I mean now of course.. I am not one to wish for that simpler time, we can't have that back. What we can do is keep Scouting the way it is supposed to be. Fun, Adventurous, and an organization that builds up men.
I stumbled on this neat video, thought I'd share it. Imagine if we could just get back to the basics and deliver the promise of Scouting the way it should be.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
A great time for Scouting…
I mean now of course.. I am not one to wish for that simpler time, we can't have that back. What we can do is keep Scouting the way it is supposed to be. Fun, Adventurous, and an organization that builds up men.
It is always a great idea to take time a do some reflection. I do not want to get to deep here, but reflection is a big part of learning and getting better.
We do reflections after Scouting activities, games, events, and circumstances that put us in a position in which decisions are made and out comes may be different.
Sunday I had the pleasure of presenting a class at the current Wood Badge Course. When I walked in I was greeted by my Wood Badge friends and of course we all shared a laugh and a story or two.
Before I left, my good friend Steve handed me a piece of paper. On it was a couple reflections that they used the previous night after the "Game of Life" was played. Now for those of you that have been to Wood Badge, you know what I am talking about, for those of you that have not yet gone… well I will not spoil it for you other than to maybe give you a nice thought to remember as you go through your daily "Game of Life".
It is from an anonymous source so I have no idea where it originated, but it works.
In life we do things. Some we wish we had never done. Some we wish we could replay a million times over in our heads, but they all make us who we are, and in the end they shape every detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them we wouldn't be the person we are. So just live, make mistakes, have wonderful memories, but never ever second guess who you are or where you have been.. And most importantly where it is you are going.
I would only add that Character will be your underlying guide. With Character you never need to second guess.
This is why we teach and hold dear our Scout Oath and Law.
Just a little reflection.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Scouting family takes pilgrimage to Baden-Powell's grave in Kenya
Fantastic Trip..

Tracing the life of Scouting founder Robert Baden-Powell takes you not only to his birthplace in London but also to Kenya, where he spent the last few years of his life.
My recent trip to London and Gilwell Park, provenance of the Wood Badge training course, inspired Idaho Scouter Steve Jung to share photos and stories from a similar Scouting pilgrimage.
And I'm sure glad he shared.
The Jung family traveled to Kenya, the East African nation where B-P died on Jan. 8, 1941, at age 83. His grave is now a national monument.
Steve, along with his wife, Becky, and daughter, Anna, visited B-P's final resting place, the cemetery museum and his home in Nyeri, Kenya.
"Our trip to Kenya was a most memorable one," Steve says. "We did some backcountry hiking and a lot of touring. We went caving and places most public people don't go or know about. Just a terrific trip."

