Water Found on Largest Asteroid

Astronomers working with the Herschel space observatory have discovered water vapor coming from the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt, the one called Ceres (pronounced like "series"). By strict definition, Ceres is so big and round that it is no longer considered an asteroid, but is now designated dwarf planet number one (having been discovered on Jan. 1, 1801, long before Pluto).

Ceres is about 600 miles across and takes 4.6 years to orbit the Sun (Mars takes 1.9 years, while Jupiter takes 12 years.) The Hubble Space Telescope images of it (see one attached here) show lighter and darker areas. The water vapor is not evenly distributed around Ceres and there is more of it when Ceres is closer to the Sun, so there may be some ice that is sublimating (going from frozen form to vapor) in parts of Ceres.

At Ceres' distance from the Sun, ice on the surface would have all sublimated long ago, so this must be vapor coming from a deeper (frozen) layer, which was a surprise. Some astronomers think there may be enough water ice under the surface of Ceres to make an ocean. This is the first time water vapor has been detected in the asteroid belt, although we have seen it coming from a moon of Jupiter's and a moon of Saturn's. There may be plumes or "geysers" of water vapor coming from parts of Ceres, perhaps like the ones on Saturn's satellite Enceladus.

We will know a lot more about conditions on Ceres next March and April, when the Dawn spacecraft arrives for a rendezvous with Ceres and provides images with unprecedented detail of this intriguing member of our solar system. (Dawn gave us lots of great information about Vesta, the second largest asteroid, before it departed for Ceres in 2012.) Isn't it great how nature continues to surprise and delight us as we explore our cosmic neighborhood?

An Eerie Astronomical Photo

Click on the photo to make it bigger ^

Here is a gorgeous image taken by master astro-photographer Travis Rector (of the University of Alaska), showing a region of cosmic raw material (glowing gas and dark dust.) This is like one of those inkblot tests that psychologists are fond of -- what shape you see in the picture may be highly individual.

What we are actually looking at is a small part of a larger region where star birth is going on right now. Known by its catalog number of IC1396, this "emission nebula" is set to glow by the brilliant light of new stars that have already been born in this region and are shining with adolescent energy.

IC1396 is a cloud of loose gas and dark dust (the dust really isn't that different from what you find under your desk when you are too busy thinking cosmic thoughts to clean up regularly.) The dust is shaped into long filaments, when the light of energetic stars pushes the less dense parts of the dust away from the stars (in this case, in the down direction on this photo.) Only the thickest regions of dust remain after a while, making long, dark tendrils like we see here.

IC 1396 is about 3000 light years away in the constellation of Cepheus. You can see the entire nebula (much larger than the small part seen in our photo) here:

So what did the dark shape remind YOU of?

Stars That Eat Planets for Lunch

In the last couple of weeks, astronomers have announced the discovery of two stars that show evidence of having eaten some of their own Earth-like planets. Today came the announcement of the discovery of a star with planets that is growing larger and larger and is going to be eating its inner planets in the next couple of hundred million years.

These kinds of star "cannibal activity" are not that rare and should not cause us undue distress. It's business as usual in the Milky Way Galaxy, but what's new is that we are getting direct evidence for activities that earlier we only predicted from theory.

The two stars that already finished their meal a long time ago are known by their catalog numbers, HD20781 and HD20782. These stars belong to the same star system, and formed from the same original cloud of cosmic raw materials. This is the first "binary star" system where astronomers have discovered planets around each star. One has two Neptune-sized planets close by, the other has a Jupiter-sized planet whose orbit is not a nice circle but a stretched oval-shape.

Astronomers took a look at what the two stars are made of -- something we can learn by looking at the details in the colors of light from them. Every different element leaves its own "fingerprints" in the colors of light. Because the two stars formed at the same time, from the same "cosmic womb," we have more information about what they were like at the beginning.

According to Trey Mack, of Vanderbilt University, a graduate student who did the detailed analysis, both stars show evidence of elements in their atmospheres that were most likely not there when the two stars formed. Instead they are tell-tale signs of the stars having eaten planets made of rock. One star seems to have eaten the equivalent of 20 Earths, while the other consumed "only" ten Earths earlier in its history.

Astronomers have thought for a while that big "bully" planets like Jupiter and Neptune can, under the right circumstances, move inward and force smaller planets (like our Earth) to approach their stars until they are consumed. We are fortunate that this did not happen in the case of our solar system, and the Earth has a stable, undisturbed orbit which has allowed this blog's readers to evolve here. But it's getting clearer and clearer that not all star system will have the same history as ours did.

The other work deals with an act of cannibalism that happens late in the life of a star. All stars, at some point, have a "life-crisis" when their first fuel for making energy is all used up and the star has to adjust by briefly swelling up into a red-colored giant. The news is that astronomers have discovered that one of the stars around which the Kepler space mission has found three planets is on its way toward this period of swelling up. The star is known as Kepler 56, and the way in which it has started to swell up is telling us that it will eventually swallow its two inner planets, leaving only its outermost planet as survivor.

The devastation will not occur until more than a hundred million years have gone by, so it's not an immediate tragedy. We have seen many stars that swell up like this, but none of them have been known to possess planets. Kepler 56's worlds are therefore the first planets known to be orbiting other stars whose doom we can now predict. (By the way, in case you are worried, our own Sun will also have such a crisis and will swell up. But this is not happening for another five or six billion years, so I am not ready yet to include this eventuality on my home insurance policy.)

The image, by the way, is an artist's impression of an Earth-like planet being torn apart and then "eaten" by a Sun-like star.

My First Cook Book

Good evening. Ya'll come on in and have a cup of coffee with us. It's a little cool today and quite different from yesterday when I was sweating. I put on my shorts, tank top and flip flops this morning and was fine until I went outside to hang up clothes. Whoa, that wind is a little cool. In the sun and out of the wind it is great but the wind is really cool.

I have 6 big tomato plants to put out but now I have to wait until it warms up. They do not like cool weather and will just sit there so I think they will be happier on the patio in the sun. The patio is sheltered and the cement reflects the heat and they will be quite happy until later next week. Tomatoes are a necessity for me for I love tomato sandwiches, sliced tomatoes, diced or just eaten like an apple. They are best right out of the garden, still warm and juice running down your arm while you are eating it. These store-bought ones are used only when absolutely necessary.

