
Choose your ministers wisely, because they can loyally support you if their needs are met but if they have selfish ambitions then they'll turn on you at their best chance to.
Mini Summary
A ruler must establish their power on solid foundations or they're bound to fail and lose power, their position, and sometimes their life. Solid foundations include good laws and a strong army, but it all starts with a strong army.
It's far greater for a ruler to be feared than loved. For if he's loved and things get dangerous, people will turn their back on him. But if he's feared, people will fear the consequences of turning their back on him and thus remain loyal. (A ruler can't have his people hate him though, that's dangerous.)
A ruler is in trouble when his subjects (army, nobles, or people) feel hatred or contempt against him. It's seemingly impossible to hold power at this point. To avoid this, don't show extreme cruelty or weakness.
Three Favorite Quotes
"The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him."
"Men in general judge more by the sense of sight than by the sense of touch, because everyone can see but few can test by feeling. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few know what you really are; and those few do not dare take a stand against the general opinion."
"The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves."
Action Steps For You
I could have gone 100 different ways in recommending an action step from The Prince. That's why you should read the short novel yourself—it's a unique read.
But let's focus on Machiavelli's thought that wise rulers who want to remain in power must surround themselves with helpful counsel.
This is crucial since you're going to need other people if you're going to succeed in life on a large scale.
So look around your life. In your job and even with your friends, are you surrounded by people that positively influence your life or ones that are all self-ambitious and look out for only themselves?
Do the people around you give you solid advice or does doing what they say come back to blow up in your face?
Do you 100% trust those you work with and your friends?
How do your coworkers and friends respond when you're personally in times of trouble? Is it a helping hand or do they laugh and say, "Good luck with that."
If you lost your job this second, who would support you and who would distance themselves?
Those are the questions you need to ask yourself if you want to avoid being burned down the road.
Machiavelli, and I would agree, that you need to surround yourself with solid counsel. Find wise coworkers. Meet real friends who enjoy your success, not fake friends who are entertained when you fail.
Because most often, you're only as prosperous as the counsel you keep around you. A ruler, a janitor, and everyone in between could heed this action step just as well.

The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich: Book Summary
In this book summary of The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich, you'll find my notes, valuable lessons, and important action steps.
The Accidental Billionaires Summary
Luck can play a significant role in how successful or rich people become. Eduardo Saverin was lucky to meet and befriend Mark Zuckerberg of all people he could have met at Harvard.
The phrase "it pays to be in the right place at the right time" couldn't be truer when it comes to the cofounders of Facebook. All it took is missing a meeting, living in a different hall, or living in a different dorm and the odds are they don't join Mark with Facebook.
Many hackers and computer nerds think differently about justice and fairness than traditional organizations do. In Zuckerberg's mind, he was doing less than shoplifting by borrowing pictures of Harvard classmates from the school's databases.
It's a 10x, 100x, or 1,000x advantage to be the first adopter of something (in this case a social network exclusive to Harvard students). Everyone else will always be playing catch up to the company or individual who makes the first big land grab and gets popular for it. Speed kills!
If you enter a business agreement with someone, no matter how early in the process, make sure the expectations are clear and legally binding. Too much to lose by being lazy or relaxed about it.
Mark Zuckerberg is a great entrepreneur because he has incredible focus where he can ignore any distraction (including sleep) to stay on task. He was a workhorse on the computer in the early days of Facebook.
A business that knows how to manufacture virality by getting their customers family and friends to join them is going places. Facebook added users like it was nobody's business, virality is a main reason why.
It's wild that after Facebook took off, Mark Zuckerberg seemed more famous than Bill Gates during Gates' speech that Mark attended.
Unless you're ok with losing control, it's a huge mistake to live in a location different from where all the other founders and employees are working on the company. (Bad move by Eduardo to be alone in New York while the rest of the team is in California.)
Your ownership of the company should come down to how much you produce in value to benefit the company.