The Road
I can not remember where or who I heard this from, but I recalled a quote the other day that I thought was a good way of illustrating our job as Scout leaders and parents.
"We are not building roads for our children, we are building children for the roads."
Essentially it is saying that we can lay out everything to make life easy for our kids or we can prepared them for the road of life, which we all know is not easy.
When I thought about this quote, it got me to thinking about some of the ways we discuss our Scouting programs. As you all know I am a fan of traditional Scouting and doing things the right way. I am not a fan of giving everyone a trophy and I know that not every Scout will be an Eagle Scout… nor should they be. If they have been properly trained in their young lives to work hard, then they will reap the rewards of hard work.
The road of life is difficult and only made easier by getting on it and traveling. Know that it is hard, but stay the course. The beauty of the road is that you get to pick your destination. You can pick the path of least resistance and when you get there you will find that it took you to a place a fewer rewards. You can get on the highway of success and its direction will lead you to the world of Success. But you need to know that there will be detours and pot holes, but if you negotiate them, you will be successful.
So as Scout leaders and parents we need to encourage our children to take that road and prepare them for the detours and pot holes. We do not need to drive them there with the knowledge of the location of the pot holes and hardships. You can build the road, nice and smooth. Pave it with gold and make it a fast lane for your child, but he will not get the most out of it and will fail to learn lessons along the way.
On the other hand, we can train him up to set a course, know how to go around a detour and take it slow on a pot hole filled road. He will learn and develop and by the time he gets where he is going he will be a man who you will be proud of.
Last night at Round table I had a little chat with a Scouter about Eagle Scouts. He made the comment that every Scout should be an Eagle Scout and that the sooner they get it, the better.
Again, I thought about the road. Did we build the road for the Scout or did we build the Scout for the road. I don't know the answer in his particular case, but how many Eagle Scouts have we seen that are not prepared for the road. I personally can tell you that I have seen many. While I am proud of their accomplishment, I wonder if we as Scouters are not quick to reward and less enthusiastic to take the time and build that young man.
The road of life is a tough one. We owe it to our children and our Scouts to build them ready for the road of life.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Emotional Gauntlet
The blog has been a little quiet the last couple days as we have been through an emotional gauntlet over the last week. On Monday night right before the Troop meeting we were visited by two Police Officers from the Gresham Police Department. They asked my wife and I to come inside and sit down. We were informed that our youngest son Josh had been in a fatal car accident. He was struck head on by a drunk driver and was killed instantly. His girlfriend, who was in the car with him was transported to OHSU (Oregon Health and Science University) and was in critical care. The drunk driver was unharmed and under arrest. The Officer informed us that the coroners officer would release Josh to us in about 48 hours.
My heart shattered.
Yesterday, my wife and I spoke at the High School at their "Every 15 Minutes" assembly. We shared the feelings and a few thoughts on the impact of Drunk and Impaired Driving. It was an emotional and devastating message. During the assembly a group of Seniors put on a skit. In that skit there is a party and one of their classmates decides to get behind the wheel and drive home, clearly intoxicated. He and his girlfriend are in a fatal accident, this time the girlfriend is killed. A field sobriety test is given and the young man is found guilty of driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter. He is placed in hand cuffs and taken off stage. This visual is stunning to the audience, his classmates. Teresa and I are then invited to the stage to say our comments and in the darkness of the auditorium our son Josh appears and we are reunited. I lost it.
Josh is a part of the student group that hosted this event and we agreed to help. We knew, in our minds, that Josh was safe. Monday night, the Police took him and the rest of the group to a local hotel where they stayed the night apart from family and friends. We were the only parents contacted by the Police and informed of the accident, but all of the students in the program were "killed" by drunk drivers or drunk themselves when they were in a traffic accident.
The program is called "Every 15 Minutes".
In the United States every 15 minutes someone is killed because of drunk or intoxicated driving. This weekend is the Prom and the message was sent loud and clear that we do not want our kids to be the next one to be killed needlessly. Drunk driving is a selfish act. The self-centered idiot that makes the choice to get behind the wheel of a car and put our lives in danger needs to understand the impact of their actions.
Monday evening, even though I knew it was not real, my world stopped spinning. Emotionally I could not process the difference between a high school program and reality. It hurt.
It has taken till this morning to fully process this.
I never want that to happen to me again, and I never want it to happen to you.
Every 15 minutes in America someone we love is killed for nothing.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Ask the Scout Executive