The picture at the top of the page is my first cookbook and was a gift from a dear, family, friend, Miss Tess Newell. We spent many hours in her home where she lived with her mother, sister (Miss Leacy), and brother (Mr. Mac). Their home was way down in Coy, the lower part of Wilcox County, AL and Mr. Mac was a master farmer and close friend of our daddy. Miss Tess was the "bestest" cook in the county and she always had a cake, pies, cookies, and candy ready when we visited. When she cooked a meal it meant meat, bread, vegetables and dessert and lots of it. There would be homemade pickles, relishes and jelly to go with the hot biscuits. This sweet lady knew how to put out a spread. She knew I loved to cook and gave me this book to begin my own collection of recipes and many are hers.

We ate lots of good meals at the Newell's home down in Coy and it was interesting that the kitchen and dining room was connected to the back of the house by a porch. It stemmed from early years when cooking was done on a wood stove and if a fire broke out the whole house would not burn. They had an electric stove by the time we began visiting but the house was still basically like it was when built. We loved to visit this family and always had a wonderful time. That porch would be cool in the summer but you ran in the winter to get out of the cold for the wind would whistle right through there.

The book is a notebook with heavy card stock pages and the dividers have pockets where you can store clipped recipes until you try them out and decide if the are a "keeper." I began to write down mama's special recipes, some of Miss Tess' and Miss Leacy's and clipped new ones from Better Homes and Garden, Farm Journal, Progressive Farmer and McCall's. These were the ones mama always subscribed to and I still have some of the clipped recipes in the pockets.

I began with some of my favorite recipes from mama and I thought you might enjoy them also so I will share with you. These are still some of our favorite recipes and are really good.

CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP (mama's handwritten recipe)

1/stick oleo - old fashioned name for margarine but I like to use butter
2 Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. soda (my grandmother Polk always said "sody")
1 tsp. sugar
2 cups tomato juice (Mama used a pint of her juice she canned or a pint of tomatoes she would chop finely plus the juice from the jar)
1/4 cup catsup
1/cup cream or whole milk (ours would have been milk from our cow)
salt and pepper to taste
Melt oleo and blend in the flour until smooth, add tomato juice, continue stirring. Add salt, sugar and soda and cook until it almost boils then add catsup and cream and simmer until thoroughly hot.
Serves 4
She usually served this with toasted cheese sandwiches or hot biscuits, and lots of good, cold milk. Use medium heat and stir to keep the milk from scorching.

I made this one time for our children when they were about 10 and 6 for they loved the canned soup from A&P and Robby asked if I could open him a can of "real" soup. Deflated my ego for I was so proud I had made it from scratch. So from then on I just opened a can.

A pie recipe that mama made most every week was "Egg Custard" pie. We had lots of eggs and milk from our own chickens and cow and they had to be used in some way. Mama would make a pie crust and put this custard in it or bake it without the crust. It just depended on how busy she was. Sometimes she would put coconut in it for daddy loved coconut but we also liked it just plain. With all 5 of us at home that pie lasted 1 meal so she usually doubled the recipe so we would have one for snacking later or for supper.

3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. butter
can add coconut if you like before pouring into pie shell and I have no idea how much but guessing about 3/4 cup.
(These are mama's instructions just like she gave them to me)
Put milk and butter on, let come to a boil. Beat eggs and sugar together. Mix all the ingredients and pour into pie shell. Sift nutmeg on top of pie. Bake at 325 degrees until done.
I am including these instructions so you won't have to interpret for I know exactly what she meant.
Beat the eggs and sugar together in small bowl. Put milk and butter in saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring gently to keep milk from scorching until it reaches a slow boil. Remove from heat, pour a little into the egg mixture to temper the eggs, add remainder of the eggs and sugar to milk mixture, mix well and pour into pie shell. Sprinkle with nutmeg and bake until set and slightly brown on top.

If you need a pie crust recipe I have one in one of my older posts and it is so easy to make so why buy a pie shell unless you are in a tearing hurry.

This cookbook has lots of history in it and along with mama's and Miss Tess' recipes I have some from Miss Leacy Newell who was my Home Ec teacher" and Miss Tess' sister. "Miss Leacy" taught me home ec, was our FFA sponsor, and was a dear friend.

Every now and then I get it out and use some of the old recipe that mama, grandmother and I used to cook and they are still good, simple, delicious recipes. I hope you will enjoy the 2 I have shared and I will share others later on. Mama baked 2 really good pound cakes and I will include those soon.

Now ya'll come back to see us soon and I will try to have a pound cake to go with the coffee next time. It was great talking to ya'll and be careful going home and hurry back.

Nuff said,

The Georgia Peach

The parallels between the stolen Iranian election of 2009 and the American of 2000 and 2004 are tragic. The histories---and futures---of the two nations are inseparable. Bound up in their tortured half-century of crime and manipulation are the few glimmers of hope for lasting peace in the Middle East.
In both countries, a right-wing fundamentalist authoritarian with open contempt for human rights and the Geneva Convention has come up a winner, with catastrophic consequences. In both countries, the blowback of two George Bushes loom large.
In the US, two “defeated” candidates---Al Gore and John Kerry---said and did nothing in the face of two stolen elections. But an unprecedented voter protection movement arose from the ashes of those defeats to assure the 2008 victory of America's first African-American president.

In Iran, the “defeated” candidate---Mir Hussein Moussavi---is fighting back, along with massive grassroots resistance. How far they get will define the Iranian future---as well as that of the Middle East.