Often people who have it good (like being students at Harvard) turn out successful, but they don't become revolutionaries in their industry. Seems like a risk-taker who has the mindset he has nothing to lose has the opportunity to think riskier and take bigger chances. Zuckerberg wasn't the average college student afraid to risk really good for something unbelievable.
Choosing to please your parents instead of following your intuition can leave you unhappy, less successful, and feeling miserable with regret.
Sean Parker was the reason Mark Zuckerberg met Peter Thiel, Facebook received $500,000 in seed money, and stayed afloat until it became a money-making machine. Your connections or lack of them can make you or break you in business.
When you feel you're wronged in business with your intellectual property being stolen, the first option is to get it back. The second and least attractive option is to sue.
As companies with friends grow to become massive, the friendship is tested to the point where it often breaks. There's something about money and power that can destroy relationships. Trust is also harder to come by with more on the line.
Even if they helped your business grow rapidly, employees who threaten the company can't stick around. It's too much of a liability for operations and company culture.
Mini Summary
Brilliant results come when you have the ingredients of genius innovation, brilliant mentorship from the people around you, and a tireless work-ethic. Facebook was built from the blood, sweat, and tears of Zuckerberg and his team.
To build a monster company like Facebook, it takes 100% commitment, ruthless decision making, and you're going to piss a few (or a lot) of people off. There's no way to play nice with everyone and build a company to that magnitude.
Though it all started from the humble grounds of a dorm room, Facebook is now one of the world's most unimaginably successful companies. It goes to show that innovation can happen anywhere at anytime, so keep your eyes open.
Three Favorite Quotes
"To guys like Mark, time was another weapon of the establishment, like alphabetical order. The great engineers, hackers – they didn't function under the same time constraints as everyone else."
"That was the thing about VC money. It was awesome—until it wasn't."
"Having been a part of two major companies—and witnessed many more successes and failures—he knew that the most important aspect of a start-up was the energy and ambition of the founding players. If you were going to do something like this—really do it, really succeed—you had to live and breathe the project. Every minute of every day."
Action Steps For You
Admittedly this book is harder to give you action steps since it's not a traditional personal development book. Though there are a few key takeaways you can implement in your life to reach your dreams.
First, it all starts with drive. Zuckerberg's hunger to not only build Facebook, but make it such a great user experience that college students would share it with their friends was second to none.
This guy is an animal who put Facebook above eating, social life, and sleeping.
Now I would question, and possible discourage Mark Zuckerberg's unhealthy sleeping habit, but the fact he stayed hungry to his mission above all else is commendable.
How committed are you to your cause? Does it come before your social life, peer pressure commitments, weekly comforts, and relax time? If you have big aspirations, you need to put your mission ahead of things that people with less ambition spend their time on.
Second, look who Zuckerberg had around him to build Facebook to what it is today. I'm talking power players like Sean Parker (started two billion dollar startups), Steve Chen (later founded YouTube), Peter Thiel (cofounded PayPal), Matt Cohler (later cofounded LinkedIn), Dustin Moskovitz (later founded Asana), and Adam D'Angelo (later founded Quora).
Mark is a stud and had brilliant people around him. Those two forces combined makes for an insanely successful company, aka Facebook.
Who are the people you hang around? Are they helping you move closer to your dreams or are they holding you back?
The truth is in your results right now. So if you're not making progress, find better friends. Your entire perspective and results will change once you're around people who support you.
If you don't like Zuckerberg or these action steps, this book is extremely interesting from the controversial plot alone. You can learn more about it below.

Book Summaries
Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert: Book Summary
In this book summary of Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, you'll find my notes, valuable lessons, and important action steps.
Big Magic Summary
Behind all creativity is the critical question do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you. People are hoping and counting that you do. Please bring them into the world!
The goal to produce creative work isn't to be fearless, because that's reckless and crazy. Anytime you do creative work your mind will also feel fear because the result is unknown. So when you learn to let your creativity and fear coexist then you green light your ability to create in a healthy manner.