Over my many years as a Scouter both at the Cub Scout level and the Boy Scout level, I have often heard folks grip about one thing or another when it comes to our paid Scouters. I have sat in "town hall" or fire side chats with Scout Executives and other paid Scouters and bar none, they always become sessions that are filled with finger-pointing and questions that put the Scout Executive on the hot seat. Some times deserved, but often times, just a forum to let them have it.
I have a pretty good relationship with our Scout Executive and see eye to eye with him on many issues that effect our Council.
So here you go… if you could sit with a Scout Executive, what would you ask?
List your questions in the comment section and I will do my best to get answers for you.
Note… this is not just for my local council.. I am sure that issues are pretty much the same all over.
So what do you want to know from the top?
Maybe if this works, we will head to Irving for the next round.
And go…
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Learn to Lead Yourself
I have spoken about the five principles of leadership that we use in our Troop to develop both our Junior Leaders as well as our Adult Leaders.
To recap, those five principles are Learn to Lead Yourself, Focus on the little things, Model Expected Behavior, Communicate Effectively, and Be a Servant Leader.
In this post we are going to focus on the first of these principles, Learn to Lead Yourself.
Simply put, if you can not lead yourself you can not lead others.
To illustrate this point we talk often about the way you act. You set an example of what you would like in those that follow you. You, as a leader can not get away with the "Do as I say and not as I do" philosophy of leading. It just does not work if you are trying to be a good leader.
The way in which you carry yourself, your habits,and your skills show the follower that you are a leader that is worthy of following.
You pack your pack correctly and assist others in getting theirs right.
You take your promise to live the Scout Oath and Law in your daily lives seriously. This is important in showing those you lead that you do not compromise in your values and you are consistent in the way you act and expect them to act.
Thomas J. Watson, the former chairman of IBM, said, "Nothing so conclusively proves a man's ability to lead others as what he does from day-to-day to lead himself."
Learning to Lead Yourself takes work. The learning part comes in developing those skills, attitudes, and habits that make you a better leader.
This means that you spend time in the study of leadership. It means that you take extra time to be trained in skills and develop methods of instruction to help others.
It means that you never stop learning, this becomes a habit. Once developed you long for more learning and skills development.
This goes for youth and adults alike.
I know many Scouters that will do training because they have to and I know Scouters that do training because they want to. They see value in adding to their skill sets in the bigger picture of how they deliver the promise of Scouting.
I also have seen this in our youth. Youth that seek more adventure and know that they must develop that knowledge base before they can execute certain skills and tasks. On the other hand, leadership is just a block to be signed on the way to Eagle Scout.
This concept of learning to lead yourself is nothing new. It has been taught for years by leadership guru's and is a foundation of leadership development. It is a means of focusing on the leadership qualities that we need in order to be effective leaders. Think about what you want to see in a leader.
You want the leader to be Trustworthy. You want the leader to be reliable. You want the leader to be accountable. The leader should demonstrate integrity. Well, if those are the things that you want in a leader, you need to focus your learning, habits, and attitudes to becoming that person… that leader.
Like I said before, if you can not lead yourself, you can not lead other people.
So how do we learn to lead ourselves?
First. Find out who you are. What kind of leader are you? What habits do you currently have? What are your skill sets that contribute to your leadership?
These may be hard questions to answer. You may not like what you hear, either from yourself or others. Find a leader that you trust and appreciate. Ask them to assist you with these questions.
Second. Find out what skills you need to develop to be an effective leader. Make a list and a commitment to mastering those skills. Take extra training and opportunities to learn and practice those skills. Make changes in your habits and attitudes to get better at leadership and skills.
Third. Commit to be a life long learner. You need to always stay a couple of steps ahead of those you lead. Get out in front with learning, practicing, and sharpening your leadership skills. There is always something new and there are always way to improve. Perfection is a curious thing. It is something that can be seen, but moves farther away as you get closer. It forces us to get better. Shoot for perfection in leadership with the knowledge that I can not reach it, but the closer I get, the better I get.
Be patient but persistent. Stay focused on making yourself better and those that you lead will be better.
The first step in effective leadership is getting the leader right. That leader is you. Learn to lead yourself and you will be on your way to being an effective leader.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
A visit to the original Gilwell Park, the happy land where it all began
Fantastic post from Bryan from the Scouting Magazine Blog. For those of us that love Scouting and the Wood Badge experience, we can follow along with Bryan as he takes to Scouting's Mecca.
Great article Bryan, thanks for sharing.