In a fluid and unpredictable situation, here are some indisputables:

1) A half-century ago, the people of Iran attempted a democratic revolution led by a moderate progressive, Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh, whose social-democratic inclinations have been revived by Moussavi.
2) Prime Minister Mossadegh was overthrown by the Eisenhower Administration and its Central Intelligence Agency, which wanted to wall in the Soviet Union and protect western oil interests.
3) Norman Schwarzkopf, Sr. (father of the Gulf War general of the same name) used a suitcase full of US taxpayer dollars to bribe Iran’s anti-democratic sympathizers and help overthrow Mossadegh.
4) They installed the pro-U.S. general Fazlollah Zahedi, who handed control of Iran to the brutal and vicious Shah. The dictatorial Shah ruled through the infamous secret terror/torture police force Savak, which Schwartzkopf helped train.
4) A prototypical CIA asset, the Shah used his iron torturer’s hand to “westernize” the country and make it more user-friendly to US oil interests.
5) Among other things, the U.S., France and other western powers were moving to provide the Shah with up to 36 atomic power plants designed to provide electricity and, ultimately, radioactive materials with which to build his own atomic bombs.
6) Despite his ostensible commitment to human rights, President Jimmy Carter made a point of spending a high-profile New Year’s with the Shah, evoking the bitter hatred of millions of Iranians.
7) The Shah’s overthrow by fundamentalist Ayatollah Khomeini led to the 1979-80 hostage crisis that finally sank Carter’s presidency. Amidst indications of a secret deal involving past and future CIA Directors George H.W. Bush and William Casey, the release of the hostages was delayed long enough to guarantee Carter’s defeat, thus inaugurating the Age of Ronald Reagan, with 12 of its 28 years under the two George Bushes.
8) Secret dealings between Reagan/Bush and the Iranians led to the iran-Contra Affair, when covert operatives like Oliver North funneled arms to the Iranians and laundered cash and drugs through the reactionary Contra forces fighting revolution in Nicaragua.
9) The Contras in turn flooded the US with cocaine, feeding a horrific crack epidemic that has crippled the black and Hispanic communities here for two decades.
10) Those US-financed arms were used to fight the Iraqis and Saddam Hussein, whom the US also supported, and whom Donald Rumsfeld publicly embraced in the early 1980s. The American goal seems to have been to weaken both Iran and Iraq through a horrifying war that claimed at least a million casualties, ultimately infuriating both citizenries.

After a half-century of dictatorship under the Shah and the CIA, followed by the Ayatollah and the fundamentalists, the Iranian public appears desperate to return to the social-democratic vision of Mossadegh, denied so long ago.

In the US in 2000 and 2004, the corporate/religious right put George W. Bush in the White House---and then kept him there---with a sophisticated election theft machine built around elimination of voter registrations, manipulation of the vote count, and a wide array of supporting tactics. The US Supreme Court set it all in stone with its infamous Bush v. Gore decision, which prevented a true vote count in Florida 2000. History repeated itself in Ohio 2004.

In Iran 2009, the ruling fundamentalist elite has barely pretended to count the votes at all, merely rushing to announce a prê-determined outcome. The reigning Ayatollah has played the role of the US Supreme Court by certifying the outcome before a real ballot tally could possibly occur. Blank spaces in the texts of Iranian newspapers and an electronic blackout created by official censors reflect the on-going vacuum in the US corporate media, which has yet to seriously report what was done to the American elections of 2000 and 2004.

What will happen next in Iran is anyone’s guess. George W. Bush fueled its fundamentalist right by calling it a “terror state” whose nuclear weapons ambitions are fueled with materials produced by the “Peaceful Atom” Eisenhower inaugurated in 1953, around the time he was disposing of Mossadegh.

Bush’s counterpart, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is now turning the state terror apparatus---reminiscent of the Shah’s---against those who would mention the illegitimacy of his rule.

Thus tragedy looms at the brink of opportunity. That democracy in Iran so clearly won at the polls is a sign of great courage and hope on the part of the Iranian people. They are fighting terrible odds, not of their own making. Should they break free, the storm would re-shape the Middle East---and much more.

In the meantime, perhaps their American counterparts, instructed by the ghost of Mossadegh, might finally face up to the true price of sowing such cynical, lethal whirlwinds.

93294439 Tiger Woods is Officially Divorced

Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images

Tiger Woods and his Swedish-born wife officially divorced Monday, nine months after his middle-of-the night car crash outside his home set off shocking revelations that the world’s most famous athlete had been cheating on his wife.

“We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future,” Woods and Elin Nordegren said in a joint statement released by their lawyers.

[photogallerylink id=1291 align=left]The divorce was granted in Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, Fla., about 375 miles away from their Isleworth home outside Orlando. The couple had married in October 2004 in Barbados and have a 3-year-old daughter, Sam, and a 19-month-old son, Charlie.

Terms of the divorce were not disclosed, except that they will “share parenting” of their two children.

The divorce was finalized by Bay County Circuit Judge Judy Pittman Biebel during a brief hearing in a conference room in her chambers, according to Biebel’s judicial assistant Kim Gibson. The hearing was very brief, only about five or 10 minutes. Both Woods and Nordegren were present, along with their lawyers, Gibson said.

“I don’t comment on active cases,” Thomas J. Sasser, Woods’ divorce attorney, said. When asked why they chose to file in Panama City, Sasser said only it was a joint decision by the lawyers.

Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, declined comment when asked if they had a prenuptial agreement or terms of the settlement. “We’re not commenting beyond what was in the release,” he said.

Nordegren’s mother, Barbro Holmberg, also declined comment.

The petition said the marriage was “irretrievably broken” and that Woods’ wife asked to have her maiden name – Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren – restored.

The couple signed a marital settlement agreement on July 3 and July 4, the weekend of the AT&T National outside Philadelphia, where Woods failed to break par in a PGA Tour event for the first time in 11 years.

New Design - 'Back In The Day'

I love vintage lithograph advertisements, especially those found on old biscuit tins, fruit crates, seed packages or cigar boxes.

I don't truly 'collect' things, don't you know how much dust they can hold? lol However, I love to look at these wonderful bits of history.

Here is a great comment about them from the Huntington Library Color Explosion-
"In the 19th century, color lithography created a communication revolution and brought art, literature, and music to the masses. The process had a dramatic impact on consumer culture, too, as colorful and appealing product labels began to influence advertising, branding, and customer choices. Everything from cigar boxes to children’s games suddenly exploded with color."

I wanted to create a design reminiscent of those brightly colored and ornately decorated patterns and so here is my tribute to those wonderful late Victorian and Edwardian era chroma lithographs - 'Back in the Day'. Which is a term that always makes me laugh when I hear it today and I thought it worked well for my taste which lies firmly 'back in the day'.

This one will take some time to stitch, it's stitch count is 227 x 299. I'm stitching it on an 18 count ivory aida cloth and the design will measure about 12 1/2" x 16 1/2". The dmc colors and the HDF I'm using in the model are -

DMC 782, Topaz,dk - HDF silk floss Bird Feathers #4107
DMC 996, Electric Blue - HDF Fugue Blue #2239
DMC 702, Kelly Green - HDF Isle Green #3211
DMC 740, Tangerine - HDF Gold Rush #4231
This is also the first of my designs that contains elements of Assissi-style work, also known as voided work since it involves stitching a background to reveal an image. I haven't used this technique before and I'm happy to say I find it is pleasant to stitch. I hope you will as well.