Ideas will come and go for you to say no or yes to depending on your gut feeling about it. You'll do your best work when you cooperate fully with inspiration and its mysteries, whether it works with you or you choose to faithfully let it go.
"You do not need anyone's permission to live a creative life." It's your birthright to make any kind of creative art you imagine for the sake of just doing it. Keeping this in mind will help you live a creative life.
If what holds you back is the thought that your work wouldn't be original since someone else has already done it then consider this, "Most things have already been done—but they have not yet been done by you." Aim to be authentic, not original.
The real difficult work as a creative is not the bursts of inspiration, it's the moments when things aren't coming naturally and easy but you stay committed and persevere until you find that next moment where it doesn't feel like work to be creative.
If you want to ensure your creative work remains free and safe, then keep your day job until you're guarantee you can live off of your creative work. Too many people put the pressure on their creative work to pay the bills and then go bankrupt or kill their creativity.
"Done is better than good." Make this note a habit you replay in your mind to put out more work.
Trust that your creative work loves you as much as you love it. It's a reciprocal relationship since this inspiration came looking for you and needs you to get out in the world. That'll help you look at your work as love instead of suffering. (This mindset will also improve your quality of life.)
Seek curiosity over passion if you want to live a creative life. Passion comes and goes randomly. But you can choose to follow tiny curiosities and see where they lead.
"Creativity is sacred, and it is not sacred. What we make matters enormously, and it doesn't matter at all.We toil alone, and we are accompanied by spirits.We are terrified, and we are brave.Art is a crushing chore and a wonderful privilege. Only when we are at our most playful can divinity finally get serious with us."
Mini Summary
Get comfortable enough with your fears so that they only remind you what you're doing is important and so they don't get in the way of you creating art or following your passion. Let your fears and passion coexist, not go to war against each other.
Just give yourself permission to start already without overthinking and ruining it for yourself before you begin. Creating in the beginning with no expectations of being amazing is how you get good in the future. Everyone starts from somewhere small, so it's ok if you do too.
Perfectionism is the silent murderer of all creative work that whispers you and your work is not good enough. Relieve yourself of it by taking care of yourself or you'll never find your inner treasurers to share with the world and yourself.
Three Favorite Quotes
"A creative life is an amplified life. It's a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life. Living in this manner—continually and stubbornly bringing forth the jewels that are hidden within you—is a fine art, in and of itself."
"Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart."
"You can measure your worth by your dedication to your path, not by your successes or failures."
Action Steps For You
Like many of these book summaries on personal development, at the core is this idea that you need to give yourself permission to be creative.
So if you know in your heart of hearts that you're fixed on being a pianist, writer, singer, poet, painter, actor, etc., then you must sneak in time each day to act on it. Love yourself by letting yourself pursue this.
Who cares if people don't support you? Why bother if you might fail? That's part of life.
Regardless of the odds of success or how much money you'll make doing it, it's a misfortune for you and the world if you don't share spend the time to bring out your talents and see what comes of it.
Instead, make a promise to always follow your creative passion and when you stick to it, you'll get the reward from what you become in the process.
It's better to treat your fixation on this like a love affair where you sneak time in each day to pursue it.
The reason to live a creative life is not about external rewards and material conquests, but about working on your craft by being persistent with daily activity.
For example, the author of this book, Elizabeth Gilbert, made a promise to write every single day in her twenties (sometimes for as little as 30 minutes) and she fulfilled this commitment.
She worked side jobs to support herself before her writing could a decade later. But she never stopped creating. And during that time ideas came and left her, until she found the right ones that inspired her to bring them to live, like her world-famous book Eat, Pray, Love.
Also, creating work doesn't have to be stressful. Keep that in mind and stick with your day job until it's absolutely certain your creative outlet can support your lifestyle.
When you don't put pressure on your creativity, your creative love stays with you the rest of your life. But too much pressure and expectations can cripple your creativity before it has a chance to fly.
What's your action step? Give yourself permission to create big magic.