Last week my dad, a former Wood Badge course director, and I, a former Wood Badge troop guide, visited Gilwell Park as part of a weeklong personal vacation to England. (Personal meaning I paid for it, not BSA.)

Wow, a lot of ppl mourning the passing of the Pintail.
I had thought the majority of the comments would be about the knifing of the Aquanaut. Guess not.
And nary a mention of the passing of the Nordkap Classic boats.
I guess because the newer versions of it are still going strong, and most ppl prefer them?

Analysis: In Seoul, the pressure is on to get back to business as usual.
In the year-end hoopla, Lee's plea for "quick and bold" military reform has receded quickly. People have heard it all before.
Lee would like people to think of the Yeonpyeong attack a wake-up call. "Military reform is necessary," he has said more than once since scapegoating his defense minister and naming a former top general in his place.
The new minister, Kim Kwan Jin, has made sensational vows of retribution against the North Koreans if they strike again. His tough talk reached a crescendo during a brief South Korean artillery exercise last week off Yeonpyeong.
As the media swarmed on the island and South Korean F15s zoomed overhead, the North said the exercise was not worth retaliation. It said in a statement that the South Korean gunners had adjusted their targets and were not firing into North Korean waters.
The Northern Limit Line remains the reason for the bloody battles in the Yellow Sea in recent years. North Korean vessels are banned from waters below the line. Their challenge to the line is likely to go on — just not when South Koreans are primed for war.
Rather, North Korea focused on persuading New Mexico's Gov. Bill Richardson, a repeat visitor to Pyongyang, of the need to return to six-party talks on its nuclear weapons. Richardson, with a CNN team and a New York Times correspondent in tow, helpfully passed along the message that North Korea would welcome U.N. inspectors to check out its new uranium plant.
The betting is the North will be ready to conduct its third underground nuclear test in the coming year, this one an explosive of enriched uranium rather than plutonium. The nuclear worries have overshadowed this week's South Korean naval exercises.
Defense Minister Kim now has to focus on negotiations. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates touches down in Seoul on Jan. 14, on a swing that will take him to Tokyo and Beijing. Then Kim will be heading to Beijing in February to see China's defense minister, Liang Guanglie.
If they agree on nothing else, it's going to be on the need for "stability." China wants a stable Korean peninsula while supporting its North Korean ally with food and fuel, and conducting annual two-way trade of $140 billion with the South.
In the midst of all the talking, Korean War II will have to wait. Nobody here is much worried. It's as though people have more important things to think about – jobs, shopping, travel, the economy, a bright New Year.
Until the next "incident," the war story is over.

|Item as described - tasty
|My little dog loves markies as does her friends and her sister,so we can share the box with them.

In the new Randy Blue web-series Welcome To LA, Justin Owen plays an eager young man from Kansas who's looking to make it big in Hollywood. After a brief and heartbreaking fling with Diego Sans, he wakes up the next day to head to his first audition with Austin Wolf. One thing leads to another, and before he knows it, he's naked with a casting director's dick slamming his tight little ass.
(Spoiler alert! He gets the part.)
While we could just take this for what it is—one of the hottest porn scenes we've seen on Randy Blue in quite some time—we thought we'd take this opportunity to open up a discussion about professional ambition, sexual adventurousness and what you're willing to do to get ahead… So what do you say? Would you ever perform sexual favors to get a job? Would the answer change based on whether you're attracted to the person interviewing you?

Skycore Adds Dynamic Passbook Pass Insertion Into SMS/MMS, Email & Mobile Web for Personalized Cards, Coupons and IDs
BOSTON, MA, Feb 21, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Skycore LLC, a leading mobile marketing platform provider, has today launched new tools for dynamically inserting Passbook Passes into mobile marketing and messaging campaigns.
These tools enable brands, universities and enterprises to extend their reach into the mobile wallet. Administrators use Skycore's Pass creation tool to generate a Pass template and then personalize each Pass with data uploaded as a CSV file or integrated with back-end systems through a secure API.
To deliver Passes, administrators use Skycore's MMS, EMAIL and mobile Web tools to create templates for delivering Passes. When an MMS or Email is sent or a mobile Web page visited, Skycore dynamically generates a personalized Pass on the fly for each recipient.
Additional features include disabling Pass downloads after installation, updating Passes after installation and Pass management with reporting.
"Other toolset providers can create Passes but few have successfully integrated Pass campaigns with personalized info into the full mobile marketing stack," said Rich Eicher, Skycore's CEO. "And even fewer support delivery across iOS, Android and BlackBerry devices along with Pass-like barcodes to feature phones. That's how we differentiate." Skycore partnered with PassWallet for installing Passes on Android and BlackBerry devices and has been delivering barcode IDs to feature phones since 2008. The delivery mechanisms are all fully integrated into MMS, Email and the mobile Web for a seamless, merchant-branded experience.
Skycore's platform can be white-labeled for marketing and technology companies who want to add Passbook solutions as branded services.
"Companies need providers like Skycore to deliver Passes at scale and use the mobile channels they currently deploy for communicating with customers," said Eicher. "They need to measure customer acquisition at the campaign level, not just count the number of installs." About Skycore Skycore LLC (
) is a mobile value-added service provider (VASP) specializing in mobile multimedia delivery technologies and applications for enterprises, brands and their agencies.