  1. I'm so happy to see you are stitching your designs. Sometimes an image looks wonderful but not great when actually worked with thread and fabric. Nice work!

  2. Thank you, and you are so right, nothing takes the place of the actual fabric and floss :)

  3. Just a really quick note to say that I like this new one. I hope that all is well with you!

  4. Thank you, Ginger. Hope all is well with you too :)

Too Long (New update with LOTS of pictures)

Seriously, why is it that I can't keep up with this blog?! It has been over a month since I last posted and we have been busy. The only time I get to sit and blog is after all the kids are in bed at night and by that time I am so worn out that all I want to lay down myself.

Monday thru Thursday my days mostly consist on getting Timothy to and from school, and getting things done around the house or errands in between those times. Timothy is doing great in school, and he still LOVES going. He has been writing his name, writing his numbers, making all kinds of projects that he brings home daily, and next week it is fire prevention week.

It's always a good sign when your child gets upset that they have to miss school. Later this month there is a field trip to a pumpkin patch that I am looking forward to attending with him and his class, grandma is even going to go!

Besides Timothy going to school we have been keeping busy with other family activities on his days off and on dad's days off. A couple weeks ago my mom and I took the boys to see Toy Story 3 On Ice. They LOVED it, Mason was so excited he could hardly contain himself during the show, and was interested the whole time. It was a lot of a fun and a great show!

We also spent a day at the park last weekend with grandma and grandpa, it was so nice outside.

And a trip to The Museum of Transportation with grandma while daddy went to a gun show. This is always a hit with the boys, anything that has to do with trains and cars is always good in their book. But Taylor really enjoyed herself too, especially the little train ride we took.

So we have been go, go, go which is always nice. I would rather be busy than sit at the house all the time. Tomorrow I have another big update all about the pregnancy so stay tuned. And once again I am going to try and do some catching up on all of your blogs and updating my header and such.

I hope you all are doing well, and I look forward to catching up. Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the day!

Let No One Call Profane

I think I have said before that this part of Acts is my favorite part of scripture.  Some may also know that I went to seminary in the South.

The practice of Christianity in the South is a little bit different than it is in NEPA.  Folks want to know your conversion story.  They will buy you a cup of coffee and ask you about how you came to Christ.  It matters.  They’ll ask you what your favorite scriptures are.

This are different up here.  I first learned this when I was the associate pastor at Shavertown UMC, and was teaching confirmation.  I sat them down in class one day and told them that I would teach them how to respond when someone approached them in school about whether they were saved.  It was a common question to ask in rural Texas, and I just thought it was a common thing.

They looked at me like I had two heads.  That had never happened to them, and in fact, they found it hard to imagine.

When we talk about scriptures that guide us, it’s an easier conversation there than here.  But when I am asked that question, this part of Acts, 10 and 11, are what I say.

Chapter 11 is the report of Peter to the Jerusalem folks, the leaders.  No one had approved Peter going and baptizing gentiles, no one had discussed it, and yet he’d gone and done it.  He needed to share why.  Chapter 11 is that explanation.

Peter had been up on the roof of a house in Joppa, getting fresh air and praying, when in that prayer time, he has a vision.  In that vision, a sheet of some sort descends from the sky, and on this sheet are all matter of animals, and birds, and lizards, and such.  The subtext is that this sheet is filled with all of the animals on earth, and that means there are both clean and unclean animals, there. We know this mainly because there is Peter responding to the visions’ voice saying “kill and eat” by saying “I cannot eat, Lord, I am observant.”

So, to help us understand what it is that on that sheet, let’s put it into our understanding, by saying what it is that modern observant Jews can’t eat.

Baby back ribs.

Meat pizza.

This gives us an idea about what might be there for Peter, and what he is saying by denying the voice.

The next line is the important line, the reason for the vision; “what I have created, you will not call profane.”

It is said three times, and then the sheet rolls back into the sky, and immediately there is a knock on the downstairs door.

The men at the door are the emissaries of Cornelius, a Roman commander, who has been told by an angel to send to Joppa and bring Peter back to his house.

And there’s Peter, in that house, having just had this vision, now receiving the dirtiest of the dirty.  Not just gentiles, but also officials of the occupation force that is subjugating his country.

And Peter says ok.

At Cornelius’ house, Peter meets everyone, and he begins to go into his sermon, the Holy Spirit descends on the people, just like it did as described in the 2nd chapter of Acts, when tongues as of blue fire flicker over the heads of the believers, and a great wind blows.

This is very important to notice-the same exact event has happened now to gentiles, not just the Jews.

Up until now, the people who follow Jesus have almost entirely been people who define themselves in separation.  They separate themselves, by food, by gentile, by sex.

But in this moment, God has destroyed those lines.  And Peter has listened to the Holy Spirit, though he is surely not comfortable.  But now he has to go explain what happened.

He does, and they “settle down”.  They understand.  They didn’t expect it, but now the word of Jesus is to be extended to the whole world, no exceptions.  There is no one who should be considered exempt from the love of God.

Which means there is no place for prejudice in the Christian faith.  There is no place for gossip.  We are all alike, we are equally loved by God.

When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, our heart expands, our prejudices disappear.

When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, we truly see each and every person around us, the person in line at the grocery store, the person who honks their horn as soon as the light turns green, even though they are like 4 cars back (I hate that!).  Even that person has the spark of God within them.  (Darn it).

All whom we meet, all whom we know.  All whom we don’t know.  All whom we hate.  The people who have hurt us, the people who have destroyed our families, the people who set off bombs at marathons:  All are eligible for the love of God.

The gentle and easy way to say it is Olly Olly Oxen Free.  Everybody’s out can come in.

A spiritual discipline for Christian spiritual growth, is to identify whom it is you don’t want in your life, and realize that that little part of us, the one that resents, resists, and shuns, is NOT Christ like.  And to work on it.

That is who we are.  We are people in progress.  This is who we are supposed to be.  We all have our prejudices, we all have our biases.  To grow in Christ is to name them and to work on them.

To truly be able to say “what God has created, let no one call profane.”