Building capacities and raising awareness on the fight against illicit trafficking of cultural objects
Lima, Peru, 23-25 October 2012
The seminar, with a particular focus on the Central America and Andean region, is part of UNESCO's global efforts to fight illicit trafficking of cultural property worldwide.
In order to reduce the endemic problem of illegal excavations, the black market in archaeological artifacts and the illegal export of religious, pre-Columbian and baroque cultural property in this region, reflections on effective implementation of the 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property and of the 1995 convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects have taken on a particular importance. Improving security conditions at archaeological sites, inventory problems, trained heritage police and border controls are at the heart of the current debate.
The project aims to create and develop national legal, ethical and operational capacities to fight against the illicit traffic in cultural property and facilitate its restitution through targeted trainings with the support of institutions such as INTERPOL, WCO (World Customs Organization) and UNIDROIT (International Institute for the Unification of Private Law). The seminar will address government officials, police force, customs officials and cultural managers.
The workshop has the following objectives:
- Promote the effective ratification and implementation of the UNESCO Convention (1970) and of the UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects (1995);
- Provide training and build capacities on the effective use of legal, ethical and operational tools to safeguard and preserve cultural heritage;
- Propose joint actions among legal actors, police and customs services involved in protecting heritage at the regional level, with an emphasis on archaeological, religious and baroque artifacts;
- Discuss strategies to raise awareness among the general public on the need to fight illicit trafficking of cultural objects.
This workshop is financed by the UNESCO Director-General Emergency Fund and the Cultural Heritage Protection Treaties Section of UNESCO. This initiative has been possible thanks to the close cooperation between the UNESCO Lima Office, UNESCO Headquarters and the Ministry of Culture of Peru.

Coming from a long thread on Part 2, which was here:
For more archival information, Part 1 was fun, too!
:-) I'm so excited to see so many giving this a try, and
enjoying it, too!
Thumbnail is of a huge pile of glass I acquired after fishing
in a recycling bin for a while.
Part 3...HOW TO - Make faux sea glass
Coming from a long thread on Part 2, which was here:
To answer the question in the prior thread about how to tell when glass color is real or painted on - just look into the neck of the bottle or vase - if the bottom is clear, instead of red or blue, it is painted. It IS harder to tell w/ things like plates which will be completely painted - so the scratch test would be the way to go.
Whoops, my apologies, Wannadanc. :-)
Wuvie - what is the apology for??? It was definitely time for a new thread. Love it, BTW
The thought of adding the last post to this new thread crossed
my mind, but I was sidetracked by frogs. LOL
"sidetracked by frogs"
At the risk of taking this new thread O/T so soon, I want to know about the frogs!
Wuvie, I hope you were wearing heavy gloves while fishing around that bin for those pieces of glass!
I have a question about doing rocks in the tumblers... Do I need to buy the $10 assortment of special abrasives, or can I use alternative things for the different size grades of particles -- maybe coarse sand followed by play sand followed by, oh I don't know, baking soda?
Hi Critter,
Oh, I'm having a grand time on the frogs right now. We have a large
man made box-shaped pond FILLED with frogs who decided they
wanted to live with us. So I tossed a great heap of water lettuce into
the box, the rain filled it with several inches of water, and the U-Hauls
began to arrive.
Here is a thread where we are having froggie fun:
As for the gloves, most definitely. I sat in the recycling bin for a long
time picking, picking, picking. It was such fun. The entire pile of it was
poured on a piece of carpet in the garage, then I sat on the ground picking
one piece at a time, organizing it piece by piece according to color
With regard to the rocks, I haven't spent a lot of time doing those, but
if they were just common rocks out of the driveway, simple sand will
do a lot. If you are tumbling semi-precious gems and other nice stones,
I would definitely follow the directions and use the grits as advised.
Many rocks in our area are high in sand content, so they tumble pretty easy.
For the fun of it, sticks - literally sticks, broken branches were put into the
tumbler for a week. The result? Very round-ended smooth beautiful pieces
of wood perfect for a terrarium or lizard / frog tank.