A birthday celebration calls for something special, exceptional, and wholly memorable. I took t0e out for his birthday to Miller's Guild without really knowing what we were getting into – only that they had a gigantic flaming grilled call the Infierno and that they specialized in meats. And what followed next, was jaw dropping, camera clicking, OMG inducing for a variety of reasons (how's that for a sensationalist hook line?).
The chef, Jason Wilson, is probably better known for his fine dining establishment Crush, which is a solid place in my mind, but not on my recommendation list. Miller's Guild is a restaurant built around a 9 foot flaming grill, and while it specializes in meat, the chef is top notch in all the other items beyond just meat.
Overall, Miller's Guild is on hell of an experience. The dishes are full of perfectly paired flavors that leave you wanting so much more! It's a foodie place, no doubt, and not just a steakhouse. In fact, I would venture to say, that the other dishes outshone the steak (except for it's gargantuan size and house pan dripping sauce that will taste different every night). What an experience!
I'm waiting for someone to order the 60oz steak to see what that looks like. There was a gentleman, spry, business casual, sitting at the kitchen counter directly in front of the grill, and he so thoroughly enjoying himself in a way others would envy – pure rapture eating his steak in a row of couples and conversing excitedly. He picked up his steak after he had eaten the meat, and proceeded to clean the bone of the delectable remains. Without thought of judgment from others, just pure joy. And not pictured, the greyere mashed potatoes – silky, rich, creamy, even when you're so full of steak you claim you can't eat another bite, and yet, one more spoonful of mashed potatoes must still reach my lips. I have found my addiction and it is burning in the Infierno.
Overall: happily ever after
Highlights: foie gras, greyere potatoes, thyme tapioca brulee
Footnotes: it is dark in here lit by the fire – none of the pictures on the website are representative of how dark it is, lending itself to a more trendy and industrial feel (similar to Mamnoon), it is pricey as most hotel restaurants are – expect to spend at least $60/per person, service is attentive, large communal tables are ideal for sharing large cuts of meat, sit up by the kitchen counter if you want to feel the full heat of the Infierno.

Strijbos Races to Second MXGP 2014 Podium / May.6.2014
Team Suzuki Press Office – May 4.
Hot Dutch sunshine shone down on the sand of Valkenswaard as Rockstar Energy Suzuki World MXGP's Kevin Strijbos nudged team-mate Clement Desalle from the third-step of the podium in front of a decent 27,000 crowd for what was the sixth round of the FIM Motocross World Championship.
The Grand Prix of Netherlands is almost a home event for the Lommel-based factory team. The Eurocircuit sand was dry, bumpy and tricky with some hard and slick sections but also vast berms and ruts by the time of the second motos on Sunday. The terrain required some refinement to the set-up after the first day of action and the team worked steadily to find the optimum configuration for both riders.
Strijbos was a lonely sixth in the first moto but altered his RM-Z450 again before the second race and was a more proactive threat. The Belgian chased Jeremy Van Horebeek hard for second position and pushed his countryman down the order in the final two laps. Strijbos' best result in 2014 allowed him to swap places with Desalle and secure his second trophy of the campaign.
Desalle also rode effectively across the sand and at a circuit that has not usually been one of his strongest in past seasons. He pursued Evgeny Bobryshev in the first sprint and overtook the Russian with two laps remaining to score fourth place. In the second moto he was a lonely fourth again and ended the day with the same slot.
Desalle is third in the MXGP table, six points behind Jeremy Van Horebeek. Strijbos is fifth and 23 behind Gautier Paulin, who crashed and broke his collarbone in the second moto.
The team will head back to the workshop across the border and quickly re-stock before starting the long drive down to Talavera de la Reina, southwest of Madrid this week, for the first Grand Prix of Spain since 2011.
Kevin Strijbos:
"I'm happy. After the first race I wasn't feeling good. The bike wasn't working well for me and we had some problems. We had tested a lot a few weeks ago and we thought we had a good set-up but things didn't work out. So we changed back to the old system before the second race and that really helped me. I'm pleased to be back on the podium, my arm-pump problem has gone; and we were working on that. There are still a couple of things to sort-out but generally it is all coming together."
Clement Desalle:
"Fourth place is OK because I had such a bad feeling on Saturday. Every time I got on the bike on Sunday I was better, so that was good. Actually I'm satisfied with the result today; the podium would have been better but at least it was Kevin who took it! In the first moto Bobryshev came across me but I got through the first two turns quite well. I was fifth but passed him at the end which was good. I gave all I had until the end. In the second moto Kevin was riding well and it was difficult to follow him. It was a lonely race."