I haven’t ever been on a fishing camping trip.  When Donna and I went camping, at the end of the summer, I bought a fishing pole once, and a weighted bob (I think it was a bob), and I would just use it to cast and reel in, cast and reel in.  No hook.  I got pretty accurate, but it was just about the meditation, not about catching fish.

There’s a story about Albert Einstein that is similar.  He loved to sail, but knew nothing about sailing.  So he’d put out in his boat, and float around Long Island Sound, and then at dusk, the Coast Guard would go out and bring him back in.

He’d be out there all day, just thinking.

I’ve never been on a fishing trip that featured the pressure of actually catching fish, or the added pressure of having to catch fish to feed your family.

But I do know the meditation of being on the water.  And this is maybe what Peter is thinking about when he tells the other disciples “I’m going to go fishing.”

You must remember what these disciples have been through in the past couple of weeks.  Jesus has been killed, Peter has failed him, the disciples were less faithful than Peter, then the women go to the tomb and report back the disappearance of Jesus’ body.  Then they gather together in a locked room, and Jesus appears anyway.  And then he comes back the next week for Thomas.

Put yourself in their shoes.  Wouldn’t you be a little scared, a little confused.  Jesus is supposed to be dead, and some of us have now seen him, in the flesh, twice.

It would cause you to think.  It would cause you to go find somewhere familiar and meditate, doing something mindless.  It would cause you to go fishing.

The rest of the disciples with him, some of whom are not even fishermen, decide they are going as well.

And they don’t catch anything all night.  In the morning, there’s this guy out on the beach who hollers out to them “hey, catch anything?”  They’re only about a football fields’ length out, so they can hear, and respond with a big fat “no”.

The man on the beackh hollers back “try the right side of the boat!”

So Peter tosses the net, and as soon as they start pulling on the rope, they can tell it’s different.  The net is very heavy, and hard to pull.  They wrestle it to the surface, so they can see that it is full of fish, but they can’t get it any higher into the boat.

And remember, this is the Gospel of John, so I’m willing to bet that these fish aren’t the bottom of the lake skinny ones, either.  Just like the wine that got better than the stuff served before it at the wedding in Cana, Jesus’ first miracle, these fish are probably big and fat, and have very few bones.

Peter figures it out: he realizes it is Jesus, and says “it’s the Lord!”, and he throws his clothes on and starts swimming to shore.  The rest of the guys in the boat paddle the boat and the trailing huge net of fish back.

They get there, and Jesus invites them to put some of their fish on the charcoal fire he’s built, and they do.

If I’ve had a stressful night of thinking and confusion, I would think that grilled fish on a beach at daybreak would be the cure of a lot of what ails me.  That just sounds wonderful!

The lesson from the text, separate with what he says to peter, immediately following this, which is really it’s own sermon, is this; Jesus is starting to be able to be relied on.  This is the third time he’s showed up.  The disciples are starting to get the clue, that Jesus will be with them anywhere.  Which could also mean everywhere.  It’s not just the Upper Room anymore.

We say the word at Christmas:  Emmanuel.  God with us.  Christmas is the promise, of what Jesus can be for us.  But in Easter, and these stories after Easter, we see the fulfillment.  We see the reality of Jesus as Emmanuel, and what that really looks like.  Bit by bit, step by step.

This is the story the disciples begin to tell.  Peter goes to Rome, and Paul goes all over the eastern Med, and legend has it that James is buried in far western Spain, and Thomas ends up in India.

As the story spreads out, the tale is Jesus Christ, Emmanuel.  And they haven’t just heard it, they have experienced it.  They have lived it.  It is testimony, not hearsay.

Just as I said last week with Thomas, there is nothing wrong with proof.  When we first step out in faith, we have to have it proven to us.  After a while, we realize that faith has become trust.  After the third time, the disciples surely must start expecting Jesus at odd times and in odd places.  After a while, we do the same thing.  We move from fear that Jesus won’t be with us this time, to expectation that jesus will be with us at some point along the way.  Or all the time.  This is the difference between a mature faith and a childlike faith.

We need them proven to us at first, just like the disciples did.  Peter sees it first, and they get it from him.  They tell others of their proof, they testify, and then others tell their stories, and so it goes, all the way to America, through our ancestors, here to church and our families.  And then someone told you.

Now the story is ours to tell.    God is with you, and now you are called to tell your story of God’s presence.  It can be in the dark of the night of chemotherapy; it can be in the loneliness of a relationship in trouble; it can be in the room when a child is born.

After a while, you just begin to know that God is with you.  And this is the story you can begin to tell.

Go tell it.

Trusting the Rock Bridge

Thomas gets a bad rap.  He is only saying the things we’d all think or say when given the same circumstances.  Think about it.  We’re so used to Jesus being divine, and reading the stories of the Bible, that when does something interesting, or miraculous, or in this case a little spooky, we all say “well, that’s just Jesus; and anyone who doesn’t believe that just doesn’t believe in Jesus.”

We forget that these are just folks, and what they’ve just gone through has been hard.  Lots of stuff has happened that has been hard to believe for the people living through it, just like it would be for us.

They’re in that upper room, and remember the story says that the door was locked.  No one heard the door open, no one heard the door close, no one heard the lock being picked, and yet, here he is all of a sudden.  This is the first time, at least in John, that they see him.  He’s supposed to be dead!  The sotyr that the women have told is all very good and interesting, and they’ve seen the empty tomb.

“OK”, they say, “the body isn’t here.  What’s next?”  This is what’s next.

Jesus appears to them, and says “look at me, I’m here.  Look at the holes in my hand, look at the cut in my side.”

This proves two things:  He’s Jesus, and that he isn’t a ghost.  He’s tangible, physical.  In another text, he eats a piece of fish to prove it.

He’s for real.  That’s what the resurrection did.

Poor Thomas, he’s not there.  Maybe he’s off getting the hot dogs and buns right then.  He comes back, and they all say “You’re not going to believe what just happened!  Apparently Jesus came, did the thing, and left before Thomas got there.  So Thomas hears the story, and responds like we all would, like Cosby in the Noah routine:  “Riiight!”

And so, as an indicator of grace, Jesus comes back at the same time the next week.  And is it fair to think he came back for Thomas?  I think so.  He gives everyone his peace again, and then pulls Thomas aside, and gives him the same opportunity he gave everyone else.

What else could Thomas respond with, other than “My Lord and my God!”  It’s all righ there, literally and flesh and blood.