I'll tumble anything once. Twice if it turns out well. LOL.
Thumbnail is of the meat trays used to separate the glass.
We have a family of frogs that moved into our little dump find pond... The Cleavers... Ward, June, Wally, and The Beaver. Not sure what they are going to do when the winter comes, as there is not enough mud in the bottom to winter in. Thinking of capturing them and taking them to a bigger pond but sure will miss them next year... we'll probably get Eddie Haskell moving in!
Thanks, Wuvie! That sound like $10 I probably don't need to spend right now, then. :-)
Brender, your frogs sound like fun, too! LOL at "the Cleavers" and "Eddie Haskell!"
My TWO tumblers came today, the double 3 pound ones. I haven't the foggiest idea of what I want to tumble... most of my "finds" are still in storage.
Darius, did you get those double ones on sale? I can only find the sale price on the single tumblers.
Sitting and watching things tumble sounds like a perfect activity during your recuperation! ;-)
Okay, just looking for some opinions. DH brought some of this material home from work. Does it sound okay to use in the tumbler for glass?
Starblast� is a high-efficiency, low-dusting, low-free-silica blasting abrasive. It is a naturally occurring mineral sand mined in Florida. Starblast� excels at removing mill scale and rust from new steel and is highly effective in removing paints and coatings from most surfaces.
Any thoughts on if it may damage the roller? Hmmmmm.
Celia, does the roller come into contact with anything on the inside of the tumbler? If not, there is no reason the starblast should damage it. On my first batch I used some white silica sand and it did OK, but seemed too fine to really give me the frosted look I wanted. I am using plain old builders sand from Home Depot on this batch to see if I like it better. I would say to use it and see what you think. After all that is part of the fun of this new (at least to me) hobby! Let us know how it goes.
Do we have any collective advice or wisdom about using a diamond drill bit to make holes in some of this great stuff??? I am thinking "earrings" or "pendant" - depending upon the generalized outcome of efforts. I have a little Dremel - which I have NEVER used for ANYTHING. I think it is time!!!!!!!!
I think I remember seeing something somewhere about putting glass objects in a small amount of water to keep them from breaking while being drilled. Somehow I would be afraid to try that --- the old electricity and water do not mix thing. An idea that might be worth trying is to put a peice of the grey duct tape over it and drill through that. You can use duct tape of almost anything you know........
Well, it's started! I broke up a blue bottle. I found myself unsure about the sizes and shapes. I'll check it tomorrow night to see how they're doing. If not much happening, I'll get some coarser sand.
Crit, mine were on sale for $29.95 each. The SKU is 90979.
Darius, dear. I'm sorry to tell you, that having two tumblers is
not allowed. Box one up immediately and send it my way.
Heh heh. Just kidding. Lucky you!
Celia, that sounds fantastic! I would definitely give it a try, you
may be very impressed after just a day. If you try, please post
your results. We may put your hubby in business! Have fun with
your bottle!
Wannadance, definitely fun to drill holes in. The drawback is
deciding when to drill. If you drill before tumbling, the glass may
wear down during the process, bringing the hole close to the edge.
Generally not a problem, though, if you allow for tumbling decrease
when you place the hole. If you drill afterwards, just take your time and
go slow, or you could break the piece you spent days tumbling. :-)
Diamond bits indeed.
We have a nifty table top drill (another Harbor Freight goodie) which I
use for drilling everything. A deep dish, such as a meat tray, with a block
of wood to bring the piece up to the bit yet still keep the glass underwater
is the method I prefer. The piece must be in water to keep it cool. Go
very slowly and don't force the drill, let the drill do the work and whistle
while you wait.
So you CAN use water! Thank you for the info Wuvie.
Oh Darius - the price NOW is
Wait, wait, don't anyone buy one at that price!
Trust me, they go on sale every few months. If I have
to wait for one, you do, too! LOL
Those of us who were not able to take advantage of the sale
and coupon, we'll just wait. Then, when it goes back on, I
promise to Dmail everyone about it.