WADSWORTH, Ill. (AP) - Authorities say one person has died and more than three dozen people are injured, including elementary school children, in a school bus rollover in northern Illinois.
Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran Jr. says everyone aboard the bus survived Friday's crash in Wadsworth, 45 miles north of Chicago.
The coroner's office says a male died at the scene but has not provided other details.
Authorities have not elaborated on the extent of the injuries, but officials at two hospitals say they've received patients in good to serious condition.
Television footage from the scene shows the bus on its side, with two mangled cars nearby. Debris was scattered in an adjacent farm field.
The accident happened around 8 a.m. about a mile from Newport Elementary School, which has about 400 students.

United Way Toronto to invest $77M in vital programs
A $77-million investment by United Way Toronto over two years will help community agencies provide vital social services and programs to people across the city, says president and CEO Susan McIsaac.

Share via Email
A $77-million investment by United Way Toronto over two years will help community agencies provide vital social services and programs to people across the city, says president and CEO Susan McIsaac.
"We're closing the gaps between many people and the opportunities they need to find work, make ends meet and build a better life," McIsaac said.
She said there are pockets of the city where people are really struggling and she hopes the money will help strengthen neighbourhoods in areas such as Scarborough, Etobicoke and North York.
The money will go to funding a network of social service agencies that support people who need it most, such as seniors, immigrants and youth. It will also create a long-term strategy to address the root causes of social problems, she said.
Over the last three months, McIsaac said she has talked with many smart, capable young people, who are incredibly willing to work, but are also struggling to find meaningful employment.
"They are not looking for some unreachable job," she said.
In many cases, she said what the community needed was the leadership and resources to identify their own issues and develop their own solutions.
McIsaac said the announcement Friday shows there's a real appetite and a passion to work together to find solutions to the city's complicated problems.
While United Way Toronto is excited about the huge amount of support and donations, she said she understands there is a long road ahead.
"We cannot do it alone. It takes each and every one of us to create real change and build a stronger, healthier city for us all," McIsaac said.

I am not a fan of reading these blogs. Sometimes they've got good stuff but mostly it's "Look at my cool life"! Just another reason for Mormon woman to compare themselves to each other!

The article by Emily Matchar made me want to vomit into my keyboard. Her article was not only condescending (her talk about being an overeducated atheist made me want to fire back with, "Um, sweetie, you are supposed to wait until other people say that about you, not proclaim it smugly yourself,"), plus it revealed something I see as wrong about our culture. Her description of our lives as almost shrilly cheerful; with emo husbands in black glasses, skinny jeans, and tight plaid shirts; and crafts and elegant meals shown next to beautiful, well-behaved children gives a false sense of reality that makes actual Mormon mothers wonder if they will ever measure up to an ideal that DOESN'T EXIST.

These women will come to regret the day they chose to ignore the counsel that "no other success can compensate for failure in the home. " Their neglect of their children will have tragic consequences.
Our society is already in the midst of an epidemic of substance abuse, crime, and immorality. These mommy bloggers are apparently content to contribute further delinquents to the total.

Um, John, did you ever think that blogging is a way to work from home while keeping an eye on your kids? It's not hard to type a few sentences at a time in between playing with and chasing the kids around the house. Before you know it, you have a decent article, your kids are taken care of, and the house is clean. The ads and page views bring in extra income for a lot of the more popular bloggers. It's not a bad second job.