What gives Thomas a bad rap is the general interpretation of the last line, “Have you believed because you have seen me?  Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed.”  It has come to mean “Those of you who expect empirical or scientific proof of Christ are foolish.”

I beg to differ.  The things that Jesus is asking those first disciples to believe in that first visit; he tells them that his peace he brings to them, and his peace he leaves with them, and he breathes on them the Holy Spirit; this is John’s version of Pentecost, right here.

And then he shows up again to do the same thing for Thomas.  And they are all sent out to do what Jesus was doing; teach, do miracles, even die in the faith.  To spread the story around the world; not just among Jews, but Gentiles, too; Peters’ Centurion, Philip’s Eunuch, and others.   The world began to spread out, but it had to start with these disciples.

Now imagine these mean and women.  You’ve now been told that you can do what Jesus did.  You can heal and teach, too.

Can you imagine what Peter must have felt like, that first time, as he tried to heal?  And then what he felt like when it did happen?

Wouldn’t that prove to you that you could, if you did?

That’s proof, isn’t it?

So maybe Thomas isn’t such a bad guy, then, for wanting proof.

I don’t know many here among us who can lay hands on and heal, or other stuff that gets done in Scripture.  But we can still see proof of the love of God in the people around us.

We all know people whose life just seems to be a succession of difficulties.  And yet they know that God is not the source of their struggle, but rather God is the companion.  Sure, they may have made bad choices, or just circumstances, but God is with them at all times.

When they say that “God is with them”, instead of “why Lord have you done this”, it is proof of faith.

There’s a scene from the movie “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”, that gets shown often in churches equipped with the technology when the subject of faith is raised.

The background is like this-Indy’s father has been shot, and they know that the cup of Christ can save him.  So Indy is sent to face the trials that must be faced before the cup is recovered.  He’s avoided the head-cutting saws of the first test by kneeling like a penitent man, and now, he’s faced with a chasm across which it’s too far to jump, and there is nothing to use his bullwhip on a swinging vine.

Now he’s got the clue in the book with him, and it’s a knight walking in midair across this chasm.  And the words say “you must walk by faith”.  Well, Indy’s got trouble with this, because he knows he has no faith.  And yet, here he must, with his dad dying behind him.

So he closes his eyes, and steps out into midair, and falls into the chasm.

Except he doesn’t.  Instead, he comes down onto a rock bridge that has been carved to look exactly like the facing rock wall, as an optical illusion.  Until he stepped out in faith, he did not know that it was there.

This is what we have to do when we step out in faith, too.  In the beginning.  After a few times of stepping out in faith, we begin to trust it’s there, and faith of that sort isn’t as necessary as it had been.

Many of us are like Indy.  Maybe we don’t have the trust in God that seems to be required of the churchy people around us.  Maybe we haven’t had the experiences that cause us to believe, yet.  We need proof in our own lives.

Our proof comes in acting out of faith.  John Wesley has said that we must “preach Christ until you have Christ”.

There is a goal to which all Christians aspire, and that is to have faith in God at every moment of the day.  And the way to do that is to prove it to ourselves, and the best way to prove it is to act as if you believe.

After a while, those who trust in faith who began by saying, “O, my goodness this is scary, will God show up”, start to say instead “Oh, goody, Let’s see where God shows up this time!”

We have to grow into the sight of God in the world. We have to experience the arrival enough times that it becomes less scary, and more anticipated.

So, when Jesus says “blessed are those who do not see and yet believe”, it isn’t a rebuke.  It is a technique.  It is how we grow in faith.  It is necessary for growth in faith.

How to put your foot out into the chasm and trust that it will land on the rock bridge, and eventually just know that it is there.

Where We Live

Easter Morning

Preached on March 31, 2013

We can finally say Alleluia, again!  There’s this ancient church tradition that says that during Lent, you omit the word “Alleluia from all worship, because there is nothing to be happy about.

Now is a joyful time!  I’ve already talked to a few people who have food in the ovens at home, preparing for some sort of dinner event later today.  A couple of the people who came to sunrise service did so because they wanted to get worship before they chained themselves to their stoves!

Some folks have decided that cooking is for the birds, and they’ve made reservations somewhere.

Some folks, like preachers, are going home and sleeping after church.

There is joy in Easter!  There are joyful things to be had; candy in baskets, deviled eggs; sales at Target (or Sears),

There is joy in Easter, but sometimes we forget what the root of that joy is.

There are folks who are not in church this morning.  Not everyone is Christian.  Some people are celebrating Passover this week.  Some are Muslim or Hindu, or something else, and some people worship at the church of St. Mattress.

But they do all benefit from the holiday we have given our culture.  Our holiday is the reason for secular sales.  But let’s not celebrate Easter the way that the world participates in it.  At least lets not forget what it is we are really acknowledging in this holiday.

Easter is where we live.  This day, and the things we commemorate on this day, is the root of all it means to be Christian.

If we do not have Easter; if we do not have the resurrection of Christ, then a very wise rabbi and teacher was killed as a political prisoner in Jerusalem by the Roman Empire, and thus endeth the story.  We’re done.

He is merely a son of God the way we are all Children, and that’s it.

It takes today to make this unique and special.  It takes Easter, it takes the Resurrection.  It takes the women who come to the tomb at daybreak, finds the tomb open and two strange men standing there, telling them that he is not there, and going back to the disciples and saying they would love to dress the body, but there’s no body there!

In one of the other Gospels, they find the body gone, and the rest of the women go away, and Mary Magdalene is left standing there crying to talk to the gardener.  He says, in a certain tone of voice, “Mary!”, and she realized that it’s Jesus.

Notice, in all these stories, that the first people to give the announcement of the empty tomb, the first ones to proclaim the Gospel, as it were, are women.  They are the ones who bring the first message to the male disciples.

The message that they carried is the message we carry now.  Jesus was more than just a wise man who was killed as a political prisoner.  He was sent by God so that we may know God’s love.  The final proof we have that God loves us, is that Jesus was raised from the dead.  Death has no power over us.  You may not believe in heaven, but it is your choice to do so, but in our central core of belief, we are told it is there.  We can’t prove it scientifically, we can’t point to it in a telescope, or reach for it through time travel or quantum physics, but we know that death here on earth is not the end.

And God has given us the power to overcome death.  We may not be as we were, but we know there is something after.