Hmm, it never came up at that price for me last week... same SKU. Maybe I'll call them tomorrow and see what's up. The single barrel tumbler (the 3 lb. one) is still on sale at $19.99. But for half again as much, I'd rather have two barrels!
And if I miss it, I'm fine with waiting a bit on this project... I figured they had sales pretty regularly. I signed up for their email notification. :-)
I am laughing at myself - as I already have TWO single ones - but somehow a double one or two seems a good idea!!!! OK - so no purchases of double barreled ones until we get a sale price once again.
so what you're trying to tell me is that this tumbling thing is addictive....
LOL, I could use another harmless addiction to go with my plant obsessions!
I use a Dremel with a diamond drill bit (you can get a box of 20 I think it is for around $8.00 at where else HF).
I have a small tub with water & thick chunk of Styrofoam keep water over the glass . Every now and then pick up the drill so water can get into the hole.
Don't push let the drill do the work .. Yes its slow going :-)
I ordered my double for $29.00 But the paper said the sale ended 9-24-07
Must have been a lot ordered as im still waiting for mine.
how long did it take for you to get yours ?
did it come US mail or UPS ?
Denimangle - thanks for the helpful info........I can tell that I am going to get intimate w/ the boys at HF once again.
Thanks, deni! I tried to find that price on the website (before 9-24) but couldn't... I should've called!
OK! What is HF????
Harbor Freight... there was a link on the previous thread...
Hi Gita,
Glad you joined the thread.
Guess what? There is a Harbor Freight Tools in
both north and south Baltimore. :-)
Cheryl, mine came UPS and took nearly 2 weeks from ordering.
I wouldn't say I am 'joining" this thread, but I have been following it all along. I "lurk" on a lot of Threads. I am forever fascinated about all that people do here. SO much talent! Especially YOU, Bettypauze, Lizrainy, etc. Just amazing!
I am no "toadstool" in the craft area myself, just don't have the time and commitment to assume yet another craft project. I only have about 99 unfinished ones all throughout the house. Mostly small crafts, but I could do anything if I set my heart to it--almost.......as long as it does not involve major tools and mechanical equipment........:o)
I love the "sea glass". I am fascinated, that's why I wanted to know what HF was.
Thanks for the locations info. here. The Waltham Woods one is only about 15 min. from my house. I will check it out. I think it may be in the shopping center there....
Keep posting all those beautiful pictures!
Thanks, Gita
Oh, Gita, how neat! Not only do we get to meet you, but
with compliments and beautiful blooms to boot!
You're too sweet!
I'm so glad you joined the thread. It seems many of us have the
same issues, there are so many things to do in life, so many things
to try, yet so little time.
Am I mistaken, or are those the largest Hibiscus syriacus blooms
I've ever seen? Wow. Rose of Sharon are my favorites, can't have enough!
Hope you will come back and join us again and again.
:-) Karen Marie
Just checked the results after 1 day. The pieces are very smooth. They're a pretty cobalt blue. I rinsed them and added more Starblast. I'll wait until Saturday to check again. Now to think of what to do with it!
That is fantastic! This stuff you are using, does it disintegrate eventually,
or does it seem to remain? Sounds neat!
WUVIE - After I rinsed, there was still the sand-like substance. It wasn't thick or goopy though. It was easy to rinse. Let me know if you would like me to send you some to try.
I have NO idea what a Hibiscus cyriacus is. Not familiar with botanical names on anything. This one is a Kopper King H.
In my picture, I am standing behind the blooms (second ones--i cut the plant back) of my Kopper King Hibiscus. This plant totally surprised me by growing to 6' tall. When all the first wave of blooms were done, i cut the tops back. It re-grew and bloomed a second time.
The bummer is--not a ONE seed pod! None! Must be a hybrid.
Of course, this has NOTHING to do with faux sea Glass....so i will not go any further..
By the way, I drove by the Waltham Woods HF store and popped in to pick up a brochure. It is filled with mostly tools and such.