I really miss the news articles that at one time appeared on most news web sites. They have been replaced by the blogs. Cheaper to produce but they usually have no news content.

I take issue with the claim that these blogs present an ideal that doesn't exist or is unattainable. In fact, it's a pretty accurate, although extremely positive view of what my life is actually like. I make no apology for having an extremely happy family with an enormously talented and beautiful wife and children. Of course not everything is perfect, but what's wrong with emphasizing the positive in our lives? Are we supposed to pretend we are miserable? I think the way of thinking that says we should always focus on the negative in an effort to "keep it real" promotes a false sense of reality. And I think people who become offended by happy talented people should spend less time criticizing and more time developing their own talents in a positive and constructive manner. And once again, I think John Charity Spring should relax.

I'm wondering what is suffering in Mr. Spring's life to make the outlandish
claims he does.
I'm also wondering what is being neglected in his own home when he sits on a Utah newspaper thread?
So Johnny, are you doing all you can in your home while you justify the tearing down of others on the Dnews threads?
Somewhere there is a verse of scripture that talks about an eye and a mote...Johnny, could you look that one up for us and return and report?
Blogs are a great way to share with your family and friends what's going on in your life. Pictures and videos can be uploaded for all to see. It is a great journaling technique and a way to share the gospel.
I believe in Conference one of the 12 Apostles encouraged blogging and using the internet as a way to communicate the gospel.
Johnny, could you look that one up to and return and report?
have a great day folks!

I think I might have a bash at it when we get Win 7 in the suites - would look good if you were showing anyone around!
Must admit it looks good on my XP machines that the logon wallpaper is personalised for the college, not got Vista in any so cannot comment on that, but it does look very good having a school wallpaper
Thought I'd take a screenshot of what it looks like on mine..

Design and Programming Charrette at Mendelssohn Hall Feb. 20
Online Staff Report
A Design and Programming Charrette, hosted by Gary W. Anderson Architects, Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center Board of Trustees and Dr. Alan Brown, capital campaign manager, will take place from 8 a.m. to noon, Wednesday, Feb. 20, at Mendelssohn Hall, 406 N. Main St. (the former First Presbyterian Church).
Brown was most recently the executive director at Burpee Museum of Natural History in Rockford.
With the acquisition of the former First Presbyterian Church, Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center is now a three-building "campus" that includes a spacious parking lot. With a prominent downtown Rockford location on the "Cultural Corridor," between the Riverfront Museum Park and the Coronado Theatre, Mendelssohn is poised to become a vibrant Community Center and School for the Arts.
A "Charrette" may refer to any collaborative session in which a group of individuals draft ideas and solutions for a project.
Mendelssohn's Executive Director Beverly Broyles hopes community members will come and contribute their ideas as to how this new venue can be used to offer new opportunities in the arts for individuals of all ages.
"We want to explore visual, performance and music arts as possibilities for the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center Campus," Broyles explained.
The Charrette will be facilitated by Gary Anderson, David Sidney and Jennifer M. Spencer. The schedule for the Charrette is as follows: 8-8:45 a.m., Site/Building Tour (optional); 8:459:15 a.m., Welcome, introductions, expectations and goals; 9:15-10 a.m., Session 1: Project Goals Identified during high performance discussion — split into two groups; 10-10:15, Break; 10:15-11:15 a.m., Session 2: Integrated Design (space use/experience/costs) ; 11:15 a.m.-noon, Large Group Presentations + Next Steps.
Since 1884, the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center, a nonprofit organization, has been a source of exciting, personal, interactive music experiences for the residents of northern Illinois. Mendelssohn PAC serves the community with a range of concerts, youth music programs and performing ensembles for all ages.
The Mendelssohn PAC campus includes the Emerson House, Mendelssohn Hall and the Starr Center, 415 N. Church St.
Charlotte's Web for the Performing Arts became a division of the Mendelssohn PAC in 2012. The Rock Valley Children's Choir and Kantorei: The Singing Boys of Rockford are Mendelssohn PAC's partners in residence. Visit www.mendelssohnpac.org. To RSVP for the Design and Programming Charrette, call (815) 964-9713 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