This is the joy of Easter.  This is the promise of Easter.  This is why we do the things we do in this world, as Christians.  We follow more than just a wise man; we follow the Son of God, who was raised from the dead by God.

This is why people dip Peeps in chocolate; this is why hams are baked, and kielbasa is smoked, and potatoes are scalloped; to show love in various ways.  We cannot show love by raising people from the dead, so we bake, we get up early, we dress our finest; we’re trying to express joy!

Christians have millions and millions of ways to show Christ’s love in the world.  And they are all based in the joy of this day, of Easter.  They are all based in the truth that Christ was given back to the world; Christ was not killed; Christ was resurrected!

And so we can say again, Alleluia!

Maundy Thursday

I realized something as I read the text for Maundy Thursday.  After the story of Jesus adapting their Passover meal into we call Eucharist or Communion, and after the foot washing, and then the garden, we hear nothing more about the disciples, except for Judas and Peter.  Everyone disappears.

At one of the two churches that I serve, there is a Maundy Thursday service, but no Good Friday service.  And in thinking about this text in that good old Ignatian style (the spiritual practice of inserting oneself as a specific character into a biblical story, and imagining with all senses what you experience), it kind of pushed me to identify with the other disciples.  The ones who scattered when the soldiers showed up in the garden.

They were even more faithless than Peter.  Peter may have denied the Son of God three times, but he showed up, at least.

Did they even know what was happening before Peter told them?  Maybe John, once, in the Gospel named after him, had a little bit of a clue, because he accompanied Mary to the cross.

If I was a fire and brimstone preacher, I would talk about how faithless we are when Jesus calls us.

But I’m not.

What I also notice, in the text, is that there are faithful disciples.  They are hardly ever mentioned, but I’d imagine that they were every place that their society would allow them.

The women.  They stood under the cross.  They might have been in the courtyard, they may have been in the garden.  But 2000 years ago, women were not always worth mentioning.  WE don’t know, therefore, where they were if they were a passive part of the crowd.

But when it came to Jesus’ crucifixion, they were standing right under Jesus, who, according to Adam Hamilton and others he attributes, was not hung high in the air, but was really only three feet or so off the ground.  Close enough to be touched.  To be heard.  To be seen.

Jesus was NOT alone.

I would expect, since the disciples were just folks the way we are, that they respond in the varied and different ways that we would when inserted into the same scenario.  Some of us would run away.  Some of us would care enough to follow, but be afraid of being associated, for fear of being killed, too.  And some of us would not even be noticed as they followed Jesus, because, after all, they were only property themselves, commodities to be traded for land and prestige.

Times have changed, society has changed, its two thousand years later, and we are no longer in the Bronze Age.  Disciples can clearly be men or women, just as both can be pastors.  There is no reason to think differently about gender, only about gifts and graces.  But our responses as disciples remain as varied as they would have been then.

On this night, Jesus said to his disciples “you are no longer my disciples, but you are now my friends.  This Passover meal, is not as a teacher and students, but as friends.  And he changed the meal they were celebrating.

He also washed their feet.  This was so shocking, because there was still an aura around him, that maybe even yet he would become the Messiah they still wanted, the military leader.  And he destroyed the last vestige of that, because a general does not wash the feet of a private.

But Jesus did.

Our general, our leader, the person we are called to follow, to emulate, to do impressions of as best we can, said to them, I have come to serve you, now you must serve each other.

How do we serve each other?

How do we serve the wider world?

I’m sure we can all think of way, a way we’re not doing now.  Something that humbles us.

 I remember my father singing a song at a talent show once, “O Lord, It’s Hard to be Humble, When You’re Perfect in Every Way.”  But we believe that we are made perfect in love THROUGH humility.

So what is that way we know we’re being called to serve, but are resistant to?  Perhaps it might even be to serve ourselves, to make ourselves stronger, to not spread ourselves so thin we serve no one and damage our spirits?

 How do we find a way to imitate Jesus?

The Latest Must-Have Service Tool for the Industrial IoT? Natural Language Generation Software.

For 21st-century field service, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a gift that keeps on giving—and what it’s giving in droves is data, massive amounts of it.

As even more industrial companies connect their physical assets to the internet, they’re finding that they need effective tools to harness the reams of data flowing from the IIoT. Natural language generation (NLG) technology, an application of artificial intelligence, is becoming an invaluable tool to help industrial companies get the most value from their operational data.

Service is one area where that data is already making an impact. NLG software allows service teams to analyze equipment performance data and make actionable decisions on when and how to service that equipment.

A Real-Time Health Check

NLG software extracts relevant information from raw and complex data sets, like sensor data from wind turbines or aircraft engines, and repackages it into an easy-to-understand narrative format. But the real challenge with NLG is delivering a narrative that’s not only based on meaningful business insights, but also reads like a subject-matter expert composed it.

To create that narrative, NLG software needs input from the experts who build and service the equipment in question—everything from what sensors are called and how they relate to each other to what constitutes an actionable event. Additionally, the narrative must be accessible to “critical business users who do not have a data science or software development background, but are relied on for operational decision-making,” says Benjamin Decio, CEO of NarrativeWave.

Since 2014, NarrativeWave has developed IIoT software that combines employees’ expertise with operational data to create an “evolving knowledge base” of how a company’s critical industrial assets should be operated, maintained and evaluated.

“We make it easy for engineers to input, document and share what’s in their heads,” Decio explains. “We help them, often for the first times in their careers, to be proactive with decision-making instead of wasting time reacting to redundant alerts and alarms.”

Cutting Through the Industrial Noise

NarrativeWave’s platform dramatically shortens the process of reviewing the thousands of alerts and alarms (many of which are false-positives) sent to service centers from industrial machines.

It can take hours for employees to manually sift through IIoT data, diagnose issues and report their findings and recommendations. NarrativeWave slashes this process down to approximately 30 seconds, while auto-generating an easy-to-understand report on the root cause of an alarm and how to address it.

General Electric is among the companies that NarrativeWave is helping to manage the constant barrage of alarm and alert “noise” coming from its industrial machines. GE Power’s Monitoring & Diagnostic Team was closely involved in the initial development of NarrativeWave’s software. Since then, NarrativeWave has completed two pilot programs with GE. The company is currently in discussions with other GE business units about using its platform.