What makes this a worthwhile listen is the performance of Lou Diamond Philips. His characters kind meekness comes across without any annoying overacting. He is pleasant to listen to. Story is OK thanks to the doubt as to what's real and what's in the protagonists head. Almost a four star rating.

Wiretaps focus of Somali terrorism trial
UT San Diego
Thursday, February 7, 2013
By Greg Moran
Ads By Google
SAN DIEGO — For the past two days, jurors in the San Diego federal court trial of four Somali immigrants charged with aiding the terrorist group al-Shabaab have listened to portions of dozens of secretly recorded phone calls that comprise the bulk of the case against the defendants.
There is much talk of the war engulfing Somalia, the politics and of the various alliances among the warring factions. And some of the conversations are sprinkled with references to "stones," "cartons" and "papers."
For prosecutors, those are code words for money that the defendants were collecting and wiring overseas to al-Shabaab fighters, to be used to attack forces for the transitional government, international forces, fighters from Ethiopia and civilians.
But over the first week of the trial, defense lawyers have begun to try to undermine the recordings by implying they don't really mean what prosecutors say they do, and that they are carefully selected and poorly understood snippets of conversations.
The trial is heading into its second full week of testimony before U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Miller. The defendants are Basaaly Moalin, a San Diego cabdriver who appears most frequently on the recordings; Issa Doreh, a worker at a San Diego money transfer business that sent the funds; Mohamed Mohamed Mohamud, an imam with a City Heights mosque; and Ahmed Nasir Taalil Mohamud, a cabdriver from Anaheim.
All four are charged with conspiracy to provide material support for a terrorist organization and money laundering. In all, they are accused of sending about $8,500 to their home country. All have pleaded not guilty.
Some of the conversations that jurors have heard have not been cryptic at all. On Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney William Cole played a portion of a phone call between Moalin and a man Cole said was Aden Hashi Ayrow, also known as "Shikalow," one of al-Shabaab's most prominent leaders.
"We need money, man" Ayrow said to Moalin in a Feb. 3, 2008, call. "Provide some please."
The call was captured on a wiretap by the FBI.
"You are running late with the stuff," Ayrow said later in the call. "Send some, and something will happen."
"Yes," Moalin responded. "We will do our best."
The two spoke in Somali, with an English translation scrolling on a large courtroom screen set up across from jurors as the audio of the phone call played. The panel also followed along with a transcription of the conversations bound in thick white binders.
Moalin spoke often to Ayrow before the latter was killed in a missile strike in May 2008. Prosecutors have said he was the main point of contact between San Diego and Somalia.
But Alice Fontier, one of Moalin's lawyers, tried to highlight that the tapes can't be totally trusted as she questioned the FBI linguist who listened to and translated hours of the phone conversations.
In her cross-examinations, Fontier suggested that Moalin tends to boast about things and puff himself up. Some of the comments he makes on the tapes are means to be sarcastic or ironic, she said — nuances that are not picked up in the translations.
The conversations that jurors are hearing are highly edited pieces of the calls. Lawyer Joshua Dratel, who also represents Moalin, said to Miller during a break in the testimony that some of the editing cuts off conversations in the middle of a sentence.
The prosecution's case does not rest entirely on wiretaps. Cole, the prosecutor, has been able to link discussions on the wiretaps about sending money to records from the Shidaal Express money transfer business where Doreh worked.
The records connect fake names used to send the money discussed on the wiretaps to recipients also using fake names in Somalia.
The wiretaps also indicate that later in 2008, after al-Shabaab had been formally designated a terrorist group by the U.S. government, Moalin and people he was speaking to in Somalia became more concerned that they could be under surveillance.
The trial is expected to last several weeks.

Brazilian soccer star Neymar..(Photo by: REUTERS)
'Ve'Neymar' (and it is said...)
By DAVID SKOLNI
Each World Cup seems to feature a major star with a name resembling something biblical.
Each World Cup seems to feature a major star with a name resembling something biblical.
In 2006, the competition was held in Germany. The host team's captain Michael Ballack led his team to the final.