Advanced Analytics in Real Time

To benefit from the IIoT, companies like GE that build and manage critical assets (such as gas turbines and aircraft engines) must be able to manage their operational data and generate actionable business insights from that data in real time. Automated decision-making, increased workforce productivity, reduced field service costs, and better customer service and engagement are just some of the potential gains afforded by NLG software’s insights.

Decio says that companies are using NarrativeWave’s platform to “build a foundation for more robust analytics” that can help them find ways to improve equipment health and management, prevent critical equipment failures and downtime, and ensure that service-level agreements with customers are met.

While NarrativeWave’s technology can automate root-cause analysis, auto-generate service recommendations, and reduce human error by 25 to 30 percent, according to chief technology officer Romain Wurtz, it is by no means a replacement for human experts.

Companies still need people to build and service industrial equipment. NLG is just another tool in their increasingly tech-studded toolkits.

Dutch government hands over education's keys to Microsoft

The Dutch government wants to tie the country's schools to a single software vendor for years to come. Dutch students using Free Software or devices without Silverlight-support will find themselves locked out of schools' online systems due to the use of proprietary technology and closed standards. Marja Bijsterveldt, the secretary of education, recently said that she is unwilling to enforce the Dutch government's own Open Standards policy on educational institutions. Instead, the government will accept long-term vendor lock-in of educational institutions.

For Free Software advocate Jan Stedehouder this emphasizes the need for a stronger and more robust Open Standards policy framework. Therefore Stedeholder initiated the Dutch campaign to make the use of Open Standards mandatory in the public sector and to ensure vendor-independent access to all online service of publicly funded organisations.

The organisations and individuals supporting the campaign demand:

"The policy framework approved by the Dutch Parliament in 2007 was an important, internationally acclaimed achievement", says Stedehouder. "But political barriers have meant that this policy hasn't been implemented. As a result, students, future knowledge workers, are still locked in proprietary technology."

Stedehouder highlights that students who complain about being locked out of their school's system are being advised to buy the proprietary Microsoft Windows operating system. "This behaviour is not only unacceptable but also illegal. Our campaign aims at passing new legislation to ensure the mandatory use of Open Standards in education, to make sure that students have access to the free technology they deserve", says Stedeholder.

The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) supports the Dutch campaign which is gaining traction and has received endorsements by NLLGG, LPI Netherlands , NLUUG and HCC, and almost 900 individuals. The Dutch parliament shares the disappointment with the way the Open Standards policy framework is implemented in education. Mark Lamers, coordinator for FSFE Netherlands, says: "Now it is time to act for everybody who is in favour of a free competition in the software market, and of course all Free Software advocates: Support this campaign!"

"Though this problem is all too common around the world, the Dutch government's stance is particularly disappointing", says Karsten Gerloff, president of FSFE. "The Netherlands have some of the most progressive policies on Free Software and Open Standards in the world. But the education ministry utterly fails to implement them. I can well understand that Dutch parliamentarians are dissatisfied and want to push for a more robust policy."

More background information and up to date information on this topic are available on "Unlocking education, for growth without limits".

The chemise/slip is nearing completion..

Wow, I am just so happy. My pattern alterations were pretty close to being a perfect fit. I just need to tweak the center back seam a bit before applying the trims.♦

I am always going to need to accommodate the small back and the sway back issue. That's the one thing I did not account for since the back pattern pieces were cut on the bias. I am going to post the picture of the almost completed chemise tonight.

Yay!! I can finally start the coat this week. I will need to take a picture of the pattern and the fabrics that I want to use for the two versions..

Sunday, August 2, 2009

Here is the first version of the New Look six gore skirt. The fabric is a pretty good color match for the top. It is just not to my taste. To me this version screams," Pep squad/ cheerleader skirt."

I love this top! The fabric was a find at Far Out fabrics over on Haight St. It was the easiest fabric to sew- a stunning Swiss cotton knit. I just have to find the perfect fabric for a coordinating skirt/slacks.
Posted by Picasa
Here is the close up view of the fabric and haberdashery items for the chemise.
The trims and the fabrics are from some of my favorite stores in San Francisco- Satin Moon Fabrics, Fabrix and The Ribbonerie.

The violet picot edged trim is temporarily basted to the ivory rococo foofy item, which is going to be attatched to the mere schmere satin ribbon. This is what will be surrounding the novelty china silk on the bodice.

Well I wanted to post the picture of the New Look skirt. So here it is out of the "ugly fabric" from Pattern Review Weekend in Portland.

I love it so much more than the first go around. Using fabric with better drape makes such a difference.

I did a nifty job with the invisible zipper, it is probably the best invisible zipper application ever.

It has been finished Since July 12th. I wore it out to dinner with some incredible friends who invited me out to Yoshi's to see Kurt Elling. It was a wonderful evening of delicious music and melodic food.
Posted by Picasa
The latest project that I am working on ( along with the coat that I have not started yet) is this bias slip from this Butterick pattern. It is OOP (out of Print) and another purchase from online.

I am moving right along with it. Last night, I figured out how to make do with a few trims and ribbon from the stash, instead of making a trek out to Fabrix over on Clement St. in search of a flat lace that would suffice. It is going to turn out beautifully. I have to admit sewing bias to bias can be tricky on the side seams so I am going to hand baste it to some thin pattern paper first.

I hand stitched the violet picot trim to the rococo trim and then I am going to machine stitch it to the satin ribbon. It will make a lovely addition to the chemise.

How to

How to Make a Fun Palace – in 5 easy steps …

1. Put the weekend of 7 & 8 October 2017 in your diary. Now.

2. Read our guidelines to what a Fun Palace is – and isn’t.

3. Sign up as a Fun Palace Maker and become part of our international campaign for community at the heart of culture.

4. Tell as many people as possible about what you are doing – especially people you think might not normally hear about something like this, whether they want to join in as a Maker or come along as a participant. There are loads of useful ideas, templates, and suggestions in the Tool Kit, you’ll also find all the logos, leaflets and posters, already designed for you to download and add local details.

5. Check out the Maker section which is full of films, blogs, useful hints and tips from people who have already made Fun Palaces. There have been Makers from all sorts of organisations and venues, and teams of Makers started by just one person wanting to do something locally who ended up making a community group and a local Fun Palace, going on to do loads of other things together.

Ask yourself, what could WE do?!

You don’t need to know everything, you just need to get started.

Ready? Go!

say yes (1)