The Germans played against Italy around the time of the reading of the Torah portion "Balak." The portion is named after the king of the Moabites who reigned during the time that the Israelites wandered the Sinai desert. Ballack's team, however, was left deserted of the trophy on that occasion, denied by the Italians.
In 2010, with the World Cup held in South Africa, Argentina was pinning its hopes on Lionel Messi, a very similar scenario to this time round. The Torah portion read during the week of that World Cup final match was "Massei," meaning "journeys." The similarity between the names Messi and the Torah portion was rather intriguing.
Nonetheless, even Messi, who already then was considered the world's top footballer, could not help his team make the journey to the final. The Argentinians were soundly beaten 4-0 in the quarterfinals by Germany, which then bowed out to eventual champion Spain in a thrilling semifinal encounter.
At the beginning of this year's 2014 World Cup, many were asking whether Neymar, the rising star of global football, would inspire the Brazilian host nation to World Cup glory.
Up until the 88th minute of Brazil's quarterfinal match against Colombia, Neymar had already scored four goals in the tournament and was certainly looking the part. But for Neymar, it was not to be.
Tonight, Brazil takes on the mighty Germans in the first of the two World Cup semifinal games. However Brazil's star player, sadly for him, will have no say in the match.
The ill-fated foul inflicted by Colombia's Juan Camilo Zuniga on the Brazilian striker late in the quarterfinal clash brought a devastating and tragic end to the 22-year-old's 2014 World Cup dream.
Soon after this World Cup-defining moment, while reciting the first word of the final line of "Aleinu," the concluding prayer of each of the three services, (Shacharit, Mincha and Ma'ariv), my ears suddenly popped up. I heard myself saying "Neymar."
The actual line reads: "Ve'neyemar vehaya Adonai Hamelech al kol ha'aretz, beyom hahoo, yehiyeh Adonai Echad ushemo Echad".
"And it is said Hashem will be king over all the world – On that day Hashem will be One and His name will be One".
The moment I recognized the similarity between Neymar and "veNeyemar," I could not help draw a parallel between the words: "King over all the world" and the superhero's lost dream of being crowned king of the World Cup.
After uttering the final "Aleinu" words of that Shacharit service, I recalled the particularistic and universalistic themes within the prayer regarding the praising of Hashem.
The first paragraph calls for a specifically Jewish obligation to praise G-d: "It is our duty to praise the Master of all…" The second paragraph calls for universal recognition of G-d by all people: "And all people will call upon your name…" In many of the South American countries in particular, soccer is seen as a religion to many.
A fascinating feature of this World Cup has been the video cameras homing in on players and fans alike, desperately pleading to G-d, especially during those games decided on penalties, expressing the passion, devotion and desperation surrounding the game and its outcome.
With the desperate pleas coming equally from both teams, many may wonder what the Almighty does when confronted with such a situation.
Are they praying to the same entity, one may also ask? After each of Neymar's four World Cup goals he himself pointed to the heavens, giving thanks to the Lord. Since his recent injury, many cynics have questioned whether Neymar has also attributed that fateful blow to his back to G-d.
On Sunday, the day of the World Cup final, the Jewish people usher in the reading of the Torah portion "Mattot" (Tribes), the opening line of which reads, "Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel."
On that Sunday it will be decided which of the World Cup tribes will be deemed victorious and who will ultimately be crowned as the new king of soccer.
Will it be Argentina's Leo Messi? Could it be the brilliant Dutchman Robben? Will Thomas Muller or record-equaling goalscorer Miroslav Klose help the Germans finally prevail? Or will the Brazilians crown Neymar even in his absence? Whoever it may be, another World Cup will be over and the world will wait patiently for the crowning of the new 2018 World Cup king.
Whatever the conclusion to this year's tournament may be, the Jewish people will continue to conclude each of their three daily services with the words: "And the Lord shall be king over all the earth, in that day there shall be one Lord, with one name." (Zecharia: 14:9) May the best team win.
